  • TS3276 My Mac OS X is sending messages to everyone in my address book.  What is going on?

    My Mac OS X 10.6.8 Safari must have some sort of virus.  It is sending messages to everyone in my address book without
    my knowledge.  What is happening?  How can I stop it?

    8: Reinstall Just OS X
    Category: OS X and bundled Apple software related
    Description: Replaces only OS X and bundled Apple software programs with a new copy. Small portions of third party software installed in OS X itself is removed in the process, but they can be reinstalled later. Programs in Applications folder or the User account folders are not touched.
    Instructions:
    Option A:
    10.6 users - clean and polish the bottom of the 10.6 disk (no other) with a soft clean cloth and a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol.
    • Insert the disk and Hold c or option key down and then boot the computer from the 10.6 installer disk.
    • Second screen, select your boot drive and simply install OS X again.
    • When you get into the machine again, immediately Software Update under the Apple Menu until clear, reboot and repeat until clear. Important!
    Force eject a stuck disk - hold the trackpad or left wired mouse button down while booting, the hardware should force eject the disk, or use Startup Manager #3 and select the disk and then use the eject key on the keyboard.
    Reinstall any third party software that fails to work once the developer has a update that is compatible with the OS X version your using. (see Apple Menu > About this Mac for the OS X version)

  • Skype stops sending messages/call stops/unable to ...

    So I've had this issue for about 3 months now and I believe it's ever since it automatically updated to 7.0. 
    The first time I noticed it happen was when messages would not send via my desktop but would do on my phone. The circle motion would be sat by the message on the chat window and would not have sent. I check my phone and the convo had still been going on but my message had not sent (Group convo of about 10 people).
    Next time it happened was instantly as I tried to log on. It would not be signing in at all, just sat at the signing in page and not responding. - I get a call via my phone on skype but not on my desktop. Frustratingly requiring to be on my desktop so I could do work while on skype - I had to reboot my computer to fix this, causing me to delay things for another 5-10 mins while my PC rebooted and I signed onto skype.
    The last time was today, I went about going to skype - It didn't sign in when I needed to be in a call with 4 other people. Reboot my computer. Fine, I'll deal with it, starts working. 2 hours into that call however, the thing just stops sending me the information but doesn't freeze up - I get messages via another means saying that they can still hear me and see me but I can't hear them - 2 minutes later they say that it's frozen up and I've left the call. Now, I know the only solution is to reboot my computer but I am fed up of having to do so whenever skype decides it doesn't want to play ball with me.
    I have tried every solution to fix it such as default settings, clearing temp/cache files and even reinstalls. But everything while my PC is running after it's 'crashed' (It doesn't exactly crash, just loses some kind of connection), once I reboot it seems to work fine. I have no idea what it is that's causing it - It literally just stops wanting to send or receive data. I've lived in this place since September 2014 and it only has started happening, I mention this as I live in student appartment block. 
    I hope that someone out there knows or understands what I'm trying to say or do here - and I guarantee you that I've tried ever sort of solution. Even deleting shared.xml and such. 
    I don't want to have to reboot my PC every time it decides it doesn't want to behave, it's frustrating when I'm in the middle of something and really shouldn't be the solution to my problem everytime.
    EDIT: Running on Windows 7 Ultimate x64

    sorry I don't have your answer but I am havng similar problem. I have no access to video call and my video icon has a red slash in echo test section. also on sound check with echo test my message did not play back.  I just had my computer retored and now have IE9. don't know if this has anything to do with it. when I first logged on I saw a flash that said NO SKYPE HOME. also looking for answers.

  • Why can't I send messages to my contacts from my ipad

    Why can't I send messages to my contacts on my iPad?

    WEll, I send messages to everyone on my iphone, just cant get certain ones  on the ipad.  Only 4 or 5 people so far can get my messages and respond on ipad.   All the  people have iphones and I use facetime to talk to them, but no imessages.....frustrating.  I have read all the articles and tried my best.   I might go straight to the apple store locally, and see if they can help me. 

  • Why can't I send messages to some iPhone contacts, but can to others?

  • Text fail, then randomly sends?

    Why does my phone fail to send messages, then randomly send messages?  I'll attempte to send a text, it'll fail. I'll have to try again 2-3 times sometimes.  Then I'll get a text a day later or several hours later from folks saying that I'm texting them from earlier? I'm hearing that this issue is isolated to the iPhone 4s?

    Erase any conversation you have with this person in your Messages, then start a new one and see if it does same thing.    If it still doesn't go through right away, it's a problem with your friend's iMessage setup, not yours.

    My iphone 4 is about a month old ad it continues to send multiple repeat texts message to the point where I have stop sending texts because everyone is annoyed with me, is there a solution that anyone knows of? I am hearing from sprint that it is apple's issue and from apple it is a sprint issue. They said I can take it to the store but its one month old and I find it hard to beleive that they do not have an easier solutions, i dont have time to or the patience to give up my phone for three days. This can't be right correct? If anyone has founf a solution I would really appreciate some help as Im sure you can hear I am frustrated.
    thank you

    It is a sprint issue and other carriers have that same problem. I get multiple copies of texts from other carriers all the time to my iphone. It isn't the iphone, it is the carrier sending the text message several times because they haven't received and ack message from the recepient.

  • Randomly, text messages I send with my new iPhone 4S are delivered as all squares instead of text.  Any idea how to fix this issue?

    Randomly, text messages I send with my new iPhone 4S are delivered to the recipients as all squares instead of regular characters.  I have heard other people complain about this too.  Any idea how to stop it or why it is happening?  Hardware issue?

    There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage.   There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
    I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.

  • Certain contact on skype cannot send me messages n...

    For a few days now, I cannot read messages a contact says to me on the outlook.com website and they don't receive mine. When I got onto my phone skype, their messages went through and I tried sending them a message through the website with my phone skype on, and it worked, but I am now using the website and no messages are still sending yet. What's going on? It's really upsetting. And it's only that one contact. The other contacts are able to send messages and receieve.

    This does not solve the problem.  I could do those before, text messages from IPad, can to some contacts and now having updated to IOS it has a problem.  Not the only one with this problem.  Your solution is?
    Who are these people that you could send messages form your iPad to before?
    Do they have iPhones or iPads?
    Have they setup Messages on their devices?

  • Skype call failed and not sending messages

    As the subject says, me and some friends are unable to send messages or make calls this morning. Messages just have the spinning symbol on the right and calls just say call failed. This is on several machine spread around the UK. Any advice is appreciated.

    It seems to be slowly recovering now, just a blip in service that no one at skype are acknowledging?

  • Skype will not send Messages in Windows 10.

    Skype no longer seems to send messages after getting a blank error message. The message will enter the chat, however, it will endlessly load until deleted. I'm running the most recent version of Skype for Windows 10 on my desktop. It may be as simple as rebooting my PC, however, trying that, the messages will only send for a few minutes after reboot, before endlessly looping. I am definitely connected to the internet, and I can still make calls. This sis with regular, non SMS messages with a non-premium account.

    you have both the answers ! The problem is your outgoing settings in your mail account Contact your carrier for the right settings of the outgoing, or google
