I can't receive files in Messages

I can drag files into chat conversations with other Messages users and they receive my files just fine. But no one can send me any. They drag the image into the chat and hit return. It appears to work and then after a few seconds the image is replaced by the file name. Clicking on the file name brings up the File Transfer window which shows the transfer as having failed.
I have no idea what I've set up with my router or MBP that is causing this. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks!

HI,
In Applications/Utilities open Activity Monitor.
See if IMFileTransferAgent is running.
It should not be. (well, it briefly appears when Files (Including Pics-in-Chats) are sent or received.)
If it is there highlight and use the Quit Option (Confirm Force Quit).
It should relaunch but all the outstanding files and Pics should be downloaded.

If someones is using my account/apple id can they receive calls or messages too?? and how can i notice if someones using my apple id??

if someones is using my account/apple id can they receive calls or messages too?? and how can i notice if someones using my apple id??

You cannot make your @icloud.com address the login address for the ID. However you can change your ID, currently a Gmail one, to any other functioning non-Apple email address. The Gmail address would then no longer access your account, and so even if someone were to obtain posession of it (is that even possible) it wouldn't allow them to get into your account.
If you want to change your ID to another email address please follow the procedure outlined below, particularly noting the first step.
Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
Create a new email address, for example at Yahoo or Gmail, or anywhere convenient (or you can use an existing address as long as it has never been associated with an Apple ID).
Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
Where it says 'Apple ID and primary email address' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
Enter your new address and click 'Save changes'.
Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.

Can't receive normal text messages after updating to iOS5, only iMessages

Over the summer I bought iOS5 from a developer and had it on my phone for about a month until it crashed and I had to restore from a backup. So I put iOS5 back on my phone, and it crashed it again. I decided to wait until yesterday to put it back on, because it was legit and through Apple. Now I can't receive normal text messages from non-iPhone users. I'm only receiving iMessages. The only way to fix it is to turn off iMessage, but that's one of the main features of the update. Help?

i may put my iphone in the toaster tonight i am so $%#@!*^ frustrated.
i have an iphone 4 which i upgraded to ios5 about 4 days ago. yesterday, i realized i wasn't able to receive any text messages, but was (and am still getting imessages), along with the ever-so-vague 'sms mailbox is full, delete some text messages' alert.
so i came to the internet to find out about the supposed 15mb (75k*) limit. Apple's solution on their own site was 'hey, crazy hoarder, why don't you delete some texts?? there you go, EASY PEAZY!' except that didn't work...for me, and a ton of other people apparently.
i came down from 76something to around 67k.
I hard restarted, i ignored it, i deleted more texts, i bought phoneview, i deleted MORE texts, more restarts, NOTHING. it has now been 48 hours with no texts. NEED I ASSURE YOU THAT I AM A VERY IMPORTANT PERSON (as we all are).
so i backed up my phone (again, as i did before the upgrade), and restored it to factory nothingness. restart. restart. stare blankly. no texts.
then, i go to restore from backup (via itunes) so i can at least get all my contacts and whatnot back. lo and behold, my backup is gone. only the option to set up my 'new' iphone. i delay utter panic for a brief second and silently pray to the angel steve, sitting upon his giant white icloud, remembering that i actually paid for extra icloud space and backed up to that as well.
now i'm just waiting for it to restore AT LEAST my contacts, which it now seems to have done by the time i've typed this. PARTIAL crisis averted.
alas, i STILL am not getting any text messages. it seems that calling apple does nothing since apparently no one was told about this and/or how to fix this. i cannot receive text messages from my boyfriend, my parents, my colleagues who all are iphoneless and better off than me at this point.
i am leaving for a business trip in 12 hours. i'd like to figure this out before i put this thing in the garbage disposal or violently smash and use it's parts as confetti. although by the time i do, i will probably have lost all my friends and been disowned by my family for ignoring their jokes / emoticons / cries for help.
i fear apple has become a sentient being, and this is it's way of forcing all people of earth to use iphones...for there will be no other way to communicate with each other once we evolve and are all born with giant thumbs instead of vocal chords...hold me im scared...
it's so dark here...

Gmail & Mail 3.0: Sudden new problems--can't receive or delete messages

For the last two days I've had very odd problems with Mail. They seemed to start out of the blue; the only thing new I've done in this time frame is get an iPhone, which I set up with imap/gmail (I installed Leopard long before these problems started). For a couple of days I was unable to send messages. Then suddenly last night I was able to send but now I can't receive or delete messages. Does anyone know what may be the problem and what to do? Thanks so much.

I'll add my sad story...
Since upgrading, one email account will not receive mail - says the server reject my password, although I can retrieve my mail from the web. It is a POP account, although I tried setting up another with the same settings but as an IMAP account, with no luck. Outgoing mail is fine and other accounts, such as .mac and gmail seem to work. Tried recreating the account as a new user (so no old preferences messing things up) and from a new mail program (Thunderbird), but still rejects my password. I will try from an 10.4 machine today to see if I can get my mail.

Android users can't receive my text messaging but their not able to get mine. Please help.

It isn't your issue, it is his. He needs to make sure he has turned of iMessage and removed his number from the iMessage database. If he does not still have the device, he needs to contact Apple Care to take care of it.

Can't receive groupp chat messages or files

Until literally an hour ago, skype worked fine. But recently, very suddenly, I could receive neither files nor messages in group chats (not sure if all chats or just some) unless I went offline and online again or restarted my client. I tried deleting my skype file in appdata, but that didn't work. I'm running an old version, 6.20.0.104, but I don't think that's the problem as, like I previously mentioned, it worked until an hour ago. Another friend has a similar problem, but his only pertains to a few chat rooms and nothing allows him to see the messages at all. He's running version 7.6.0.105. Neither of us has received any error message or other sign of things amiss, besides group chats not receiving messages. This resolved after a few minutes, but it's still VERY laggy and I'm worried it might relapse. Is there anything I can do, and suggest my friend do?

Is Cellular Data enabled?
Have you tried Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings?
Have you tried a reset or restart of the device?
Have you contacted the carrier?
Have you tried anything? If so, what?

Nokia 6233 can't receive SMS/text message

My Nokia 6233 stopped receiving SMS/text messages, although I can send messages and receive/make phone calls. I let the battery run flat and then recharged again. It received some messages but stopped receiving messages again a short time later. I must say I have not been letting my battery run flat on a regular basis. Is this the cause? I bought the phone 2 years ago.
I do have 600 plus messages in my phone- is this the cause too?
Cheers.

I don't think it is a battery issue. The more likely culprit is your memory getting almost full. Try deleting some old unwated messages or any other files. It is probably time to do a spring clean after 2 years.

I can't receive or send messages in my group.

I can receive and send messages just fine to individual people, but in the group my messages won't send.

I just want to be able to IM people. I already updated IE/re-installed skype. This isn't a problem on my end, it just started breaking randomly. My internet connection is fine and skype isn't broken, as you can tell by the fact that I can still send individual message.
Solved!

Hi. Due to the skype customer service system being total and complete astronomical **bleep** my friends and I struggled with this for ages and found some easy fixes and an answer to what we think is wrong.
First the answer:
Everyone in your group has to have a fully updated skype, everyone, even on their phones, or laptops or tablets or w/e. Every single person has to be fully updated.
I won't even start explaining why that's stupid or begin to question why skype, in all their glorious incompetence, didn't force roll this update.
That being said if you're still having trouble update internet explorer, because skype is dependent on outdated, unused, insecure technology.
The reason:
As far as I can tell skype switched recently how they control chat rooms with multiple people in it. I believe originally skype would randomly choose a host and a co-host (not the ones assigned as roles in the room).
When skype released their most recent update they changed their groups from being ran by your peers (the host and cohost) to being cloud hosted. This means that if not everyone is updated some people are referencing the cloud chat, some people are referencing the regular chat.
These skype roles are invisible to the users and if one (or maybe both) are not updated then the skype group won't work.
This is just a guess based on what I've observed. I don't care enough about skype to properly research it but
TLDR: Everyone in the group must be fully updated ON CREATION OF THE GROUP.
Seriously how many programmers does it take to write a group message room, basically my high school computer science final project.

Can't attach pictures/files in message??

If you have MMS set up on your cellular account (contact your carrier) and have MMS enabled in Settings>Messages, you should be able to send pictures. You can't send files most other types of files, though.

I suddenly can't receive files or video chat

Hi everyone.
All of a sudden I cannot receive files or other users video on ichat. Can anyone help me please? Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi
Try logging on to AIM on port 443 rather than port 5190.
Go to IChat in the menu bar > Preferences > Accounts.
Log out of AIM and then use the Server Settings tab
Set the port to 443.
Log back in again.
