Iphone froze in the middle of text message, self rebooted, deleted all of my text messages, and can't send/receive now

I was replying to a couple of text messages today when the sending animation froze. My iPhone restarted on its own and when it turned back on my messages application was wiped clean and now I am unalbe to send any message. When I attempt to compose a message and select a contact, "no name" appears in the TO: field.

iOS 7.1.2, huh? It MAY be having some trouble with the iOS 8.x devices and latest iCloud features. Although it meets the minimum system requirements, it does not meet the recommended ones - System requirements for iCloud - Apple Support
You should try Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support - this is generally the first step in troubleshooting, all devices - for all time

Reached text limit, but can still send/receive texts?

My little brother is on my plan, which I pay for. Of course he's texting fiend, so I had to shell out for the parental controls so that I could restrict his texts to the 500 he is allotted each month.
I started this about a year ago, and I thought it was working, but last month, he was able to go over his text limit and my bill ended up being much more than it should have been. I looked at the line items, and yes, there was a significant additional charge for his extra texts.
I double checked the parental control settings, and it is indeed set to restrict his text to a total of 500. Then WHY is he able to send and recieve additional texts? If I am paying for the privilege of being able to make he doesn't go over his limit, WHY is this happening?
I need a resolution on this, I've already paid hundreds of additional dollars due to this ridiculous problem, I will not do it again. Also, my contract was up with Verizon in 2010 and I've not yet renewed it - if this continues happening, Verizon, we're going to have to break up!

Hello ceruleanred,
I definitely understand. If the controls are set correctly then the text limit stop should respond accordingly. Since you have already doubled checked the settings on My Verizon please PM me with your name and mobile number so I may further assist. Thank you.

I frequently receive a "connection time out" message and can neither send nor receive email.

SOMETIMES exiting and reopening Thunderbird helps; SOMETIMES frequently checking for new mail and/or hitting the send button helps -- and sometimes nothing helps, not even rebooting. My internet connection via my browser works, and I am able to open links in older emails even when I cannot send or receive.
I am using 24.6.0 with Win 7 Ultimate.

Anti virus as you are probably aware operates on many different levels. The most obvious have been closed off. Lets try the second most obvious, real time scanning.
I have no idea what you use and they all use different terminology for basically the same things, so you will have to read between the lines a bit.
You have disabled the email scanning, now create an exception in the anti virus real time scanner for your [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb#w_where-is-my-profile-stored Thunderbird profile] folders.
Thunderbird uses a single file per folder to store mail and the anti virus can slow things to a crawl scanning those very large files every-time something is added or removed or a folder is changed. An exception means that does not happen and the folder is only scanned when a "full system" scan is done. This does not stop memory scanning or scanning of attachments when they are opened.

Hi Robertfrom Denver.
Did you try the solution given, and if yes, did it work?
I have done several "attempted downloads, and see the full file download, typically taking 30 minutes to complete, and then something goes wrong.
I am happy to suspend AV and FW software, but would like to know if it is a good fix or not first?

Attaching Word and PDF files in Mail without preview in the middle of a message

I am using Mail but often attaching Word docs and PDFs. Word attachments appear as small icons, but PDFs as preview and usually in the middle of the message. Can I attach PDFs as small icons and not in the middle of a message? Having just moved to Mac from PC I am missing the tidyness of Outlook, but if you can help me I'll persist.

I found this solution in a previous thread:
1. Open Terminal (Applications > Utilities > Terminal)
2. copy and paste this line after the $:
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool yes
3. hit return
4. you may need to restart Mail for the change to take effect, it worked for me without restarting Mail.
5. to change it back you would do
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool false

Logic Pro Froze in the middle of saving a project.

Logic Pro Froze in the middle of saving a project. It stayed that way for 30 minutes. When I forced quit, it did not save the project, and my last save was an hour previous (including project backup files). Is there a way to recover what I did, or has that hour of work been lost?

Accept it and forget, it is lost for ever.
But.........your new ideas will surpass anything you did before!, I'm sure!
Have a nice day!

My Samsung Galaxy Nexus closes out in the middle of texting

Moved for greater exposure

I got the new Galaxy Nexus two days ago and have had several problems already. Although I have been able to fix everything so far, the most recent issue that I am trying to fix occurs in the middle of texting. While I am in the middle of composing a text, occasionally the phone will just completely close out and go to the main menu (where it almost always opens a new app). How can I fix this?
Thanks!
I had this happen to me too 3 times the other day. What I figured out is that when I was trying to press the spacebar, my thumb would be too close to the home screen button icon. I was actually pressing the spacebar and home screen button, causing the phone to leave the text app and go to the home screen.
Not saying this is why in your case, but something to look for. I remember reading this post, a couple of hours before it happened to me.
Have a good day

It was when I was typing the text. I found the answer in the "More Like This" area on the side. I swear my phone changes settings by itself! :-) Thanks!!!
