I can send message via Facetime on my iPad but not, apparently on my iMac

Is messaging via facetime an iOS only feature that doesnt apply to desktop iMacs or am I (most likely ) missing something?

Hi Linc, I can see no place or option to write a message . In particular the 2nd name .Its obvious on my iPad

Can send message to iMessage recipient on iPad but not on Mac

I am using iMessage on my Mac and iPad, I have a friend who sends me messages that come through as iMessages on both devices but when I reply on my Mac it tells me his number is not recognised. I am able to reply from the iPad. Any idea's?

Thank you, this solved the problem, there was an additional mobile number for the contact that was not registered with iMessage.
Thank you for your help

I can send mail through Safari and my iPad, but not through Mail. Suggestions? Connection doctor says I am connected to the Internet.

I have checked the server, checked connections, still cannot send mail.

It says: "Cannot send message using server [email protected] (MobileMe)
Connections to the server “smtp.me.com” on the default ports timed out.
Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent."
The Connection Doctor says nothing is wrong and I am connected to the Internet. (Thanks.)

After installing the new Yosemite OS on my iMac I can no longer send email. I can receive email, but not send. I use gmail and can send email on the gmail (google) site, but not on "mail" on my iMac. Any others with this problem? What should we do?

After installing the new Yosemite OS on my iMac I can no longer send email. I can receive email, but not send. I use gmail and can send email on the gmail (google) site, but not on "mail" on my iMac. Any others with this problem? What should we do?

My gmail, which is correctly configured for Mail with gmail SMTP and Google IMAP, works for awhile on Mail, which I leave open while working on other applications. But several times a day I get msg from Google: "We recently blocked a sign-in attempt to your Google Account" . . . and requiring me to verify my account details, re-enter passwords, confirm security settings (or change them from "disable" to "enable less secure methods" and so on). In Mail I also have tried "taking all accounts online", and re-entering my gmail password inside Mail account settings. These steps successfully re-set comms between gmail and Mail ... for awhile, then it happens again. Enough occurrences over a work day that I just quit Mail and revert to accessing gmail directly. Apple Care advisor and an Apple knowledge base article say that Apple can't deal with this, as gmail is third-party app, and they refer me to gmail, and so far I've found nothing helpful there.
From today I also have several instances of a window saying "Mail has unexpectedly closed" and asking me to Re-open it.
I also use Yahoo mail, which stops working with Mac Mail at the same time as gmail, but I do not receive notices to re-verify from Yahoo.
I recently upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite. The Mail problem happened occasionally with Mavericks but is far more frequent with Yosemite.

I purchased an album from the itunes store on my ipad2 thinking i could retrieve it from my windows pc. I have turned on home sharing and can see my pc library from the ipad but not vice-versa. Is there any way to transfer the album from my ipad library?

I purchased an album from the itunes store on my Ipad2 thinking i could access it from my windows laptop where I sync my ipod. I turned on Home Sharing and can see my laptop libraries from my ipad but not vice versa. Is there any way to fix this so I can transfer the album to the itunes on my laptop?

Yes I tried that. I finally turned off all home sharing settings, shut down my desktop and found them in my account settings in the store on the cloud. So at that point I just had it download everything. But I suspect that with the ipad somehow being on, the store was saying I had already received them? Regardless, my trip today whilst running errands, I was rocking out to vintage Police music! Thank you so much for responding.

With iPad 2 I can use Messages to text other iPhone users, but not others.

With iPad 2 I can use Messages to text other iPhone users, but when I try others I get the big red x on the contact. I have upgrade to Iso 6. According to the help on Messages, it should have the capability to text outside Apple Products

I suggest asking Verizon. Standard SMS text messaging is a cellular carrier function.

Can't send messages on mac. Changed phone but not number

Immesages say they have sent on mac but not received by conatct and do not pop up on phone

Hello,
If you open the Activity viewer (click on Window in the menubar and choose Activity) and watch when you try to send, what phases if any are indicated are taking place before failure?
What type of authentication is required for this SMTP? When using in Entourage, what are the selections in Advanced sending options, particularly regarding the box beside Use same settings as receiving mail server?

I can send emails and texts on my iPhone but not receive

How can it be possible that I am sending emails and texts but not receiving either?

Hi Go to Settings email accounts delete each account then add back again. Text messages are run by your network provider check with them for that problem. Cheers Brian

I can send or reply to emails from home, but not when traveling

I can send emails and reply to emails when I'm here at home in California. Just got back from Florida where I could neither send or reply to emails. The same thing was happening on both my and my wifes 3gs phones. Ideas?

I had the same problem starting yesterday. I fixed it by turning off wifi when not at home. Now I can send and reply to e-mail.
I have found that if I leave the wifi on, the phone will keep trying to connect to the mail servers and drain the battery making the battery life problems MUCH worse. Not sure what will happen now that it has to use the cell network for all e-mails.

HT4847 I have a lot of room to store photos on my ipad which I use as my computer. How can I keep saving photos on my ipad but not my iphone?

I would like to store my photos on my ipad, not my iphone. I have 64 GB on my ipad, and do not have a computer. My icloud is full, so I would like to only save photos/videos on my ipad, and not my iphone. Is this possible? Or do I have to save them to a computer?

Did you enable photo stream? if so, that service will sync the photos across your devices. But you can turn it off. If it's on, try going into the iPad settings, iCloud control panel and turn off photo syncing and then see if the photos remain on your iPad only.

How can I set up imessage on iPhone to send messages from the name of number but not e-mail.

I can set up iMessage on Macbook to send from the name of number, but can't do it on my iPhone after upgrading to 6.1

If your iPhone and iPad are both running iOS 6, and your iPhone successfully registered it's phone number in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, all you should have to do on your iPad is go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and sign in with the same Apple ID you are using on your phone.
If it is, and it still isn't working, try going to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in.

TS3899 Does anyone get "the message has no content." when using Yahoo mail? but i can always see the email on my Ipad, but not Iphone?

Seemed to have started once i went to Ver 7, but when i use my Ipad i can always see the email
in full?

I have this same problem on my iMac since installing Mavericks. The emails download, I can see who they are from and when they came, but nothing shows up in the message pane. I can see emails I got before I installed Mavericks, although about half of them did disappear. Sure would like to find a fix--perhaps the 10.9.1 update will do it?
