Messages won't randomize incoming bubble colors
This is not an IMPORTANT question, but it's really obnoxious and I want a fix.
One thing I loved about Adium was the ability to set my incoming messages to random colors - every new chat came in a new color. It was fun!
But Messages won't do that. EVEN THOUGH I have my incoming messages color set to "random."
Now of a set of 5 friends -- they'll all be a different color. But no matter what I do, a new chat with any particular friend keeps a single color. My friend J always always ALWAYS has pink bubbles. W always always ALWAYS has blue bubbles. Is this just me? How do I make "random" truly randomize my incoming messages?

What application are you using to view and print your emails? (Mail, Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Sparrow, Thunderbird, etc).
Your profile indicates you are running 10.6.4. Is that information still current? If not, I suggest installing all available software updates. There have been many OS and printer driver updates since 10.6.4.

How can you change the bubble color in the message app on the iphone 5
How can you change the bubble color in the message app on the iphone 5?
If you are having trouble reading your texts you can increase the font size until it becomes clear. Put in a feature request for the colour change though, it won't happen unless people ask for it.

IOS 7 - Change message bubble color?, IOS 7 - Change message bubble color?
I'm guessing we still can't change the message bubble colors? It was just annoying before. Now it is a necessity.
The vivid green/white on a white background just makes it hard to see/read for SMS messages...I can go as far as saying that it hurts my eyes. The blue and white are almost as bad for iMessages. I tried inverting the colors in the accessibility settings which helpped for the messaging and made everything else unsuable.
If I can't change the colors I will have to revert the OS (same colors but with black text and less vivid gradients) or change to a phone/OS that allows for better customization/ accessability options. This really *****...I have had a iPhone for a long time.Just downloaded the IOS 7 and I want to go back to the previous IOS now!
I am disappointed in the color changes of the new icons with the IOS 7. Within an hour after downloading the new IOS 7 I have been trying to change the text messaging bubble color. I cannot deal with the bright piercing chartreuse green color of the message bubble. This horrible chartreuse green color with the white letters on a white screen number one, hurts my eyes, number two, I cannot read it. I want the nice pale blue with black letters back that I had before I upgraded. Even the color of green on the previous IOS was more pleasing to the eyes than this horrible bright piercing chartreuse green color you have now. I cannot cope with it at all.
If I cannot have a different color bubble (how silly not to give your customer what they want) or allow for me to go back to the older operating system until you change your mind, I will have no alternative but to leave Apple iPhone, iPad behind because your current operating system is hurting my eyes literally and I cannot look at the screen without getting a headache or read my text messages any longer because of the color choice that you have made with no other option for me to choose from.
Now can we talk??? Can the customers get what they want or do you lose more customers due to this horrible color scheme and the refusal to listen to what your customers want, need and desire? -
Incoming messages won't print out
This morning several email messages won't print out. If the incoming message is a reply to my email and that reply contains my original email in the response, only my email prints out. The reply and sender info are blank in the printout.

How do you change text bubble color on iPhone4?
I do not want to Jailbreak my iphone4 but I want to change the bubble color on my texts. I see on the iOS 4 preview that the text bubble color is light blue. How do I change mine?

iMessage is completely free only if you are on wifi. If you are on 3G, it will use your carrier to send an iMessage, therefore it counts towards your messaging rates. If the message is green to another iPhone user, that means that your service hasn't recognized it as an iPhone.
iMessages do NOT count toward messaging rates on 3G. They use the 3G data allowance. Messages to other iOS users can be in green (sent as SMS) if the user doesn't have an active data connection (either 3G or WiFi) at the time. -
For some reason my iPhone 4 won't take incoming calls and everytime someone phones me it goes straight to voicemail what's gone wrong??
Look at the AT&T VVM User Guide for help setting up your visual voice mail.
If you still have problems, contact AT&T Customer Service at 1-800-331-0500 and ask them to check that your account is provisioned for an iPhone 4. -
I have the newest version of the iPad (3rd generation) with wifi. The messaging won't send out but I'm receiving messages from others when I'm using it. They also come through on my iphone at the same time. But I can't send them out on the iPad. I tried someone's suggestion of changing the DNS to 8.8.8.8 and that did not work to fix it. What is wrong with this thing? Thank you in advance for your help.
Are you trying to send a message to a cell number or an email address? iPad does MMS, not SMS, meaning it can't send a message to a number. It can send a message to an email address........

J6480 Ink Cartridge Door Hinges Broke. Door Open error message won't let me print. What can I do?
Have always been very careful with cartridge & scanner doors. Pressing OK doesn't remove error message. Broken hinges will no longer go down, so Door Open message won't go away and preventing printing.
The problem is the spring tension used to hold the cover open is stronger than the poorly designed weak hinges.
The way I solved it was to break both the hinges, (pretty easy to do just open and close the cover a few times), lift the cover up being carefull not to break the ribbon cable (wires) from the cover to the base. Then I pryed out the lower spring plates, these are located in the hinge assembly of the printer and removed the black plastic plunger and the large springs below it from both hinges. The cover wil now stay closed and allow you to print. You just have to be careful when changing the print cartridges as the cover can open too far now and possibly break the wires going to the top cover.
Happy Printing -
HP Color Laserjet 2605dn won't print the red color
My HP Color Laserjet 2605dn won't print the red color. It's comes out very light, barely a pink color. It's not the ink cartridge because it's full and I'm having this problem even when I change cartridges.
Hello dp146,
I understand your concerns. Unfortunately, I need to direct you to our Enterprise Business Community Forums.
This will be the right section to troubleshoot this issue.
Good luck.

I've received an error messagae that says my message can't be sent. Unfortunately, the recipient list is so long I can't see the bottom of the error message to click "Try again" or another option. The message won't scroll. How can I get to the bottom of the message?
Many Thanks, Kurt.
I knew I'd seen the solution you've provided somewhere - either in MacWorld or MacFormat - but couldn't remember the Gatekeeper bit!
I shall save it somewhere VERY safe now in case this happens again …
You have made an old man very happy and saved me from worrying that senile decay had suddenly set in. (I was 70 last week so you might understand the situation from that.)
Best wishes

Error Message:Can't print illustration. Color Management systems inconsistent.
I am getting this error message, "Can't print illustration. Color management systems are inconsistent." I just upgraded to CS5(from CS2) on a Dell Studio using an Epson WorkForce 1100 or an Epson Sylus NX400. I am a rank amateur in AI & have no idea how to fix this. I do not seem to have the option to turn off color management in either of my printers to default to AI. All I am trying to print are some labels using regular fonts and a few smoke brushes for color. These are not wildly colorful or complicated. I KNOW I should be using a Mac but I do not have one...sigh...
Thanks for ANY help.
Marion.not sure I understand the core problem...but what happens if you Save As "Adobe PDF" and Convert to your Print Space there in Output (then print from Acrobat or place in InDesign, heck maybe even open the .pdf in Ai and try again):

Visited links using Safari on my iPad 2 won't stay the "visited" color
Visited links using Safari on my iPad 2 won't stay the "visited" color after I close the tab, put the iPad in sleep mode (or whatever it's called), or when I power off the iPad.
There are certain sites I visit where it comes in very handy to be able to see which links I've already clicked on. The links will stay the "visited" color during the time I'm on the site, but later they all go back to the "unvisited" color.
Is there any way I can fix this on an iPad?Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

IPhone messages won't delete, can't free enough space?
Hello,
I'm on an iPhone 4S with iOS 7.1.1. I'm almost out of storage... I have 8.96 GB of "Documents & Data" and 8.51 GB of "Other."
Usage in settings indicates that I have 8.8 GB of messages saved. So I have to delete my messages. However, even after I restart, all my messages reappear and I have not freed any space. How come the messages keep reappearing when I try to delete them? Is there a way for me to delete them permanently?
And, what is this "other" category that is taking up so much space? I know that other used to be app data, but now with iOS 7 that has been split up into "Documents & Data."
So, how come my messages won't delete? Is there a way for me to permanently delete them to free space?
And how can I clear up space from my "Other" category?
Thanks so much for the help!There is corrupted data on the phone. You need to restore the phone using iTunes, without restoring a backup.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
