Can't send messages to husband (he no longer has an iPhone)

My husband used to have an iPhone, but recently switched to a Droid. Unfortunately, my phone seems to be convinced that he still has an iPhone and it will appear that he received my messages, but he never gets them. If I switch to SMS, I can send him messages, but then other people have issues sending them to me. Is there a way to tell my phone that he no longer has an iPhone? I have changed the contact info for that phone number to say that the number is a mobile number, not an iPhone.
Thanks!

Have you tried deleting him as a contact and deleting your chat history on iMessage then re-adding him and trying to text him? If you see the messages are being sent in blue, this means that it is being sent as an iMessage. You need to turn off your WiFi or 3G/LTE and it will send as a text (Only iOS devices can receive iMessages) Hope this helps.

I can't send messages or receive them without wifi to other iPhone users,

I can't send or receive a message with using wifi from iPhone users, what do I do?

Right, that's how iMessage works. Are you indicating that you cannot send SMS or MMS messages to other iPhone users over your cellular connection? Can you send them to other contacts (non-iPhone contacts)?

How do I stop sending iMessages to someone who no longer has an iPhone?

My friend and I both had iPhones, but she recently upgraded. Now when I text her, I have to turn iMessage off or the message would go to her old phone and not her new one. I want to be able to iMessage everyone else without having to switch it on and off. What can I do to change this?

If your friend no longer uses her old iPhone have her:
Go to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
Log in if not already logged in.
Click on "edit products"
Click on the "x" to the right of the product.
Click "unregister"
This shoule deactivate her old iPhone with iMessage.

I can send messages to one of my contacts on my iPhone but not on my iPad. Why?

I can send messages to one of my contacts on my iPhone but not on my iPad. Why?

Does the contact you are sending the message to use an iPhone?
The iPhone will send and receive both iMessages and Text messages (SMS).
The iPad will only send and receive iMessages.
iPads cannot receive SMS text messages.

Can't send message on AT&T - won't connect to server. Anyone else having this issue?

All of a sudden I can't send messages on my AT&T account. I get a message that Thunderbird cannot connect to server (STMP). Called AT&T and they verified all the settings; I can access my email account on Apple Mail and through Yahoo (AT&T's email provider) yet I cannot send messages on Thunderbird. I can receive but not send.
I did try deleting the account and re-establishing it however that did not help. Anybody else have this issue?

I can't send messages or call people with my NEW iPhone 4s.

Hello.
I live in Sweden and I ordered my iPhone 4s some days ago, I got it on Wednesday.
Ever since I got it I noticed that I was having problems with my carrier, "Tele2". I can't send messages or even make calls, and I'm very disappointed. And I also can't connect to the 3G network at times, it just goes away, and this always leads to a reboot.
I have to restart my phone every 5 minutes, and THEN I can send about 1-2 messages, then it goes back to what it was before. Crap.
And I also called the people on "Tele2" they said that they don't know if it's the software or if it's the hardware. And that I simply have to wait until they know.
I'm just wondering. Is there anyone out there who's heard anything about solving any problems like these? Perhaps and update to 5.0.1 ? Please let me know, I would appreciate it very much!

They said that it wasn't them, they contacted Apple and they were aware of the problem. But still Apple didn't know if it was hardware of software problems.

Can I send message in byte format

hello
Why no one is answering me
but still I want to know that Can I send message in byte format to inbox
message.setContent(byte [] b, "text/plain");
And Can I receive mail in byte format from inbox.
String dis = new String((String)messagePart.getContent());
plz resolve my problem

Obviously you have a very skewed view of the world
based on what you want to do. The most common thing
people want to do with email is not send raw binary data.
The most common thing people want to do is send text to be
read by a human.
Nonetheless, it's very easy to send binary data. Again, the
most common case is sending text. The thing that's important
with text is that it appear as the same text at the other end.
That's easy. But if you have text where every CR, LF, and
space has to appear absolutely unchanged at the other end,
that requires a bit of extra work.
The demo program sendfile.java that comes with JavaMail
shows how to send a file as an attachment. That's the core
of the program. Here's the 6 lines of code you need to add
to that program to do what you want:
------- sendfile.java -------
100c100,104
< FileDataSource fds = new FileDataSource(filename);
FileDataSource fds = new FileDataSource(filename) {
public String getContentType() {
return "application/octet-stream";
};113a118,119
msg.saveChanges();
mbp2.setHeader("Content-Transfer-Encoding", "base64");Is that so hard?
If you don't want to send the file as an attachment, but rather as the one
and only body of the message, it's even easier. Let me know if I need
to write that program for you as well.
And if you already have the data in memory in a byte array, that's even
easier still.

Can't send messages using third-party keyboards

Hello all - I'm using Skype for iPad on iOS 8.1.. I've decided to install Swiftkey keyboard and since I've done that, I've noticed that I can't send messages. After writing them down, "send" button doesn't show up, until I switch back to default iOS keyboard.
Have you seen this issue?
Thanks,
Daniel.

I have the same problem with SwiftKey and skype on ipad. I'm able to send messages doing a trick but it's a bit annoying. You can tap on the text field so the keyboard comes out, flip the ipad between vertical and horizontal, tap anywhere so the keyboard disappears and then tap again on the text field. The send button will show up.
Not ideal at all but at least you'll be able to send messages until the issue is resolved

I have problem with my contacts. I can't send message if the contact didn't send me a message before. How can I add new address?

Hi tizac,
You will want to add them to your Contacts.
There's a "+" button at the bottom of the contact list on the left to add a contact.
If you need to add the email address or phone number to an existing contact, there's an Edit button at the bottom of the contact info (on the right).
Once you have the contact email address or phone number you want to message to, scroll all the way down to the bottom of their information and there are options to:
Send Message               FaceTime
Share Contact             Add to Favorites
Of course choose "Send Message" to send an iMessage to them and you will start a new chat. You will be given the options of how to contact them, via phone number (if they are on an iPhone) or email (if they are on an iPod touch or iPad).   They do need to be signed up for iMessage or it won't allow you to send.

I can't send messages with mail 6.0 of mountain lion, because I can't desactivate the option SSL (Secure sockets Layers); it is locked

Hi, i am having the same problem. this is what i have noticed.
I have 2 x imac's and 2 x macbook air's
i upgraded the 2 macbook air's and 1 of the imac's to Mountain Lion, all these have problems acessing sites that require you to login .
the one remaining imac is still running lion and works perfect.
i am using a dlink router with DD-WRT firmware, i tested teathering from my iphone and i can log into websites fine using the newly upgraded mac's.
It's not a wireless issue as my imac is using an ethernet connection.
is there a compatibility issue with some routers.

On my daughters iPad mini she can not send messages. She can receive them but the send button stays light gray after you type a message. It worked when we first set it up but now it does not. Tried resetting and logging out and back in. With no change.

I can not send messages on an iPad mini the send button stays light gray and will not send. I can receive. I reset and logged out and back inn with no results. It worked fine when we first set it up. Any suggestions?

Hello iMessage issues 1234,
Thank you for the details of the issue your daughter is experiencing with sending messages on the iPad. It sounds like you might have the Subject Field turned on. To disable this go to Settings > Messages > Show Subject Field.
iPhone User Guide - Messages settings
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iphf2d853e3
If the Subject Field is not enabled but messages are still not sending, I recommend continuing with the following article:
