Messages duplicated

I'm using Messages app on my MBP, sending texts to my daughters who have iPhones.  They both tell me that they often get duplicate messages, not all the time, but quite frequently.  I can find no similarities or patters between when they get a duplicate and when they don't, it apparently happens quite randomly.  I also text my sons and husband (who do not {gasp!} have iPhones) and they have never received a duplicate text.  Sometimes messages are sent with SMS and sometimes with iMessage - but there is no connection between that and when they report a duplication.
Any help or suggestions?  Their complaints are turning into whines. 

Hi,
I sometime get this.
Today for instance it snowed during the night  (about 2" - south of England snow seen about twice each year)
I ride a motor bike to work.
Today though I left the house early 7.00 AM) thinking the snow would be broken up by the traffic.
Instead it got pressed smooth and icy.
My wife text (SMS) me as I got to work to check I had got there and I replied SMS.
I also SMSed my son who leave later giving him a description of the roads.
When I got Home this evening I got an iMessages copy on my iPhone from my son.
I later got the one from my wife as well.
When I turned on the Mac I got both  the SMS and the iMessages  from my son.
However I don't see the versions sent from my iPhone.
This all took place over nearly 12 hours  (Mac Pic)
It has obviously varied when I have iMessages access (At home only)
It has also varied when my wife has had no WiFi Access (the last message).
So there can be a whole range of changes at either end that can cause this.
Some of it relates to the number of devices that can get iMessages that might be Off line which the iMessages server will store the iMessages for.

  • Emails messages duplicated in the inbox

    After various iOS updates, I am still having issues with some email messages being duplicated in the INBOX view. Are others having the same issue?

    Try going into the advanced fetch settings and turn fetching for the one account to manual. (And don't use the unified inbox since it will try to fetch from all accounts.)

  • Messages duplicating sent links

    Have tried to search the support forums to see if anyone else has this problem, no luck finding anything.....
    Using Messages (beta) with OS X 1.7.5 Lion, and basically whenever I IM a link to anyone, they get it duplicated, making it return a 404 error when they click on it.......example below:
    I send:  http://www.exampleurl.com
    They get:  http://www.exampleurl.comhttp://www.exampleurl.com
    This happens no matter what IM client the recipient uses, but most (not all) of them use Yahoo Messenger.
    Has anyone else had this problem and (hopefully) found a fix for it?

    Hi,
    I only have one Yahoo account so I cannot do a round robin test with myself on another computer.
    I have not heard of this either.

  • Messages duplicating themselves randomly.....

    Hi everyone, 
    this is my first post here in the forums, so please go easy on me if I"m in the wrong place )
    If started having a problem with some messages I type automatically duplicating themselves within the post. The copy is always prefixed with a Union Jack flag icon and the whole duplicated post appears within brackets. Does anyone know what causes this? Its not consistent with every message, just a random thing. My friend suggested that perhaps my account has been hacked, but I'm not so sure. Could it have something to do with the language settings on my account?
    Hope someone can offer some advise.
    thanks
    Monica 

    I dont know how its caused I get the same problem

  • Message duplicated after moving

    Hi all,
    an user has report to me that when he move a messge from his mailbox to his pst file he find a copy of this message in the recover deleted items window.
    I've tryed to do the same from my client and I also have the same situation. I suppose that this is normal.
    Could you please confirm to me this situation?
    Outlook 2010 with Exchange 2010.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I actually reproduced the same on my Outlook 2010.
    I would also say this is "normal", once the email is moved to the .pst file, Outlook regards it as "removed" from the Exchange Account, thus it appears in "Recover Deleted Items" so that we can recover it if we accidently moved the mail or even we
    forgot it was moved to the .pst file. In my opinion, it's more secure, isn't it?

  • Newly installed Mail app has just gone WILD!!!

    Everything was fine in Mail until I created a new accounts for my new MobileMe email address. Now I have these problems:
    1. I can no longer send mail from the .mac aliases, only from the main account. My password, even though identical to the main password, is not accepted on the aliases.
    2. I am getting two, three or more copies of every email, and not just new ones; even my emails from last year are being duplicated.
    3. When I receive email from one particular address I get a copy every second or so, without limit. This makes my computer very hot and I have to dispose of the extras quickly and then quit as soon as possible. It's a mail merged email with an embedded rota which I have generated myself from a website I help to run and has always performed perfectly well in the past. My internet connection appears to be running at normal speed, however. Today I sent one which appeared as sixteen emails before I clicked the triangle to open the folder. It then became 164! Rebuilding the mailbox has little effect. I think it may have stopped one message duplicating but it certainly didn't work today.
    The scariest part of all this (apart from losing email like I'm keeping it in a colander) is that while this email is busy multiplying in my inbox, a selection of my 2008 emails is being sent to people on the list; in the middle of the duplicating file mayhem my husband 'phoned from work to complain that he was receiving my old email at the same sort of rate that I was receiving copies of the rota.
    And then my daughter complained the same was happening to her. And then I found I'd had it all emailed to me as well - so now the old emails I haven't lost are sitting there, apparently unread, with incorrect dates and five or six copies of each one! I'm wondering how many of my friends have been treated to a selection of fifty or so of my old emails and what I might have written about them in 'confidence'! Not that I'm given to mouthing off about people in emails but without reading them all I wonder just what might be in them.
    4. When I try to delete the second, third and fourth copies of other emails I will suddenly find that other unselected emails, usually from just below in the list, have disappeared along with them and I have to retrieve them from the trash. The alternative is to click 'Undo' but I have to do that about three times before the missing file reappears - and then I have to try and re-delete three files without losing any others in the process. This is hopeless - it's one step forwards and three steps backwards. I also have to memorise which files are around the one I wish to delete before carrying out the action so I will know if anything else has gone.
    5. A few days ago I tried to open Mail and found that ALL my email for this year had disappeared. I found some mail from mid July to August in the bin, but all my other 2008 mail was gone. 2007 is still there. I opened it today and found that a random remnant of my 2008 email was in my inbox, but only about a twentieth of the original contents.
    6. I'm so glad I still have Entourage installed on my old computer because it's working just fine, apart from the issue I've outlined under point 1. I've retrieved all sorts of important emails from it.
    This copy of Mail should be working very well. I only did a fresh system install on a new hard drive about a month ago and everything else is working fine (except a couple of finder windows that just vanished suddenly the other day).
    Sorry this is long but I've tried to put several entries into one post. I originally posted this on the wrong forum - it was for MobileMe Mail, but I didn't notice the enclosing folder which was MobileMe on iPhone and iPod Touch; I am using MobileMe on my MacBook Pro. Space Herpes suggested I repost it on this forum to get more help. I had six copies of the email notification of his post so I am going ahead as this HAS to get sorted!

    I've left it for a few days before responding because for some reason I hardly got any email for a couple of days and it didn't seem to be completely fixed at first as my rules took a while to kick in again and some junk appeared in my inbox. I've also been too busy to worry about it this week - daughter is starting Uni at the weekend and it's all a mad panic to set her up to move out! Apologies that I posted this on the first thread where this question went before I was prompted to move it to a more appropriate place. I didn't realise I was on the wrong board.
    I have had a fair amount of messages today and I'm pleased to say I've only had one copy of everything and the subjects are back to normal - so thank you very, very much as you seem to have solved my problems. I notice that I only have the account for my [email protected] email address and I do wonder whether I need to have an account for the xxxxxx.me.com address as well? Was that possibly responsible for some of the duplicates? Are they interchangeable in Mail?
    Despite the fix I do still have the corruption in my inbox, though. I've lost many, many emails and all the problems I mentioned before seem to be permanent in my 2008 mail. I have loads of duplicate copies and the subjects are all mixed up. I also have quite a few recent messages that didn't get downloaded from the server because it thought I was offline.
    On my old computer I have everything as it was before. Would it be possible to copy them across somehow without losing my sent mail from this computer - or should I just be content to go to my old computer if I want to refer to anything I've lost?

  • TS3276 Trouble with mail running slow

    My mail is running very slowly and it looks as if I have more messages saved and coming in that I believe I actually have.  I also have a message that reads "connection logging enabled" at the top that seemed to appear about a month ago and I don't know what it means.  Any reason for mail running slow, mail messages duplicating multiple times and for trash not emptying as it should?

  • Problem with WorkShop 3.2 when lanching tomcat

    hi!I met a problem with debugging projects in WorkShop.
    I'm using tomcat 5.5.17 in WorkShop studio 3.2.All my server configurations are default!When debugging,I just right clicked on the project and chose "debug on server",then tomcat lanched.During that time,something weird happened.I found my project was deployed twice,and I also found that one was deployed as context "dms"(project's directory name),another as context "web"(project's real context).
    I tried all means to solve this problem.Finally I got one.I set two attributes of host tag to false from server.xml,deployOnStartup and autoDeploy.It works.But I don't think it is the best way.so my questions is: is this a workshop deploy bug?
    I guess it is.This is what I found from tomcat document.I think it may help us to slove this problem.
    "When using automatic deployment, the docBase defined by an XML Context file should be outside of the appBase directory. If this is not the case difficulties may be experienced deploying the web application or the application may be deployed twice.
    Finally, note that if you are defining contexts explicitly, you should probably turn off automatic application deployment. Otherwise, your context will be deployed twice each, and that may cause problems for your app. "
    Maybe workshop should use the web context name as project directory name when deploying and do not define the context explicitly in server.xml.

    hi, I just do the same thing as you do!The problem still exists!
    if you go to Tomcat Web Application Manager page and have a look at the applications you deployed. You will find your project is deployed twice with two different context(context root and project directory name as context root).
    note:if you don't have access to the manager page,you can try the following:
    -edit the settings for the server
    -find 'Run modules directly from the workspace(do not modify the Tomcat installation)' setting and uncheck the checkbox before it
    -then save your changes.
    Doing this you can deploy your project directly to the appbase of your tomcat server directory.Then you will have access to the manager page with the url "http://localhost:8080/manager/html".
    Also you may take a closer look at the output of your workshop console,you will find some output messages duplicated.
    This problem originally starts from workshop 3.1.There is no such issue before 3.0 and lower versions.
    Workshop studio was once an fatastic tool.But after integrated with WTP things have been changed.The biggest trouble is it costs too much memory.and some import features such as AJAX support,javascript debugger aren't available to us.I feel a little disappointed.:(
    Hope you guys will fix those defects.
    Regards!

  • Duplication of emails

    BB World 8830
    I have one envelope for my Shaw e-mails - and am receiving duplicate e-mails for the same one individual message.
    So if I get a email from xyz company - I seem to be getting that about 10 times over.
    How do I stop this?
    Is there a way to delete or Select ALL emails in that message screen - so all emails are deleted at once?
    Also, I have a work email address - and originally set up a forwarding or re-direction (automatically) from my shaw email account to this one and vise versa - so now the emails (I've been told) are looping. But which re-direction do I delete, so I still receive all e-mails into my shaw account?
    [email protected] - redirected to [email protected]
    [email protected] - redirected to [email protected]
    To enable all emails from both accounts into shaw - which one do I stop the re-direction of?
    Any help greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    -Delete that one message (duplicating) from your shaw webmail.
    -You can delete all messages by moving your cursor to todays date and then push menu and choose 'delete prior'
    [email protected] - redirected to [email protected]
    [email protected] - redirected to [email protected]
    To enable all emails from both accounts into shaw - which one do I stop the re-direction of?
    You want to recevie both work and shaw mail on BB?
    there are few options: you can individually integrate both into your BB and stop forwarding from both.
