HT3529 IMessage and Group Message question

with iphone 4S if I turn off iMessage and group message and someone sends a message to me and other people, will my reply "reply all" to everyone the message was sent to? Or is it only that when I send to multiple people their responses are only sent to me?

You can send a message to multiple recipients using SMS, MMS, and iMessage.
Group messaging allows you to send messages to multiple people and have any responses delivered to everyone in the group. Group messaging works with iMessage and MMS.
If you send a message to multiple recipients without group messaging in use by the sender and all recipients, an individual message will go to each recipient using either SMS or MMS. Responses to these messages will be delivered only to the original sender in seperate messaging threads.

HT1766 how do i print or save my imessages and text messages from my phone?

how do i print or save my imessages and text messages from my iphone?

When viewing the SMS messages, hit edit. You then have the opportunity to select whatever messages are needed. Forward these to your email or wherever you wish. You then have a text transcript in the body of an email that you can cut/copy/paste into Pages/Word/etc. for printing.

My iPhone 4 will not send MMS or Group messages and the MMS and Group messages are on in the settings. Help?

I keep getting the red mark "message failed" whenever i attempt to send a picture or forward. i checked my settings and MMS and Group messaging are both on. This has happened several times. Help!!!

I've been an AT&T customer since they were under different names in the 90s and have never heard/seen that. I would check with them. I'd really like to see that error. To get a screenshot on the phone, press the home button and sleep/wake button together quickly and release. You will see the screen flash slightly and hear the camera shutter noise.

Cannot Receive Non-iMessages In Group Message

Okay,
To start, I have T-Mobile, iPhone 5S running iOS 8.1, but this has been a problem for longer than just the iOS 8 update.
I can send and receive texts, pictures, anything, from both iMessages and SMS on their own.
But when I am in a group text with people who do not have iPhones, I do not get any of their messages. Other people with iPhones in the group text get the messages fine, but I am stuck wondering.
Anybody else had this problem? Does anybody have a solution?
Thanks in advance!

Hey nickysop,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are having trouble with SMS messages from non iPhone users. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
To resolve issues sending and receiving SMS, follow these steps
Go to Settings and turn airplane mode off.
Make sure that you have a cellular network signal in the status bar of your iPhone. If there's no signal, learn more about troubleshooting no service.
Restart your iPhone.
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
Remove your SIM card and insert it again.
If you still can't send or receive SMS, follow these steps
Make sure that the contact who's trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
Make sure that you're using the area code with the contact's phone number. When sending messages internationally, you also need to use the contact's international code.
If you're using a "Pay as you go" SMS plan, make sure it has enough available balance. Contact your carrier if you're unsure of your SMS plan or the available balance.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact from the Contacts app. Send a new message to the contact.
Back up and restore your iPhone as new.
If your carrier has recently ported your phone number, the porting process might not be complete. Contact your carrier to confirm that the porting process is complete.
Contact your carrier to confirm that you're provisioned for sending SMS and are in an area with cellular coverage.
Contact your carrier to verify there are no blocks or filters placed on your wireless account preventing you from sending SMS.

HT3529 iMessage and FaceTime

Hi, I tried signing in iMessage and FaceTime but it kept asking me to check my Internet connection. In fact I'm sending this question using iPad so definitely I have Internet connection so is this a software issue or a network one? I have restored my iPad once already. What more can I do to make things work? Thanks.

There are a couple of suggestions that worked for users in this discussion.

You can try rebooting your router as well - I know that your Internet connection is fine but sometimes that helps.

Group messaging question...

My friends and I are testing the Group Messaging features in iMessage (iphone and ipad). We both have Group Messaging off, but when I send a message to two other iMessage users, it goes out as a Group Message. They both are on their iphones and can see each other's phone number. However, they can only see my messages, not each other's replies.
I would think with Group Messaging off, they should not be able to see each other's phone numbers. In other words, my text to multiple people should appear to them as an individual text messages sent just to them. Is this a flaw?

Sure. You can use this link to provide Apple feedback, which ensures that your feedback is forwarded to and read by the appropriate Apple personnel, but this doesn't mean what you request will be implemented anytime soon if ever. You are certainly not the first person who has requested this, and you probably won't be the last. I have used the feedback link for this primarily for the Mail client.

IPhone 5 lagging and group messages.

i got my iphone the day it came out and it has been lagging and even freezing on me. when i scroll through my pages and sometimes exit an app it slows down and even stops working sometimes. i also have a problem with my group messages. i get my notifications 30 seconds after the message comes in. its very annoying because ill be in my imessage app and the notification pops up after i have already responded to the message. any help or tips please? i dont have too many apps and i have around 6 GB of space left so i dont have too much stuff. and i dont have apps running in the backgroup when this stuff happens. im on AT&T if that helps. anything i can do please help.

I'm having a similar problem with my iPhone 4S! My 4S would lag horribly when I'm being bombarded with text message in the Group Message. It has gotten to points where the phone would freeze for a good 5 seconds. I'm extremely upset, this problem has never occured before and the 4S is supposed to still be able to keep up as of speed. I'm not sure if this was is a software issue or not, but I hope it is just an iOS6 issue that can be patched. I didn't have this problem when I was on iOS5. I also didn't spend $700 on a phone that's supposedly the fastest iPhone as little as a year ago, and now it's lagging like it's 2 generations behind.
Please, can someone help.

WLS Users and Groups interface questions / observations

I'm new to WLS, having just installed OBIEE 11g for the first time. There are some oddities in WLS around setting up Users that I'd like to ask about, to see if I'm just missing something, or if the interface really IS this bad. Please feel free to comment in any way, or to correct any statements that are erroneous. Here goes:
1. The use of Previous and Next buttons instead of a vertical scroll bar for finding users and groups in their respective lists. What if you have several hundred users, and the one you want to modify starts with the letter 'Z'? That means clicking the Next button several dozen times. (Security Realms … myrealm … Users and Groups … Users) Not only is there no scroll bar, there's no search box either. The only way to get to a user near the end of the alphabetical listing is the Next button. Is that correct?
2. After adding a new user, what's the next most logical thing to want to do? How about assigning that user to Groups? So why do I have to click Next several times to find that new user in the alphabetical list? I don't see a sortable 'Date Modified' field for the table of users, nor a link to the "Most Recently Added" user. Nor can I assign groups during the same action as creating the user. In the example in #1, I might have to click Next several dozen times to get to the user I just added. Is that correct?
3. When creating a new User, immediately after clicking New, where is the most likely place that I'd want to go? How about the Name field? Right now, the cursor rests in some indeterminate location. I have to hit the Tab key 14 times, or move the mouse into the Name box and click it. The active cursor position does not default to the Name box when creating a new user. Is that correct?
4. I don't see a 'Create Like' button for creating Users, so that existing group membership can be easily replicated. I'd like to be able to add a new employee by clicking to highlight an existing user from the same department, clicking a 'Create Like' button, then entering a new user name and password, with all group memberships assigned automatically based on the source user. The same could be said for replicating groups. I don't think that exists. Is that correct?
5. I don't see a clean way to return to the User list on the page on which I clicked a user name. Imagine that I'm going through my entire list of users one at a time to set an attribute. I click on the user JSMITH and set the attribute. The only way to get back to JSMITH's page and select the next user list is to hit the browser's back button three times, or to click the Users and Groups breadcrumb at the top of the screen and use the Next link multiple times to find that page again. Is that correct?
6. I don't see a way to bring up a Group and assign Users to it from a list. It appears that the only way to assign a User to a Group is to access a User profile and click Groups. If we're creating a new group that has 200 users selected from a list of 500 users, that could potentially represent somewhere between 5000 and 10000 mouse clicks. It would be much more efficient to be able to bring up a group, then select its members from a list of users. That does not appear to be possible. Is that correct?
7. It also appears that when assigning groups for Users, the list of Available Parent Groups sorts the lowercase entries after all uppercase entries, so that groups that start with the letter 'a' fall after groups that start with 'Z'. That is not the case with the list of users. The User table uses a case-insensitive sort. Is that correct?
8. When I want to delete more than one User, and the ones that I want to delete are on different pages, there appears to be no way to select those users from multiple pages at the same time. So, imagine that I have 500 users, and I want to delete two users, one of whom is listed on page 48, and the other on page 50. I would have to click the Next button 47 times to find the first user and delete it. At that point, the interface returns to page 1, and I have to click the Next button 49 times to reach the second user. Is that correct?

Hi,
Regarding your first question, you might want to press the "Customize this table" button, then select the maximum allowed amount of rows in "Number of rows displayed per page:" that would resolve some of the problems you're having with the interface. I do think this is not a great graphical tool, and there are some usability issues.
Regarding the adding of users to groups, it seems the way you describe is the only way of doing it, however you could try using a script instead of the graphical console, the easiest way of making it is adding a user to a group while using the "Record" button on the top of the screen to get a wlst script to use as a model, then create a new script with all new users you want to add/modify.
Regards,
Franco.

Why are my imessages and text messages in a different chat when im texting one person?

when i am texting my friend and my message sends as a text everything is fine but when she replies with an imessage it goes into a different chat so i have to keep changing chats to reply depending on whether the message is an imessage or text message, how do i make it so they are in one chat?

Greetings Tiffany,
It sounds as though you are receiving iMessages from your friend yet she is receiving SMS text messages from you rather than iMessages, and this is causing your conversations to appear as two separate items in the Messages application, is that correct?
I would suggest following the steps in this article to troubleshoot this issue, so that what you send is sent as an iMessage -

Why can't I send picture messages and group messages with MMS?

Picture messages fail to certain people with invalid destination address. Then the group messages won't send unless I send them as individual texts. Very frustrating.

I can not send MMMS messages (group texts, pics, videos). It doesn't matter if I am on wi-fi, 3g, 4g LTE. It does not send!!! And I am getting ******. Help Verizon!!

New Ipad and group messaging

Hi All.
I recieved a new Ipad for Christmas... I am using an I phone 4 (software is up to date). I finally got my iphone number to appear on my ipad so I could receive the messages coming to my iphone.
Issue: I can receive messages from individuals but not from a group message? Phone is set to "ON" for Group messaging... no place to set that on the new IPad. Help?
Thanks

Also... both phone and Ipad are 6.0.1 (10A523)

My iphone 5 will send iMessage and mms messages, but not sms messages. Help!

I have already reset network settings, reset all settings, hard reset and even erased and restored my phone and it won't send sms messages. Only iMessage and mms. I don't know what to do

1. This is the iPad forum. The iPhone forum is here: https://discussions.apple.com/community/iphone/using_iphone
The Hosts will likely move the thread there shortly however.
2. Phone and text service does not rerquire internet. Its a separate service to the Data access for internet.
Do you have Mobile/Cellular Data turned on in Settings->Cellular/Mobile?
Have you talked to straight talk? Your Data allowance may have been exceeded on your plan.
