Can't send messages on mac. Changed phone but not number

Immesages say they have sent on mac but not received by conatct and do not pop up on phone

Hello,
If you open the Activity viewer (click on Window in the menubar and choose Activity) and watch when you try to send, what phases if any are indicated are taking place before failure?
What type of authentication is required for this SMTP? When using in Entourage, what are the selections in Advanced sending options, particularly regarding the box beside Use same settings as receiving mail server?

TS2755 When I downloaded the iOS 7 to my iphone I can only send messages to other I phones?

When I downloaded the ios7 to my iphone4 I now can only send messages to other iPhones, but can call and receive calls from everyone?

In settings for Messages, do you have "send as SMS enabled"?

Hello there, missjanellez.
The following link from the online iCloud Help menu provides some practical information in regards to shared stream functionality:
Manage Subscribers to your shared streams.
http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7bfa
On an iOS 7 device
In the Photos app, tap Shared at the bottom of the screen, then tap Streams at the top of the screen.
Tap the shared stream whose subscribers you want to manage, then tap People.The Activity stream doesn’t have subscribers.
Do any of the following:
To invite more people, tap Invite People, enter email addresses or tap the Add button to select from your contacts, then tap Add.
To remove a subscriber, tap the subscriber, then tap Remove Subscriber.
To choose whether subscribers can add photos and videos, tap Subscribers Can Post.
If the subscriber list doesn’t include Invite People, you don’t own the shared stream.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro

This relates to an earlier question I asked: I have an iPhone and can send messages to a galaxy phone but the person cannot receive them; however, I can send them and it sounds like they are sent, but are not received. I can get them from a galaxy.

This relates to an earlier question I asked: I have an iPhone and can send messages to a galaxy, but the person cannot receive them; however, I can receive messages from the galaxy. I have only had an iPhone so the problem does not relate to a change in phones. Up until about 1month ago I could send to the galaxy and they could be read. Help!

Can't send e-mail on one phone, but can on another

I got two iphones - one for myself and one for my wife. We have a family plan, and I set mine up first and hers second. Amongst the problems:
1. I can receive calls and she can't. The phones were activated at 1830 and 1845 on 6/30. I got the text message that my phone could receive calls at 0915 on 7/1. AT&T help line said her phone could not receive calls because 1) the old phone was still on (actually, both of our old phones were still on), and 2) I had not completed the syncing process by downloading music and photos (contacts had been synced) - I thought this was bull, as did the Apple Geniuses. Needless to say, I've tried their fixes for the above and it still doesn't work.
2. My wife (with a different .mac account) can't send any e-mails from her phone. She gets an error message that her e-mail was refused by the server "Cannot Send Mail - The sender address [email protected] was rejected by the server". We have Comcast ISP. My e-mails get sent from my phone and get through fine. She can view her e-mails in her box, however, they do not load (we get the spinning dashes). This was fixed when we did a soft reboot, but it happened again.
2a - How do I try to re-send the e-mail that is in the Outbox? I can view it, but it won't let me re-send it...
Thanks!

I want to send messages using my iPad Air but not as iMessages

I Don't want to use iMessages but do want to be able to send messages (they can stay green) because I sometimes want to do the message but not to another apple user. I am unable to send any messages using the text bubble icon, or receive them to look back at them, except on my phone. Do I need to sync those somehow or changes settings. I have disabled "iMessage" in my settings! I could do this for a while but have had several changes since then trying to get my iPad to be what I need it for.

Can't send messages to my Android phone from an iPhone

I used to own an iPhone and have just switched to Android. Now no other iPhone users can send me a text message without first disabling imessage on their own phones first. I have tried deleting iCloud account on my old iPhone, resetting to factory settings, disabling Find My iPhone, erasing my phone number from iCloud, all to no avail. Unfortunately, on the apple.com website there appears to be no option to permanently delete your account. This is very frustrating, I just want to be rid of the account permanently and use my new phone without interference. Please help, thanks in advance!

Hey Rhurac,
Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like your phone number is still activated with iMessage. The following resource may provide a solution:
iOS: Deactivating iMessage
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5185
Resolution
If you are experiencing one of the symptoms above, the cellular phone number may still be registered with iMessage.
iMessage is registered with your cellular telephone number when you turn it on with your iPhone. If you want to deregister your phone number:
- Tap Settings > Messages and turn iMessage off
If you still cannot deactivate iMessage after you perform the steps above, or if you no longer have access to the iPhone, please contact Apple support for assistance.
Thanks,
Matt M.

I can no longer receive me emails from my .mac account on my iMac even though I have been able to receive it for the past number of years, I have an iCloud account and it is sending my mail to my phone but not my desktop. What gives...

I can no longer receive my emails from the icloud to my mac even though it has been doing it fine since I moved to the icloud a number of weeks now. I only get my mail if I log into icloud or I get it on my phone, it is not synching to my iMac. Can someone assist please.
Thanks
Don

I tried something similar by adding a new mail account doing the apple id etc but it worked in that it would look for mail but no mail would come even though mail still goes to my phone I was loath to delete my original account just in case the new one did not work as well. So I guess I am a little stuck now.. I hope you can help me to sort it out.
Thanks

How can Time Machine restore older Mac Pro's - But not Disk Utility?

Hey,
So I had posted a discussion earlier last week asking about older MacPro's (2006 - 2008) versions that do not seem to run snow leopard if you just try to install with the MAC OS X 10.6.2 disc - I was trying to use my new Snow Leopard image that i have created for the new school year, and I tried to image a 2006 MacPro model and a 2008 MacPro model, etc... This would not work, it would let me start the imaging process and then it would give me an error that looked like this "ev/disk02o does not have enough space" And i just figured that was the computer code way of telling me that the image i had created was not readable by the computer or the disk utility, but this must be something that was written into the programing of Disk Utility or Snow Leopard because i found a loop hole - I was able to "restore" the backup of the new image that i made using Time Machine on the 2008 MacPro and even the 2006 MacPro - which both have earlier versions of the Intel chip. The restored image works fine, all programs work the same as a 2009 MacPro that i imaged the same image onto using disk utility and i have found no problems yet using any part of the system. MY QUESTION: I'm wondering how i was able to do this and if anyone has had a similar experience trying to get images accross a bunch of different models of MacPro's - Is Time Machine a "better" way to restore the disk image? Did Apple do this on purpose, so that you cant image newer images onto older machines? Very confused as to why it makes you use Time Machine...
Thanks again,
Kyle R.

You are reading things into that error message that are simply not there.
Take the error message at face value.
When it calculates all the "stuff" it has to get onto your disk to do the installation, it does not fit. (including the .dmg, the Virtual Disk created to mount the dmg, and all the temporay files that are added before the new version takes over and discards the old stuff) all that stuff in total does not fit.)
Sure the final image fits, and sure you can restore that final image using other methods: Time machine works, and I'll bet Carbon Copy Cloner and Super Duper work as well.
Using the method you were using, the sum of all the temp files and all the program files do not fit. It is NOT a conspiracy.

I have an iMac, and have a Verizon DSL account. Recently, my Mac Mail keeps requesting the passwords on my account every few minutes, and will not allow me to send messages using Mac Mail. I cannot edit the outgoing server; how can I send emails?

I have an iMac, and have a Verizon DSL account (3 email addresses). Recently, my Mac Mail keeps requesting the passwords on my accounts every few minutes, and will not allow me to send messages using Mac Mail (the message says that the outgoing server was rejected. I cannot edit the outgoing server, and the keychain will not save my passwords (the ports are valid). How can I change the outgoing server to send emails, and how can I avoid having Mail request my passwords every 2 minutes? Verizon, as usual, will not provide support to iMacs.

Is there an email saved in your drafts or outbox folder? I suspect that Mail is continually trying to send it, and each time Google is rejecting the email message.
You can open the message and then delete it from your Outbox folder. Then try removing all @gmail email addresses from it and seeing whether you can send to the other folks. I suspect that will work.
With email, if an SMTP server *can* verify email addresses, sometimes it will and it will refuse to send messages. If a message has to be relayed across servers, no verification is done, and you'll get a bounce if an email address is bad.

HT3529 Will iMessage send messages to non Apple phones? If so, is it automatic or do I have to keep changing settings?

Will iMessage send messages to non Apple phones? If so, is it automatic or do I have to keep changing settings?

If the recipient does not have an iOS device (or Mac) with iMessage activated on it, then it will send as SMS or MMS as appropriate. You don't need to change any settings.
The only time you'll run into an issue is sending to someone who used to have an iDevice and neglected to turn off iMessage when they got something else. They will have to address that so that you don't have to forcibly send messages as SMS/MMS.

I have full signal and have wifi but I'm can't send messages or receive them. I can't make phone calls either.

HI
I have full signal and have wifi but I'm can't send messages or receive them. I can't make phone calls either. it picks and chooses when I can receive them and make calls. It only works everytime I turn my phone off.

Try turning on Airplane mode for a little bit (20-30 seconds) and turn it back off. see if that doesn't allow you to re-connect.
In my current project my office receives no signal at all. I have to do this almost every time I leave the office in order to get a signal.

Mac mail can receive but can't send messages

mac mail, can receive messages, but can't send messages. The sent symbol just spins around, but does not send.

I am using Mail 7.3, on OS X 10.9.4 (i.e. latest as of Aug 2014). I have 4 email accounts, all with their own SMTP servers. All stopped sending email at the same time.
Taking the hint from your suggestion, I looked in Mail > Preferences > Accounts, and all the SMTP servers were shown as offline (this must be a Mac Mail bug). All accounts appear to be Online under Mail > Mailbox (pulldown), and are also Online if one highlights the Inbox account, right click.
The trigger for the bug, in my case, was adding a new email account, and when Mail could not access it, it took everything offline. Removing that account did not solve the problem.
After spending hours trying all sorts of alternatives, I found the way to solve the problem was to delete all the outgoing mail servers, and reenter the information (the same information).
