How do I turn off new threaded SMS messaging in OS 5.0?

I upgraded to v5.0.0.328 but now all of my SMS & MMS messages are combined into long threads according to the incoming phone # or short code. That's all well & good if the messages were coming from separate phone #'s so they'd be in separate threads but the issue here is that Verizon Wireless uses the same short codes for many of it's own customer-set alerts from the My Verizon website. For example, my 2 daily horoscopes, my 2 daily stock alerts, & all of my sport team score alerts all get sent using short code 1111.
So now in my SMS/MMS Inbox, I only see 1 listing from 1111, but when I open the subject, I get half of my screen filled w/ the keyboard automatically & now have 45 messages all on 1 screen because they're all from 1111.
I can't find in any option menu a way to turn both the threaded functionality off & to stop having the keyboard pop automatically.
Help please!

I'm sorry I couldnt last any longer I actually downgraded back to the old OS
Heres my test.
I sent myself a text message
Received it
Sent another
Received it
If you choose delete, it will delete all messages, including the outbox.  That is one feature i do not like.  I like having the power to delete which messages I want
But thats even beside the point
So check this out
I sent myself a message
received i
sent another (#2)
received it
sent a third one
received it
yet for some odd reason it decided to send TWO more; I was like; what the heck
But besides this text message problem, my storm has frozen up on me on a few applications and then the screen goes completely black, and no matter what key i press, the system stays black, so I press and press and press and press til finally something pops up then it takes forever to log out................/sigh

    Every time I print whether a new cartridge has been installed or not, I get three pop up windows telling me the black, then the tri-color and the black again have been installed successfully. i have to click thru each one to be able to print.  How can I turn this off.

    What printer are you using?
    What OS do you have?
    Does it give a program name when it pops up, or does it just give you that message and a couple of options to choose from?

    How can I turn off the home screen preview of SMS/text messages on my new Iphone 3GS ?

    Go to Settings>Messages and choose "No" under "Show Preview" which will hide the text part of the SMS/text message but still will pop up on who its from and just says "text message" on it.
    Other than this there is not a complete way to disable the notification.

  • I was trying to make a new screen recording using quicktimeplay, but when I watched the video after recording it all I could hear was me talking while the video was showing on the screen. How do I turn off that recording and turn the right one on? thanks

    Hi j2399123,
    It sounds like your screen recording is doing what it was designed to do, capture what is happening on your screen, with optional voice over with the microphone.
    Screen recording is for recording what you see on the screen, it is not a "video capture" option, like for capturing a movie with sound that is playing on your screen.
    For the QuickTime recording options, check out "Recording with QuickTime Player" in
    Mac Basics: QuickTime Player creates, plays, edits, and shares video and audio files
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4024
    And for screen recording specifically, there's
    QuickTime Player 10.x: Record your computer’s screen

    Thank you for thinking of Apple Support Communities for your support needs.

  • How can I turn off Recently Websites when opening new Safari window? After tapping on the two overlapping boxes on the bottom right of Safari, a new blank window appears with Favorites, but now in iOS 8, recently viewed websites are listed.

    How can I turn off Recently Visited Websites when opening new Safari window?
    After tapping on the two overlapping boxes on the bottom right of Safari, a new blank window appears with Favorites, but now in iOS 8, recently viewed websites are listed. How can I turn this function off? I do NOT want my new Safari windows to have history displayed of previous websites I visited. I only want my Favorites (on the top) to be displayed. Please help.
    Thank you for your time, patience, understanding, kindness, and concern.

    Thanks for replying, but that isn't the answer I am looking for.  Also, there is no + sign, UNLESS you do tap the overlapping boxes.
    Let me try to ask my question a little more clearly:
    When I tap the two overlapping boxes on the lower left (the option to Open New Windows), the new Window that appears will show your Bookmarked FAVORITES. But with my new iPhone 6, and the new iOS 8.0.2, when I tap the two boxes to open a New Window, my Bookmark Favorites show (as they always have and should), but below them, there is a dividing line underneath them, and it says Recently Viewed Websites, and has these websites available to tap.
    So my question is, HOW DO I TURN THESE OPTION OFF?
    *UPDATE  (10.13.14): Since I have asked this question, I no longer see these Recently Viewed Websites under my Bookmarked Favorites in my new Window tabs. So I hope that Apple fixed it, or somehow it was a mistake, or somehow I changed an Option on my iPhone 6 that stopped this for reoccurring.
    Thank you for your help bobseufert! I appreciate your concern, kindness, and the time to try to help. I am grateful.
    Have a blessed day.

  • How do I turn off frequently visited in safari new tab.

    How do I turn off frequently visited in safari new tab.  Note, I still want favorites to show.  But I feel it is inappropriate for safari to track frequently visited sites.  I wish I could use private browsing more, but I hate that keychain doesn't work in private mode.  Also, why can't I turn history completely off?

    To turn on private browsing, tap Safari, then tap in the lower-right corner. Tap Private to turn private browsing on.
    Note: If you're using an iPad, tap , then Private.
    Tap again > turn off private.
