IMessage deactivating problems

I have recently sold my iPhone for a phone without iMessage. However I haven't been receiving messages who previously sent messages via iMessage. I have wiped my phone and unregistered my iPhone on the apple website but it still isn't working properly.
How do I unregistered iMessage off my iPad without disabling my applications?

I apologize about the odd style but I'm using voice rec software.  I just got the Galaxy S five and I have this problem too after weeks of searching online I finally figured out the problem it is with iMessage even if you have your old phones imessage switched off. you have to get your friends to text you normally and send. If the text bubble shows up blue, press and hold choose option send as SMS or text and the bubble will change to green green means SMS blue is the iMessage so its up to the iPhone user to take literally a half of an extra step to send a text to you and if they don't do that then they're just jerks

  • Yosemite and iOS iMessage Syncing Problem

    I am SO frustrated. I've read forum after forum and CANNOT seem to set up text message forwarding. I've signed into just one apple id across all of the devices (@icloud.com), I've selected receive from and only had my email address selected. I've toggled the iMessage on and off on my phone (sometimes crashing iMessage - it says it's activating and then says it can't connect to iCloud). I've turned on BlueTooth and tried connecting my devices and then clicking "Enable Test Message Forwarding." Whatever I do, I CANNOT seem to get the activation code to pop up on my laptop. It just won't.
    There is a SERIOUS bug in iMessage and this problem only started after I updated to Yosemite and iOS 8, on my new iPhone 5.
    Before updating anything, my MacBook Air and my iPhone 4 were working together beautifully. After updating to Yosemite, suddenly I could receive messages on both devices, but they would show up unread on my phone even though I checked them on my laptop and vice versa and my replies would only show up on the device where the replies originated. When I switched to the other device, conversations appear one sided - I can only see the series of messages my friends sent me in the conversation on the other device (without my replies).
    Today, I was furious because I texted someone from my phone while at work and then thought that I never heard from them. I went home to discover that their reply only went to my Macbook Air, which had been sitting at home, closed, on the kitchen table!
    I thought I fixed it because one or two messages I sent from my iPhone showed up on my laptop when I used it later in the day. However, I have yet to see this successfully happen again.
    PLEASE FIX THIS BUG, APPLE.
    Kind regards,
    K

    Hi,
    What I am understanding form your post may not be what you think you are telling me.
    Nor does it quite match what I thought I had posted.  (post/message  is only as good as it is understood by the recipient)
    On the iPhone in the iMessages setting remove all additional emails.
    Remove the Apple ID you are using for iMessages
    Then place in Airplane Mode (ON) which turns everything else Off effectively.
    this will leave Messages with just the iPhone number listed when you go back to the settings.
    Wait for the iPhone Number to Verify (re-register) with the servers.
    Apple IDs
    I have an Apple ID I made years ago using an external email address from a Dial up provider.
    At the start of iCloud I linked it to iCloud and received an @Me.com email ID either works in iTunes and logging in to the web page for iCloud.
    Later I also got an @icloud.com email/ID
    Sending an email to @me.com or @iCloud.com gets to my Mail App that lists the @me.com variant.
    Emails sent to the original email address do not come through the Apple servers.
    iMessages treats each as a separate ID.
    It is important that the Apple ID used on the Mac and the first one used as the Apple ID in Messages on the iPhone are the same - even if they are linked elsewhere.
    (It can be different to the iCloud setting on each device)
    when you add the Apple ID to the iPhone the mac should get the Pop ups to say what the iPhone is using.
    Accepting them adds the iPhone number to the Send and Receive options in the Mac version (And th Start conversations from drop down).
    At this point on the Mac you should have only two IDs active to Receive and Send (the Apple ID and the iPhone Number).
    Text Forwarding should then be enabled on the iPhone, prompting the Mac version to show you the code, which then needs entering on the iPhone.
    There are limits to some Model of Mac regarding Handoff and Airplay (my mid 2011 iMac will do Airplay between Macs but not with iOS devices).
    I am not sure if there are limits to Text Forwarding though.

    Hello, I am currently using iOS 7.0.3 on an iPhone 4S and last night I found the problem of my imessage and FaceTime not activating. Recently I just fixed the problem of iMessage not starting. Each time I try to activate iMessage or FaceTime, I get "iMessage activation, an error occurred during activation. Try again." And when I try to sign in it says"could not sign in, check your network connection and try again." Could someone please help me figure out what's going on?!?

  • IMessage login problem on OSX Yosemite

    Hi.
    Since i have updated to OSX Yosemite, I cannot sign in to iMessages or Facetime from my macbook Air. could anybody please help me out to resolve this problem?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    We would tend to see the exact message you are seeing.
    These were the first 4 error messages and the suggested fixes
    FaceTime, Game Center, Messages: Troubleshooting sign in issues - Apple Support
    There is a Fifth which has a Contact Apple Support messages on it.
    It can only be fixed by contacting Support. (Although you often have to get bumped to Level 2 people and Say it an Account issue)
    There seem to be two related issues to the 5th one.
    The 6th as I call it is when each and every iMessages Contacts is reported as not being Registered.
    The 7th seems to return "Not Delivered"  alerts in the chat window.
    These two suggest that the Mac is partially logged in but is still having seemingly have issues related to the 5th issue.
    If it these I feel only Apple Support can sort it but you will have a harder job convincing someone to actually look at the iMessages servers.

  • Imessage sending problems

    so since i did the ios7 update my phone hasnt been my texts as an imessage. i can recieve imessages but i cannot send out as an imessage. It starts to send as an imessage but stops and doesnt send so i have been sending all my texts as a text which is really annoying. can anyone help my problem!

    Ok, brothers and sisters.  I turned my iMessage off after posting this and several iPhone'ers were messaging me and then called saying "why haven't you responded".  I wasn't having any problems receiving, only sending, before.  Now it appeared my I couldn't receive from an iMessaging phone via SMS.  I knew I had to do something, I live and work with my phone.
    A full restore AGAIN, TWICE did it.  Now I have to say, to be fair, I believe that it was twice because my hard drive on my PC was getting low (down to 20 gigs of free space).  I did a full backup (I've done many in the last week) and iTunes told me AFTER it had wiped out my phone and was in the process of the restore that "backup failed, not enough storage".  I was like, "you've got to be kidding me".  Like I said, I have backed up several times this week so I had my last backup from this weekend, I just would've lost a few pics and some data/texts.  I thought "oh well".  An hour and a half later, the restore finished and I could tell it wasn't complete.  I attempted to restore again, from the same backup this morning (I couldn't believe that it even showed up since it "failed").  2 hours later, it succeeded with all of the info up to the time of the backup.  All is restored.  I iMessage'd several of the people that were failing to receive my messages this morning and they all responded.  All fixed, praise God!! woohoo.  Best of prayers to you all on your fixes!

  • Deactivation Problems with CS3

    Dreamweaver CS3 will no longer deactivate. I use the software
    on an office machine, a home machine and a laptop. One of the best
    features of CS3 (IMO) is the deactivate/activate ability, which I
    think is a very fair way to handle licensing. In the last few days
    deactivation will no longer work, I get error code 194:14 with no
    other information about the error. I've called customer service but
    there solution is to uninstall the software and call back for an
    exception code to reactivate the software but they have no word on
    the deactivation issue. I don't want to be tethered to one machine
    or have to go through the uninstall/reinstall cycle over and over.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    p.s.--- is the something that lists what the error codes
    mean?

    Here's my horror story that's making me consider other
    software for the future. I bought Photoshop CS3 and Web Standard
    CS3 about a month apart back in the fall of 07. Installed each
    piece of software on one home computer and each on one work
    computer just as the license says I can.
    Late December I get an SATA drive for my home comp. I
    deactivate all software off my computer, change the old drive out
    and install the new fresh drive, get everything back up and running
    and reactivate my Adobe software. No problem.
    January 08 I get a new computer at work so I deactivate both
    pieces of software, swap out computers, reinstall and reactivate.
    No problem.
    April 08, I get another new computer to replace the computer
    I just got in January 08 because they offered me a much better
    computer then what we got in the fist new batch from January so of
    course I jump at the chance to get the best comp in the company.
    But now I can’t deactivate either of my pieces of software
    from the January work computer. So I can’t run it on my new
    computer. No matter how many times I’ve tried both pieces
    just keep saying: “This software can not be deactivated. You
    may still use this software on this computer”. And this
    happens on both pieces of software. So now I can’t use it on
    my new computer. And what’s going to happen when I want to
    upgrade my home computer this summer? It’s 5 years old.
    Adobe is really screwing their customers. I can’t
    freely upgrade my computer at home and/or at work without losing
    access to the software I bought. $800.00 worth. I suppose I could
    call them, but do I really have to do this every time I want to
    make a computer or hardware change to one of my two computers, home
    and work? It’s bogus. And so they can stop what? This
    activation junk isn’t doing anything but p-off paying
    customers.

  • Imessage activation problems

    I bought an Iphone 5 for Sprint, It was supposed to be free for using it abroad, however I got problems activating Imessage in my country (Peru) my carrier has GSM technology. When I bought it in the apple store, I was told I wouldn't have problems at all, but now I can't use Imessage neither facetime, somebody knows how to fix it?

    Who is your carrier? Do you have a texting plan? If you're using an unsupported carrier, do you have a texting plan that permits international texting? If you're using a supported carrier, is your line properly provisioned for use with an iPhone?

  • Deactivation problem - I think

    I have had Photoshop CS4 running on a computer since 2008. Now that computer has crashed so badly it won't start at all and it's so old it's not worth it to have it fixed. Thus I can't deactive CS4 on that computer. I have downloaded CS4 from the "My orders" page on my account and installed it on the new computer, but it won't accept the serial number and won't activate CS4on the new computer - likely because it hasn't been deactivated on the old computer. I have been on line in a Adobe service chat for more than an hour and been through two departments, but they ended up saying they didn't support that old program versions and linked me to this forum. Though I explained the problem five times, entered my personal details three times and the serial number for CS4 four times, I never felt sure they understood what the problem was. Can anybody here help?

    I think it emits pretty specific messages about the number of activations exceeded if it fails to activate for that reason, so I'm guessing that's not the issue.  Adobe absolutely has to support the ongoing activation of older versions you've purchased.  They have called it a "perpetual license" after all.
    Can you be more specific?  Exactly what are you seeing happen?  Screen grabs would be best.

  • Problemi con iMessage e problemi generali con iphone 4s.

    Il mio iphone si "blocca" spesso, diventa lento e devo riavviarlo quasi tutti i giorni, inoltre quando creo un nuovo messaggio con destinatario un altro iphone me li invia come sms normali invece che come imessage. é normale? come posso fare?
    Grazie in anticipo

    Io ho lo stesso problema.. andai sul sito per l'assistenza e dopo vari passaggi che feci, mi dissero che dovevo cambiare batteria. Io l'ho fatto, però mi da sempre lo stesso problema. È un bug di iOS 8.1.3, spero che in iOS 8.2 venga risolto

  • Apple ID, FaceTime, iMessage, Mail problems

    It seems the Apple ID has become a bit of a problem with various iOS apps on my iPhone as well as my MacBook's Mail app.
    First off, I've been a .Mac/MobileMe member since it's inception following iTools, so I have the dual [email protected] and [email protected] email addresses. My iTunes account as well my Apple Store account use the same name as my email before the @ symbol.
    So when I installed iOS 5 and then switched on iCloud, I was asked to use the email for my Apple ID which I used the [email protected]; however, it named my Apple ID w/ the [email protected] but stated the me.com was my email address. Ok, whatever...still can sign on w/ either.
    My problem came about trying to sign up or sign in w/ the newest iOS 5 apps of iMessage, FaceTime, Find My Friends as well as Mail. Each stated I could not use the Apple ID I provided because it was already in use. With FaceTime, I tried the [email protected] and it worked but stated that people could contact me using that email...which of course now no one uses anymore.
    This similar circle happens as well with Mail (unable to d/l new messages) as well as the Mac Mail app; both keep asking for my password, over & over. Find My Friends keeps sending me to Apple's Apple ID sign in page, but I can't see anything there that allows me to authorize the app w/ my Apple ID.
    Long story short, the Apple ID seems to be a bit of a mess right now, and I can only suppose it is due to the major traffic going thru the Apple servers right now w/ the launch of 10.7.2, iOS 5, iCloud, etc.
    However, if someone knows of a work around or solution, I'm greatly appreciative for that information.

  • IMessage Activation Problem in Iran

    we have problem to activate the iMessage , FaceTime and new IOS 8 Feature in Iran , is there any solution ?
    by the last announce of USA Department , the IT restriction is over of Iran , but we cant use the iMessage and FaceTime and any Phone number based services , in Iran .
    I guess the +98 Country code is blocked by Apple , and according to last announce about finish of restriction in IT field and services for Iran , I think , Apple may review these restriction to bypass them .
    please inform me about the situation and if there is any way to solve these problems .
    Regards
    Aka

    I want Apple customer care that investigate about this problem , because this is problem of more than 1 million Apple product users in Iran .
    an unlikely scenario Apple do NOT sell or support the iphone in your country
    but i think in the UK carrier or the UK mobile operator , the IRAN country code(98) , has been Blocked
    very likely
