How can I stop getting unsolicited **** messages in iMessage

As the title states I need to stop getting **** messages in iMessage on my phone. I can tell because they start with a number like 906.xx, not a phone number.
This may not be possible to stop but catch before I open
Has anyone else run into this issue and if so what have you don't to attempt to stop it.

at the top page of Messages on my phone there is no color code, it's all just grey text, I do not click open the message, I swipe left and delete but this has happened several times this month.
I done not visit those types of sights on my phone or my MBP
It's been suggested that there is a robot dialing random numbers, but to get three in a month make me wonder.
Thanks for the tip,
I will look at it on my MBP next time to see if its there and if it has a color.
very good advise
thanks

How can I stop the Struts messages

How can I stop getting Struts messages such as:
RequestProcessor - -Processing a 'POST' for path '/login'RequestProcessor - -Processing a 'GET' for path '/Welcome'
I cannot deploy my application on the production server because these messages will be all sent to the log files through System.out.
In one of other postings, someone suggested adding the commons-logging.properties, and the simplelog.properties files to the project. Unfortunately, that didn't help.
I appreciate your help.

Struts 1.1 Beta-2 (which JDev 9.0.3, 9.0.3.1, and 9.0.3.2 ship with) has a bug where you cannot silence all of the diagnostics.
It's been fixed in the Struts 1.1 final release.
See this article on my web log for how to upgrade the BC4J Toy Store appliacation to use Struts 1.1 Final. You can use the tips to then upgrade your own application, too.

How do I stop getting text messages on my macbook air

How do I stop getting text messages on my MacBook Air?

Hi,
The Mac has an App that is called Messages and one of the accounts in it is the iMessages one that can sync with the iOS one.
Open the Messages app and go to the Preferences (In the drop down Menu in the Apps name in the Menu Bar)
In the Preferences select the Accounts tab.
Select the iMessages account if it is not selected.
Untick the iPhone Number to stop iMessages sent to your iPhone Number appearing on your Mac.
Also go to the General section of the Preferences.
There is an items that reads "When I quit, set the Status to Off Line" select this.
This will stop any incoming Messages (from any source that Messages can join) from launching to app when you have not started it but your Computer is On.
You may also want to go to your iPhone Settings and remove the Apple ID.

How can i stop the upgrade message appearing everytime i open iphoto?

How can i stop the upgrade message appearing everytime i open iphoto?
It's getting ridiculous that every time i open iphoto that it insists in being upgraded and repaired. Anyone know how i can get rid of this without reinstalling it?
Thanks

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

how can i stop an error message that comes up when i am using word? the error message is "word is unable to save the Autorecover file in the location specified. Make sure that you have specified a valid location for Autoreover files in Preferences,…"

It sounds like if you open Preferences in Word there will be a place where you can specify where to store autorecover files. Right now it sounds like it's pointing to somewhere that doesn't exist.

There is some confusion about how to apply the method in the replies to that topic. A somewhat easier to understand explanation is at http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/hide-a-software-update-in-os-x-mountain-l ion, among other places on the web.
Note that you may need to click on the "more" item to see individual system software updates.
That said, the others are right: the RAW format updates are tiny & it is hardly worth the effort to hide them or to worry about the disk space they use.

How can I avoid getting this message whenever I opera Aperture 3.4.3? Thanks

"Insufficent Disk Space" it then does something to the Aperture Library. I have several Aperture Libraries stored on a 1.5T external hardrive with 1.24 T available. My internal 500G drive has 1.95G availble. Any ideas? Thanks!
Dennis

Dennis, there must be something else wrong with your Aperture Libraries, if you are getting this message, with so much free space available. Have your Aperture libraries been last used with an older Aperture version and need upgrading? How do you start Aperture? By clicking the Dock icon? Then try the following:
If your Aperture Libraries need upgrading to a newer Aperture version, repair them first: Select one of your Aperture Libraries on the external drive, hold down the key combination ⌥⌘ firmly, while you double click the library to launch into the First Aid Tools. Select "Repair Database". See, if Aperture now opens correctly.
If your Aperture Libraries does not need upgrading to a newer Aperture version, simply double click it to open in Aperture.
Does any of this make Aperture launch properly on one of your libraries?
If not, try, if you at least can launch Aperture to create a new, empty Aperture library, by holding down the ⌥-key, while you launch Aperture and select "Other/New".
Regards
Léonie

How can I stop getting this error message?

Ive been having a problem with AA3 since I installed it and I cant seem to figure it out. It doesnt happen everytime, but usually when I open AA3, load or start a session, and press the play or record button, AA3 crashes giving me the following error message.
Does anyone have any tips on how I can stop this from happening? It makes doing projects in AA3 extremely nerve wracking, never knowing if it could crash in the next second. And especially when you cant get the project to load up without crashing, extremely embarrasing when there is a band with me.
Anyway thanks for the help.

>So is this a problem with other devices using the same sound card?
Yes. You can only use an ASIO driver (which is what Audition now uses) with one program at a time. I suspect that when Audition opens, it finds what it thinks is a legitimate device, but no legitimate means of accessing it. You can't blame Adobe either - this is purely an ASIO limitiation, and Adobe only introduced ASIO because people clamoured for it for years (most of them not realising the downside to it).
You
might find that you can get around this by using the (free)
ASIO4ALL driver, which converts Audition's ASIO output to WMD, which has rather less problems from this POV.

How can I stop getting the error message of firefox not being permitted into a website?

Okay so yesterday while on my school site trying to do work and access my course, this error message popped up saying either my internet connection is not good, which it is working, or that the website is busy but it wasn't so it had to be with my firewall and firefox. So I went to firefox website to see if I can fix it, I did what they said to do and to remove firefox from the list of programs I'm allowing in and then to allow it back in. And it didn't work. So i updated firefox and it worked perfectly.
Until today, I tried to access my course and it popped up with the same message. So I tried to do what I did yesterday with removing it from the list and allowing it back in but it didn't work. And firefox is up to date so I honestly don't know what else to do. Can you help?

Sounds like you were 'fixing' the firewall for Firefox access. If Firefox is working everywhere except your school website, I doubt if your issue is with the firewall.
Please provide a screenshot of that error message.

It is best to use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed a maximum file size of 1 MB.

How can I stop getting the annoying adverts?

Why do I receive countless adverts from a company I'm paying for a service with no clear way to opt out? I've never received any similar messages from previous mobile providers, and only expect such unsolicited junk from dodgy law firms, not from the company I'm paying for mobile coverage! They wouldn't be such an issue if they included a pretty standard 'text STOP to this number' type sentence but of course they don't, and neither does it appear there's anywhere under your account settings to opt out - it's ridiculous and definitely something that will encourage me to warn people off the company.

Right, so to opt out of irritating text messages you have to go through the trouble of phoning up and going through all the menus to find the right person to contact in order to get rid of marketing that let's be honest no-one wants? Brilliant.
