I received a text so large, it has caused the inability to access messaging.  How do I correct this?

Someone deliberately sent me a message incredibly long.  Now I am unable to access my Messaging.  I cannot get this large message off because I cannot get into Messaging.  Is there a backdoor way to delete this message?  Thanks.

Next try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Go to Settings>Messages and turn off/log out of messages and then turn on/log back in
- Reset all settings      
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:                                 
iOS: How to back up                                                                
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • I am trying to erase and reformat my old iMac, it has a 1Tb hard drive in it.  Error pops up and I noticed it is saying that the hard drive is 8Tb.How do I correct this?

    Iam trying to erase and reformat my old iMac, it has a 1Tb hard drive in it.  Error pops up and I noticed it is saying that the hard drive is 8Tb.How do I correct this?

    I found another forum that had a solution.  Instead of using the recovery discs that came with the mac, use snow leopard to perform the actions that I needed to do.  It worked.  No input/output error and the software recognized the 1Tb hard drive.

  • ITunes cannot contact the radio tuning service. How do I correct this issue (Window 7)? This error started 10 days ago, and has not corrected itself.

    I have been using iTunes for over 10 years, and I have NEVER had this problem occur (repeatedly, all day long, every day). I have seen this error occur on occassion, but not consistently as it has been for the last 10 days. This is really getting me frustrated and quite upset, as there does not seem to be any reason for this error to be occurring. My internet connection is active (or I would not be able to list this here). I have gone through ALL of the troubleshooting topics, and nothing has worked to correct this problem.
    I have uninstalled iTunes completely (as well as ALL supporting software, etc.) and reinstalled the program at least 10 times over the past 10 days. NOTHING IS WORKING as far as getting iTunes to "contact (or connect to) the radio tuning service".
    Does anyone know what is causing this problem? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Please respond to me privately at [email protected]
    Thank you.

    It has not been working for me on any platform, any OS, anwhere since about last Friday. It has been reported many many times on this forum so I can only assume it's a known issue that will be fixed in time.
    Interestingly some genres work, for instance Classical and Blues work but most others don't. I thought it was Apple's attempt to force some taste upon us but then I noticed sports radio works too. So much for that idea.
    Also, if you have the playlist saved somewhere that still works too. It's only the "radio tuning service" that's borked.
    By the way it's not a good idea to post your email address here, Apple Support Communities is secure from spambots but why tempt fate.

  • HT4972 Hi guys! i just updated my iphone 3gs OS, but unfortunately it's has refused to recognise my sim card. how can i correct this?

    I need help with my iphone 3gs?

    No. It won't. You can NOT activate an iPhone without a SIM. There are no exceptions. If the OP is getting a message that the SIM is not valid, not present, or not recognized, it will NOT activate.

  • AFter upgrading to FF7, I get certificate errors & only see text & broken links when trying to reach the FF Addons website. How can I correct this?

    I am currently at work, & this issue is occuring on my home computer--which I cannot reach at the moment.

    I now find that even when I attempt to visit the FF Addon page from work, using either IE or FF 6, gives me the same problems. & the system date & time on my work computer is correct.

  • When loging into Outlook I get the following message "The message you are looking for has previously been moved or deleted." How can I correct this.

    See heading above.

    This may not help you much, but the obvious answer would be to not move or delete something you want.
    On a more helpful note, IIRC outlook's email service may have recently introduced a feature to reverse some changes.
    You are on the wrong site for finding such information that is not a Firefox problem it is use of email so look at your webmail provider's support.

  • When using text edit, the font as it appears on the screen is ok, but when I print, it is much smaller on the paper than the chosen font size. How do I correct this?

    Hi Corel
    Thank you for your reply
    However I need the lower case version for some sites and the upper case version for the site in question? To make matters worse this site does not allow you to change your log on name unless it is in the form of an e-mail address
    So what I need is Kostas for this site and kostas saved for other sites and allow me to choose which one I want to use
    How do I do this please
    I have no bother with this on Win Internet Explorer but I like Firefox
    Mind it may be as simple as deleting The appropriate entry and resetting with Kostas instead of kostas?
    But I would appreciate knowing the correct solution from an expert

    If that is the problem, how do I change it so she has her own Apple account if she already activated her device? Is there  a way to remove my account and make her a new one on the device itself if it was activated incorrectly:??

    Hello Bricky2013,
    The following article has some useful tips that can help stabilize your iPhone.
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

    It takes two to tango, maybe it's your recipient that has weak Internet/Cellular connections.

  • HT4279 I have a Macbook Pro (late 2012) and I would like to connect it to 2 screens simultaneously (1 screen is a TV and can only take HDMI, the other is a larger computer screen and has both VGA and HDMI connections). How can I do this?

    The article you cited refers to The Mac Pro, a 50lb silver tower -- not a notebook computer.
    Everymac.com says:
    2nd Display Support:
    Dual/Mirroring*
    2nd Max. Resolution:
    2560x1600 (x2*)
    Details:
    *This model supports a simultaneous maximum resolution up to 2560x1600 on two external displays via Thunderbolt. Alternately, it can support a single display up to 2560x1600 via Thunderbolt and a single display up to 1920x1200 via HDMI. Although it can theoretically power all three external displays, as confirmed by a helpful reader, it runs too hot with three displays connected.
    Also see: How many external displays can the Retina Display MacBook Pro models support? What is the maximum supported resolution of each? Are adapters required?
    When using other than ThunderBolt displays, the ThunderBolt port is directly compatible with Mini DisplayPort, and can be forced into compatibility (with Single-Link DVI or HDMI up to 1920 wide) with a simple adapter.
    To adapt to wider displays, an ACTIVE Dual-Link adapter is needed, about US$100.

    T he general concensus to fix this is to turn off Facebook and iMessage for a couple of minutes. Then turn them back on again and it seems to get them activated.
