I have a new iPhone 4S, have noticed when texting some of my contacts with iPhones that my text sends on imessage and the text duplicates itself.  how do i stop this from happening?

I have a new iPhone 4S and have noticed that when I text a friend with an iPhone it automatically send the message via imessage and sends the text twice, how can I stop this from happening?

Your phone is setup from default with iMessage turned on. Your friends phone obviously isn't. I have a friend that has an iPhone 3G[S] with an old phone plan that didn't require a data package and he's just been swapping the sim card for 5 years. When he's at home, his phone is on wifi and it sends over iMessage. When he's at work on 3G the phone defaults back to text message because he doesn't have a data plan to send iMessage over. The phone isn't actually sending 2 messages. You send in iMessage and if the other phone is off of iMessage, it will resend to that phone as a green text message. That person never got the blue iMessage you tried to send because their iMessage wasn't working.

  • Whenever i turn on my macbook pro ,, mac office , powerpoint and excel starts up itself , how can i stop this from happening?

    how can stop this from turning on itself?

    Apple menu -> System preferences -> Users -> select your user, and select Login Items.  There is where automatic launching happens.   The other thing is, with Mac OS X 10.8 and later, there is a checkbox when you restart or shut down your Mac to reopen windows that were open upon shutdown.  Make sure that checkbox is unchecked.  You aren't running Classic.  You are running some version of Mac OS X on a MacBook Pro.

  • My mac keeps closing all of the applications by itself- how do I stop this from happening?

    My mac  closes out of any programs I have open if I let it sit for more than a couple of minutes.  This is a new development, so I am not sure if I have some kind of virus or if it is a problem with the computer. Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    I have the same problem on my Macbook Pro with OSX. The computer does not shut down. When using any application like; internet, photoshop, or watching movies. For example; im watching netflix, I cant watch a show without the internet window slide to the left and take me to the desktop 5 to six times in 45 minuets. Sometimes I dont have to be watching anything. In fact, my window minimized itself at the start of this sentence. Its really annoying and I would like for some help.

  • PSE v13 on mac, organizer spontaneously adds images duplicates.  How do I stop this from happening?

    just purchased PSE v13 on mac, primarily using the organizer
    issue - Organizer spontaneously adds image duplicates. 
    How do I stop this from happening?

    I enter misc. items in each metadata file, ie. document title, author, description, keywords, copyright notice, etc.  Each image has it's own metadata file, with unique keywords, which are unique to that image. The keywords then show up on the right side of PSE organizer under 'imported keyword tags'.  Then I can select a keyword, unique to that image and wa...la... that image only appears in organizer.  I have been doing this for years (like probably 10). But this is the first time I have experienced the duplication issue.
    Not adding any auto-adjustments in Organizer as far as I know.
    The names are not duplicated in organizer, but appear as ie. scnr0122.jpg and scnr0122-1.jpg.  But the '-1' is not found on my server.  Apparently they are being added from another source.  Is it possible they are being pulled from a cloud server, ie. creative cloud or revel??  I do have the same files on those cloud servers, but am not intentionally duplicating the import.
    here is an interesting side item. 
    Did you know that a man was convicted of murder because of the info found in the metadata of his files?

  • Every time I download an app on one of my apple devices, it automatically goes onto both of the other devices. How do I stop this from happening?

    Every time I download an app on one of my apple devices, it automatically goes onto both of the other devices. How do I stop this from happening?

    On the device that you don't want the apps to be downloaded on, go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Automatic Downloads. Once you turn that off, your problem will be fixed.

  • Importing my video from my event library into my project library, it shows the full width of the clip, but on the viewing section, it's zoomed in and cut the sides of the video off.  How do I stop this from happening?

    When importing my video from the event library to the project library, it's zooming in and
    narrowing the width of my footage.  How do I stop this from happening?

    In the project, double-click on the clip to open the Clip Inspector. In the Clip tab you will see an item about two thirds down labelled "Stabilization". If checked, uncheck the box "Smooth clip motion".
    Stabilizing clips causes a zoomed in effect, with the extent of the zoom dependent upon how shaky the footage is. There is a slider beneath the check-box labelled "Maximum Zoom" - this can be draggged back and forth to adjust the zoom effect if desired, once the clip has been stabilized.
    You may have chosen to analyze clips for stabilization when importing to iMovie (that's a choice provided by iMovie upon import). If so, it's best to turn off an option in iMovie's preferences. Go to this from the iMovie menu item iMovie>Preferences. Click on the Browser tab and deselect (uncheck) the box labelled "Automatically stabilize clips that have been analyzed".
    I prefer to import clips without analyzing, as this speeds up the import process. Afterwards, in the Event you can check for any overly shaky clips, then analyze them in the Inspector. If necessary, once dropped into a Project, you can stabilize them as desired. You can also stabilize clips directly in the Project without having to first analyze them in the Event.

    Are they coming from one forum (e.g. this one, 'iTunes Store'), or from just one thread ? If one community then what shows at the top right of the screen under the Notifications box for the forum - if it says 'stop email notifications' then click on it.

  • My iPod restarts every time I unplug it from my computer and deletes my music. How do I stop this from happening?

    My iPod froze the other day and deleted all my music and then it wouldn't connect to my iTunes. Now it will connect to my iTunes and it syncs my music but when I unplug it from my computer it restarts itself and deletes all my music that I just put on it. How do I stop it from restarting itself all the time?

    iPod issues? Try these five steps first: Reset, Retry, Restart, Reinstall, Restore.

  • I have Firefox 7.0.1 install on my laptop running Windows Vista. When visiting some website, the program automatically default to a mobile version of the website rather than the full website. How can I stop this from happening?

    No additional information is available

    Changing versions often does not cure problems, but it does increase risks.
    * ( Do Not ) [[Install an older version of Firefox]]
    The search options will not be changed by downgrading, but there is a method of changing that without downgrading.
    * See Ed's [/questions/1044599#answer-685295]
    I am not sure the changes in Firefox 35.0.1 would cause your audio issues
    * https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/35.0.1/releasenotes/
    The first step in troubleshooting that may be to identify the tab or page involved, then try Firefox with only the newtab page and the problem page open.
    IIRC Firefox is intended to continue streaming audio even if a tab does not have focus. That enables users to stream audio in the background whilst browsing. What you hear may be intended behaviour.

  • I copy songs into playlists that I create.  And when I sync my iPod, the songs disappear.  How do I stop this from happening?

    I have an iPod nano version 1.0.4.  I've created playlists on my iTunes and copied songs into them.  But whenever I sync my iPod nano, the songs disappear from the playlists.  They stay in the main library, however.  Does anybody know of a way to keep them from disappearing from my playlists?

    It's a plain old playlist (with a folder icon next to it).  One more fact to complicate things.  I just had my hard drive replace under a recall from Apple.  Before I replaced it, plain old playlists worked fine. 
    But I may have just solved the problem.  When I was having the problem, I was creating the playlists by going into the "File" tab and clicking "New Playlist Folder".  This time I clicked the + sing in the lower left hand corner of the iTunes window.  Instead of a file folder icon, there's now a musical note.  And the songs now seem to be staying.  I'll also play with the smart playlists and see if that help too.  Thanks B-Rock for inspiring me to explore a bit more.

  • When I perform a search in the card catalog (on the website I am designing for our library), it opens the search in two tabs. This only happens on the homepage and only in Firefox. How do I stop this from happening?

    I have tried adjusting the code and stripping it down, but nothing seems to work. When I preview the website in Internet Explorer, it works just fine.

  • I have ms exchange on my iphone 4s and when i read my email, it disappears. Where does it go and how do I stop this from happening?

    I recently aquired an iphone 4s due to the fact that our parent corporation requires us to use either a blackberry or iphone in order to have the protection needed to use their email. In MS Exchange, when I recieve an email, I read it once, then it's gone. Very frustrating as I need to keep those emails available. Where do they go and How do I stop this from happening?

    i actually got it figured out. I have multiple email accounts i have to use due to different corporate offices ( which can be a real headache at times). The exchange account is an active server used by Hilton and its an actual account. What was happening is my mail was getting kicked back to their server for storage. Once I contacted Hilton, they corrected it on their end. Thanks for trying to help out.

  • I have an iphone 4 that keeps deleting my notes. How can I stop this from happening?

    I have an iphone 4 that keeps deleting my notes. How can I stop this from happening? I've had my phone over 2 years and only in the past 2 months has it started deleting notes. Now they are all deleted, but thankfully still in my email, but only on a computer.

    I guess he/she open Notes in Gmail settings. This archives (one way sync) notes in gmail account under notes label that is invisible if you are using the standard gmail setup on your iPhone. You can see it on desktop browser, Safari or gmail app in iDevice. Am I wrong?
    Sorry for bad English.
