Cannot get text messages

I can get text messages on my iPad and MacBook Air but cannot get them on my iPhone 6. Any suggestions?

Thank you for reaching out to us, kamckenna! We're here to help out with your phone, and help figure out what is going on with your texts. Regarding the messages, are the message you are receiving through your tablet and Macbook all standard SMS and iMessages, or just iMessages? Are all the messages affected on your phone, or do you receive iMessages or text messages through your cell phone?

HT3529 i cannot get text message via voice on my ford touch console after uploading the latest ios7 upgrade.

i cannot get text message via voice on my ford touch console after uploading the latest ios7 upgrade. Is this an issue with the upgrade or is there a setting on the phone that needs to be fixed?

I don't know how you received an upgrade for iTunes. You make it sound like it was sent to you. At most your computer will tell you of a new version and you tell it to download it and install it. However, a computer will not do this for a version which is incompatible. iTunes 10.7 came out a few weeks ago but your computer would not notify you and even if it did, 10.7 would refuse to install on your computer. So this part isn't making a lot of sense.
Two ways to get the 'newer version' message. One is to open your library on a computer running a newer version, and then try to open it with an older version. Usually happens when the library is on an external and used with multiple computers. The second way is if you have multiple versions of itunes installed on your computer.
The newest (and likely the last) iTunes for OSX 10.5.8 is iTunes 10.6.3 which has been out for quite a while.

Not with your current user id.
Far too much uneccesary information in your post, which only confuses things, a vast amount!
Let's start with iTunes.
Have you updated iTunes to 11.1.5, because the previous version did appear to have an issue about seeing iPods?
With iTunes 11.1.5 installed, look in Edit/Preferences/Devices, (or use the ALT key, followed by the E key and then the F key) and make sure that the box named Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically does not have a tick in the box.
Once you have doen those two things, check to see if the iPod is seen by iTunes.

By the way, what does IOS mean? (I thought IO stood for operating system, but am flummoxed by the S on the end.
Really?
OS stands for Operating System. (In computer speak, IO means Input/Output.)
iOS originally stood for iPhone Operating System, but it now refers to the iPod Touch and iPhone. The iPod Classic, which you have listed in your profile as your iPod, does not use iOS.
I assume that you have been listening to the Podcast in your iTunes on the computer as you cannot transfer it to your iPod. It's what I'd do.

I just purchased a note 3. Everything works well except I cannot send text messages. I can receive them, but I get an error message when I try to send them

Can anyone tell me why I cannot send text messages on my note 3? I can receive them, but when I attempt to send them I get an error message unable to send . . . It's a brand new phone.

Congratulations on your new phone, Nonaleigh.
We would love to get to the bottom of your message mystery.
I'm guessing you are getting the error for all messages you attempt to send, is that correct?
What type of phone did you upgrade from? We ask because if you have switched from an Apple device (e.g., iPhone) to a non-Apple device (e.g., Android, Blackberry, etc.) and previously used the iMessage service, you may experience issues sending/receiving SMS/MMS messages with Apple device users. You need to deactivate the iMessage service within your Apple account to restore normal SMS/MMS functionality.

I am getting text messages from a "textfree" number that cannot be identified

I am getting text messages from a "textfree" number that cannot be identified. The text messages are threatening and I am trying to match the unknown number to a person. How can I do that?

Hello uncl@home,
Thanks for reaching out to us for assistance with unwanted texts on your device. After all, we're always here to help when you need us. I wanted to touch bases with you to see if the issue has been resolved. Just curious, are you getting unwanted texts from a 10-digit number? If so then you can have the texts blocked at www.vzw.com/spamcontrols. For all other unwanted texts, forwarding them to 7726 is the method to have them addressed. Let me know, just in case more options are needed.
Thank you...

Getting text messages to show up on all apple devices

Anyone have any solutions? I have an iphone 5 (ios 7.1.1) iPad air (same) Macbook Pro (osx 10.9.3). I am watching the WWC from Apple, and "Continuity" is going to solve this problem. But, in the mean time is there any ways to get text messages to show up on multiple devices.

yes, on each device go to
settings>Messages>Send&Receive and select appropriately.
Remember that this only appliesx to messages from the messages app, you cannot sync sms/mms messages received on an iphone.

Cannot receive text messages and visual voicemail isn't working

Ok so I've searched but cannot find anything on my first problem. I cannot recieve text messages from people through normal SMS but rather only through iMessage. I keep getting a message saying my sms inbox is full and that I need to delete some messages first. I only get the messages after turning my phone off and then turning it back on. Any ideas on how to fix this or if there are any solutions online somewhere that I missed.
Also, the second thing is my visual voicemail isn't working anymore and now it's acting like an old voicemail where I have to call and listen to messages. Any ideas on that issue?
Any help is greatly appreciated and sorry in advance if either of these questions were asked and I was to blind to see them. Thanks

I have turned phone off and on a few times, but nothing changes.
Turning it off and on a few times will do nothing. What you need to do is remove your battery while your phone is powered on then replace it a few seconds after that. Your phone MUST be powered on when you remove the battery.
Cheers.

Cannot send text messages

HI
Starting 10 days ago, I cannot send text messages. i can still receive text messages.
I tested my phone with a colleague who has an iphone. He receives a record that I am texting him but the message is null. I also texted a family member on her Android phone and she gets nothing.
Here's what I have done:
1. I did a hard reset twice. I removed the battery and even the SIM card in the process.
2. Soft reset once using the Alt, **bleep**, Del key.
3. Checked if my BB had the latest sotfware. It did It currently has OS 6 with bundle 2647.
4. Wind Mobile Canada has reset my PIN
5. I re-registered my phone as guided by the Wind Mobile tech support. I got an email from BB saying "Your handheld has been registered with the wireless network".
What else could I try?
Thanks

Click on TEXT MESSAGES icon.
Go to BB Menu and Click OPTIONS
Sroll down to "Data Coding"
Choose "7 bit"

Cannot receive text messages after switch from iphone

After more than 2 years on an Android, my family convinced me to try an iPhone. After one week, I decided to return my iPhone and go back to Android. Now I cannot receive text messages from anyone using an iPhone. It thinks I'm still using iMessage.
I have already talked with Verizon customer service and unregistered my number from both Messages and FaceTime via my computer. Please help! This is extremely frustrating!

Appreciate the update plurrykid,
Knowing you are starting to receive them is good, but certainly we want you to receive all of them, not just random ones. I know it’s important to get them up and running as soon as possible. It will usually take Apple 24-48 hours to un-register you completely; if it has not been fully done, what you can try is resetting your Apple ID password here http://bit.ly/1kwc2va . Since you will be changing your password and the original device which still has iMessages on, will not be aware of the new password for them, it will revert to text messages. Let us know how it goes.

I cannot receive text messages and cannot use FaceTime since ios7 upgrade

I upgraded to iOS 7 and since I cannot receive text messages or use face time. I have tried to reboot several times and when I try to sign in I keep getting a message to check my network settings. I can receive emails and the phone works.

After going to the Apple Store I found out this a known issue and al I can do is refresh the phone and reinstall my apps or wait till Apple releases another version.

So I update from an old DroidX to a Iphone 5 and now I cannot get texts on my 2012 Ford Edge My Touch Sync. I thought I was upgrading

So I update from an old DroidX to a Iphone 5 and now I cannot get texts on my 2012 Ford Edge My Touch Sync. I thought I was upgrading? Before my text messages would come in and I could have them read to me as I was driving. I can voice text messages as I am driving with Siri but now I do not receive responses. Is there a way around this?

Have you consulted the documentation for your car's system to see if it is compatible with the iPhone?

Since the last update for my Iphone 4s i dont get text messages when connected to wifi. my wife is getting them. Imessage is switched off on both phones.

since the 6. version update. of my Iphone 4s My wife was getting my text messages. I found the problem was caused by Imessage when connected to Wifi. I deactivated Imessage on both phones to solve the problem. I now have updated my Iphone to 6.1.1 and i dont get text messages anymore. I have Imessage deactivated on my phone but my wife is getting my text messages again. my wifes phone was not updated to 6.1.1 because the last update lost all her contacts from her phone and we had to but them back in one by one from the outlook list. Her contact are listed in outlook on a seperate list to mine but we can only get my contacts download to her phone. We use the same laptop to sysc phones.
My Iphone does not download photos to My Pictures anymore. I have to copy them across to a folder. I cant find where it backs them up to.
I have lost all confidence in Apple now as i was forced to update to 6.1.1 because of 3G reception issues and not reciving calls and now back to spending several hours trying to fix my phone to recieve a basic text message.

Are you and your wife sharing apple id?
If you are that is the reason why she is seeing your imessage.
On both phone go to settings - message - send&receive - make sure the cell is the default.
You will have to uncheck or remove the apple id.

I have an Ipad mini and an iphone 4. Can i get text messages on both at the same time?
