Find my phone no longer allows us to send a message??

Did they remove this option?

No, they did not. But the option to add a message is no longer included with the "Play Sound" option. Instead, you must choose Lost Mode.

ARe you provisioned by your cell provider to use MMS?
Last option is to contact your cell provider as MMS is a carrier feature.

When I try to use the Message feature on my iPad 2, to send a message to a friends iPhone (on iOS 5 too), why will it not allow me to send the message?

Check to make sure you are not typing your message in the Subject line. If you are, it won't let you send the message. Cut and paste the message into the Message field and you should be all set.
FYI, you can disable the Subject line from your messages in Settings/Messages.

Phone will no longer allow me to send pictures

My phone no longer gives me the option to send or share my pictures. When I have the picture pulled up that I want to send/share, I go to the menu but when I click Send/Share, nothing happens. All other functions of the menu work, such as Rotate and Zoom In. I just noticed this happened today when I tried to send a picture to someone. I have sent many pictures from my phone to others and Facebook, etc. I just sent a picture on Friday so I'm not sure what could be wrong. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

My iPhone 4s will no longer allow others to send me a text message

My iPhone 4s will no longer allow others to initiate a text message with me. I think I have pin pointed the issue, but I don't know how to fix it. When I go to Settings - Messages - Send & Receive, it has both my phone number and my email but it only will allow me to check the email account. Therefore, if people don't have this email stored in their phone, then it won't allow them to initiate a text message to me. They can reply to my texts, but it comes up as my email address vs. my phone number. I have tried to reset my networks, but that didn't help either. I have not downloaded the new iOS 7.0.4 yet. Does that have something to do with it or how can I fix this because I'm on the road for business and I won't have a chance to download it until I get home on Sunday!

I'm sorry you have not been able to utilize your text messaging AlaynaFHirsch. I recommend downloading the new software to your phone. It will definitely help with functionality issues. Are you using a 3rd party messaging application? Have you tried to perform a restore on your account?

My phone (4S, iOS 6) will only send text messages instead of iMessage to one particular contact (iPhone 5). Why this? We are both able to iMessage all our other iOS 5 and 6 contacts!

We also tried to deactivate and activate iMessage in "Settings", but still it will only send text messages.. We have tried within wifi-areas as well.

Is there some way to remove her from my 'iMessage contacts list' (i.e. Not have the little blue iMessage bubble beside her phone number when I try to compose a new message to her)?
No, you can't. Your friend would have to do that. The fact that she has turned iMessage off should do this.

TS4006 FindMyiPhone won't allow me to send a message to my iMac as it used to. Now it just provides options to lock, erase, or send a sound.

I need to send a message to my iMac. Before, I was able to send a message or sound, as well as erase or lock my iMac. I continue to have the latter options, but am no longer given the option to send a message to the iMac.
Please help!

Sun java sys messeging srvr takes so long (1 hour ) to send a message,why??

hi there,
my messeging server takes so long to send a message.please tell me the reason and what to do to fix the problem.
hope hear you soon
best regard,
[email protected]

Not nearly enough data for me to hazard a guess:
1. How is your server connected to the internet?
2. Is this for every message, or was one stuck?
3. How large was the message?
4. How did you send it to your server?
5. How many messages are there in the queue?
6. Were there any errors logged into your mail.log_current?

Why is a pre-order phone no longer allowed to be shipped to my work address??

On Friday, April 4, I went into my local Verizon Store (Orlando MetroWest) to pre-order the new Samsung Galaxy S5. The order was placed and I was given a copy of the receipt which looked very accurate. The sales rep had read back to me the Bill To and Ship To address in the store, and it was correct, but didn't show up on the receipt given. When the confirmation e-mail came to me, I noticed that the Ship To info had my company name, and an address, but my name appeared nowhere on it. I called to question this when the store opened on April 7, and all of the answers were "I don't know. I'll have to research and get back to you." When there were no calls returned I checked again and received the same response. When I left my office for the day, I still had zero answers.
I drove to the same local store and re-hashed what I'd tried to accomplish during the morning. I was told there was no way to amend the shipping label once the order was input, despite the fact NO orders for this phone have yet to be fulfilled, since they are still in the warehouse. I work in a nine story building with every single office working for the same global company. There is no chance whatsoever that the FedEx delivery would ever make it to me without my name being on the label. I don't even think FedEx would try. It was just foolishness at the time the order was originally input (by the Verizon Store).
During the morning there was mention of possibly cancelling the entire order and starting from scratch, which I was totally OK with, as even that delay would be quicker than someone signing for the box and it sitting God Knows Where for days/weeks. When I said we should re-visit that option, I was now informed that it is a "Verizon Policy" to avoid fraud and NO pre-order phone could be delivered to any address except the account address of the phone owner. That was surprising to hear since it had been done (albeit incorrectly) just a couple of days earlier. The answer to that was, "Oh, she made a mistake in trying a work-around". Since I was recording our complete interaction (love that feature on my current phone), I asked manager Mike to verify a third time that he could not send a phone to my office address where I am during FedEx hours, and I could not adjust the existing order to come to the store for pickup. The answers were No and No.
My last two Verizon phones were shipped to my office, but I do understand that some company policies do change. I just think this is a doofus change. I also think it was pretty foolish for the original sales rep to miss putting a person's name on the shipping label. I have trouble believing that the computer order system would even allow her to make that mistake. But Verizon is in phone sales exclusively and not in the corporate shipping business. Perhaps this is some needed training.

Epilogue:
My problem has been solved, and I'm now happy to have my pre-order of the new Samsung Galaxy device completed in a way that totally satisfies me. But I am kicking myself for not going this route in the first place. I won't make that mistake again in the future FOR SURE.
After the manager in the local Verizon Store (Orlando MetroWest) said there was nothing he/they could do to overcome the error made earlier by their store sales representative, because it was a pre-order and nothing can be changed/corrected for the initial input. They had failed to put my name on the shipping label requested for FedEx delivery, meaning that the box containing my phone would probably NEVER reach my hands once if was delivered to a nine-story office building with many many employees.
I simply went to my local BestBuy store and mentioned I had a very few questions to be answered prior to attempting to place a pre-order of my new Samsung phone. I asked if the phone could be set for delivery to my office and the answer was a quick YES. I asked if the phone could be set for pickup at the BB store and, again, the answer was a quick YES. They were initially surprised to hear that any company would say otherwise. BestBuy requires a photo ID when they take a phone order, and a signature is required when FedEx makes its delivery, so they assured me the Verizon "Fraud Policy" quoted to me was not a standard retail answer AT ALL. Thirteen minutes after I walked to the mobile phone department, I was walking out with all my confirmation details for a new phone. The purchase was less out-of-pocket since BB doesn't do that VZW arrangement of paying $50 extra and then getting that back as a mail-in rebate later. Seems no other carrier except VZW is charging that extra fee for this new device. On top of that savings, BB gives you a $10 gift card just for doing the pre-order with them. Bonus!!
I may (or may not) receive my phone a few days later than those ordering at the Verizon Store, but in my situation I was assured to get mine late due to the shipping label error. No matter what, I'm going to be pleased with my purchase, and BestBuy just earned additional respect with the way they accurately handled my Verizon purchase. VZW it still a quality mobile phone provider, but (in my personal opinion) they are extremely weak in the guest service side of the business . . . which almost negates those other positive things.

Find my iphone no longer allows message

to be sent when sending sound under ios6.....Apple PLEASE PUT THIS FUNCTIONALITY BACK IN!!!!!!

Dont want to put in lost mode when sending message.
Here's the scoop - I used to use the feature to send a sound AND and message to get the attention of my two 20 year olds in college when they appeared to ignore regular texts. Doing so made the phone sound off LOUDLY with the message I needed to get to them - they were forced to read the message (usually in the forn of stop pending money because you are overdrawn).
Now we cant do this...

HT4528 The new iOS6 allows you to send/receive messages from other phones linked to your iTunes account which is great for checking on my kids but I dont want them to be able to add my phone to their messages. Is there a way to block from being added to

I updated to the iOS6, and it allows you to view and send messages with any phone on iOS6 and linked to your iTunes account. You can unselect phones so they dont go out through the phone, but is there a way to block other phones from adding yours? Example, I don't ind being able to see what my son is sending/receiving on his phone but I don't really want him to be abe to add my phone and see all my messages...

Simple process. If an iPhone go to the Apple Store and not Verizon
the phone from Verizon will be a refurbished device and not new unless under the 14 day worry free guarantee
good luck

Phone will not allow me to send a photo to my email address -'server error'!

I have just wasted and hour trying to contact EE via 150 FROM MY MOBILE. It will not allow me to key in and Option number so that I can speak to someone at the other end. I am pressing the hold key and it does not work so I cannot get through! Can some one please help as I am losing the will. Never had trouble before. Grrrrrrrrr!

Hi Sorry to hear about that. Have you tried ringing them on 01707 315000?
What phone do you have, and how big is the picture you're trying to send do you know? Do you receive an error message? Cheers,
Titanium

HT1688 My phone won't allow me to send/receive pictures to non-IPhone users?

I have searched ans searched for answers! I have tried everything but nothing is still working, I have an IPhone 4, it has been updated to the most recent version and cellular data,MMS messaging etc is turned on. Please Help! Thank You.

You can look at this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802, but user troubleshooting is power off/on, a reset holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will restart. This will not affect data at all. If needed, the next step is restore from a backup. With the phone connected to the computer and iTunes, click the Restore button, and when prompted, restore from your backup. Just make sure before you start the restore that you backup the device. The Backup button is right in front of you.
Before trying to restore as a new device, the next step, I would do as I suggested in checking with the carrier. A restore as a new device deletes all data from the phone.

Mail (8.2) message sorting in Yosemite: No longer allows quick tab sorting of messages?

In previous versions of Mail, you've always been able to do quick sorting of messages with the To/From, Subject, Date Received tabs at the top of the message lists. I don't use the Conversation view, preferring instead the Classic view. When selecting/highlighting a message in a list, the message would resort themselves if you clicked on any of the header tabs. However, now, this doesn't happen. It will resort the whole list and you lose your target message.
Note, that searching for messages or the "show related messages" function in the View pull-down menu is far less useful and convenient to scan messages. There's no more list.
Does anyone have any insights into how to get this feature back? Or why such a simple and useful feature would no longer be present.

Frontage,
YES. Isn't it silly. Somehow, software companies feel an over arching need to offer new versions & so often, THEY MESS THEM UP! If only we could easily go back to the previous ones.
However, in this case, there is a solution- Like you, I was trying to figure out what Old Toad was saying & where on the screen his pic came from. I was clicking around the upper left corner of the screen, on the flag icon, on the mailboxes & perhaps other things. Something I did restored the feature, so that when sorted, the message used as the sort key remains selected. I quit Mail & restarted & it still works.
So there is a solution. (I just wish I could say what it was.)

I'm using my old iPhone as an iPod. I have a Windows phone now but my friends cannot send text messages
