IMessage Activation Failing for Google Apps Hosted Email Addresses

I'm having failuers when I try to add additional emails addresses to iMessage on iOS 7.0.4.  It appears that the failure has to do with email being hosted on non-primary systems.  example:
[email protected]  verifies
[email protected]  failes  MX record says google.com
[email protected] verifies
[email protected] which is hosted on prodigy servers, failes. MX record resolves to prodigy.net
Is there a work around for this.  resending the validation email doesn't seem to make a difference.

This was entirely my fault.  I had two different AppleIDs with which I was trying to use the same email address.

  • IMessage activation fails: could not sign in

    iMessage activation fails: could not sign in. It waits for activation endlessly.
    The issue started with contacts not being available for iMessage. I ended up not being able to sign in on both Mac and iPhone. Everything works fine on my iPad though.
    Any ideas other than those posted around here? iMessage is becoming a real pain.

  • Trouble sending to google apps hosted domains

    We recently migrated to a new AD domain with a new Exchange 2013 box.  Prior to that we were on Exchange 2007 in a different domain.  We use postini for our spam/virus filtering. 
    Since we've moved to the Exchange 2013 solution, we have started having issues with some (not all) Google apps hosted domains.  The firewall and IP of the server stayed the same regardless of the change.  I looked into routing all of our outbound
    mail (or just specific domains) through Postini to help with this issue, but their instructions work for 2007 and 2010 - not 2013.  I tried setting it up with their directions, but modifying it for 2013, but that was a big failure.  We are seeing
    message delayed codes returned.
    Remote Server returned '400 4.4.7 Message delayed'
    I did some research through Google Apps, but the only thing I found is a server reboot, which does nothing.
    I have it working right now by routing everything for these Google Apps hosted domains by creating a separate send connector that routes through smtp.google.com as a smart host (using a gmail ID and password) but that's only going to work for so many messages
    before it bombs, and we won't even get a notification.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you cannot send message to google apps hosted domains after upgrading to exchange 2013. correct?
    I recommend you post the header of the returned mail, it will help us to troubleshoot the issue.
    In addition, I recommend use "Nslookup" to resolve these host domains in your server, and check the result.
    If any misunderstanding, please feel free let me know.
    Thanks.

    I want to set the mailto app for google apps gmail.
    I tried editing the gecko...mailto.2.uritemplate as per instructions found on web (https://mail.google.com/a/MYDOMAIN/mail/?extsrc=mailto&url=%s.
    Set 3 related config values to "true" as per instructions (network.protocol-handler.expose.mailto ; network.protocol-handler.warn-external.mailto ; AND, third, gecko.handlerService.allowRegisterFromDifferentHost.
    Does not work, no Google Apps in the mailto app spot.
    Tried javascript method in address bar without success:
    javascript:window.navigator.registerProtocolHandler("mailto","https://mail.google.com/a/MYDOMAIN/mail/?extsrc=mailto&url=%s","Google Apps GMail")
    Any light anyone can shed will be appreciated. Cheers, jlf

    [*]Select New Business Components...
    This should be 'New Business Components Package', or you won't be able to add business components.
    ename as "Name",

    from emp

  • Calendar sync broken for Google Apps accounts

    The Calendar no longer syncs with my Google Apps account; not in either direction.  It pops up the sync notification and reports success, but nothing changes.  I tried removing and adding the account.  This actually broke in 1.2.1, but by the time I noticed, I assumed a fix was around the corner.  1.3.1 didn't help.  I even created a brand new test account using the newly enhanced support for Google Apps.  Mail and contacts work fine, but the calendar won't budge.  Palm, I can give you the test account to play with if you'd like.
    My standard Gmail account calendar syncs just fine.  Saw the troubleshooting for standard account calendars and tried playing with the invitation options in my Apps account to no avail.

    #1 is good already.  I tried changing the other differences: Default View was month, Location had my zip code, Automatically Add Invitations was set to Yes.
    #2 using network settings correctly had me in Central, but it said Regina, Canada.  Changed it to Chicago and rebooted, but I'm still not syncing either way on my account nor the test account.
    Here's the really odd thing.  My Pre has all four of your entires on the test account from the 3rd and 4th.  I just tried creating entries for the test account from both my Pre and desktop, and I'm not seeing any syncing.  I've forced it about five times over the past 20 minutes.
    Sounds like we're down to it either being homebrew's fault or something stuck in my launch day profile that would survive a wipe.  I wiped my phone under 1.3.1 to undo a lot of homebrew cruft, but I still can't say I ever tested this in a virgin state.  Enh.  Go ahead and close the ticket.  My workaround is fine with me.  Feel free to keep using the test account for other stuff if you want.

    When I bought my iPhone 4s, a friend activated it for me using his email. Later I changed it to my own email on iPhone website (iCloud A/C). But when I try to update, I found it still shown my friend's email and I don't have his password. What can I do?

    In addition to what FelipeV is telling you, I advise you to contact your friend and have him remove the iPhone from his apple id through icloud.com.  Otherwise, if in the future you want to update the iOS or restore the iPhone for troubleshooting a problem, you may find that you cannot activate it again  due to the feature Activiation Lock in iOS 7.
    Once your friend has done this, you should deactivate Find my iPhone on your iPhone iCloud settings and then activate it back with your own Apple ID.

  • Since updating to Iso 6 my iMessages are showing as coming from my email address, anyone know how to fix this?

    Since updating to Iso 6 my iMessages are showing as coming from my email address, anyone know how to fix this?

    I figured out my problem...... I have custom text tones set up for certain ppl and had the default text tone set to "none" well with the iOS6 update it made it so if your default text tone is set on "none" then you won't hear what I call the send and recieve text sounds when in a converstation... if you change the default text tone to any text tone other than "none" you will get your send and recieve sounds back.... kinda annoying if you don't won't random texts from ppl waking you up... so I made a custon text tone that is called silence with just recording a few seconds of dead noise then edited it and turned all the sound levels down to 0 and set that as my default text tone.... now I have the send and recieve text sounds in a conversation and everything is fine! Sorry Nehucskter the first time I had this problem thats the first thing I did was reboot my phone.... first thing you do for everything lol....

  • How can I retrieve or reset an old forgotten password for a old discontinued email address.

    how can I retrieve or reset an old forgotten password for a old discontinued email address.
    I have lots of bought music that my new laptop can't play because it's not authorized

    If you can't get it reset via http://iforgot.apple.com (do you remember the answers to your security questions or have a rescue email address on the account ?) then you will have to contact Support in your country to get the password reset (they can also reset security questions).
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with

    Then update the primary email address to be an email account that you have access to : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621

    When I attempt to download an app my email address isn't there, the other ipad users is there.  How do I change the email address so I can enter my password?

    Go to Settings > iTunes and App Stores
    At the top of the window you will see the Apple ID that the iPad is using. To change that tap on the ID and then tap on Sign Out. Then sign in with the correct ID.
    Not really a good idea to be using two different Apple IDs on a single iPad.

  • I do not receive verification email for changing my iCloud email address

    i would like to change my iCloud email address e.g.   change from: [email protected], to: [email protected]
    I do not receive verification email for changing my iCloud email address, even though it says verification email sent.
    I also tried the "forgot apple ID" option to change it that way, i received an email but it was for resetting my password.
    is there anyway i can change it?

    Hello, skengzz.

    I see you are experiencing an issue receiving the verification email.  Here are a couple articles that will help you with this.  Make sure to also check your junk folder on your mail account for this email.

  • Cannot use Microsoft Exchange account to connect to Google Apps hosted accounts.

    I am the Desktop and Device support Coordinator for my Department.  We use Google Apps to host our email, calendar, docs, etc.  On iOS and Android devices to connect we use an exchange account.
    Email: [email protected]
    Server: m.google.com
    Domain: domain.com
    Username: username
    And it works just fine.  However when we give the touchpad the same info, we get an error, bad username or password.  This is using passwords greater than 12 characters, with spaces and special characters.
    Username: username
    Email: [email protected]
    Server: https://m.google.com
    Domain: domain.com
    Any though on what we are doing wrong, or does webos exchange accounts not suppor this?
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    First, changing the password and trying it again with the "Google" account type doesn't work.  And it shouldn't, on every other device (Android, iOS) if we try it with the standard "Google" account it does not work.
    Now on every other device we use the "Microsoft Exchange" account type and it does work. Because Google provides a Microsoft Exchange account to act as a connector to their services.
    Remember, this is not a standard google account, this is an App account, and as such cannot use the standard google login.  If I tried to login to any of our app service (mail.google.com, calendar.google.com, docs.google.com) from it's google site it fails.  The only way we can access the account is through a special login page that ties into our single sign on (mail.example.com, cal.example.com, docs.example.com), or use the Exchange Connector.
    Now if the Microsoft Exchange account connection does not work in webOs to connect to Google, great.  We return our tablets, and discourage pre's. But I really like webOS and would really like to use the touch pad and keep my pre. 

  • Google apps hosted domain and imap

    Hello,
    according to this article:  http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB05133
    wireless deletion works both ways. it won't for my domain hosted with google apps. email arrive quickly. deletion from blackberry to server works but not in the other way. i don't know if it's a blackberry or google issue. if someone has an idea...

    Well I thought it may have been related to the Mail Attachment Iconizer plugin I was using, so I uninstalled that. After relaunching Mail though, I'm still seeing the same behavior:
    If I send a file to someone using Mail, and then make edits to that file, I can't re-save the file as long as Mail is open. I need to quit Mail before it can be saved.

  • HT5621 I dont understand - Can I have an an apple ID with somesort of apple extension? I find it farcical that I would have to use a work email or worse a a google or android email address in order for my primary apple ID to work. Seriously what is the po

    HI, I don't understand - Seemingly I can't have an any type of PRIMARY Apple ID that has an apple ext. Instead I have to use a work email or even worse a google, android, MS email for my primary address to work - What is the point in directing customers to competitors? I already tried Apple direct but I didn't seem to get a conclusive answer to my question.
    Also why can't you password protect the email app on the ipad or iphone?  Its really frustrating that my email is availble for anyone to see once the screen password is bypassed. And yet my laptop (which I only use ironically) continually asks for my password once I have closed down.

    You cannot delete an Apple ID, you can only choose not to use it.  Also, your @me.com address is associated with this ID and cannot be moved to another ID or be used to create a new ID.
    All you could do is create a new ID using a different email address with your name in it.  If you do you will have an associated @icloud.com email address.
