Why does my iMessage change from iMessage to SMS text randomly?

My iMessage will randomly change from sending an iMessage (to contacts that also have iMessage) to SMS text. When this happens, my internet also stops working. Safari, Twitter, Facebook, everything. It always happens at the same time and then it will randomly come back but it is frustrating because no one receives my texts during that time.

Settings > Messages > Send as SMS > OFF will stop iMessage from reverting to SMS, but it will not fix your network issue.
The fact that your contacts are not receiving SMS from you is something, along with the network issue, that needs to be addressed with the carrier.

  • Why does the colour change from web browsers to CS5?

    Hi there
    I´m running OSX 10.6.4 on a MacPro 2009, 2x2.26, 16 gb RAM.
    Photoshop CS5 12.0.1.
    When I import photos from the web (Safari or Firefox) to Photoshop, the colour changes drastically.
    The only time the colours stay the same, is if I set the colour management to North American General Purpose 2, but this is a setting
    I can´t use. I need to use my Spyder 3-calibrated RGB profile as RGB work space, and I use Fogra 27 or a specific cover art profile
    for CMYK use.
    I enclose a screenshot of my settings and the problems that occur.
    Can someone help?
    All the best!
    Hakon, Norway

    When I import photos from the web (Safari or Firefox) to Photoshop, the colour changes drastically.
    Most of the photos on the Web will be un-tagged sRGB (if they have a tag, an embedded profile, Photoshop (and color-managed browsers) will pick up the profile and display it properly...).
    The short answer is to open the un-tagged file in in Photoshop> Edit> Assign Profile: sRGB
    You may know, the Mac OS applies its default Monitor profile to untagged color, whereas, Photoshop will apply its default Working RGB if you tell it not to manage the document...if you have a wide-gamut monitor and Assign MonitorRGB to an sRGB file, you get an intense saturation boost especially in the reds (is a clue).
    YOU MAY BE WISE to set something like sRGB as your Photoshop Working RGB with these Color Management Policies (to try and figure out what's going on)...
    MonitorRGB equals Photoshop WorkingRGB (as you are set up there) is a disaster for any number of reasons — Photoshop already displays through the monitor profile so setting its Working Space to your monitor profile is BAD workflow for 99.99 percent of the users who setup that workflow...

  • Why does the phone change from landscape at 20 degrees?  Horrible for watching videos laying down.

    Very annoying non feature for the iPhone is the inability to lock video playback in landscape mode.

    Sorry, I read your message too quickly. Most apps that show video automatically lock the screen in landscape; at least the built in youtube and a couple that I have do.

  • Why does iCal automatically change the date of the entry i am making to the day before??

    why does iCal automatically change the date of the entry i am making to the day before??
    for example, when i am attempting to make a 'all-day' appointment on october 2nd 2011, it automatically shifts it to october 1st.
    but if i am doing a timed appointment for only a few hours, it will allow me to put it on that day.
    i am trying to put in travel dates so any help on how to fix this, would be greatly appreciated.

    alsdman,
    Quit iCal, and try removing the com.apple.iCal.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Since that Library is now hidden, you have to use the Finder>Go Menu>Depress the "Option" key>Library. Drag the .plist file to your desktop, and log out/in or restart and check iCal for functionality.
    Also go to System Preferences...>Language & Text>Formats>Region: and set/re-set the appropriate "Region."

  • Why does all alphabets change to capital when converting pdf to word using Adobe Acrobat XI

    Why does all alphabets change to capital when converting pdf to word using Adobe Acrobat XI

    Word 2013 uses its own pdf creator engine as far as I know. The step I performed were:
    1 - In the save settings I told word to embed fonts (sorry for the language, I have the Italian client)
    2 - Export from Word -> Save As -> .pdf adding also the table of contents/index
    N.B. I cannot use PDF/A, and in any case it doesn't embed the font
    A working solution is to use Acrobat XI to convert it or print with Adobe PDF printer, results:
    The problems are 2:
    1 - It doesn't create any bookmark and doesn't create links from the table of images to the linked images
    2 - Images, also with the preset "High Quality Printing" customized using "No compression", are really ugly and if you zoom a bit more than 100% they totally be s**t. It wasn't that way with PDF created by word.
    In the end, or I find they way to open the pdf created by word and embedd the missing font, or I find a way to make Acrobat XI creating bookmarks from the word file.
    Suggestion?

  • Why does my font change when i publish my site on mobileme?

    why does my font change when i publish my site on mobileme?
    Can anyone help me, i'm using a font that i got from the internet when i look at it in safari its fine but if i log in from another pc/mac the font is changed!!
    Please help.
    e-mail - [email protected]

    If that's the only place you used that unique font, yes.  Convert the textbox to an image file by applying a drop shadow to the font and setting the opacity of the drop shadow to 5%.

  • Why does an email sent from an iPad or iPhone to ms outlook appear with attachments? Example signatures tend to be broken down into a series of unwanted attachments!

    Why does an email sent from an iPad or iPhone to ms outlook appear with attachments? Example: signatures at the bottom of the mail tend to be broken down into a series of unwanted attachments!

    It worked for me. I took a picture with the iPhone's camera. Then opened the Photos app and selected the picture, and emailed it from one of my IMAP accounts to my gmail (also IMAP) account. When it showed up in the gmail inbox (on my iPhone), I forwarded it to my yahoo mail account (choosing the "inlcude attachments" option). When that showed up on my iPhone's yahoo inbox, the picture was there just as it should be.
    So I guess the next thing would be to try it with non-iPhone pictures to see if it is a problem with image size or something. I have some 6-megapixel images in iPhoto I can try (taken as RAW/DEC format pictures with my dSLR).
    Just tried it sending a Photo from my computer's iPhoto library - picture is 728KB, 2272x1704 jpeg. I emailed it to my gmail account, and it showed up on the iPhone just fine. Then I forwarded that to my yahoo account and again, it showed up just fine on both the iPhone and reading my yahoo mail via the web page.
    Don't know what to say - I don't mean this to be just another "works for me" post. I was hoping to see something maybe depending on the size and origin of the picture.
    By the way, my 3GS shipped with 3.0.1 on it, and I've updated it via iTunes normally to 3.1.1 and currently 3.1.2. Sorry I don't have anything constructive to add.

  • Why does Apple Works change my Excel document to Apple Documents?

    Why does Apple Works change my Excel documents to Apple Documents?

    It's a nuisance when other users cannot open the file, any ideas?

  • Why does OS X change the permissions without my intervention?

    I work on various documents at home, where I have a Mac. and at work where I have a Windows box.  In order to do this, I use Google Drive as my cloud storage to save the documents.
    Now when I edit a Word doc in MS Word at Work, then save it to the Google Drive, I am able to open it on my Mac in MS Word for Mac, just fine.
    However, when I edit the Word doc on my Mac, and save it to Google Drive, the sytem automatically sets the "everyone" permission to "no access". This is incredbily annoying. I have to go and reset the permission everytime to "Read and Write" in order to edit it the next day at work on my Windows bos.
    Why does OS X change the permission of the document when I don't want it to! I want the file to ALWAYS be read and write FOR everyone PERIOD. Yet it seems to have a mind of its own and changes it.
    How can this be fixed... this doesn't even make sense!

    korkyk --
    Could it be that it is a function of Google Drive?  I share Word docs with Mac & PC Users all the time with no permissions errors or any other problems.  My husband and I share docs all the time between PC and Mac. Again no problem.  But we do not put Google Drive in the middle. 

  • Why does Itunes automatically change the genre of my songs?

    Why does Itunes automatically change the genre of my songs? I have assigned specifit genres but they're constantly changed without me doing it. ITs annoying. Does anyone know how i can stop this?

    welcome to the discussions
    you may find that WMP is doing this for you.
    There is a setting is WMP that means that it checks the info held in the file (and shown by itunes) against that held at Gracenote and 'updates' the info where there is any disagreement. On my copy its under the 'media library' tab.
    Turn this off if its on.

  • Why does the name change to my dad's name when I use his credit card for downloads?

    I have an iPod touch. I have my own apple ID and icloud account. Why does the name change to my dad's name when I use his credit card for downloads? Is there a way I can have my own account and use my dad's card without having his name on my photostream and icloud?
    I went on icloud.com and changed my name but it changes the credit card name to mine as well so I can't get apps unless its under his name, but it confuses everyone i share photo streams with, as there are two of my dads?
    My aunt is having the same problem with her photostream, so I know its not only me.

    I have this problem and it's annoying.  Plenty of people in this world do not pay for their own stuff!.  So i have 5 kids.  All there accounts show as my name when people add them for Photo streams etc etc.  This is ridiculous.  Why not seperate billing address / credit card details to the name of the person on the account?  Why do they have to be the same?

  • Why does sync remove songs from iPod?

    why does sync remove songs from iPod? My itune library lost songs with an ! symbol.

    It means iTunes can no longer locate those particular files at the specified location on your PC's hard drive.  So you'll need to search for these track's on your PC and re-import these tracks from their new location.
