How did my iPhone auto reply to a message with "Who is this"?

My iPhone4S auto responded to text messages today. I didn't touch the phone and yet it replied "Who is this" three different times to incoming text messages. When one person texted back their name, it auto responded "Jason who". How is this possible? I was with another person in a meeting and they saw the phone (seemingly) do this on its own as well so I know I'm not crazy. Hope someone has heard of this. Thanks.

This could happen if someone else is using the same Apple ID for iMessage. When you do this you end up getting each other's messages. The other person's device may have received a message meant for you, then responded asking who it was, and you received the response making it appear that the response was "automatically" sent from your phone.

It sounds as if you downloaded Adobe Acrobat Pro. If you did, uninstall it. Then repair Adobe Reader.
The free Acrobat account has no connection to any of this.

Hi lfeddrix,
You can send and receive Messages from the Apple IDs and phone numbers signed in to your iMessage section in the settings of your phone. We have an article that explains a little bit about this, and it can be found here:
iOS: Using Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3529
This section is the most appropriate for your situation:
You can change the address that new iMessage conversations are started with in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Start new conversations from:. Note that this setting applies only to new conversations. If you would like to change the address from which messages are sent, first change this setting, and then delete the existing conversation and start a new one.
iMessage responses will be sent from the address the recipient most recently messaged. For example, a friend sends you a message to your Apple ID. Responses in this conversation will be sent from your Apple ID, even if you've selected new conversations to start from your phone number.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

Where did the iPhone Calendar list function(s) go with iOS7? The Calendar has gone all 'spread sheet' on me and definitely not user friendly. Please advise.

Where did the iPhone Calendar list function(s) go with iOS7? The Calendar has gone all 'spread sheet' on me. If you select an item (grey dot) from the month display it will open up the 'spread sheet' at the current time of day, not necessarily when the calendar entry takes place. I liked iOS6 where you could turn your iPhone to landscape mode and get that special 'spread sheet' feel if that's what you're into. Has a 'List' presentation been removed from the iPhone Calendar with iOS7?

The List view is displayed by tapping the Search magnifying glass.

My iPhone 5 got problem when connect with lighting cable, this will keep pop up message "this accessory may not be supported"

My iPhone 5 got problem when connect with lighting cable, this will keep pop up message "this accessory may not be supported", I can't charge or sync at all. I tried plug and unplug many time, still can't detect/charge my iPhone5, but sometime will 'lucky' that can connect to my iTunes and charge battery…
This message will auto pop up also when I don't have plug anything in my iPhone 5, It is very annoying…
The lighting cable is original and now i'm using OS 7.0.4 / iTunes is 11.1.3
What I can do to fix this problem? Thank you.

I would try using another cable you can likely borrow one to test from somebody
if it's the same then likely the connector in your iphone have been damaged

How to stop sending Auto Reply when I am only BCC'ed

Hi, I am working as software developer. I am in charge of the maintenance tasks of some of our company's sites. Most of those sites are sending email notifications once a transaction/ticket is created. I have put my email address to the BCC in those email
notifications so whenever there is an issue i have a copy of the email notification. My question is i will be out of office for some days and i need to setup an auto reply, how can i setup a rule which the OoO is being sent only when I am in the "TO"
and "CC"? I don't need to send an OoO when i am only BCC'ed. Thanks

In this case i won't enable Automatic Replies (Out of Office) as it will respond even when our name is in To or Cc or Bcc
I have created a rule where it will auto reply only when my name is in To or Cc
In Outlook, click on Tools | Rules and Alerts
Click New Rule
Select the radio option, Start from a Blank Rule
Ensure the option, 'Check messages when they arrive' and click NEXT
Select the option, 'where my name is in the To or Cc box'
Click NEXT
Select the option, 'have server reply using a specific message'
In the bottom section of the Rule wizard, "Step 2: Edit the rule description", click on the link 'a specific message'
An "untitled message' window opens, enter an appropriate subject, for example, Automatic Reply: Out Of Office, and enter appropriate text in the message body type
Thanks for the email. I am currently Out of Office. I don’t have access to my emails.
Click 'Save and Close' button
Click 'NEXT'
Click 'NEXT'
Enter a name for the Rule in the field 'Step 1: Specify a name for this rule'
Click 'Finish'
Sender who sends email when you enable the rule will get a response like the below:

The one to the right is "Users and Preferences". Click on that, and it will open a page with Basic and Email settings. Click on Email settings, and look down the page to "Auto Reply". Click on the greyed out button to the right to turn it on and then follow the prompts.

AppleScript for Auto Reply to an email with an Attachment????

Forgive me. All this applescript stuff is fairly new to me. I've set up my Entourage email to automatically reply to certain rules that I have created. Well, I'm trying to have an attachment added to those auto replied emails. How can this be done? I'v researched for days and can only find stuff concerning Outlook Express which you are apparently given an option to add an attachment other than the mere text reply. Any info would be great!
Thanks much,
Robert

try this Robert, works here for me using Entourage 11.3.3
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set theOrigionalMessage to the current messages
end tell
repeat with theMsg in theOrigionalMessage
my ProcessMsg(theMsg)
end repeat
on ProcessMsg(theMsg)
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
activate
set theSender to sender's address of theMsg
set theSubject to "Heres your attachment"
set theBody to "test"
set _Attachment to "Macintosh HD:Users:Budgie:Desktop:TEST.txt" as alias
set MyReply to make new outgoing message with properties {recipient:theSender, subject:"Hello: " & theSubject, content:theBody}
make new attachment at MyReply with properties {file:_Attachment}
open MyReply --comment out if you dont need to view
--send MyReply -- un comment to send without viewing
end tell
end ProcessMsg
