Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number

Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number? It keeps going to imessage and then back to text message

Both you and the recipient have to have active data connections, and both devices have to have iOS 5 or higher to be able to use iMessage. Also, they both have to have iMessage activated. If that is already the case, there is a possiblility that iMessage is down. It has gone up and down several times in the past week. Check this page for status, and if necessary you can report a problem with a link in the lower right corner. http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/

  • Why does flash player not work with facebook?

    Why does flash player not work with fcebook?  Whenever I wish to view a video, I get the message that i need to upgrade my flash player. Then no matter how often I download and install flash player I still get the message that I need to upgrade my flash player.  When I go check which version I have, I always get the message that I have the most current one.  I run Mozilla Firefox with Windows.  I don't know anything else.

    This means you don't have the latest version installed.  Update to 11.9.900.117, and Firefox will allow it: Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

  • Why does Apogee Jam not work with the Ipod Touch 4G

    Hi,
    I have a Apogge Jam an it works fine with my Mac Book, but it does not seem to be compatible with my Ipod Touch 4g.
    Only the Gibbson L&M app recognize the Apogee Jam, but no other App (Ampkit, ....) :-((
    With the IPhone 4 it shall work, can tell me anybody why Apogee Jam is not compatible with the Ipod Touch 4g (
    although the Gibson-App works)?
    Is there perhaps still other Apps which work with the Ipod Touch and Apogge Jam?
    Thanks
    Michael

    I cannot answer the specifics, but I would guess it is a software issue because Griffin iTalk app will cooperate with the Apogee JAM on an iPod Touch 4g running iOS5.  If this app can do it, then one would presume the other apps could be updated to do it also.
    From last week up until yesterday, Apogee actually listed the 4G Touch as a compatible device with the JAM.
    Apparently there was some confusion about Garageband now supporting iPod Touch and its functionality with JAM.

  • Why does Server Monitor not work with non-Xserves?

    Does anyone know why Server Monitor does not work with non-Xserve computers? We acquired a Power Mac for a server, based on there being no apparent difference except for the obvious. Turns out there are some differences after all.
    Do Power Macs lack some hardware components or is this just a software thing?

    God question, unfortunitly I dont have the answer but I would also like to know why the software only works for X-Serve....Is there any 3rd Party Software that is similar to "Server Monitor"?
    Thanks

  • How do I fix my iMessage to work with my phone number?

    Two days ago, my iMessage randomly decided to stop working. I am abroad in Asia right now so I have been using iMessage to keep in touch with friends and family at home (US) when I am connected through wifi.
    My issue is that under the "Send and Recieve" in the iMessage settings, my phone number is not listed. Originally, it was greyed out and not selected but after going to an Apple store here and rebooting the settings, the phone number disappeared all together. I have turned off/on wifi, airplane mode, imessage, facetime, date/time, etc. I know the Apple ID is registered with my phone number because when I choose to sign out of my Apple ID and the sign back in under the iMessage settings, my phone number and email are selected to be used. But when I click Next, only my email is shown.
    I will be abroad at least a few more weeks and would really like for it to work here again. I'm afraid it won't work when I'm back in the US as well. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    Correct, my cellular data is currently off. I don't think this will solve my problem because I was able to use iMessage before without my data and only on wifi. If nothing else works, I will try this. But I would like to try to find a solution that doesn't require me using data.

  • Why does for-each not work with Enumeration?

    I'm sure there's some reason for this but I don't know what it would be.
    I am calling an existing method [http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/zip/ZipFile.html#entries()] And it returns Enumeration<? extends ZipEntry>
    What I would like to do is
    Enumeration<? extends ZipEntry> entries = myzipfile.entries();
    for(ZipEntry ze : entries)but this won't compile because Enumeration is not an Iterator. Which kinda sucks.
    Obviously (I think) Enumeration can't be retrofit to be an Iterator without problems and the APIs that return Enumeration can't change without problems so it seems the only way that for-each would work with an Enumeration is if for-each was allowed to work with Iterator and Enumeration.
    So my question is, why isn't it? (To be clear I know how to enumerate an Enumeration, I'd just like to know if anybody has a clue why for-each was not designed to support Enumeration)

    Still it does'nt fully answer the why question. Why does the Collections class not implement a static iterable(Enumeration) method that does not impose the overhead of an addiditional ArrayList, as in the following class:
    import java.util.Collections;
    import java.util.Enumeration;
    import java.util.Iterator;
    import java.util.zip.ZipEntry;
    import java.util.zip.ZipFile;
    public class EnumerationToIterable {
        public static <T> Iterable<T> iterable(final Enumeration<T> enumeration) {
         return new Iterable<T>() {
             @Override
             public Iterator<T> iterator() {
              return new Iterator<T>() {
                  @Override
                  public boolean hasNext() {
                   return enumeration.hasMoreElements();
                  @Override
                  public T next() {
                   return enumeration.nextElement();
                  @Override
                  public void remove() {
                   throw new UnsupportedOperationException();
        public void iterateOne(ZipFile myzipfile) {
         Enumeration<? extends ZipEntry> entries = myzipfile.entries();
         for (ZipEntry ze : Collections.list(entries)) {
             // process ze
        public void iterateTwo(ZipFile myzipfile) {
         Enumeration<? extends ZipEntry> entries = myzipfile.entries();
         for (ZipEntry ze : iterable(entries)) {
             // process ze
    }Could it be more simple?
    (Thanks for the Dukes)

  • Why does snaps pro not work with mountain lion?

    I spent a lot money purchasing the pro addition only to be told that it won't work with mountain lion due to Apple's written something into the code that does not permit me to make videos with it. I even tried ot make a video of Indesign acting up so i could send it to Adobe support and it wouldn't allow me to. Is this the resaon it suddenly doesn't work anymore? Are there plans to fix mountian lion to allow me to use my software? Alternatively,, does Apple have something that does screen captures of videos?

    this is the repsonse form Ambrosia: (Not sure I understand it)
    As far as Snapz Pro X 2 functionality, some major backend Digital Rights Management changes enacted by Apple may be what is preventing you from recording movies you were previously able to record using our software. Basically, our program can no longer access videos before the DRM protections are enabled, unfortunately we have no control over these changes. Please see the following FAQ:http://www.ambrosiasw.com/support/faqs/products/snapz-pro-x /Why-does-the-content-of-my-capture-display-as-a-checkerboard
    BTW I am current on the latgest version.
    Does anybody know how to work around my problem? I need to be able to record videos on my computer.
