My iphone 5S will send texts as imessage but frequently switches to regular (green) messages even for people that I know use imessage - since we have exchanged (blue) messages previously. Is there something I can do to fix this or is it a unit problem?

Please help.

You can try to log out of iMessage and then sign back in.  However, even under optimal conditions, iMessage will not always work.  That's why the option of 'Send as SMS' is so important.  There might be temporary outages in the related iMessage servers.

  • All of my movies on itunes are stopping and starting, they won't play consistently. Is there something I can do to fix this?

    I just bought frozen on itunes for a roadtrip and when I went to play it every couple seconds the movie would pause and then start up and again. I restarted the computer, closed down all the apps and even rebooted itunes. I went to try seeing if one of my other movies would play seamlessly and none of them would play. How can I fix this? I am using a Macbook Pro Mac OS X Version 10.7.5  with a processor of 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5. The memory is 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3.

  • Since I upgraded to 7.01 (linux xubuntu) firefox seems to crash but only when on pages that have something to do with Flash. I purged flash and reinstalled and this seemed to fix it, but it's happening again now. Is there something I can do to fix this?

    I have Linux Xubuntu.
    I had 11.04, but upgraded to 11.10.'''bold text'''
    I never had a problem with firefox until I upgraded to firefox 7. I've always made changes to about:config, and have gone through my changes and none are related to this.
    I've just checked about:crashes and I've had 34 crashes since upgrading on 11.10.11
    I seemed to fix it on the 13th, as it didn't crash until the 17th, and this was done through purging flash, and then reinstalling the necessary packages.

    I fixed this problem by turning off hardware acceleration. At the time I also downgraded my flash to 10 (instead of 11).
    This option isn't available any more. But turning off hardware acceleration has seemed to fix it.

  • My ipad is running really slow. Is there something I can do to fix it I keep getting kicked off the internet. I have always had a good signal

    You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
    Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
    If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

    Have yu tried the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • The new version of Firefox does not seem to allow multi-touchscreen pinch/zoom feature. Is this a bug or is there something I can do to fix the problem? Thanks.

    Since the new version of Firefox (which I love, esp the reduced menu bars at the top, leaving more web page viewable space), I am unable to use the multi-touch pinch/zoom function to resize pages. the scrolling still works, and all worked fine before.
    Is this a bug or is there something I can do to fix it?
    Thanks for your time.
    Mx

    Not a fix but if it's just a web site here and there that you find yourself using the pinch zoom feature you can use the IE Tab 2 addon to automatically use the ie engine and the zoom works.
    You lose the other firefox features on those pages but as I said, if it's just a few sites it's worth a look.
    I sure hope the Mozilla community fixes this in their desktop PC version soon. You can't gripe if it's free so I just keep waiting. :)
    Their android and iOS version supports it so why not the PC version?

  • I have an iPad that is frozen up.  I am unable to unlock 000000000000000r slide to turn off.  Is there something I can do to fix or do I need to take in for repair?

    I have an iPad2 that is frozen up.  I am unable to unlock or slide to turn off.  Has anyone had this issue?  Is there something I can do to fix or do I need to have it repaired?

    I just posted to you in the other thread:
    The Home button is the round indented circle the with small square printed in it, at the bottom of your iPad' face above where you plug the iPad cable in.
    The Power (sleep) button is the the small rectangular button on the upper rim of your iPad at the right corner.
    to Reset your iPad:
    hold both the Home button and the Power button down for approx 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.  If a red slider appears, ignore it.  When the Apple logo appears let go promptly and wait another 30 seconds for your iPad to turn itself on.
    Then download the iPad manual, which has a picture of your iPad with arrows telling you what everythings is.
    To find the iPad manual go into iBooks on your iPad, select Store at the upper left, scroll down to Popular Collections, then scroll right to iOS 7 Guides, select this, then select the iPad User Guide and it will download for free.  Then you will have it on your iPad in iBooks to refer to whenever you need it.
    You can also read it online on the Apple website.

  • My iPod touch is stuck.  I can't get it to power off.  all that comes up on the screen is the Apple Logo.  Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?

    My iPod Touch is stuck.  I can't get it to power off.  All that comes up on the screen is the Apple Logo.  Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?

    You may need to hold the sleep/wake button and the home button until the apple logo appears. Or anther thing you can try is draining the battery until the battery is dead. That's what i tried and worked. You may need to do those things more than 2 times. OH anther thing is you can try connecting you ipod to your computer and see if it appears on itunes. If those don't work you can send it to apple. So that's what helped me I hope I answered your question.

    I get a long list of Permissions differ on "System/Library/CoreServicesRemoteManagement..." every time I verify disk permissions.  Is there anything I can do to fix this?

    As long as the report ends up with 'Permissions repair complete' then, as far as permissions go, you are fine. You can ignore the various statements in the report:
    Permissions you can ignore on 10.5 onwards:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
    Using 'should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r--' as an example, you will see the that the permissions are not changed, but the | indicates a different location. This is because an update to Leopard onwards changed the location of a number of system components.
