New Text Messages Jumbled with Old Ones

I am on Verizon, and previously had the Samsung Galaxy S3. Shortly after the HTC One was released on VZW I picked it up. I've got a friend on T-Mobile who I text with a lot, probably 25 - 50 messages a day. Starting shortly after I got the HTC one she started getting new messages merged and "jumbled" as we call it together with old messages. Messages that weren't even sent with my HTC one - they were sent from my old Samsung. This leads me to believe it's got to be that VZW somehow has these old messages on their servers, and they are somehow matching (ID's or however they are stored) with the new ones and merging together.
At first this was happening maybe once a week or so, at this point it's happening multiple times a day. What's interesting is that it's certainly content based. I'll send her a text and she will reply back "jumbled message" - if I copy and paste that same message she will get it all jumbled up over and over - every time I send that same content. I end up either screen shotting and emailing her, or I'll re-word the message. Now I'll give an example of what happens:
Original Message: I'm not really sure, I'll have to check with him in the morning. Do you mind waiting until then?
New Message: Haha, sure... I'll get right on that... nope
That New Message won't get sent correctly, instead what she will receive is:
Jumbled Message: Haha, sure... I'll get right on that... nope him in the morning. Do you mind waiting until then?
OR
Jumbled Message: I'm not really sure, I'll have to check with him in the morning. Do sure... I'll get right on that... nope
I haven't seen a rhyme or reason as to whether it places the old first or the new first... and though my example was with a short message I *believe* they have all been with long (160+) character messages.
Additional: I've used Handcent SMS with both of these phones, she uses GoSMS (though they show up jumbled in her default app as well). T-Mobile displays the message whole, not chopped into 160 blocks.
Help!?

FYI, I removed handcent and have had the issue happen twice today with the stock messaging application. It may not be a *common* problem but other people are certainly having it: https://community.verizonwireless.com/message/1006501
What I'd like to point out is this. If I'm using the stock messaging application - and my messages are getting mixed together with messages I sent over 6 months ago from a DIFFERENT phone, how can the issue be phone related at all? I don't see a way that this isn't somehow on the verizon server side. I believe that when the server splits up multi-part messages (over 160 characters) and puts them back together it's somehow putting them together with old message parts stored / cached on the server side.

You can't use the IMEI number for tracking it, you can only potentially do that if you had Find My iPhone enabled on it - if you did then you can try locating it via http://icloud.com or the Find My iPhone app on another iOS device.
For the IMEI number, do you have you got the phone's box or have a backup of the phone on your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4061 ?
If it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

I upgraded my iphone to 5.0.1 and ever since, it has decided to delete old text messages. Only with one contact though, not everybody. So for every new text message I send this person, an old one gets removed. Why? I don't want this to happen.

Connect the phone directly to the computer, not a hub.
Disconnect all other USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
Disable your firewall
Disable your antivirus
In iTunes if it recognizes the phone click "Restore"
If it doesn't recognize the phone:
Disconnect the phone from the phone end, leave the USB cable plugged into the computer
Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until the screen turns black, excactly 10 seconds, then release the SLEEP but continue holding the HOME (If an Apple logo appears you have held SLEEP too long; do it over)
While holding HOME connect the cable to the phone
As soon as iTunes recognizes the phone release the HOME button and it should restore.
If neither procedure works note the exact error message and post it.

How do I stop my contacts old phone number from appearing when starting a new text message

I changed one of my contacts phone number, but when I start a new text message their old phone number appears along with their new number. I have checked my contact information and only their new number is in there.

No fix for that yet, take a look at this link, https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4363225?start=0&tstart=0

I'm trying to download my Master CS6 onto a new hard drive because my old one crashed and I keep getting a message saying " Cannot write the file" or "I don't have permission to access the requested resource." ? What does this mean?

Yes- it is a Mac. I went through adobes system requirements and re- downloaded supportive software. The notice seems to happen near the end of the down load with the messages above. I'll look into your suggestion. Thank you- appreciated.

LabVIEW2009: How to replace new Icon Editor with old one?

Colleagues,
I really don't like the new icon editor introduced in LabVIEW 2009:
That was nice attempt to make "embedded Photoshop" with lot of features:
But I really don't like it, because:
- it opened EVERY TIME on the RIGHT monitor (I have three monitors, and primary monitor in the middle)
- it takes lot of time for launch (old icon editor was started momentally)
- from usability point of view - it was wrong to place tools on the right side. Commonly they located on the left side (and only in old icon editor, but also in imageprocessing software like Adobe Photoshop). Also front panel UI design... hmmm... this can be better...
- some bugs or changed functionality (for example - select ROI, then press <Del> button - nothing happened)
etc...
Is it possible to replace it with old one:
Ideal solution will be - simple switch between both editors (some introduced features are not so bad).
Thanks in advance,
Andrey.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Go into <LabVIEW>\Resource\Plugins and rename lv_icon.vi. This is the plugin that's called when you invoke the icon editor, and if it's not there, LV reverts to the built-in editor (at least today. I'm not sure how many versions ahead they will keep the code).
You should note that the editor is open source, so you can go in and change what you want (or save yourself time and use the changes others have made, such as PJM's thread here. You may also want to look at the other discussions in that group).
Try to take over the world!

I have Photoshop Elements 9 on an iMac with OS 10.6.8. I bought a new printer/scanner and the program will not import the new scanner to replace the old one. How do I do this?

Thank you for your suggestions. I downloaded a more recent version of Twain, but this didn't help. I also tried closing and opening Photo Shop and restarting my computer without success. Reinstalling Photo Shop sounds like a very promising solution, but I'm not sure I will do it. In the meantime I can scan items using a printer program. These scans open in Photo Shop. It is an extra step.

When I create a text message from my contact on my iphone 5, the contacts mobile number appears and not there name. But when they respond to my text, is shows up as a new text message with there name. How do I fix this?

Double click the home button and swipe up the messages app to stop it, then open the app again. This pretty much completely stops the process and freshly opens it again, resolving problems at times. I have had this happen before as well on my iPad, I get a banner, check messages, and nothing new is there.
If that doesn't work, close the app like suggested above, but then restart the phone by holding down the home and lock button for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears.

Every time I download a new app or update an old one it doesn't work. It gives an error message saying it is unable to download the application. I have 2 choices. Retry or done. Retry doesn't work so I press done. What can I do to fix this?

Try using Google's DNS instead of the one your IPS is providing.
- To change on the iPod go to Settings>wifi and change the DNS to 8.8.8.8
- For the computer see:
Public DNS — Google Developers
- Did anything happen to your router right before this started? Maybe the router is blocking the port used.

Why is contact name now appearing with New Text Message notification?

How do I get the contact name to not appear when I'm notified I have a new text? It used to just say something like "New Text Message." This is happening when my phone is locked.

This was part of the new 2.2 update. There is no setting to turn this off.

How to send a new text message without appending it to a previous message to the intended recipient

I have a new iPhone 5c with IOS 7. When I try to send a new text message to my sister, the new message is appended to an old one I sent her. I do not want to delete the old one, but I don't want the new message tied to the old one. How might I get around this?

It is the latter (it's in the same thread), so I guess you have answered my question, which means I must delete the previous thread. As to why I would want to retain the old thread; (1) I might want to discuss two totally different topics over the same interval of time, or (2) I possibly need to retain some of the info in the older thread for reference, such as email address, phone number, etc. I am new to not only Apple, but smart phones in general. I guess there is a way to archive old threads (icloud, etc.), but I was hoping that not necessary for relatively new threads that might still be active. At any rate, I guess I can quit chasing the wind by hoping to retain the old messages while entertaining a new one with the same recipent. Thanks for your help.

You created a new AppleID?
Why not simply update your old AppleID so you have only one iTunes account?

How do i get my contacts Back, i can see them when composing a new text message but not in my contact list?

A couple of days ago all the contacts on my phone were deleted, for some unknown reason (i think it was something to do with iCloud). When i look in my contact list, on my phone, i can not see any of my contacts. But when i go to compose a new text message (or email) i can see the name of the contacts and the number.
If i then click on one of them it just comes up as a number in the: to box.
If i try to sync my phone with my computer, which has the contacts on, and click replace contacts on phone (with icloud turned off) it just deletes all the contacts that are left (the ones i added since i lost them) and does not replace them.
I have tried syncing through Icloud, the computer, Yahoo, Hotmail, and gmail with no luck.
So my qustion is can i get my contacts back?
Thanks,

In iTunes, uncheck Sync contacts.
Sync the iPhone.
Then recheck Sync contacts and sync the iPhone.
