How can I send "new" iMessages to apple users?

I am unable to send new iMessages but I can send iMessages from previous threads. How can I send new iMessages to other apple users?

Just click the button in the top right corner that looks like a pencil on a piece of paper make sure you are at the main I message screen were all the threads are listed.
If that's not the issue you can try:
1.hold the home and power button for 10-11 seconds
2. When the slide to power off comes up ignore that and keep holding home and power
3. The screen will go black and you will see an apple logo that's when you can let go of the home and power button
4. The. iPhone will come back on and you can try sending a message
If it still does not work
1. Go to settings> General> Reset> select "Reset All Settings" this will not erase any data on the device it will only reset the settings
2. After that try to send a message again
If that does not work you can try this
1. Plug your iPhone into iTunes and click your iPhone in iTunes
2. Then press backup iPhone
3. Then restore your iPhone this will erase everything and reinstall the operating system
4. Try to send a message and see if it sends
5. Then go back into iTunes and select restore from backup and select the backup you made earlier this will put all the data back on the device all apps will need to be re downloaded but app data will still be on the device. Pictures and messages. Will also be their.
If that did not solve your issue I would then go into the apple retail store

    how can i send an imessage to a person i dont know his phone number but know his email he uses for imessage ?

    Add a contact with his e-mail address, and send a message to that contact. I would say integrate, but not 100% that it works. A new contact would work.

    Your issue has nothing to do with the subject of theis thread. The first thing you should do is to start your own thread. Use a properly descriptive subject line. Explain exactly what you were trying to do, what happened when you tried, what error messages you got and what troubleshooting steps you've already taken (saying "everything" is not useful information).
    Best of luck.

    Check this out https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3362, thanks to Kappy. Contact your carrier, they would be the only one that could possibly blacklist your phone, if they provide that service.

  • HT3529 On ipad3, wifi only, how can I send messages to non iOS users?

    On ipad3, wifi only, how can I send messages to non iOS users?
    I have MacBook, and iPhone 4 as well

    Your're wrong on the overly sensitive part. I couldn't care less about android or some other stuff that you are comparing, what i do care about... enough to take the time to explain, is that your view on things colors the choices you make.
    You clearly state your decision making process and the marketing is doing their work on you.
    You think in terms of comparisons and competitors and that will always get you. The truth is, I'm glad Apple finally focused on how "something makes you feel" with iOS 7. There is so much truth in that one sentence!
    There is so much noise out there about screen size, n core processors and price comparisons you can never get a good feel of what the product really is. By the time you figure out you were taken on a marketing hike, a new model comes out and the story starts all over again. (think of the nokia 40 megapixel camera, or the quad core samsung, those are exagerations to impress the consumer) Imagine the size of the jpg's on that phone, all those megapixels with the quality of a phone camera, ridiculous. Soon we will have 12-core phones with 7 inch screens, and people being led into thinking you can do everything on it, "one thing to rule them all", buy now! I saw a woman on the metro the other day with a 6' phone, I swear the thing was almost half the size of her head.
    It's almost 2014 and you are complaining you can't send sms(which is a 25 year old technology by the way) with this new device. All your friends are using outdated tech and because you want to talk to them you want outdated tech too. Sms is insecure, easily snooped upon and recorded, the carrier charges for it and charges more for international sms, and so on... and on... internet chat has been free since the 1990s and it's about time it got free on our phones too.
    Just forget about it. Enjoy other people taking the decisions, you can't take yourself, for you. Trust them, see if it fits, care about life, act emotionally when you "feel" like it. You deserve that, you are human, take the feeling home with you, share it with others.
    Who cares if it's the 2014 edition or quad core... I gave my old iPad 3 to my grandmother so I could call her on Facetime. I bought the iPad Air on a whim, I just "felt" I wanted it. After a couple of weeks she thought about asking me if she could call my brother in the UK too, and how much it would cost. I said it was free, and she looked at me in disbelief. She is now calling my brother weekly by herself... she is 78. Can you imagine that... all I did is give her my "old" iPad.
    Buying the iPad Air was the single best decision of my life, not because of the size or the weight or even iOS 7 (i do enjoy them by the way) but because it made me give my old iPad to my grandmother.
    She doesn't even understand how it works, I figured it would be too much useless stuff to mention... it just does! Here put your finger here and here, then tap the name... wait for him to answer. Unbelievable!!!
    PS. I figured the best gift I can make is give my old Apple devices to people who would never in a million years buy one for themselves. You see them in shops, they are our mothers and friends... they look at the huge prices and they would never give that much to themselves, they feel they don't deserve it. They gave me money to buy all the useless cr@p I ever wanted in my youth, the least I could do is gift them my "old tech" to enrich their lives. Going to buy a 5S soon and give my 4S to someone for free, but it's going to be someone I care deeply about, deeply enough to change their lives.

  • How can I send an imessage when the conversation is using jabber

    I have a conversation going with a friend which started on iMessage, then transferred to jabber (google talk).
    - He's now offline, so I want to send an imessage in the existing conversation.
    - If I send anything it attempts to use jabber.
    - I already have a second conversation going as the only way I could see around this last time was to create a new imessage conversation.
    - The contact drop down only has jabber as an option for the user.
    How can I do this?!

  • The apple care rep hung up on me. How can I send an email to Apple Care with a description of my problem

    The apple care rep hung up the phone on me. How can I contact Apple care by email with a description of the problem that I have. Everything seems to try to push me back into their frequently asked questions list.

    The problem is that the data Apple has for my old Apple ID is contaminated in several ways. First the password I have used for years no longer works. Second, the email address they have in the system to send me a link to change the password is contaminated with an extra.com on the end so that the link never gets to me. Lastly, when I go to answer security questions online they ask for my birthday and when I give it to me, they tell me that is not the date in the system. When an applecare rep (not the one who hung up on me) asked me security questions on the phone all of my answers were correct....but it was when he sent me along to some higher level know it all, the guy started lecturing me about writing things down wrong, and when I chose to disagree, he disconnected. I have some pretty costly apps that I want to update now that I have IOS7 and I casnnot without the password.

  • How can i send a message to specific user?

    I know I need to use ptp messaging when sending a personal message to a particular person.
    How can I specify so that the person with name mike is going to receive?

    Put in your message header in the form of name/value pairs, the knowledge you want to use to control the consumer flow of your messages. For example (personName, Mike). Then setup a selector on the consumer side with personName = 'Mike' (see the JMS spec for this, or your product dev guide). This will allow the consumer Mike to get the message.
    Now will that prevent anyone else from reading the message? No. Anyone that would not filter on the personName could consume the message. Another way of doing it (in a more complex fashion) would be for Mike to create a temporary queue, and to send the queue name to the producer in a message on a management queue define by you. This way, only the element knowing about the queue name will be able to use the queue, hence, the producer targeted by Mike, and himself. If you need to get to that extent, then you probably also want to setup the security, so that only authorized consumers and producers can connect to your queueing system.
    This forces you to allow temporary queue creation, which is sometime seen as a security risk.

  • How can I send an imessage from my email account?

    The imessage settings allow you to set an email address to "start new conversations" but I can't see how that works.

    You use your apple id, (primary email address) to set up your messages and FaceTime account, but you communicate thru those apps not the email app.

  • How can I send a complaint to apple Portugal?

    I sent my ipad for repair through a dealer shop in Portugal, because it is still under warranty.
    After 15 days, I was forced to move to the shop to be informed that the tracking system was active and apple could not repair the device.
    When the shop assistant turned it on, it was found that this function had already been disabled , which I confirmed in my icloud later.
    Basically I was forced to send the ipad, once again, for repair because it continues without charging (in fact he had no battery , it only worked because plugged in, now) and I have to wait another 30 days to recover it, because it was opened a new process.
    Given that they had all my contacts, it's ridiculus they had not told me, because I could easilly turned off the location function at home in the iCloud, and they could repair the ipad while they had it. Saving all this trouble!
    This leads me to believe that you apple is slowing down the process for the warranty period to pass, and I end up with a damageded device.
    Apple is acclaimed for the quality of its products , which is why people expend a lot of money to bying them, it's a disappointment to be treated this way.
    Even worse, Is that it does not have an adequate email for which I can complay properly .

  • How can I send/receive iMessages from my iPhone 5 on my MacBook Air?

    When I first got my MacBook Air (January 2015), iMessages updated automatically upon sign in to display all of my text conversations from my iPhone 5. I also used to see incoming and missed phone calls by default. As of the beginning of March 2015 when I sign in, my MacBook Air does not sync messages from my iPhone at all and I have stopped receiving phone related notifications. Also my MacBook Air is sending all messages from my email address as opposed to my phone number.
    I've looked at the Messages help guides for send and receive SMS and activated text forwarding for my MacBook using my iPhone but this still hasn't helped with me being able to see my phone call/text activity on my MacBook as I was able to prior to early March. The iOS is up to date on my MacBook and my iPhone. I've also checked my iCloud and Apple ID and both display my phone number as an eligible send/receive address.
    Was there an update that changed a setting? I didn't have this trouble syncing messaging and phone when I set up my MacBook Air for the first time so I'm not sure what else to try. Someone help!

    Greetings jennamarie416,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you would like to use the Apple Continuity features such as phone calls and text messages on your Mac. In this situation, I would recommend reading over the attached article for more information on these features and to ensure that they are set up correctly.
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support

  • How can I send Captivate 8 swfs to user for external reviews?

    I used Captivate 5 before and there was a drop-down to send review internally or to Acrobat.com. Is there anything similar in Captivate 8?

    Hi Geri,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums.
    You may use the following links to understand the process of using your Internal for sharing a published SWF for review. Server In a shared network, multiple reviewers can publish their comments to a common file. In a setup where reviewers do not have access to the shared location, they can export their comments to an XML file and send it to the author. When the XML file is imported into Adobe Captivate, the comments appear the same location at which they were added.
    Acrobat.com is been discontinued so the only option left is your Internal Server.
    There is an option in file menu " Send for shared review"
