Delayed iMessages to iPhone despite coming through on Ipad

Very often I will get an iMessage that comes through on my iPad (iPad 2), but it can take sometimes up to 15 minutes for it to come through on my iPhone (4s).  I can even go back and forth a few times via my iPad with the person who sent the original message and there will still be no activitiy on my iPhone.  Eventually the iPhone catches up and most of the back and forth messages are displayed, but occasionally one gets left out completely.  Why does this happen??

  • IMessages are not coming through to iPad

    Recently, my iMessages have not been coming through to my iPad.  My sent messages will show up, but the received ones will not.  I have check all of my Message settings, and they have not changed from what they were before. I've checked my Wifi connection and all other possibilities I can see, but I feel I am just missing something simple.  Any ideas?

    If you mean that you are not getting notified when a text comes in, go to Settings> Notification Center> Messages.

  • IMessage from iPhone 5 not working to iPad 2 internationally

    Hi there,
    I am hoping someone can help me with clarifying why iMessage from my wife (iPhone 5, iOS 6.1.3, currently in South Africa) is not working to me (iPad2, iOs 6.1.3) at the moment.  She is unable to send to me, but experiences no problems in sending to our kids in Canada (who are all on iPhones).  When she is in Canada, iMessage works just fine.  Is it because iMessage is transmitting to my kids' iphones via cellular, but she is unable to txt me (my iMessage is linked to an email address) because she is not on a data connection/WiFi?  Is iPod appreciate any assistance; thank you!

    Thank you very much for your help MetaSolaray; this is most helpful ... I have followed your advice and was able to establish the following:
    My kids can send messages to my iPad via iMessage, and they receive messages sent from my iPad ... so, all ok with respect to Apple devices in Canada!
    It now has become apparent that messages sent by my wife from South Africa to my kids' iPhones are received randomly (i.e. not consistently), and still not delivering at all to my iPad.  What is interesting is that my wife is able to txt my eldest's Blackberry perfectly.  Does this mean that it is an iMessage/iDevice to iDevice issue?
    My wife has not yet been able to get to a WiFi location, so all texts have been sent via cellular (data roaming is turned off on her iPhone).  We are hoping that soon she will be able to get to a location where she can hop onto a wireless network to test this further; but, I have to say, I find this highly frustrating as txt (pre-iMessage) seemed so reliable.  I will keep you posted ...
    I really appreciate your kind assistance!

  • Captivate narration not coming through on iPad

    Hello,
    I created a Captivate project in Captivate 7.0.  My project includes a music introduction (MP3 file) on the first slide and narration on the subsequent slides.  On my desktop, the project and sound (music and narration) runs properly.  However, on my iPad, neither my music introduction on the first slide nor my narration on subsequent slides comes in. I confirmed I do not have "mute" on and that my volume is up.
    Do you have any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Sarah

    Hi Sarah
    Are you running on iOS 7 ? if not can you share the project with me for investigation . You can send it through dropbox / yousend it to my email - [email protected]

  • My husband and I have our iphones  and icloud set up. He is getting all my text messages coming through to his phone, how can i get this changed so it does not happen? does it have anything to do with icloud?

    My husband and i have our iphones set up. He is getting all my text messages that are coming through to my phone, how can i elminate this problem? Does it have anything to do with out icloud?

    Well, you use the different accounts such Phone Numbers, email addresses. And make sure that your iPhones have no receipient address in common, then you can avoid this issue.
    I use iMessage on my iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro, iPod touch.
    Each of them has a individual address to receive messages, so they won't combine all the messages among all the devices.
    Try this, if it doesn't work, tell me, I'll figure another way out.

  • My 4S has stopped ringing. Voicemail's disabled but if you call me, you'll hear it ring your end but it does nothing at mine and freezes if I make a call. Texts are not being delivered or coming through delayed. Ringer is on, tone enabled - help!

    My iPhone 4S has stopped ringing altogether. Voicemail is disabled but if you call me, you'll hear it ringing at your end but it does nothing my end and freezes in the phone app if I make a call (doesn't ring or connect and doesn't freeze the phone, just the calling part). Texts are not being delivered or coming through delayed. Ringer is on, tone enabled - help!
    I've disabled roaming so it only runs on wifi (this after getting a £4k phone bill...) and I can use Skype, Viber and WhatsApp with no problem at all.
    Would really appreciate any help at all!
    Many thanks.

    Hi there - am with Orange and they said nothing wrong with account and service running normally.  They said if they had cut me off I would've received a text (debatable with current message receiving situation!) and when I called out it would say 'calls from this number are barred'.  Also if you called me it would say something similar.  But it doesn't, it will ring and ring until it rings off but nothing happens at all on my handset. Not even a missed call notification.  If I call out, it will display that it is calling the number but that's it.  If I cancel the call it will constantly display 'ending call'.  If I come out of the phone and go to another app then revist phone it will start calling that last dialled number - without ever getting as far as ringing or connecting.

  • After downloading IOS 8.0.2 on my iPhone 5, my email messages are not automatically coming through.  I have to open my mailbox and wait for messages to download.  Do I need to reset or change settings for mail?  Please help.

    Please Help.

    Hi Chris.  Thanks, for the suggestions re: my email issues.  They were helpful and yes I did check all items you referenced.  I even contacted Apple support and spent about 40 minutes on phone checking all settings.  However, after all these efforts, my mail and calendar issues were not resolved.  Apple Support finally recommended deleting the mail account and then reloading it - and it worked!  I am now receiving my emails and calendar appts. in real time again.
    Just wanted to share this in case anyone elest has a similar problem with mail/calendar after downloaing i.O.S. 8.1 onto iPhone 5.
    Thanks, again.

  • My Mac has stopped receiving mail. Mail is still coming through to my iPhone and my wife's iPad but is not appearing on my mac. I have mail from today on the phone but nothing newer than 18 Feb on the Mac. I have not touched any settings. Can anyone adv

    My Mac has stopped receiving mail. I have a mac.com address. Mail is still coming through to my iphone and my wife's ipad but nothing is coming through to my imac.I have mail from half an hour ago on the phone but nothing newer than 18 Feb on the mac. Everythng was working fine until recently and I have not touched any settings! Can anyone help?

    So I tried something else recently and it seems to have fixed the issue. My mail is now getting new mail again and refreshing after waking from sleep without having to restart mail. Give it a try and hopefully it will help you too.
    First, make sure your Mailbox List is visible (Shift + Control + M). Then select all of your inboxes, mailboxes, and folders (not just the root folder for nested folders, make sure to select them all). Then under the "Mailbox" menu, select "Rebuild."
    It may take a while to rebuild them all if you have a lot, but like I said it seems to have done the trick for me. I hope that proves to be more of a long-term solution.

  • IPhone 5 YouTube sound is coming through Ear-Speaker (Not from main speaker).

    I’m using Safari and Chrome to watch YouTube videos, but this morning I realize that sound is very low, later I realized that sound is coming through ear-speaker and main speaker is not working for YouTube media. Any advice?!?
    Everything else is working perfect, music, ringtone, alarm all sounds coming through main speaker but all safari and chrome media is using Ear-Speaker. Really frustrating, I really think that buying iPhone5 was mistake.

    I Have a similar problem occurred on my iPhone 5 , after install iOS 8 I can hear by ear speaker but the mic didn't work also volume bottoms didon't work,
    my ear speaker still new in a good condition.
