I can send imessages to other user who is claiming they cannot access the internet or email????

I have to communicate with someone via emails and text messages. When i text this person the text messages are highlighted blue therefore sent as an imessage to their phone. Is it correct then that they must have an iphone and does this mean that person definitely has internet access on their phone and therefore would be able to access their emails. They are claiming they cannot access their emails due to a new phone which they "have no need to receive emails on it" which i am assuming they are trying to claim that they do not have a data package for.

Yes to receive an iMessage the recipient would need an iOS device (iPhone, iPod, iPad) and an internet connection. This is a messaging serviceprovided by Apple so the recipient does not need to check emails. If the contact does not have internet access at the time the iMessage is sent then a normal SMS through your carrier can be sent instead if you have "Send as SMS" turned on in Settings>Messages.

  • I cannot send iMessages to some ppl who have an iPhone connected to the internet

    My iPhone is not recognizing some other iPhones connected to the internet among my contacts. Hence we cannot use iMessages, e en though their iMessage option is switched on in the settings. In other cases i can send iMessages using their apple ID instead of their number. it is a bit complicated.
    Any ideas?

    Hey "AppleTechGenius"...you realize the thread you're posting to is almost two years old, & the OP has not posted since that original post, correct?

  • Yesterday I download Firefox 4. When I tried to open it I got message that Firefox was "working offline" How can I change this back to on-line when I can't get any farther? All other programs work fine, I just cannot access the internet.

    Computer is a desktop running Windows Vista. IE will not open either saying "there is a problem and shutting down". My laptop with Firefox 3.6 works fine.

  • My iPhone does not always send iMessages to other iPhones who have their iMessages on. Most times I text a new contact with an iPhone first, they show up as regular text messages. How can I fix this?

  • Apple Applications cannot Access the Internet, Others can

    I've owned my MacBook for about 1.5 years now and it's starting to have some stability issues. Daily hard-locks are becoming the norm. I suspect hard drive issues may be to blame. I have repaired permissions and verified and repaired the disk. That seemed to help for a little while, but this latest problem is throwing me for a loop...
    Apple applications cannot access the Internet. Apple Mail (RSS, POP, ad IMAP), Safari, iTunes (PodCasts, iTunes Store), and Software Update all time out while trying to contact servers. Firefox, OpenVPN, command line SSH, ping, etc, all have no problems.
    My next step is a reformat, but this week is a really inconvenient time for me to do a backup and restore and I'd love a quick-fix if there is one. Any suggestions?

    Thanks. I just realized that is was serious user error. I forgot I had enabled Socks proxy in Internet connections a couple of days ago and that my Mac apps would still be using that while my other apps would not. Thanks!

  • I cannot access the internet, I tried to answer that said to go to settings, safari, tap clear history, cookies and cache, cut off, then on, but it did not work.  When I go to internet the screen is grey??? please help I am a new user!!

    I cannot access the internet the screen is grey, I have tried by using the answer from someone but it does not work...I went to settings, tap safari, then clear the history, cookies, and cache, then turn off ipad.  When I did that twice, it did not work.  How long does it take for the clear history to work?  I am a brand new
    user of the ipad2 and I am disappointed that this is happening already.

    Have you been able to access the internet previously and now it's suddenly not working, or are you still trying to access the internet for the first time on your iPad?  Are you at home trying to connect through your home router?  If you are at home, did you put your home routers encryption code as your password?  The encryption code is what your iPad is looking for and it is usually found on the router and is typically a 13 digit combination of letters and numbers.  Let us know......

  • I did a software update on my ipad and now cannot access the internet. how can i fix this?

    I did a software update on my ipad to 8.1 and now cannot access the internet.  How do I fix this?  My mail updates, but to get internet access I had to move from wifi to cellular data, and now even cellular data does not allow me access.

    Hi Go to settings Reset Network Settings After Reset you need to enter your Router wireless key Before you do this turn off your Router for 30 seconds Also an option is to go on Websites for your make of Router look for any Firmware updates but you can do this later. Cheers Brian

    Does the iPod see the network? Error message? Does the iPod connect to other networks?

  • I installed Mountain Lion on my iMac. Now I cannot access the Internet. All the other computers and tablets have no problem. I did PRAM and MC reset, modem reset, etc., all the usual ju-ju. I also cannot connect on my local network to any other computer.

    I installed Mountain Lion on my iMac. Now I cannot access the Internet. All the other computers and tablets on the network have no problem. I did PRAM and MC reset, modem reset, etc., all the usual ju-ju. I also cannot connect on my local network to any other computer. Yet Network control panel says I am connect to the modem, and Network Diagnosis says I am connected to the Internet. It's like the blind man who has eyes that cannot see. BTW, I am not some newbee. I have been a Machead since the early nineties and set up a half dozen networks, including the one I am using at home to which the iMac mysteriously is there but not. This has me stumped! I am considering going back to 10.7!

  • My computer cannot access the Internet, but my iPad can...

    My computer cannot access the Internet; it keeps saying "a connection timeout occurred," but my iPad is connecting fine.  I'm running OSX 10.8.2

    Back up all data.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.

  • Can other computers plug into a macpro to access the internet?

    a friend of mine has two macs, a mac pro and a macbook pro.
    he wants to access the internet on both computers, (wired DSL)
    if he uses his dlink router, the connection is much slower than if he plugs the internet directly into the macpro.
    is there a way his macbook pro can plug into the macpro, with its two ethernet jacks, so the portable can access the internet?
    we tried it, but it didn't work. Internet sharing was on in the sharing preferences.

    At my old workplace I had a G5 with two ethernet cards, a network switch, and a few other computers wired through it. I'm almost positive that I was able to share my connection in the manner that you described. I think that it didn't work right away for me, either, and I had to do some tinkering, but it worked.
    Part of the reason why it didn't work was because it was short-lived: our IT department was not happy about having multiple devices connecting through one ethernet jack, and using this method they could see that there were multiple, individual machines on the line (source ID for network requests was different, or some such thing).
    My solution - which would also fix your friend's problem - was to turn my G5 into a Squidproxy server. This basically causes your G5 to hand out the IP's to the systems connecting through it, and it forwards on all traffic to and from the computers behind it. As far as I know (based on the fact that the IT department was quiet after I set that up) it'll mask the computers behind it.
    Squidproxy is free, but setting it up can be a bit of a chore if you're not familiar with it. It may be an overkill solution, but it'll definitely get the job done.

  • HT1414 I cannot access the internet on my home network but can on any other network

    My iPad is able to access the internet on all other networks but my new home network doesn't allow me to get on.

    I do not think so.  It seems that this has happened to some people that use comcast.  I am wondering if anyone has figured out a way to override the issue.

  • Can I tether a Blacberry 8700c to my Powerbook G4 to access the internet?

    I have a Blackberry 8700c and cannot tether it to my Powerbook G4 (OS 10.4.8) so that I can access the internet from the Powerbook (either by Bluetooth or cable). I need to send documents and e-mail from my Powerbook through the Blackberry acting as a modem. Has anyone been able to do it?
    Power Book G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    i had a blackberry 8700c (now have a treo 680) and at the time, everything i'd read indicated that the 8700c could not be used for bluetooth DUN (dial-up networking) as it does not have the right bluetooth profile to allow a data connection, only the capability to transfer audio via bluetooth. however, i just checked out blackberryforums.com and it seems that someone has found a way to use many blackberry models as a modem with a usb cable and some additional modem software. here's a link to the instructions (of course, use this information at your own risk): http://www.blackberryforums.com/blackberry-guides/2019-user-howto-use-blackberry -modem-laptop.html

  • IPod touch connects to our wi-fi but cannot access the internet. It functions fine using other wi-fi at other locations just not ours at home. We have 2 other iPods in the house that use ours fine, with no issues....

    I have done all the troubleshooting from the support page. The ipod shows that it is connected to our wi-fi and sometimes even shows the ip addresses but it wont let us connect to the internet/itunes store etc... the other ipods in the house use the wi-fi with no issues and this ipod is able to connect to public wi-fi and other location wi-fis and access the internet with no problems. What else do I do?

    luvlabs
    Thank you for your reply. I have tried your suggestion. Emmm I have an AirLive router, there are so many wires o.O I don't know which one to plug out. I think it is the yellow one which says WAN? But I wasn't so sure. So I tried plugging out each wire and followed your instructions. Sorry, but it didn't work I'm going mad xD! I even tried re-doing your instructions on WAN wire, and it didn't work.
    Hmm according to step 4 (Log back into your network using Settings > WiFi > Other. Re-enter your network name (SSID), security, and network password.)
    My network name is already available in the list. So I didn't need to do that. Or is it neccesary?
    Thanks a bunch! Reply soon

  • Mac Pro can access other Macs but those same Macs cannot access the Mac Pro

    Hello.
    I have a highly annoying problem that goes as follows:
    My (home) network consists of:
    - 1 Mac Pro (e2008 - 10.5.6)
    - 1 iMac (2008 - 10.5.6)
    - 1 MacMini (2004 - 10.4.??)
    - 1 MacBook Air (2008 - 10.5.6)
    The internet connection is alive and well with no drops not that it truely matters here.
    The setup is as follows:
    - Linksys AM300 in half bridge mode connects to the
    - Apple Airport Extreme Base station from which 1 cat6 cable runs to the
    - Mac Pro
    The other Macs connected to the Airport Extreme wirelessly.
    The Mac Pro has its network settings setup correctly (in fact it used to work fine but then just stopped working) and I have also disabled all network settings, rebooted and reapplied the settings to no effect.
    To clarify:
    I (Mac Pro) can connect to all Macs in the network but all those macs can see me but not connect to me. Connecting via the Finder simply says "Connection Failed" and if I open the "Connect to server.." and enter the IP address of the Mac Pro it results in an error/failed connection also.
    Any ideas to fix this would be highly appreciated.
    PS: As of now, 19/03/2009, I have all software updates installed on all macs in the network.

    Place the files you want to transfer on the Desktop
    Click on the Finder or desktop to swtich to Finder, then Go > Computer, then double click on the boot drive, then on the Users folder.
    Open the target User folder and inside is a Public folder > Drop Box, just drag and drop in there and the permissions change so that user can use the file.
