IPhone sending texts to two different threads

I have an iPhone 4S running iOS 6.1.3 and I'm on the Sprint network.
To preface, way earlier this summer I sent out a message to several people, all with iPhones with iMessage enabled. Turned out that the contact info I had for one of the contacts on my phone, let's call him Friend 1, was wrong (I somehow had an 8-digit phone number for him, I guess I had just entered the information incorrectly and never texted him before). The texts were obviously going to everyone except Friend 1. So I corrected his contact info with his correct number, made a new group thread, and all was better.
Then two days ago, another one of my friends (Friend 2) in the same group thread turned off his iMessage because he's got a different bug on his phone that makes it freeze up every time he sends an iMessage. Anyway, as I expected, every message I send in the group thread is now green, being sent as an SMS. But everyone else in the thread is still able to send iMessages to it, which Friend 2 receives, despite having turned off iMessage on his phone.
However, whenever I try to send a message, I'm almost always only able to send an SMS. One of my other friends (Friend 3) informs me that all my SMSes sent since Friend 2 turned off his iMessage have been going to a different thread, the one from months ago with Friend 1's number entered incorrectly. I can see every message that everyone else sends in the thread, including those of Friend 1, whose contact info is still correct. Occasionally when I open the thread I'll be able to send an iMessage, which everyone receives, but most of the time I'm only able to send SMSes, which go to the broken thread that everyone except Friend 1 can see. On my phone, though, it looks like I'm sending and receiving every message in the same thread with all the info correct, and every message that any of my friends send in either thread comes into the one thread on my phone with Friend 1's number entered correctly.
Whenever I text Friend 1 individually or in any thread that doesn't have Friend 2 (who turned off iMessage) in it, everything works perfectly. I have no problem in any other iMessage conversation. But the thread with all of us in it together presents these problems where any time I'm not able to send iMessages, the SMSes appear to me to be sent in the same thread, but for everyone else (except Friend 1 who can't see them at all) they go into the old broken thread.
To clarify, whether or not I'm able to send iMessages seems to turn on and off arbitrarily between texts, that is to say, it doesn't seem to be corrolated to whether or not anyone in the thread is or isn't connected to the network. I'll send a few SMSes in the thread, which go to the broken one, and then my phone will be able to send one iMessage, and I can wait as long as I want to send it- the capability doesn't go away with time, but as soon as I send the one iMessage I can't send any more. That iMessage goes to the good thread, and then it'll turn back to SMS for either a random period of time or a random quota of SMSes sent, I can't tell.
Basically I can't understand how this could be happening. I don't get how I could be sending these texts to a number that I don't have in my phone. I don't get why iMessage seems to turn on and off arbitrarily for me alone in this one group thread. I also don't understand how someone (Friend 2) with iMessage turned off can be receiving iMessages in a group thread but can't send them himself or receive them when someone texts him alone, but that's not a problem, just a related curiosity.
I know this is a huge explanation, but I just wanted to be as thorough as possible. If any clarification is needed just let me know. Thank you guys for any help you can provide.

No problem. However, like I said earlier, music is a sync, no problem since that content is on a computer. Contacts and calendar is a sync, no problem since that content is on a computer as well. Just make sure there is a file backup of those components. The next thing is to save pictures and other data. I suggest you have a sync of both computers to the phone, and then do a backup on your personal computer. I would also import the pictures to the personal computer as a bakup, however you can keep them in the Camera Roll if you want after you have imported them. This ensures you have data backed up. Restore the new phone to the backup on your personal computer. Make sure it is set to only sync music.You should get your data, and then it can resync the music. Make sure the work computer is only setup to sync manually and to sync just contact and calendar data and nothing else. Connect the phone to that computer and sync. You should get your contacts and calendar. Now you might get a warning box saying the iPhone is synced to another library, but don't worry since the work computer is not setup to sync music. Now remember, this is my 2cents worth based on what information you provided. You cand decide if you want to do this or not and you make your choices on your own.

How can I send email using two different email address that both link back to my one exchange account on my Ipad mini

How can I send email using two different email address that both link back to my one exchange account on my Ipad mini?
On my PC I simply have a master return email address and use a POP for the secondary address. Both are through the one exchange account without a problem. I need to be able to do the same on my Ipad.

Ah, I should have made that clear. My domain didn't come from google. It was purchased at and is hosted at dreamhost, but I haven't used their email servers in years - I just route everything through gmail. I actually have a bunch of domains (with websites).
Gmail has an option that lets someone with custom domains send (and receive) email through gmail using the custom domain once Google confirms proper ownership of the domain (to prevent spammers and such). Gmail has a setting for "send email as" which allows gmail to be sent using a custom domain as the sender. I'm pretty sure Apple's old mobileme had this feature too, but I didn't use it.

Is there a way to run two different threads indefinitely

I have two different threads and they both are doing different tasks.... I want them to be running indefinitely....
i want the threads to run indefinetly passing the control between one another( anyway, passing the control is unpredicatable)
I dont want the tasks to be run in a infinite loop but the threads itself, which are doing their respective tasks.....

vinney_143 wrote:
anyway, with respect to what i understood, this is what i tried.............. i thought of calling the start() methods within a loop but it should be throwing illegalThreadStateException. so, i came to this forum to seek some help on this.
If i am gonna put the loop inside the threads, i dont think that serves my purposes of calling two threads indefinitely and not doing a task in each thread indefinitely........Threads have states: NEW, RUNNABLE, BLOCKED, WAITING, TERMINATED. When you create a thread (as an instance of thread) it is in NEW state. When you call start() on the thread instance it goes into RUNNABLE state. Process scheduler chooses a thread in runnable pool and runs it on the processor. When a thread goes to RUNNABLE etc states it can not go to NEW state (thats illegal). From a RUNNABLE state thread can only go to BLOCKED, WAITING or TERMINATED states. You can't call start() on the thread more than once. Once a thread is terminated (TERMINATED state) it can't go to NEW state either. Once start() is called the thread is started and you write logic that determines when the thread is terminated. Thats the reason why you got an IllegalThreadStateException.
while(true) {
    thread.start(); // throws IllegalThreadStateException
}Heres one way to keep thread running till a certain condition is met.
class MyThread extends Thread {
    public void run() {
        while(true) {
            boolean condition = //
            if(condition) {
                return; // terminates thread because run() returns
}Hope this helps.

How to re-use one SOAP Sender Channel for two different messages?

Hi!
I have an XI Proxy to SOAP Sync Scenario. 5 messages uses only 2 channels - cc_XI_Sender and cc_SOAP_Receiver. All messages comes from one Sender Channel and goes to one Receiver channel, and it works fine.
When I make the same for SOAP to XI Proxy Sync Scenario, I've got a problem. For example I have 2 different messages (mi_so_MSG_ONE and mi_so_MSG_TWO), so it works, if I had a two different sender channels (cc_SOAP_R1 and cc_SOAP_R2).
If I set the same Sender Channel in both Sender Agreements (cc_SOAP_R1), only one message (mi_so_MSG_ONE) goes without errors. When I send a second message (mi_so_MSG_TWO), in SXMB_MONI this message comes from Business System (BS_TEST) as message type one (mi_so_MSG_ONE), and then in stage of transformation in Interface Determination goes to message mapping program for other kind of messages (MM_MSG_ONE_to_XI_PROXY). And then - error in message mapping.
I try many URLs for both messages:
1) http://host:port/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=:BS_TEST:cc_SOAP_R1&version=3.0&Sender.Service=&Interface=
2) http://host:port/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=:BS_TEST:cc_SOAP_R1&version=3.0&Sender.Service=BS_TEST&Interface=*
3) http://host:port/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=:BS_TEST:cc_SOAP_R1&version=3.0&Sender.Service=BS_TEST&Interface=...MyNameSpace...mi_so_MSG_TWO
Message in payload:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>

<MSG_TWO xmlns="urn:xxx:yyy:MyNameSpace" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">... some fields... </MSG_TWO>
But in SOAP Header I see that is NOT second message!
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>

Is it correct that many kinds of messages cannot goes through one Sender Channel ? If not... How can I reuse one SOAP Sender Channel for both this messages?
Thanks for helping.

Thanks for answers!
It means a webservice application will be deployed and exposed in PI using the associated Message Interface and its namespace information in the SOAP Sender channel.
It means only one Sender Channel per one pair of names (name of Message Interface and name of namespace). And it will fail if I change something. And question is: why URL for sending SOAP message contains parameter "Interface"?
"backward compatibility" or "for future use only"?
Nothing happens when I change this parameter, seems that name of Interface comes from first of founded Sender Agreements.
If the structures are the same
No. Structures are different.
Making one structure per all SOAP incoming messages looks workable, but... looks strange (in fact I have a lot of SOAP messages, more than 100 Sender channels).
I found an information, that I can use one Sender channel per many messages with different structures only if I make this messages like different Operations in one Service Interface (in PI 7.1).
But in this case in list of messages in SXMB_MONI I will see only a one name of Service Interface for all my messages and it's not so comfortably for supporting: to take a name of operation that fails I need to goes inside.
In older version of XI (prior 7.1) using one sender channel per many messages allowed without any hints.

HT201263 After attempting to restore my iPhone several times on two different laptops, I have not success. My iPhone is locked with a passcode and I must enter it. The wrong passcode is what disabled my iPhone. What can I do?

I cannot restore my iPhone after several attempts on two different laptops. This is the message, "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPhone before it can be used with iTunes." I don't have that option on my iPhone because I locked myself out, it reads "iPhone is disabled, connect to iTunes" what can I do?

Place your phone in DFU mode (search Google) and restore. You will lose all data on the phone.

Why does my iPhone send texts instead of iMessages occasionally?

I will be in a lengthy conversion and I will look back at the conversation and several of my messages will have been sent as texts. These cost me a fee every single time. Why can't iMessage send iMessages each time? This problem causes iMessage to be of little or no use to me because rather than saving me money it is costing me money. Do I literally have to stop and verify each time that it isn't sending a text? How can I force my phone not to send texts at all, only iMessages to my iMessage users?

I'm not sure you read my post correctly. I am in a lengthy conversation and SOME of my messages will be texts. Some of them are also sent as iMessages. This means that I am conversing with an iPhone and that they have iMessage turned on. iMessaging a non-iPhone would is obviously impossible. So, it is a phone that I was sending iMessages to and at some point they changed over to texts but I didn't notice because I was in a conversation and assumed they would keep sending as iMessages. In my view, it should notify you or something if you've just sent an iMessage to someone and then a few seconds later you send another message and it turns out to be a text. It makes it rather difficult to use since you have to verify every single time your reply is indeed being sent as an iMessage.

Someone is sending texts from a different phone

How do I stop someone from sending texts from my number? They've hacked my account. I even changed mu number and said person found me again. Help!

Have you changed the password on your Apple ID? If not, you need to do that now. Make sure it's a strong password that nobody will be able to guess.

Is it possible to send an iPhone's music into two different iTunes?

Is it possible to have an iPhone sync to another iTunes and have all the songs put in there? My old iTunes got deleted from switching computers, now the last remaining memory of the songs are in my iPhone and I hope I can re-enter them into my new computer. So if you know if I can or cannot put the songs into the new computer please tell me, I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

No I don't think that is possible to do.

Syncing iphone to iTunes on two different computers...

Hello everyone.
So I have been wrestling with these trying to find a solution for my issue.
I think this is a two part question.
I have iPhone that I use for both home and work. I have some music, apps and such on it. Basically, when at work, I plug it in to let it charge and do the same at home.
Now, the problem is, I cannot sync my iphone correctly. Seems like my home is different from work and I always end up having to reinstall my apps, download pics and music.
Is there a way to get around this, so I can plug in my iPhone into either iTunes location and it will be the same? I cant seem to figure it out.
The other thing I was hoping to get answered is, I subscribe to a lot of podcasts through iTunes. I usually do this at work on my Mac there. Is there anyway to get the podcasts that I subscribe to at work, to show up on my Mac at home?
Appreciate the help.
Jas

I'm pretty certain you can't have your podcasts show up on your iTunes from a different library but there are some third-party softwares that will allow to you transfer music etc. back to your mac.
I'm not too familiar with the iPhone but there are a few similarities with the iPod.
Unless you 'manually manage' your iPhone then you can put music (and am assuming applications) on it from different libraries. You should be able to listen to your music from other sources when your iPhone is connected.
If at any point you revert to automatically syncing you iPhone it will only sync the contents of the library you've synced it to.

IPhone sending texts

I just got my iPhone 5 Thursday and I had to wait for it to work a few days for my number to transfer to my new sim as I changed network and wanted my old number still. The Internet works fine and I call people, however if people text or call me it comes through on a phone with my old sim? Can anyone help me out? It says I'm connected to Vodafone on my iPhone and I have signal but my old phone says I'm still connected to Orange, can anyone help me out with this please??

This happens all the time for me. However, it's only because I fat-fingered the O or P keys. They're dangerously close to the SEND key. Watch next time it happens... did you just press the O or P?

HT4191 SYNCING TWO DIFFERENT IPHONES TO ITUNES WITH TWO DIFFERENT SETS OF CONTACTS !! DO I NEED TO HAVE TWO SEAPARATE CONTACT FOLDERS ON MY PC BEFORE I SYNC EACH IPHONE?

Can anyone help me with this? Two separate iphones need backing up to itunes which is fine for music photos etc apart from the contacts as we dont want the contacts to get mixed up off both phones on the same contacts folder.

Hello, gref1975
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
The best option would be to create separate user account on the computer that you separately use to sync with. This keeps contact and calendar data from being merged together. You can however still sync or share media with each user by following the steps in the second article below.
Create multiple user accounts
Do you share your computer with someone who has different tastes in music and media? You can create separate user accounts for each person who uses the computer. You can maintain separate, personalized iTunes libraries and customize each devices' sync settings accordingly.

My iphone send Text message to apple 30cent

Hallo this is a hot topic on many forums in Italy about that all iphones are sending a text message to this number in UK 00447860015 **** no one have an answer to this threat and what it seems if for sure that all italian company are not involve since I call my company and they said is an Iphone ios8 issue.
Can someone tell me more about, and if there is any way to fix or avoiding to pay those 30cent sometime 2/3 time for month.
Thank you
Mark
ps: I have attached the extract from my text message charge

FaceTime and iMessage, as I said, send SMS messages to Apple's server in the UK to activate and re-activate the service. Every iPhone in the world does the same thing. That's about a half a billion phones. Apple has an agreement with partner carriers to not charge for the reactivation messages. It would seem that TIM is not honoring that agreement. It has nothing to do with the iPhone or the version of iOS. Most carriers do honor it. As TIM is a supported carrier they should honor the agreement also. If they do not you have to confront TIM about why they are charging you for a service that they have agreed to provide for free under their contract with Apple. Either that, or TIM does not know that you are using an iPhone with their service.

Duplicate texts to two different handsets on same account

I have upgraded both mine and my wife's phones to latest software but we use one I tunes account!
Why are we receiving copies of each others SMS messages meant for other people?
If I text her I et a copy of my text sent back to me
Eveytime my wife gets a text from a friend I get a copy and then of the reply my wife sends back!
Please help!!!'n

Go to settings-store-and turn off automatic downloads. Then go to settings-icloud or settings-mail contacts and calendar (which ever one shares an account between the devices) and turn off contact syncing on the phone that you dont want it to sync to.
