Can't send message using Messages app on iPad

iOS 5.0 Messages app - can't send message to valid contact using iPhone?

I have been having the same problem. I have a dot mac account wich I use as my primary e-mail account. I receive just fine, I just cannot send using mail. If I loggon to the dot mac website, I can send mail that way. But I cannot send using mail. The strange part is, I can use mail on my iBook (G3), and my daughters eMac (G4). I have checked, they all hace the same options checked in the account settings. But, my pride and joy (iMac G4) refuses to send mail. It gets frustrating having to logon to the website just to send mail. HELP.

  • Can't send attachments using Messages 8.0

    I am unable to send/receive attachments to people using messages. I'm running Mavericks 10.9 and Messages 8.0. I constantly get send failed when looking at the file transfers section. All my settings match the chat service.

    Hi,
    If it is a corporate thing then if it is using a OS X server it will be iChat Sever which is in fact Jabber.
    There is a good chance it will be Jabber anyways.
    Jabber uses port 1080 to Sending files normally.
    However if Server to Server (i.e the Buddy is on a different server) then port 7777 is sometimes used for a particular Jabber Proxy.
    With a domestic router you login using a web browser.
    Most will then offer several methods of opening Ports.
    The simplest is UPnP as it is an On/Off setting.
    This will allow multiple devices use the same ports - handy when iPhone, iPads and Macs can be doing things in Messages and iMessages
    Port Forwarding tends to have a table where you list the ports you want to open.
    These are then (generally) pointed at one IP (Computer) to the exclusions of others.
    There are other methods.
    If it is via a server you will need to contact the IT guys and gals about what they have open and whether they will allow others.

  • If I have cellular capabilities turned on, can I send a text message to any type of cell phone thu iMessage?

    If I have cellular capabilities turned on, can I send a text message to any type of cell phone using iMessage? Or do I need a app such as Text Plus to do this.  I have a New iPad.  Thanks for any info.

    iMessagel is basically an online chat kinda service. It does not use a carrier service to send text message. It only does instant messages. At least on the iPad side. iPhones are given to choise of sending via iMessage and text depending on the receiver.

  • How can i send and receive messages through CAN

    Hi,
    how can i send and receive messages using Vector CAN CARDXL

    As mentioned in this forum post, if you have a dll, this can easily be called from LabVIEW or CVI.
    I also went to the vector website and it does look like they have LabVIEW drivers available for download.

  • Imessaging doesnt work after iOs 6 update, can't send or recieve messages. it isnt the wifi since everything else is working. have tried every solution possible. help?!

    imessaging on ipod touch doesnt work after iOs 6 update, can't send or recieve messages. it isnt the wifi since everything else is working. have tried every solution possible. help?!

    Short of a reset to factory settings I've found making sure iMessaging is not left minimised helps. It doesn't seem to keep its connection. So, by closing after each use this helps. I've been doing this since I logged out of iMessaging at least 1/2 doz times and even changed my apple id pw as this had ceased to be recognised. I get fewer send failures now and don't have an inactive send button so much. Having said this its all a bit of a work around as iMessaging isn't behaving as it once did. If over time not resolved will do factory reset. All the best.

  • Can't send pictures with Messages, but I can receive them.

    While chatting with a friend I was trying to send him a picture using the native Mountain Lion chat client Messages.
    If he sends me a picture I first see a large grey rectangle with a progress indicator which gets replaced by the sent picture once it finished loading.
    If I try to send a picture it appears in the chat immediately but then gets replaced by the file name. He only sees the file name the whole time.
    Both of us have Mountain Lion installed and use Messages with firewalls disabled.
    We both have a googletalk account and were using that as our Jabber Messages account.
    Audiochat and Videochat works without problems. Text messaging works without problems.
    The only issue is me not being able to send pictures using Messages, no matter if I drag the picture into the client with finder or with iPhoto.
    Is Messages using any special ports that need to get routed through?

    HI,
    Both of you should use the Window Menu to open the File Transfer Window.
    You may list the item as "Failed"
    Uploaded with Skitch!
    The other end may say "Waiting".
    If they do say "waiting" then your Buddy should open Activity Monitor (Applications/Utilities) and find the IMTransferAgent and Quit it from inside Activity Monitor
    The four lower items were testing between a Jabber account and  a Google ID  ( File appears twice as the "To" and "From" in this case)
    I do find my Google account tends to be the most unreliable in File Transfers or Pics-in-Chats

  • Can I send an I message from my I pads

    Can I send an I message from my I pad

    Sure ... to another Apple device that is on WiFi, assuming you set iMessage up correctly on your iPad.
    See this.  It applies to iPad as well as iPhone.  (But remember an iPad cannot send or receive SMS text messzges.)

  • Can't send mail, get message: the smtp server rejected the password. I tried lock and unlock keychain. I tried unlock captcha. Gmail works okay, it is Mail that does not. Help!! :(

    Hi
    You need to check with your ISP whether or not the send mail server (SMTP) requires a password.  Some do, but many do not.  When you know the correct password to send mail, then you need to tell Mail as follows:
    Mail menu > Preferences > Accounts > Select the account
    Click on the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) combo box, and select Edit SMTP Server List...
    In the Account Information tab put the server name
    In the Advanced Tab, set up the authentication information from your ISP.
    Good luck

    Hi 
    It could be a case that the network you are connected to is having problems.
    If you go to Settings > Carrier > Turn off Automatic > This will prompt the device to do a manual search. Once completed chose a different network and test.
    Also is it a particular number it's failing to or have you tried a few?
    Let me know how you get on.
    Thanks.
