IMessage keeps switching from Imessage to text

I'll be in the middle of a conversation with someone and it will switch from IMessage to a text message. Why does it do that? Because sometimes when it does that I don't always get the messages when it switches to text messages.

I also have the same problem! Does someone from apple asnswer this? Are we being charge text message cost?

How to switch from iMessage to text message?

How do i switch from a iMessage to a text message? Since i depend on wifi for my iMessaging i don't always have access to it
also, I dont feel like waiting 5 mins for my iMessage to automatically send as a text message if my recipent does not have access to data or wifi, is there an easier way than waiting for it to autiomatically send?
Thanks

your response doesn't help the overall problem. For anyone with no data plan and only using wifi like mel_222 and myself, the iphone will not be able to send a message to these people who the phone has recognized as having ios5 unless the phone has a wifi connection because it is an imesssage. I am having the same problem, hopefully someone will know how to switch it. Hopefully this clarifies for anyone who might be able to answer. Luckily I will have a data plan kick in in a week, but I am sure some people who buy the phone outright will be faced with this issue.

Why do my messages keep disappearing from Notification Centre?

I've only noticed this since upgrading to iOS 7.1 and I can't find any answers anywhere on the Internet. As the title states: why do my messages keep disappearing from Notification Centre? Usually after an hour or two. The badge on the app icon will stay and if I get another message, the new one shows up in Notification Centre, again just for a while.

Salvizuno -
did you ever solve this problem? i just upgraded to the 5s and my notifications disappear... and it is very frustrating. i have called apple support, gone to the apple store, swapped out my phone but with no luck... can you advise if and how you fixed the problem please?
thanks!

CSS Designer keeps switching from the media query I want to edit to Global

CSS Designer keeps switching from the media query I want to edit to Global. How can I keep it in the same editing mode so that I'm not all of a sudden making global changes instead of confined to the particular media query?

I feel your pain. I see that using styles apply to the entire paragraph.
So I have a kluge until some really bright minds step in.
Open the Pages document that you need to edit.
Have in memory a single word that is in (red) in your desired font style.
Just type a word in (red), make your font color adjustments. Copy the (red) word into memory. Delete from the document. I put this in parantheses.
Paste the (red) word where you want to make an edit
Sample
I have to edit papers that require me to type red words into each sentence, sometimes several times per sentence.
Every time I write a word in red, the next time I click into the sentence (or anywhere else on the document), the color defaults back to black.
So let's say you want three edits. I am showing all three, but you'd just do it as you encounter things that need correcting.
Sample
I have to edit papers that require me to type red words into each sentence, sometimes several times per sentence (red).
Every time I write (red) a word in red, the next time I click (red) into the sentence (or anywhere else on the document), the color defaults (red)back to black.
Type directly into the (red) or double click on red and make your edit(s) one at a time.

Sample
I have to edit papers that require me to type red words into each sentence (only those that needs correcting), sometimes several times per sentence (that sounds painful).
Every time I write (you mean type, not write) a word in red, the next time I click (with the mouse) into the sentence (or anywhere else on the document), the color defaults (reverts) back to black.

How to switch 1 contact from iMessage to Text Message?

I have a friend who switched from an iPhone to a GalaxyS4, so they don't get my iMessages anymore, and it won’t convert them to text message. We have delete the contact and added him as it was new and still it wants to set messages as an iMessage. We have even put the number in as mobile and not iPhone. Can anyone help, this is for my job and I need to be able to communicate with him.

Has anyone found a solution to this other than to just blame those of us who unknowingly rid ourselves of our iphones without disabling imessage? I'm having the same problem. I recently switched from my old iphone 4 which wasn't working well to an HTC One. My wife purchased the 5S and has also been happy but she and everyone else we know that has an iphone and used to send me imessages now can't get messages through to me easily because the default method is imessage. I've eliminated all of my devices on icloud, erased them from my apple id on the apple support page, and recreated the contact on my wife's phone (though I accept the problem is not on her end at all.)
Aside from accusing me of being an idiot for erasing and turning in my phone to Verizon without disabling imessage, does anyone have a constructive solution to the problem? My old iphone isn't coming back.

IPhone won't change from iMessage to text message

My colleague had iPhone then had to get rid of it. He no longer gets my texts as my phone is still using iMessage to text him. I erased his cell number and re-entered it and that did not work. What can I do to make my iPhone use text messaging to him now?

He should have turned off iMessage on his old phone before getting rid of it. If he ever registered it with Apple, he might be able to do the following:
Go to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
Log in if not already logged in.
Click on "edit products"
Click on the "x" to the right of the product.
Click "unregister"
Unregistering it often deactivates his number with iMessage.

How can I keep acrobat from breaking apart text boxes?

I have a multipage graphic document that I am addiing text to in several stages. I just selected Add Text and entered my content into one "box" for each section I need to add but when I re-open the document the next day to continue my work, Acrobat breaks my single text box of content into multiple smaller boxes making my new edits a complete pain. Is there any way to keep this from happening? I'm running Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.06

I've been giving this some thought.
Generally, the idea of sharing design between two people by having one of them use Acrobat is a complete non-starter. And I would say use InDesign. But it does have a steep learning curve. Nevertheless, it would be the most viable way to collaborate on this project, and the most editable/maintainable for you, especially if the maps were not changing but the contact details were.
But let's look at some other alternatives. Not converting to anything else. Not graphics. Not Word. All terrible, they will leave the thing awful, or enormous, quite probably both.
If you are stuck with Acrobat I recommend a defensive approach.
1. Always keep the un-marked original.
2. Add your text.
3. If you need to edit the text, start by deleting it all.
4. If the text boxes get mixed up with the underlying graphic, give up on the page and use Replace Pages from that un-marked original; add a new caption.

How can i switch from a regular text message to iMessage for a contact

I had this contact we used iMessage but since 2 days ago it went back to regular text message, how I can put back to iMessage?

The contact and you will use iMessage - if it's available. One of you may not be on WiFi or using a cellular carrier that supports iMessage. Presumably neither of you turned off Settings > Messages > iMessage.

Cannot receive text messages after switch from iphone

After more than 2 years on an Android, my family convinced me to try an iPhone. After one week, I decided to return my iPhone and go back to Android. Now I cannot receive text messages from anyone using an iPhone. It thinks I'm still using iMessage.
I have already talked with Verizon customer service and unregistered my number from both Messages and FaceTime via my computer. Please help! This is extremely frustrating!

Appreciate the update plurrykid,
Knowing you are starting to receive them is good, but certainly we want you to receive all of them, not just random ones. I know it’s important to get them up and running as soon as possible. It will usually take Apple 24-48 hours to un-register you completely; if it has not been fully done, what you can try is resetting your Apple ID password here http://bit.ly/1kwc2va . Since you will be changing your password and the original device which still has iMessages on, will not be aware of the new password for them, it will revert to text messages. Let us know how it goes.

Switching from iPhone - No texts from iphone users

Hey there,
My girlfriend has transitioned from the iphone to the Android S4. Here is what i've done so far:
unchecked her number under imessages on her iphone
turned off imessages on her iphone
unchecked her number under imessages on her ipad
turned off imessages on her ipad
logged into her itunes account, went to manage devices, and removed both her ipad and iphone from her itunes account.
She is still not receiving texts from iphone users, and when they text her it still tries to send as an imessage, and she will not receive it until they resend as a text message. What in the world gives? This is the most frustrating thing about transitioning away from apple. Any help would be fantastic.
Thanks

i've also removed the deactivated sim card from her iphone, and turned both the iphone and ipad off of wi-fi.

Switch from HTML to Text

When I set up my yahoo email I indicated to use HTML. However in my messages I get all the code garbage. How can I switch to Text mode? Thanks
Alan

The ability to read messages formatted in HTML will be available when you update your OS to 4.5. You can either wait till your carrier releases it, or follow these steps do install 4.5 onto your phone:
After you download and install the handheld software from a carrier's website that has the 4.5 OS, do a search on your computer to find and delete the vendor.xml file. The file is most likely in the following location: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader. Afterwards just start the Desktop Manager and the software will be available for you to install.
**NOTE** - the handheld software you have must be for the same model as you have. You cannot install software for any other model.

Messages come through as iMessage then text message a few seconds later?

I have been having this problem off and on ever since I got my iPhone 4s, sometimes when someone with another iPhone messages me, the message comes through as an iMessage then a few seconds later I get the exact same message, but this time it comes through as a text message. What would cause this?

Hi, just checked. here are the details. BT Text
If BT have re arranged your account it would be best to re-register in case it has been deleted from your account.
