I5 6.1.2 update... Imessage not working wifi wont automatically connect... battery life possibly shortened

I message NOT working... cannot send large files through sms... occassionally I can get it to connect but soon as I leave wifi it wont reconnect to wifi OR let me use imessage again... Getting really irritated.. switched to iphone because of the lack of glitches... maybe time to go off the grid...
Help please

The solution that worked for me was to Backup and then Restore.
For the backup: you can do it via iTunes (plug the iPhone and right click over its icon on the Devices section and then choose Back Up) or download your photos, contacts and other important documents to your Mac using iPhoto (just download your photos) or apps like My Contacts Back Up (it will email you the full list so you can upload it to the iPhone later). Make sure you backup properly please!
After you have done the back up choose Restore in iTunes and that will erase all the files and apps from the iPhone so it will be back to the settings it had on the day you used it for the first time (you'll be able to recover all the apps you paid for since they'll be linked to the Apple ID you used to purchase them).
The iPhone will still have the latest version of iOS (6.1.3) so if the problem is -like in most cases- software related it would be fixed and you'll able to pair the device again. If not maybe you will have to downgrade the  iOS to the previous version.
Hope this helps!

  • IOS 6 update - iMessage not working

    Anyone else having trouble with the iMessage after updating to iOS 6?
    I updating Wednesday morning and after my bf updated too I can't send iMessage to him. It doesn't come up delivered and he doesn't receive them. Can anyone help me?
    Another update needed to fix this apple!!!

    I got mine to work. I rebooted the phone, deleted the previous string of messages from my GF, went in through contacts, selected her again, sent her a message... the first went out as a text then she responded and iMessage is working again.
    You may not have to delete the string. I just did it to break and reset the link.
    Hope this helps.

  • IMessage not working even after 'fix'

    My iMessage on my iPhone 4 is not working. Phone is updated to most recent update. Sends iMessages to some people but not others and the people who I cannot send to also can't send to me, regardless of being on wifi or mobile network. I have tried the turn off imessage, reset network settings etc but still no improvement. Would be very helpful if anyone could give me some advice?

    Macrumors posted a solution for this.  I used it and it seems to have worked for me.
    Here's what they said:
    1. Turn off iMessage in Settings > Messages
    2. Reset networking settings in Settings > General > Reset
    3. Reenable iMessage in Settings > Messages

  • IMessage not working on new Macbook Pro.

    iMessage not working on new Macbook Pro. Issue began after I downloaded latest version of Mountain Lion.  After every message it says delivered then immediately a red circle with exclamation point says message not delivered.  Any ideas?

    I can also no longer text on my computer or iPad.  Fine on iPhone.  Same as you - I can see everything up until a specific day.  But I didn't do any kind of update where it should have stopped.  And it stopped working on my computer and iPad at the same time.

  • Windows update does not work after using System recovery disk

    I have a Toshiba Satellite c655 with WIndows 7 64 bit Home premium. The hard drive died on it, so I purchased a new hard drive and purchased the appropriate Recovery media from Toshiba. I followed the directions and installed the 3 disks on to the new hard drive. But Windows update does not work I get the following error: Windows update can not currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your PC    No matter what I try, I can not get it to work. And it will not let me install Windows Defender either. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time on this matter.
    Solved!

    I get errors saying A problem is preventing the troubleshooter from starting.
    That makes two similarities to the following thread. Both Windows Update and Troubleshooters fail to work correctly.

    The fix was to install a new hard disk driver.

  • Safari is not working on the Mac. Internet is fine, mail, App Store etc all working and connecting to Internet fine. Done the latest software update, still not working. When selecting a web address from bookmarks or typing in search bar, partial blue bar.

    Safari is not working on the Mac. Internet is fine. mail, App Store etc all working and connecting to Internet fine. Done the latest software update, still not working. When selecting a web address from bookmarks or typing in search bar, partial blue bar only and coloured wheel appears.

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
    If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.
    If extensions aren't causing the problem, see below.

  • I DON'T WANT TO UPGRADE OR HAVE AN ADD ON EVER, DISABLING UPDATES DOES NOT WORK, HOW DO I KILL ALL MEASAGES FOR UP GRADES AND ADD ON'S FOR EVER, ONCE AND FOR ALL, COMPLETELY, THE END AND NEVER BE BOTHERED AGAIN EVER!

    I DON'T WANT TO UPGRADE OR HAVE AN ADD ON EVER, DISABLING UPDATES DOES NOT WORK, HOW DO I KILL ALL MESSAGES FOR UP GRADES AND ADD ON'S FOR EVER, ONCE AND FOR ALL, COMPLETELY, THE END AND NEVER BE BOTHERED AGAIN EVER! ALSO IF I KILL MYSELF I WILL HOLD YOU PERSONALTY RESPONSIBLE.edit

    There is a world of information in these forums if you use the search function near the top right of this page. Just type in NAS for example and you get many threads on the subject (marked with a green checkmark if it solved the question) another example would be Airport Exterme and sound system. Once you formulate your ideas better then specific questions can be addressed one at a time. You may find that a less expensive choice for a server might be a mac mini. Good luck with your project, ask more specific questions and update you systems profile.

    My auto updates are not working! I cannot find where to download Camera Raw 8.1 for Photoshop CS6 (Windows 8 64 bit). My Camera Raw is now at 7.1. I had the online Adobe folks tell me to just download all updates manually. That's great, yet I cannot find camera raw 8.1 to download...
    Please help.
