In a group I can receive iMessages, but only respond as a text. How can I fix this without deleting the thread?

I had been sending group imessages in a thread earlier in the day on my iPhone 5 and later when I got my iPhone 6 I received an iMessage in the thread and sent an iMessage back, but when the other person responded it showed up as received from unknown. Once that happened I can still receive iMessages from the other two people in the thread, but I can only send a text back. If I send an iMessage individually to each person everything is fine and as it's always been. It's just the when I send a message in the group. I've tried signing out of iMessage and turning off iMessage and restarting my iPhone. Nothing seems to work. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hey kenth93939!
Here is an article for you about group messages that has some helpful information and troubleshooting tips for this issue:
iOS: Understanding group messaging
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5760
The Group Messaging setting applies only to MMS messages.
Your wireless carrier may restrict the maximum number of recipients allowed in a group message with MMS.
Disabling Group Messaging has no effect on iMessage behavior. Responses to group iMessages are always sent to all recipients.
Group messaging with MMS requires an appropriate plan from your carrier for use on iPhone.
Carrier messaging rates may apply when using group messaging with MMS.
Additional Information
It is not possible to remove yourself from a group message.
To add or remove recipients, you must create a new group message conversation.
If you experience an issue with iMessage, SMS, or MMS messaging, try the steps outlined in this article.
To learn more about SMS, MMS, and iMessage see iOS: Using Messages.
Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!

Upgraded to CC from CS5.5 now all Illustrator templates have a 'missing font' (myraid-Italic). How can I fix this without replacing the font?

Replacing the font is not an option. This would mean resaving thousands of company files.
Also, none of the templates use Myraid Italic. They were created with Myraid Roman.
This has never been an issue when upgrading to other versions of Illustrator.
Every file I open will pop-up with the missing font notice; this is very annoying when checking numerous files (I have to click okay everytime for the file to load).

I actually have a fairly simple solution to this for Windows 7. Don't mess with your registry or delete other fonts. Go into c:/windows/fonts. Check to see that you have the set of fonts "Segoe UI". Inside this set are 6 Segoe fonts:
Regular (segoeui)
Regular Italic (segoeuii)
Bold (segoeuib)
Bold Italic (segoeuiz)
Semi Bold (seguisb)
Light (segoeuil)
You may not have them arranged in a set, but just check that you have all of them.
Make sure programs (i.e iTunes) are closed.
If you don't have the fonts, find them on the internet, ask a friend to copy and paste them, send them to you etc. They are easy and free to get. Download them to your desktop. Right click each one and "Install".
If you already have them in your fonts folder (my problem) do this: COPY (not cut) them from your c:/windows/fonts folder to your desktop. Close windows explorer. From your desktop, right click each one and "Install". You will get a message that they are already installed and do you want to install a newer version or some such. Say "Yes". They will get re-installed.
Open iTunes and you should have all your text back!
*Based on a sample of one - hopefully it works for you.

Hannahdb1 what specific Adobe applications are you attempting to reinstall? Do you receive any specific error messages? Finally what version of Mac OS are you using?

You bought the phone from this lady right and she did not turn off imessage. Try turning off imessage and restart the phone. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost). Wait a few minutes and turn imessage back on

My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can i fix this without turning off iCloud?

My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can I fix this without turning off iCloud?
I am at a new office that uses Outlook (not Outlook Exchange) which does not sync with my mobile... I just got iCloud set up on my PC to sync my contacts, calendar, reminders, etc... The sync worked (not without flaws, but the other issues seem solvable... I think), so that i can now see all my appointments on both my phone and on my PC. The problem I am having is that iCloud moved all of my calendar items from Outlook into iCloud calendar and now when I send out meeting/calendar invites the recipients may accept them, but the meeting does not get added to their calendar. This is a huge problem and may mean that i need to turn off iCloud.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks!

I am replying to my own post here as I seem to have fixed the problem.
I do have some calendars that are shared. Some of those are shared with users who have time zone support turned on. So i activated time zone support on my iphone, then deleted my icloud subscription. I then signed in to icloud again and voila... problem solved.
It is a weird one as the other calendar views were always fine and when you opened an event that appeared in the wrong day (on list view), the correct date of the event was shown in the information...
one more bug in a complicated system I guess

My Macbook Pro is frozen on the login page with a white screen and only my login picture. How do I fix this? I can't turn it off and I closed it and let it charge but it's still not working.

My Macbook Pro is frozen on the login page with a white screen and only my login picture. How do I fix this? I can't turn it off and I closed it and let it charge but it's still not working. It's only 3 months old and was working perfectly fine 30min before this happened.

Hello Kierasully,
I would start your troubleshooting with the article below for issues of not being able to log in to your Mac. Start with booting up in to Safe Boot as well as resetting PRAM on your Mac. If that does not work, then verify the hard drive with booting to the Recover HD and go to Disk Utility to verify it.

Copy the content from one computer to another and import the media into iTunes.
Any playlists, playcounts, etc on the computer the content is being moved from will be lost.

I would like to move the Tv show folder to an external HD. Can I do this without moving the entire iTunes music folder?

I would like to move the TV Shows folder from my iMac's HD to an external HD to free up some space. Can I do this without moving the entire iTunes Library folder? If so, can my other devices like iPads and Apple TV find the moved TV shows folder?

All kinds of things are possible with iTunes, but few of them are easy. Yes, you can isolate TV shows on a different drive. The degree of complexity depends upon how much work and learning you are interested in doing. The easiest solution is to delete them all from iTunes but do not let iTunes delete the actual media files. Then go to the folder where TV shows are located and copy that folder to a different drive. Now hold down the option key and drag them back to iTunes so it adds them again. Using the option key means the file doesn't get copied to iTunes' main media folder. However, since these are being added as new files it means you risk losing some information entered about them such as personal ratings, date added, date last played, etc. There are ways of retaining this data but that's where you really have to learn how to do workarounds with iTunes.
I have never seen an AppleTV, nor used an iPhone but my understanding is these devices do not directly use the files, they do so through iTunes. As long as the entries can be found in iTunes then they should be accessible by other devices.

I just downloaded the new OS X Mountain Lion, and my iMessages status won't change!! How do I fix this?

I just downloaded the new OS X Mountain Lion, and my iMessages status won't change!! How do I fix this?

if you set up only iMessage account, you cannot change the status, because iMessage has no status.
You should set up another service (for example AIM) with status service. Initially I didn't understand this "issue" too, but it is correct.

I purchased a movie as a gift, but failed to click "Gift". How do I fix this?

I purchased a movie as a gift, but failed to click "Gift". How do I fix this?

There's probably nothing you can to do fix this, since you purchased the movie yourself and there's no way to send it as a gift now other than re-purchasing it. You can, however, contact the iTunes Store, explain the mistake, and ask if there's anything they can do for you:

It's possible there's something they can do to help, though you shouldn't count on it.
Good luck.

Unexpected end of file error on CS4, can I fix this or is the file lost?

I'm trying to open a Photoshop CS4 file, but it keeps giving me an error message saying "Could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered." A lot of hours went into this project. Can I fix this or is the file lost?

Oh man, I've been getting that too (with CS5). Unless I move my file off my computer at end-of-day, I show up and get this error. I'll be eager to see what an expert says… and sorry I can't help you out!

HT5622 When I tried to use my saved credit card, I made an error & it didn't work. Now, although the error is corrected, I keep getting a message that the card is declined. Can I fix this, or will the error time out?

Hello KGDJ,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
When there is a mismatch between the iTunes Store's records and your credit card company's records, you will receive an error message
For more information on this, take a look at:
iTunes Store: My credit card's security code or zip code does not match my bank's records
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1646
If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorizations have the correct information on file.
Best of luck,
Mario

Hello pootieq, iCloud is an awesome feature for backing up your phone info. Have you checked your iCloud settings to ensure the Backup option for contacts is enabled http://vz.to/1E1kigx? You can also check the iCloud page via browser to review your backed up phone content at www.apple.com/icloud.
