  • Ever since I enabled iMessage on my Mac Airbook, I can no longer receive text messages from the iMessage people on my iPhone, only on my iMessage now!!  How do I get the messages to reach both iMessage and iPhone??

    Ever since I enabled iMessage on my Mac Airbook, I can no longer receive text messages from the iMessage people on my iPhone, only on my iMessage now!!  How do I get the messages to reach both iMessage and iPhone??

    We are suffering very similar issues when communicating from my iphone to a friend who has both iphone and iPad enabled.
    As long as I reply to an existing text chain, then it is visible on the target iphone.  If I SMS the phone number, it gets routed to the IPAD!!   And NO, I should not have to disable imessage when I want to send an SMS!!

  • Since updating to iOS 6 my phone has not been receiving text messages from some people. Already contacted my service provider and apparently nothing's wrong on their end. Any suggestions?

  • I can call out but all incoming calls are going directly to VM with no signal that I missed a call or have VM. I can send/receive text messages from other iPhone/iPad/iTouch users, I am assuming this is really "iMessage." Is it apple software?

    I have spent hours on the phone with Apple and AT&T. I went thought reset, on/off, etc, etc with both companies to no avail. Each company pointed fingers at the other....as being the source of the problem.
    Problems: Suddenly ALL  incoming calls were going directly to VM with no signal I missed calls and/or had VM. I was also unable to receive all Text Messages...Oddly, I could send text messages to anyone (even non-apple users but I could not receive their responses)........then I when I got home I started receiving text messages from other apples users ONLY. I assume now - iMessage kicked in and I could text (send/receive)  other iPhone/iPad/iTouch users ONLY. ....yes, I could still (send) text messages to my husband's blackberry (he received my messages fine) but my phone would NOT receive his text respones.
    Finally, I googled the problem and found this community where other people have had the exact same problems! One person said he "turned off 3 G" which was the solution for him....so I did the same and VIOLA! My problem  solved! Nevermind the fact that I pay for 3G and cannot use it....so here's my question, if 3G is the problem on my phone is this an APPLE issue or a NETWORK problem? Do I purchase a new phone and slip in my same SIM card and hope the same does not occur or do I get a whole new SIM card and phone? What is the long term resolution to this problem?
    I am happy however to find that my problem is NOT an isolated incident and wish Apple or AT&T had told me this is not so uncommon because I thought (based on the baffled response from Apple) that this has never occurred before.  Where is Steve Jobs when we need him?

        jsavage9621,
    It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect.  This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone.  It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here.  I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you.  I look forward to speaking with you.

  • Why can I send a text message from my iPad mini from my contacts?

    I try to send a text message from my contact list on my ipad mini ,
    the contact name comes up in pink.....Can you tell me why?

    Hi,
    Because you are choosing an Contact ID (iPhone Number or Apple ID) that is either not registered or currently unavailable.
    A iPhone away from WiFi connection may also be out of range of it's Cell/mobile Service. (Or Switched Off or in Airplane Mode).
    An iPad may not be on a Wifi Network  at present. (or run out of Power)
    You may know a Buddy's email and it may also be an Apple ID but that does not mens that they have "registered" it for iMessages.

  • IPhone 4 not sending/receiving texts to/from non-iPhone

    Hello,
    I am on a shared plan with my mother. Thursday afternoon my mom updated our plan and suddenly my phone was not sending or receiving text messages to non-iPhones. iMessage is working just fine, thus I can only talk to people with iPhones. It fairly closely correlated to the IOS update so I updated my phone and that didn't help.
    I have tried resetting network setting, hard reset, toying with message settings, *228 options 1 AND 2 etc... and still nothing is working. Please help! I run a business and can not afford to not be able to be in contact with half my contacts!

        Hi s13021,
    Let's get your messages flowing again! Thanks for the doing the troubleshooting you have done so far.  I know that running a business with a fully functional phone is needed. I have a couple things for you to try. First, turn off iMessage, power cycle your phone and keep iMessage off; try sending messages. To run a good test, send the message to your self and please put "1" in front of your number. Also, another step to try is turn off iMessage, then reset network settings, then turn it on and try again. These have been some successful steps. Please keep us posted.
    Thanks, BobbyS_VZW

  • HT1688 how can I send my text messages from my iphone to my computer so I may print them out?

    How can I forward text messages from my iphone to my PC to print out?

    Easiest way is to use third-party software, like this, to extract them:

  • Why can't I receive text messages from certain phone numbers?

    I cannot receive a text message from one particular number.  We have both checked our phones to make sure we had not blocked each other, which we didn't.  She also is a verizon customer but has an android while I have the iphone.  She can receive my texts but I cannot receive her reply. 

        Hi Coggin. Sounds like you and your friend started in the right direction to find out why her messages aren't getting to you. Budone has a great suggestion to make sure she doesn't have your number stored with a 1 in front. That can actually cause the Android phone to have trouble sending the message to your number correctly. Since you are able to send with everyone including her and she is having trouble sending to you, that tells me it's more likely something we need to look at on her end. Is she getting any error message? Are you the only one she has trouble sending to? Has she ever been able to send you a text before? If she has, when's the last time it worked? Is she using any third party messaging applications from the market? I know that's a lot of questions, but they'll help me get you up and running with the answers.
    Thank you

  • Can not send SMS text message.

    Hi, I'm a BlackBerry user for 4 years now and this is the first time that I have a problem with SMS text messaging. My precious BB is a Q10.
    The problem is that I can receive SMS messages but I can not answer and I can not send messages. When I tap the 'send' icon or press Enter nothing happens. My message dissapears and i can not see in the upper window, below the message that I've previously receive and I wanted to aswer for.
    Also, I can compose SMS message, but when I press Enter or tap send, nothing happens. No message in the hub, or in the text messages folder.
    I've rebooted the device, reloaded the OS, but didn't help.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    With a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (step 1 should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
    1) Register HRT
    KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
    Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive
    2) Reboot
    Pre-BB10 Devices ONLY. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
    BB10 Devices. Hold the top button down until the counter reaches zero. Wait for the device to be fully shut down (e.g., nothing at all displayed on the screen, no LED lights, etc.). Hold the top button until the red LED is lit. Wait through the full boot-up process. IF this fails, you can attempt the battery-pull method above, but it is normally NOT recommended unless nothing else works.
    See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
    Good luck!

  • If someone blocks me on iphone can i still receive text messages from the person that blocked me?

    Im in a group chat with 5 people (including myself) and everybodys been just saying "oh you got the job?" and i just didnt receive any messages from her saying how was it....im just a little confused...DID she block me or??

    The following from  http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2013/09/iphone-call-block-faq/  indicates there currently isn't a way:
    I get my iMessages on my Mac. Are those blocked too?
    Nope. There’s currently no way to block someone from iMessaging your Mac — the iPhone block feature seems to be tied to the physical device, not your SIM, and not your Apple ID or iCloud account. This also means that even if you’ve associated email information with a blocked contact, the iPhone won’t block their emails.

  • I can't send a text message from my new iPhone 5 ??

    what the merucal to send text message

    Hi Friend,
    Which kind of message you can't send? Is iMessage?
    Be sure you do not turn on Restrictions in your device.
    For Messages:
    Turn off Show Subject in Settings>>Message
    Reset the Network Setting, which makes your phone to forget every networks and passwords that you connected your phone to.
    to reset the Network Settings just go to Settings - General - Reset (at the bottom) - Reset Network Settings.
    I remember when I reset the Network Settings, i turned off iMessages. I connected to my home Wi-Fi and surfed the web for a little while. Sent some regular SMS messages, and about 10min later, I turned on iMessages again and sent a text to a friend with an iPhone and it started working as iMessage! Baloons finally became blue.
    For iMessages:
    Try to unsign and sign in again.
    For iMessage chosse to use your Apple ID instead of your mobile number.
    Go to Settings>>Message>>Send&Receive and check if your Apple ID was set or not. If not, set it properly.
    If it is still not working, unsign your Apple ID and select your mobile number ("+" "country code" "mobile number").
    Hope it will be helpful

  • LG Cosmos phone  can not send/receive texts that are typed

    Hi,
    My family  has 3 of the LG Cosmos phones and we cannot word text either the phones do not receive them even though our phones says we sent them.  They even sometimes do not go through to our other phone which is an iphone.
    We have reset, we have cleared memory, we have tried everything.
    Funny thing is we can send picture texts without a problem and we can send the voice text messages and they all go through.  They don't miss one.  However, if we type the text message (as in normal text) only maybe 1 in every 8 goes through. This has been happening for 2 days now.  Any suggestions? It does not matter if we are out or at home.

        Hi mewith3,
    I know how important it is for your text messages to be received. We want to get to the bottom of this situation to get your messages to be delivered. Other than the messages being typed out, have you noticed any other similarities? Do you have any message signatures set? When the messages aren't delivered, are they going to other Verizon users or all providers? To those Verizon users, are the messages on your phone showing delivered? Please provide us a few more details so we can check what may causing the trouble.
    Thank you,

  • How to send a text message from my desktop computer ?

    How can I send a text message from my desktop computer using Firefox ?

    There are many free web-to-phone text services, such as http://textem.net/
    If you intend to do a lot of this, it may be best to have some IM services that can communicate with cellphones (I use AIM).

    You are only as young as you feel......
    This is an example of how you can select the exact content that you want to sync to your device. You do not have to sync the entire iTunes library. You can pick and choose the music, apps, books and so on that you want to sync. This is using music as an example.
    Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Music Tab on the right.
    Click on only the albums or playlists that you want to sync.
    Click on the Sync Music Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    You can do this with apps, books, movies .... Whatever .... You have the freedom to sync whatever you want.
