Sometimes when iMessaging text show up green and not blue
Some times when I massaging tex show up green
To be correct.
iMessages are blue. Only those with a Mac computer or iOS device can receive iMessages. iMessages are sent using data, not yoru text messaging plan.
SMS/MMS are green. iPhones can receive SMS/MMS and iMessages. SMS/MMS require a text messaging plan.

Why when I send messages from my iPhone to other IPhones, they come up green and not blue? I have all the settings on for I message b ut my number comes up grey and not black? Please someone help!
Hi evan191,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has some steps you can try if your messages aren't sending as iMessages:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
If you still can't send or receive iMessages
Ensure that iMessage is turned on in Settings > Messages.
To send and receive iMessages, your device must have a valid cellular or Wi-Fi data connection.
iPhone: Troubleshooting Cellular data
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
iMessage registration validates your Apple ID for use with iMessage. If you are unable to activate iMessage, follow this article.
If an iMessage cannot be sent, it will be resent using SMS or MMS, depending on the content. You can turn this behavior on or off in Settings > Messages > Send As SMS. Carrier messaging rates may apply.
Verify that the Apple ID or phone number is listed in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.
Cheers,

HT3529 Why is my messages sending green and not blue
Why is my messages sending green and not blue
Green means the message was sent as an SMS/MMS.
Blue means the message was sent as an iMessage.
If sent as green, the recipient doesn't have an iPhone with iMessage enabled or if they do, they have turned iMessage off. -
I was texting another iPhone when right it the middle of my conversation, it turned from blue to green. Now its sending all my messages as text messages and not iMessages. How can I fix this?
It could be that your signal dropped to GSM which is why it sent as a normal text. You need wi-fi, 3G or HSPDA to send as an iMessage. As does the receiver

Send and Recieve in iMessage only shows my Apple ID and not my phone number and I can't send nor receive messages from any other phones except iPhones. How do I get my phone number to show up so that I can send and receive SMS text messages and not just iPhone iMessage texts between only other iPhones?
Where is the Start new conversations from??? When I go to Send & Receive, there is no where to add or set to receive at my phone number. There is only a setting to Add Another Email and my Apple Id is already there. No place or way to add a phone number to receive at. I also have a lasting Waiting for activation... under iMessage ON but no place for my phone number although it shows up as My number under Phone.

I last updated my husbands iPhone 4 and since then we are getting each others text messages. Sometimes when I text a person that is on bothe our contacts it will come through as my husband and not me.
Try this:
On all impacted devices, go to settings, messages, send & receive and place a checkmark next to only those phone numbers and email addresses listed you want that device to recognize.
Good luck!

I noticed when I restart Firefox 4, it opens my previous tabs even I set the option "Open a blank page" and it opens blank page when I have "Show my windows and tabs from last time". Please ignore my question if you're already aware of this issue. Thanks.
Your previous tabs will not re-open or be available to re-open when starting Firefox if:

*you clear History automatically when closing Firefox; see --> https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Clear%20Recent%20History#w_how-do-i-make-firefox-clear-my-history-automatically

Hi there can anyone help. I am connected to the Internet by Ethernet but my connection keeps timing out and my network diagnostics shows all green and network connection ok but still no Internet connection. the other wireless laptop in my flat works well. Could the other wireless laptops being used in my flat be affecting my connection. what can I do to get connected, keep connected. Thanks for any ideas out there.
My network connected for a few hours then went back to timing out. I have not changed anything. However there four additional laptop users in my family who do not seem to be having any problems using their wireless connection. Could their film and music downloads be causing the timing out of my connection and if so is there a way I could prioritizes my computer or limit their use?

You get that problem if you select the Firefox program to handle a file if you get an "open with" dialog.

My mac Pro Tower shows some green and reddish lines on the monitor and gives report of unresponsive processor
And never heard of one case of AHT finding or reporting a real GPU related problem.
It does sound like the graphic card and best way to know is to swap it out, even if you have a PC card around. -

When firefox starts show my windows and tabs from last time is greyed out
firefox 4.0 startup. when I go to general under options when firefox starts show my windows and tabs from last time it is grayed out and I can't select it.
Yes, that can happen if you run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode.
* You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
* To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
* Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"
