Cannot send or receive contact requests

[Topic title edited by Aimi]
I'm sure there alrady is a topic for this as I see Internet full of complaints about the same issue (without no decent solution!) but here is once again my version...
I have an old Scype account which I haven't used before. Yesterday I set up the Skype desktop client (Win 8.0), the latest version if it (checked and no newer updates available), and linked my existing Skype account with my Microsoft account. Had no connections at that time and since that (during today and yesterday) I've made 3 contact requests but not one of them can see my requests!! So, we tried it viceversa: they sent me the request - same result: I cannot see any of the requests!! I have checked the settings (one solution for exmple suggested that I should allow IMs from anyone - I did - no help). I also tried the app for mobile. Same result. Also tried to uninstall/re-install the Skype client. No help.
I don't need instructions how to search/add contacts - I know how to do that, the contacts requests just don't go through!! Help needed. Annoyed.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

So I have windows 8.1 and using the latest desktop version of Skype. When I tell someone to add my Skype , I never get a notification or an option to add them. It has been happening to pretty much anyone who wants to add me. I also made sure in the notifications tab that contact request was checked. I can add other people fine its just hard to get in contact with them and asking for their Skype username so its more convenient giving them my Skype username. Anyone could please help me. Thanks!

What system is your mail in? Corporate Exchange? GMAIL?

I dropped my Iphone 5 which resulted in it shattering and the screen was still on but it was black with only a white line through it so I couldnt access the phone however I switched over to my Droid and now I cannot send or receive messages?

Help?

Then the bottom of the support document states that if you do not have access to the device (which unfortunately because of the screen issue you do not) to contact Apple Care. That is what you need to do.

Cannot send or receive text -1 message

Has anyone else received this message? I cannot send or receive text messages! Help!

Here's what I figured out. My last iTunes backup was in some way corrupted. I had my carrier back up my contacts on an additional SIM card. I then reset up phone to factory setting with the original sim card in the phone. Once rest, I took out the sim card and replaced with my contacts sim card and imported contacts. Once uploaded, I then switched back to the original sim card. From there I plugged into iTunes and treated my phone as a new phone. I was then able to add in all my apps, music, etc. Lost all my settings, but I can now text without any issues.

Cannot send or receive messages

Cannot send or receive text messages, youtube and safari on Iphone5. Have rebooted several times and followed the trouble shoots at Apple website nothing seem to be working. Any suggestion is greatly appreciated. Thank you

The receipt of text (SMS) messages on the phone is a carrier function. However the use of youtube and Safari are functions that depend on data. Are you connected via wifi or cellular data when you have this problem? If cellular, it is possible you have an issue with your carrier plan. If this is the case, check to make sure you have cellular data turned on, and test the Internet again. You might contact the carrier to make sure your account is provisioned for data and also for SMS.

What email account are you having an issue with?
Try removing the account you are having an issue with and then re-add the account via settings > mail, contacts and calendars.
A lot of times this fixes the problem with sending and receiving mail.

Hope the above helps.

Have you tried contacting Vodafone to make sure MMS messaging is enabled on your account?

Nokia E71 Cannot send or receive MMS

Help.
I cannot send or receive MMS on my Nokia E71.

You have to contact your mobile operator since they have the configuration data (which is operator specific).
Maybe if you let us know what your operator is (with the country) somebody might be able to help you.
By clicking the "Kudos!" or the "Solution?" button on the right you can say "Thank You" and you´ll show the author and others that the post is useful.

My iPhone5 cannot send and receive SMS using latest iOs. How can this problem be solved?

my iPhone5 cannot send and receive SMS after I updated it to iOs 6.0.2. It used to be able to function normally when it was still using iOs 6.0.1.

Since SMS/MMS is exchanged via your carrier's cellular network only, contact your carrier.

Hello Sue,
I have an iPad 3, iPad Mini and iPhone 5S and they are all sluggish on capitalisation using shift keys. I hope that Apple will solve the problem because it is driving me crazy.
I find using a Microsoft Surface and Windows 8 phone, which I also have, work as well as all the ios devices before the ios 7 upgrade.
It has something to do with the length of time that you need to hold the shift key down. The shift key needs to be held longer than the letter key for the capitalisation to work. For some reason, this is a major change in the way we have learnt to touch type on computers. I am having to relearn how to type!

Cannot send nor receive email on new iMac; migrated settings from MacBook

I just recently bought a new aluminum iMac. I migrated files & settings, including Mail settings from my MacBook to the iMac. Despite the copied settings, I cannot send nor receive messages on the new iMac. I have always been able to send & receive e-mail on my MacBook, so I would think the same settings should work on the iMac.
I have tried Connection Doctor, and I am getting successful connections on both the POP Account and SMTP server.
I have compared settings between the MacBook & iMac, and they are the same. My MacBook uses Tiger and doesn't have the option of default & custom ports. It is set to port 25. I have tried custom ports of 25 & 587 on the new iMac as well as the default port option. None of those seem to work.
Is there something else that could be wrong or anything else I can try? Thanks ahead of time for any assistance.

This might work:

Not sure about yahoo, but for gmail, I done the following:
Set up using Exchange on iPhone, it'll keep prompting for password. On PC use captcha option, log in to gmail account from PC after completingg captcha option, enter password on iPhone.
See how that goes for gmail, let us know.
Hopefully someone will have fix for yahoo.

I cannot send or receive SMS text messages and my number is not showing up in the 'Recieve At' location..how do I fix this?

I just bought and activated a new Iphone 4s and I cannot send or receive normal SMS text messages. Also, my number is not showing up in the "receive at" location. Any help??

Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
Beyond that... since you state you've tried all "recommended fixes" have you actually restored as new and not from your backup?

I cannot send or receive messages on iMessages since password reset.

I forgot the password to login to my Mac and had to reset it using my Apple-ID. Prompts then came up asking me to put in my icloud/facetime etc passwords. I had to figure out my old password in order to login to the Apple keychain or something to be able to automatically login to the Wifi and such. I did manage to recover my password and everything seems to work fine now except iMessages though, which I didn't realize until someone sent me an iMessage that I never got and I noticed that I also couldn't send any messages back even though I was connected to the internet. I tried logging out of iMessages and back in, but that only made things worse as I couldn't even log back in and had to change my Apple-ID password to log back in (because putting in my Apple-ID for the iMessages password in the prompt that came up after I put in my Apple-ID password didn't work). Now I am logged back in but still cannot send or receive messages.

I have restarted and now I realize that I am still having the issue with not being able to access the keychain "login", so I get 3 options, to either continue, create a new keychain or update the keychain password. According to some Apple page I found the password for the login keychain should be the old password (which I forgot). Even though I recovered this password, this doesn't work. I also tried my original Mac password, and my Apple-ID password. I don't know what else it could be. Should I just make a new login keychain at this point?

After TB 31.5.0 cannot send or receive gmail. Spinning status wheel. Server timeout.

Updated to 31.5.0 and now cannot send or receive gmail from my desktop. Message is that the server timed out and there is a spinning status wheel. Windows 8.1. Tried reinstalling, rebooting, running TB in safe mode, turning off Win firewall, disabling Avast system security, compacting folders. I can get/send mail at the gmail website and on my iPhone so the problem appears to be specific to Thunderbird 31.5.0 My laptop has an older version of TB and it does not have the problem. Luckily I was able to shut it down before TB 31.5.0 could automatically download.

To diagnose problems with Thunderbird, try the following:
Restart the operating system in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_mode safe mode with Networking]'''. This loads only the very basics needed to start your computer while enabling an Internet connection. Click on your operating system for instructions on how to start in safe mode: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode Windows 8], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows 7], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-vista Windows Vista], [http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx?mfr=true" Windows XP], [http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564 OSX]
; If safe mode for the operating system fixes the issue, there's other software in your computer that's causing problems. Possibilities include but not limited to: AV scanning, virus/malware, background downloads such as program updates.
