When I receive an imessage from someone on my iphone and I respond, how do I stop it from responding to all recipients and just have it sent to the person who sent it to me?
My niece sent me a text yesterday with a photo of her baby. I responded to her but it went to everybody she had sent the initial text to. How do I just respond to her?
Okay than this definitely was not Apple. Apple support techs never have access to your mouse. It sounds like this company installed some software on your Mac. It is hard to tell what their intentions are but just assume in these situations that all your data was compromised. Possibly all your online accounts have been compromised such as social networks, banks, etc.. The smartest thing to do would be to change all of your passwords and reinstall OS X on your Mac. It sounds extreme but that's what happens when a 3rd party company gains control of your computer.

why every time i hit my new message or iMessage notification it goes and creates a new message to the person who sent the message?
Hey Rkbethel
There are two ways to resolve this for you. For the first is go and do a Reset All Settings by going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. It will not delete anything on your iPhone, but it will put all settings back to default. If it does not work, the next step would be to restore the iPhone back to factory settings.

A friend is complaining that every time I send him a text message to his iphone from my iphone it goes to his ipad. How can I stop this from occurring ?
If he has iMessage on his iPad set to receive at his iPhone's phone number, that is exactly what is supposed to happen. There's nothiing you can do - he needs to remove his iPhone number from his "you can be reached at" iMessage settings on his iPad.

My wife and I have a iPhone 4S each and an I pad. When I send a email from my phone and from my iPad her name comes up as the sender. We only have one contact email address and that is the way we warn to keep it.
Please can someone tell me how I can change this so when I send a mail from my phone and from the IPad that it reads from me.

You need a separate email address but you've already ruled out that solution. -
Every time I type a sentence or even a couple of letters, it automatically highlights and then deletes. My trackpad also seems extra sensitive and every time th mouse hovers over something, without clicking it will pick it up or highlight any text, how do i get this to stop?????

I have an iPhone and my partner also has an iPhone. I also have 2 children with iPhones and we are all connected to my iTunes account. When I send an imessage to my partner does it also go to my children's phones? Because we are all using my iTunes account.
It's not the iTunes account, it's Apple ID that iMessages gets distributed.

How do I stop itunes from creating a 'Music' folder inside my music folder?
I'm trying to set up my library on a new computer and I'm running into a very BIG problem.
Previously, I had let iTunes manage the directory structure, which in my opine does quite well: Artist / Album / Song. Trying to import the library into the new computer is causing a new folder to appear at the Artist level, called 'Music', and the artist directories are moved under it as they get imported.
This makes no sense to me. The versions of iTunes are the same: 9.0.2 - and this was NOT done whenever I imported a CD. The settings are the same - I like the settings a certain way and I made sure of that. The 'let itunes mange...' is checked on the new computer just like it was on the old. But the new computer is refusing to let the music stay in the same structure as the old one did.
The only real difference I can think of is that I'm trying to import the directory containing the structure, rather than importing them disc by disc, and that I'm trying to import the library from the library directory itself (ie: importing c:\itunes when the library is also sourced at c:\itunes). But I've done this before with previous versions of itunes without this problem occurring. How come the old versions knew how to handle this as expected, but the new one doesn't?
And most importantly - How do I stop it from happening now?Reading through that article - there's two important pieces of information.
1 - It says that you have to select "Upgrade to iTunes Media organization" in order to enable this so-called feature, which is still unchecked on my machine (ie: I didn't do it).
2 - It says that it's enabled by default in iTunes 9.
Kinda conflicting there, it still says it ISN'T enabled on my PC but I apparently have to deal with it anyway. Why bother pretending to give me a choice at all if it's just going to be enabled by default?
I'm gonna go wipe itunes now and start at version 8 - maybe the upgrade path will keep my directories the way I like them instead of itunes lying to me about the new media layout. -
When Firefox 5.0 starts, it automatically adds a new blank tab. How can I stop that?
When I launch Firefax 5.0, a second blank tab automatically launches. How can I stop that from happening, as it reduces visible display area and I then have to close the tab?

Why does the cursor keep going to the address bar and how can i stop it from doing that?
For some reason after one of your updates, the cursor on the browser always goes to the address bar. It deletes the address and wants me to type in a search term. I have gone through the necessary changes that your support page suggested to turn that feature off, but it still does it.
It is seriously irritating and inconvenient. How do I stop it from doing that. I am very close to not using Foxfire anymore as my default Browser. Please let me know how to fix this problem.For me at least, it's not a mouse setting.
It started after an update a couple of months back and nothing I can do will change it. Tried running in safe mode, it does it, tried a reset, still does it. uninstalled, reinstalled, does it now too.
It's infuriating!

When sending/receiving an iMessage (from gmail address) how can I then receive or access my iMessages on my actual gmail account/inbox?
Hi,
The Messages app can join 5 different services.
The "iChat Originals" that include AIM, Jabber and Yahoo (although they were added at different times to the app)
The Bonjour account that has been present for LAN based Mac to Mac chat and lastly the iMessages account in the Messages app that iChat has become.
Google email IDs can be used as a Jabber ID in Messages as Google run a Jabber server.
As the Google server does not follow conventional naming formatting it has it's own Add option in Messages.
Effectively all the services are separate.
Any email used as an Apple ID can be the iMessages account.
Of course this may be a Google one like you have that can also be used as Jabber/GoogleTalk ID or it may be an Apple issued ID (@mac.com @me.com or @icloud.com) that will also work as a Valid AIM Screen Name.
It may be that someone has their Yahoo email as their Apple ID.

when someone texts my email address it no longers shows up as an email in my inbox, only as a imessage, how do I stop that from happening? I do not use imessage at all.
This is not something on your end. If they send an iMessage it will arrive as an iMessage, if the send an email it will arrive as an email.
THey are sepearate services that cannot be mixed up.
Tell them to send you an email, rather than an iMessage.
If they are using the messages App it will always arrive as a Message. -
For some reason when my daughter sends a text to someone else I get it and vice versa. Also, when I send a text to her the text comes to me as well. How do I stop this from happening?
This is iMessages, not an SMS/MMS, and this means the same Apple ID is registered for iMessage on each iPhone.
You or your daughter need to activate your own Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime. The same Apple ID can continue to be shared for iTunes store downloads - for music and apps.
On the iPhone, go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Select the Apple ID at the top and sign out. Sign in with the new Apple ID.
Make sure the same email address is not available below You can be reached by iMessage at on each iPhone.
