Why is iMessage splitting group conversations into multiple threads after upgrading to iOS 8?

After upgrading to iOS 8 my group messages keep getting split up into different threads. Everybody in the threads have iPhones and before upgrading they were all working and sending/receiving iMessages just fine.
Now I'll have 2-3 threads with the same contacts (using their same phone numbers, not another contact point like iCloud email, Apple ID, etc.). My phone sometimes recognizes that the group is the same because it will automatically name the group the same thing, but other times it just puts the names of the people in the "To" line. In addition, some of the threads won't let me send iMessage so I have to reply in one thread and receive messages in the other (I send iMessages in thread A but the replies from the same people come back in thread B, but if I try and reply in thread B I can only send text messages even though all contact info is the same).
Update after OS X Yosemite: After upgrading to Yosemite, my Messages app on my MacBook Pro is now splitting the threads as well. It used to be that the computer understood the contacts were the same so all messages should be under one thread and just my phone was having this issue, but the upgrade changed that.
I have tried signing in and out of iMessage, upgrading to the latest iOS, turning on and off my phone, starting new groups, only replying to certain groups, etc. but nothing has worked.
Thanks!

Im having the same problem. This started with iOS 8 and Yosemite. Im in a group message with 10 people with and without iPhones. Currently have 9 threads and when ever a new person responds a new thread forms. they all have the same people but in a different order, that may be part of the reason why iMessage doesn't recognize them as the same conversation.
As I'm writing this post 3 new threads opened and other people with and without iPhones are mentioning the same problem
hope apple can fix this. VERY annoying

Why can I transfer my movies to my ipad after upgrading to iOS 7.

Hi have an ipad 2 which has always worked great, until I upgraded to iOS 7 and now I can't transfer my movies to the ipad from iTunes.
I have restored my ipad to factory settings and have tried copying movies and still no joy. To make the matter even more annoying I have tried to contact apple support and I need to pay a £25 charge as I am out of warranty for a problem that apple have caused.
Any ideas how to rectify this?
Thanks

That's a very helpful description of the problem and now. I wish I could be as helpful in return. Unfortunately, I know next to nothing about syncing home movies or personal videos. I have synced several of my own, but it always went without issue.
Some basic things that I can think of are ....
Where are the movies residing in iTunes on your computer? If they have been imported into the movies library then they should appear in the Videos app when you sync. If they were imported into the photos folder, they could be in the photos app, but I assume that you checked that already.
You did say this was a new problem so can I assume that the movies were appearing in the videos app?
I have read where some users reclassified videos in order to get them to sync. After using the Get Info command in iTunes, they would classify a video as a TV show for example in order to get to sync. Forgive my ignorance on this, but like I said, I have very limited experience with this and I am trying to recall exactly what the process was.
If nothing else, my comments will bump your post up again and hopefully somebody that knows what they are talking about will chime in.

I find the iphone 5s photographs and videos very difficult to copy into my PC after upgrade to ios 7.1.2. Previously I was able to open it in my computer (Windows 8.1 loaded on macbook air 13" July 2013) model, within iphone ikon - DCIM. Why not now

After upgrade of my iphone 5s to ios 7.1.2, I am not able to open iphone ikon- Internal Storage-DCIM - in My computer
The folder is shown as empty
I use Window 8.1 loaded on my Macbook air 13" July 2013 model
Should I stop using iphone for photography and use my Canon DSLR
Taking photo is easy with iphone 5s. But retreiving the photo/video
is time consuming and I feel is a waste of time
Any way out?

Is your phone unlocked when your importing the pictures.
This sound more like a window 8 issue.

Cannot tap into VPN option after upgrading to iOS 4.2

The VPN still working fine, turning on, turning off, but just cannot tap into the VPN to see the options, is this a bug of iOS 4.2?

You are absolutely correct. A simply update to the latest version of iOS will not restore the device to factory settings. If you did the update yourself, at the end of the installation you would have been presented with an option to restore from backup or setup as a new device. Of course you would have chosen to restore from backup because you say that all email and apps were exactly as before. The restrictions are carried over exactly as before when you restore from backup, including the restrictions passcode and any settings you had selected.
The only conclusion (if the sequence above is correct) that can be made is that someone intentionally restored the device to factory settings after the upgrade and then setup a new restrictions passcode.
Having said that, these statements in your description are contradicting each other:
- I updated my son's iPod Touch 3G from version 4.1 to version 4.2 via my computer (not his).
- When upgrading his iPod Touch, I did not sync it to my computer
How exactly the upgrade happened could tell you if you made a simple mistake or if he or someone else intentionally restored the device.

Does your Wifi drop when your iPad mini went into sleep mode after upgrading to iOS 7?

Dear iPad mini users, to those who have upgraded to iOS 7 like I did, do you experienced WiFi drop when your iPad is in sleeping mode? I noticed this problem only few days after upgrading my iOS. Initially I don't think there is such issue. After your iPad mini recover fom sleep mode, then it will automatically connect to WiFi again. My point is it no longer connected to WiFi in sleeping mode and so could not keep me up-to-date with my mail if I am on WiFi.
Do share your view and if there is a solution, do share with me please. I have tried almost all solutions available online but no no avail. At the moment, I am activating my 3G network so that when mail came in, my iPad will notify me even during its sleeping mode but this is getting expensive considering I am using the 3G 24 hours every day now.

I found an solution. Go to Settings/Mail, Contact, Calendar/Fetch new data and than enable Push and choose to fetch hourly or every 30 minutes. In this case your iPad will stay connected to wifi even when smart cover is closed. If you select Manualy than wifi connection will be terminated when in sleep mode.

Split single row into multiple rows containing time periods

Hi,
I have a table with rows like this:
id, intime, outtime
1, 2010-01-01 00:10, 2010-01-3 20:00
I would like to split this row into multiple rows, 1 for each 24hr period in the record.
i.e. The above should translate into:
id, starttime, endtime, period
1, 2010-01-01 00:10, 2010-01-02 00:10, 1
1, 2010-01-02 00:10, 2010-01-03 00:10, 2
1, 2010-01-03 00:10, 2010-01-03 20:00, 3
The first starttime should be the intime and the last endtime should be the outtime.
Is there a way to do this without hard-coding the 24hr periods?
Thanks,
Dan Scott

Thanks for all the feedback, Dan.
It appears that the respective solutions provided will give you: a) different resultsets and b) different performance.
Regarding your 'truly desired resultset' you haven't answered all questions from my previous post (there are differences in the provided examples), but anyway:
I found that using CEIL or ROUND makes quite a difference, using my 'simple 3 record testset' (30 records vs. 66 records got initially returned, that's less than half of the original). That's quite a difference. However, I must call it a day (since it's almost midnight) for now, so there's room for more optimizement and I haven't thoroughly tested.
But this might hopefully make a difference performancewise when compared to my previous 'dreaded example':
SQL> drop table t;
Table dropped.
SQL> create table t as
2 select 1 id, to_date('2010-01-01 00:10', 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi') intime, to_date('2010-01-03 20:00', 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi') outtime from dual union all
3 select 2 id, to_date('2010-02-01 00:10', 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi') intime, to_date('2010-02-05 20:00', 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi') outtime from dual union all
4 select 3 id, to_date('2010-03-01 00:10', 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi') intime, to_date('2010-03-03 00:10', 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi') outtime from dual;

Split the IDOC into multiple IDOC if the IDOC has more than 500 records

Hi All,
I developed an outbound IDOC in which we are facing an issue.
There is some limitation on the maximum idoc size it can handle.
If number of records is more than 500, split the idoc into multiple iDoc's, e.g. if it would have 1300 records , the result would be 2 iDoc's with 500 records, and the last one would have 300 records
How can i acheive this.
Regards
Jai

Hi,
1) first you need to know which message type/Idoc type you are triggering.
2) Get the Corresponding processcode from Partner profiles(WE20/ WE41).
3) Then the look for prper user-exit in the related processing FM.
4) write logic to split the IDoc accordingly.
if no proper user exit available then copy the standard processing FM and need to all ALE related configurations.
Catch hold any ABAP expert in your team to do all these.

Split Single IDOC into Multiple IDOC's Based on Segment Type

Hi Experts,
I have a scenario IDOC to FILE , Split Single IDOC into Multiple IDOC's based on Segment Type
Outbound:
ZIdocName
Control Record
Data Record
Segment 1
Segment 2
Segment 3
Status Record
I should get output like below
Inbound:
ZIdocName
Control Record
Data Record
Segment 1
Status Record
ZIdocName
Control Record
Data Record
Segment 2
Status Record
ZIdocName
Control Record
Data Record
Segment 3
Status Record
Please suggest me step by step process to achieve this task.
Thanks.

Thanks a lot Harish for reply.
I have small doubt. According to your reply , If we have N number of segments in single IDOC with same fields in all segments then for splitting Single IDOC into Multiple IDOC's based on Segment Type we need to duplicate N number of target IDOC tree structure.
Is that possible to Split single IDOC into Multiple IDOC's based on Segment Type using only one Target IDOC structure without duplicating the Target IDOC structure tree.

Hi ,
As a far I understood from your example ,
I have few questions...
1. You have information about the patient in a 1 source table.
2. how u are identifying for patient X u need 5 rows to be created. R u storing these informations in seprate table or how ...
3. if you have these information in a seperate tables ..... a simple cross join in ODI should get you the expected result.....
Or give some more information with a example ..that would be great ...

Split one row into multiple columns

Hi,
Data in one CLOB column in a table storing with delimiter, ##~~##. Ex. ##~~##abc##~~##defgh##~~##ijklm##~~##nopqr (data starts with delimiter). Please help me to split the data into multiple rows like below and it should be in the same order.
abc
defgh
ijklm
nopqr
I am using Oracle 11g.
Thanks.

Thanks Hoek for your response. Before posting my question in the forum, I tried similar query. It is working with one character as delimiter.
with test as (select 'ABC,DEF,GHI,JKL,MNO' str from dual )
select regexp_substr (str, '[^,]+', 1, rownum) split
from test
connect by level <= length (regexp_replace (str, '[^,]+')) + 1;
Above query is giving correct result by fetching 5 rows. I have modified the query like below...
with test as (select 'ABC,,,DEF,,,GHI,,,JKL,,,MNO' str from dual )
select regexp_substr (str, '[^,,,]+', 1, rownum) split
from test
connect by level <= length (regexp_replace (str, '[^,,,]+')) + 1;
Above query resulting 13 rows and last 8 rows are nulls. Number of null rows are increasing, if I increase number of characters in delimiter. Could you please tell me how to avoid those null rows.
Thanks.

Breaking a Program Execution into Multiple Threads

Hi,
We want to run a BAPI with Differenet parameters synchronoulsy in the same program as the BAPI is taking a very lon time for execution.
We are Planning to break up the execution and the call o the BAPI into multiple threads that can run synchronously. How can this concept implemented in SAP ABAP.
Thanks in advance.
Arunava

I am using parallel processing in my current client. Basis define a dialog processes group that we can use. This way our program will be limited to the number of processing give in the group. For example, our production system has 5 servers and each servers has 15 dialog processes. Basis reserve in the group 5 dialog processes for each group. So when we run our program, we are limited to 25 processes. We use function module SPT_INITIALIZE to find out the number of dialog processes and free processes for our group.
The logic of the program as follow:
Do loop
Call function module with starting new task and destination in group performing end of task subroutine
Enddo
Wait until all task completed (check help on wait-you need to keep track of the number of record completed)
In end of task subroutine, use command receive results from function to get the return parameters.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Why has my ipad lost connectivity to the AT&T cellular data network after upgrading to iOS 8.1.2? My iPad is model #MD367LL/A, 32 GB WIFI + Cellular, about 2-1/2 years old.

Why has my ipad lost connectivity to the AT&T cellular data network after upgrading to iOS 8.1.2? My iPad is model #MD367LL/A, 32 GB WIFI + Cellular, about 2-1/2 years old. It;s been working perfectly up until now. I have no problem on my home WIFI, or through personal hotspot working through my iPhone 5.
I have worked with AT&T, replaced the SIM card with a new one, and done a backup/restore to factory settings, all with the same result that when I turn Cellular
Data on, with or without Enable LTE, it goes into "searching" mode, or reports "no service". My iPhone 5 works perfectly on iOS 8.1.2, on Cellular. I've browsed the blogs and have tried Apple's suggested fix, all to no result.
Oddly enough, every once in a while I do get connected to the network for a short ime (minutes), but it always returns to "searching".
I've filed a report with Apple, along with a request that they contact me, but no results yet.
Help? (and thank you).

Hello razmee209. Thank you for your response. I spent the better part of yesterday working with Apple Support. They tried their best, to include backing up photos to my HP laptop, backing up the iPad to iCloud, then resetting the iPad in total. Same problem. I restored from the cloud to recover my apps, same problem.
AT&T installed a new sim card - same problem. I spent time with AT&T Support yesterday, too. In both cases, (Apple and AT&T) the support techs who worked with me were extremely polite, courteous and helpful to the best of their abilities, but I think the problem lies deeper, and nobody at Apple is admitting they have a problem with iOS 8, that I'm aware of.
I didn't have this issue before I upgraded to iOS 8.1.2.
Everything else with the iPad works fine: WIFI, Personal Hotspot, email, all my apps, etc.
In browsing the web for this issue I see that many other folks have the same problem. I filed a report with Apple this morning, requesting that they contact me, but no word yet. I was going to go to iPhone 6, and had been considering the iPad Air 2, but I see reports of this problem with those units as well.
At this point I don't think I'll be spending any more money with Apple, at least not till this issue is resolved.
Thanks again for your response and suggestions.
