    Hi,
    Is the App logging in the iMessages account ?
    Do you have any other accounts logged in ?

  • TS2755 Ever since I updated my phone to iOS 7 I cannot send or receive iMessages. How can I fix this

    I updated my iPhone 4 a few weeks ago to iOS 7. Ever since I did that I cannot send or receive iMessages. How can I fix this???

    Try powering the iPhone off and back on. If that doesn't help, go to Settings -> General -> Reset and reset the Network Settings. Reports are that one of those two steps have cured problems with iMessages for many people.

  • I cannot send or receive iMessages. Why?

    I am having trouble sending iMessages ! What is the issue?

    Mine isn't working either - I just bought my iPad 2 and I have no clue how to use the messenger (newbie) - I've tried to send one to a person I knew that had it and it won't click send - It seems to be simple enough but I haven't a clue as to why it won't let me send ( My button is clicked on - so not that issue) Any help would be appreciated - I've gone over each and every thing and at wits ends with it~

  • Cannot send/receive iMessages

    Hi guys.
    I have an iPhone 5s (AT&T) running iOS 7.1.1. Ever since I updated to 7.1, I've had issues with iMessage. At the time, iMessages would only send to certain people. The issue was bothering me, so I decided to restore my phone. The issue persisted. When 7.1.1 released, I'd restored my phone and upgraded. Note that I am not restoring from a backup, but setting it up as a new device every time. Only this time, I cannot send nor receive iMessages on my phone at all.
    I've tried disassociating my Apple ID and sending an iMessage. When I go to Settings > Messages > iMessage, it shows iMessage as enabled. There is no "activation error," as other users have experienced. When I use another iPhone to try and send a message to myself, even if iMessage is disabled on my end, it shows the blue Send text, meaning I'm running iMessage. I still receive iMessages on both my Macs.
    Since I still get internet on my phone, it leads me to believe this is a software issue.
    Since I've restored my phone multiple times, and the issue was present in multiple versions of iOS, it leads me to believe it is a hardware issue.
    Since I can't send iMessages even without an Apple ID associated with my phone, it leads me to believe it is an issue with AT&T.
    Since I can still send SMS/MMS messages, it leads me to believe it is an issue with Apple.
    As you can see, there are quite a few of contradictory thoughts I'm having.
    Any advice at all is appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Jacob

    Note that I have gone through the procedures listed at http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755.
    I have also followed a few techniques other users have found who've experienced other iMessage issues (ex. turning off iMessage, resetting network settings, rebooting.)

  • After updating to IOS7.0.3 I can't send or receive iMessages, After updating to IOS7.0.3 I can't send or receive iMessages

    I updated my phone yesterday to IOS7.0.3 and now I cannot send or receive iMessages. My phone is also now very slow at responding. It's annoying because I red that they created this update to solve the same problem that people had when they updated the last time. But my phone was fine before yesterday,extremely frustrating.

    Update to the current version of iOS.
    Ensure that your iMessage is set to receive messages at your phone number or whatever address it was previously set to.
    Also, ensure your iMessage is actually activated.  My partner had a similar issue earlier this week where iMessage unexplainably disabled itself and then when re-activating it did not actually reactivate.  Once the device was switched to a working data connection (other Internet connectivity issues were occurring at the time) iMessage activated fine.

  • 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?

  • HT201349 I have my iPad and iPhone set up as described but I cannot send or receive SMS texts on my iPad only imessages.

    I have my iPad and iPhone set up for messaging and facetime, but I cannot receive or send SMS texts with the iPad even when the iPhone is on. I can receive imessages. Is there something I am missing?

    Hello tonys4004,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you'd like to set up your iOS devices for SMS using Continuity, please see the information outlined below.
    SMS
    With Continuity, all the SMS and MMS text messages you send and receive on your iPhone also appear on your Mac, iPad, and iPod touch. Even if the person you’re communicating with doesn’t have an iPhone. And regardless of what phone they have, you can reply from whichever device is closest to you, including your iPad or Mac. You can also initiate a  conversation by clicking a phone number in Safari, Contacts, or Calendar.
    To use Continuity for SMS and MMS with your iPhone and your Mac, iPad or iPod touch
    Your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch need to use iOS 8.1, and your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
    Sign in to iMessage on your iPhone, your other iOS devices, and your Mac using the same Apple ID.
    On your iPhone:
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address.
    Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
    Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature.
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
    Take care,
    Alex H.

  • Cannot receive iMessages on iPhone

    I have an iPhone with iOS 8.1.2 and a MacBook Pro (OSX Yosemite). My problem is the following: I cannot receive iMessages on my iPhone. However, if I send iMessages from my iPhone or Mac, they are received normally and I do receive iMessages on my Mac. The behaviour for text messages (SMS) is normal. Moreover, when somebody (including myself) sends me iMessages, I can see the three dots that appear when somebody is typing long after they stop typing and for a longer period of time.
    In order to fix my issues I tried the following:
    deactivate and reactivate iMessages
    deactivate text forwarding to my MacBook
    restarted iPhone
    reset network settings on my iPhone
    reset all settings on my iPhone
    delete conversations and users
    removed and re-added Send & Receive addresses
    Erase all content and settings
    Out of these options only the last worked but only as long as I didn't restore the backup. As soon as I restored the last backup, the problem came back. I cannot figure out whether this is an issue with my iMessage setting on the iPhone, iCloud settings or something else.
    Does anyone know how I can fix this problem and have my content & settings back?

    My problem was suddenly fixed with no action on my behalf.

    Hi,
    Do you mean you are not getting SMS text messages now ?
    If so start here
    Follow the Account management options until you are offered and email contact.
    Explain the issue via email as only someone in Support can now remove your iPhone Number from iMessages if it has not "de-registered" itself correctly.

  • Cannot receive iMessages on iPad

    I cannot receive messages sent to my iPhone on my iPad.  I have both of them signed into my Apple ID and can easily receive iMessages on the iPhone.  With messaging on the iPad I can neither send or receive messages.  It should be noted that my iPad is from the US and I'm using it on wifi in Denmark....if this affects anything.  Any advice on how to make this work?

    Did you turn off messages on your iPhone AND your iPad and then start all over again, turning on messages on the iPhone first? That's usually how the phone number becomes accessible in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at ....
