Message conversations cause iphone message alert problems

When we have active imessage conversations on the mac (using mountain lion of course) niether of our iphones get alerts when a messge comes in. We are not sure but it appears messages from other people (ie not the same apple id) are not bringing up alerts either. When I erase all conversations things return to normal. Surely this cant be how it is meant to work because someone using my mac can lock up the ability of all our phones to give alerts. Anyone else noticed this???

The only way to do that is to make a backup of the old phone with the coversations on it and restore to the new phone. Understand that anything that has been done on the new phone and since that backup has been done would be lost. A restore would make the new phone look like the old phone.

  • Is there any way to receive Google Talk messages in the iPhone Messages (meaning the text messaging app)?

    I want to know if there's any way to receive incoming Google Talk messages in the iPhone Messages app? What I mean by this is the app your receive text messages in. The reason I ask is because in the new "Messages" app for the Mac, you can include your Google Talk account.

    If I recall correctly, it's possible to send a Google Talk message out as an SMS (though there are apparently limits on how many in a given time period in order to prevent spam). That would be the only way as far as I know. Messages on the Mac seems to have folded some of iChat's features into it, so it works a bit differently.
    Best of luck.

  • Problems with iPhone messaging - received messages showing as sent messages and messages sent to one family member gets received by other family members.

    AT&T family plan - 4 iPhones in use by family members (4s, 4g, and two 3g's).  Weird things happen when we text message:
    1.   Sometimes, received messages look like they are sent messages - and no alert is sounded.   The conversation looks like you are talking to yourself.   Sometimes it happens to both parties in a text conversation, sometimes it only happens to one party.   Deleting the message entirely and starting over from scratch sometimes fixes the problems and sometimes doesn't fix the problem.  Once this phenomenon starts in a conversation it is almost impossible to get it to stop.  
    2.     Sometimes text messages to a specific family member get replicated to other family members as if in a group conversation - but group is turned off.   This happens sporadically but it happens.   Quite embarassing when husband and wife are sending private messages then suddenly the kids see the message on their iPhones!   Can't figure out why this happens or what makes it happen, but happens a lot!!!
    Has anyone had these problems or knows how to fix them?

    Be specific.
    Everyone?  or Every Device?
    If every device, does that mean you can no longer share apps?

    You have configured multiple devices to use the same AppleID for iMessage.
    Don't do that. iMessage is designed to sync messages between all devices configured with the same Apple ID.
    Everyone should have their own Apple ID. They were never designed to be shared.

  • IPhone iOS 8: Tapping on photo icon in messages app causes app to crash

    Issue (?ios 8 bug?): Tapping on photo icon in messages app causes app to crash. Present in ios 8.0, and also still in ios 8.0.2. iPhone 6+ 64GB.
    I just wondered if anyone else has been having this problem.
    Initially it worked great. Tapping the photo button next to the text box in message should bring up a menu with your latest photos and other sharing options. However, after the first couple of days, tapping the button brought up the menu, the phone freezes, and then after a few seconds the photo app crashes.
    Deleting most of my photos restored the function, but after another couple of days (and some more photos) it started happening again so I think perhaps it is related to the number of photos. After about 5-10 photos it loads the menu very slowly and its quite buggy. After 20+ photos it wont load the menu at all without freezing and the app crashing.
    My iphone 6+ was set up as a new phone (not restored from back-up).
    I hope this is some kind of bug that will be fixed in ios 8.0.3, but wondered if anyone else has the same problem or has any solutions?
    My workaround at the moment is just to go the photos app and either copy and paste the photo into a message, or share the photo via the photos app.

    I have this same issue with my 128 gb 6 plus.  I've tried restoring as new on a few occasions, but to no avail.  I did notice while my pc was synchronizing my apps, that the feature worked fine a few times until the synchronization was complete.  I seriously hope that the numbers of photos limits one's use of the feature, because i purchased the 128 gb 6 plus so that i could keep photos at my ready.
    Has anyone heard of a solution yet?

  • I cannot open my firefox broswer. The message box appeared that said a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. Under that there are debug and close program buttons.

  • How can I transfer Android ringtones, alerts and messages to my iPhone 5c?

    I just got a new iPhone 5c and I want to be able to use my Android ringtones, messages and alerts on it. How do I transfer them in iTunes?  It did transfer the ones that are actually music but not the others, the main ones I use.
    Also is there an app that will announce who is actually calling you, by name? or sending a message?  Like "new message from Chelsea"?  "Call from Zac"?  I got used to hearing these that I am missing it on the new phone.
    I do have an iPad mini so I'm not an extreme newbie but I never had my messages come through on it.
    Thanks for any help you can give me.

  • My iPhone 5 got problem when connect with lighting cable, this will keep pop up message "this accessory may not be supported"

    My iPhone 5 got problem when connect with lighting cable, this will keep pop up message "this accessory may not be supported", I can't charge or sync at all. I tried plug and unplug many time, still can't detect/charge my iPhone5, but sometime will 'lucky' that can connect to my iTunes and charge battery…
    This message will auto pop up also when I don't have plug anything in my iPhone 5, It is very annoying…
    The lighting cable is original and now i'm using OS 7.0.4 / iTunes is 11.1.3
    What I can do to fix this problem? Thank you.

    I would try using another cable you can likely borrow one to test from somebody
    if it's the same then likely the connector in your iphone have been damaged

    After installing reader 9, Internet Explorer gives the message: "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." everytime I close an internet window. If I remove reader 9, the problem no longer occurs. Reinstalling reader 9 causes the problem to return. I got rid of reader 8.1.4 because it was not working properly. Any suggestions about this issue?
