Re: [MacGroup] iOS 9.0.2 texting issue

[Alex Whitman]

AHA!!! Right after I sent my screenshot to Ed I saw Penny's note, and while
I don't understand why any of my open apps would have had anything to do
with voice or video messages, closing them all did fix the issue. Thank
you, Penny and Ed!

Re: [MacGroup] iOS 9.0.2 texting issue

[youngman . penny]

I've had the same issue. I think it is trying to send a video. I correct it by 
closing out all the open apps. I thought I had inadvertently triggered it when 
removing my phone from my pocket. Whatever makes my phone think I want to send 
a video, this is a solution for me.

Alex if you could make a screen shot of the problem.  
Screen shot is accomplished by holding down the home and lock buttons at the 
same time.  Sent it to me and I can see what the issue is.  Sounds like you are 
activating the voice note function in messages.

[MacGroup] iOS 9.0.2 texting issue

[Alex Whitman]

I updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 9. I'm having a problem with Messages. An
opaque dark gray bubble appears in the text input area obscuring the words
I'm trying to send. On the right side of the gray bubble are the characters
"0:00". Clicking the little microphone icon, the camera icon, or 123 has no
effect. Texts still send, but of course I have no idea what auto-correct is
doing to my messages until they are already sent.

9.0.2 seems to have a lot of issues with Messages (says Google) but I
haven't seen any mention of this problem in particular.

Anyone else experiencing this, or have any idea how to get rid of it? The
only time I can get a clear input area is when I start a completely new
conversation with a new recipient.

As always, any help appreciated.

I think a two factor system should be used so that something like this doesn't 
happen. Yes the lizard is at fault but they are keeping this on the qt. father 
in law is not a online person so he never buys online. This is just auto

Thanks Ed, good to know that about every firm out there is wide open to a good 
hacker.  Makes me want to use ApplePay for all my transactions.  Right now I am 
stopping the traveling from one site to another to pay my bills and I am going

Re: [MacGroup] ApplePay Using Apple Watch

[Ed Wiser]

My father in law just had to deal with a security breach at Geico insurance. He 
had several direct payments from his account to "So called Customers " To the 
tune of several thousand dollars. Geico and Chase took care of it for him and 
transfer all his direct deposits to a new checking account. Closing that 
account down.

Re: [MacGroup] ApplePay Using Apple Watch

[John Robinson]

Thanks Richard, but I am anything but fantastic….ask my wife!

As I don’t bank at Stock Yards I don’t think I would have any persuasive 
advantage, but you do,  and believe me Chase is THE best bank I have ever 
worked with…I can literally do 90% of my banking from my iPhone.  They offer 
about every modern day perk that a bank can offer, I wish I had gone to them 
years earlier and they are so Apple supportive.  It’s a hassle, but they took 
care of the Social Security direct deposit change, right from their computer 
and I did the paperwork for the company direct deposit.  I had to order new 
check and there will be a few firms I need to notify such as PayPal etc…it’s 
worth the effort.

 Cool, and I have already written to CVS, telling them I will be forced to 
 move to Walgreens….but they know that’s an idle threat as my company makes 
 us use Caremark mail for our refills, however CVS bought Caremark so I can 
 use the local store…unless I can get my company to go along with utilizing 
 other stores I won’t have much of a chance but I intend to give it all I 
 can.
 
 Thanks so much, ApplePay is so easy, so safe and it’s a no-brainer so we 
 have to push hard on the merchants.

 Tom,
 
 I promised to get back to you after trying the Apple Watch using Apple 
 Pay.
 
 FANTASTIC, haven’t had a single problem.
 
 Several times at Walgreens.
 
 McDonalds
 
 Meijers
 
 Attempted at StarBucks, they don’t have the equipment as of yet so I 
 wrote to the company.  They ask me to call so this morning I talked to 
 a rep and told him what I wanted to use to pay for their coffee.  At 
 this time they only use ApplePay to replenish your StarBucks card but 
 I told him we had other coffee shops in our area and I will patronize 
 the firm that allows me to use ApplePay.
 
 The next time I am near a Whole Foods I will go in to test there, and 
 Target now accepts ApplePay so I will try there as well….assuming our 
 stores have the updated equipment.  
 
 Once I finish this note to you I am writing Kroger to see what their 
 position is on ApplePay and let them know I will shop at Meijer should 
 they decide it’s not for them.
