I cannot receive group messages from some people but can from others.

Everyone receives my messages but in some conversations I do not receive messages from them.  In other conversations it works just fine.  Cannot find a difference between conversations.  All conversations were with iPhone users

Hi katiebennett09!
I am here to further assist you today. When you have a group message that comes in, right above where you type in your message you should have an option "Group Conversation" or "Individual Messages". Let's check to see if it is set on the Group Conversation. If it is, go ahead and switch it to individual then switch it back to Group. Then test out the group message again. Another thing I would recommend is to go into Messaging, Tap on Menu in the lower left, Tap on Settings, under the section Multimedia Message Settings make sure there is a check mark in the Auto Retrieve. Please, keep us posted.

  • Can't receive group messages from other iPhones

    Why can't I receive group messages from other IPhones? Apparently they can see mine, but I can only see the messages of the one friends who has a Andriod phone.

    Your iMessage needs to be activated correctly.  Try looking here:

  • TS2755 Cannot receive text messages from other iPhone users.

    My iPhone cannot receive messages from other iPhone users after updating to ios7. I do not have internet access on my iPhone. Sender tell me the message has failed.

    If they are trying to send you iMessages, & you don't have any Internet access, the message will fail, as iMessage requires a data connection.

  • I switched from the iPhone to an android and cannot receive text messages from iPhone users. any solutions?

    I switched from an iPhone to an android and cannot receive text messages from iPhone users. Any solutions?

    Call AppleCare and ask them to deactivate iMessage. It might take awhile to become effective.

  • I can call out but all incoming calls are going directly to VM with no signal that I missed a call or have VM. I can send/receive text messages from other iPhone/iPad/iTouch users, I am assuming this is really "iMessage." Is it apple software?

    I have spent hours on the phone with Apple and AT&T. I went thought reset, on/off, etc, etc with both companies to no avail. Each company pointed fingers at the other....as being the source of the problem.
    Problems: Suddenly ALL  incoming calls were going directly to VM with no signal I missed calls and/or had VM. I was also unable to receive all Text Messages...Oddly, I could send text messages to anyone (even non-apple users but I could not receive their responses)........then I when I got home I started receiving text messages from other apples users ONLY. I assume now - iMessage kicked in and I could text (send/receive)  other iPhone/iPad/iTouch users ONLY. ....yes, I could still (send) text messages to my husband's blackberry (he received my messages fine) but my phone would NOT receive his text respones.
    Finally, I googled the problem and found this community where other people have had the exact same problems! One person said he "turned off 3 G" which was the solution for him....so I did the same and VIOLA! My problem  solved! Nevermind the fact that I pay for 3G and cannot use it....so here's my question, if 3G is the problem on my phone is this an APPLE issue or a NETWORK problem? Do I purchase a new phone and slip in my same SIM card and hope the same does not occur or do I get a whole new SIM card and phone? What is the long term resolution to this problem?
    I am happy however to find that my problem is NOT an isolated incident and wish Apple or AT&T had told me this is not so uncommon because I thought (based on the baffled response from Apple) that this has never occurred before.  Where is Steve Jobs when we need him?

        jsavage9621,
    It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect.  This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone.  It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here.  I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you.  I look forward to speaking with you.

  • I CANNOT RECEIVE INCOMING EMAILS ON MY MAC BUT CAN SEND?

  • I cannot recieve I messages from other people. My friends have tried sending it to my mobile number and it will not go through to my phone. I can I message them, but it goes through as my email(AppleID), not my mobile number.

    I have reset my phone, logged out and back into my AppleID, and have been searching for answers and nothing seems to be the solution. Please help! I am worried I am not getting important messages from other people.

    Well, All they ( your friends ) have to do is to add your email address with which you can and will send them iMessages to your contact in their Phone.
    Then they will be able to send you iMessages through your email address ( in your case Apple ID )
    Also I'm not sure for iPHone 4s, but I think in the iMessage settings you can choose how can people send you iMessages, by phone number or you can also list a few email addresses and choose one as primary.  ( this is confirmed on iPhone 5 or later )
    Good Luck

  • How to receive WM_USER messages from other applicatio​ns in LabVIEW

    I'm trying to receive WM_User messages from LV and from non-LV applications. Using the VIs from NIs Windows Message Queue.llb
    it seems to work with standard WM_messages only (e.g. 0x0200 WM_MOUSEMOVE). What I'm looking for is a way to receive
    programatically sent messages (by SendMessageA from user32.dll) in LabVIEW.
    Are there any ideas or hints?
    Greetings

    I got it to work with
    PostMessageA, message 0x8000. It works with occurrence drive or polling
    drive. I used U32 for all the function inputs. I used the original dll
    and LabVIEW 7.1.1. This, at least, shows that it works between two
    windows in the same process.
    Stupid me! Of course!
    SendMessage waits for the message to be handled and the return value of
    the message be provided by the target window before returning.
    Apparently Windows has some protection built into SendMessage to avoid
    deadlocks by checking if the target window message loop runs in the
    same thread as the one calling SendMessage and in that case reverts
    possibly to PostMessage for known WM_xxx messages and just simply
    returns for unknown messages. If it wouldn't do that you would end up
    blocking in SendMessage for indefinite time as it waits for the message
    to be handled which never will happen since the thread handling the
    message loop is blocking on SendMessage.
    PostMessage always places the message in the windows message queue and
    returns immediately avoiding possible deadlocks in this way.

  • Can't receive text messages from other iphone users but can receive them from non-iphone users

    I had to recently reinstall mavericks to my MacBook and suddenly I haven't been able to receive text messages from iphone users on my iphone.  I can send them but not receive them.  Recently I was able to receive a text from an iphone user who turned off his imessages before he texted me.  That came through. Of course, this would be difficult to ask every iphone user i know to turn off imessages in order text me.  I've also tried to turn off my imessage on my macbook, iphone and ipad and still can't receive them.  Lastly, I've also tried resetting my networking settings and that didn't help either.  Any suggestions???

    I am having the same problem minus the fact that I don't have a Mac computer I just can't receive any messages from iPhone users and I can't turn my iMessage back on at all it keeps just turning it off every time I try to turn it on. any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • I cannot receive text messages from one friend in a group message. Any hints?

    I am in a group message with all iphones and one nokia. I have recently not been able to receive messages from one of the iphone users in the message. When he tries to respond it sends it in a new message without me (everyone else gets them). Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

    This has nothing to do with entires in Contacts. Tell your friend who's messages don't reach you:
    Settings > Messages > Goup Messages > ON, Send as SMS > ON
