Why does Messages still send my txt via SMS when I have the "send as SMS" option turned off?

Why does Messages still send my txt via SMS when I have the "send as SMS" option turned off?

I haven't missed any point, but you don't get it.
If people take "Send as SMS" being turned off as the iPhone shoiuld not be sending SMS messages without reading this text that is included below the option:
Send as SMS when iMessage is unavailable. Carrier messaging rates may apply.
They are idiots.
But you're saying you have this other piece of information that tells you that this option only applies to two iphones exchanging txt.  Where did you obtain such information?
Copied from my previous post.
Under the Send as SMS option, the following is available:
Send as SMS when iMessage is unavailable. Carrier messaging rates may apply.
You should check available text below an option such as this so you know what it does.

  • Why does my external monitor name and resolution change when I close the lid?

    When I close my lid on my early 2001 MBP, the external monitor reverts to a lower resolution.  I am not even able to select the proper resolution.  
    I am using VGA (I need VGA for my KVM).   When the lid is open, the monitor sees the correct monitor, and I can set the correct resolution.   When the lid closes, it only shows a genertic VGA monitor and defaults to a lower resolution.  I am not able to change the resolution up when I have the lid closed as well.   Does anyone have any insight into this?

  • I just purchased a 6  and there is a static sound coming out of the speaker when it is idle. I have the sound on low and turned off and it still makes the static sound.

    I just purchased a 128 Gig iPhone 6+. When I have the sound off and volume as low as possible, I get a static sound coming out of the speakers. It is distracting and annoying when I am in meetings, etc. Does anyone know what to do? Thanks in advance.

    Couple of things you can try but it looks like you may have to take it in
    1. Settings --> Cellular --> Change "Enable LTE" to just "Data" if available
    2. Toggle your ringer off and on
    3. Settings --> General --> Accessibility --> Toggle Noise reduction off and on
    If none of the above works - consider taking it to Apple
    If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker - Apple Support

  • Why does itunes and other media continue to play when i close the lid on my macbook pro 2011???

    Hey, I am new to mac and still getting used to it (making the transition from windows), its amazing! Anyhow, I cannot figure out why my itunes and other media like youtube or a film on vlc player continues to play once the lid has been closed. I thought that when i close the lid the macbook should then sleep. It does everytime when there is nothing playing. The little white light on the bottom right hand corner of the book is on but music continues to play.
    The sleep option always works. If I press the power button and choose the option sleep it does so etcc.
    Is this normal and am I just being stupid or is there a problem??
    I bought the laptop from ebay, its a macbook pro late 2011 17inch. I dont have apple support and might have to make a trip into London to the mac store however I was hoping someone can help me...    
    Processor  2.4 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory  4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
    Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
    Thanks if you can it is muc appreciated....!!

    hey, thanks for the reply. I don't know to be perfectly honest. When I close the lid without any music playing it sleeps fine. How could I check?
    So basically I pressed the power button and pressed sleep. The laptop turned off and the little white light turned on no problem. I did the same thing with closing the lid and it went to sleep no problem. (Can you confirm that when the little white light is on it means the laptop is sleeping)??.
    I then had itunes playing and pressed the power button and when i pressed sleep the music paused then 6 seconds later it went to sleep. I then had itunes playing and closed the lid and the music kept on playing even though the white light was on.
    What do you think  jessejarvi?

  • Why does a face show up on my iPad when I have deleted it from aperture

    I am using aperture to tag a modestly large library (about 22,000 photos) all for personal use. I've been going through these photos and tagging faces. As a sort of "holding pen" for faces that I wasn't sure about in the unnamed faces strip at the bottom of the faces page, I put ?? (i.e., two question marks) as the name for a bunch of photos. Then I went through that face and either put the right name in, when I was able to see the full picture, or deleted the face - i.e., clicked the little x in the upper right hand corner of the box surrounding the face.
    Most of the images disappeared just fine, and the "??" face no longer appears on the cork board in my aperture. I can find no evidence anywhere that I can see that the ?? face tag still exists in aperture.
    But it must, because when I sync with my ipad, there is a face called ?? and there are pictures in it. When I look at those pictures in aperture on my Mac, I can't find the face - I must have deleted it.
    Does anyone know why this is happening and how to stop it?
    I have been having trouble with aperture syncing in other ways - I was getting a variety of errors in itunes when syncing the ipad - and so have gone through many steps, including repairing permissions in my aperture database, repairing the database, regenerating previews, turning synchronization off and on, repairing permissions on my hard drive, deleting the preferences (plist) file, and so forth, but even doing a clean installation of the photos onto my ipad (i.e., turning off sync and deleting photos on ipad, then turning it back on and putting the photos back on from aperture after doing all the above steps), I am STILL getting this ?? face.
    All help will be gratefully received.

    Homesharing has issues that have not been fixed over several versions of itunes and ios.
    Only kind of fix is go back through your library and retag it.

  • Why does my iTunes billing invoice list songs individually when I bought the whole album?

    and how do I check I'm not being over charged/ can I change this invoving peculiarity?
    Thanks! 

    Thank you for the swift reply, but do you know why the invoices list songs individually instead of just the album name/price, when I bought the whole album and not one song at a time??

  • Why does Bridge open raw files (ndg) in Raw window even though the 'Open in Photoshop' option is...

    I don't understand why in Bridge there are 2 choices, -1- Open raw and -2- Open in Photoshop and yet both choices give you the same result--The raw window opens  with PS below it. After having worked on my raw NEF files I save it to dng. My thinking behind this, is that I alreay have done what was needed and would now like to start working on it within Photoshop. It seems that the only way to automatically open it directly within PS is if I save it as a tiff, psd or jpg. But since this is not what I want to do then why must I add extra steps as opposed to just opening it hwere I want. I mean the 2 choices are there, so why not do what it is being asked?

    If I may step in in this discussion, I always use DNG but never have used ACR to achieve this result.
    As Curt stated the changes made in ACR to a Raw file (or for that matter a DNG file) are undoable without problems.
    My workflow (using Canon CR2 but that is not important, let's say a dSLR generated Raw File) is to use Photodownloader in Bridge (not perfect by far but still the best and easiest way for me).
    I connect my CF card using a card reader and let Adobe Photodownloader do the work.
    Inhere I use several options:
    - convert the CR2 file to a DNG
    - back up the original CR2 on a separate disk
    - rename the DNG to yyyymmdd (shot date) and sequence number
    - add a metadata template for copyright to all the DNG files.
    Sorting out the keepers I open the DNG in ACR and either hit Open (for open directly in PS) or use save as Tiff or PSD depending on next step in development or simply hit Done to apply changes and leave it for later use.
    The advantage of having both ACR in PS and Bridge is huge. The only difference between both is that by default PS has the Open Button selected and Bridge (open in Camera Raw) has the Done button selected, thats all.
    But here is the good part, you can use both simultaneously! For example have PS in film strip mode with multiple files selected and when changes are ready hit Save as start the process but locks up PS itself. Switch to Bridge and use Open in Camera Raw and start with the next job while ACR PS is still running in the background
    When I open a DNG in PS using ACR in either PS or Bridge I continue developing with actions and fine tune with layer mask, brush etc etc.
    Sometimes use Save As for PSD with the layers still active (huge files) when needing to revisit or not quite ready. But mostly I use an action to flatten the files and save as PSD.
    Both DNG and PSD are ending up in my archive, my clients receive whet they want, PSD, Tiff but mostly jpeg and resized.
    When having the job finished and every once in a while I clear out the original CR2 files from Back up because in all the years I use DNG (at least 5 years) I never had to use the original CR2 instead of the DNG that is thoroughly backed up as is the original PSD.
    But since disk space is cheap you can choose to keep them.
    An other option is to include the original raw file in the DNG but I would not recommend that because the file size is getting almost twice as big.
    The biggest plus side for me using DNG is that the xmp data is written directly to the file while original CR2 or NEF needs an xmp side car file next to it with this data.
    However saving changes to metadata is taking a bit longer to a DNG then to an XMP side car file, depending on system resources and time this never been a real problem for me

  • Why does CC say I can 'Try' an app when I have pre-paid 1 year?

    I am having trouble downloading apps from the Creative Cloud app on my Mac book Pro.
    It says Try where it should say Install.
    Why is this? I don't want to have to DL the app from my browser, it kind of defeats the object of having the CC app.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    I believe if your subscription does not include applications it can list them as Try rather than Install.  If you are not getting access to what you paid for try contacting Adobe Support directly thru chat.

  • Why does apple tv always connect to itunes even when I own the movie and it is on my computer?

    So I have my entire itunes library on a HD that I bring with my laptop back and forth. My problem is not at my house where I have an internet connection, but it is at my cabin in the woods where I do not have an internet connection.  Why is my apple tv always trying to connect to the itunes store whenever the movie I am trying to play is on my computer and on the network?  I have an airport express setup creating my network, but like I said I do not have an internet connection.  I am just using the AX to give me a wifi network.  It is constantly looking for the itunes store.  Is there a way to bypass this, or is this a Apple security feature?  Thanks

    I understand that point. They are mostly bought from iTunes. But, I can watch on my laptop, iPad, iPhone on an airplane or wherever without an Internet connection. So why the hang up on my apple tv, should it not just be an extension of my laptop?

    Can anyone help me?  Why does my ipad kick me out of FB?  Sometimes to the 'settings' page and sometimes to the desk top?  I would like to know why this happens and what I can check or change to make it stop.   I have 50.8 GB of capacity available; it is version IOS 5.1.1; model MC497LL.  It is WIFI and internet via AT&T?   Can anyone give me some clues on what to do; or change in settings???  Thank you very much! 

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • I dropped my iphone 3gs in water and grabbed it immediately out. It gave me a charger is not supported with device screen every minute or two. I powered it off for the night. I havent experienced problems since. Why does it still work?

    I dropped my iphone 3gs in water and grabbed it immediately out. It gave me a charger not supported sign every minute or two. I decided to turn it off for the night and the next morning it worked fine and only the bottom sensor was triggered. Why does it still work and how long will it last?

    Water in itself will not kill electronic components if you let it dry out.  Your first reaction to turn it off was a good one but you could have waited even longer.
    It also depends what's on your water that will stay after the water itself had dried; like salt. Anything that iseither acid or conductor left on the circuit board will reduce the life of the board.  Given said this, no one could state how long your iPhone will work since no one will know for sure where the water had time to infiltrate before you removed your device and no one what's may left there.
    Consider yourself lucky.  I don't understand however what you mean by a sensor triggered.

  • Why does Safari still accept cookies, even when I put Block Cookies "Always"

    Why does Safari still accept cookies, even when I put Block Cookies "Always",? There are always a list of every website with cookies. Is that just a record of what could've been accepted or its a bogus feature that still accepts regardless of what feature is on?

    Apple has rolled over users since OS X 10.6.8 when this issue first appeared.
    If you want a browser that actually CARES about it's users, then install Firefox, it's the only one that does.
