Texts received randomly has alerts now.

Texts received randomly has alerts now. Been a week. On version 5.0.1 (9a405). Anyone have a solution? Thanks

Sorry, let me be more clear.
When I receive text messages, it used to have an alert sound for every received text, and a reminder that I set to repeat once. It was working fine until a couple weeks ago.
Now, when I receive a text, it may or may not sound an alert.
I would say about 1/3 of the texts I receive during the day do not make a sound, so I don't see them until the next time I check my phone.
The vibrate/sound does not work either for the ones that make no alert sound.
I have not seen a pattern yet.
I have done the hard reset, chosen other tones, tried other settings... can't seem to make it work properly.
Might be people texting from non-iphones? Might be people texting that in my contacts? Might be random? Can't tell.
Thanks for the help.

    Hello Todd:
    I had this very same problem when trying to activate iMessage and Facetime on my iPad. When I signed into my account, I actually wasn't even presented with the option of a phone number - notwithstanding the fact that I was contacting others (and being reached by others) by my phone number on my iPhone. Having both the iPad and the iPhone on, I kept trying to turn off and on both iMessage and Facebook in Settings on both my iPad and iPhone, hoping that that they would eventually sync. But this proposed solution by others was unsuccessful for me.
    Then, I found out what the problem was: When my iPhone was activated, it automatically registered my phone number for contact purposes. I was using iMessage on my iPhone for quite some time without actually being signed into my Apple ID account. When another device - such as an iPad or iPod - is being used for iMessage or Facebook, you are prompted to sign into your Apple account, using your username and password. These two devices will not register your phone number as an option for contact unless your iPhone is signed into your Apple account as well. In other words: your phone number will not be synced.
    Go into your "Settings" on your iPhone and click on "Messages". Scroll down and click on "Send & Receive" (which should be followed by your phone number). On the next page, you will be able to determine whether or not your iPhone is using the Apple ID for messaging purposes. (Note: This information applies for Facetime as well.) If it is using your Apple ID for messaging, than at the top, you will see "Apple ID: <your particular e-mail account>" in Blue text. However, if you are not using your Apple ID for messaging, than you will see the words: "Use your Apple ID for message". Even though below this you will see your phone number checked as the contact source, you will want to click the tab that says, "Use your Apple ID for message". Sign into your account (just as you must sign in for iMessage on your other devices), and just choose your phone number as the "Send & Receive" contact. (The option of the e-mail will be there too, but you don't have to check it. And later on, you can delete it as an option.)
    Now that all of your devices are signed in using your Apple ID, the other devices should register your phone number as a choice. It may take a little while, however. What I did was sign out of iMessage on my iPad, and then sign in again. If the option didn't appear, I just went back and signed in again, and kept doing this until the option for the phone number appeared.
    Again, this will work for Facetime as well. The solution is to sync your iPhone account with the other devices by using your Apple ID for messaging (and Facetime) purposes.
    I hope that this works for you, Todd!   ~ Brian

  • Why can't I block certain people face timing and imessageing me? I keep receiving random facetime calls every 5 minutes got to the point where I have has to turn facetime off.

    Why can't I block certain people face timing and imessageing me? I keep receiving random facetime calls every 5 minutes got to the point where I have has to turn facetime off.

    I'm having the same problem, but it's also coming through on my computer, through my Apple email address.  I have a very short Apple email, and little kids are trying to facetime their little friends, and then when I tell them I'm not their friend, they FaceTime or iMessage me even more, thinking that I'm still their friend, and I'm just kidding around. 
    I can't block the kids before they call...I don't know who they are.  I want to restrict my FaceTime to only my phone number, and block all FaceTime and iMessage requests that are coming in through my email address.  Can I do that?
    I have another thread:  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5840011

    I suggest you call your power company and ask them to monitor your circuit for spikes. Your other appliances are at risk also. I've been using the same Apple USB adapters for 7 years.

    You will need to purchase the upgrade CD for 10.6 from the Apple Online store, OR you can likely get one at an Apple Retail Store.  It is the last version that was available on CD.  After 10.6, the upgrades are available in the Mac App Store.

  • How to read UTF-8 encoded text file randomly?

    I am trying to read a text file which has been encoded in UTF-8. The problem is that I need to access the file randomly. The RandomAccessFile is a low-level class and there seems to be no-way to wrap it in InputStreamReader so that UTF-8 encoding can be done on-the-fly. Is there any easy way to do that. Below is the simplified version of my program.
    import java.io.*;
    public class Test{
            public Test(String filename){
                    try{
                            RandomAccessFile rafTemIn = new RandomAccessFile(new File(filename), "r");
                            while(true){
                                    char chr = rafTemIn.readChar();
                                    System.err.println(chr);
                    } catch (EOFException e) {
                            System.err.println("File read.");
                    } catch (IOException e) {
                            System.err.println("File input error");
            public static void main(String[] args){
                    Test t= new Test("template.idx");
    }

    The file that I am going to read could be few hundreds of MBs or GBs. Hence, I will index interesting items in the file. The index file contain the keyword and the byte offset in the file. So, I will need to seek to any byte to read it. The file could be UTF-8 encoded XML or UTF-8 encoded plain text.
    Also, would like to add-up that in the sample program above I am reading the file sequentially. The concerned class has another method which actually does the reading randomly. If this helps, I am pasting the simplified version of code again but this also includes the said method.
    import java.io.*;
    public class Test{
            long bloc;
            long eloc;
            RandomAccessFile rafTemIn;
            public Test(String filename){
                    bloc=0L;
                    eloc=0L;
                    try{
                            rafTemIn = new RandomAccessFile(new File(filename), "r");
                            while(true){
                                    char chr = rafTemIn.readChar();
                                    System.err.println(chr);
                    } catch (EOFException e) {
                            System.err.println("File read.");
                    } catch (IOException e) {
                            System.err.println("File input error");
            public String getVal(String templateName){
                    String stemval=null;
                    try {
                            rafTemIn.seek(bloc); //bloc is a long value for beginng location to read from. It changes.
                            byte[] b = new byte[(int)(eloc - bloc + 1L)];
                            rafTemIn.read(b,0,(int) (eloc - bloc + 1L));
                            stemval = new String(b,"UTF-8");
                    } catch(IOException eio) {
                            System.err.println("Template Dump file IO error.");
                    return stemval;
            public static void main(String[] args){
                    Test t= new Test("template.idx");
                    System.out.println(t.getVal("wikipedia"));
    }

  • Even editing text in Design View is now difficult in DW CC?

    Hi All,
    Even editing text in Design View is now difficult in DW CC? I just upgraded.
    It seems difficult - or impossible - to select, copy and paste multiple blocks of text from one place to another - unless you work in the Code View.
    Text blocks are separate entities, separately edited? I can't even copy and paste an image from one file into another.
    Previously, I'd regularly select an image - or a load of text - and replace it with some copied from elsewhere by 'pasting'.
    I must be missing something. Perhaps there's another mode of working.
    Thanks,
    John

    You're probably in Live View.
    CC2014.1 does some strange things when it comes to Live and Design Views.
    1. Design View is gone for Fluid Grid Layouts, so all editing has to be done in Code or Live View. There is a work around to get Design View back for those in Post #6 here: Editing Text and Adding Links Is Crazy in DW CC-2014.1
    You can also add your voice to get it back here: Provide "Design View" for Fluid Grid Webpages
    2. Design and Live Views are now a dropdown menu. Check the top left of your workspace, you should see Code | Split | Live with a small triangle next to Live. Click it to access Design View in everything but FGL pages

  • Callback number in text received

    Blackberry 8330 
    When I bring up the text screen to type a text it appears as it should
    Compose text
    Name of recipient (Mobile)
     Then blank space where I type text.
    When it is received it has the following at the top of the message,
    Date
    Callback number: Name (mobile)
    And that information on the receiving end of the text is not on one line, it is on several and the letters in my name go down in a vertical line on the receiving phone.  When the person who received the text hits reply, all that information that was automatically put on my text comes back to me.  It is most annoying to have so much unnecessary text in the message.  The writing above that is highlighted should not be in the text message when it is received.
    Anyone have any suggestions on how to make this stop. 
    Thank you 

    Did this get resolved for you ?

  • TS3406 Problem with iPhone 5 making/receiving random calls ("butt dials")

    My wife and I have iPhone 5's.  Since last Friday, my phone has made and received random phone calls ("butt dials") including FaceTime calls.  My wife's phone has even called itself.  The only common denominator is that the person making the random call has an iPhone.  
    My phone and my wife's phone have the latest software (7.1.2) and we had the batteries changed under warranty through Apple last Friday.  Any ideas?

    Hi becausewemust,
    It sounds like you have sound issues with your iPhone only when using it as a phone, not at other times, is that correct? And you have already tried resetting the phone by turning it off and on. A very frustrating situation to be sure. Let’s see if we can get you up and running.
    At this point I would suggest restoring the iPhone as a new device. See the steps in this article -

  • Why doesnt the Iphone come standard with a missed text, email or call alert

    Why doesnot the Ipone come standard with a missed text, email or call alert, after all it is suppose to be a smart phone

    The only visual aid the iPhone has for missed calls, text, email, etc. is the Notification center. After opening notification center, you chose each of the desired areas, i.e. phone calls, mail, etc. and select your notification. This can be badges, etc. If you miss a call, it will display a notice on the screen for a period of time and the screen will then go dark again. If you wake up the phone and you have missed calls or texts, they should show up on the screen, depending on your settings. The iPhone does not, and never has had a flashing light as some other phones have.
    Check the manual for setting the Notification Center. http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602
    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.
