IMessages Being Truncated on iPhone But Not Other Devices

I recently discovered a bug where iMessages are being truncated on the iPhone.  I had been messaging my friend using iMessage on my Mac.  Everything was fine until my friend told me that my messages were being cut off on his iPhone.  We verified that the messages were going through as iMessages, not SMS, and also verified that the messages were showing up correctly if he viewed them on his iPad.  I went and checked my other devices are sure enough, the messages I sent were fine on my Mac and iPad but when I viewed my own messages on my iPhone, they too were truncated.  Interestingly, if you copy and past the truncated message on the iPhone, the entire message is actually pasted so clearly this is a display problem, not a problem with the device actually receiving a truncated message.
I've never had this problem before but have only recently started using my Mac to send a lot of iMessages.  It could be something with the way the Mac sends them and the iPhone receives them that is causing the problem, or that could be completely unrelated.  I do know, however, that I've never received a complaint about a truncated message if I was sending a message from either my iPhone or iPad, only my Mac.
It's clearly a bug of some sort.  Anyone else having this problem?

ffaubert, have you tried those test messages I have posted in that other thread? 
This problem is totally repeatable (the same messages are always truncated every time for everybody), so it should be easy to test on 6.1 if you have it installed.  For example, try these messages (typed in exactly, sent from a Mac to an iphone):
"You watching the game?  We're coming back!"
"man, why are you here?  Two are in testing places"
"That's funny that you though I was joking when I said I was debugging.  Why is that so weird?"
(note that the last message has "thought" mispelled as "though")
I'd be thrilled to hear that the bug is gone.  I don't have 6.1 installed to test, though.

  • ICal iMac synchs to iPhone but not other way

    I am still using MobileMe. Events I put in my iMac iCal show up on iPhone calendar but not other way; events entered on the iPhone do not show up on other devices.

    Do this on my mac?
    My calendars are set to sync.
    When I click sign out, a few dialog boxes pop up and I'm worried I will create two copies of everything, or worse delete everything if I press the wrong thing. Do I keep things, or delete from mac as when I sign in they'll be there again?
    Thanks
    EDIT: iCal now doesn't seem to be syncing between either device (and all I did was check calendars were syncing)

  • How do I add certain songs and playlists to my iPhone but not others?

    Hi all,
    I recently installed iTunes 11.0 onto my MacBook Pro, and I yearn for the days of far simpler content management.  All I want to do is add certain songs and playlists from my computer onto my iPhone without re-syncing the entire thing (every time I do, sound files that I created for work find their way onto my phone, and I have to re-delete them every time).  But I can't figure out how to simply add ONE song or ONE playlist to what is already there.  In the previous version, it was so simple--just point, click, and drag.  Now I can't figure it out and I feel like an idiot.  Can anyone show me how to do such an absurdly simple thing?
    Thanks,
    Neil

    When you sync your phone with your laptop (or other device that has the songs you want), go into your music preferences and choose "Selected playlists, artists, albums and genres." This should allow you to select the three songs you want from your library. Make sure to click or tap on "apply" or else the changes will not be saved. Let the phone completely sync and those three songs should be in your phone's music library.
    Hope this helps!

  • Time capsule wireless works with computer but not  other devices.

    Wireless internet from the time capsule works with the laptop, but not with any other devices or computers. They pick up the wireless signal, but can't connect. Any ideas?

    Thanks for the response. I appreciate any help you can give. The internet modem is from Insight Cable and is an Arris TM602G.
    Wireless Mode = create a wireless network
    Radio Mode = automatic
    Wireless Security = WPA2 Personal
    Internet > Internet Connection tab
    Connect Using = Ethernet
    Connection Sharing = Off
    Internet > DHCP tab
    DHCP Beginning Address = ? I'm not seeing where to get this info.
    DHCP Ending Address = ?
    I did notice on the summary that it shows 4 wireless clients, which I assume are the computer and the other devices that can't get the internet but get the wireless.

  • Deleting photo stream from iPad but not other devices

    I created a photo stream last year to share pictures with my relatives. It shows up on my iMac, my wife's MBP and my iPad as well as the relatives computers and phones.  Now another relative has created a stream for this year and it currently appears on all of those devices.
    I would like to delete the old photo stream from just my iPad  to free up some much needed space while leaving it on the other devices. I also want to keep receiving pictures in the new photo stream which appears to mean I cannot turn off iCloud. When I click edit and click on the X at the corner of the old photos stream, it says it is going to delete it from all devices.
    How can I just delete the old one from just my iPad?

    This is not possible as far as I know. The best option would be to save the photos from that photo stream to a computer using iPhoto or Aperture and then disband the photo stream (giving the other shared members plenty of notice so they can nab those photos to local storage as well).

  • Windows recongnizes one iPhone but not other

    My Mom asked my help because her windows XP PC will no longer recognize her iPhone 3GS or my Dad's 3G for Photo transfer. They show up in iTunes and everything works fine there, but they don't show up anywhere else. I tried all the usual ideas regarding windows settings and drivers, etc but no luck.
    The wierd thing is that when I plug in MY iPhone (which I only sync to my Mac) everything works fine! Windows recognizes it as new hardware found, it shows up in "my computer" and it asks what to do with the camera photos. However when I plug their phones back in, nothing happens.
    We just updated to the latest firmware and latest iTunes and still nothing.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in Advance.

    Oh, I forgot to mention - My daughter's 2nd gen nano still works fine on this computer!

  • I am in a group chat with like 7 other people who all have smartphones. 6 of the people have iPhones, but the other person has android. I'm wondering if the iMessage works for the other 6, and my text count is only being accounted for by the android.

    I am in a group chat with like 7 other people who all have smartphones. 6 of the people have iPhones, but the other person has android. I'm wondering if the iMessage works for the other 6, and my text count is only being accounted for by the android user. I have a monthly limit of 1000 text so I dont want to go over my plan by being in this group if the iMessage doesnt work because of that one android user.

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • Why can i send imessages to every other person with an iPhone but not one person

    I can send an imesage message to every other person with an iphone, but not my uncle, who has an iphone 4s. We are both connected to wifi while texting and yet the message still shows up as green. PLEASE HELP

    Get him to check he's got iMessage enabled.
    Settings->Messages->iMessage needs to be 'ON'.
    Also in the same screen check what addresses he has under "Send & Receive" to ensure you're using one of those (or his phone number).

  • IMessage working on iPhone but not on MacBook Pro or iPad Air

    I Am getting increasingly frustrated that iMessage is working on my iPhone but not on iPad or MacBook Pro.  I have tried settings system preferences, taking jabber off etc but still no joy. It's been two weeks now, can anybody help me please

    HI,
    In System Preferences > Internet Accounts  you can enable some email type addresses (they may or may not be actual email addresses) to be able to join various services.
    Therefore a Google ID  can be activated  for Messages as Google allow Google Mail IDs to use their GoogleTalk Service which in turn  happens to be a Google Server.
    At Facebook (if you have an account there) you can enable Chat which gives you a Facebook Chat ID  which also runs off a Jabber server (the ID is similar to your regular ID  but has chat in the name and does not work with the Mail App)
    Apple Issued IDs (@mac.com @me.com and @icloud.com ending IDs) will work as AIM valid Screen Names  in Messages until the 30th June at least (Then @mac.com and @me.com names will stop).
    The iOS version of Messages will send either iMessages  to Apple IDs and iPhone Numbers or in some cases will send SMS to other phones including iPhones that may not have enough service coverage to do iMessaging.
    Of course people may use their Google ID as their Apple ID and use it in the Messages app on the Mac which in turn may mean it is the same on the iOS device.
    The same can be done with  Yahoo ID.
    This means the email IDs from both those services could be used as a Messages account anyway, the iMessages ID as the Apple ID and be active for Mail in Internet Accounts.

    FaceTime: I have a iPad, iPhone, iMac all on the same apple Id/account. Without changing id/email address can I use FaceTime between any 2 of my devices? It works from iPad to iPhone but not the other way??? I would like talk/see my kids if am away.
    Hope you can help.
    I have added a new email address but kept my Id, but I get busy when trying from iPhone to iPad as they are clashing. Like find my iPhone app hence trying to keep them all on one account

    IOS: using facetime http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4319
    using an ipad will use the email address since you can't make a phone call.  see the link.
    Your basically calling/emailing yourself that's why your getting a busy signal.

  • Just purchased a office jet 6500A Plus so that I can print from my iPhone and iPad. I can print form my iPhone but my iPad 2 tells me there is no air printer available.  Why does one device recognize the air printer but the other device does not?

    Just purchased a office jet 6500A Plus so that I can print from my iPhone and iPad. I can print form my iPhone but my iPad 2 tells me there is no air printer available.  Why does one device recognize the air printer but the other device does not?

    I have the 6500A without plus and it is with a LAN cable connected with my Router.
    First make sure you have the latest printer firmware installed.
    Next restart the printer and the Router.
    I had the same. Problem but it went away after rebooting the Router.

  • Can call friend on iPhone but not on ipad...

    A friend tried calling me on Skype. Both my ipad and iphone are set up. His call came through on the iPhone but not on my ipad. I asked him to hang up, and I then tried calling him on my ipad. I got the usual 'trying to connect' message but he didn't get anything... He was able to call back on the iPhone only....
    Help! What's going on?
    By the way, I had a 40 minute call with one of my other colleagues on the ipad yesterday...so that was working okay.

    sms is short message service it's 100% a cell network thing and 100% not! an Internet thing
    iMessage is an IM which when on the internet and sending to an apple device send the msg as an IM (this mean instant message) and when not it send it as an sms
    macs can't send sms they not being cell phones so they can only send to the apple users not other used who would require a sms

  • On my mac i accidentally deleted all my documents and now i cant play my songs from itunes but can on my phone and my photos are there but when i open them they are not but i can see some on my iphone but not all. How do i get these back or are they lost?

    I accidentally dleted all my documents and emptyed the trash can. I can play my music on my iphone but not through my mac because it says it cant locate the file/original and my photos are on my computer but when i double click to open them they come up with an ! however some of the photos are on my iphone but just the ones i took using the camera function. Can i get this stuff back or it lost forever.....

    At the AT&T store. Tried using iCloud but only 120 songs were transferred and when I access my iTunes account now it only shows 120 and not the 450 anymore that I purchased on my old phone. Tried to sync again from the phone to iTunes and it still not working.
    I purchased everything under the same apple ID account I called apple support and spent almost 2 hours with tech support for assistance and we got disconected and they never called me back.
    I'm at the point where I'm about to never purchase anything anymore from apple go to another company retrieve every single charge made on my bank account from iTunes and file a law suit against the company. It's being a week that I called for assistance and no one called me back to help me with this matter even after I responded a survey with a complaint about not getting a resolution to my problem.
    If you could please help me I will appreciate, I'm out of the country now and can't stay on the phone for a long time.
    I need to sell my old phone but as right now besides all my bank statements the old phone is the only evidence that I purchased the songs.
