Imessage failing in ios7

imessage fails repeatedly to deliver messages since upgrade to ios 7.  restarting sometimes fixes the issue, but is not an optimal workaround.

Wait a bit, iMessage server might be having issue.

  • Video messages failing in IOS7 everytime

    Video messages failing in IOS7 everytime from my 4s. This never happened until i just updated to 7.02. I think this a bug that needs to be reported, i dont know how to do that.
    What happens is when you try to send a vid attach message from the camera,you get a message failure everytime. You have to go in to messages and hit retry and then it works. Im using a 4s on at&t on my wireless, but it happens on 4g as well.
    Apple needs to look into this.

  • IMessage Failed

    After I updated my Iphone 5 to IOS7 sometimes my clock change by itself and a message appears: "iMessage Failed: Your Date & Time settings need to be updated.". When it happens I can not send iMessages until I set the clock.
    Please, Can you help me?
    Thanks.

    The password change might affect iMessage.  I suggest both of you reset your iPhones (no data will be lost).
    Hold the home and on/off buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.

  • I can no longer receive short videos in iMessage after downloading iOs7 on my iPhone 4 it says "Downloading", only 4.3MB in size

    I can no longer receive short videos in iMessage after downloading iOs7 on my iPhone 4 it says "Downloading", only 4.3MB in size

    I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
    Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

  • Why do I get iMessage failed update date and time in settings

    My iphone5 keeps changing it time zone on it's own and I keep getting a notification in messages saying iMessage failed update your date and time in settings.  I have update it several times and it's keep doing it.  Now it's just frustrating.  How can I take care of this problem for good. 

    I have also been getting the message ever since I got my iPhone 5 on September 12.  I have to reboot the phone to fix the problem or turn the "Set Automatically" off and then back on. This is a glitch likely with Apple's iOS software, but my Verizon store said that have received numerous complaints on this issue, but no patch has been released for it as of yet.

  • Not able to activate imessage after the ios7 update?

    not able to activate imessage after the ios7 update?

    This is what worked:
    1) Backing up the iPhone to iCloud
    2) Resetting the iPhone completely
    3) Restoring from iCloud
    This helped resolve iMessage and Facetime issues.
    Thank you for your help.

  • TS2755 imessage fail

    I cannot send or receive imessages from one person. Could the fact that I have hundreds and hundreds of messages to and from this person on my phone be the cause? Thanks.

    Since I'm having no issues with iMessage, I'm not frustrated at all.
    Perhaps instead of assuming we all know what you're talking about, or that we're having any kind of similar issue, how about you take a moment to explain your particular issue?

  • IMessage failed on iOS 8.1

    My Ipad Air's iMessage function failed after the upgrader to iOS8.1

    Is there any solution to fixing this?

    Hi chrisfromst. mellons,
    If you are having an issue with Messages activation, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

  • IMessage failed to deliver

    I have been having imessage problems since ios 7 upgrade. I send a message to people whom I know have I message turned on. It says failed to deliver with a red exclamation point. So I'm forced to send as a text. They def have imessage on. I have  rebooted and reset the phone holding home and on off button. In addition when I do this I also get a pop up saying cannot verify server identity.  This is all after ios 7 update. How do I fix this. Thx

    Same here. Mine sent after I restarted the phone, but don't want to run into this problem again.  Hopefully a fix soon?  iPhone 5c, all iOS is up to date.

    Hello Lady bowler
    Start your troubleshooting with the article below. It will have you check to make sure that the registration is still good as well as resetting Network Settings.

  • Imessage failing

    I have 2 iphones.  Both share the same apple id.  Since we upgraded to IOS7, we're having problems with iMessages on the phones.
    iMessages sent will often hang in an outbound queue and never deliver.  the iMessage app does NOT revert to standard txt messages when this happens.  We have tried resetting the network settings on the phones and also rebooted the phones.  This does seem to help for a period, but the problem comes back.
    I'm not seeing any service outages on teh apple pages, but this problem does seem to happening a lot.  In addition, we seem to be getting quite a number of 'sorry I can't help you right now' errors from Siri, which never happened this frequently with ios6.
    I had first thought this was due to load on the apple servers during the upgrades, but now I fear that is not the case.  Does anyone else share these issues, or have any solutions?
    thanks!

    Yes, I'm having the exact same problem, and so has my wife. We've been having to reboot our phones every few hours for several days now. We've done all the normal troubleshooting and resetting. Every few hours the messages just won't fully send. Hoping Apple addresses this quickly.

  • TS2755 Imessage trouble with IOS7 update.

    After the ios7 update, often imessages are not delivered. There isn't any clear pattern which are delivered and which are not.  Any suggestions? My phone is an iphone 5, my network is vodafone.

    This seems to be a problem for some iPhones with the iOS 7 update and some got worse in 7.0.2. Apple is apparently working to fix this and is rumored to be fixed in the next update 7.0.3/.
    May have to turn off iMessage for the time being until this is fixed (for reliability).

  • Cannot get mail, connection to the service failed after iOS7

    After upgrading to iOS7, I am getting repeated "Cannot Get Mail:  The connection to the server failed." message everytime I open the email.  I click OK and after it goes away, I do get email later.  But it happens everytime now.  Reset the iPad but still happening.  Do I have to hard reset the darn thing?  Any ideas?

    Don't hard reset.
    Instead, go to Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars and the to Accounts. Note the settings for your iPad, then delete the account - and then reenter the information. Make sure it's 100% correct.
    Many, many people - myself included - had to reenter email settings after the iOS7 update.

  • IPhone 4 iMessage issues on iOS7 not receiving messages

    Right, i recently upgraded to the iOS7 and did the most recent 7.0.2 update, however i now regret upgrading my iPhone 4 to this latest iOS as it has virtually left me with no option but to consider ripping my hair out.
    I have restored my iPhone, reset network settings, signed in and out of iMessage, reset the phone and i still cant receive iMessages. I can receive and send normal SMS text messages. I am certain i can send iMessages as my friends and family seem to receive them, however I have had to resort to using my Macbook to see iMessages from friends and family as trying numerous settings and scouring this support section for any help hasnt worked.
    Can anyone think of anything i may have missed which may allow me to see iMessages on my iPhone again?

    You aren't alone.    I think you've done just about everything you could, now you just have to wait until Apple gets it sorted out.    I personally know about 10 ppl who are having issues, so it most likely is an Apple problem.
