Causes for iMessage to stall

Imessages stalls when sending. This doesn't happen every time. I restored ipad, deleted email account, restablished account, reset ipad, etc.  then suddenly without any reason, imessages will work perfectly. I had absolutely no issues until updating to OS 6. I am using imessages only over wifi. Wifi works fine for all other apps.

  • How do I delete or change my number in my old iPhone, so that I can still use it for iMessages without issue?

    I have an iPhone 4S that was with Verizon. About a week ago I ported into Virgin Mobile and bought a new phone to use until the next iPhone comes out. I now still have my old iPhone, which I want to use for iMessages, as well as like an iPod, etc.
    The issue I am seeing is that my phone number is still registered to my iPhone and I haven't yet figured out how to delete it or change it. The problem this is causing is it is making my iPhone sometimes intercept messages from those with iMessage who are texting my phone number. The messages should be going to my new phone, not my iPhone, since they are texting my phone number (not my iMessage email) and my iPhone has no service connected to it.
    Here's an example of what I'm trying to say: the other day I texted a guy selling an item online. I used my new phone to text him, not my iPhone. He texted me right back, but the text went to my iPhone, not my new phone. We then texted each other via iMessage and no texts were making it to my new phone.
    I think this is also causing some messages to not go through on my new phone either, where I'm just simply not getting texts from people sending me messages. My iPhone isn't getting the messages, nor is my new phone.
    What I need to do is delete my number or put a random number in my phone so that I don't keep missing or losing texts. I saw the ways recommended to disconnect your number from iMessage, but that then kills my ability to use iMessage on my iPhone. There must be a way that the number in my iPhone can be changed or deleted. We are in 2013 I think, and this was something I always had the option of changing via manual programming on every phone I've had since 1902 or so.
    How to do this?!

    I also already deleted my phone number from iMessage on my MBP.

  • Awaiting for Activation for iMessage

    Hey there community, I am in a bit of trouble here with my new iPhone 4S. I bought the phone about a month ago from Verizon and everything worked perfectly fine. However I am currently on vacation in Europe where cell towers are not in range so I had to rely on iMessage (via wifi) to contact folks back home in America. I wanted to reset my settings so I did but after I did, my iMessage doesn't want to use my phone number as the send and receive number. Instead, it uses my email which I wouldn't like for it. I am currently in a group message on my phone and messaging them creates a new group message for everyone else. And while I can use my email for iMessage, in the settings it still says "Waiting for Activation". Any ways I can fix this?

    99.9% chance that since you have a Verizon phone which uses CDMA, and you're in Europe which does NOT use CDMA, this is the cause of your phone being unable to activate.
    I'm pretty sure I read a similar complaint as yours some time back - sorry I can't find the specfics but perhaps someone else can chime in to confirm this.

  • I just downloaded IOS 5 on to my IPHONE 4. When i text people that also have Iphones for Imessage my name is my email. anyone know how to change it?

    You have an Apple ID signed in to all the devices which is causing this.
    "When you sign in to your Apple ID with iMessage using an iPhone with iOS 6, your Apple ID is linked to your phone number. This allows you to receive iMessages sent to your phone number on other iOS 6 devices signed in to the same Apple ID."
    To correct this, go into Settings > Messages > Send and Recieve at > See below...
    On your phone: Uncheck your son's phone number
    On his phone: Uncheck your phone number.
    On iPad: Uncheck both phone numbers to prevent iMessages sent to either number to also appear on the iPad.
    If you have email addresses associated here, then you may have to remove those as well, although you won't be able to remove the Apple ID that you're using. Any iMessage sent to that Apple ID will arrive at all the device unless you sign out of that Apple ID and create/use another Apple ID for that device.

  • We have multiple devices in our family.  On each iPad/iPhone each user has their own apple id for iMessage, Facetime and icloud, but we all sign in to the same apple id for itunes.  When one of my kids comments on my shared photostream, it shows my name??

    CREATE A NEW USER
    Go to System Preferences --> Create a New User in Users & Groups
    Decide on whether to setup as Admin or Standard User.
    Switch to the New User by logging out under the Apple in the Menu Bar or use Fast User Switching
    Fast User Switching allows other users to leave current applications and windows open. Depending on RAM, you might need to log out rather than use FUS.

  • Root cause for delivery to show up on LX47 transaction

    All,
    I am new to SAP and supporting an off site warehouse location.  I'm trying to research and locate the root cause for why a delivery shows up on LX47.
    The situation the warehouse is experiencing is that they are having to run the LX47 transaction multiple times a day to correct delivery issues.
    I know from my initial research that deliveries show up on LX47 due to the OB Delivery being blocked, and that this is caused by the OB delivery and related Transfer Orders do not match in the system.
    What I'm trying to figure out is, from an Operations standpoint, what is causing the OB Delivery and the TO's not to match?
    Is there only 1 reason?  Are there 100?  This is what I'm trying to understand.
    The only thing I have found thus far is that 2 people/transactions are in the delivery at the time of the update.  Is this accurate?

    Hi Nicholas,
    I am sure you are very much aware about the process flow however i just want to narrate again, if the plant and storage location is WM managed then you generally create a transfer order with reference to the delivery document to perform the picking process now at the time of confirmation of the transfer order you can update the Delivery immediately (Standard SAP) or you can set the indicator to delay the delivery update(Check the below mentioned screen and IMG path).if you choose to delay the delivery update those delivery will appear in the LX47 and you have the provision to manually update  the Delivery from there. (Apart from the above mentioned there are some instance where after confirmation of the transfer order and in between updating the delivery either material master / Batch master / or some other relevant parameter is in edit mode or locked which cause failure to update the delivery immediately and you will find those delivery will also appear in the LX47)
    Hope this will help to get some idea about LX47 and reason for delivery whose appear in the LX47

  • How can I associate 2 appleids with one account or use a different Appleid for imessage as described in another post?

    How can I associate 2 appleids with one account or use a different Appleid for imessage as described in another post?
    I have rejoined the iPhone community, not with one iPhone but with two. My wife agreed to move from the unenlightened!
    I have set up both under my apple account and want to keep it that way. But I do not want iMessages going to both phones. I would like separate message queues but share all apps and other purches from the store.
    I have created a separate AppleID for her but under Settings>Message>Receive At (it currently says 2 addresses) > ... will not allow me to change the current eMail address and when I add hers (her appleid) it errors out. The only thing I can do in the Apple ID field is to manage my account and not change it to hers.
    How can I have 2 iPhones (and my iPad) on the same account but have separate identies?
    Thanks,
    LpGrumpy

    1. Yes. Restart with the Option key held down as needed.
    2. No, it won't be a problem.

  • My wife and I share an iCloud account for photo library and iCloud drive mainly for our family photo management, but we use different accounts for iMessage/facetime/calendar/etc. With Yosemite, I can't use continuity/handoff without dumping the photo

  • I have multiple phones on the same itunes account but now we can see everyones imessages.  Can I create a new account for imessaging?

    I have multiple phones that share an apple ID for music.  The problem is that when we use imessaging we see eachothers messages.  Can I create a separate account solely for imessaging so private messages can be sent but keep the same itunes account and continue sharing music?

    Yes. 

  • HT5622 Can I use the same apple ID for imessage on my Mac and iPad?

    Today I attempted to send and iMessage from my iPad. The message began to send but the loading bar stopped when it was almost finished and an exclamation point appeared next to the message. I am connected to my house wifi, and I have never had a problem with iMessage up to this point. A couple of months ago I bought a Mac and I am using the same Apple ID and Email for iMessage on that. I am wondering if the reason iMessage has stopped working on my iPad has to do with the fact that I am using the same account for my computer?

    Then it wouldn't appear that your home network is the problem either. Try turning Messages off on the iPad, reboot the iPad and the turn Messages on again and see if that fixes it.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • IPad is now severely messed up after connecting iPod to its iCloud account, and after switching to that same Apple ID for iMessage/FaceTime

    So, it all started with iMessage. FaceTime had similar log in symptoms as well, but I don't really use FaceTime. The best way I can describe it is with this... Paragraph I sent to my friend, describing my dilemma.
    iMessage and everything was PERFECT for about a day, then it stopped working suddenly on my iPad. Then it wouldn't work on both. Then I could sign in on my iPod but not my iPad. Then finally I could log in to both. But it deleted the old send and receive email I was using, so everyone I texted would see an email rather than my name. It WOULD NOT let me add the email again, it would refuse to send a verification email to allow it to work, and would finally just say "error". Now it suddenly stopped working on my iPad and it hasn't worked at all for almost 2 days now. Oh and I only receive notifications for VZ Messages on my iPod, not my iPad. All the settings are perfectly in order on my iPad as well, so I have no clue what to do.
    Instagram notifications also have appeared to behave as the VZ Messages notifications have. Any ideas? These are all of my top-used apps, and all of their noticatioms are left broken on my iPad after I added my iPod to my iCloud account, and started using my own Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime.

  • Can't set up another email for iMessage! Please help!

    *Yes. I will repost this discusion if it is sent to the second page with no reply.
    I already have two iPhones and an iPod touch, and a Mac set up on my iTunes account. The iPod and Mac each have their own gmail account they use to recieve iMessages (one of them is my Apple ID). The two iPhones each have their own phone number they recieve iMessages from. I now want to set up an iPad on that same iTunes account with iMessage with a third gmail adress to use. When I try to set up iMessage, I am shown the two gmails and phone numbers from my other devices but no option to add another email like all the tutorials say. Is there a limit of 2 emails or something? There is no way I am making a new Apple ID just for iMessage. I tried to look for the option in Messages and Settings. Please tell me if there is a way I can add a third email.
    10 points go to the first plausible answer!
