I can read messages in a group chat but can't send any?

I am able to join group chats in messages but I cant send anything. I am on Mavericks (had the same issue on Mountain Lion as well) and using AIM for messages, I also have an iMessage account and a jabber account active.
I used to be able to log off and quit messages a few times and then I could send messages to the group. Now I cant even do this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
You can't (in the app).
Basically in Messages or iChat > Preferences > Accounts > AIM account > Server settings will show you the Login and Text chat port.
However this is only for basic 1-1 chats.
For  a long time the port used to be 5190 on the TCP protocol.
However if your did Direct IMs in iChat pr sent files or pics then it moved to the UDP protocol.
Since about iChat 6 the login port has been 443  (you will see this change recommended in many earlier posts on the subject)
This is a port that is below the 1024 threshold that routers have the ports open for all devices that are connected.
The ports above this port have to be specifically opened.
UPnP is the most common method as it allows multiple devices to use the Same ports.
Also the ports will close after a period on none use (although this can be 30 mins later).
This Direct IM/File Sharing port cannot be changed in the app.
You have to make sure it is open in the router (And in any third party firewalls you might be using.)

  • None of the messages in the group chat are showing up

    My phone notifies me when someone talked in the group chat but when I click on the notification, it just shows a chat with no one in it. Neither chats show up in my recents. I can't send or receive messages. This just happened today and I'm really confused as to what happened

    Ok I just talked to support via chat and apparently this is a known iPhone mobile App issue.  This is exactly what he said to me: "I was informed that this issue already have a ticket to our engineers and they are already working on this one. This has something to do with the latest version of Skype for tablets and mobiles.  We may release another version of Skype app so once an update is avaialble, update the app on your phone ASAP." Hope this ease some frustration.

  • Why I can't send any e-mail messages with 6230i?

    Hi mates,
    I have a Nokia 6230i with a Vodafone Italian sim card in it.
    I know for sure that I CAN retrieve messages form my incoming POP3 e-mail server but I can't send any e-mail messages with it.
    Any time I try to do that it prompts me an information balloon saying: message failed. Why??
    I mean, I properly set up my phone with all Vodafone details but it still does not seem to work.
    Any help will be appreciate
    Stefano.
    P.S.
    I can even send and receive MMS and of course SMS too
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    thanks mate for your reply
    When you say: "Make sure your SP allows sending e-mail"
    Do you mean the provider who give me the mail service?
    Because I know for sure that with MS Outlook express I can send and recive e-mail with it

  • I am currently abroad in France, and I can not send any SMS messages.

    I am currently abroad in France, and I can not send any SMS messages. iMessages works fine. I have checked the setting, and message sending to SMS is activated. I have also reset my phone. Could you advise on why I can not do this please?

    Hi 
    It could be a case that the network you are connected to is having problems.
    If you go to Settings > Carrier > Turn off Automatic > This will prompt the device to do a manual search. Once completed chose a different network and test.
    Also is it a particular number it's failing to or have you tried a few?
    Let me know how you get on.
    Thanks. 

  • I can't send any pictures on the message application.  It tries to send it but ends up saying "Not delivered and an !"

    I can't send any pictures on the message application.  It tries to send it but ends up saying "Not delivered and an !" How do I fix this?

    See:
    * [[Images or animations do not show]]
    *A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
    *A click on the "More Information" button will open the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
    *Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
    *Select the first image link and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow key.
    *If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

  • Can not send any email from IPhone 5, I get......A copy has been placed in

    Can not send any email from IPhone 5, I get......A copy has been placed in
    your Outbox. The sender address "jvcrews@" has been rejected
    by the server.

    I have the same problem, but I can send and receive e-mails from my home base.  When out of the range of my home I get this message: "

  • HT201318 I have been told by iCloud that I can't send any more email today.

    I have been told by iCloud that I can't send any more email today.  I've sent my maximum.  I was prepared to upgrade, but apparently I'm at the maximum of 50 GB.  Any suggestions?

    It's nothing to do with your storage levels: there are limits placed on the numbers of emails you can send.
    I quote:
    iCloud has several safeguards to ensure that only iCloud members can send messages using the iCloud outgoing mail server. Among these safeguards are reasonable limitations on:
    The total number of messages you can send each day (200 messages)
    The number of recipients to whom you can send each day (1000 recipients)
    The maximum number of recipients per message (100 recipients)
    The size of incoming and outgoing messages (20 MB)
    iCloud email has been designed primarily for personal use. Sending unsolicited bulk email messages through iCloud email servers is prohibited. To review the iCloud membership agreement and acceptable use policy, please see the iCloud Terms and Conditions.
    If you have reached these limits you will have to wait until tomorrow.

  • TS3899 I can't send any mail.

    I can't send any email out from my iphone 5

    When it asks for the password, typically this is a random number sent to you via text message from Google.  I get a new code everytime I want to add a new device or log into from a new computer.  It can get very annoyingif you access your account from various computers or devices.  Once its working its not bad though.  You may want to go back in and turn the 2 step authentication off.

  • Can receive emails but can't send any

    Can receive messages but can't send any. What setting am I missing?

    I had this same problem with my zoho mail account.  It started when I changed my email password on the computer....Long story short I have been going crazy for a few days. I could receive mail, but couldn't send anything from that account! (Fortunately I have two other accounts which are a different server - gmail.) I turned my iPad2 off then on again...I did a sync with iTunes...I deleted the account and then added it back...Still it would not send..Just receive!
    I did finally get it fixed, but it took about an hour poking around and looking for help here.
    There were several problems:
    1. Somehow the server port numbers were incorrect. So when I added the account back in, I found that the "incoming server port" was not correct and fixed it. But I didn't see how to check the "outgoing server port." - somehow in the setting up process, that just wasn't exposed.
    2. Eventually I found the "outgoing server port" here:  - Go to Settings - General - Mail - Account. Then tap on the Account you need to fix. Check the information there to be sure it is correct.
    THEN: tap on the white bar just below the word "Outgoing mail Server"
    That takes you to "SMTP"
    You will see a primary server, and "other SMTP servers"
    Somehow I had 3 there that were the same account server name (zoho) ..all with the wrong port number!
    But even after fixing each one, I still couldn't send mail. This led to problem number 3:
    3. Apparently having 3 of the same account was a problem. After I deleted all three of the accounts, then tapped on "Add Server" and entered the information back in again. Bingo, I could send mail!!
    I don't know why, but now my "Primary Server" says "Not configured - off"
    And all the "Other" servers say "off" as well.
    But it's working so I am going to leave it as it is.
    I hope some of this is helpful.

    I can receive emails but can't send any today.  Does anyone know if the server is down? 

    Are you using the Mail application that came with your Mac (or maybe MobileMe or some other web based email service)? If it is just Mail, who is your ISP - it would be their servers you're dealing with.

  • HT201320 I am having trouble with my wife's new iPhone 5s. She can receive her telus email but can not send any email what did I do wrong in setting up her account?

    I am having trouble with my wife's new iPhone 5s. She can receive her telus email but can not send any email what did I do wrong in setting up her account on her iPhone? I tried to just copy the info from her old iPhone.

    The sending of email is accomplished via the SMTP server. Take a moment to get back into Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars and select the account. Go to the SMTP server and check to make sure that username and password are entered in all of the appropriate places. If you cannot get it to work after trying to just change those settings, remove the account from the phone and recreate it. When recreating, make sure you enter the username and password in every location, even if the phone says optional. Make sure you have the settings from either the email provider or from the other device. Make sure that SSL is on or off as necessary.
