I turned my imessage off on accident and I turned it back on right away and now my messages only send as text messages
When you turned it on right away, did it complete the activation process? When you go into Settings>Messages, does it show as activated? If not, then turn it off, wait about 15 seconds and then turn it on again. It should activate right away. If not, then see this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4268

I've been texting my friend with iMessage with wifi on and all of a sudden it changed to text message and won't let me send messages. My wifi is still on and working but it won't switch back to iMessage. Please help
What I recommend you try doing first is to turn iMessage off then back on. If that doesn't work, make sure that your Apple ID and password are correct. If everything seems correct and you still can't send out messages using iMessage instead of text message, I think you should either try calling AppleCare at 1-800-MY-IPHONE (1-800-694-7466) and/or scheduling an appointment at the Genius Bar at an Apple Store (that is, if there's one close to you).
Hope this helps! -
IMessage automatically sends as SMS even if turned off in the Settings. Is this a bug for ios 6.0.1?
I know there's still bugs for iMessage and so when I'm not on wifi but the iMessage is turned on, I don't wait for the iMessage to fail sending. I press and hold the message to send it as text message instead immediately. Then the recepient tells me that they receive my text messages twice. So what I did today, I sent an iMessage without being connected to wifi and let it attempt to send and let it fail. To my surprise, after failing as iMessage, it automatically sent as an SMS when I had that setting turned off. Do I make sense? Do you guys also experience the same problem?
When imessage is unavailable it sends it as SMS - that is normal see link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3529

I am from the Philippines btw. What I meant is, I cannot text someone ordinarily when the net is turned on, and it assumes to be texting through iMessage. How will I text someone without turning off the internet in an ordinary way, not in iMessage? Thank you.
I Tried that already, but if i turned it off, I cannot send an imessage to people I want to text through imessage. There are people in my contacts that when I text, it is automatically as text message, while there are some that when I text, it is through iMessage automatically, and I just want through text message also. And for the latter, I still need to turn off the wifi in my phone for them to be texted through iMessage, which is more hassle.

my iphone 5S will send texts as imessage but frequently switches to regular (green) messages even for people that I know use imessage - since we have exchanged (blue) messages previously. Is there something I can do to fix this or is it a unit problem?
Please help.You can try to log out of iMessage and then sign back in. However, even under optimal conditions, iMessage will not always work. That's why the option of 'Send as SMS' is so important. There might be temporary outages in the related iMessage servers.

Just moved from iphone to Samsung s3 but everytime an iphone user texts me it thinks my sim is still in an iphone device and send the text as imessagner so i dont receicve the message
Do you still have the iphone? I know this has been an issue with phones that were lost or stolen, but if you still have your iphone try going into settings on that iphone and turn off imessage. See if that helps,certainly cannot do any harm.

My friend switched his phone number from an iPhone to a Blackberry. My phone still wants to use iMessage to send him a text and won't let me send it as a text unless I turn off iMessage on my phone. Is there a fix for this?

TechCrunch posted a solution today that applies to this problem, I think.
Go to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
Click your old iPhone and "unregister" it.

Hi, My name is Cassie.
I bought my iPod off of amazon just around the end of January of this year (2012). Last night I was playing around on my iPod. Listening to pandora, and editing pictures. I got to a picture and clicked edit, and then my iPod shut off. It rebooted itself and seemed to be running as if nothing had happened. I put my music back on and went back to the picture and tried to edit it again. I clicked the edit button and the ipod shut off again. This time, it kept rebooting. It went to the apple symbol to turn on and about thirty seconds, the time it normally takes to turn on, the whole screen went white and then shut off and tried rebooting again. It kept doing this over and over again. After a while, it did eventually stop, but only to a completely white screen. It was like that all night long because I fell asleep. (gave up on it). It is now the afternoon and after I held the lock button and the home button down the screen when off. I let it sit for about a half an hour, then I tried turning it on again. But it still is doing the same thing. I have no idea what I could have done to make it do this. Unfortunalty, I am not home to connect it to my own iTunes, but regaurdless, it wont even connect to the computer. I did have my ipod plugged in the whole time it was rebooting and shutting off last night. It was connected to my wall jack which normally works fine. But even having it plugged into the computer as it is now, its still doing the same thing. I am dissapointed that I might end up loosing everything that I have on it. I have not been able to sync it to my computer to save all the apps and pictures and music I have stored on it. I really do hope I can get some help or advice!
Thank You!!

I used to be able to send I messages from my iPhone 4 now in settings it's telling me "waiting for activivation". I have tried lots of things to resolve this but to no avail. Please help....
If you are getting Siri when you double tap, then your home button must be sticking. Siri comes up when you hold the home button. Try tapping quickly twice. When that happens, the multi-tasking list comes up and you will see the app icon and then a thumbnail, or reduced size view of the app above it. You put your finger on that thumbnail and swipe upwards with your finger.
For that issue, you might want to do a reset of the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. This will not affect your data.
To be honest, your novel is a little difficult to read, and I think you put too much information in there, and a lot of it is unnecessary. Be to the point and just add information necessary to understand the issue. -
So, my iphone 5 will be no where close to dying but when I go to slide to unlock it turns off then turns back on. Or if I go to my camera it turns off and right back on. What's going on?

If I have cellular capabilities turned on, can I send a text message to any type of cell phone using iMessage? Or do I need a app such as Text Plus to do this. I have a New iPad. Thanks for any info.
iMessagel is basically an online chat kinda service. It does not use a carrier service to send text message. It only does instant messages. At least on the iPad side. iPhones are given to choise of sending via iMessage and text depending on the receiver.

1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.

2)
Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Then on the iPod go to
- Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.
- Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that under You can be reached at only her ID email address is listed
- Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with hers

I'm sorry, you are correct I am trying to restore my ipad because it stopped working. We thought the battery was dead so we plugged it into the wall charger. All it does when plugged in is flash the apple logo like it is going to start up and then shut off. It repeats this every few seconds while it is plugged into the wall. I let it charge overnight and still nothing.
When I hold the power button and the home button down together while the ipad is plugged into the wall, it does flash then after I release the power button the connect to itunes screen comes on. But when I connect it to my computer it goes blank. itunes does not recongnize my ipad when I plug it into the computer. I have used the same cord to plug in my other devices and itunes recongnizes them so it isn't the usb cord.
It seems as if my system has crashed and I think this may just be an apple service trip for me. But thanks so much for the advice. =D -
Had message on my iphone 4 this morning that I needed to plug it into itunes. Did this but could only get a blank screen with apple symbol on it. Tried to do a system restore but keep getting the message that it couldn't finish restoring
Try a Hard Reset.....
Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button AND the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen, it can take 10 or more seconds. Ignore the swipe to turn off message.
