Changed my iTunes password, not iMessage wont send or receive SMS

Hi! Like the title says, I had to change my iTunes password and now iMessage on my macbook wont send or receive SMS messages when it did previously.  I have enabled messaging and FaceTime.  I've restarted all devices (iphone5s, iPad mini, and MacBook Pro) and updated iCloud and all passwords.  Everything else appears to have connected smoothly, except for this.   Any ideas how I can fix this? 
Thanks in advance!

I tried to post in a few others and kept getting this message.

  • Not able to send or receive SMS messages on iMessage on mac

    When I first updated to Yosemite the new SMS feature on iMessage was working. I had to replace my home button and screen on my iPhone 5s and after that it stopped working. I am not sure if having that repair done on my phone has anything to do with my above problem. Please help

    Hi Ralph,
    Thank you for your reply.
    Ok, I will try to explain myself better.
    When I say:
    - Messages, I am talking about the software to send and receive iMessages and SMS.
    - iMessage, is the blue bubble
    - SMS is the green bubble
    Facetime is because if someones callsme and I do not answer quickly on iPhone, and the Macs are using the same network as iPhone, the VoiceCall pops ups and rings, and usually I activate the Facetime option (when is a iPhone). Sorry about this confusion.
    So basically, a week ago, I could send and receive SMS, iMessage on my Macs to/from anyone.
    Now, I just can send iMessages (blue bubbles with blue name/contact on top [TO:]) and I can't send SMS (text messages, green bubble), I receive error (red exclamation point) and the name/contacts on top [To:] are red.
    And as I told, I think it might be because of the new iOS update with iTunes recovery. Because it is the only similar thing I can relate with "loyalchiver" (when an iPhone goes to repair, the restore it.) That's why I tried signout/in in all Macs, but still not working.
    About the Text Forwarding function, I had searched and what I was getting was to go to Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding, but this last option didn't appear, so I thought this was because the pages/foruns that I was reading was for the version 8.1 and not 8.1.1 (Apple could change it, I don't know). But while I was trying to put this working, I had rebooted some where and when I saw your reply, I went again there, and I had the Text Message Forwarding option, so all I had to do was activating it. Thank you!
    To "labelchiver", I am not sure how I did it, but try this:
    1. close all applications running on background.
    2. reboot your iphone.
    3. go to Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding .
    4. If you can enter there and your mac is linked, unlink it and link it again.
    5. Hope it works for you
    Once again, thank you for your help and I apologize for my  confusions about the labels. Cheers!

  • Imessage wont send or receive photos

    imessage is sending and receiving texts but not photos. What's the solution please.  I've checked updates, settings, etc. and can't seem to correct this?  Any suggestions!

    Sim[ple stuff first:
    1. Does your carrier support MMS (text messages with photos)
    2. You said you checked Settings but didn't tell us which ones. Is MMS turned on?
    If the above answers are "Yes" for both, the next thing I would try is a reset of the phone. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.

  • I need to change my iTune Password and in order to do so I need to know my security question. Obvioulsy I forgot but it does not give me any options to remmber or get to some point to change my password

    I am not sure if I am in the communit I need to but I need to change my iTunes password and when I try it ask me for security qestions that I obviously forgot...and it does not let me proceed....help

    Hey neener64,
    If you can't remember your security questions and answers, the optional rescue email provides a way to reset them. You can read more about that here:
    Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    If you did not provide a rescue email address, you can't reset your security questions and you'll need to contact iTunes Store support to have them reset.
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    All the best,

  • My iMessage will not let me send or receive messages on my iPhone 5 has not been working for 5 days

    My iMessage will not let me send or receive other iMessages on my iPhone 5

    Apple is aware of the issue and is workingon an update to address iMessage issues.
    In the meantime I have found that a good old fashion reset cures it for a while.
    Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears (no data will be lost)
    Others have had success with this:
    1. Turn off iMessage in Settings > Messages
    2. Reset networking settings in Settings > General > Reset
    3. Reenable iMessage in Settings > Messages
    Note: This will clear all wifi passwords.

  • HT5622 I had to change my iTunes password. Now, when I try to download a song, it repeatedly asks me for my password. This is frustrating! Can anyone tell me what I can do about this??

    I had to change my iTunes password. Now, when I try to buy a song, it repeatedly asks me for the password and doesn't seem to register it and go to the next step. It's becoming very frustrating. And, equally, if not more frustrating, is the fact that there is no simple way to contact Apple to find out how to fix the problem. I hope someone here has the solution.
    Thank you!

    After you changed the PW did you go to Settings>iTunes and App stores and sign out and sign back in?

  • I changed my iTunes password and now I can't download previous purchases

    I changed my iTunes password (but kept the same username), and now I can't re-download any songs that I purchased BEFORE changing the password.
    When I follow the steps in the Apple support pages on how to re-download previously purchased songs, I am taken to my "Purchased" page in the iTunes store, but the songs I purchased before the password change don't show at all.  Only the songs that I purchased after changing the password appear. 
    When I search for one of the older songs in the iTunes store, the menu bar to the right of the song says "purchased," confirming that I did indeed purchase the item.  But again, I can't download it.
    Again, I did not change my AppleID, only my password.
    Does anyone know a fix for this?  Thanks.

    Hi hyperslam,
    Are you certain that you are looking at "Purchased" here:
    And not here:
    You want to look for your Purchased items under QUICK LINKS not under the "Store" heading in the sidebar!

  • My imessages wont send to one person

    i got the ios7 update when it came out, but two days i was texting this one contact in my phone and my imessages wont send it says in red letters not delivered. i have been imessaging this person for over a year and ive never had this problem.
    when i imessage other people it works.
    the person i am imessaging says he has the same problem when he imessages me. i have tryed turning off imessage reset network and turning off my phone and it still wont work, its been happeningfor 2 days now. please help

    This has never happened to me.  However, perhaps you're not following the right sequence of actions.  There are several ways to do this.  Here's one:
    1) Open up the phone application on your iPhone (it's the green icon at the bottom with the symbol of a phone), and select the person in the book you want to send the message to.
    2) Tap on the cloud symbol to the right of their cell phone number.  That brings up a screen with a "To" box at the top of the screen with the person's name.  Below is a blank field and below that a "Text Message" window.
    3) Tap your finger inside that "text message" window; make sure that now the blinking blue vertical line is inside the "Text Message" window. 
    4) Then type in your text message and when you're done tap on "Send" at the right.
    Hopefully this will work for you!!!

    Have you signed out of your iTunes account on the device/computer that you are using and signed back in with the updated password ? That should 'refresh' the account on it, and you should be able to use the account's new password to download updates to its apps
