Can't receive groupp chat messages or files

Until literally an hour ago, skype worked fine. But recently, very suddenly, I could receive neither files nor messages in group chats (not sure if all chats or just some) unless I went offline and online again or restarted my client. I tried deleting my skype file in appdata, but that didn't work. I'm running an old version, 6.20.0.104, but I don't think that's the problem as, like I previously mentioned, it worked until an hour ago. Another friend has a similar problem, but his only pertains to a few chat rooms and nothing allows him to see the messages at all. He's running version 7.6.0.105. Neither of us has received any error message or other sign of things amiss, besides group chats not receiving messages. This resolved after a few minutes, but it's still VERY laggy and I'm worried it might relapse. Is there anything I can do, and suggest my friend do?

Is Cellular Data enabled?
Have you tried Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings?
Have you tried a reset or restart of the device?
Have you contacted the carrier?
Have you tried anything?   If so, what?

  • If someones is using my account/apple id can they receive calls or messages too?? and how can i notice  if someones using my apple id??

    if someones is using my account/apple id can they receive calls or messages too?? and how can i notice  if someones using my apple id??

    You cannot make your @icloud.com address the login address for the ID. However you can change your ID, currently a Gmail one, to any other functioning non-Apple email address. The Gmail address would then no longer access your account, and so even if someone were to obtain posession of it (is that even possible) it wouldn't allow them to get into your account.
    If you want to change your ID to another email address please follow the procedure outlined below, particularly noting the first step.
    Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
    Create a new email address, for example  at Yahoo or Gmail, or anywhere convenient (or you can use an existing address as long as it has never been associated with an Apple ID).
    Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
    Where it says 'Apple ID and primary email address' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
    Enter your new address and click 'Save changes'.
    Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
    Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
    I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.

  • Can't receive normal text messages after updating to iOS5, only iMessages

    Over the summer I bought iOS5 from a developer and had it on my phone for about a month until it crashed and I had to restore from a backup. So I put iOS5 back on my phone, and it crashed it again. I decided to wait until yesterday to put it back on, because it was legit and through Apple. Now I can't receive normal text messages from non-iPhone users. I'm only receiving iMessages. The only way to fix it is to turn off iMessage, but that's one of the main features of the update. Help?

    i may put my iphone in the toaster tonight i am so $%#@!*^ frustrated.
    i have an iphone 4 which i upgraded to ios5 about 4 days ago. yesterday, i realized i wasn't able to receive any text messages, but was (and am still getting imessages), along with the ever-so-vague 'sms mailbox is full, delete some text messages' alert.
    so i came to the internet to find out about the supposed 15mb (75k*) limit. Apple's solution on their own site was 'hey, crazy hoarder, why don't you delete some texts?? there you go, EASY PEAZY!' except that didn't work...for me, and a ton of other people apparently.
    i came down from 76something to around 67k.
    I hard restarted, i ignored it, i deleted more texts, i bought phoneview, i deleted MORE texts, more restarts, NOTHING. it has now been 48 hours with no texts. NEED I ASSURE YOU THAT I AM A VERY IMPORTANT PERSON (as we all are).
    so i backed up my phone (again, as i did before the upgrade), and restored it to factory nothingness. restart. restart. stare blankly. no texts.
    then, i go to restore from backup (via itunes) so i can at least get all my contacts and whatnot back. lo and behold, my backup is gone. only the option to set up my 'new' iphone. i delay utter panic for a brief second and silently pray to the angel steve, sitting upon his giant white icloud, remembering that i actually paid for extra icloud space and backed up to that as well.
    now i'm just waiting for it to restore AT LEAST my contacts, which it now seems to have done by the time i've typed this. PARTIAL crisis averted.
    alas, i STILL am not getting any text messages. it seems that calling apple does nothing since apparently no one was told about this and/or how to fix this. i cannot receive text messages from my boyfriend, my parents, my colleagues who all are iphoneless and better off than me at this point.
    i am leaving for a business trip in 12 hours. i'd like to figure this out before i put this thing in the garbage disposal or violently smash and use it's parts as confetti. although by the time i do, i will probably have lost all my friends and been disowned by my family for ignoring their jokes / emoticons / cries for help.
    i fear apple has become a sentient being, and this is it's way of forcing all people of earth to use iphones...for there will be no other way to communicate with each other once we evolve and are all born with giant thumbs instead of vocal chords...hold me im scared...
    it's so dark here...

  • Gmail & Mail 3.0: Sudden new problems--can't receive or delete messages

    For the last two days I've had very odd problems with Mail. They seemed to start out of the blue; the only thing new I've done in this time frame is get an iPhone, which I set up with imap/gmail (I installed Leopard long before these problems started). For a couple of days I was unable to send messages. Then suddenly last night I was able to send but now I can't receive or delete messages. Does anyone know what may be the problem and what to do? Thanks so much.

    I'll add my sad story...
    Since upgrading, one email account will not receive mail - says the server reject my password, although I can retrieve my mail from the web. It is a POP account, although I tried setting up another with the same settings but as an IMAP account, with no luck. Outgoing mail is fine and other accounts, such as .mac and gmail seem to work. Tried recreating the account as a new user (so no old preferences messing things up) and from a new mail program (Thunderbird), but still rejects my password. I will try from an 10.4 machine today to see if I can get my mail.

  • TS4268 Android users can't receive my text messaging but their not able to get mine.

    Android users can't receive my text messaging but their not able to get mine. Please help.

    It isn't your issue, it is his. He needs to make sure he has turned of iMessage and removed his number from the iMessage database. If he does not still have the device, he needs to contact Apple Care to take care of it.

    I just want to be able to IM people. I already updated IE/re-installed skype. This isn't a problem on my end, it just started breaking randomly. My internet connection is fine and skype isn't broken, as you can tell by the fact that I can still send individual message.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi. Due to the skype customer service system being total and complete astronomical **bleep** my friends and I struggled with this for ages and found some easy fixes and an answer to what we think is wrong.
    First the answer:
    Everyone in your group has to have a fully updated skype, everyone, even on their phones, or laptops or tablets or w/e. Every single person has to be fully updated.
    I won't even start explaining why that's stupid or begin to question why skype, in all their glorious incompetence, didn't force roll this update.
    That being said if you're still having trouble update internet explorer, because skype is dependent on outdated, unused, insecure technology.
    The reason:
    As far as I can tell skype switched recently how they control chat rooms with multiple people in it. I believe originally skype would randomly choose a host and a co-host (not the ones assigned as roles in the room). 
    When skype released their most recent update they changed their groups from being ran by your peers (the host and cohost) to being cloud hosted. This means that if not everyone is updated some people are referencing the cloud chat, some people are referencing the regular chat. 
    These skype roles are invisible to the users and if one (or maybe both) are not updated then the skype group won't work.
    This is just a guess based on what I've observed. I don't care enough about skype to properly research it but 
    TLDR: Everyone in the group must be fully updated ON CREATION OF THE GROUP.
    Seriously how many programmers does it take to write a group message room, basically my high school computer science final project.

  • Nokia 6233 can't receive SMS/text message

    My Nokia 6233 stopped receiving SMS/text messages, although I can send messages and receive/make phone calls. I let the battery run flat and then recharged again. It received some messages but stopped receiving messages again a short time later. I must say I have not been letting my battery run flat on a regular basis. Is this the cause? I bought the phone 2 years ago.
    I do have 600 plus messages in my phone- is this the cause too?
    Cheers.

    I don't think it is a battery issue. The more likely culprit is your memory getting almost full. Try deleting some old unwated messages or any other files. It is probably time to do a spring clean after 2 years.

  • I can't receive any text messages from other persons but I can send messages to them, I do not know if it is all about the phone or the carrier. help me! :(

    I can't really receive any messages. It's all delayed. I'm from Philippines. my iPhone had been unlocked since my mom bought it in USA. I can't receive any messages here in our province but when I'm in Metro Manila, it's working. so Help me

    Yes, I already talked about this to my carrier. Do you think it doesn't have any problem with the phone?

  • I can delete my Facebook Chat messages from my Desktop PC but I can't from my IPad.

    How do I delete Facebook  chat messages from my IPad?

    The Facebook Application doesn't have the full funtionality of the desktop versions.  There is actully other things you can't do the from the Ipad that you can do on the desktop version.
    All you can do is send feedback to Facebook to update the Ipad version for more functionality.

  • Samsung Stratosphere can't receive/send media messages?

    Hi I recently received my phone and I can't receive media messages or send..it just keeps saying downloading but nothing ever happens.  Also when i'm not on my home wi-fi, i can't access the internet at all!  i tried pulling out my card, the battery, powering down.  Nothing is working!!! Any help!?

    I know this is an old thread, and I would hope you have this figured out by now, but I sounds like you have your mobile data turned off.  Press menu>settings>wireless & networks and check the mobile data box.  This needs to be on for MMS to work.  Mobile data is turned off automatically while connected to WiFi, so you don't have to worry about using your data allotment when using WiFi.

  • Was not receiving Facebook chat messages through Skype, unlinked Facebook and can no longer link

    Hi there, I noticed I was no longer receiving Facebook messages in Skype, I followed some recommendations to unlink my Facebook account from Skype, which I did via the web interface, now I cannot seem to link it again. When I click the "Learn More" it just shows me how to sign in to Skype with my Facebook account. I don't want to sign in using my Facebook account. I want to continue to use my Skype ID and chat to my Facebook friends from there. Can this still be done?

    Skype dropped support for Facebook because Facebook decided to change it's data sharing policy. It means that no 3-rd party application can' t connect to Facebook now. It's business as usual. Only thing is to hope that Skype can push Facebook to make some exceptions for Skype, in the name of Skype community.

  • Can't receive iMessages via Messages on Mountain Lion? However, can send.

    This seems to be intermittent. At some point Messages stops receiving iMessages. It stops even showing me the iMessages I send from Messages. They are in fact sent though. I can see them on my iPhone and iPad and have confirmed the recipient receives them.
    If I remove my account and add it back that sometimes takes care of it. However, it's just a matter of time (usually a day or two) before it stops working again. This is really frustrating. I stopped using Me years ago and this is my first experience trusting Apple with a messaging service again. It's like returning to an abusive relationship! Please help!

    Hi,
    There is an issue that sometime crops up in both iChat and Messages  where the individual IMs (or iMessages) don't show up in the Chat even though the chat is progression.
    If this describes what is happening to you then go to the View Menu > Messages and change th Style choice to anything but Balloons.  (Only change this when the Chat window is "Front")
    Does this improve things ?
    The Message Style are controlled by Plug-ins.
    It is not clear what happens to the Balloon one but often people have the symptoms you describe.
    Up to iChat 5 (in Snow Leopard)  you could use  the Install disk to reinstall just iChat and then re-update it by running the combo version of the last update (iChat and Messages updates are included in the OS X updates)
    I would try Downloading and Installing the Combined version of the last OS X Update over what you have.

  • ITunes volume lowers when I received Facebook chat message

    This just happened for the first time tonight. Whenever I receive a message on Facebook chat, my iTunes volume drops very far. I can still hear it, but barely. And a while after the message is sent it comes back to full volume.
    Is there some way I can turn this off? It's terribly annoying.

    Hi there,
    I think I found the answer. If you go to Control Panel, then hardware and sound. Click on Sound, then go to the communications tab. If I'm correct, what should be selected is that Windows reduces all other sounds by 80% when it detects communication activity. What I'm guessing is that the facebook chat 'pop' you hear is taken by Windows to be incoming communication warranting a reduction in sound. Change this to 'Do Nothing', and you should be all good.
