It allows me to type in a message, add a smiley but then nothing. Help please ,in language this old brain of mine can decipher )

Hi,
Some of us do have the advantage of using iChat before we moved to Messages - which is where on the Mac we learnt to send by using the Enter Key.
Messages does add the ability to Send to iOS devices using iMessages and is almost as old as your Mac and we have all been trying to find out how it works.
Glad to have helped and
Thanks for the Points

Help! Can't send SMS messages from 4S

I can't send picture messages. Regular messages work and imessage works but can't send picture messages from there either. Anyone having issues with this?

Have you try setting your MMS prior in sending the pictures?

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.

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.

I can receive I message but can't send I message

Help....I can receive an I message....but can't send one, or reply to one!

My best guess is that you are accidentally typing in the subject field without realizing it and when you try to send the message, it will not go through. Unless there is text in the text area - and not just in the subject field, the message will not send.
Like I said, that's only a guess. Try using the subject field again, but make sure that you are also typing the message in the text field and see if the message will send. You can always turn the subject field off again if it will not work. If I leave the subject field turned on, I can still text, as long as I type the message in the line below the subject field.

Can't send audio messages from Nokia E63 to email ...

I used to send audio messages from my mobile to my friend's email, and it worked fine.
But some days ago it stopped working. I keep on seeing this whenever I try to send audio message.
"In order to send/download MM messages, the current active connection may be closed (this may affect other applications in use). Do you want to continue ?"
When I disconnected connection, it fails to send again. I saw this message:
"Multimedia message cannot be sent. Packet data connection not available"
It is impossible for me to send the audio message if I close the connection because I'm not having internet in my phone.
I have been using packet data connection to send all the messages to email all the time and it went OK. I got that problem just a few days ago and I cannot send any audio messages now.
I can still send normal emails (non-audio message) from my phone through packet data connection though.
The problem is only when sending the audio message.
I'm using Nokia E63 and I'm in the UAE.
My mobile provider is "Du".
I use packet data connection from "MyWorld"
I don't have any other packet data connections. I had many but now, MyWorld is the only one in my phone.
Please help me how can I do it.

Automatic configuration.
Your mobile will be automatically configured to access the MyWorld mobile portal when you first join du.
You will receive an SMS message, which you should accept and save.
You can also request for these settings by sending the following SMS message “du” to 333 or by calling Customer Care on 155.
Availability of the MyWorld mobile portal and of the relevant settings is dependent on your handset type.
For more information on MyWorld, call 155 from your mobile or visit us at www.du.ae
This might do the trick.

My husband and I share an iTunes account. I just got a mac, but everything I send by message from the mac appears to come from his phone. How do I correct this?

My husband and I share the itunes account. I just got an iMac. Everytime I send a message from my iMac, it appears to come from my husband's account phone number. Is there any way to fix this? Also, when I open iMessages, all the texts are from his phone (his text conversations).
Thank you so much for your help!
Myrna

Try This:
Open up the imessage app on your Imac. Once you have it opened go to top left corner of your screen next to the apple picture and the word MESSAGES appears. Click on it then click on preferences and uncheck your husbands phone and number and or any other numbers which are checked. I had same problem this fixed it. Also if you wanted to you can open up your own Apple account, but that's not really necessary. My wife and I both share the same as you do

Tried to send iMessage from iPod touch (5th generation) but continuously says "contact not registered with iMessage". The contact IS registered with iMessage, but won't send any messages to anyone.

I have an iPod touch 5th generation (7.1.2) that has not been sending iMessages to other iMessage users. At first my iPod would not let me sign in to use iMessage, but I searched on different discussion boards that helped me log in. Now the trouble is not being able to send messages at all. I tried to delete the contact I was trying to message and restart the conversation board, but that didn't help at all. The contact continues to say 'xxxxxx not registered with iMessage" when, in fact, they are. I need help to resolve this issue.
Thanks

Hi, so I followed the instructions from Google and got my Gmail set up on my Nokia Nuron. But for some reason, I can *receive* messages but I can't *send* e-mails. A bit annoying.
I checked and double-checked the instructions and my settings and everything seems to be correct.
Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance!!

I am receiving Imessages but I am sending text messages I have Imessage turned on?

My fiance is sending me Imessages but whenever I message her back I send text messages and it only happens with her

Take the device to Apple for evaluation.

I tried to use iMessage, but I couldnt send the message because the send button was gray

Any help here?

The iPad has no cell voice capability (text messages, I.e. SMS, is not sent over cell data) so you can't send normal text messages as it is not a phone. There are apps such as TextFree that will allow you to send SMS.

I can't send emails remotely from my MacBook Pro - only from home.

I can't send emails from my MacBook Pro from anywhere but home. Suggestions??
Thanks!
KL

Typically that happens when your mail service provider is also your ISP, and you connect to it from another network. The SMTP server will allow connections without a password from anywhere, but it will only relay mail from within the ISP's network.
If you need to send mail from outside your ISP's network, use an independent mail service provider. I don't have a specific recommendation.
