  • Since updating to ios7, i'm not receiving texts messages from certain people. Help!

    I have an iphone 4s and I recently updated to ios7. I've noticed that I can't receive text messages from certain people. I went into settings>messages and made sure that imessage was turned on. I noticed that directly under that was "waiting for activation". I clicked on "use your apple ID for messages" then logged in......it responded with "please check your network connections". That's confusing because I have full bars. Is there something that I'm missing

    Yes, your iMessage is not activated yet. Turn it off, wait a short period and turn it back on. You should wait 24 hours before getting overly concerned about it still waiting for activation. Check this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4268

  • Why can i not receive picture texts from my contacts

    Ever since my phone upgraded to the new system, I cannot receive any picture texts from my friends.  my text messages indicate I have a new message (friends name and no subject) and when I click on it, it brings up a new text message for me to send.  I know they are pictures because I ask my friends if they had sent me something.  I use this feature a lot and it gets annoying to have my friends email it to me instead of texting it, not all my friends have smart phones and cannot email me the pictures all the time.  Can someone please help?

    Terimich6,
               Is your mobile data turned on? And if you long press on the picture in the text can you save attachment? If you can do that try viewing them in your gallery.

  • Not receiving e-mail from certain addresses

    I've never had this problem before, but I'm not receiving any emails that come from the community college e-mail system where my husband works. I used to receive them, but today, three different people tried to send me an e-mail from the same place, and I didn't receive them. They aren't in my spam folder. What else should I check? Thank you. The e-mail addresses are from [email protected] Thanks!

  • Not receiving emails from certain people

    Please go to this web site. My problem is similar to those on that web site. http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=960
    I am having trouble getting e-mails from certain people. My wife just renewed our mac.com membership. The fee was$99 + $10 extra for myself. We are not getting the benefits of this membership and demand it be fixed immediately as the problem has existed for a week. My wife has a brand new "i book pro" and the same problem exists for her. Her email address is: [email protected]

    Just FYI, everyone here is just a fellow user. .Mac employees provide no technical support here and probably never read any of these posts. If you want to contact .Mac support, you need to fill out and submit the form on this web page. When you fill out the form, provide as much detail as possible - the most important items will be the domain(s) (i.e. someplace.com) that the problem emails are being sent from.
    Good luck.

  • User is not receiving some email from outside of our network.

    My company runs a 2010 exchange server in house and we have Microsoft Office 2010 running on all systems. Recently one of the executives at my company has been having trouble with receiving email. As far as I can tell the issue is just related to him.
    He still receives a bulk of his email, I've been sending him multiple test messages from different outside emails and he gets every single one of those, but there are times when he doesn't receive emails from certain people. He has no filters/rules set up
    for him in outlook or in our server. I'm not convinced the issue is with our server or outlook. We have a barracuda spam firewall on our network and when I look through it's message log, the emails that he needs to receive are not even showing up. It would
    show up even if it was blocked. This means that they don't even touch our network. This morning it happened again and the executive had the other guy send me the email and I received it no problem and I could see it on our firewall message log, but not the
    one he had sent the executive earlier in the morning. I need to come up with some kind of solution or work around, or even just different ways to trouble shoot the issue. Any input would be appreciated. 

    All the clues indicate this is not the problem on recipient Server/Client. We are out of control for the message item even doesn't touch our domain. Maybe we need to contact ISP or resolve the issue on Sender site.

  • IMessage on mac does not receive pictures

    My iMessage on my mac book pro (Os X 10.9.2) does not receive pictures sent to me. It will receive screen shots, but not actual pictures taken by the phone or image files saved to the phone. I have tried the PRAM restart with no luck. Ideas??

    Hi,
    Odd stuff first.
    In the Contacts App > Card menu > Show My Card - is this your Info ?
    Can you compare the Names that do show in Messages with those that do not in the Contacts App ?
    For instance do the ones using Country Codes as part of the telephone Number Show up but ones that only use the local number (no Country code) do not ?
    If this s the case check the System Preferences > Date and Time including the Time Zone as everything is time stamped.
    Next go to the Messages app > Preferences > Accounts > iMessages Account > Details Button (you will be asked to sign in again).
    Does this list the "right" Country or region (it is this that will add the county code to plain numbers and allow your Apple ID (or others) to work properly.
    In System Preferences > Network > Advanced Button > DNS tab does it list DNS servers that are not on your LAN ?
    Quite often it lists the router (192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x and occasionally 172.16.x.x through to 172.32.255.255) rather than external DNS servers.
    It "should" show the ones the router lists in a greyed out form.
    If not, copy the DNS servers across (from the router) or use Public ones.
    If that does not  work use th Finder > Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key and select the Library that appears.
    Navigate to Preferences.
    Find com.apple.iMessages.bag.plist and drag it to the Trash then Restart Messages.
    This will force the app to reconnect to the iMessages Servers (and as there is a group of them you may well end up with a new server)

  • LG Revolution not receiving text messages from iphone user

    I am not receiving text messages from iphone user, sporatically.  The messages are showing as reveived on Verizon website in usage detail, but not being received on my phone.

        This issue needs fixed asap! I have a few suggestions that should help you get this resolved. If they are showing up in the usage details, that means they are hitting the Verizon network, but for some reason they are not showing up on the phone.   I recommend clearing the cache from your messaging/text messaging programs. Go to settings> applications> manage apps> all> Messaging/Text Messaging> Force Stop/Clear Cache/Clear Data. Erase the old text threads that you have saved and retry.
    If that doesn't work, please let us know the following:
    1) Do they come in delayed or not at all?
    2) Do you have any 3rd party messaging apps installed?
    3) Do they have any problems receiving messages from you?
    4) When they're sending messages, are they directly to you, or do you have this problem when the iPhone user sends to a group of people?
    Thanks for the additional info! I'm sure we can find a fix.

  • Iphone mail app not receiving e-mail from 1 sender

    The Mail app on my iPhone 6/iOS 8.3 is not receiving e-mail from one sender sent to my Outlook e-mail account. This sender's e-mail address is "[email protected]". It is a notification of digital magazines available from Zinio. I know the mail app is not receiving the e-mail because Outlook 2013 on my desktop and Outlook.com do receive these e-mails. How can I get the mail app on my iPhone to receive these e-mails from this address?

    Initially it sounds like something with your backup data caused the issue with your new device but if you restored your device again without using the backup and the issue still exists it wouldn't appear to be the issue at all. Since the problem seems to only be with one person are you sure it's not an issue on their end and with their network that is stopping you from receiving the messages? Have you tried *228 option 2 to see if that helps?

  • I do not receive any bills from you and then i get a past due notice.  i can't figure out why  i get a past due notice but no initial bill?

    I do not receive any bills from you.  Somehow, I get a past due notice but  no bill initially.  How can that be

    You can see your bill online anytime you like. In fact you'll get your bill online before you get it in the mail. By the way did it occur to you the post office could have lost it? (removed) Even your smartphone has access to your bill via the My Verizon app.

  • IPad not receiving pictures

    My iPad is not receiving pictures it shows the blue iMessage bubble with a question mark. Help!

    Try turning off iMessage, Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).
    Wait a few minutes after the phone restarts and turn iMessage back on.

  • Mac E-Mail Not Receiving Incoming Mail From ATT/Yahoo Mail Server

    Recently "upgraded" to ATT U-verse. My Mac email client (3.6) suddenly not receiving incoming mail from the web-based ATT/Yahoo. Settings-all are correct: Telephone talk with Tier 1 and Tier 2 ATT reps confirmed "unusual" problem, and that the settings (ports, ssl, etc.) are indeed all correct. Tier 2 supervisor referred ticket (F23576784) to the brilliant minds at Yahoo for help. I've heard nothing for five days. Some emails do get received on my client, from (Apple, ATT, for example). Others languish on the web-based mail, with no push to my iMac. Tests of sending myself e-mails continue to confirm problem, with test emails sitting at Yahoo server, no push to my Mac client.
    I am able to send e-mails successfully from client. Interestingly, a couple of incoming e-mails from friends did manage to slip through the lines and arrive in my Mac client a couple of days late. Brave little souls, they're not talking.
    I've tried all sockets, all other settings possible, but no luck. Why is there no straight-forward answer to this proliferating problem? Odd e-mail behaviors? No documented or shared answers by the big outfits to Mac users? Mac mail virtually disabled and useless? Has anyone found a path to resolving the varied but similar problems in this area yet? Thanks in advance for any help offered beyond adjusting preferences over and over and over. That ain't working.
    Stuiee

    Geez, some emails are getting through, most are not forwarded to my client MacMail. They are also marked as read, which could mean that Yahoo is forwarding them somewhere...(?) Can't get ahold of Yahoo, ATT forwards me to Yahoo, Yahoo has no method of emailing real, technical questions, ATT supervisor actually called Apple and there is nothing wrong with the OS or my set up requirements.
    Does anyone know a workaround for setting up smtp requirements? Can't switch email clients at this time, would take a lot of changing existing contact info for bizz.
    At this point all I would like to know is, where is the problem? Why does a server (ATT/Yahoo) send some mail to my account, not send others, and marks all messages on the webmail as read? Thanks for the one response, I do believe the problem is some minor error set at the isp's server software for Macs, but who knows?

  • Not receiving e-mails from comcast

    I am not receiving e-mails from a friend who is with comcast.  Several other people from verizon are also having this problem.  The message is not in my spam folder.  I have tried to solve it at this end and she has tried at comcasts end.  Neither takes responsibility.  Do my filers need adjusting to receive comcast mail?  It is very frustrating.

    Thank you.  I did find the message in my spam detector.  However, I don't understand why it doesn't go into my regular inbox.
    If its a sender you want you can identify the sender as safe.  Then a copy goes to spam detector and the inbox.
    They do not give what the rules are for the Spam Detector thinking a message is spam.  To do that would give spammers a hint on how to get around it.  But I have noticed a few things that causes valid mail to be thought to be spam.  E.g..  messages with exclamation points in the Subject.

  • Do not receive E-mail from apple.

    have forgotten my password.assigning my E-mail for recoving password.i do not receive E-mail from apple

    I have a similar issue: I can send and receive email on my MBA, from my iPad and iPhone, but suddenly I can't send or receive on my MBP (computers running 10.8.4). I can get mail from icloud.com.
    In System Preferences I signed out of my icloud account and then re-entered my credentials and signed in again: No Change.
    I have the Triangle with the ! in the middle of it next to my Inbox. I've gone to Mailboxes > Take all accounts on Line with no change.
    In Mail Preferences nothing has changed and all Accounts tabs are exactly the same as on my MBA which succesfully receives mail.
    The Connection Doctor indicates that there is a problem with iCloud IMAP mail.
    I've tried turning off SSL: No Change
    What to do?
