  • Why can I receive but not send messages through Mail?

    I recently installed a wireless router (linksys). I can send mail at the local coffee shop, yet here at home I can't. I know it's something very simple, but I'm giving up...and asking for help in fear of tweaking the settings beyond my knowledge. I get a popup that tells me I can't use the listed server for outgoing mail. I have a couple choices...1) lynksys 2)stmp.mac.com:tugboater.
    I wish I could get it set up...Its annoying to have to use mt yahoo address.
    Heelllppp!

    Help! I have read through this string, but not found an answer. I too, can receive emails but not send them. The problem started last week - I've been successfully using my mail account for 2 years and then last week, stuff I send just disappears - no error messages. I didn't change any settings or do any updates. All sent messages show in my "sent" folder, as well. I have tried everything, including restoring my hard drive from a backup copy made before I was having difficulty.
    I used suggestions in the online help, including using the "ping" function to see if I was communicating with my outgoing mail server. Trying to ping mail.mac.com I get the error message:
    "PING mail.mac.com (17.250.248.152): 56 data bytes
    --- mail.mac.com ping statistics ---
    10 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
    I am using mail and .mac mail through a cable DSL line and Airport wireless connection.
    I tried changing my outgoing port to 110 and to 25 without help.
    Any thoughts?

  • Why can't I particate in an message from my iPad?

    When I try to initiate a Message process from my iPad the send button is dimmed. I can see my other Messages processes running but all those processes are on my iPhone. Message works perfectly on the iPhone. Is it only one Message process per user that is allowed to participate or am configured wrong?

    1. Messages on the iPad can only be sent to other iDevices
    2. The receiving party must also be registered with iMessage
    Note: The two above conditions must be met.

  • Why can't I receive and send messages and emails

    Since updating my iPad to 7.0.3 I am unable to send or receive messages or emails what has happened

    You will probably have to try a reset first: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go. You may still have to go into your settings for email & messaging to re-enter your passwords.

  • Why does my phone say invalid sim and why can I not phone or send messages on it

    Usually cuz its locked to a network other then the SIM's. Did you swap SIMs today? Or it's not seated properly. Take it out and reinsert carefully.

  • Why can't I receive or send gmail on my ipad air?

    Can no longer get email or send email on gmail. Has anyone else solved this problem?

    have you setup gmail as pop3 or imap?
    have you gon over each setting and compared them with googles guide?
    if yes then maybe your carrier is blocking required ports for email in which case you should talk with them or use webmail from https://mail.google.com/mail

    In which case, clearly communicating the intent would have been a better solution.  The steps do apply.  A more appropriate response would have been "tried that, no change".
    Regardless of whether they fixed the problem or not, they do apply.
    If English is not your native language, I would strongly encourage you to post in your native language going forward.
    If basic troubleshooting has not resolved the issue, the next step is to take the device to Apple for evaluation.

    Ok. So I figured out that I can add the email address to my iPhone 4s to receive the iMessages sent/received from my iPad. How do I get the messages on my iPad that were sent to my iPhone?  Is it possible?

  • Why can't my iPhone 5 send or receive photos from non iPhone users?

    Why can't my iPhone 5 send or receive photos from non iPhone users?

    Hello GoldenStarZ,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post I see that you're unable to send picture messages to non-iOS devices.  These messages are called MMS, and in order to troubleshoot the issue please follow the steps in the article below.
    If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Take care,

  • Why can't I receive group text messages?

    Why can't I receive group text messages?  I can send group messages and receive a response and texting to individuals works also.  My carrier is AT&T

    Do I really have to have my LTE/3G data enabled in order to send/receive group text messages????  YES.
    If so, that's a complete waste of my data package as far as I'm concerned. ... I'm not sure why I can't send/receive group text messages as plain texts????
    Group messages are considered MMS, not SMS.  MMS is transmitted over the cellular (data) network.  It does NOT use your data plan, it uses your texting allowance.  But data DOES need to be enabled to send and receive group and picture texts.

  • Why can I no longer delete specific messages on my iphone5?  There now is only an option to Delete All i.e. the entire conversation.

    Why can I no longer delete specific messages on my iphone5?  There now is only an option to Delete All i.e. the entire conversation.  Can this be resolved.

    I don't know what to tell you if you really are running iOS 5 but on iOS 8 when you hold down a message you get the options Copy and More. When you click more you can select a specific message and click the trash can to delete just that message. Check and see if you have that as an option.

  • Why can I receive but not send emails

    Why can I receive but not send emails on my i pad?

    Perhaps the outgoing mail server settings are incorrect or incomplete.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.
