I can't send a message on iMessage?

So, about 2 months ago, one of my friends (she lives on the other side of Canada BTW) sent me a text message on iMessage. So then I sent her—or tried to send her—a text back. But then the text bubble had a red circle with a white exclamation mark next to it, and "Not Delivered" below it. I'm sure that this isn't an internet issue, I searched this up before, and it said that it has something to do with the person that you're sending the text to having a newer OS than you but having an older iPod touch. I have a 4th generation iPod touch, and iOS 5.1.

Can't send text message only iMessages on iOS 8

Afree I updated to IOS 8 I can only send imessages. Once you start a imessage conversation it stays as iMessage even after you turn off your wifi and data. This only occurs for people that have iPhones though! I have tried resetting the network settings, restarting my phone, and deleting the conversation.

I am having the same issue I thing what the guy is trying to say is if you're sending messages to someone that has the same phone it will automatically send as an iMessages. but if the person is not connected to wifi or data you need to send it as SMS. So Im trying to send it as SMS but it will stay as an iMessage."We all know if the recipient is not connected to wifi he/she can not receive the imessage"
so the question here how to change it as sms?
here's what I did so far....
turn off/turn on
settings/iMessages off
settings/iMessages on/send as sms on
Still does the same thing...
the only thing that I'm seeing is when you send it immediately tap and hold onto the bubble and it will popup option send it as sms
but what is the function of "Send as SMS Turned on" it says there send as SMS when iMessage is unavailable. Carrier messaging rates may apply.?

Can't send text message only iMessage

After current OS update to 10.9.5 iMessage appears to function differently.
Previously one had the option to "send as text message" if the recipient was not registered in iMessage.
I cannot find this option any longer.
Please advise.

Can you send an SMS on iMessage on a Mac if your iPhone is dead?

Can you send an SMS on iMessage on a Mac if your iPhone is dead?

No, only Messages to other devices with the Apple Messages app. With Continuity the Mac sends the SMS to the phone via wifi/BT and the phone actually sends it.

On my iPad I can only send I messages but not all my friends have apple products how can I set it up that other messages are send to

On my iPad I can only send iMessages but not all my friends have an I pad or iPhone how can I send other messages too

You will need to download a texting App from the App Store. I have seen Text + recommended on the forum.

TS3274 I can't send text message to some people in my contacts

I can not send text messages from iPad air to some of my contacts. I can send from iPhone

1. Messages on the iPad can only be sent to other iDevices and Mac Computers running Mountain Lion.
2. They must also be registered with iMessage
Note: The two above conditions must be met.

Cannot send text message or iMessage?

I recently upgraded to iOS7 (like everyone else) and today cannot send text messages or iMessage. I can make phone calls and use other internet services. Any ideas?

Hi shelmig1!
Sorry to learn of any issues since upgrading to iOS7. Let's try some troubleshooting! Do you find that this issue is only for other iPhone users, or does it happen with all messages? Are you able to receive messages? Please reset your network settings: Settings/General/Reset/Reset Network Settings. Keep us posted on the results, thanks!

How can I send a message from database to a J2EE application?

How can I send a message from database to a J2EE application?
If I have a codetable in database that has new or modified values I have to refresh the codetable in my J2EE application.
Most effective way would be send a message to initiate a table reload from J2EE app, but I don't know how to do this.
Now I have a background thread that regular reads the table and looks for changes.

http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/integration/bam/10.1.3/TechNotes/TechNote_BAM_AQ_Configuration.pdf
This document details how to create triggers on a table that send out JMS messages.
In this example, the messages are going to Oracle BAM.. your message could go to your J2EE application listening to its own topic/queue.
an alternative idea.
you could also just cache your lookup table with something like Oracle Coherence and than try to ensure that all changes to the lookup go through Coherence, so that you won't need to do notification from the db up to the application. the application and the lookup data management tool would be using the data grid for management of the lookup table data, and the data grid (coherence) would persist the lookup data changes back to the db.

How can I send a message to multiple contacts using "groups".

How can I send a message to multiple contacts using "groups".
It was easy on my sony ericssonn....do i need to download an app?

There is no group send option like you are looking for.
To send to a group you have to pick each person you want to send to and send as a group that way. Then don't delete that SMS thread and you can reuse it again later.
As for an app, well SMS works via your carrier and the OS, not something an App can do unless the app send the data to them (a third party) and then they relay it to the carrier. Do you really want to be sending your SMS to some 3rd party first?
