URL behaviour in Messages has changed

Until recently, I could drag a URL from the Location bar in Safari to Messages and it would send as a hyperlink using the title of the page.
Now when I drag a URL to a Message window, it becomes a URL attachment (see attached screen cap.).
Is this a "feature" of 10.9.2?
If so, I don't like it.
Is there any way to restore the old behaviour?
Thanks,
Rob

Hi,
In Firefox I see this URL and icon for this thread.
If I clcik and hold the Apple US bit I get a floaty padlock image.
I can drag this to Messages.
Messages changes it to the title of the Thread but still as a link.
Which works when received in another Buddy list.
AS you say in Safari it creates file that is transferred but this then works as a link
That looks like it might be Safari rather than Messages.

I have updated to the new ios 7 and the messaging has changed a bit how can i forward a message

I have updated my phone to ios 7 and the messaging has changed a bit how can I forward a message?

have you restarted the iPhone? if not, press and hold both the sleep and home button until screen goes black and apple logo come up, then release them. Let me know if that helped.

Message has changed

I just spent a lot of time cleaning up my inbox by setting up rules and moving messages to mailboxes on my mac rather than leaving them on the server.
I made mailboxes and sub-mailboxes. I used the rules to move messages. Some I moved manually.
Most of them are fine, but others have changed. Instead of the mesage, I get a note that says "The message from xxxxxhas not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it.
But that message is no longer on the server as I have moved it to my mac. I am online with the account. I don't understand what has happened to the message.

This is one of the many bogus error messages in Mail that have absolutely nothing to do with what the problem really is. Don’t try to make sense of it. What the error message really means in the case of Mail 2.x is that the *.emlx file associated with the message isn’t where the index says it should be.
Mail has quite a few bugs & glitches when it comes to managing and/or renaming custom mailboxes. Here’s a recent example that describes a problem similar to what may have happened to you:
Crazy problem moving nested folders
In order to fix the problem, proceed as follows:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your mail is stored.
3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see an Envelope Index-journal file there, delete it as well.
4. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index -- Mail says it’s “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

Mail format has changed...

I checked my e-mail before I went to bed last night and all was well... This morning I can receive and send e-mails, but the format of every message has changed! Lines of text are perhaps a dozen spaces apart, rather than single or double spaced. I restarted and then rebuilt the mailbox, but it persists.
Any ideas? Thanks.
C.

Charles,
Not sure this is the cause, but see:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4923736&#4923736
Not sure if I have seen this cited for Leopard and Mail 3.x, but would expect things to be similar.
You should check for the continued presence of the Helvetica.dfont, but since that is necessary for good operation of Safari and some other apps, it is probably not the issue here.
Btw, is the Photoshop CS4 or the entire Creative Suite?

Has there been updates to transcription support in a PS 4 Windows Update? Behaviour has changed...

I utilise PowerShell transcription support heavily in my PS scripts. Essentially I utilise transcription as a replacement to having a logging framework - all logging is performed via Write-Host, Write-Verbose and Write-Debug calls, and then logged to file
via a call to Start-Transcript at the start of script execution.
Transcription support in PS versions prior to 5 is limited in that it is hard coded in the Start-Transcript and Stop-Transcript commands to throw an exception if the host is not an instance of Microsoft.PowerShell.ConsoleHost. Also, to make it even more difficult,
Stop-Transcript throws an error when there is no active transcript; but there is no way to detect if there is. Therefore, I use reflection to get the ConsoleHost.IsTranscribing internal property value to determine whether to call Stop-Transcript at script
completion. This logic has worked fine for PS versions 2, 3 and 4. However, more recently I believe a Windows Update patch has changed the way the transcription works. It appears that PS 4 now supports transcription functionality that I thought was PS 5 (CTP)
specific - nested transcription sessions (i.e. you can now continually call Start-Transcript and it will create more sessions, rather than throw an error when there is an active session). Also, the internals of how transcription is managed must have
changed because the IsTranscribing property no longer returns the correct value. I am unsure if there is now a "supported" way of checking for this rather than hacking into the internals of the host. This change results in my script creating multiple
transcription sessions as it does not know there is already transcription started.
Does anyone know if there has been any updates in PS 4 for the transcription functionality? Or any other details regarding this?
Cheers

Hi Anna,
Thanks for the response. Can you make sense of the info below? Transcription appears completely broken
on the build on my machine, which I have not installed any PS CTP on. I am worried a hotfix such as KB3000850 which has also caused me the grief here:

...has been installed via Windows Update. I am running Windows 8.1 and all latest updates applied as at 23 April.
My $PSVersionTable is the same as yours except for "BuildVersion" 6.3.9600.17400. I can also call Start-Transcript continually and it will keep creating sessions. Once I do this all sessions receive data once I
enter more commands in the console (i.e. each file is getting the same data). This is the behaviour I would have expected in PS 5 with the transcription updates, but not in a PS 4 update.
NOTE: In addition to this, the data being fed into the transcription file is NOT the same format as the standard transcription format. The transcription file contains different data and
is not a true reflection of what is on the console). The following data is being output to the transcription file after each command:
CurrentMatchIndex              ReplacementIndex             ReplacementLength CompletionMatches
                           -1
0                             8 {System.Management.Automat...
In addition to that (I haven't had a chance to look into this in detail), but the log files that are being generated by the PS module I have written are now containing a heap of contents that appear to be generated each time an exception
is thrown (even if it has been caught?)
"PS>TerminatingError(Invoke-Expression): xxxxxxx" and
"PS>TerminatingError(): "The pipeline has been stopped.""
messages, but no host, verbose, or debug data (i.e. terminating error details only, which I have never seen in the transcript file before). That's correct -
the transcription file doesn't contain any of the data it used to, just error info that did not used to be in there!!
Please assist urgently, this is a critical issue for me.

Behaviour for Calender in iOS 5 has changed - but rather irritating

After upgrading to iOS 5 the behaviour in Calendar in iPhone has changed - and not to it's advantage. There are two issues, and they go like this:
1.
Before: When I moved an event in Calendar fra e.g. Nov. 2nd to Dec 2nd the Calender window stay positioned at the Nov 2nd I moved the event FROM.
Now: In iOS5 you are now moved foreward TO the date Dec 2nd you move the event TO. From there I have to scroll back to the date Nov 2nd for further editing on that date. Rather irritating when you have for instance ten event you have to move to a date in the future.
Is it possible to change these settings so you stay in the calendar at the date you started editing?
I have not been able to find out how or if this is possible, but maybe someone knows?
2.
Before: When you wished to delete an event in the Calendar, the delete button was quite close to the top, and a light scroll made it visible.
Now: In iOS5 there is now a rather big square for Notes at the bottom and before the delete button. So now you have to scroll two times instead of one. Time consuming when you use this often.
Can this square with Notes be deleted somehow?
Help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Strictly speaking, you are right to say that IMAP does not support Push (I think there is a P-IMAP protocol that does).
But the feature (i.e. automatically downloading messages from the server as they arrive at the server) definitely exists, and it worked just fine before iOS5 (it still works in the mail on a mac I believe). Your IMAP mail server needs to support IDLE, but assuming that it does, you can receive mail the same way you would via push mail.
But in answer to the OP's question, my understanding is that the latest version of iOS5 no longer supports the IDLE command (just like push, but calling it that apparently causes confusion for some) in IMAP. So until another update, I think we are stuck with fetching every 15 min.

You will need to contact iTunes support.

Ask your question.please help itunes will not launch on my computer the icon on desktop has changed to a white folder no error message appears and it appears but then disappears in task manager when the programme will not open quick time is working

please help i need to fix my itunes it will not launch on my computer . no error message appears it simply will not run. the icon on desktop has changed to a white folder and it still appears in programmes in start menu but will not open. it appears in task manager but disappears when the programme will not open

You music etc should not be affected by problems with the iTunes program, nevertheless it is always a good idea to backup your data.
You haven't said if there was any error message when you tried to start iTunes. If there was one please give it in full.
Also check to see if QuickTime works, iTunes can not work without it. If QuickTime doesn't work, it has to be fixed before worrying about iTunes.
Then restart your PC and open your Task manger and select the Processes tab.
Try to start iTunes, does iTunes.exe appear on the processes tab? If so does it disappear again or remain although the programs does not open?

"Your session has timed out,try again." is the message I get every time I try to purchase a song on itunes. My last purchase was June 11, 2011, and nothing has changed since then.

"Your session has timed out, try again." is the message I get every time I try to purchase a song. My last purchase was june of this year, and nothing has changed since then.

I had this problem, but it was because I was clicking on an external link. Try instead going straight into iTunes, then going to the Podcast section. At the bottom of the "Podcast Quick Links" section, there's a text, "Submit a Podcast." Click on this instead. Once I did, I got to the same page as before, but it did process the feed.
Good luck!

Idoc error message "This change has been superseded by another"

Hi,
I am trying to process multiple idocs together which will create/update info records using the program RBDAPP01. But it is processing correctly only single record and for all other records its giving the error message "This change has been superseded by another"
The function module used for processing is IDOC_INPUT_INFREC and when I checked this error is coming from it. Infact it is comparing the output of FM IDOC_SERIALIZATION_CHECK and populating the error message.
If we process the same record in single, it is processing correctly and not giving such kind of message.
I am not sure what is happening here. Please help.

I was trying to create multiple PIR for same material using multiple idocs. And that is the reason it is giving the error when trying to process the idocs together. When I tried changing the same into one record ie different PIR for same article in one idoc, its processing correctly.

Message "Backup disk identification has changed since the last copy"

Hello!
I have MD033 Time Capsule and my iMac 2012 and MacBook Pro connected to it. Time Machine is set to backup @ this disk.
Every once in a while I get the message you see in attach on my machines. Approximately it means "Your backup disk identificator has changed since the last backup (Possible reason the disk was changed or erased since the last backup or someone is trying to make you make aт illegal backup not on your disk "
I get this message from time to time both on iMac and MacBook but not simulateoneously. Once in a week or a month.
I already reinstalled anew systems on my machines and even replaced time capsule itself to the same model (absolutely new, factory sealed), not even mentioning formatting its disk a dozen times and resetting TC.
Does someone have same problem? Russian support couldn't help and directs me to a repair. But I really doubt that BOTH MacBook Pro and iMac have EXACTLY the same problem with TC. Everything seems as it is a software problem with some of the program

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
It may not show anything useful, but try this: Disconnect all external and network volumes. In the Finder invoke the menu option Go > Go to Folder. In the resulting field type "/Volumes" (without the quotes) and click "Go". In the resulting window you should only see entries for any internal volumes. If you see anything else, particularly an item with the same name as your Time Machine volume, you may have the problem described in this article:
http://db.tidbits.com/article/9620
You should trash any such things. The way to prevent this in the future is to prevent any process from running that would write to external volumes that aren't mounted. For Time Machine, turn it off, then when you want to back up, mount the Time Machine volume and choose "Back Up Now" from the Time Machine menu item.

Okay ... it's a better bet with a 1067 error message when trying to start the Apple Mobile Device Service, but we'd better check for a LSP issue, as per the following document:

Atv error message "Your email address has changed or is invalid...."

this error message first appeared when i originally bought my atv in the spring. After tech support and swapping the my first atv, I eventually setup a second itunes account with a new email address and the issue went away. However occasionally it persists. the full message is "Your email address has changed or is invalid. Go to the itunes store on your computer and update your account info." Surprisingly I am able to log in to itunes on my computer with the same email address and login on my apple tv, but when i attempt to purchase or rent the error message appears and prevents my from buying. Sometimes like tonight i give up and just don't purchase anything. Anyone know how to fix this?

We had this same problem, and we found a fix that seems to have worked. It's a silly bug having to do with a change in the way your state of residence is stored in your account. The problem and fix is described here:

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.
