Updated to Yosemite, iMessage fusing different people and numbers to same conversation

I recently updated to Yosemite and my iMessages is getting some contacts mixed up. For example, I had previously used iMessage to communicate with my dad who has an iphone and imessage. Now with Yosemite my mom who uses SMS with a different number as my father, is added to the conversation with my dad. It makes no sense and two different numbers are used in the same thread, I have no idea who I message from my computer. On my phone all is normal.

Hi,
Do you have an Address card in the Contacts app that has both sets of info on it ?
DO they share and Apple ID ?
You may find that the name in the "To" spot has to be used like a drop down to select the "right" number.

    Hi... Sorry for delay. I've been away working.
    I have just completed another software update as prompted again, and I'm still having problems.
    Nearly all my software won't open. It doesn't matter if it's relatively old software I brought over from my last Mac or new software I've purchased from the App store within the last year or two. It always says whatever software I'm trying to open has "quit unexpectedly"
    My Mail, App store, Stickies and Safari seem to work, but most other things won't.
    I've run a verify disk permissions and a repair disk permissions, but this message appears... Maybe it is a clue to the problem if you understand these things:
    Warning: SUID file “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent” has been modified and will not be repaired.
    Please advise...
    Best wishes

    Going to venture a guess your Apple Mobile Device service isn't started.

  • Updated to Yosemite a few weeks ago and I'm now being confronted with a plug-in error message when loading illustrator. Not sure what to do.

      this is a screen grab of the plug in errors.
    Any body know how to fix this????

    Did you reinstall your AI from the original disks or a clean download after updating to Yosemite? Adobe products don't take kindly to migration or in place updates of the OS.

  • How can I use firefox between windows 7 & windows XP on a network, where we are using Samba server. If a user logs on different workstation(and OS) with same account.

    we have a Linux fileserver with Samba share and have several users.
    The users tend to be in different locations and need to login at different workstations, sometimes the workstation may be WindowsXP and othertimes it is windows7.
    How can we use Firefox & Thunderbird in this situation.
    I find that Windows7 uses compressed files to store the location information.
    when a user logs on to win7 it creates a new account.

  • Updated to yosemite on macbook pro 13" and now I have no volume control.

    I just recently updated to the newest OS and now I have no volume control. On the volume control icon it is empty and in the preferences it states, "internal speakers" has no internal control. Bluetooth is off and I have no ear pods connected. I hit the volume up or down key and all I get is the speaker icon with a circle and hash thru it under the icon. Is there somethin

    Hello PaulH.Reed,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with audio issues. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
    If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker
    Follow these steps and test the sound after each one.
    Go to Settings > Sounds and drag the Ringer And Alerts slider to turn the volume up.
    If you can hear sound from the speaker, then the speaker works. Continue with these steps to find the setting or switch that's affecting the sound. If you can't hear sound from the speaker, contact Apple Support.
    Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is set to ring. If you can see orange, it's set to silent.
    Restart your device.
    Open an app that has music or sound effects. Adjust the volume with the volume buttons or the slider in Control Center.
    Go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn off Bluetooth.
    If there's still no sound, connect a headset. If you can hear sound through the headset, remove it and clear any dust or debris from the headset jack of your device.
    If the device is in a case, make sure that the case doesn't block the speaker.
    Use a brush to gently clear any debris from the speaker and Lightning connector (or 30-pin dock connector). The brush should be clean and dry and have soft bristles.
    Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
    If you followed these steps and still hear no sound or distorted sound, contact Apple Support.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • IPodTouch and iPhone belong to different people but are receiving same texts

    My daughter just got an iPod Touch. For some reason, her texts show up on my wife's iPhone and my wife's texts show up on her iPod. Can anyone help get this ironed out? Thanks so much for your time!

    - Create a NEW account/Apple ID for your daughter using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
    Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    - Use the new iD for Settings>Messages>Send and receive
    - If you want here to have her own FaceTime and Calendar and Contacts the also use the new ID for Settings>FaceTime and Settings>iCloud

  • Are there any alternatives to getting support other than chat or phone? Phone wait is 1  hour and chat keeps on failing - started 4 separate chats with different people and still don't have my issue resolved

    Any others that have had these issues? I have been very close to resolving my issues with a serial number but everytime I get close to the solution my chat session gets interrupted - even though I am on a very reliable, fast internet connection. Tried to call but the average wait time is 1 - 1.5 hr..

    I first blamed it on the wireless and moved to an ethernet connection, which is high speed and very reliable. Then I changed browsers. I didn't allow for any inactive time between replies, but the customer service reps took their time. I have the transcripts that show that I repeatedly asked "are you still there" to ensure I wouldn't loose the connection - but I still did loose it. I tried to call, wait time 1-2 hrs - I think they simply are overloaded.

  • Firefox 4.0 (final released version) not printing on different computers and printers preview same way prints only url on top of pages

    This is happening on different OS's Win 7, Win XP, Win Vista (32 & 64 Bit) OS's and various printers HP, Lexmark that we have at several different sites where we have computers. This happens on locally installed printers (LPT1, USB) and IP networked printers. ALL printer drivers are current and worked correctly under Firefox 3.6.15. Print previews show the correct printers but only shows the URL's on the top of the pages which is all that prints, it even happens on when trying to print pdf's. This is happening on all fifty computers that we have that have been upgraded to ver 4.0 from ver Firefox 3.6.15. Updates made within FF update tool. Same thing happens with all add-ons disabled on all computers. Read all knowledge base items on printing problems none helpful. Obviously, something is not working right. Any suggestions?

    Is there anyone who might be able to offer some suggestions on this issue, please?
    I posted this question/issue 48 hours ago, and it's floating downhill in the queue without any replies. I am still paralyzed, unable to print.
    Bob Headrick, I notice that you are omnipresent on this forum, and also very knowlegeable. May I ask for your thoughts on this issue?  I believe I've followed all the rules here--posting the specifics of the problem, the model numbers and configurations of all equipment, the software involved--but if I've failed to follow forum protocol in any way, please let me know and I'll do my best to post the information you need. I'm sorry to call you out by name, but I'm unclear on how to get help, and I'm at a loss for a solution to this issue.
    Thanks in advance to Bob and/or anyone else who has a moment to help on this incredibly frustrating issue.

  • Can different people sync on the same computer, can different people sync on the same computer

    Can different Iphones be synced on the same laptop?  I somehow got my daughters contacts, and want them gone.   Is there a shortcut to removing unwanted contacts?  We're new to this era of technology.  Seems like I should have never plugged my phone in here.  Thanks, risa2007

  • Unrelated emails with different Subjects and Recipients grouping into conversations

    Hi all,
    This problem appears well documented, and has been discussed here: https://discussions.apple.com/create-account.jspa
    It's only a matter of time until someone in our company misses an email or sends the wrong thread to a customer.
    Does anyone know if Apple have verified the issue and are working on it? Does anyone have a solution? By solution I don't mean a way around it like unselecting View>Organise By Conversation, I mean a fix.
    If Apple cannot fix this we may need to stop using Mac Mail completely. We are using an IMAP Google account so have plenty of options.
    Thanks,
    Sam

    Hi all,
    I believe I have found a workable way around this problem, that I haven't found as a solution anywhere else!
    Select the email that has grouped various Subjects/Conversations etc into one thread, click View in the toolbar at the top, and select 'Hide related messages'. It removes all the incorrectly grouped emails for that conversation. I have checked to see if this has a knock on effect of hiding the emails elsewhere/their individual folders, and it doesn't. They are still present - hiding them from one conversation does not hide or delete them elsewhere.
    Still irritating you have to do this each time Mac Mail groups a message, and this is still a bug which needs fixing.
    Let me know if this works for you too.
    Cheers,
    Sam

  • TS2755 imessages on mountain lion does not show same conversations as iPhone using same iCloud account

    Just got macbook pro with Mountain Lion installed.  Have had an iphone for years and like using Messages as text client on the phone.  I have both iphone and macbook connecting to same Apple ID account, but all of the conversations I have on my iphone are not showing up on my macbook - isn't this supposed to work?

    You should check the iMessage settings on both your devices. Make sure you have identical receive addresses on both. That way you get iMessages sent to your phone number and email (if you use that) delivered to both. For example, if you have a "receive email" on yourMac and iPhone and you don't have your "receive phone number" set on your Mac, then iMessages sent to your email from another person will appear on both devices and iMessages sent to your phone number will only appear on your iPhone.

  • IPad mini apps such as pages,keynote and numbers the same for iPad air regarding upgrade

    Are iPad mini io7 updated apps eg: garage band the same as iPad air ,I updated mini apps now I need to update iPad air whithout having to download again as I'm using expensive 3G .thanks

    Yes they are the same, only if you sync to a computer.
    So you could sync the iPad mini to a Mac, and back up the apps to the Mac.
    Then plug the iPad Air into the Mac (after) and sync the apps from iTunes onto the iPad Air.
    This will work.
    I have even done this with universal apps from my iPad to iPhone and Viseversa.
    You only ever need to download one version of the app.

  • After updating to Yosemite,  headers and footers no longer visible.

    After updating to Yosemite, all of my headers and footers have moved to the back layer, hidden by images and graphics. How do I move them back to the front so they are on top of images and graphics? This has affected all of my old documents where headers and footers used to be visible atop images. In addition, new documents also keep headers and footers all the way to the back layer, so they do not appear on top of images or graphics. Is there a way to fix this?

    Other 'machine' would be my iPad (first edition), but I am not acctually trying to connect at the time......it also applies to my address book and iphoto etc. I keep getting messages that pop up on my screen everytime I am on the computer, asking for the password. Guess I am experiencing problems all 'icloud' . This is getting to be a major irritation.
    Thanks
