After downloading iOS 6 on my ipod, iMessages won't send.

Yesterday, I downloaded iOS 6 to my ipod touch. I really like the new software but soon after I downloaded, my iMessages stopped sending. I've tried everything including resetting the wifi settings on my ipod, synching to my computer, turning iMessage on and off, and turning wifi on and off. iMessage is really important for me because I am over seas for nine months and it's how I communicate with my parents and friends. Is there anything else I can try doing?

The same here after IOS update to SIX. But I have my wifi back going first to:
Settings
General
Cellular
Turn all off
Then go to:
Settings
Wifi
Choose one network
Then back to settings
turn on Cellular Data
Turn on Enable 3G
Close settings and see if Wifi is visible in the display

  • After Downloading itunes 8.2.1, iPod Touch won't sync

    I have repeatedly (6+ times) have tried to sync my iPod Touch with the recently updated iTunes 8.2.1 and every time it hangs in sync and gives me the error message:
    applemobiledevicehelper quit unexpectedly
    Then after doing force quit, the sync icon in the menu bar keeps spinning.
    I also have "disable automatically sync" selected, but it is still automatically syncing.
    Is there a way to go to the previous version of iTunes?

    Hey I am having a problem with my iPhone. About 2 days ago I have synced my iPhone 3G in iTunes 8.2.1 and it synced my music, apps, etc. But when it was backing the phone, iTunes froze and then the entire computer froze, after half way of backup. When I restarted the computer, I opened iTunes and still recongnized my phone, but when I tried to backup the phone, by right clicking the iPhones name next to the iPhone symbol, a pop up came saying: applemobiledevicehelper has stopped working and muct close. (And by the way I'm using windiws vista 32bit) I had stopped the applemobiledevicehelper in control panel and started it up again, opeded up iTunes again and still the pop up comes up after right clicking the iPhone symbol. What should I do now???
    And FYI music apps etc can still sync not backup

  • I can't use facetime or imessage after downloading ios 7.

    After downloading IOS 7 on my Ipod Touch 5, I could no longer use Imessage or facetime.  I go to my facetime app and it opens with asking for my apple ID et al and then comes up
    "FaceTime Activation
    Could not sign in.  Please check your
    network connection and try again."
    When I go to my imessage app the SAME thing occurs.
    There is NOTHING wrong with my internet connection.  Safari is going online no problem.  How can I fix this?

    Change your iPod DNS to 8.8.8.8
    That should work. Cheers

  • What do i do after downloading iOS 3.1 software and "There was a problem downloading iOS 3.1.1 software update for ipod touch. an unknown error occurred (8288). Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again." comes up?

    Hello, I hope by now you have resolved the upgrade issue, but if not, here is what I ended up having to do:
    “SUCCESS!!! I took my iPod to a friend who is a computer programmer/genius. He turned off his wireless, hooked the ethernet cable directly into his computer, and the download went through without a hitch. YAY!”
    Here is my original post explaining what I had already tried:
    “Hi all,
    I got an iPod Touch 1st gen for my youngest son for Christmas as a starter. It has the 2.1.2 ios on it, but after I paid for the upgrade to 3.1.1, I keep getting an error message (8288) saying there was a problem with the network connection. I have called customer service, and they suggested I try on a different computer, and if that didn't work, try connecting to a different network, and then trying the update. None of this has worked. It seems that tech support is clueless with this issue.
    I have installed and unistalled iTunes 10.5, 10.3, 10.4, and now I am back with 10.5. I have tried looking up the issue from several search engines but no one seems to have a universal solution and I have tried several.
    I really want to have this thing updated for himw hwne he opens it, but I am starting to worry that my purchase was a bust. I know this is the oldest version, but I don't want to buy a newer, more expensive iPod and him still not be mature enough to really take care of it. As I said, this one is a starter.
    Can anyone help? Please?!
    Thank you!!!
    P.S. We have a PC, with Windows XP Home.”
    Now, there seem to be a lot of different ways to solve the 8288 error, none of which are universal. Best of luck getting yours upgraded!

    P.S. The post by Sparkhi is a link to his blog going into a long story about how he wanted Apple to pay him for “solving” the issue….the one that apparently has been solved by multiple solutions. I’m not trying to bash, it just bothers me that he put up this whole story and finally, at the very end of his blog post, posts his solution.

  • After downloading iOS 8.1.3, lost the use of messaging and face time, shortly after my e-mail. Any suggestions?   Valo

    After downloading iOS 8.1.3, I lost the use of messaging, face time and shortly there after my e-mail. I changed and reset everything I could on my I-Pad... same result. It can't be my router or my provider, for my I-Pod touch works fine. Any suggestions?    Thanks, Val

    Hello there berczy,
    As I understand it, you are not able to use iMessage, FaceTime or any email service on your phone. Saying you've tried everything would generally make me recommend that you restore the phone from a backup but that can take a long time, so without knowing exactly what steps you have taken, I would like for you to review the troubleshooting in the following article for FaceTime and iMessage:
    If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime
    And to troubleshoot the Mail app, use this article:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,

    Hi berczy,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing multiple issues with your iPad after updating. It sounds like you are on the right track, as all three of these tasks require an internet connection. To help isolate the issue further, are you able to open webpages in Safari? If not, we’ll need to troubleshoot the iPad’s network connection:

  • Finishing synch on iphone 4 After downloading iOS 7.0.3 - Is it impossible?

    Hello there, CollinG123.
    You may want to first try restarting/resetting your iPhone following the steps in this Knowledge Base article:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists, the steps for iOS devices, in this article, may also help:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
    Particularly:
    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

  • After downloading ios 8 on my i pad air 16 GB, my i pad keeps on restarting on its own after some time?  any idea how can it be rectified?

    after downloading ios 8 on my i pad air 16 GB, my i pad keeps on restarting on its own after some time?  any idea how can it be rectified?

    Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke.  If it has not been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.

  • After downloading ios 7.0.2 to my phone, it is copying messages to other phones in my family plan.  How do I stop it?

    After downloading ios 7.0.2 to my phone, it is copying messages to other phones in my family plan.  How do I stop it?  AT&T says it is an apple issue.  I went into imessage and other phone numbers are not checked, so it makes no sense why the messages are still being sent.  Help!

    Is the same Apple ID being shown under Settings > Messages?

  • After downloading iOS 6, I can't seem to shut down my phone after holding the lock and slide key. Phone not jailbroken

    After downloading iOS 6, I can't seem to shut down my phone after holding the lock and slide key. Phone not jailbroken

    You mean lock and home key right? I have the same problem with my 4th gen iPod touch. Seems as though if I hold the buttons again a 2nd time, the iPod automatically restarts as it loads the apple screen that appears when you turn on the iPod/iPhone but I can't get the iPod to stay turned off.

  • Hi I am just after downloading ios 5 to my iphone but now the apps on my phone won't open or work? Any ideas as to why? thanks.

    Hi, I am just after downloading ios 5 to my iphone but now the apps on my phone won't work, even the free ones. Have tried deleting and reinstalling but it asks for credit card details even for the free apps. Any ideas as to why this is happening? Thanks

    If it is asking for account details then it might just need you to confirm your account before it lets you proceed. Maybe the terms and conditions changed since last time or something like that. Try signing into your Apple account in iTunes on a computer first to check that. Then restart the phone and try again.

  • After downloading iOS 7 on my 4S I show 8,976 on my email icon.  How can I eliminate them all without going one at a time?

    After downloading iOS 7 on my 4S it shows 8,976 on the email icon.  How can I move them all to trash without doing it one at a time?

    Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
