IMessage does not send when receiver is not online
I am trying to send an iMessage to another iPhone (version 5.0.1) that is not online (not on 3G) at this moment. I have used iMessage to this person before when that iPhone was on wifi. In my settings I have "send as sms/text" turned on. So I am expecting that the message is going via the cellular sms/text, but the receiver does not get anything (using another phone works well so the receiver can receive sms/text messages).
What could be the problem here? Thanks to all for helping me out here.
Hi Allan, thanks for taking the time to help.
Let me explain a little bit further. My sons iPhone does not have a dataplan, only call/sms plan. I use iMessage with him when he is on a wifi at home or at school.
But now he is not on wifi and I want to sms/text him. My wife with an Android can SMS him fine. He can SMS me as well but my SMS does not get delivered. So he has cellular reception.
With "send as SMS" turned on in settings, I would expect my message to be transfered via SMS. The send button is still blue, suggesting iMessage is still used and not green (which would suggest SMS).
Thanks for the help!

IMessage does not show my phone number on iMac.
iMessage does not show my phone number on iMac. My family has 3 iPhones we sync to this computer and only the other two are available to checkmark in preferences on the iMac. I tried updating my profile online, but only my number is listed on my account. iMessages works fine on my phone. I've tried signing out and back in and rebooting.
OSX 10.9.3Hi,
My Apple ID profile does not contain my mobile (well either of them actually) number it make no difference to iMessages.
To get an iPhone Number on the Mac the Apple ID must be added to an iPhone AND when you get the Pop ups on the Mac they should be accepted.
If the the Apple ID is on the iPhone check it is set for Messages and not just iCloud.
Check it is also set as a Send and Receive item And that the iPhone Number is itself (this should be greyed out so you can't turn it Off).
If the apple ID is missing then add it.
If the iPhone Number seems to be turned Off then Remove the Apple ID
Set the iPhone to Airplane Mode.
On taking it out of Airplane Mode check the iPhone Number is active for iMessages and Verifies and logs in.
Check by sending a Message to the Apple ID so the Mac sees it.
Now add back the Apple ID and make sure that verifies.
Now restart the app on the Mac.
this should prompt the Pop ups.
Accept these to add the iPhone number to the Receive At list (It will also be added to the Send From drop down list)

IMessage does not work after upgrade to iOS 8.1.3 to my iPad 4
iMessage does not work after upgrade to iOS 8.1.3 on my iPad 4
I Fixed it by trying to sign in with a different ID and canceling when it asked For a password and then signed in with my ID and it works! No more error message. I got this idea from another discussion. Thank you for replying though.

Please can somebody help me? My imessage does not work, I try to activate it but it says an error ocurred during activation. try again
Its possible that the server can be down now. Have you ever used it before? If you want, try resseting the phone by just holding the sleep/wake key and the home button together for 10 seconds. Then wait 5 seconds when it turns off and press the sleep/wake button to turn it back on. Then try it again. Let me know what the results are.

Why does iMessages does not work properly ? Please help me ! Its works better with the previous version if compared with the latest iOS
Many, many thanks for both of you Todd and Rick.
to Rick:
I suppose you mean the Color Settings in Project Settings as follows:
- Working Space: None
- Match Legacy ... Gamma Adjustments checked ON
But it does not correct the colors in effects. And checking or unchecking Make Movie/Output Module Settings/Color Management/Profile/Preserve RGB does not make any difference.
to both of you:
Those parts of the video image that does not have color effects are just fine. In these parts the color is preserved when reimporting to FCP. However, those parts having color effects (except Levels, as decribed earlier) have altered color results. So, only the parts having effects affecting color are misinterpreted in the image area. The mismatch is of course seen in AE, before making the movie.
What I ment with "Color Management not working properly" is that (instead of "disabling" it) Color Management does not seem to be able to correct this "misinterpretation" or difference in effect handling between AE 6 and 10.
So, would you have any solution for this problem?
Again, many thanks for your fast replies! -
My iMessage does not appear to be working. Every time I go to reply to an existing message it just appears as normal text. I have tried to create a new message but it still just defaults to normal messages. I have checked my settings but it is all set up as it should be. Is there anything I've missed or could try? Thanks
Try the following:
In Finder, select the problematic volume and then press command-I.
Expand the Sharing & permissions section if it's collapsed.
If the section is locked, then unlock it by pressing the padlock button and then authenticating as directed.
Tick/check Ignore ownership on this volume. -
Own an Ipad1. Recently, my imessage does not work and i am not able to log in using my existing name and passwrd. However, this existing username and password can be used to login into my itunes etc.
How do I resolve this? TqIf the problem persists, you'll probably have to make another apple id, it wont take off any games or music or apps or anything you've bought it will all stay there, i have two apple id's and i don't have a problem with anything.

IMessage won't send or receive pictures
iMessage won't send or receive pictures, no matter how big or small they are. Not issue sending pics from iphone or ipad. if i access the file transfer window, it shows the following message below each picture that did not go out:
NSURLSession error: The operation couldn't be completed. (NSURLErrorDomain error - 1200.) ((null))
Any ideas?
This issue started a few days ago, no changes in SW or HW ever since, so not sure what is going on.Hi,
Try zipping/Compressing the files or pic first.
Other people are having the issue and the zipping is the only work around we have discovered so far.

My iMessage does not recognize my phone number under "send and receive"
I had to restore my iphone and now it is unable to connect to iMessage. It says "waiting for activation" and then it will fail. Under send and receive, my phone number appears to be clicked on, but does not have the check mark next to it.

IMessage don't send and receiver are "not registered"
On my MacBook Pro i have problems with the iMessage.
I did active with my Apple-ID Account and be connected without problems. But when i like to send a Message, i get the Error that the Receiver is no registered by iMessage.
Also i don't receive Messages on this MacBook.
It works on my iPhone5, iPhone4, iPad3, iMac in the office and iMac at home. But not on this MacBook.
It did work before till begin of January 2015.
In the Console i did find:
[Warning] Needs deletion: NO (Registration info (0x7ff63a7a8dc0): [Registered: NO] [Type: AppleID] [Device Name: (null)] [Service Type: iMessage] [Env: (null)] [Main ID: ....
What i can do ???
Did try to disconnect, also in my iPhone, reboot and so on, but all in vainHi,
Messages and particularly the iMessages account now has a range of "Known Issues"
First there were these four FaceTime, Game Center, Messages: Troubleshooting sign in issues - Apple Support
Then there was this 5th one
This is obviously before the Account seems to be logged in and can only be Fixed by contact Support (you may have to bump to Level 2 people)
Then there is the issue you have. (I call it Issue 6).
The App and the Account seem to be logged in. (you can only tell if you are not if it fails)
In this case it works on iOS devices, sometimes other Macs if you have them but not on this computer.
It is related to the Apple ID and the Mac (even if you create another Mac User and set up Messages there the issue continues).
Deleting the Keychain Item (IDS: AppleID-Auth Token) seems not to help. It is not recreated until you can log in fully/properly.
On the basis that Issue 5 exists and proves you can have an issue with the ID at the Server and it will only effect one Mac then the presumption can be that this issue is very similar.
That means contacting Apple Support.
Level One responders are Script led and will try to fit you into either Software or Hardware issues.
If you cannot convince them it is an Account Issue (free to fix) then ask to speak to a Level 2 person.
You may still have issue convincing them as well but they do tend to be more flexible and it really does not take them long to look and check.

I messages does not appear to be working on iPad every time I type a message it comes up as in delivered but I can type the same message on my iPhone and it works straight away
MMS is a carrier issue... contact Verizon and ensure your account is provisioned correctly. I would think that someone would be intelligent enough to do that before buying a new device, but......
iMessage could be an activation issue or a network issue.
Have you tried Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings?
Does iMessage work consistently on Wi-Fi? -
TS4268 imessaging does not go to my second phone
My imessaging suddenly stopped working when I try to send message to my second iphone 5. It works with everyone else. It also is connecting to an old contact list rather than updated one. How can I delete old contact list. It pops up when I try to send message, but I can't pull it up otherwise.
It seems that, since "...when my bIphone is open it comes in...", your HKG Online nr. and call forwarding arrangements to your mobile phone in Netherlands is working fine.
As "...when the phone is simply in my pocket but ready and active to receive incoming calls it does not work", the source of problem would have been in your mobile phone.
Do you find any specific issue in the manual of your mobile phone concerning to this ?
