Why are my texts getting sent back to me and turned into group messages?

I had an ongoing conversation with someone. There weren't any problems. I sent myself a picture from my laptop to myself in iMessage. When I looked at my phone, it displayed 3 different conversations with my name as the name. I noticed that the last thing I had said to the other person was the message preview for one of my names so it was as if somehow my conversation replaced his. I clicked it open and it appeared to be blank so I deleted it.
I went to send him a text from the new message thing, but when i would send a text to his phone number, it would automatically be sent to me instead and open my name's conversation again.
When I looked at the conversation with him on my laptop in iMessage, the history was all still there, so I tried to send him a message from my laptop and it would display that the message was not sent. Except though it didn't send to him, it did send back to myself again. This time even using his ringtone that I have only for him. I restarted my phone to see if this would fix the problem. When I turned my phone on, it was back to normal with his conversation and all of its history, but when i tried to send him a text again, it turned the conversation into a group message with him, and myself? I'm very confused and I don't know how to fix this. Can anyone help with this problem? I tried searching the internet for people with similar problems and couldn't find anything. :I
Thank you.

If you're exchanging texts with someone who has a basic phone, messages they send to you will be broken up into blocks no larger than 160 characters. They wil also receive your messages broken up in the blocks not larger than 160 characters.

  • Why are my emails getting caught in my outbox and not sending?

    Why are my emails getting caught in my outbox and not sending?

    This started happening to me immediately after updating to 10.9.3. None of the suggestions that I could find through Google (orotherwise) helped at all. Mail.app simply does not try to empty the outbox. I would call AppleCare, but they'll just tell me that the software is fine and that it's unreasonable for me to expect to be able to send email.
    Apple support is a dim shadow of it's former self, but it correctly reflects teh state of Apple development. I picked a horrible time to switch to Mac.

  • Why do I keep getting messanger is not working and wont send my messages

    My droid phone is not sending my messages all of the time. IT says unfortunately our messenger is no longer working and throws me out of the messenger.  This is very frustrating.  What is going on

    Make sure cellular data is turned on. Try sending again.
    You did not say what droid you have, however if you had a kitty Kat update the messaging may have been screwed up.
    Good Luck

  • Why can I only accept the new terms and conditions and keep getting sent back to agreeing (5 times and still going in circles)

    Seems that I can no longer install anything, as every time I get forced to a page to read and accept the new terms and conditions - and no matter if I accept them or not, I only get sent back to read them again.   Another reason my next smartphone will be android based!

    The iTunes and Mac App Store / iCloud problem spontaneously resolved for me as of 21:54 Pacific Standard Time on 9/30/2012.
    Someone at Apple was aware of and fixed the problem. Finally.
    Yeah!

  • Why Are My Text Align Buttons Grayed Out?

    My users are unable to center text when edited pages in CS3 and CS4. The standard paragraph alignment buttons are grayed out.
    All the users of my site have Admin role, and I have set up the role to allow unrestricted editing. And "Allow Users to Apply Styles"... At screenshot of some of my settings is attached. I don't see why Contribute is not allowing this basic element to work.
    Why Are My Text Align Buttons Grayed Out?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I experienced the very same issue, but found an interesting quick-fix that worked for us.
    Several of my webpage content managers reported that they could not change the text alignment in pages created using Dreamweaver nested templates. We use nested editable regions in order to restrict portions of the pages (i.e. banners and navigation menus) from being edited.
    I found that Contribute CS4 could realign text in some parts of the affected pages, but not others.
    Further exam revealed that Contribute could change the alignment on any text that was inside a table on those pages. If I inserted a table and then cut-n-pasted the problem text into the table, the text lost its style/formatting, but it could then have its alignment changed.
    Any text not inside a table could not have the alignment changed by Contribute and changing its style/formatting made no difference.
    One note though: It was interesting that after pasting the text into a table, if I selected a chunk of text, the alignment buttons grayed out again. However, if I simply clicked on the line of text (did not select it), the buttons remained active and the text alignment could be changed.
    I don't know why it is happening. The nested regions were working fine, or so I thought, until recently.
    The above is a quick-fix and got my page content managers back online, but I'm still searching for a long-term solution if anyone has one.
    Good luck...

  • Why are my text messages showing up on my wife's IPhone 6 and her Text messages showing up on my iPhone 6?

    Why are my text messages showing up on my wife's iPhone 6 and her test messages showing up on my IPhone 6?

    its because you guys are using the same Apple ID on both devices , when you use the same it connects to iCloud/iMessages so when ever you get a text on any other iPhone with there iMessages on its going to show on both devices because its the same apple ID that you are using for your iMessages , you can fix that buy gating a new apple ID for one of you ,ore go to your system preferences then go in to your iMessages  remove your email from there make shore its only your number on there ,but the best why is to get another Apple ID.

  • HT5661 why are some texts in blue and some in green

    Why are some texts on the I 4s phone in blue and some in green

    Hi cstack,
    Blue messages are iMessages (i.e., messages sent via Wifi to other Apple devices)
    Green messages are SMS messages (i.e., messages sent via your Cellphone to non-Apple devices, or when Wifi isn't available for Apple devices)
    P.S. Apple devices using iMessage only.
    Cheers,

    The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
    The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
    If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.

  • I've lost a load of notes, but dont know why or how to get them back. I cant find the folder that is in my Yahoo account that people have suggested might be the location for the messages.  I recently signed into iCloud for the first time.

    It should keep asking for the password, because it's trying to check for purchases... As soon as you login, it will see you have pending downloads and create the downloads section on the left below Purchases under the Store section. Then it will start the music downloads there, as they will be listed one below the other.
    You could just try to check your account balance or view your account and that will trigger a password request too. You can just click on that and say that now iTunes keeps asking for the password and ask him to help you with that. Trick would be to interrupt him so that he carries on with another task after, so he doesn't notice the download. Or you carry on with email or browsing which you were "busy" with when iTunes interrupted you for the password (stupid iTunes)

  • HT4515 why are my text messages all of a sudden in green and do not say delivered?

    why are my text messages all of a sudden in green and do not say delivered?  Also for the first time since I obtained the phone I went to use the headphones and the insert to headphones is very loose and I can connect for about 10 seconds then nothing, I do believe it is the jack that inserts into the phone or the phone receptacle is bad or the headphone piece that goes into the phone is bad it is not working is the main issues.  Thank you

    I should also mention we have 2 other iPhone users and 1 Samsung s5 user in my home not having the same problem.

  • Why are my texts sometimes blue(iPhone txt) and sometimes green(txt msg) within minutes of a conversation?

    why are my texts sometimes blue(iPhone txt) and sometimes green(txt msg) within minutes of a conversation?

    If the iPhone can't send the message as an iMessage (blue) it will instead send it as an SMS message (green).
