IMessage & Email Issues

I am a Soldier who is currently deployed.  I don't have cellular service, but up until about a week ago I was able to use my iPhone and iPad to send text messages and emails using the wifi at the USO.  I have no idea what changed, but any advice to restore these capabilities is appreciated.

  • Imessage email issue

    Hello apple enthusiasts I was wondering about something and hope someone knows. Just a small issue.
    After sending a regular sms, i received an imessage from my contact, however from their email, instead their phone number. Probably their issue with appleID. However upon sending the imessage back, it only says delivered. Since I can't contact the person in the following days I am just wondering until then, if in this scenario, is imessage sent to the inbox (since it does say delivered), or email, or perhaps can (even though it says delivered) be lost and the person didn't receive it (as i read around the web that it is possible)?

    If it says it was delivered, then it was delivered. You can either use your Apple ID (which is an email address) or your phone number as your iMessage address.

  • Strange Japan/U.S. imessage/email issue, haven't seen this before

    okay...my sister in law in japan has an iphone, my wife here in the U.S. has an iphone, i have an iphone. my apple id and icloud id is our primary email address. my wife and sister email back and forth all the time, our macbook pro to sister's iphone in japan. suddenly when my sister in law in japan emails our primary email address it only comes to my iphone as an imessage. we just skyped with my sister in law and she says she has not done any updates to her phone and did not do anything any different than she ever has, but we can't figure out why i am getting her emails as imessages, and they aren't even at least going to our email on the macbook pro at all. help...

    by the way, i do not, nor ever have, any email set up on my iphone if that matters.

  • IMessages and email issues

    I cannot receive iMessages and I cannot access my email. Can I still downgrade to iOS 6.1.4?  I had no issues with that version

    Thanks again.
    There is a listing for Theme in settings which gives the 3 options "Theme controlled, Combined and Separate for sms, mms and email.  I and the store have tried this option which sadly did not work, in fact it removed all remaining messages from my message folder; they are still there, but only accessible from the sms inbox folder which you have to navigate to via view folder option.  The store recommended contacting Blackberry directly as well as the forum sites for advice as they have never seen this happen before.  They also advised that if no fix was possible then to back up my files and restore to original settings and start again.
    I have since removed the battery from the device and then replaced it to see if that helped.  The device appears to have rebooted and sms messages are now showing in my message folder.  However, I still cannot receive my emails.  I have decided to remove my email accounts from the phone and then reinstate them and hope that will rectify any conflicting issues.
    Thank you for your time, it has been very appreciated and helpful.  I will let you know if this resolves the email issues.  I know it is probably not the correct way to fix but if it works then it is worth a shot.

  • How do I delete or change my number in my old iPhone, so that I can still use it for iMessages without issue?

    I have an iPhone 4S that was with Verizon. About a week ago I ported into Virgin Mobile and bought a new phone to use until the next iPhone comes out. I now still have my old iPhone, which I want to use for iMessages, as well as like an iPod, etc.
    The issue I am seeing is that my phone number is still registered to my iPhone and I haven't yet figured out how to delete it or change it. The problem this is causing is it is making my iPhone sometimes intercept messages from those with iMessage who are texting my phone number. The messages should be going to my new phone, not my iPhone, since they are texting my phone number (not my iMessage email) and my iPhone has no service connected to it.
    Here's an example of what I'm trying to say: the other day I texted a guy selling an item online. I used my new phone to text him, not my iPhone. He texted me right back, but the text went to my iPhone, not my new phone. We then texted each other via iMessage and no texts were making it to my new phone.
    I think this is also causing some messages to not go through on my new phone either, where I'm just simply not getting texts from people sending me messages. My iPhone isn't getting the messages, nor is my new phone.
    What I need to do is delete my number or put a random number in my phone so that I don't keep missing or losing texts. I saw the ways recommended to disconnect your number from iMessage, but that then kills my ability to use iMessage on my iPhone. There must be a way that the number in my iPhone can be changed or deleted. We are in 2013 I think, and this was something I always had the option of changing via manual programming on every phone I've had since 1902 or so.
    How to do this?!

    I also already deleted my phone number from iMessage on my MBP.

  • How to change associated iMessage email in conversation?

    Hi all,
    A friend and I are having issues with iMessage. Basicly her whole family uses the one Apple ID for purchases, so my friend updated to iOS5, and we were messing about with iMessages not realising that it was using their family Apple ID. So we fixed that up by creating her a new iCould ID, setting it all up with that and removing the family ID from the iMessage settings completely, however we are having issues with getting our iMessages working as one unified conversations with our SMSs. It appears that our old SMS conversation has been tagged with her family apple IDs email address on both our iPhones.
    To complicate things further we both have iPad's, I've set caller ID on all 4 iDevices to their correct email addresses (completely removing her family ID from iMessage) however now whenever we use our old SMS conversation it's using their family email, as such they're not appearing on our iPad's. When I iMessage her iCould ID, it appears on our phones as a seperate conversation and iPad's. Kind of pointless when its meant to be unified, having SMSs and iMessages in the one conversation trail.
    And we're worried that when her parents update to iOS5 that they're going to recieve our iMessage conversation if we use the SMS conversation.
    We both don't want to remove our 3+ years of texts just to fix this issue, surely there is a way to fix it so we have one conversation for our SMSs and iMessages in one conversation?
    We've rebooting all our iDevices and tripple checked the settings and everything looks right its just that the SMS conversation needs the iMessage email address changing.
    After typing this out I just had anothor thought, could it be that the SMS conversations are set to use our phone numbers + family ID, instead of phone number + her iCloud ID?
    Anyways, is there anyway to fix this up?

    If you haven't found an answer I might have a fix (at least it seems to have worked for me)...
    I turned off iMessage and set up my new ID's and then verified them. Then instead of going into the settings and iMessage, I just opened the message app which then prompted me to set up iMessage as a new user. This def worked on the iPod but it seemed a bit tricker with my iPhone as it would message regardless of iMessage being set up. With the iPhone it didn't prompt me for a new set up but that wasn't what I was trying to fix...it was my daughters iPod and this solution DID fix it. I'm quite sure it'd work on the phone too if someone just messed with it for a bit. Good luck;)

  • Email issues after Yosemite upgrade.  Several things are happening, I delete messages only to get a error indicating that I can't delete them or if I do delete them, they reappear sometime later.

    I use Apple mail on an IMAC & IMAC Mini.  As I move from one to the other these email issues persist on both.
    I try to clean out my email by deleting emails.  I sometimes get an error message indicating I can't delete the message or when I do delete the message, then sometime later or when I go on the other computer these deleted messages reappear.  I am also getting emails from some senders but the actual content belongs to another person.
    I had none of these problems prior to upgrading to Yosemite.
    Any suggestions would be helpful.

  • HT204017 Email issues after the latest update

    I updated to the latest yosemite update yesterday and it caused email issues.  I can receive emails but when I create and send emails, they just sit in my outbox.  Any ideas or suggestions?  Is there a way to revert back to the previous version of yosemite?

    Hi roger,
    I had this same issue about a month ago. I went in and had to re-enter my password for the account I was having trouble with and then restarting my computer. If that doesn't work then I have seen people that had to go into keychain and delete their email login information and after that delete the email account and re-add it. Hope this helps.

  • Email Pop-UP message "Email issue detected"

    Over the last week I continually receive a pop-up message with  "Email issue detected" and the options of "Fix" or "Ignore"
    When I selct FIX it sends a test message to my Outlook 2003. A new pop-up then appears with no fault found. However it does refer to my current email address and also an old email address which I have not used in 5-6 years.
    How do I stop this and get rid of old address?

    Sounds like a bit of Malware to me.

  • Browser and email issues with OS 10.9.4

    Had a problem that I thought had been solved.  See thread here: Just installed OSX 10.9.4 - have browser and email issues
    Now a week or so later, it's back.  Same symptoms.  I have followed the procedure posted by Linc Davis.  Anybody have further ideas?
    Don Hutchins

    If you are using Safari, try going to Safari/Preferences/Advanced and set the develop menu to show. Go to the develop menu and select Empty Caches.
    If that doesn't work, Safari/Reset Safari/Remove all web site data.
    For Mail, try:
    Do a backup.
    Quit Mail.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Go to Library/Containers/com.apple.mail.  Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
    Restart, re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.

  • Just installed OSX 10.9.4 - have browser and email issues

    After updating the OS to X 10.9.4, I am now getting sporadic browser and email issues.
    Email will send one message from each account, then locks up and the message is "authentication refused".
    Browser will bring up an internet page or sometimes several, then will lock up and no further URLs can be accessed.
    Both issues are temporarily solved by rebooting the machine - but recur almost immediately.
    I am pulling my hair out.  Any thoughts?
    Don Hutchins

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Remove FOPE Domain/O365 Domain (Admin needed) - Causing Email issues.

    Good Morning,
    Long time ago (2007) I messed around setting up FOPE but did not do much with it, which is or currently transitioning to Office 365? Anyways, I logged into FOPE yesterday based on some help from another company that has been unable to email us, said they
    talked to Microsoft and the rep saw we had a FOPE account setup with mail server settings pointing to our old Exchange Server.. Turns out the company and many other companys that can't email us are using FOPE/O365 and Microsoft internally is using those settings
    to route mail to our old On-Premise Exchange Server and not picking up our new MX record.
    We have since transitioned to Google Apps (thus the new MX record), but from what we see - O365 Customers look like they are being routed  to the old Exchange Server based on those settings.. It looks like FOPE is set in a "read only" mode,
    I cannot change the MX record, or IP addresses to route mail to.. I would like to formally request the deletion of the Domain from both O365 and FOPE, this should resolve our Email issues. The domain in question is bangorschools DOT org
    I have logged into O365 and deleted the domain leaving the onmicrosoft domain, but It doesnt look like I can do anything with FOPE.. Even if I could just change the IP address to point to google, or someone at Microsoft can remove the account all together?
    Thank you,
    Kyle

    Hi,
    when you have been transitioned to EOP your FOPE-settings will be readonly. So you should contact FOPE/EOP support for help to remove your domain from FOPE, they can do changes.
    Greetings

  • How do I retrieve messages, iMessages, emails in I icloud backup?

    How do I retrieve messages, iMessages, emails in I icloud backup?

    The only way to access text messages in the backup is by restoring the backup to your device.  This explains how to restore an iCloud backup: https://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521.  The backup doesn't include email.  It does include your email account settings, but not the actual email.  Restoring a backup will not recover deleted email.
