I cannot send iMessages, but my phone still receives iMessages.

For the past two days, my phone has not been sending iMessages, but has still been receiving them from others. When I try to send an iMessage, it will continue to try to send it for hours and hours, rather than just sending it as a text message.
I have tried turning my phone on and off, turning iMessage on and off, and turning my cellular data on and off. None of this has worked.
Is anyone else having this problem, and if so, do you know how to fix it?

Go into Settings>Messages and see if it is turned on and if it is, does it show that it is activated. Try turning it off and then back on again and see what happens.

contact your phone carrier.

I changed my phone number and now I cannot send iMessages or make calls on FaceTime (only receive) on my macbook. Currently my iMessage settings say I can be reached at my apple id email. My FaceTime currently says I can be reached at my apple id email.

IMessage Problem: cannot send iMessage to a specific contact!

So here is the problem:
It's about 24 hours I cannot send iMessage to a specific contact only! Both of us have access to the internet and both of us can send iMessages to other contacts.
We have tried rebooting the phone, and turning iMessage on and off.
If it matters, we both live in Sweden and use different MNOs but still we are both on Wifi and cannot send and receive iMessages.
Could anyone give me and idea of what to do?!
Oh..and Apple...your iMessage is reaaaaaaally bougus.. do something about this pile of crap.

I had this problem with my sister living in Austria and I am in the States and at first I wondered if it was some international problem.
Are you sure you both have your apple ID's programmed into your contacts? For some reason it wasn't registering my sister's phone number as an iPhone but when I added her apple ID e-mail, it sends fine. I just have to iMessage her to THAT particular e-mail. That's the only way I was able to sort this same problem. iMessaging her to that e-mail works just fine.
I've iMessaged people in the states before just using their phone number only and not having their apple ID e-mail but with messaging to my sister in Austria, I have to use her e-mail. Wondering if anyone else has this issue with international iMessaging? I've iMessaged someone in Australia before with just their phone number and it worked fine so maybe it's completely random? I don't know. But definitely check and see if you have their apple ID in there in their contact information and try to iMessage them on that. See if it works! It did for me.

It seems I cannot send imessage from the ipad when the mac is turned off. I have recently upgraded the mac to 10.8.4

My problem started after installing "smartsync app" which is supposed to sync my phone with the profilepage photos of my friends in facebook. All my apps crashed after using them for awhile.While using my apps, they will black out after a little while and the phone returns to the starting page. I have removed the smartsync app but my phone still behaves the same way. At the same time the dates that accompany my messages changed to another language. How can these be rectified?

Eek. Sounds like something in the app caused some serious software issues. You can try a hard reset, but I'd imagine you're probably going to have to do an iTunes restore to get it running right again.

Cannot send mail but get receive mail

Cannot send mail but can receivr mail

I had this problem, too, when I took my laptop to work and tried to send mail using their wireless settings. (I have never had this problem with wireless internet at home.) After a lot of research it appeared to be a port issue. Apple and Yahoo directed me to contact AT&T, my email server provider, to inquire if there was another port setting or off-line port that could be used. This turned out to be too complicated because I had to get my boss's wireless codes, etc. I got around the whole thing by logging into my email through Yahoo rather than Apple's Mail program. This allowed me to send emails at work with no problems. Hope this helps.

TS3276 I cannot send mail but i do receive it

I cannot send mail but do recieve it, what do I write in Imap path prefix?

Oh, its not as "strange" as you might think.
The problem is SPAM. Internet Service Provider (ISPs) are struggling to prevent outsiders - or their own customers - from sending huge amounts of SPAM.
To do this, they have to make regular changes to how e-mail is handled. My guess, based on what you have told me so far, is that your ISP has made a change to how e-mails are sent.
This means you have to find out what that change was and adjust your Mail account settings. Hopefully your ISP has a "Support" web page where there is a step-by-step How To document that will lead you through this.

I changed my email on my iphone but my phone still says my old email, how do i change it?

The guy i bought my iPhone 4s from messed up my email on my phone so now i cant get apps ive changed my email on here and my password , but my phone still has the old one and when i try and get an app it & i type in my password it says my password is incorrect when it is. so my question is how do i fix it?

Settings>Store...tap the ID shown...sign out...sign back in with the ID you want to use.

HT201263 did the restore as instructed, but the phone still wants a passcode. Itunes recognizes my phone, but i don't remember the passcode. Now what?

I don't remember my passcode. So, I did the restore as instructed (turned phone off, plugged it into computer w/ home key pressed until iTunes came on). It asked if I wanted to restore the phone. I clicked yes. It went through the motions, downloaded whatever, recognized my phone, etc., BUT my phone still asks for a passcode. Now what?

Restore as new, not from a backup.

HT1386 I purchased a new computer but my phone still has my old computer in the sync with itunes how do I change it to my new computer?

I purchased a new computer but my phone still has my old computer in the sync through wi-fi how can I change this?

Thanks for posting this, I have same problem and was just about to ask same question. Any help gratefully received. I have tried to look for the answer on these forums but although I have found the question again there doesnt seem to have been a reply.
I have changed to a mac but on both my phone & my i pad it says will resume sync when (old)PC is available however when i sync both of them on my Mac it appears to do a sync but doesnt say so on i pad or i phone.
Thanks

My iphone 4s screen has gone blank but the phone still works

Hello antspeaks,
It sounds as though screen curtain has been enabled on your iPhone. This can be disabled by tapping three times with three fingers on your iPhone's screen.
Turn the screen curtain on or off. Triple-tap with three fingers. When the screen curtain is on, the screen contents are active even though the display is turned off.
