Cannot send imessage to my wife since she updated to iOS7

I updated iOS7 yesterday on my iphone. Then my wife updated to iOS7 this morning on her iphone. Since she updated it will not allow us to send imessages. We share an itunes account, but that was never a problem before. When I tried to send as imessages it would come up as "not delivered". Now it sends everything between the two of us as text messages. But we can both send imessages to all the other iphone users on our contact lists.

On at least one of the phones, go to Settings/ Messages/ Send & Receive and then tap the e-mail address to turn that option off.  That should force the iMessage to be sent to the unique phone numbers of the phones, not the e-mail address that is common between the phones.
Or alternatively, create a new e-mail address for one of you and select that as the e-mail option to receive at on one of the phones instead of the shared e-mail.

    Even my iphone 4S still has the same problem since I upgraded to ios 6
    Any help?
    Thanks in advance!

    In order to send messages via iMessage you need at least good WiFI or cellular connection. (2 of 3 WiFi bars; 2-3 of 5 cellular access bars).

  • Cannot send pictures via text message since software update...HELP!!!!

    Although I am a BIG FAN of BB Torch (have had several), BUT since it was discontinued, I had no choice but to "up grade" to BB Z10...IT was working just fine...NOT as good as the Torch though, but I was getting use to it...TILL the new software came along last week (Tuesday), so after doing just that, up dating my phone, I saw that I was NOT able to send or receive pictures via text message. I did called ATT, deleted everything, resintalled my data/information...and STILL nothing.
    I "google" the problem, and was sooooo SAD to find out that I was NOT the only one, and that THIS problem is AN OLD ONE (2013), but BB has done nothing to fix it.
    I did read on of the technical support answers and followed every single step, but STILL NOTHING, NADA...no able to send neither receive pictures...PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!

    Well, interesting... glad it worked out.

  • IMessage Problem: cannot send iMessage to a specific contact!

    So here is the problem:
    It's about 24 hours I cannot send iMessage to a specific contact only! Both of us have access to the internet and both of us can send iMessages to other contacts.
    We have tried rebooting the phone, and turning iMessage on and off.
    If it matters, we both live in Sweden and use different MNOs but still we are both on Wifi and cannot send and receive iMessages.
    Could anyone give me and idea of what to do?!
    Oh..and Apple...your iMessage is reaaaaaaally bougus.. do something about this pile of crap.

    I had this problem with my sister living in Austria and I am in the States and at first I wondered if it was some international problem.
    Are you sure you both have your apple ID's programmed into your contacts? For some reason it wasn't registering my sister's phone number as an iPhone but when I added her apple ID e-mail, it sends fine. I just have to iMessage her to THAT particular e-mail. That's the only way I was able to sort this same problem. iMessaging her to that e-mail works just fine.
    I've iMessaged people in the states before just using their phone number only and not having their apple ID e-mail but with messaging to my sister in Austria, I have to use her e-mail. Wondering if anyone else has this issue with international iMessaging? I've iMessaged someone in Australia before with just their phone number and it worked fine so maybe it's completely random? I don't know. But definitely check and see if you have their apple ID in there in their contact information and try to iMessage them on that. See if it works! It did for me.

    I have a 80gb ipod classic and i cannot get it to sync anymore since I updated my itunes. Does anyone have any suggestions on what i should do?

    Does the device show up in Windows Explorer when connected?
    Have you tried going into Control Panel > Programs & Features > iTunes > Repair?
    Have you proved the cable with a different device, or the device's connectivity with a different computer?

  • Since downloading iOS6 I cannot send iMessages

    Since I have downloaded the new iso6, my iPad will not send iMessages. It also does not immediately receive iMessages from others. I receive them from others hours after they are sent.

    ios6 changed the way imessages are routed. do you have a mac running mountain lion/messages on your mac?
    do you have an iphone?
    Thanks.
    --Sam
    P.S If mac, post OS version. It changed it so your phone number was the identifier.

  • TS2755 Since the update, I cannot send imessages

    Sending imessages just hang, receiving imessages is spotty. regular messaging works fine.
