CANNOT RECEIVE MESSAGES AFTER UPDATE iOS5

this is soo frustrating....any help will be much appreciated!!!!

OK, I've discussed this problem extensively with my brother who is somewhat of a Mac expert (30 years in his Mac based recording studio). He thinks there might be a link between the Quicktime update and the mail problem, since mail uses quicktime (quicktime messages open right in the mail window).
I wasted a whole day on this yesterday and even reinstalled Tiger from my original disk, then did the updates. Tried mail, same problem. Something in my mail on that ONE computer is telling my server to reject my outgoing mail attempts. Finding someone in Roadrunner (my isp) tech who knows anything about Macs is virtually impossible.
I'm on my eMac at home right now. We moved to the country last March and I have not done any of the updates since then because dial up won't stay connected long enough for Apple's HUGE update files. Guess what.... no problems with my mail (or anything else) on this Mac.
Today I will start over by reinstalling my original Tiger, then go through the painfully slow process of downloading and installing the system updates UP TO the one that came out last week. I guess I could buy some Apple tech support and try to solve the problem THEY created! I'm trying to run a freakin' business here... I really don't have time for this! Thanks a lot Apple!

  • HT1430 What to do if the message shows "cannot activate iphone" after updating ios5?

    After updating to ios5, got the message "no sim card".   I turn off and restart, then reset language, country or region, connect to itune, "cannot activate iphone"  I dont know what's going on?

    There are several possibilites:
    Your security software (antivirus and firewall) is preventing iTunes from communicating with Apple's Activation server, gs.apple.com.
    You have a redirect in your hosts file for gs.apple.com. Open the hosts file and delete any lines that contain gs.apple.com. For the location of the hosts file, on a Mac it's /etc/hosts, on Windows it's c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts.
    Your phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it from the carrier it was locked to, and updating it the phone became locked to the original carrier. For this there is no solution that can be discussed in an Apple forum.

  • Experiencing issues sending/receiving MMS messages after updating to iOS 6

    I, like so many others, have been experiencing problems sending/receiving MMS messages after updating to iOS 6.  Other than that, I really do like the new update.  I have an iPhone 4S with Verizon.  I have been to Verizon, and the issue is not with my plan; it is definitely with the update.  My friend updated her phone also, but her phone is just the iPhone 4.  She does not experience these issues.  Is Apple aware and trying to fix the problem?  It is soooo frustrating!  I cannot send/receive picture messages, nor can I send/receive group messages.  ---  Has anyone come up with a solution to fix it yet, or is it something that Apple will have to do? 
    Thanks in advance. 

    I also am having the same problem. I can't send a pic to anyone who doesn't have iMessage. Also, I don't always get the alert when I have a new message. I never had this problem before I updated to IOS 6. I have AT&T & an iphone4. It's isn't jail broken. I've been reading forums for a couple weeks now and apparently it has something to do with the apn. And I don't know how or even if I can change it. Then I also read it might have something to do with a damaged SIM card. And it might have been damaged when we updated. But those are just theories.

  • Unable to send or receive text messages after updating iOS to 7.0.2

    I am unable to send or receive text messages aftering updating to iOS 7.02. I have an iPhone 4S. I have run all the suggested troubleshooting still can't text. I have been to my carrier, AT&T, there is no issue with my account. AT&T suggested resetting the phone to factory defaults (thereby wiping it clean). I am trying to avoid that as I had issues with transferring data & contacts before. Any one have a work around?

    Try this iMessage workaround
    Look for a fix by Apple by the end of the week.....

    Is this a POP account, or an IMAP account? Did you enable your account type in Gmail?
    You can verify whether or not you did (and enable it if you didn't) by logging into Gmail on the web. Then, open the 'Forwarding and POP/IMAP' tab on your 'Settings' page, and configure IMAP. After enabling IMAP in Gmail, make sure you click 'Save Changes' so Gmail can communicate with your mail client.

    Ive lost all my Contacts and messages after updating to ios5 ??? Help
    How can I get them all Back ???

    Have had the same issue - and conflicts between PC, Ipad and Iphone.  Gained 6000 names and lost contacts or contact contents.  Have had to edit on PC.  Spoke with Apple Express and was advised to do editing only on PC and then sync.  Was also told not to use Icloud until problems had been solved.  Have spent last two weeks recreating my contacts list.
    Haven't yet bothered to reclaim my missing paid ring tones.

  • Mail stops receiving messages after a period of time

    Every since installing Mavericks my Mail app stops receiving messages after a period of time. I know because I get the email on my phone, but I try to grab them in Mail and nothing. If I restart Mail then they come through.
    I'm using Gmail as my email provider. Is anyone else suffering with this? Is there a work around?

    Workaround or not, this is an annoyance, and that's a nice way of putting it. Coming from Mountain Lion, when Mail was working flawlessly, having to deal with this issue is just plain ridiculous. What happened to the Mail application? I don't understand how Apple could screw this up to badly.
    Every time I restart or reset the connection to the servers, the Mail app is downloading thousands of messages (I can see the display on the bottom-left). I have no idea what it's doing or why, for that matter. If Apple doesn't fix this soon, I will seriously be forced to look for an alternative, which saddens me greatly. I really like Mail, but if it cannot reliably get my mail simply because I've left it open too long, or hidden it behind another window, I will stop using it.
    What's worse is that I've had similar issues with other applications like iPhoto and iTunes. Whatever is happening to Mail is probably not just application-specific. It's probably OS-specific. I hope Apple is working on it and that we will see a major update to Mavericks soon. All I know is that, right now, I'm seriously regretting upgrading to Mavericks.

    Temporarily disable your firewall and security software and see if that helps.

  • After updation IOS5...face using some of the apps in my iphone

    After updation IOS5...face using some of the apps in my iphone...sometimes apps clsed automatically...when try to double click home button...its hanged for several minute...sometimes phone got hanged....

    I'm going to answer myself this posting since I had a chat with one of the Apple support person and that person resolved my problem. Basically in iTunes I clicked on the iTunes Store and on the right side of the iTunes, it shows the "Quick Links", so I clicked there and I went to "Purchased" and I downloaded "All" my apps and that pretty much fixed my problem with the exception that, I had to manually download from my own phone some apps but once I had all my apps updated and my phone configured in the way I wanted, I performed another "sync" and no more error messages. I'm posting this in case someone else have the same problem.
