Can receive text msgs but cannot send!?!?

A few days ago I began to be unable to send text msgs. Using iPhone 3G, it appears that the 'send' button is dithered 'greyed' out. I tap it but nothing happens. I can email, and obviously type text online (as here) but cannot 'send' text. I deleted MSG history, cleared cache, cleared recent calls, cleared email history to no avail. I can receive text just dandy but cannot send. Can anyone shed some light here or do I go see the 'geniuses' at the store and get a new phone. ( it seems every time I have a phone problem like this, they can't fix it they just give me another phone) Would really like to not have to go to the store. Thanks in advance for anyones help!

I would try a few basic things before scheduling an appointment with the Genius Bar.
1) Sync your iPhone with your computer. I have noticed that sometimes my phone will have a hiccup and when I sync it, whatever was wrong automatically rights itself.
2) Reset your iPhone holding down the "home" button and the Sleep/Power button on the top right side of the phone at the same time. It takes about 5-15 seconds and you want to make sure you hold down both buttons until you see the apple logo, ignore the slider.
3) Plug your iPhone into the computer and perform a phone restore. There are 2 options for this:
a- If you know when this problem started with your SMS messaging you can restore from a backup that was done on a previous sync. Chose a date prior to this issue starting and restore your phone to how it was on that date.
b- If you don't know when this issue began or restoring it to an earlier date does not fix the problem you can restore it to how it was when it came out of the box.
I hope that one of these things is able to solve your problem with SMS messaging. If none of these fixes the problem you should schedule an appointment with the Genius Bar and get this resolved with them. If you visit the Genius Bar make sure to sync your iPhone just prior to your appointment so if they need to replace the iPhone you don't lose any calendar entries, recently added contacts, pictures, etc.
Good luck!

SMS and calls are carrier features. Check with your carrier

I can receive AOL email but when sending email I get an error recipient rejected by server because it does not allow relaying

Brand new iPhone 4S Verizon. Using AOL. Works (or at least did yesterday) from iPad 2.

I am having a similar issue. I have a 3GS. I can receive email messages, but, cannot reply or send from my iPhone. When I try to send, I get a message: "A copy has been placed in your outbox. Sending the message content to the server failed." I have an AOL account. The last time I think I sent an email using my iPhone was around 7/4/12. I spent several hours yesterday with AT&T. They gave me the phone number for AppleCare. The technician suggested I begin with this forum before paying for a one time trouble shoot. He suggested that AOL can only be logged on to one device at a time. I logged off our PC turned off the phone. Turned the phone back on. Went to the outbox and tried to resend a test msg. I got the same error.

When I log in to my hotmail account on mu apple Ipad, I see inbox only and cannot see the word ''new'' to send emails. So I can read my emails but cannot send. Where is the feature to send emails.

QUESTION : when I log into hotmail on my new ipad, I only see inbox where I retrieve my messages but cannot see the word ''New'' which would
allow me to send emails the way it would be on a desk pc. So I can retrieve my messages but cannot send ???
Thank you in advance for help.

The icon in the upper right of the screen (assuming you are using the Mail app) that looks like a square with a pen is the new message button. Tap that to create a new mail message.

Just want to find out how to send email? Can receive just fine, but cant send?!?!

Hi Just wanted to find out how to send email? can receive just fine but cant send. Using hotmail at the moment.
Any help would be great
Thanks

go to your mail providers setup guide and compare every single setting to how your smtp setup in your settings are set
and if they are not the same change yours to match their page
and if they are the same contact your isp to inquire as to why they are blocking the ports your mail provider are using

All of a Sudden I can't send emails! I can receive on imail, but not send. any ideas?

Hi everyone
I am having issues with my emails that I have set up on my Mac Book Pro.
I am able to receive them fine, but the SMPT server now won't send any.
This has happened in the past and I have just deleted the email account, and re-started it... which works fine, until 1 day then it suddenly stops sending again.
I'm fed up doing this however and want it sorted for good.
Does anyone have any ideas? Greatly appreciated!
Stuart

There are only two things that I can suggest.
The first is to try the Mail Setup Assistant.
The other is giving Mozilla's Thunderbird a shot - setup the account and see if it will work with this free email app. I don't like Mail at all - and it gives some people fits around here (I don't know how many times people have posted about problems with outgoing servers using Mail).
Try both methods - I don't use Mail - I use MS's Outlook (and, before that, Entourage). If the Setup Assistant offers no relief, just try Thunderbird and see if it works with it.
Good luck,

Can receive Viber messages, but not send?

Hi all,
Last week my friend in the UK lost her phone, got a new one and re-installed Viber.
Since then I can receive her Viber texts, but when I try to reply I get a pop-up saying that 'this contact no longer has Viber installed...'! This obviously seems nonsensical.
She can also call me on Viber, and appears in my Viber contact list. However if I attempt to send her a Viber message and get the pop-up above, her name suddenly disappears from the contact list!
I have today updated my Viber to the latest version, in case my Viber was somehow out-of-date with hers, but the problem persists.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,

I started having the same problem today. I have been using Viber for some time now without any problmem both on wifi and 3G and starting today I'm not able to use it. I have an iPhone 4s and have the latest version of Viber installed on it.
The messages get stuck at "Sending" and after a while turns put to red color with an error "Not sent".
I tried uninstalling and re-installing viber but of no use. After the re-install it is not syncing my contact list nor working. Could some one help?

Can receive Facetime calls but cannot initiate Facetime calls

Hi,
As above, I am having trouble initiating Facetime calls even though I can receive them. I am using the latest software (4.2.1), have restored the phone and reactivated the iPhone and have reset all settings (General < Reset < Reset all settings). I have forwarded the ports specified by Apple for Facetime in my router and have UPnP enabled.
I should say that occasionally I can make a Facetime call successfully, but usually it rings indefinitely, or gets to the 'connecting' screen and then hangs indefinitely or disconnects after a while.
I only use Facetime to call my g/f and she has done the same steps to troubleshoot as me on the iPhone with the latest software/resets etc. (but I don't know anything about her router).
Is it possible I cannot make calls to her because of a problem on her side (even though she can make calls to me), or is it likely to be an issue with my connection?
Thanks,
Brophs

If your facetime does not work and you don't see the facetime button when you try to initiate a call try texting yourself. Sometimes your phone company has deactivated your text messaging when you hook up your new Iphone 4. Phone them and get it reactivated and it will work. You need three things to activate facetime. 1. Cell phone service (naturally) 2. connection to a router (wifi) and 3. text messaging that works. A text message is sent to complete the connection.
Have a great day and enjoy facetime.

Federated user can log into mailbox, but cannot send email

Hello. Of several dozen federated users with mailboxes in Exchange Online, I have one user who suddenly cannot send mail from his own mailbox, always receiving a, "you do not have the required permission to send from this mailbox." He used to be
able to send, and I've reviewed and compared his mailbox properties and mailbox permissions with other federated users, and I can find nothing to explain these errors. The "NT Authority\Self" identity is listed in the Send-As permission, just as
it is on every other user's mailbox. I even tried explicitly adding the user's account to the Send-As permissions, which made no difference, so I removed it again.
As I said, the user can successfully log into his mailbox and can read his mail, but all attempts to send anything out fail with the same error. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike

Turns out the problem was caused by two things:
1) the user has a K2 (kiosk) license
2) in Settings, the user checked the box to "always show the From field"
Apparently, despite the fact that this user had access to no mailboxes other than his own, when you turn on the From field, Exchange apparently does some sort of check for Send on Behalf of rights whenever the user hits Send, even on his own mailbox, and
the Kiosk license excludes the ability to Send on Behalf Of any mailbox.
The bottom line is that, unchecking the "always show From field" checkbox resolved the issue and allowed the user to again send mail.
I'm a bit annoyed by this. If the Kiosk licenses limits a feature like this, then it should remove or deactivate the GUI element, to prevent it from causing this sort of error from occurring.

Can receive audio & Video but cannot implement call

Hi - I have had my Imac G5 for 6 months - Love it! Have more fun with it then any of my pc's. I recently purchased Isight and tried it last night. Had a video conference with my buddy across the country - Great clarity and audio. The only problem that I had was I could not instigate the conversation. He could ring/notify me for a call but I could not do the same. When I added him to my Buddy list and clicked on him, none of the buttons worked (A, audio, Video) The were not accessable. I also went into the view/ edit and other topics and most of the commands were unaccessable. Looking for an answer - Thanks

Hi Christopher,
Open iChat.
Go to the View menu
Make sure the Show Video Status and Show Audio Status are selected. (have ticks displayed next to them)
Next go to the Video menu (the one to the right of Buddies) and makes sure both Camera amd Mic are Enabled (ticks next to them)
Go to System Preferences > Sound > Input tab.
Select the correct microphone and adjust the slider until the blue response bars reach at least halfway.
Go to the iChat Menu > Preferences > Video section > Microphone drop down.
Make sure the Microphone chosen matches the one selected in the instruction above.
If the four things above are set correctly and you are still having problems does your modem (or any seperate router) have outgoing filters as well as a firewall ?

Can view incoming email but cannot send email

When I try to send a email from my iphone 4 i get a msg telling me I need to enter a password. I have gone to settings and re-entered the password...still wont send. I receive emails with no problems, just cant send them. Any help is appreciated!!

Yes it should be on, SSL means the data will be encrypted when you send an email.
My hotmail settings are:
smtp.live.com
SSL on port 587
Username: [email protected]
Password: My password
Authentication is set to "Password"
If you are using those settings I don't really know what the problem would be :S. It should work if you provide the correct password!

I am receiving my emails but cannot send or reply comes up with no authentication

I am unable to send emails from my desk top Apple Mac even though I am receiving them. Why?

Hello [email protected]
Start with checking to see if the outgoing email settings are correct. Check in the Mail Settings Lookup page to see if you have the correct settings in place. If nothing comes up, check with your email provider for those settings. Once you have that information, you will need to update your outgoing settings and change it from None to Password and enter in the Outgoing server name along with the User Name and Password for you email address.

I am using a new imac with osx lion 10.7.5 and have bought a copy of Apple iLife 11 on dvd a so that I can install iWeb and idvd, when I click on install iLife I get a message saying "iLife.kpg was signed with an invalid certificate

I am using a new imac with osx lion 10.7.5 and have just bought Apple iLife 11 on dvd so that I can install iWeb and iDVD, as macs no longer ship with these apps. When I click on install iLife I get a message saying "iLife.kpg was signed with an invalid certificate.
Next problem is that when moving through the installer and get to custom install, as I only want to install iDVD and iWeb, I am presented with the option to install iDVD, Sounds & Jingles and iWeb, but not sure what is going on with the other 3 options iLife Support etc, they seem to be greyed out but still look like they may install over the top of the newer versions already on my imac. Is it ok for me to just go ahead and hit install? Or do I have a problem?

Yep, just install iDVD (plus sounds and jingles) and iWeb if you want it (but note that iWeb apparently won't work if you upgrade to Mountain Lion).
Then use Software Update to get any late iDVD updates.
