I cannot send iMessages to some ppl who have an iPhone connected to the internet

My iPhone is not recognizing some other iPhones connected to the internet among my contacts. Hence we cannot use iMessages, e en though their iMessage option is switched on in the settings. In other cases i can send iMessages using their apple ID instead of their number. it is a bit complicated.
Any ideas?

Hey "AppleTechGenius"...you realize the thread you're posting to is almost two years old, & the OP has not posted since that original post, correct?

IPhone 4 cannot send/recieve calls/texts but is still able to connect to the internet. What is wrong with the phone and how do I fix it?

A friend of mine has an iPhone4 (not 4s) and she has been dropping it when she was drunk. She also lost it for nearly a week and it got handed back to her, luckily. She blocked the phone after she lost it so that other's couldn't use her contract (which is paid by her father). When she received the phone back, she asked O2 to unblock it an they gave her a new sim card and asked her to wait 24 hours. It started working again, for about a day, where she could receive and send texts/calls and Internet - the lot! But after that day, she can no longer get any signal on her phone to send or receive calls or texts. We have tried putting the sim card in another phone to see if that was the problem, but it worked fine with full signal, so we're guessing that O2 aren't the problem. I'm guessing that it is the phone but I'm not sure whether it's a hardware issue or software. We've recently installed the new iOS5 today and it still doesn't work correctly. Do you think that some hardware needs to be replaced? I was wondering if anyone knew if the phone signal and 3G signal run on the same antena or different ones in the 4S?
Thank you for your time and help in advance. Any help/knowledge will be much appreatiated.

oh my god, i can't believe i am having the exact same situation as yours. i lost my phone for about 2 weeks and got it back. when it was lost I asked O2 to block it and later I asked them to unblock it after I got my phone back. My internet seems to be working fine, but I cant receive or make calls. I went to apple store to tell them about that, they did a factory setting, but still can't get it working and later told me that its not the phone's fault but O2's fault because I could see the O2 on top, with no any bars and she assumed that i would not have been able to see the O2 written on top if it wasn't O2 fault. I told them that I can use the internet from O2 however, but in reply she asked me to show the internet (i still wonder what she meant by that), I tried to explain that the internet is from my data plan, but no... she insisted me on showing the internet, i wonder what exactly did she wanted to prove by that. Or maybe she was in a hurry to get home, because it was almost at the end of the day. Anyway I have changed my sim and it seems to be working fine on another phone, but its the same problem in my iphone 4. I haven't been able to use my phone for more than a month now and its really frustating. I have booked another appointment with apple day after tomorrow, just hoping for the best now

I can't send iMessage to some people who I used to be able to, prior to iOS7 upgrade.

I can't send iMessage to some people who I used to be able to, prior to iOS7 upgrade. I'm sure these people are still using iPhones. Is there something to do with my settings? Or theirs?

I got my problem solved but I'm not sure what solved it. I DFU mode my iPhone and then restarted it, the other person only restarted it and now we can iMessage normally. Recently I had the same issue with a new contact but the next day got solved but I didn't do anything.
I hope this gives you some answers insetad of more questions =S...
Regards.

On the wireless networks that your Mac has had trouble connecting to, do you know which Wireless Security type (WEP, WPA, or WPA2) is being used?
If it is WEP, one of the problems is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP. In order to make things easier, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling the use of simple easy to remember WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys. The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a non-Apple client and vice versa.

I have no problem connecting to the Internet but I cannot send or receive email on my iPod

I can connect to the Internet on my iPod and do all it is supposed to do but cannot send or receive email. This only happened 2 days ago. What might be the problem?

Could be the Apple servers. Try later.

Addresses exist in local AD/Exchange environment; possible to send to those addresses internally and have them route out to the internet?

Short story; Company A acquires Company B. B is still using their external mail system for a period of time before transititioning to A's email. After B moves to A's mail server, they will continue to receive mail to their legacy addresses/domains
(companyb.com) for a period of time. B already has objects defined in A with a companya.com SMTP address. Is it possible to prestage B's objects with their legacy SMTP addresses, while at the same time allowing users from A to send messages
to B's legacy SMTP addresses and have it route out to the internet and not to B's local mailbox?
I realize that Exchange is first going to determine if the address is local, and if so deliver it, which is what is happening. But is there a rule/exception that can bypass that such that @companyb.com will go out a send connector even if the address
exists locally?

No. If the exact SMTP address exists in the org, it will never leave the Exchange org when sent from an authenticated user.

I am overseas and cannot send emails although I can receive them and I can use the internet

How do I change email settings to send emails whilst I am overseas? I can receive them but not send them. I can access the internet

"Cannot send message using the server" pops up every time I try to send an email. I can receive emails just fine. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
You have a setting incorrect in the outgoing mail settings. Either the port is wrong or the server is wrong.
Please post what the server is and the port it is using. It should be something like POP.XXX.com/net or Mail.xxx.com/net.

How do i send to a wireless printer when I have a cable connection to the internet? I have wireless

I want to send to my secretary's wireless printer, but I have an ethernet cable connecting my computer to the internet. Can I have both an internet and wireless connection so I can use the wireless network to send to her printer?

Is your computer connected to the same local network as your secretary's? If you have a router that provides both the wireless and wired network access for your business it should be possibe to access the printer wirelessly. In my setup here I have a combination of wired and wireless computers accessing a couple of wireless printers as well as three on the wired network. You may need to configure your router to allow the wored and wireless segments to communicate through your router. I will move this post to the Printer Networking and Wireless forum for better responses.
It would probably help to give some details of the printer model as well as the details of your router and woreless connections.

Whenever I try to use Firefox I get a message cannot load page, this problem just started today, I can connect to the internet through Internet Explorer, what should I do?

Today, whenever I try to use Firefox I get a message about Problem loading page. Cannot connect to internet, yet I can connect without any problems if I use Internet Explorer.

HT1386 For some reason my iTunes will not connect to the internet even though the computer is connected. Any ideas?

Unable to start sync because iTunes will not connect to internet. Computer is connected but iTunes will not connect. I even deleted iTunes and downloaded again. Will not connect still.

I am experiencing this problem as well.
I have access to the internet and can download songs from the music store but iTunes is being its usual pain in the rear and says I do not have an internet connection when I try to download any updates.
This does not seem to be a firewall issue, at least as far as I can tell, as I have McAfee and both iTunes and iTunes Helper have Full Access in my firewall settings.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Some Apps won't connect to the internet

Dear All:
I am having some strange behavior. Some of my Apps will not connect to the internet, while others have no problem. Sometimes this happens for a few days and then things are all right, and then it starts again.
Today, for example, the Google Mail App, says that it can't connect to the internet and to retry. Retrying doesn't help. I removed and reinstalled the App and it didn't help.
If I go to gmail.com on Safari, I have no problem.
There are other Apps like this, that won't work from the desktop, but do work from Safari.
So I assume that there is some different way Safari and Apps go to the internet. I have no firewalls on my modem.
If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate hearing.
Thank you.

Try resetting your network settings.

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.

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.

Go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. Also, since you have IOS-7, read this.

They would have to have your name in their contacts and then assign your email address to your contact. It's similar to receiving a regular text message from a phone number you do not have saved in your contacts; their phone number will show up instead of their name, but once you add them to your contacts their name will show up.
