Why do I get Random Group MMS Messages?

My provider is AT&T and I just returned back to my family's family plan after not being able to cover a cell phone plan on my own finanically. Now I understand that every phone number these days comes with a bunch of calls from people who don't know the previous owner changed the number, but i'm now getting text messages (sometimes with pictures) that are being sent to several other people. None of these people know the person who is texting and don't seem to mind eating the few cents you get charged for it.
Is this a hack? Is there a bug in the IPhone 4S? Is there a bug in IOS? My family is trying to lean back on the phone expense, but this seems to be increasing it even thou it doesn't happen that often. Is this happening to other people?

Click holding the CONTROL key, it produces mostly the same result same result, after a short while it becomes second nature, and al least this way you are having to deal with the inwanted menus. You can also change the location on your trackpad of the secondary click which may work for you. You can get around much faster if you learn some keyboard shortcuts, (I use them all the time, faster and easier on your fingers)

Why can't I receive group text messages?

Why can't I receive group text messages? I can send group messages and receive a response and texting to individuals works also. My carrier is AT&T

Do I really have to have my LTE/3G data enabled in order to send/receive group text messages???? YES.
If so, that's a complete waste of my data package as far as I'm concerned. ... I'm not sure why I can't send/receive group text messages as plain texts????
Group messages are considered MMS, not SMS. MMS is transmitted over the cellular (data) network. It does NOT use your data plan, it uses your texting allowance. But data DOES need to be enabled to send and receive group and picture texts.

If you are using an older version of iWorks, the sharing was, I understand discontinued in July 2012.
New versions of the iWorks suite, Pages etc now have the sharing option, introduced earlier this year.

I had the same problem. Spoke to Apple support who directed me to Itunes support. Frustrating to say the least. Some have said remove virus barrier. I did and still nothing. Some posts have said to delete App store. DON'T DO IT.. App store is tuff to get back. This did work for me. Go to Finder, then go, pick go to folder, type in, /var/folder, and delete (send to trash). There were 2 folders I had to delete, KX & XX, and as soon as I sent them to the trash they returned but I was able to download & intall Mountain Lion and working well. Good luck..

Why do I get a "Transcode Failed" message?

Dear friends on the forum;
I have created a complex project in Encore with several levels. It starts off with an opening menu whose choices are two video files and a link to a sub-menu. This sub-menu then offers links to several sub-sub menus which, in turn, offer links to a number of video files each. We are talking a total of 25 movies in all; some short (a minute and a half) some long (90minutes). The Encore file is on my computer's hard drive and the relevant video files are on an external hard drive, accessed by USB cable. I have created other DVDs in the past using this arrangement with no trouble. Why am I having problems now? Is it because of the complexity of this project? The total size of these files is about 3 1/2 gb--not too big for the DVD. I checked the project before clicking "Build" and no problems surfaced. I am running a Hewlett-Packard HPE-470f computer with a 64-bit Windows 7 o/s. I have an AMD processor with 3.2 ghz and 8gb of RAM.
Can anyone help me with this? Many thanks!
Regards, Lewis

That gives me lots of grist for my mill, John. Thanks!

I skipped from CS3 (Pentium 4 CPU with 2Gig system ram and 2 hard drives... very slow, but it worked OK for AVI files and overnight Encore encoding) to a new computer for CS5 - read http://forums.adobe.com/thread/652694?tstart=0
Since upgrading to CS5 from CS5 may mean a new computer, I can't really advise you on that
The Windows swap or paging file is where Windows puts things that it needs quick access to... sorta like you put your wallet in your pocket instead of in your dresser drawer, so you have it handy to pay at the grocery store
The idea is to "spread the load" so no one hard drive is working too hard and becomes bogged down
Video editing, like "high end" gaming, requires a LOT of computing power
My previous computer worked for CS3 and AVI... I had to build a new computer for CS5 and AVCHD files
You should (in my opinion) add a 2nd internal 7200rpm hard drive (never a "green" drive... too slow for video editing) and keep your boot drive for only Windows and software... this is the minimum (again, my opinion... but go read in the hardware sub-forum)

- click the embedded picture in Harm's message to enlarge to reading size
- you need AT LEAST 2 drives for video editing, 3 is better
- some HD formats work better with (require) RAID

Why am I getting the following error message? "You can’t open the application “Microsoft Word” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." I never used to have a proble!

Only Office for Mac 2008 and 2011 will run on Mavericks. Microsoft support for the former package ended in April 2013. If you do not want to spend the money, you might download and try the donation-ware (free) LibreOffice Suite. No ribbon bar crap. Supports about any document created on Windows.

Why do I get an "invalid signature" message when trying to download the latest version of iTunes?

Why do I get an "invalid signature" message when trying to download the latest version of iTunes? Apple Support is the lamest excuse for support I have EVER seen.

That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

Sign out of your Apple ID, reboot yor iPad and sign in again.
Settings>iTunes and App Store. Tap your ID and sign out.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
Go go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store. Sign in. Try to download the free apps again.

Why can't I send group text messages on my Iphone 3GS any longer?

I have been sending and receiving group text messages on my iphone 3GS for awhile and all of a sudden I am receiving "Message Send Failure" error messages when I try to send a group message. I think I still get group messages but you can no longer see that it is a group message and who the group members are. I turned the Group setting off and then back on in Settings and turned the phone off and back on with no improvement.

Make sure your account is provisioned for messaging/texting.
Also, Settings > Messages > MMS Messaging > On

Weird Group MMS message.

This morning at 2:38 AM I receieved a txt message. It was a "Group MMS" with 10 phone numbers listed. I only knew one of the phone numbers. It was a friend of mine, the message was just a picture of that friend. I've never seen the picture but I'm now getting txt's from a few people in that list saying that I send out the txt message when that's not the case. What's going on here?

I had the same thing happen to me, also when I replied it sent my reply to all. I turned off Group Messaging (Settings - Messages - Group Messaging). You'll still be able to send to multiple people, it will just keep replies from going to everyone in the list.

Why do I get a "script error" from flash player when it is not installed separately? It is part of my browser--IE 11

Same error message, I disabled tab mix and made sure I only have the newest version of Java, restarted firefox, now it seems to be fine no error yet on Pogo games or pictures upload to ebay which were the biggest problems besides hanging. I had also had disabled AVG secure search yesterday but that did not solve the issue. Now I will try to add back in AVG search...I have very few adds ons, also the note embedded about re- installing a toolbar went away, my old one did not work with FF4, so I installed Yahoo toolbar but the message still did not go away until I applied this fix. Hopes this helps someone..
