Why doesn't iMessage show when the message is read, all the time?

Why doesn't iMessage show when the message is read, all the time?

It depends on the recipients settings, whether they have read receipts set to on or off.  If they have it off, you will not be notified of the actual time they read your message.

  • Inbox shows 1 unread message after opening all the messages.why are new inbox messages not highlighted

    I cannot find the unread message despite having opened all my inbox messages and wonder why the new messages are no longer in bold text.

    Right click the folder, select properties and then the repair button. A new index might clear it.
    If not try
    View menu > folders > unread see if Thunderbird can find it since it says it is there after an index rebuild.

  • Why are my imessages showing up as my email adress to one of my contacts but not the others?

    When I use imessage there is one contact in my phone that recieves my messages from my email address... everyone else recieves them from my number exept him.  I want to be able to use my imessage without it going as my email to him.

    The problem is you are both using the same Apple ID.
    You should each have your own.
    Check the settings here:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Recieve > remove the number that doesn't belong
    This will fix the message problem but using the same Apple ID will also merge all iCloud items enabled on the device here:
    Settings > iCloud
    Such as:
    Contacts, calendars , reminders, pjjotos, bookmarks, etc...
    It can get quit messy. It is always best to use your own Apple iD if for nothing else but iCloud.

    hi,
    Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch ?
    Do they appear eventually ?
    The iMessages are "pushed" to the devices which means there can be small delays between the server recognising the device went Off Line and coming back.

    Hi hongkongpom,
    Just wanted to say that after posting the problem, I had a chat with an iTunes' Tech Support, her name is Rebekah.  My problem was resolved after that.  Will list the chat history below in hopes that it may help you as well.
    Good luck!

    Chat Transcript
    Friday, October 4, 2013 05:55 AM
    Duration: 81 minutes 28 seconds
    Rebekah:
    Welcome to AppleCare chat support. Please give me a moment to look over your information.
    Rebekah:
    Hi, Samia! My name is Rebekah. If we get disconnected, please chat us back. http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/contactEnter the case number from the initial email we sent you. This gives the next advisor you chat with immediate access to your case history.
    Rebekah:
    Could you please confirm your serial number? I want to be sure we provide the best service possible for you, Samia!
    SAMIA:
    Sure, it's 8L8395UY2C5
    SAMIA:
    My problem is with iTunes.
    Rebekah:
    Thanks for that confirmation. Just a heads up, this is iOS Tech Support. We do support iPod touches, iPads, and iPhones, but not the iPod classic. But no worries! I can get you in touch with a phone Advisor who can get you in touch with the department that specializes in iPod classics and would be able to better assist you. Would that be OK?
    SAMIA:
    I wasn't able to install the new version of iTunes (version 11.1.1). The installation keeps failing. The they suggested the I install it manually and that failed too. I will attach the message I received.
    SAMIA:
    I don't have a problem with iPod.
    SAMIA:
    Just iTunes
    Rebekah:
    No problem! We can certainly troubleshoot iTunes as much as possible. It may come to the point that you may have to transferred, but we can do as much as possible during this chat!
    Rebekah:
    Thanks for the screenshot. It is a bit small so I am unable to fully see the message that you are receiving. What is the error message you are receiving?
    SAMIA:
    This is the message I received in case you weren't able to open the attachment: "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2324."
    Rebekah:
    Thanks for that info!
    SAMIA:
    Pleasure!
    Rebekah:
    What version of Windows (XP, Vista, 7) do you have?
    SAMIA:
    Windows 7
    SAMIA:
    Windows 7 Home Premium
    Rebekah:
    Thanks for that confirmation. I do apologize for the delay, Samia. I am researching this error code now. You mentioned trying to install iTunes manually. To be sure I am on the same page, what steps did you take to do that?
    SAMIA:
    Well when the indsatalltion failed I was given instructions to select Download Only from Tools and then install manually. When I did it, I window popped up with the following items: - AppleApplicationSupport
    SAMIA:
    - AppleMobileDeviceSupport64
    SAMIA:
    - Bonjour64
    SAMIA:
    iTunes64
    SAMIA:
    SetupAdmin
    SAMIA:
    I selected Repair in all of them instead of Remove and all worked but iTunes64
    SAMIA:
    That's when I received the message that I sent you earlier.
    SAMIA:
    By the way, this is the fir st time something like this occured. I never had problems with installation before.
    Rebekah:
    I completely understand what you're saying. Since that Repair did not resolve the issue, our best option is to uninstall iTunes and its components and redownload it. To do this, we will follow the steps in this article: Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Rebekah:
    First, we will want to quit iTunes and/or Apple Software Update if those are open at this time.
    SAMIA:
    Rebekah, the instructions you gave says, "For Windows XP, follow these steps to remove and reinstall iTunes and other software components for Windows XP."
    SAMIA:
    I closed all applications
    SAMIA:
    Also, my iTunes doesn't open anymore after the new failed installation.
    Rebekah:
    The section that says "For Windows XP…" is in case we opened up the wrong article, as we have the one for Windows Vista, 7, or 8. There is a link to click ("these steps") in those directions that would take us to the article for uninstalling on a Windows XP.
    Rebekah:
    So no worries! We have the right article!
    Rebekah:
    On the computer, we will want to click on Start > Control Panel. In Control Panel, we will click the "Uninstall a program" link.
    SAMIA:
    I thought so after doing a little exploration.
    SAMIA:
    done
    Rebekah:
    Alright, we'll want to select iTunes from the list of currently installed programs. Then we will click Uninstall. When asked if you would like to remove iTunes, let's click Yes.
    Rebekah:
    After the uninstallation is complete, we don't want to restart your computer if you're prompted.
    SAMIA:
    Done
    Rebekah:
    Then if you see other iTunes entries on the list, we'll want to remove them the same way.
    Rebekah:
    Then we will remove all instances of Apple Software Update the same way you removed iTunes.
    SAMIA:
    Okay, but do I have to remoce iCloud as well?
    SAMIA:
    Rebekah, I received the same error message again when uninstalling
    Rebekah:
    We actually do not need to remove iCloud. After the Apple Software Update, we will want to remove all instances of Apple Mobile Device Support
    Rebekah:
    How strange! Are you able to click past that and allow the process to continue or has it stopped it completely?
    SAMIA:
    I am unable to uninstall iTunes either
    SAMIA:
    Stopped completely
    SAMIA:
    I treied clicking Repair
    Rebekah:
    Alright, after trying the Repair option, let's see if it will allow us to continue uninstalling or not.
    SAMIA:
    I tried that but unfortunately, it isn't working. I still get that same message with error code 2324.
    Rebekah:
    This error code is not something that I am finding in my sources, Samia. So there is a chance that it is being caused with the Windows computer itself. However, I did find a link that may be able to help with uninstalling iTunes from Windows' support site: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
    SAMIA:
    Rebekah, you're a genius! It worked! iTunes is no longer there. What next?
    Rebekah:
    Awesome! I'm glad that worked!
    Rebekah:
    To be sure I am on the same page, what was the last component we uninstalled?
    SAMIA:
    iTunes
    SAMIA:
    Shall I remove the Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support, and Apple Software Update
    Rebekah:
    That is correct! However, we do want to uninstall it in the order I mentioned above. So Apple Software Update first, Apple Mobile Device Support next, and then Apple Mobile Device Support.
    SAMIA:
    Got it, but is the second one to uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support OR Apple pplication Support?
    Rebekah:
    The second one is Apple Mobile Device Support.
    Rebekah:
    The Application Support will be the last component we uninstall.
    SAMIA:
    Thanks! I'm on it.
    SAMIA:
    Done! ll 3 are gone, well 4 with iTunes. Now what?
    Rebekah:
    Awesome! Also, I just noticed that I accidentally typed Apple Mobile Device Support twice, I do apologize for any confusion! Now we will remove all instances of Bonjour and then remove all instances of Apple Application Support.
    SAMIA:
    There was only 1 instance with Bonjour. I don't know what the instances are for Apple Application Support
    Rebekah:
    Yes, Bonjour is often only listed once. Is the Apple Application Support listed at all?
    SAMIA:
    No
    SAMIA:
    Since I removed it
    Rebekah:
    Oh, perfect! If it was removed, we should be set!
    Rebekah:
    We have removed iTunes and its components now! From here, our next step is to restart the computer. Then once you reboot, you can redownload iTunes from apple.com/itunes
    Rebekah:
    That should allow you to download iTunes!
    SAMIA:
    Shall I downloaad the latest vesion?
    Rebekah:
    You will want to first restart the computer as shown in the article. That will ensure that this process goes smoothly and that everything was removed correctly! Then you can try downloading iTunes again.
    SAMIA:
    Okay, thanks Rebekah!
    Rebekah:
    You're very welcome! I'm glad I could help! And of course if you have any issue after the reboot and download, you can always chat us back, as chat is open 24 hours! You will just need to give your case number and the next Advisor would have all my notes!
    SAMIA:
    Thanks again for all your help, for I couldn't have managed with out it. Have a nice day!
    Rebekah:
    You're very welcome! I know how important iTunes is and I'm glad we could get you on a path to resolution!
    Rebekah:
    I hope you have a lovely day!
    Rebekah:
    It's been a pleasure speaking with you! Thanks for chatting with us Samia. If you don't have any more questions, select End Chat from the upper left corner of the chat window.
    SAMIA:
    Will do, thanks.
