IOS 6.1 iMessage problems (not the usual though)

Since I upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 6.1, every message that is generated outside of the messages app is being sent as an iMessage, regardless of the recipient. This obviously fails when you try to, for example, send a picture to someone with a non iOS device, because the phone tries to send it as an iMessage and it just fails. I then have to go into the messages app and elect to resend the iMessage as an SMS. The same thing happens when I ask Siri to text someone. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

It's weird cuz the only solution I found was to turn on send as SMS feature in iMessage....(which used to never had to be turned on prior to ios 6.1.... Great for avoiding international texting fees =\ )
But now you have to leave it on... It's the only fix to share pictures, links, or any media that doesn't involve the messages apps... Basically anything you hit the share tab on (if it doesn't have iMessage and you had send as SMS off, it's not gonna send at all!)

  • Webutil-Problem (not the usual "PRE-FORM", "WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE" etc.)

    Hello,
    We have an application with lots of modules, where we use webutil to create text files on the client for data exports. The export is called in a WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED Trigger and usually works fine, but we have the following problem:
    If two modules, where webutil is used, are opened at the same time and one module is closed, webutil does not function anymore in the other module. If we then try to create a text file after closing on module, we get the following error-message:
    Oracle.forms.webutil.file.FileFunctions bean not found.
    WEBUTIL.FILE.FILE_SELECTION_DIALOG_INT will not work.
    It’s not only the FileFunctions bean, all other webutil functions do not work also anymore in the remaining module.
    This is not the usual “PRE-FORM”, “WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE” etc. Webutil-Problem.
    As I said before, webutil works, but when we close one module with webutil used, it does not work in another open module anymore.
    Any Idea, why this happens and how to solve the problem???
    Kind regards
    Udo

    Hello,
    Yes, both modules work in the the same session and session is not disconnected, when one of the modules is closed.
    Webutill.pll is attached on both forms and all forms in our application using webutil usually work fine with the exception mentioned above.
    It's a bit difficult to explain, what happens in our application, but I try:
    Our application consists of modules that call other modules with call_form or go_form , when the module is open, all in the same session. "Global" Parameters are passed with SHARE_LIBRARY_DATA. Usually the calling forms stays open.
    In the following constellation webutil does not work anymore at a certain point :
    - Open module A (with webutil attached) and webutil works
    - Then module A calls module B (with webutil attached) and webutil works in module B
    - GO_FORM (module A) and webutil still works (while module B is still open)
    - CALL_FORM (module C) (in our case webutil is not attached to this module, but I think that is not the problem) module C closes module B (while module A stays open)
    - After making a choice in module C, module C closes itself with EXIT_FORM.
    - Go back to the open module A, make a new query with the choice made in module C and webutil does not work anymore in module A

  • IPad iOS 6 WiFi, iMessage and iTunes store problems - not the usual

    When I first updated my iPad 3 to iOS 6, everything ran relatively smoothly. Then the problems started piling on, beginning with me being absolutely unable of logging into iMessage. It's always the same error message: "Incorrect password". My password is correct, I am using the password I have always used so I know it is correct. Besides that, I tried changing it and that did not matter either way.
    Now, the next problem is the common "Unable to connect to iTunes store" which has been talked about a lot on here.
    In an effort to try to fix that problem, I reset all network settings for the iPad and that's when the next problem began.
    After I reset the network settings, I have not been able to connect to a secure network.
    I have now tried
    changing the encryption for the router password from WPS-SPK to WEP and back again
    connecting to three different routers with three different passwords
    set up multiple hotspots using my laptop with multiple passwords
    resetting the network settings over and over again
    and all those attempts have failed. I always get the same message as in the picture even though I know for a fact that the password is correct, my laptop accesses that network with flying colors using the same password as I tried on the iPad. And yes, I tried it again. And again and again and again.
    Now, this is really annoying. Not being able to access WiFi on my iPad is f****** annoying! Please help!

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • IPhone sound problem - not the usual issues

    Okay so I was listening to music in my office on an external set of speakers, and suddenly my sound cuts. The phone still says music is playing but nothing can be heard through either the built-in speaker or the external speakers. I tried the typical "trick the headphone jack" thing and no luck. When I try to play a saved voicemail and chance the volume, it indicates that the phone is using a bluetooth headset. However, I don't own one and bluetooth is off.
    When I try and change the volume at the home screen it says it's in Speaker mode, and when attempting to call somebody and change the volume it claims bluetooth again. I've both rebooted the phone and restored it. I'm doubting any hardware damage because it was working when I was playing music, then it just stopped without touching it.
    I'm traveling alot tomorrow and really really need my phone. Please help!!
    Best Regards,
    Fred

    I'm having the same sort of problems. Sometimes the external speakers work and then stops working (eg keyboard sounds, etc). On other occasions when I'm using the phone, the ear speaker cuts out and only by enabling the speaker icon, can I hear the other party with the external speakers. The people I'm speaking with are unaffected and continue to hear me. Sometimes the message "(headphone)" shows on the screen. I didn't have this problem before the recent iPhone software upgrade. Must be software problem. Will reset iPhone work?? My original iPhone that my daughter has with no upgrade doesn't have this problem.

  • Not the usual 'login loop' problem, help.

    The login loop problem I'm facing is not the usual login loop problem when starting up mac; it's when I'm trying to log into websites or applications (most of them, eg. facebook, instagram).
    I have tried:
    using other browsers: Safari, Firefox, Maxthon, Chrome
    clearing all cookies / caches / keychains / passwords
    repairing disk
    deleting launchservices cache
    using other userid to login
    All to no avail.
    How do I solve this without having to reformat/install mac?
    Thank you.

  • Audio engine overloaded (this is not the usual problem!)

    Hi people
    it's so frustrating I could cry. This is not the usual "I have 10 software synth running and get overload message".
    Bottom line is: Even with a new project and logic stopped the CPU meters go up to 100%. It happens every 5 - 15 secs. What is strange that the system monitor does not show these spikes. I know it's just sampling but at least some of the spikes should be caught by the monitor. But it's steady at around 10-15% user and system. There is of course no other process eating cpu.
    Console looks like this:

    Mar 5 00:34:43: --- last message repeated 1 time ---

    I swear: yesterday everything was fine. Now it's not working anymore. I'm a developer with 10 years coding and debugging experience but I can't find the solution. I had this problem before. Everything was running smoothly for months and one bad day the problem started. I could not find a solution till I gave up and reinstalled the whole system which took me about 3 days to get everything in place again. Again everything fine for about 3 months.
    Not matter what I try - deleting prefs. Starting logic as a new user. Reinitializing everything. Doesn't help. Is there anybody out there who had that problem too? I don't want to reinstall everything again.
    Cheers,
    Daniel

    I using a Line6 TonePort (I am a guitarist).
    To make sure that its not the drive (though nothing changed there) I switched setting to internal audio - but that didn't change a thing.
    And yes I tried the basics. I also disabled all plugins / AUs in the AU-Manager but I haven't tried to move them away. Give that a try this eve.
    It's really strange. It doesn't matter wether it's a new empty project or any other that worked with no probs. Even if logic is stopped and there's no input monitoring: CPU load is flat and then every xyz secs boooom 100%. And its real because it actually interrupts the sound of my guitar or whatever.
    I might have to dig deeper and see if I find any tracing tools which might provide more info..
    Aaaaargh!
    The only thing I actually might tried the first time yesterday evening which I haven't done before is a roland vdrum via midi to ultrabeat but how could that mess things up? I dunno ...

    Please read my question carefully, this is, I think, a question for the experts. It's not the usual name change question.
    When I setup my new MacBook Pro, something slipped by me and my computer was named First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro (using my real first and last name).
    I changed the computer name in Preferences/Sharing to a new name and Preferences/Accounts to just be Mike. I can right click on my account name, choose advanced, and see that everything looks right.
    However, If I do a scan of my network with my iPhone using the free version of IP Scanner, it lists my computer as First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro! And it lists the user as First-Last.
    So even though another Mac just sees my new computer name, and my home folder is Mike, somewhere in the system the original setup with my full name is still stored. And it's available on a network scan. So my full name might show up at a coffee shop.
    Can I fully change the name without doing a complete re-install of Lion and all my apps?

    One thought... you said the iPhone displayed your computer's old name? I think that you must have used the iPhone with this computer before you changed the name. So no one else's iPhone should display your full name unless that iPhone had previously connected to your Mac. For example, I did this exact same change, and I use the Keynote Remote app to connect with my MacBook Pro. It would no longer link with my MacBook Pro under the old name, and I found that I had to unlink and then create a new link under the new name. So the answer to your question is, there is nothing you need to do on the Mac, but rather the phone, and no other phone will display your full name.

  • 8520 Email-Not the usual

    Are you trying to use the Setup Wizard?  If so, don't use that.  Look for the "Email Setup" or "Manage Internet Email" icon, usually located in the Settings folder.

  • Flash problem in IE - not the usual one.

    I am new to the game here. I've created some pages that use a
    Flash video player. The user can click on a list of available
    videos (XML generated), and the video will load in the player and
    play.
    Works fine in IE and Safari on Mac.
    Works terrible in Firefox on Mac and Windows (seems to need
    to buffer for a long time before play starts - longer than the
    specified buffer time).
    In IE for Windows - videos play fine and load fast. but -
    activating a video seems to "lock out" the rest of the page -
    rendering the ability to click through to other links not possible.
    Eventually, if i smash around enough, i can get a link to work -
    but its a terrible experience. This doesn't seem to be the "usual"
    Flash problem in IE (ie click to activate) - but I'm new - so this

  • Can't join CD tracks - no, not the usual problem

    Help,
    This is NOT the problem where the tracks are out of order so the Join CD Tracks is grayed out. It's a different problem.
    I load audiobook CDs to play on my iPod - have been doing it for years.
    I join the tracks so that each CD is only one entry in iTunes.
    As of the last few days, when I try to join CD tracks, it says it's joining hundreds of tracks, and when I drag the joined tracks to my itunes folder it just chimes and refuses to copy.
    In the past, the little drag icon would list the number of joined tracks (like 12), now it shows a number like 283. And it won't copy. I did a software update recently. Has something changed to this feature?
    OSX 10.6.6
    iTunes 10.2.1 (1)

    Rebooted all macs to run off iTunes 9, a much better version of iTunes, and wouldn't you know, join tracks works just fine.  Reinstalled 10.2 onto one of the computers and still get same software problem of joined tracks not importing.  If you join the tracks in the middle of an album, and then import the entire album, only the tracks that fall after the joined tracks import and nothing else. 
    I suggest having a working version of iTunes like 9 on your computer for the joined tracks feature.  I only use 10.2 now for uploading to ipad since apple is forcing paying customers to use that version for the ipad and other players because older more stable versions of itunes don't work with the new hardware.  Choice is something that is disappearing with apple products.  It's a shame.

    I am unable to sync and transfer purchased items to my computer as i am unable to open the the transfer tab (it is white instead of the usaul black writing). What is the problem ? (The itunes is authorised for my computer.)

  • Idiosyncratic Capacity Problem Copying to FAT32 - Not The Usual

    Here's the thing.
    I'm well aware that there is a 4G file size limit when copying from a Mac to a FAT32 drive.
    But I'm encountering a 4G total capacity limit. In other words, if I copy small, individual files, not even all at once, but over a period of time, to, say, a 32G flash drive, the copy process hangs and freezes as soon as I hit the 4G mark. As if I don't have 28 perfectly good, empty gig left to go.
    When I bought the iMac, in late 2006, it was running Tiger and this was not a problem. The problem began when I upgraded to Leopard. And it has persisted through a recent upgrade to Snow Leopard. (Yes, I know how behind I am, but I need to hold onto Rosetta for a while. Everything else is working without a hitch.)
    I tried reformattiong the drives as FAT32 freshly, via Disk Utility -- that hasn't worked either.
    I've spoken to several phone techs and Apple store Geniuses; not only haven't they been able to help me, none of them has even heard of this occurring before.
    At a guess, I'd say that there's some hidden protocol preventing my iMac from recognizing that there's anything more than 4G on a FAT 32 drive -- and that if I can find it, I can de-activate it. But I'm utterly without a clue as to how it got triggered (well, save that a system upgrade was the clear catalyst) or where it resides. (I suppose there may be another cause, but nothing else makes sense to me.)
    I'm having no problem whatsoever with Mac formatted flash or auxiliary drives. Only FAT32.
    Can anyone Out There help me solve this?

    Sorry to take so long replying.
    Yes, tried it and it doesn't work. (Actually, simply reformatting the drive creates a single partition by default, as displayed by the progress "narrative" in Disk Utility.)
    As I say, I don't believe this has ANYTHING to do with drives or how they're formatted. I'm pretty convinced there is some hidden operational protocol ENDEMIC TO THE COMPUTER that got triggered somhow. Something that's not part of the "civilian" settings or that you can dope out by poring through the System Preference options (I'm really good at that kind of troubleshooting and I've tried). That's the only explanation that seems to explain the idiosyncrasy and its consistency.
    I wonder if the answer may be some kind of override or cancel command line you might enter into Terminal. 
    Anybody have a notion about something like that?

  • IMac DV firmware trap- but not the usual symptoms, help?

    ok, ok, I admit, I got nailed by the Firmware Trap on my friend's iMac DV 500, but I don't have the usual no-video and shutdown problems typical of the classic firmware issue. The iMac has video, and boots fine from Panther install disks, and does not shut itself down, but it won't install anything, and it won't complete booting from OS 9 install CD (it gets partway thru, but Finder won't load) or utility CDs (only goes as far as splash screen in TechToolPro OS9.2)
    I knew about the update firmware issue, but since it already had OS X installed, I thought that it had the needed update, whose exact # I didn't remember and which looked correct to me in the System Profiler.. 4.1.7 (of course, now I remember, it's actually 4.1.9). The install did not give me any firmware warning, but the Panther install failed with massive errors (according to log). Eventually I read that OS10.1 could be (and was) installed and running without the update, as of course it would, having been released before the update... but that didn't occur to me at the time.
    There is no working OS on the drive- I'd chosen to erase it first. Before I realized that firmware might be the issue, I (uh-oh) started it up from the Panther CD again, ran Disk Utility (which reported it "repaired" the HD)and (cringe) also booted from an OSX-based TechToolPro CD, which started up, then shut down/restarted when i tried to run tests, and would not reboot from that CD again. If it tries to start up from just the HD it comes to the blinking folder question mark screen... as it would, having no working system installed. Video seems completely normal.
    I have tried an Open Firmware reset, pulled and reinstalled the RAM and backup battery, unplugged the HD, reset the logic board- nothing changed. The Sleep button trick won't work because it will not go to sleep, and it has video anyway.
    My question... what, if anything, to try now?
    I have video and start-up, but i can't get OS 9 to boot far enuf to install, which I need to do to be able to update the firmware. Should I pull the drive and install to it separately, then reinstall it and try to boot from it, or is this a waste of time (ie, does it sound like the logic board is already irretrievably whacked)? Any other ideas?
    I tend macs for several friends and relatives who have them (non-profit!), and don't want it to get out that I inadvertently killed one!

    I found these links for another topic thread. They have the technician's service manual for slot loader iMacs, in PDF format (both link to the same manual). There is a section in the manual on trouble-shooting, and it includes a section on the PMU reset procedure (pages 196 and 197).

  • 6233 restriction code - not the usual question

    Hello I am wondering if anyone else out there has this problem. I bought three 6233 handsets, all "outright" with no restriction on the network. I'm using them on the Telstra network in Australia. Intermittantly - maybe once or twice a week - they all exhibit the same "Phone Restricted" - "Enter Restriction Code" error message. I turn them off and on, and it clears. Otherwise the phones work well. The people I bought them off say they're not locked (and I agree - they work well otherwise) and we've changed SIM cards eight times now. One of the handsets has been replaced and it still errors, and they all have version 4.52 firmware. I'm not asking for the restriction code, as the network operators deny that they're locked. I'm just wondering if anyone else has this problem. Thanks, John

    Had the same problem with my 6280. This is currently locked to the 3 network and was bought as such. Took it back once and I got the usual response to 'intermittent' faults - poorly concealed disbelief and an offer of sending it off to a service centre for an indefinite period. I decided it would be easier to have to switch it off and on occassionaly.
    As you own the phone outright you are in a slightly better position than me - I do not know Australian law at all, but I imagine that you have something similar to the UK Sale of Goods act, whereby the retailer is obliged to replace or repair the product if it is not fit for the purpose it was sold for, or give you a full refund. If it continues to fail to perform I would look into this.
