How to force SMS in Yosemite?

How can you force Yosemite to send a SMS message instead of an iMessage? Especially since I have some of my contacts, that don't have data, switch between sending iMessages and SMS messages. I know I can do that with my phone by touching and holding the message till the option appears and I was wondering if there was something similar for Yosemite.

Hi,
No.
Messages still thinks it is an iMessages. It is the paring with the iPhone that makes it an SMS message.

  • How to force recieving SMS (and not iMessages) when Phone is offline, with iPads onlines

    Hello,
    I've got a peticular problem on a peticular configuration...
    At home, on wifi, I use my iPad to write iMessages on the large screened-keyboard. iMessages are sent back to both my iPad, but to my iPhone too (that I've always on my pocket so use to read the messages I've recieved; I usually don't use the iPad to read them as not always using it...).
    But on my iPhone, I don't want to use the cellular data. So when I go out, my phone send SMS to others (as offline); no problem there.
    But others are sending iMessages to me as my iPads are online! And I've got the messages only once I'm back on wifi X-C!!!
    Is there a way to have all the advantages? A way to do as if iPads were offline once my iPhone is (as if the phone were the "master" and the tablet the "slave"), and that would force SMS to be sent to me as my iPhone is offline even if my iPad are online?
    Up by now I turn the wifi off once I go out, but it's boring and sometimes I do forget and miss important messages...
    Thx in advance for your help :-D

    I don't keep the phone plugged in and it's literally just sitting there, not doing anything. I don't use anything like Pandora that would keep the Wi-Fi. I do everything at home like I do at work.
    - Cellular data off
    - Wi-Fi on
    - Not plugged in
    - Leave it alone on the desk
    When I get an email in Outlook, the phone instantly vibrates, sometimes before it even shows up in Outlook. At home, it's just dead.
    I guess I could reword my question a bit. If the behavior I'm experiencing at home is normal, then logically, the behavior I'm experiencing at work is abnormal. So then, does anyone know about wireless networks who might know what's causing this? I don't imagine I'll be able to replicate it at home since the gear I use at work is a lot fancier. I'm an IT professional and I know quite a bit about networking, but I'm very ignorant of wireless technology.
    Since I don't have data service on my current service plan, Wi-Fi is my only avenue for accessing the Internet. It certainly make sense that a signal would come from the cellular network and wake Wi-Fi up to get the rest of the data, so thanks for shedding light on that.

  • How to force refresh of data through browser or PDF?

    We have the dashboard set to refresh every minute.  We are pulling the data using XML from DB.  When we are in browser and clear the browser cache and then reload the .swf... the data is updated.  We haven't been able to figure out how to force the cache-clear and data refresh with either swf or pdf.
    Your help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi Jeff,
    Is the XML coming from a web page or a web server?
    If yes then you can give this a go. To stop the caching mark your web page with extra tags to say it has expired.
    HTML page example:
    <HEAD>
        < META HTTP-EQUIV="PRAGMA" CONTENT="NO-CACHE" />
        < META HTTP-EQUIV="EXPIRES" CONTENT="0" />
    </HEAD>
    JSP example:
    <%
      // Stop Internet Explorer from caching the results of this page.
      // We do this so that every time Xcelsius calls this page it see the latest results.
      response.setHeader("Cache-Control","no-cache"); //HTTP 1.1
      response.setHeader("Pragma","no-cache"); //HTTP 1.0
      response.setDateHeader ("Expires", 0); //prevents caching at the proxy server 
    %>

    I made a bootable disc on an external hard drive, with Yosemite on it.  I am running Snow Leopard on my iMac.  How can I open the Yosemite disc from the desktop on my iMac?  Does the external hard drive need to be connected to my iMac by firewire to do that?

    Snow Leopard's Startup Disk pref can’t see Yosemite volumes. So the only way to switch from Snow Leopard to Yosemite is to do what Niel mentioned. Doesn't matter whether it's connected by USB or Firewire, although performance via FW would be faster.
    Are you saying that Yos/10.10, as a volume located in a mounted external drive won't appear as an option in Snow Leopard's Startup Disc, in Sys Prefs? I've never heard this one before. AFAIK any mounted volume, regardless of OS, should appear there. I would think that, if it appears in the Boot Picker/Startup Manager it would also appear and could be booted to from Snow's Startup Disk. I can't test this myself, since I don't have Yos. Is what you are saying documented somewhere?

  • How to force a new password in portal with LDAP user? external users

    With an external portal (used by agents that do not work for you or reside in your office), company policy is for password to be changed every qtr.
    If the users are creating as LDAP users how to force them to change their password when required?
    Is this a custom application that needs to be written so when they log into the portal if the qtr has expired the portal ask them to enter a new password that becomes valid for the next qtr.
    Versus internally deleting and emailing all the users a new password?

    Hi Glenn,
    We are getting one problem when we are creating user in LDAP and login with that user in  Portal that time we are getting Password change screen , but when we create a user in LDAP and change the password of that user in LDAP then when the user tries to  Login to portal that time we are not able to see the password change screen.
    But again if we change the password of that user through Portal we are able to see change password screen.
    can you help on this how we can force the user to change password when we are changing password in LDAP or in SAP System.

  • How to force the "Bluetooth Communicat​ions Port" to be one of COM1 to COM8 ports?

    Dear Lenovo Community, Happy Holidays to you all and wish you a great happy new year. Recently purchased a Bluetooth OBDII device and have difficulty making it to work with its provided software on my T61 (running original XP Home). My short story and question/problem is that I can open "My Bluetooth Places" and pair with the OBDII device as an "OBDII SPP Dev", but my T61 assigns serial port COM19 to it. The OBDII software which came with the device only can let user set to one of the COM1 to COM8 ports and in the properties of Bluetooth pairing, there is no way that I can select which COM port to use. I looked at the Device Manager and I do see these COM port assignments: COM4,5,6,7: Sierra Wireless (the HSDA modem in the laptop which I have never used BTW) COM 9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17: Bluetooth Serial Port COM 18, 19: Bluetooth Communications Port and I don't see anything for COM1,2,3, and 8 My question is how to force the computer/OS to assign one of the COM1 to COM8 ports to my device upon pairing? Can I disable the Sierra Wireless model from the COM ports list and hope this will happen? Thanks for your help and inputs beforehand. Regards, AL

    Hi, AL_K
    Have you attempted to change the port number in device manager itself? If you navigate to Device Manager and open the list of Ports, you can right-click on the device you wish to assign a different port number. After right-clicking, click Properties. There should be a tab called Port Settings. In here, you should find a setting to manually assign a port number.
    Good luck, and let me know how it goes,
    Adam

  • How do I permanently prevent Yosemite installing on my Mac?

    I accidentally clicked on Install All in the App Store when I did not mean to update from Snow Leopard to Yosemite.
    I immediately hit Pause to stop it getting any further but am concerned it may continue the installation when I restart, which I absolutely do not want!
    Is there a method to uncheck the Install option in the App Store?
    I am running Yosemite from an external hard drive but do not want it on my internal hard drive.

    If you let the Yosemite installer finish downloading, it will automatically start, HOWEVER, it will put up dialog boxes that give you a chance to Quit the installation.
    You can then keep the installation in your Applications folder for a future use.
    NOTE:  I ALWAYS download the Major releases and Quit soon after they are released (Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks, and Yosemite).  Apple has a tendency to remove the previous version one they make a major new release.  If I have my own copy, I can decide to upgrade to any intermediate version and not be forced to go to the latest.  And since I already download each release, they are all listed in my App Store Purchases and are available for re-download.  If you do not download a copy, and at a later date you decide you want to upgrade to that copy and not the latest and greatest, you will be out of luck, as you will not have a local copy and your purchase history will not list the release for re-download.
    My advice is to download and Quit.  Copy the Installer from the Applications folder to a safe place and be happy in the knowledge you have options in the future that you would have lost otherwise.
    The bottom line is that you will not be forced to complete the installation.  You will have an opportunity to quit before the installation really gets going.
    If the suggestions from Eric Root and sean.wells work, then just file this bit of trivia away for future reference.
    This is very good advice. You will not be forced to install Yosemite, since you can just Quit rather than click on the "Continue" button that you see when the installer lunches. But having a copy of the installer stored for future use is a good idea. If you are chronically short of disk space, consider backing up to an external drive.

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard is still seeing my old scanner install.  How to force it to see new scanner install.

    Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard is still seeing my old scanner install.  How to force it to see new scanner install?  Scanner is recognized by and works fine in Windows.  Acrobat however still sees Fujitsu fi-6130dj #3.  I need it to see Fujitsu fi-6130dj which is what is listed in Device Manager.  (Windows XP SP3).
    Thank you for any suggestions.

    To provide more detail and list what was done to resolve the issue but there may be a better way.
    Background.  When you install a USB device to a PC it is listed in Windows Device Manager as installed hardware.  If you take the USB plug for any device and plug it into a different USB port on the PC the PC will install drivers again for that device.  In Device Manager, if you set a system environment variable for device manager to show non-present devices you can see all of the times this may have occurred.  In this specific instance there were five installations in Device Manager for one piece of hardware, a Fujitsu fi-6130 scanner.  The first listing was Fujitsu fi-6130dj, then Fujitsu fi-6130dj #2, Fujitsu fi-6130dj #3 and so on.  Adobe Acrobat only saw the third instance of these drivers being installed.  Once I cleaned Device Manager of all Fujitsu scanner installs I was able to have a single set of drivers installed for this Fujitsu but Adobe still recognized the third instance of the driver install and I could not figure out how to force it to see what Device Manager was seeing, a single instance of the scanner being installed (with no #3 behind it).
    Steps performed to try to resolve.
    Repair install of Adobe - no luck - still sees the #3 instance of the scanner
    Deactivation, uninstall, reboot, reinstall, reactivation of Adobe - no luck, same behavior as above
    Complete removal of all scanner related software.  This included the ISIS drivers in Add/Remove Programs and all other related software.  This also included deleting the contents of the TWAIN_32 directory found within the root of the Windows directory and also included deleting the scanner from Device Manager.
    Rebooted.
    Reinstalled complete packages of both TWAIN and ISIS scanners - with the scanner disconnected.  Powered the scanner back on and let Windows install the drivers for the hardware.  Only at this point did Adobe see the new install of the Fujitsu scanner and no longer looked for the #3 instance of that scanner install.

  • How to force using the adobe reader to view the PDF by javascript / PHP / HTML?

    I use the standard way to embed a pdf to my website, however, when I open it the browser will choose the default pdf viewer instead of the adobe reader. I can change it manually by looking at the browser option but it would not be nice if the website visitor need to do this manually. So I would like to know how to force the browser to open the PDF in adobe by using some HTML header / javascript / php or any parameter in object tag. Thanks.
    <object id = 'zoomPage' type='application/pdf' data= '" + sourceFolder + "SingTao/2013/08/17/0/0/A/Content/pdf/pdf_" + currZoomPageNo + ".pdf#toolbar=1&navpanes=0&statusbar=0&messages=0&pagemode=read'><p>The PDF can not display</p></object>

    I know this problem related to the browser behaviour so I would target only :Chrome firefox and IE 9+ (it is ideal if IE8 can also adopt the solution) thanks

  • My iMac has OS X 10.5.8.  How do I upgrade to  Yosemite?

    My 2008 iMac has OS X 10.5.8.  How do I upgrade to Yosemite so I can upgrade my browser(s)?

    First the computer has to have a minimum of 4GB of RAM (6GB is highly recommended) . You can get a 6GB RAM kit by clicking here,
    Once you have upgraded the RAM, then you will need to buy Snow Leopard, that is available by clicking here
    After installing Snow Leopard run Software Update until no additional updates are required. Then open the Mac App Store and download Yosemite.
    NOTE: Before you do ANYTHING backup your computer and make sure it is running perfectly before doing ANY updates or upgrades. Also make sure all  your applications are up-to-date. You may have some legacy apps that will not run on Yosemite so check before upgrading so you can take the appropriate steps, i.e. upgrade or replacing them.

  • How to force my Web part to run regardless of users permissions

    I have created the following custom permission , which will allow users to Create items without being able to view,edit them:-
    $spweb=Get-SPWeb -Identity "http://vstg01";
    $spRoleDefinition = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPRoleDefinition;
    $spRoleDefinition.Name = "Submit only";
    $spRoleDefinition.Description = "Can submit/add forms/files/items into library or list but cannot view/edit them.";
    $spRoleDefinition.BasePermissions = "AddListItems, ViewPages, ViewFormPages, Open";
    $spweb.RoleDefinitions.Add($spRoleDefinition);
    $spweb.Dispose();
    then inside my "Issue Tracking List" i stop inheriting permission from team site , and i define the following permission for all users:-
    now users can add items and they can not view them ,, which is perfect :).
    But now i wanted to add a custom web part to my Create form which will hide certain fields if the user is not within specific group ,the web part looks as follow:-
    protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
    base.OnInit(e);
    InitializeControl();
    using (SPSite site = new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Site.Url))
    using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
    web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
    SPGroup group = web.Groups["Intranet Visitors"];
    bool isUser = web.IsCurrentUserMemberOfGroup(group.ID);
    if (!isUser)
    SPList myList = web.Lists.TryGetList("Issue List");
    SPField titleField = myList.Fields.GetField("Category");
    titleField.Hidden = true;
    titleField.ShowInEditForm = false;
    titleField.ShowInNewForm = false;
    titleField.ShowInDisplayForm = false;
    titleField.Update();
    myList.Update();
    // web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;
    else
    SPList myList = web.Lists.TryGetList("Issue List");
    SPField titleField = myList.Fields.GetField("Title");
    titleField.Hidden = false;
    titleField.Update();
    myList.Update();
    // //web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;
    web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;
    then i deploy the web part and i add it to the Create form. but after doing so user are not able to create items and they will get the following error:-
    Sorry this site has not been shared with you
    so can anyone advice how to force my web part to run , without checking the users permissions or with minimal permssions ?

    in this case, use the elevated privileges to read/add/edit items with elevated privileges with below code.
    but make sure the page which you add this web part have at least read access to all user.
    SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
    using (SPSite site = new SPSite(web.Site.ID))
    // implementation details omitted
    More: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.spsecurity.runwithelevatedprivileges.aspx
    Bistesh
    Ok after adding :-
    SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
    users with the following permissions can create items:-
    "AddListItems, ViewPages, ViewFormPages, Open";
    and they can not edit/read them, which is great. but i am facing a caching problem , because if user is inside the "Intranet visitor" he will be able to see Category field as mentioned in my code, but if i remove him from the "Intranet Visitor"
    he still can see the field,, although in the web part i specify not to display the Category column if the user is not inside the "Intranet visitor " group... here is my current code:-
    protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
    base.OnInit(e);
    InitializeControl();
    SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
    using (SPSite site = new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Site.Url))
    using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
    web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
    SPGroup group = web.Groups["Intranet Visitor"];
    bool isUser = web.IsCurrentUserMemberOfGroup(group.ID);
    if (!isUser)
    SPList myList = web.Lists.TryGetList("Risk & Issue Management");
    SPField titleField = myList.Fields.GetField("Category");
    titleField.Hidden = true;
    titleField.ShowInEditForm = false;
    titleField.ShowInNewForm = false;
    titleField.ShowInDisplayForm = false;
    titleField.Update();
    myList.Update();
    // web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;
    else
    SPList myList = web.Lists.TryGetList("Risk & Issue Management");
    SPField titleField = myList.Fields.GetField("Category");
    titleField.Hidden = false;
    titleField.ShowInEditForm = true;
    titleField.ShowInNewForm = true;
    titleField.ShowInDisplayForm = true;
    titleField.Update();
    myList.Update();
    web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;
    so can you advice please ? is this a caching problem, or once the user add at-least single item he will be able to see all columns ?

  • How to force CoreDump in the Kernel source code

    Hi,
    Anyone know, how to force coredump in the Kernel source code?. And also to collect all information related to CPU Registers, CPU IRAM, Cache Data and complete SDRAM content.

    pull your RAM out....
    Wouldn't recommend doing that really...... And why would you want to cause a kernel panic?

  • How to force digital input sample rate?

    Does anyone know how to force a Digital Input sample rate and/or tell Core Audio which conversion clock to use... internal or external? Apparently both things can be done from Pro Tools, but I don't have it.  My problem is locking onto an A/D converter's 48K Toslink output.  I can set 48K in 'Audio - Midi' setup and the audio is perfect, but a few seconds later  Core Audio returns to the default 44.1K.  I need to force it to stay at 48K, or clock on the signal rather than internal clock.

    Braver,
    Let me clarify a few things. First, the 6733 supports correlated digital I/O. This means that the digital operation does not have its own clock. You can correlate the digital operation with the AO clock, which will allow a digital operation up to the max AO rate. You can generate a pulse train with an onboard counter and use that as your digital clock source. Also, you can use a completely external clock source to achieve the max digital rate of 10MHz. The knowledge base, linked below, points you to a couple of examples that ship with LabVIEW. Be sure and read the documentation associated with each example.
