Why is a blocked number still able to text me?

I blocked a particular phone number from contacting me yet they were able to send a text message yesterday. What's the deal?

Do you more than one mobile number for that person in your contacts? Could they be messaging you from a second one that you didn't block?
Have you talked to Verizon since this problem started?

Blocked number still getting through

How is a blocked number still sending me text messages?

I don't know. This is my first iPhone. Had number blocked through Verizon customer service Sunday but still receiving texts today. Showed blocked online but apparently also needed to block number directly on my iPhone. Should work now hopefully.

I changed my phone number and people are still able to text me from my old number and i can no longer send picture messages, what should i do?

Thank you BobHarris for your input.
It seems like there were a few seconds difference between your post and my second post.
"... and I asked my carrier (FIDO) and they said that they do not have any thing at their end that can be done to blcok any number from calling or texting.
Help please!"

Blocked number coming through as text but...

I have blocked a number and the block is due to be renewed in March 2014. This morning, a text from the blocked number came through as a download. When I went to retrieve the download, I got a message from my phone stating that the download was expired and the text disappeared from my text log. I have a Galaxy S3. Please advise.

Tomcat5251,
We apologize if there was a message received on your end from a number you had blocked, this is definitely odd. I know it's important to have the block service working at all times and we definitely want to get to the bottom of this. We need additional information to determine the cause of this. Please accept my follow request and follow me back,then send me a Direct Message to further assist you.

Blocked contacts still able to contact me!!

I keep being contacted by people who appear as contacts in my contacts list even though I have never accepted them as a contact.
I block them and they appear in my blocked contacts list, then a few days later they appear back in my list of contacts.
All of my privacy settings are set so I am only visible to my contacts and I am not visible on the web.
How can I stop this happening? I thought if I blocked a contact that was it and they would not be able to contact me again.

I blocked contact should never be able to send you messages or call you again. Can you double check if it is the same username? It may be possible that they are using another account with the same display name.
moreover, you can report that user to [email protected]

Disabled Account Still Able to Login (Server 4.0)

Hi there,
Just migrated OD from Snow Leopard Server using slapconfig -backupdb and -restoredb.
Everything is working so far, however, I couldn't figured out why a network account is still able to login when the account is clearly marked as disabled. (Allow to login is unchecked)
Anyone experienced this?
TIA!

Okay, I've finally resolved the issue, thanks to the Apple Enterprise tech support team. I'm thinking they wouldn't mind if I share this information, but I can't guarantee that this will work on your system or, worse yet, degrade your system further. However, that's fairly unlikely, just make sure you have plenty of backups before you begin any troubleshooting session.
So I was told to perform the following instructions, which I did, line for line. The part about closing Server.app seems a given, but I'm not sure why they want you to open Server.app at the the end (maybe taken out of context from some other instructions?). I did it anyway, but you should be able to begin testing, on a client workstation, right after rekerberizing is complete. I did, however, need to reboot my client, login as local admin, and then binding would proceed, and network users are able to login again. The engineer also let me know to expect an error, something like the following: "2015-03-11 21:58:38 +0000 Error synchronizing removal of attribute draft-krbPrincipalACL from record 72519e4c-7ac7-15e4-bd42-10adb1944cbc: 77013 result: 16 No such attribute" - this is apparently normal, and did in fact happen in my experience.
So here's the fix:
- Quit Server.app (don’t just close the window)
- On the Open Directory Server, execute these Terminal commands:
- sudo mkdir /var/db/openldap/migration/
- sudo touch /var/db/openldap/migration/.rekerberize
- sudo slapconfig -firstboot
- Open Server.app
And that's it. I did nothing else on my OD server, just logged out. Immediately tried binding on my MacBook client, it failed, I rebooted, tried again, it worked quickly, and I'm able to login with network user accounts again.

Error Invalid Number message when sending text

Ever since I upgraded to an iPhone 5s I get an Error Invalid Number message when sending a text to a phone number that used to work just fine from my 4s. In fact I can receive a text from this number but when I try to reply to that text I get the error message again.
I deleted the contact info in case there was something broken there and I'm trying it with just the raw phone number but without any luck. What can I do? It's my boss's number so it's important I fix this problem. All other contacts and texts are working just fine, it's just this one phone, a Samsung galaxy on T-mobile if that helps.

I am having the same exact issue with my Nokia Lumia 920 Windows phone. I was texting my son this morning when one text immediately returned a "+1 (112) 161-1611 Error Invalid Number. Please re-send u sing a vlid 10 digit mobile number" message. His contact info looked fine, but I edited it, re-saved it and tried texting again. Same result - except the number reported in the error message showed 2 "1s" in front of his mobile number. I was able to text my wife a couple of times to report this to her and then it happened with her number in exactly the same manner. I am still able to text people I work with - so this leads me to believe it has something to do with phone numbers that have been saved outside of my corporate contact list. I will be monitoring this posting to see if there is a fix.

I am unable to access my iCloud e mail account and am still able to access AOL account though. It says something about an IMAP pathway and a port number how do I find this?

I am unable to access my iCloud e mail account and am still able to access AOL account though. It says something about an IMAP pathway and a port number how do I find this?

If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Why, with the same number of photos in both places, do I still have 25 GB of storage on my iPad and have to BUY more space in iCloud?

Why, with the same number of photos on my iPad and supposedly in iCloud, do I still have over 25 GB of space on my iPad but now need to buy even more storage space in iCloud? My iPad is 64 GB and I am now paying for 20 GB of iCloud storage with 864 MB left!

As I said:
Even if the Photos are less than 20GB, There's other stuff on the iPhone that is likely getting backed up to iCloud and using space. Basically your Phone has more space to spare than iCloud.
You can check in Settings->iCloud->Storage->Manage Storage to see what is using up the space in iCloud.
Anyway, turning off Photo stream will remove all photos from iCloud, it will not remove them from the iPad if they were taken with it, or copied to it.
Again I suggest you check in:Settings->iCloud->Storage->Manage Storage to see what else is using your iCloud space.

I have deleted all emails from my ICloud email account but my manage storage still shows that the mail is using 9.7GB. Why isn't the number decreasing if all emails have been deleted?

It might be caused by storage "buffering". If so, the space will adjust automatically when another iCloud feature uses the space previously allocated to your deleted email. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4873.

Blocked number getting through

I block a certain phone number within the 90 day expiration window and still get text messages and calls from this number, anyone else experience this? How do I make it stop permanently?

Oh wow! I'm curious as well why this is happening. What type of phone do you have? If you have an iPhone, they'll still be able to send iMessages. You can set iMessages to only receive them from your contacts, then you'll have to delete that number from your phone Settings > Notifications > Messages > Scroll down to show iMessage alerts from, “My contacts only.”
If you have a different phone, do you use any 3rd party apps for calls & SMS? Is the number still showing blocked on My Verizon?

Can you choose to block phone calls but not texts from a number?

So I have searched all over the place and have not found an answer. I am sure someone has blocked me from calling them because when I try to call them I recieve this message: "Welcome to Verizon Wireless. The number you were trying to reach has calling restrictions which has prevented the completion of your call."However I am wondering if they can still receieve my texts. I have sent two and they both show that they have been delivered on my phone and they both also show up on my online bill as having been sent from me and recieved to the number that I am pretty sure has blocked me. Does Verizon allow someone to block just phone calls but not text messages? Or if you block a number from calling does that mean texting from that same number is automatically blocked as well (or is it two seperate processes)? I understand it may look like it has been sent on my end, but I am wondering, since I never got a "message failed" indicator or anything else telling me they never got it, if they were able to receive and read the 2 messages? We both are Verizon customers by the way. Thanks!!!

That person did block you, and no they cannot receive or read your texts.

Why can't I see still images in the playback monitor when editing a video?

Why can't I see still images in the playback monitor when editing a video? I have rendered the images in the project. I checked my system to make sure it meets all the requirements for the software, no problem there. When I "share" the project and save it as an MPEG, the images show up in WMP just fine. But I need to be able to see what I'm doing to the stills while I am editing. Help!

Many thanks for the reply with the details.
But, the key is missing...what version of Premiere Elements are you using? Are you using Premiere Elements 10?
I hope not in this case, but if you are, we will tell you what needs to be done. The following is a copy/paste of the Announcement
at the top of this forum about the Premiere Elements 10/NVIDIA GeForce issue.
Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card and you are experiencing
Premiere Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your first line of troubleshooting needs to be rolling
back the video card driver version instead of assuring that it is up to date.
Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and unexplained workflow
glitches specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer has a NVIDIA GeForce video card. If this applies
to you, then the “user to user” remedy is to roll back the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary to get rid of
the problems. The typical driver roll back has gone back as far as March – July 2013 in order to get a working Premiere
Elements 10. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has taken any corrective action in this regard to date, and none is expected moving forward.
Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1317675
Older NVIDIA GeForce drivers can be found
