Will there be a future way to set up your imessage/SMS to provide an auto reply when you are unavailable like driving in your car?

As we all get more and more used to sending texts instead of picking up the phone and calling someone, I find that people try and reach me when I am driving and I have no good way to tell them I'm in the car or unavailable and not just ignoring them.    It seems that most other phone providers have thought of this and allow a number of unavailable messages to be created.   Apple did this for phone calls coming in but why not iMessage/SMS?
WIth the big push on not texting and driving you would think that there is a solution by now...can some please let me know that this is in the list of enhancements at least or has someone found an app to do this today?

  • When you are pulling music from a hard drive and it says music can not be found, is there a way to stop it from doing that every time I play music from my computer? It used to find all music now it only finds 1 song at a time

    When pulling music from a harddrive and it say music can not be found, is there a way to stop this from happening every time I play music on my computer? It used to find all music when serching for song but now it only finds 1 at a time. I have over 2000 songs so I can't go through this every time.

    1) However I do not want to move my itunes Music onto the flash drive, only my Movies, and want to keep my music on my hard drive.
    Is this possible?
    Yes
    2) Do the MacBook Air's not have a separate program other than itunes that can play movies? If so, is there a program I can get to solve this problem? I went onto the App Store to see if there was something I could download, but all the apps were for creating DVD's, not simply playing them.
    If you can play the movies in iTunes, you should be able to open the movie files using Quicktime, which should already be on your system.  If you have already transferred the files to your flash drive, open the flash drive in Finder, and hold control when you click on the movie file (or right click if you have the enabled) and select Open With Quicktime Player.  This should play the movie directly from the flash drive. 
    If you want to set all .m4v files to open with Quicktime by just double clicking on the file, you can follow the steps here: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2573/os_x_how_to_change_default_application_to_op en_file_type/
    3) If 1. & 2. questions are solvable, will it then be safe to delete the movies from my itunes?
    You can move the TV shows to your flash drive by dragging them from the iTunes window to your flash drive in Finder or the flash drive icon on the desktop.  When you are sure everything is transferred over to your external device, you can delete the movie from iTunes.  I recommend playing the videos from the flash drive first before deleting them in iTunes. 
    To delete the videos from iTunes, you can highlight them and press the delete key on your keyboard.  In the next prompt, you would want to move it to the trash so that it is deleted from your internal hard drive.  
    I hope that helps!

  • On the iPhone, if you move an e-mail from the In box to Junk, will iPhone automatically place future e-mails from the same sender into Junk? In other words, can you teach iPhone to recognize Junk as you do on a Mac?

    On the iPhone, if you move an e-mail from the In box to Junk, will iPhone automatically place future e-mails from the same sender into Junk? In other words, can you teach iPhone to filter out Junk as you do on a Mac?

    I don't think so, you would need to set that on your browser when you log into your email account.

  • Is there a way to back up a step or undo a step in Camera Raw, like you can do when you are in PS with history?

    While in camera raw, editing a photo, is there a way to back up a step or undo a step like you can do when you are in PS with history?

    johnh316, There is no so called Backup step. However, you can undo the changes using Ctrl+Z.
    Else, suggestions given by JJMack are worth following.
    Since you are using Camera Raw, you can anytime revert back to the default state by going choosing "Camera Raw Defaults" from the Options Menu.

  • Is there a location aware wifi option (or app) that enables wifi at a specific location (home) and automatically disables it when you are away from the specified location?

    I manually turn off my wifi when leaving home for several reasons:
    1. I don't want my wifi to be on and constantly scanning wifi networks while I am away from home due to privacy reasons.  Many retail stores and airports are now tracking users based on their smartphone's wifi pings.  They can then store your phone's MAC address (the unique identifier of your phone) to determine how often you visit the store and where you go within the store.  It's just a matter of time before they match up your phone's MAC address with your credit card/payment info and then to your identity.  The only way to subvert this is to turn off your phone's wifi.
    2. For security reasons: Wifi access points can track devices that broadcast their wifi signal, even if they don't ever actually connect to the access point's network.  These access points can then store your device's details including your phone's MAC address.  Once your phone's MAC address is discovered, it can be targeted by a hacker.  In addition, there are multiple well known hacker tools that can be used to scan for smartphone wifi signals in order to detect and then hack your iphone.  Bottom line: if your wifi is discoverable, then your device is hackable.
    3. I believe it would save battery life if the iphone's wifi is not on and constantly scanning for networks all the time.
    There are other reasons as well, but the above are my 3 main reasons for asking about this.
    The reminders app is location aware - you can set reminders to alert you when you are at a specific location.  So, why not provide the option (or an app) to only enable wifi when you are at home - or any other location where you have an authorized or trusted wifi?
    As it is right now, the iphone's wifi is broadcasting 24/7 everywhere you go.  Not great for privacy & security.  When I turn off my wifi, the phone uses my 4G plan for data and GPS for location services... so wifi is not needed at all for data or location services while I am away from home (and no, wifi does not improve location accuracy, that is a fallacy... there is nothing within the wifi protocol that could ever improve location accuracy).  But the point is, wifi should have a location aware option.  Otherwise, it's just a matter of time before there is a headline story about how not having this feature is a huge security/privacy problem.

    Understood.  However, the point that I'm trying to make is that it's not the WiFi access point's security that's in question, it's having your phone's WiFi in an always-on mode that's in question.  It's simple: if your phone's WiFi is on, then it is both discoverable and hackable... even when it's not connected to a WiFi network or access point.  Here's an article about a drone in London that was created to hack smartphone WiFi signals (and hackers have been doing what this drone does for years):
    http://money.cnn.com/2014/03/20/technology/security/drone-phone/
    The point is that it's not  secure to have your phone's WiFi in an always-on mode.  It would be better for privacy and security if Apple made WiFi location aware so that it is only enabled when you are at a trusted location (e.g. your home or office).  Or, at least give us the option of location aware WiFi so that each user can determine the best mode for their phone:
    (1) Always-On (current default - not secure and many privacy issues).
    (2) Trusted mode (only on at trusted locations).
    (3) Off.

    only way is to restore the phone as new.  OR wait until IOS 7 comes out in the fall.

  • Why is it on the photo app is that when you add your photos to new albums and when you are deleting from camera roll it will delete photos from everywhere so therefore once your photos are in the albums you have chosen you cannot delete f

    Why is it on the photo app is that when you add your photos to new albums and when you are deleting from camera roll it will delete photos from everywhere so therefore once your photos are in the albums you have chosen you cannot delete from camera roll

    Your photos are actually all in the Camera Roll.  The album you create only contain pointers to these pictures.  Albums are like music playlists; when you delete a song from the playlist it doesn't delete the song from your music library.  But when you delete a song from your music library it will also be deleted from any playlists that it may have been in as well.

  • Is there any easy & simple way to set specify font to all text

    Is there any way to set a specific font to all text of Swing controls (JLabel, JButton, etc)? And their font's style (bold, underscore...) and font's size still remain to their customized settings.
    Thanks in advance.
    null

    perhaps you're just after deriveFont()
    run this, you'll see both fonts the same
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.awt.*;
    class Testing
      public void buildGUI()
        JLabel label_1 = new JLabel("Hello");
        JLabel label_2 = new JLabel("World");
        label_1.setFont(new Font("monospaced",Font.BOLD|Font.ITALIC,12));
        label_2.setFont(label_1.getFont());
        //label_1.setFont(label_1.getFont().deriveFont(36f));//<----------
        JFrame f = new JFrame();
        f.getContentPane().add(label_1,BorderLayout.NORTH);
        f.getContentPane().add(label_2,BorderLayout.SOUTH);
        f.pack();
        f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        f.setVisible(true);
      public static void main(String[] args)
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
          public void run(){
            new Testing().buildGUI();
    }now uncomment the indicated line, recompile/rerun
    you'll see the style remains, but the size increased

  • Had desktop Mac Pro set up with recent operating system there is a message that say setting up your Mac on the screen do I have to wait for the this process to complete or is there a way out of this screen?

    I took all of my devices in to the apple store in ridge hill in Yonkers, the rep helped me set up the new operating system on all my
    Devices from my phone to my desk top tower at home. I powered up my desk top this morning and a message came up saying that
    The system did not recognize a program that was not compatible with the new operating system and it went right into "Setting up your Mac"
    Mode. Do I have to wait for the setup or is there a way to by pass this process?
                            Dee Brown

    I think maybe wait for a bit. Usually, on startup and installing the new OS, the assumption is that the user might not know too much, and that compatibility must be checked, which may be helpful, or not.  For now, I'd say ignore it, wait until it's done its thing, then update the program that's not compatible. If you can, Mr. Brown, find out which one isn't "making nice" with Mavericks. Hopefully it'll give you a name

  • Will there be an update for DigitalPersona Extension 5.0.0.3790 to provide compatibility for FF4?

    When downloading Firefox 4.0, DigitalPersona Personal 4.11.3805 with DigitalPersona Extension 5.0.0.3790 (from Mozilla Firefox Add-Ons) is incompatible. Fingerprint swipes only open the DPP application's Home Page. I had to uninstall FF 4 and re-install FF 3.6.16 in order to utilize fingerprint logon recognition.
    DigitalPersona will no longer support DigitalPersona Personal as is evidenced by the following email I received from [email protected]:
    "Thank you for contacting DigitalPersona. We are extremely sorry to inform you there will be no update
    releases for DigitalPersona Personal in the future. We are also sorry to inform you there will be no updates for
    Firefox 4 nor Internet Explorer 9. You certainly can try to use either one, if they work for you great!. If they do
    not work, you will have to decide to either keep DPPersonal and forgo Firefox 4 or IE 9, or vice versa.
    DigitalPersona, regretfully, is leaving the consumer market and is focusing on numerous business and legal
    applications. In fact, again sorry to inform you, DigitalPersona Personal will not be supported after Mid-April
    of this year."
    Hardware/Software:
    Computer: HP
    DigitalPersonal Personal: 4.11.3805
    OS: Windows 7 64bit
    Browser: Firefox 4
    Fingerprint Reader Sensor: Validity
    Driver: 2.0.0.1
    Will there be an update to this extension, '''or''' are there other software options to make the Validity Sensors, Inc. fingerprint reader compatible with FF4?

    As Digital Persona have abandoned it, there will be no update to their extension. It may work with the Fingerfox (SE) extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/fingerfox-se

  • Is there any way to stop auto download of operating system such as IOS7 when you are connected to wifi and power?

    Auto download is costly when you happen to connect via wifi using your mobile data network.

    You're wrong.
    It's been posted on here that users not interested in installing this software update are experiencing forced downloads. It's downloading  the file, of which cannot be deleted. Waiting to be executed to install.
    It does this when charging, connected to wifi
    Google io7 forced downloads, several articles.
    OP, the only way I've read that can stop it, is to not have enough space available. It needs about 2.9, so it's advised to keep your iPad full.
    Or turn wifi off when chugging to a wall outlet

  • Can you set ear buds to ring through when you are on a call?

    Can you set ear buds to ring through while you are on a call using Iphone 4?

    planb77, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately it doesn't really answer my question since my mail is not on a POP server. It's imap, so it's synced with my iPod. I just wondered if there was a way, while preserving the syncing, to opt out of syncing when I delete.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks again.

  • How come there is no "Safety Lock" icon when you are accessing your personal bank info?

    How come there is no "safety lock" icon picture in the tool bar when your accessing personal banking info. On other browsers, it shows that the Internet line is secure (the Lock icon) is in the address line. There's nothing on using Firefox.

    Padlock is no longer part of Firefox; it was removed beginning in Firefox 4. The padlock shows that there is a secure connection but does not supply additional information. You could have made a typographical error and still have been connected to a secure connection. The padlock was replaced in Firefox 3 with the Site Identity Button. Familiarize yourself with the Site Identity Button at the left end of the Location Bar:

    You can install this add-on if you wish:

    You are using Firefox 5. The most current version of Firefox is 8. Consider updating as Firefox 5 is not longer updated/maintained and contains security issues that will not be corrected.

  • Why is there no cancel button when you are importing?

    Seriously...
    Why is there no way of canceling when you start importing something from say, your movies folder into iMovie? I just don't understand. How hard is it to add a **** cancel button? Sometimes you import a file and iMovie decides it needs to optimize it before it imports, it can take hours depending on the file, and they don't even give you a cancel button? What the ****. I'm aware you can force quit the app, but how stupid is it, that you need to force quit out of the app just because the developers could not be bothered to add a cancel button in the most obvious place you would want one.
    So yeah, am I missing something here, or is iMovie really that stupid?

    Since this is a user to user forum, it might be best if you address your question directly to Apple.
    You can do that here:
