| I don’t know about too many Apples Alan, but I have a similar (?) gripe about SMS reception from the WA Fire Brigades message service. I switched from Samsung to iPhone and lost my contact with the pager/messaging service. I have people at DFES investigating but so far no luck. We trying the old “switch it off and on” trick just now. i.e. delete my details from the database and then re-install them. Thank goodness the bush fires seasons seems to be drawing to a close.

Three recent examples illustrate the problems - or perhaps the ignorance - I have.
1. My sister sent me a simple text message from her mobile phone. I did not receive it on my mobile phone. Many hours later (too late!) I found the text message had been received by my iPad in Messages! This unwanted behaviour was probably caused by both of us having iPhones, iPads and iMacs.
2. A recent series of text messages initiated from my iPhone to another relative (also with an iPhone) became a Conversation with messages from each direction nicely grouped together. Now subsequent communications with that person are appended to the old “conversation”.
3. The above original “conversation” was serious business, not idle social chat. I tried to send the complete conversation to my iMac for printing and archiving. This is not possible apparently without third party software on the iMac and the iPhone plugged into iTunes. I tried to send the conversation to the iMac via email. A small segment of the conversation was copied (plus some text from a completely different message) and sent to my email address - on the iPad!
Has the world got too many apples?
