Persistent Text message won't go away!

Whenever a friend of mine sends me a text (from an iPhone on att to my Galaxy S3), I will also get a second text message from her that says:
"You received an image."
"Clicking" on this notification just takes me to the regular text message conversation between her and me with no image. But here is the really annoying bit: After about a minute to five minutes, I get another notification that I have received an image. Again, "clicking" on it does nothing. This will go on for about three days, where my phone is constantly blinking at me to let me know that I have this stupid image but there is no way to tell it to go stuff itself. Eventually it seems to give up until the next time she legitimately texts me. I will then get her text followed by the endless cycle of "You received an image" notifications.
I have tried clearing the cache on both the built in Messaging app and Textra (my chosen texting app).
Is there any way to manage my texts online? I'm wondering if she texted me a picture some months ago and somehow I can't see it on my phone and it just sits in the queue, laughing a maniacal laugh while it torments me.
How can I get it to stop?

That is quite odd, bvz2000. Did you happen to have an iPhone at one time? Does this only happen with this one contact? Are you using a text message app or the one that came installed on your S3?

Mysterious e-mail message won't go away ...

There is a e-mail message that continually pops up every time I start up mail and every time I send a message. It's a previous e-mail I sent from one of my accounts to another for backup reasons, but it won't go away. I delete it, and it reappears in my in box later whenever I try to send another message.
Can someone help me escape this loop?

I understand your frustration, but it's not always reasonable to expect Apple to fix problems beyond their control. There are lots of ways to set up mail servers and Apple has no more access to the configurations for the servers you use than you do. Mail works, in my case, with both Exchange 2007 and various iMap servers, so I'm sure your problem isn't ubiquitous.
When you have things that don't work together and they both want to point fingers at each other, the best thing to do is to gather all the information that's pertinent and supply it to both sides. Have you asked the mail system administrators about the details of their system, what software they're running, version, protocols, and ports? Apple can't possibly know those details.

HT4356 HP printer error message won't go away

I've been printing from iPad to HP Envy with non-HP cartridges for years with no problems. Now the "non-HP cartridges installed" error message on printer won't go away when I hit OK. iPad reads this as "printer is out of ink." Rebooting didn't help.

Text messages won't show up in lock screen

Hey guys,
My iphone 5s sometimes won't show text messages in my lock screen, any ideas?
And I have checked all of my notifications.
Cheers

Only if Apple knows about possible software issues, they would look into those. You can report those by using this link:
Apple - iPhone - Feedback
But I did not see this issue mentioned for a longer time in these forums.
Try to set up your phone as new device and see if this helps:

Text messages won't load, visual voice mail barely works, e-mail won't update

I've had the HTC Rhyme for about two weeks. Last week I noticed my text messages were not loading. I I turned the phone off a few times. Still no text messages loading. I spoke with Verizon CS and they tried several solutions that did not work. I finally reset my phone and my text messages started loading again...for a couple of days. Exactly one week later my text messages are not loading again. I am not gonna reset my phone again. In addition to no text messages not loading, my visual voicemail works sometimes ( voicemails show up hours later). My aol email does not update. When I mentioned this to the Verizon CS they said "instead of using the phone's email setup, I should download the aol app from the Google Play Store. So, I downloaded the aol mail app last week. Since I had to reset my phone I had to download the aol mail app again. But, now I can't find the aol mail app in the Google Play Store. I am VERY dissatisfied with this phone.

Sstelliott, I sorry to hear of the issue you are having with your phone and I’m here to help!
Are you able to send text and picture messages? How do you know when you are not receiving a message? Do you get an error message? Are you able to access the Internet on your phone? Are you using a third party message app?
Run the phone in safe mode http://bit.ly/tXe7I4 and have someone send you a text to see if you receive. I want to make sure a third party isn’t causing these issues.
In regards to the visual voice mail, do you notice you have the delayed message when you’re in a certain area? Make sure airplane mode is disabled and that you’re able to access the Internet. Also, make sure call forwarding is disabled by dialing *73 send from your cell. You’ll hear a few beeps and the call will drop. Finally, update the phone by dialing *228 send and selecting option 2 to update. Once the update is complete make sure you power cycle the phone.
The update should also help with the email issues. You mentioned you are unable to find the app in the Google Plat store. Go to the Play store and on the main page select the Menu key. Go to My Apps. There you should see the email app if you previously downloaded it before you did the hard reset.
If you are still having issues after the troubleshooting step above, please post back and I’ll be more than happy to further assist you.

Ever since I updated to IOs5 my regular text messaging won't work

I can imessage just fine but anytime I text someone a message comes up saying that my SMS mailbox is full and I cannot receive new messages until I delete some. I already deleted almost all of my texts though and I know it can't be full because before I updated my software this was never a problem. Anyone else have this problem or know what to do for it? I already tried to reset all my settings and went to my phone store and they tried giving me a new sim card but nothing works. If I turn my phone off and back on I will received the text messages though.

Do yoou periodically close your apps? Double-click the Home button and you will see the open apps at the bottom. Press and hold one so it wiggles and yu see the X in the upper left corner. Then press X to close the apps that you don't need. That will free up memory (and speed up your phone).

Text messages won't send to one specific contact

Ok, I've searched for this problem, have seen it several times, but haven't come up with a solution.
My texts appear as "text message not sent" on every text that I send to this contact; I've never had any problems texting this person before. We are facebook friends and so his number appears twice in his contact, once the way I had originally entered it and again the way it appears on facebook with the +1. I've tried every which way and it just doesn't work. It's not on his end, he still gets texts from people. I tried installing handcents so that I could delete all failed messages and it didn't help. Now i'm stuck. This is a big problem. Don't want to reset my phone or anything, there has to be a fix for this right?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you for your inquiry. I do agree with the postings from the members. If someone has blocked you from calling or texting, it would be the cause of what you are experiencing. However, calling the carrier will not change the decision to remove the block. If you blocked some from calling or texting you, would you want that same person to be able to call your service provider to remove the block you placed on your line? If so, I suggest you not seek to restore the connection until you know the other person wishes to allow the calls or text to go through. They opted to have the connect blocked for the time being at their personal discretion.

Group Text Messages Won't Download On My Droid Razr Maxx HD

Many times my Droid Razr Maxx HD will not receive group text messages. Often, not always, when I receive a group text I get a message notification and when I look at the screen it simply says "downloading." This downloading can go on for hours. Two days ago one simple text message took 7 hours to download. This is a recent problem probably only going back 3 weeks or so. The other phones in this group text are two I Phone 5's, an I Phone 5 s and a Samsung Galaxy SIII. My phone is used for business and my inability to receive a text quickly is hurting my business. I may as well not have a cell phone. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas?

I, too, am having the same issue. I also notice the phone gets fairly warm/hot at times. This all started after the most recent update. It's highly annoying, as you all know, to see "Downloading 0kb" or "Downloading 30kb" over and over for both group texts as well as standard MMS. Having to turn off WiFi, get the messages/downloads, then re-enable it is a hassle and not one that was present prior to the update.
I've been with Verizon for a little less than 2 years but if pushing out mandatory patches to their phones causes problems like this then I would have no qualms switching to AT&T.
I like my phone and, for the most part, I've liked my service. I've Googled this issue and TONS of people are having it since the update. I hope Verizon is listening to it's customers and working on a patch of some sort.

Since updating my iPhone 5c on iOS 7.1.1, trust computer message won't go away

I didn't have this problem until I updated to 7.1 & also updating to 7.1.1. Before then I was able to plug in my phone to any computer & charge it & transfer pics & videos with no problem. Now the "Do you trust this computer?" Question constantly comes up & no matter how many times I click on "trust" it won't go away. Just keeps popping up. Anyone else with this problem? Thanks!

Can anyone help me please? Thanks!

Every time I open Itunes or plug in my Ipod or Ipad I get an error message that the registery settings for burning cds and dvds are missing and to reinstall Itunes. i've done this several times but the message won't go away.

Every time I plug my Ipod Nano or Ipad 2 into my computer I get the same error message. It says that registery settings are missing for importing burning cds and dvds due ot other burning software and to untinstall itunes and reinstall Itunes. I've done this several times and I'm not having any trouble importing cds at all and I can't make the message go away. It always comes up before Itunes will open.

I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

Vault Messages Won't Go away

Hello all,
I recently deleted all of my vaults. However whenever I fire up Aperture, it keeps showing the following message on the startup screen.
"Items not yet stored in a vault" It then lists the number of folders, pictures etc.
Aperture is probably thinking that there is still a vault. How do I make this message go away?
