Text won't go out via SMS (green box messages) why? I was working earlier

My iphone is not letting me send massage via SMS? When I text my father it goes through probably because he has an Iphone too because his messages are blue not green. What is going on?

Blue messages signify "iMessage" when your iphone detects that the recipient is on another iOS device and makes the switch automatically. The transition is seamless and invisible to both parties (other than the color of the bubble) with the added benefit of not taking away from your SMS plan.

HT3529 why do some messages in a string get sent via iMessage (blue) while others in that string are sent via SMS (green)?

why do some messages in a string get sent via iMessage (blue) while others in that string are sent via SMS (green)?

Because the other end may not be on a data network and can receive SMS only at that time. Also if imessage can't send via imessage then it will fall back to SMS if you have that turned on.

Why doesn't the "zoom in/out" via pinching the trackpad on my mac not work anymore with firefox? It worked before and still works with Safari.

Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4 and later.
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the about:config page.
browser.gesture.pinch.in -> cmd_fullZoomReduce
browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.out -> cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> false
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Iphone 4s won't call out or receive calls or messages

got my self a iPhone 4s off my friend locked on Vodafone phone was working fine to I got it unlocked after a few days it just kept on saying call ended right away. I was so confuse I try every thing to sort it out and I mean everything even went to Apple store and they done all there tests and said I need a new phone as it has hardware problems and I need to pay £160 for a replacement phone as my warranty run out = ( and you think I'm going to pay that when I just bought this phone off my friend noooooo way .... I thought I try one last thing as I had full t-Mobile signal and 3G and Internet but could not call out or receive calls so weird anyway I thought I'd put a Vodafone chip back in the phone as it's was locked on Vodafone before and see what happens and guess what no service so that got me thinking that the phone has been blocked . So I phoned up Apple and give you IME number to see if it was blacklisted and they said it ain't ?????? So what now well I got my friend to call Vodafone up to see if they blacklisted it and guess what there did as my friend lost the new phone they got and Vodafone decided to block both serial numbers how fun for me not. so now they have un blacklisted my phone and it works just fine = ) lucky I did not pay apple for a phone hey don't believe everything they say and don't give up

Good morning. Recently I had the same problem - I could not access the cellular data network. I was informed by our local Internet Service Provider that, every so often, the phone (iPhone 4S) would reset itself. In so doing, it purges some information that is really needed. The ISP had to walk me through the steps to re-entering that info; after that, it worked just fine. She said that they have instruction cards available at the ISP's office, and that I should go get one for future reference. It may be a problem connected with relatively small providers – it's not a nationwide carrier, like Sprint or AT&T. She asked me, "Didn't they tell you about that when you bought the phone?" Well, of course not. Live and learn!

My iPhone 4 worked fine yesterday an today the sound won't come out of the speakers from music and videos but worked on earphones and without earphones all I can hear is when Someone's calling me

Idk what I did

I got it out!
Here is how.
None of the Apple-suggested ways worked. However, before totally giving up I started Roxio Popcorn and pressed the big eject button on it. It came out effortlessly!
So, I thought "Weird..."
I put the CD back in and reproduced my original problem. I got it out just as easily using Roxio Popcorn Eject feature.
So, I then thought "Maybe it is the disk?" There is nothing wrong with the disk as far as I can tell. It is perfectly round, has a smooth label-side surface. It is not even a label, it is a standard software install disk you buy in stores.
I inserted a different disk. The mini mounted it, I browsed it, and then ejected it by dragging it to trash. Worked fine.
I tried a few other disks.
The drive seems to work fine.
Maybe that CD is cursed, I dunno. I tried that disk in my PowerBook and it works fine there.
Who knows ?
I am still backing up my hard drive as I type this message in case I need to take it to the store.

TS1702 My millionaire and friends game won't load onto my iPad or iPhone 5? It was working in the beginning but now it won't even load. I have restarted my device & deleted and reinstalled the app several times and it still won't load? Please help

Millionaire and friends game not loading! Please help! I have tried restarting the device & deleting the app and trying to reload but nothing works? I also tried to email the creators of the app but the email address for tech support bounced back to me so its obviously not a good email??

I tried to email the developer (Canada) but the email for technical support is not a good email. My email got returned to me undeliverable? Not sure what to do next? I also want to get the game going again cause I made purchases to get more coins to play the game & now I can't even use it? Very frustrating!!!

Urgent: iMovie crashed and now won't open. How can I retrieve the movie I was working on?

I've been working on a university project for weeks now and was doing so this afternoon.
As I went to import a MP4 (just like I had done every time before) iMovie crashed.
Now when I try to open it, all I get is a black box with grey boarders at the top and left-hand side.
I've tried to get the movie from the iMovie library, and other sources on the mac, but I can't seem to find it.
The assignment is due next week, and the editing for the project is huge.
Is there anyway I can get it back?
I don't care about iMovie itself, as long as I can get the movie I was working on back.
Any help would be much appreciated.
From an extremely stressed student

Hi ..
Try recent items.
Click your Apple  top left in your screen.
From the drop down menu click: Recent Items then look under Documents.
If that doesn't help, try a Spotlight search > Mac Basics: Spotlight

Any idea why a 3 month old new IPad won't turn on? It has been charged today and was working perfectly last night while I used it to read a book. I have tried both the sleep/wake button and the on/off button on the front. Nothing is happening.

Any idea why a 3 month old Ipad will not turn on? It has been charged and I haved tried the sleep/mute button and the on/off button on the front. Nothing is
happening. It was working fine last nigh?

1. Hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home button down together
2. For 10 to 15 seconds
3. Until you see the Apple logo
4. Ignore the red slider
Note: Repeat it if it doesn't work the first time

I have a brand new iPad newest version. Wifi. The messaging won't send out but I receive messages from others. What is wrong?

I have the newest version of the iPad (3rd generation) with wifi. The messaging won't send out but I'm receiving messages from others when I'm using it. They also come through on my iphone at the same time. But I can't send them out on the iPad. I tried someone's suggestion of changing the DNS to 8.8.8.8 and that did not work to fix it. What is wrong with this thing? Thank you in advance for your help.

Are you trying to send a message to a cell number or an email address? iPad does MMS, not SMS, meaning it can't send a message to a number. It can send a message to an email address........

Incoming messages won't print out

This morning several email messages won't print out. If the incoming message is a reply to my email and that reply contains my original email in the response, only my email prints out. The reply and sender info are blank in the printout.

What application are you using to view and print your emails? (Mail, Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Sparrow, Thunderbird, etc).
Your profile indicates you are running 10.6.4. Is that information still current? If not, I suggest installing all available software updates. There have been many OS and printer driver updates since 10.6.4.

How to send contacts via SMS from Iphone 3g

Hi, anybody knows how to send or forward contacts via sms??

It still does not work with 3.0
You can send your contacts via mms. At least in Europe.
This is not exactly a nice solution.
I tried this, and the person receiving the mms needed to login to a website via browser to get the mms. The Website was done so bad, that it only allowed you to enter while using Internet Explorer.
I was not able to get the mms with any brwoser that works on a Mac.
Not really a nice solution
Even my first cellphone from over ten years ago was able to perform this task with two clicks.
Sorry for the grawling.. but having the best phone ever, I was wondering if this
will be part of an upgrade soon.

I can't download apps or music on my iphone4s. The loading blue circle keeps revolving but won't let me enter my password. Was working fine one day, then next it's not.

Hey, I understand how ****** off you must be at getting bounced around . It most likely has something to do with some port being blocked by your internet service provider or on your router. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297 lists ports 80, 443, 3689, 5297, 5298, 5353, 8000-8999, and 42000-42999 as ports that need to be open for you to connect to the itunes store. I would recommed contacting your isp and making sure that they are not blocking anything (in a nice unaccusing way, you never know, it might not be their fault), or if they can help you determine if your router is the cause. Before you do that you could also make an appointent with the genius bar at your apple retail store to make sure you can connect to the itunes store on their network, although if you can connect to wifi through safari, it probably is not related to the wifi hardware of your device.
As last ditch efforts, I would try updating your device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623 (I recommend backing-up your device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766 and any itunes purchases http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 just to be sure). If that doesn't work, I would restore it and set it up as a new device through itunes on a computer, that will wipe out any problem software and install the operating system as new, you can then test it to see if the issue was related to any software you had on it.
Let us know what you decide to do and if any suggestions helped. Good luck.

PDF Converted to JPEG Shows Up As Green Box in FCP...

I have a PDF file from a client that I converted into a jpeg to use in FCP. I can import and it shows up fine in the browser, but when I put it into the timeline it turns into a solid green box.
Why is this happening? I need it as a jpeg to have the solid white background, as the PDF has no background layer.

Sometimes those pdfs have an alpha channel as well.
Delete/change in PS.
To switch from CYMK to RGB in PS, open the file in PS:
Go to Image Menu, choose Mode drop down, and switch to RGB.
Save and then import to FCP

TS2755 Hi All - I sent a text using my iphone 5 - It is PAYG and had no money in it. It tried to send as an SMS but gave the 'green button reject message'. After deleting the convo, the phone keeps trying to send the deleted text via SMS and wont stop not

Hi All - I sent an sms using my iphone 5 - It is PAYG and had no money in it. (stupidly)
It tried to send as an SMS but gave the 'green button reject message'.(no money)
Step 2 in this stupidity - the phone keeps trying to send the deleted text via SMS and wont stop notifying me of this. Totally ruining the functionallity of my phone, and more so totally annoying. All I want to do is stop the constant re-trying of sending the deleted SMS.
Any ideas?
Many Thanks!

Hi, many thanks for your help - Pressing and holding sleep/reset hasn't worked, the msg is still continually reporting it is failing to send. I can restore to a previous version however I'll lose my paid apps. Is there any way to work around this. I'm only concerned about one app - Epocam HD which I purchased last month. My last backup on PC is 4 March 13 - before I bought the paid app - Itunes advises me I'll have to re-pay to get my apps (app) back. Even though it advises that icloud backed up this morning at 1:30 am (which although it is before the text, I cannot manually select this restore).
What a mess!
