IMessage for MBP not starting new SMS messages

iMessage for Mac 10.10.2 tries to start all texts as iMessages. I can only SMS text from my MBP if a conversation exists with the party of interest. How can I get my MBP to start a new text message instead of iMessages only?

I have asked the Hosts to move this to Yosemite.

Yes I have turned imessage off a number of times and that does not seem to he doing the trick, and it is not delivering them then I have to press on the photo and either chose try again or send as text message, I have had the setting on to not allow sending pictures as texts (so they can only send as imessage) since I got my phone in January and it has always worked until now, I have turned that off to allow me to send them as picture messages now but it's still not working over iMessage, I have also tried it using 3G and not wifi

Is there an app for continuous alerting until an sms message is read?

I know the iphone will do up to 10 alerts for a new sms message but how can I get continuous alerts until the message is read. If I am in a very noisy place sometimes 10 alerts is not sufficient. Does anyone know of an app. I know they are available for non-apple phones but can't find one for the iphone

Mail not loading new gmail message

I have Apple Mail 4.3 and since 22 November it is not loading new gmail messages. New messages are appearing in gmail and iphone, but not in Mail - any ideas why this would be

I'm facing the same problem since 27 Dec 2010, can't find and fix for this problem.
I can download other mail accounts except imap.gmail.com, it just show loading and nothing happen, and it also choke up almost all my internet bandwidth.
I gave up and switched to outlook for mac and no such problem.
Hope apple can look into this problem and I'm sure there are more out there having same issue.

During Import, scene breaks are not starting new clip.

Imovie HD: When importing from my camcorder (Mini DV) scene breaks are not starting new clips. The video is going into one clip which I then have to manually split each scene into individual clips before editing.
My preferences are set to: Import/Start a new clip at each scene break=ON..
The last time I used Imovie4, this same thing occurred. Prior to that, in Imovie4, it worked as advertised.
Could it be my camera settings?? Panasonic PV-DV910

Problem solved.
I normally do not have the date and time displayed in the camera's viewfinder. So, I didn't realize that the date/time had been reset to 1998 and not active. After setting to date/time to the present, NEW recording - when imported - was being split into individual clips at the scene breaks.
However the previously recorded video would not.
My punishment for my lapse is to manually do the "split". But I am a much wiser videographer.

Viewing new SMS messages on my home page - Pearl 9100

Can the BB Pearl 9100 show new SMS messages on the home page if the Today layout is selected? This was possible on my old BB 8110. I wish to see new messages without having to click to the next screen.
I loved my 8110 and know that if I can find a solution to above, I will love my new 9100 more.
Grateful for any advice given!

Yes you can use a Today theme with messages & sms.
it will be enhanced even more when the OS6 will be available.

I am currently abroad in France, and I can not send any SMS messages.

I am currently abroad in France, and I can not send any SMS messages. iMessages works fine. I have checked the setting, and message sending to SMS is activated. I have also reset my phone. Could you advise on why I can not do this please?

Hi
It could be a case that the network you are connected to is having problems.
If you go to Settings > Carrier > Turn off Automatic > This will prompt the device to do a manual search. Once completed chose a different network and test.
Also is it a particular number it's failing to or have you tried a few?
Let me know how you get on.
Thanks.

My computer will not start up. the message diplaying says 'startup test failed'. any tips??

Hi,
Do you know which test your notebook failed? If you don't know, try the following.
Shutdown the notebook. Tap away at f10 as you start the notebook to enter the bios menu. Under the Advanced or Diagnostic tab you should find the facility to run tests on both the Hard Drive and Memory. Post back with the details of any error messages.

MBP not starting up past loading apple

I was just about to finish up on my Macbook Pro the other night when it prompted me to reinstall software updates, and after wavering it for a little while I decided it might be a decent idea to finally do it. After about Five minutes of waiting wearily and the updates not progressing as fast as I wanted it to, I shut the lid and went to bed.
When I woke in the morning to check my emails before work, I was confronted by the problem of my MBP not starting up beyond the Apple with the loading thing underneath. I've tried resetting P-RAM, put the install disc in and starting up holding Option, and also holding C.
I can't really think of anything else and it's a hard task for me to take my laptop into town with the monsoon we've been having lately.
Any suggestions?
Help is much appreciated,
Peace.

Not the brightest thing to do while the computer is updating. What did you think would happen? You could have just let it run and gone to bed. Not knowing which updates you are referring to I would hesitate to guess that you now have directory issues or worse. So, your options are:
1. Run Repair Disk from Disk Utility while booted from your installer disk. If it won't repair the disk;
2. Use DiskWarrior to rebuild the directory. If that wn't do it;
3. Do an Erase & Install of the OS.

Why can I not send a SMS message to a non iPhone when MMS is turned off?

Why can I not send a SMS message to a non iPhone when MMS is turned off? I'm getting charged an MMS every time I send a text to a non iPhone so have turned off MMS. Have tried all sorts of work arounds include rests etc. Anybody any ideas?

Both of those are carrier features, contact your cell phone provider and ask them why.

IMessages not converting to SMS messages when recipient not in wi-fi area / out of credit

I have an iPhone 5s (iOS 8.1.3) and my daughter and iPhone 4. She often texts me without problem. BUT if I try and reply and she is not in a Wi-Fi area or has run out of credit, the message (in blue) says that it has been delivered but she doesn't receive it. The only way I can send a message to my daughter is to switch off iMessage and try again and send it as a SMS message - which is surely not how it's meant to be? Other friends that are also iPhone users who are unaware of this problem so she doesn't get all her messages until back in a wi-fi area - which as a teenager is really annoying!
I do have the settings "Send as SMS" switched to on - so in theory my daughter should get a SMS as a minimum?
I have reset my phone and the network data but nothing has changed. My daughter is quite fed up on missing out on her messages.
Any ideas?

Solution found. It was simply that the Cellular data was switched off on my daughters phone.

I can not send a sms message with my iphone4S ios 5.1

I can send as mms and call but I can not send sms

So you did not read about iMessage before you bought the iPad? If you did, you would know that you can only text other iOS 5 users.
http://www.apple.com/ios/features.html#imessage says:
iMessage
iPad and iPod touch join the conversation.
With iMessage, we’ve created a new messaging service for all iOS 5 users. You can send unlimited text messages via Wi-Fi or 3G from your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch to anyone with one of those devices. iMessage is built into the Messages app, so you can send text, photos, videos, locations, and contacts. Keep everyone in the loop with group messaging. Track your messages with delivery receipts and optional read receipts, see when someone’s typing, and enjoy secure encryption for text messages. Even start a conversation on one of your iOS devices and pick up where you left off on another.
