    Is anybody seeing multiple devices when turning on "Text Message Forwarding" (Continuity for SMS) in iOS 8.1?

    This was a keychain issue for me...  Working now….
    You may want to make a back up before deleting those entries just incase…
    This is the entry to look for in Keychain Access "com.apple.ids: localdevice-AuthToken” delete all entries with that listed. But not yet…
    Step by step:
    • Create new admin users on any Mac or Mac(s)
    • Sign out of the Messages app (sign out of your Apple ID / Messages) on your iPhone
    • Then sign into the new, admin-test user account(s) on your Mac(s)
    • From there, sign into iMessage in Messages (sign in to your Apple ID in Messages) on your Mac(s)
    • Sign in to the Messages app on your iPhone (sign in to your Apple ID in Messages on your iPhone)
    • Then on the iPhone, for the first Mac, see if you get the hand shake with a confirmation code
    • If so, sign in on the other Mac(s) and see if it pops up as well…. Good so far? Proceed
    • If both work then log out of the Mac(s) test account(s) and back in to your main account(s)
    • Sign out of the iPhone and iMessage in both accounts. Main and Test accounts, Mac(s) and iPhone
    • Now, delete the entries in keychain in both user accounts, test and your normal user account(s)
    • Reboot the Mac(s) and iPhone…
    • Now, sign into the iPhone Messages account with your Apple ID
    • Lastly, sign into iMessage in Messages (sign in to your Apple ID in Messages) on your Mac(s)
    You should be good to go :-)

  • Multiple vibrations when receiving a text message

    I recently switched from a Motorola phone to an iPhone 3GS and it seems that the iPhone only vibrates 1 time when I receive a text message. I don't often feel the phone vibrate in these instances. Is there a way to change the settings on the phone so it will vibrate multiple times when I receive a text?

    You can't change the setting. However, if you don't open the text it will vibrate again a few minutes later.

  • How Do I turn off Text message on my MacBook Air

    My MacBook Air, my husband's Macbook Pro, and my Iphone4 are all linked and therefore my husband sees all my text. The problem is an educator I may be discussing something confidential, therefore how do I unlink his mac from my iphone. We do share the same Apple account...

    Hi there Zorro1960,
    You should be able to prevent your messages from going to your computer, by removing your phone number from iMessages and turning off Text Message Forwarding using these instructions. They are about turning on these features but you should turn them off instead:
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address.
    Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • When typing a text message my iPhone 4 now speaks some of the words as I type.  Where did this feature come from and how do I turn it off?

  • Have option to turn off text message pop up window.

    I would like to see the IPhone enhanced to allow the option to turn the text message pop up window on or off.
    There are times when I don't want my text message to pop up for privacy reasons; such as if someone else is using my phone or I have my phone out and people sitting nearby and can read the message. Since the ring tone is so poor on the phone, when I am out I have to put my phone on the table so I can hear it ring.
    With the text message pop up window turned off, I would still like to hear the alert sound (separate feature) and have the number display by SMS box as it currently does.
    This is a very important privacy issue and I appreciate Apple's consideration on this very important enhancement. I called Apple Customer Support and they told me to post my request here for consideration.

    Tell Apple. We are iphone users like you.

  • Turning off text messaging

    How do I turn off text messaging to my Comcast phone number? The xfinity app, in Text Settings, subscriptions options, teases you to think you can do it, but all it does is confirm that text messaging is active. This looks like a bug.  I have wasted far too much time navigating the web site(s) and from my mobile devices via the app, account settings, etc, etc. Very frustrating. 

    Comcast/XFINITY,I agree.  As a customer I would like the opportunity to turn off this feature.  I don't use it and it perpetuates the notion that someone is communicating with me (passively?) when they are in fact not.  It is generally accepted and well known that mobile phones are text capable and we use them accordingly.  Text capability on a land line is not needed.  It provides yet one more communication channel that I am forced(?) to check--because Comcast is imposing their will on me.  I need fewer and more efficient communication tools. . .not more.

  • HT3529 how do i see the time i sent a text message?

    Does anyone know how I see the time next to my text messages?

    Time stamps are underneath the messages, not next to them. There's no way to change that.
    You'll see the time stamp for an initial message. After that, you'll only see a time stamp about every 15 minutes. However, when I archive my text messages using PhoneView, I can see a stamp next to each one.
    PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):

  • What are all the reasons why imessages turn into text messages...such as the recipient is talking on the phone, etc.?

    what are all the reasons why imessages turn into text messages...such as the recipient is talking on the phone, etc.?

    Hi,
    What's the worst that I've spent 100 Eur alltogether for GPS map based applications for several sports - golf, bike, ski, etc. These applications use data from iPhone Map application and its disaster after my update onto iOS 6. These are pictures of 2 of my favorit golf resorts:
    And here one example from a place where I use to bike:
    Very nice, isn't it?
    And unfortunately this problem won't disappear even when Google put stand alone map application into iStore.
    So I have only way to downgrade to 5.1.1 immediately to not throw away money I already spent.

  • Is there a way to turn off text messaging while you listen to songs/videos?

    I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a way to temporarily turn off text messaging while you are listening to a song or video? I find it very annoying that if I let someone listen to the videos on my phone - that while they are doing that and a text comes in - it shows up right on the phone for them to read it. This did not play out too well when my girlfriend was listening to it yesterday.(keep all smart comments to a minimum please, lol). Can you turn off texting while you listen and then turn it back on when you finish? Please say yes... Thanks

    Nathan, thanks for that info....I appreciate that. That makes a lot of sense (what you said about airplane mode) and seems to be a good feature. I had been told a couple of times by airline personnel to please turn off my phone.
    This seems to be the answer I was looking for. I just hope that it will still play in my car. I was finally able to find a Belkin Cable to connect it to to hear music. I have an auxillary port for it. That is where & when the trouble lies. When I am listening to the ipod portion - watching a video - and hearing the music come from my speakers in the car. All of a sudden, a text comes through and you can read it & it asks where you want to 'view' or 'ignore'. I'm gonna test it...

  • HT1688 why are my imessages now turning into text messages all the time?

    Why are my iMessages now turning into text messages all the time?

    There are a number of reasons why they may be sent as regular sms and not iMessages. If either party is in an area with poor reception and the the data network is struggling, the regular sms messages will be sent to the recipient. iMessage can be switched off at a users convienince, your recipients may have iMessage turned off when you've sent those messages.
    There are instances where the iMessage server is not responding due to techinical issues (although, few and far between)

  • Is there a way to not display my name when I send text messages?

    Is my name even sent when I send text messages?  If so, is there a way to not display my name when I send text messages?  When sending a text message, I would like to only display my phone number.

    is it possible for the sender not to have my name in there contacts... and just typed my number?..
    It is possible for the recipent not to have your name for your number in their address book for your contact info, but the recipent must do that.
    So does that mean just my number will show when i send a text to the person using an android  phone?
    If the recipient does not have your name with your phone number in their address book for your contact info.
    Have you ever received a text from a phone number that is not in your address book? If so, what do you see? You should see the phone number only. The same applies for someone you are sending a text to.
