Settings -> Messages -> do you have "Send as SMS" ON?
If not, then your messaging app will be restricted solely to Apple's iMessage service, which only works between iOS devices.

  • My I messages won't send. Any ideas ?

    All of a sudden my I messages will not go through. It says it was sent, and within a second it says it was not sent. When I retry, it still won't send. These messages are to a person that I text all the time, so I know it did work. Any ideas?

  • I have a brand new iPad newest version. Wifi. The messaging won't send out but I receive messages from others. What is wrong?

    I have the newest version of the iPad (3rd generation) with wifi. The messaging won't send out but I'm receiving messages from others when I'm using it. They also come through on my iphone at the same time. But I can't send them out on the iPad. I tried someone's suggestion of changing the DNS to 8.8.8.8 and that did not work to fix it. What is wrong with this thing?  Thank you in advance for your help.

    Are you trying to send a message to a cell number or an email address?  iPad does MMS, not SMS, meaning it can't send a message to a number.  It can send a message to an email address........

  • My iPad 2 won't receive text messages and is not sharing any data with my iPhone 4. Please help!

    My iPad 2 won't receive text messages and is not sharing any data with my iPhone 4. Please help!

    The iPad receives Text Messages through Apple's iMessage feature. Make sure this is turned on on your phone. Also, text messages received at your phone number are not shared with the iPad. Make sure that iMessage texts are being sent to your EMAIL ADDRESS

  • Mail won't send (on any account)...

    Hey,
    I've been using Mail alright. Everything worked just fine and now it stopped working. I can still receive mails on all accounts but it won't send on any of my five accounts. All the settings are okay (including port). Nonetheless does mail say "Can't send mail via server XY" (freely translated from german).
    Please help me.
    Julian

    I am having this same problem. I have checked the settings, the ports, the passwords, etc. a million times. I receive mail, but can't send it. I finally got smart and checked my settings, etc. and set up my email accounts using Entourage instead of Mail. Guess what? It all worked perfectly fine. There is something messed up with Apple's Mail program in its latest iteration, I think. Does anyone know anything about this?

    P.S. Mine is a .Mac email account. My ISP is att. It's been this way for five years. Now, with a new computer, it all has gone to the dogs. Grumble.

  • My messages won't send

    My messages won't send. I have an iPhone 4 with 3G and all day my messages have just been stuck halfway on the bad that shows how far your message is until being sent. Other internet things are working perfectly and I'm at my house with wifi.

    I found an article that can help troubleshoot issues with the Messages application on your iPhone:

    Both of yall need to go to settings, meassages, send and recieve, scroll down to start new conversation from, and make sure you have different email addresses with a check mark beside it. Right now sounds like they are the same email addresses.

  • My ipod 4G won't connect to my wifi at home with new router. Says "unable to connect" and won't give me any other options. Have tried resetting network connections. Help.

    My ipod 4G won't connect to my wifi at home with new router. Says "unable to connect" and won't give me any other options. Have tried resetting network connections. I don't want to lose anything. I have tried turning everything off and back on again. Desktop and laptop are working fine. Sometimes it turns on suddenly and I can use it for like 20 mins but then shuts off again. Same thing is happening with my dad's iphone, Help.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network       
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • I have 2 iphones on the same account and all of a sudden my text messages are also appearing on the other phone. i haven't changed any setting

    i have 2 iphones on the same account and all of a sudden my text messages are also appearing on the other phone. i haven't changed any setting

    you most likely have imessage on both iphones and sending/receiving to same number on one of the iphones. go to settings messages > send and receive > check the numbers/emails on both iphones. once you uncheck the numbers/emails you dont want you will not be getting the messages any more. a little bit more info is helpful read this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538.

    After soak test update, I get error messages repeatedly. The majority are "unfortunately, messaging has stopped", but you can replace messaging with "android os", or any other process, as it happens with more than just messaging. I have had numerous people call and ask why I didn't reply to their texts...and I look, but have not received any new texts. YES, I have restarted phone. I have cleared data as well as cache on all apps. I have downloaded the vzw messaging app, which seems silly, since it happens with several different processes and apps, but all to no avail. I am missing texts from my employer, from my family. This did happen, but rarely, before this "soak test". It is now Kitkat version 19.6.3.obake_verizon.en.US. THIS is when I started having problems...like 50 times a day kind of problems! I have seen hundreds of posts all over the internet over the past 3 days. Does no one know how to fix this??? Shouldn't there be a way to revert phone to a pre-update state? and no, hard reset did NOT work!!!! I have been with verizon for well over 15 years, but I have not upgraded my lines and will not in July either. This is ridiculous. It's not like my games aren't working, it is my messaging and "android os"...my lifeline at work!

    kristinaf333,
    Oh no, I am sorry to hear your messages are not working since the software update. I greatlly appreciate doing all that troubleshooting to try and get the messaging application back in business. I know how much I rely on my messages so I can understand the urgency to get this resolved. Have you had a resolution ticket opened since you started experiencing issues with your messages? Does this happen with all contacts or just some? Please provide additional information to ensure we get to the bottom of this for you.

  • When I send a text message to one of my daughters, the message ends up going to my other daughter's iphone.  Why?

    When I send a text message to one of my daughters, the message ends up going to my other daughter's iphone.  Why?  All three of our iphones are using the same itunes account but all of the sharing is turned off and I have checked to make sure that each phone is set to only recieve imessages at its own number. 

    Are you using the same email address for imessages, Go to settings,message, send and recieve, does each phone have the same email? checked?
