    Can't get messages from iphone users on my new Samsung g allaxy and don't have my old iphone anymore ! Please help !

    Be aware, changing your Apple ID password doesn't always work, & can take up to 45 days to work.
    It's either that, or you call AppleCare & have them fix.

  • Lost my Iphone 4g, hooked up old 3gs, can't get messages from people who have me registered with ichat

    Anyone who I had previously used iChat with, can no longer send me texts now that I have had to downgrade back to a 3Gs.
    Lost my Iphone 4g, hooked up old 3gs, can't get messages from people who have me registered with ichat.
    My carrier (Rogers) says they have nothing they can do about it.
    Thanks in advance.

    Correction - iMessage, not iChat.  Too early....

  • ICloud sync problem - getting messages from one contact on two different phones

    My partner and I accidentally synced our phones to the same iCloud account and all of our contacts merged. We solved that problem but now we're both getting messages from one of my contacts at the same time. We've both deleted the contact and the message string, and that hasn't seemed to help. Any advice would be most appreciated.

    Reset iMessage by turning it off and then back on. You might have to restore phones as new because I message Registers the phone with the cloud.

  • Cannot reply to text messages from certain contacts after iOS5 upgrade. Anyone able to help?

    I upgraded to iOS5 on my iPhone 4. Since the upgrade, I have not been able to send text messages to certain contacts, I receive messages from them ok, but when I reply, it is unable to send. Any help appreciated - thanks!

    Apple offers a ridiculous "solution" for a problem they created.
    I recently switched from iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S5. It became clear shortly after activation that I was not receiving texts from other iPhone users.
    After a quick search it became clear that the issue was with iMessage. That is, otheriPhone users were sending me texts via iMessage. While this problem appears to be widespread and my search revealed a class action lawsuit against Apple for this issue, there were no viable solutions.
    In a nutshell, Apple support told me the ONLY fixes to this issues were to 1. Have all of my contacts delete our text thread and 2. Wait 45 days for iMessage to expire. This is outrageous and not a solution at all.

  • Can't get message from mailbox in shell script

    I'm using the shell-script workaround for the problem of creating messages from scripts run by a Mail rule. Can't seem to get the syntax right for getting a message passed from the main routine:
    Main
    <pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:800px">using terms from application "Mail"
    on perform mail action with messages theMessages
    repeat with eachMessage in theMessages
    set theID to id of eachMessage
    set theBox to name of mailbox of eachMessage
    set theAccount to "none"
    try
    set theAccount to name of account of mailbox of eachMessage
    end try
    do shell script "osascript Users/dave/Library/Scripts/Applications/Mail/exp.scpt " & theID & " " & theBox & " " & theAccount
    end repeat
    end perform mail action with messages
    end using terms from
    using terms from application "Mail"
    on run
    tell application "Mail" to set sel to selection
    tell me to perform mail action with messages (sel)
    end run
    end using terms from</pre>
    Shell
    <pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:800px">on run TheArgs
    using terms from application "Mail"
    set theID to item 1 of TheArgs
    set theBox to item 2 of TheArgs
    set theAccount to item 3 of TheArgs
    if theAccount = "none" then
    set theMessage to (message of mailbox theBox) whose id is (theID as integer)
    else
    set theMessage to (message of mailbox theBox of account theAccount) whose id is (theID as integer)
    end if</pre>
    The conditional is so I can test by selecting messages from either my Inbox or other boxes. Either way, though I get runtime errors like: "Can’t get «class mssg» of «class mbxp» \"INBOX\" of «class mact» \"David\" whose id of it = \"19111\". (-1728)"
    I've tried variations, but nothing seems to work.
    BTW, how does one view events or results in a shell script? Neither its window nor the main routine's show anything, and even "log" statements in the shell seem to go nowhere.

    I think I understand what's going wrong. If I select a message in my Inbox, the shell statement
    <pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:800px">set theMessage to (message 1 of mailbox theBox of account theAccount) whose id is (theID as integer)</pre>
    works. If I select a message from an On My Mac box, though, I can't get theAccount in Main in the first place because there's no account associated with those boxes. That's why I set up the "try" in Main and the conditional in the shell. I see now that
    <pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:800px">set theBox to name of mailbox of eachMessage</pre>
    in Main yields only the name of the box -- any containers it may have are omitted. Therefore,
    <pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:800px">set theMessage to (message 1 of mailbox theBox) whose id is (theID as integer)</pre>
    fails if there are any containers. So, I need a "set theBox" statement in Main that produces a proper path to the message, regardless of where it's located. If I can formulate that, a single "set theMessage" in the shell will suffice, without having worry about whether there's an account. I've experimented with "path to" and will continue casting about, but if the solution is apparent to you, please let me know.
    BTW: Echo was a worthwhile "little diversion" for me, because it's led me to a better understanding of what "do shell script" does (i.e., it executes a UNIX command as if it was typed into Terminal) and why it solves the message-creation problem (i.e., it runs the named script as a process that's separate from Mail). I suppose that was obvious to you and many others, but it wasn't to me, despite reading what the AS Language Guide says about it, plus a few Google hits for "osascript." So thank you for that.
    One thing I don't understand, though: If I change the command to "echo $1 $2 $3", nothing appears in Terminal. (I can produce files the way you showed just fine.)

  • Can't receive messages from certain iphones

    I can't receive text messages from other iPhones.  This is a recent problem and doesn't effect all iPhones just certain ones, any one with any ideas?

    No already tried that one.  I can text other people in my circle of friends and family which they receive but I don't receive their replies.  It doesn't occur with any other phone other than I phones.

  • HT1923 Trying to remove ITunes so I can reinstall getting message from windows installer /feature that you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable? How do I correct same message when trying to install upgrade.

    Message receiving is from windows installer:the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable

    Many thanks.
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Does it go through properly this time?

  • Cryptography in networking,client can't get message from server but

    Hello We are developing a simple Networking project where we are chaining CipherStreams to ObjectStream. When client gets connected to the server the server will send initial message to client and flush (but here is the problem) but the client does not get the message and is waiting for the message input.readObject() it just stuck there, what is the reason??
    ---Server Code----
    server = new ServerSocket( 15000, 100 );
    while ( true ) {
    connection = server.accept();
    connection.setTcpNoDelay(true);
    // Get input and output streams.
    desEn.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, desKey);
    //get the raw OutputStream
    outraw = connection.getOutputStream();
    //chain the OutputStream to the coutDES
    CipherOutputStream
    CipherOutputStream coutDES = new CipherOutputStream(outraw, desEn);
    //chain the coutDES CipherOutputStream to
    ObjectOutputStream of output
    output = new ObjectOutputStream(coutDES);
    String message = "SERVER>>>DES CONNECTION SUCCESSFUL!";
    output.writeObject( message );
    output.flush();
    -End of Server Code--
    -- Client code start-
    Cipher desEn = Cipher.getInstance("DES"); //encrypting
    Cipher Cipher desDe = Cipher.getInstance"DES");
    client = new Socket(servername, 15000);
    client.setTcpNoDelay(true);
    desDe.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE,desKey);
    cinDES = new CipherInputStream(inraw, desDe);
    input = new ObjectInputStream(cinDES);
    // We got stuck here the program don't go beyond this line
    Object obj = input.readObject();

    Thank you for your suggestion. But I tried to chain the BufferedStream between ObjectStream and CipherStream. The problem still exit.
    In the c/s sides, there are two functions to use the socket. One is the protocol part which does the handshaking before everything is prepared. Then a JTextField object is enabled and it will also use the socket and the chained stream to commnicate with the other part.
    The concrete problem is strange, it seems there is some hidden buffer which holds the message. When a message is send and flush, it doesn't go to the net, instead it is hold somewhere until an other message is send and flush. So there are some delay. So in my code I have to use sendDate("\n") to push the useful message out into to net. And on the other side, eatBoundary() to get rid of the "\n" and then getMsg() to recieve the useful message.
    However, for some time the communiction stuck, both sides are waiting. But when you send another message, the previous and the new message appear on the other side. In the way, it is hard to implement the handshaking which requires reliable syncronization. You have met the same problem before? If you think it is not clear enough could you send me your email addr and I can send you the source code.
    my addr; [email protected]
    Thanks again!

  • TS2755 Can't send messages to certain contacts

    I am having trouble sending messages to a few of my contacts. The message stops sending right before the end and I get a not delivered message.
    I have rebooted and reset the network settings and turned the  imessage icon off and on and still nothing helps.
    The only way to get the message to go through is to turn my cellular on and then they get the message like an email.
    Very frustrated. I have only had this phone a week and 1/2 and have had more issues than all the years I had my android phone.
    Help!?!?

    I suggest you first reset netowrk settings in your phone and if that does not work, reset the phone by holding the home and the power on button together some 10 or 15 seconds until the while apple appears, then wait for the phone to reset (you will not lose any data).  if all of this does not help, perhaps you should have a word with your carrier to make sure there are no issues with your texting plan.
