IMessage getting "Not Delivered" error, Message Send Failure

I upgraded to ios5 on my 3GS last night, seemed to have no problems, no errors.  When I try sending a text another iphone users, it defaults to sending an iMessage, but then says "Not Delivered" in red, with a red exclamation point next to it.  My daughter, on the same network and same house can send imessages to me, but I do not receive them. 
In my settings, I've tried turning iMessage on and off, tried setting "Send As SMS" both on and off, no changes.  "Receive At" has my phone number, and my apple id email address.  I've tried restoring and reinstalling ios, restarting the phone numerous times, nothing seems to work.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Nancy

I'm in the same boat with my new 4S. I installed 5.0.1 last night and it was working fine until this morning. When I woke up, I tried to send a text message with no luck. iMessage works fine, and I can RECIEVE text messages. Just no dice on sending any. At all.

  • HELP....why do I keep getting "Not Delivered" errors when trying to send a Group MMS text message?

    I am trying to send a Group MMS text. There are 6 recipients. I hit "send" and the progress bar goes almost to the very end, and then hangs up....and eventually I get a "Not Delivered" error message. I click on the "i" icon and it says "your message was not sent. Tap try again to send this message." I've done that time and time again, and the same thing happens. What am I doing wrong?

    Try sending it as a regular text message... turn off iMessage.

  • Not delivered error message when sending photos using messages

    When using messages on iPhone 5 to send photos, I receive a not delivered error but the recipient tells me it has been received. I have tried turning phone off/on, signing out of messages on all devices then signing back in. Still occurring. Any ideas??

    Bump. I have the same problem. Anyone shed some light on this?

  • I am getting iMessage "not delivered" error message even though my iMessages are going through. how do I fix?

    I am using iOS 7.0.4 and recently when using iMessage, I am getting undeliverable error messages whenever I send an iMessage. This occurs regardless of whether I'm using my iPhone, iPad or MacBook. The thing is, the messages are still going through. The attached screenshot was taken from a friends device who is getting the same messages and obviously receiving them.

    Yep, same boat... And while I used to get messages simultaneously on my iPad and iPhone, it seems my iPhone is the only one receiving and it's not syncing convos like it was. 
    The undeliverable thing is HUGE though and driving my Apple family crazy!!
    Any news on when we can expect an update to fix it?

  • Keep getting 'NOT READY' error message when trying to re-authorize my computer after a hard drive re

    need help, very frustrated
    can not get it to work
    also having trouble with Reader, I get a message that the book can not be downloaded because it is already in my library but it does not appear and so I am unable to read it

    also having trouble with Reader  Do you mean with ADE (Adobe Digital Editions), or with an ereader device.
    Might be worth double-checking your authorization.
    If that doesn't help, post back with more detail.
    ~~~~~
    Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
    Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help.
    Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.
    A common incorrect message informs you that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused.
    This can often be resolved by completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to the Library screen on ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).
    Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your (old) Adobe ID.
    In extreme cases on the mac, the following extra step has helped some people.  Navigate to /Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions and drag the activation.dat file to the trash. If you are using 10.7, see Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1265248?tstart=0

  • Keep getting "not responding" error message as DW hangs

    I have had the following problem consistently used DW 12.1, as well as the version that was with CS 5.5. And I am almost sure it has something to do with the html or other code on my pages, but I thought a DW guru might help.
    Basics First: DW 12.1 with the subscription. 64 bit Window 7.
    Files that I am editing will periodically freeze, and then I get the "not responding" message above the menu bar. It freezes for 10 to 30 seconds (IT FEELS LIKE 10 TO 30 HOURS) and then starts working again.
    Of course it only seems to happen when I'm on a roll making many duplicate mundane edits and then BOOM... can't do anything except shoot laser eye daggers at the screen and try to prevent myself from hyperventilating.
    Here's the thing. I work on many sites; and this generally only happens on the site of my main client. I work off o local copies of the site, but I inherited them and they are massively full of bloat code, scripts, etc. I would not be surprised in the least if DW is trying to run or access some of this and this is the cause.
    I turned off the "Display external files" option; are there other options I should try? It really is the absolute most annoying thing in my life right now (we should all be so lucky) and I'm hoping you might have a way to fix it.
    I'd be happy to post code, but this page is a typical example where I might get the error 10 times in a 30 minutes while working on it...

    Thanks!

    Retard, (I know that sounds hilarious, but I don't know your name - no offense please! )
    Like you said, if this happens only primarily on one of the many sites, it generally comes down to the type of code on that site.
    And after looking at the URL you posted, seems like that page uses a lot of external references - JS and CSS.
    Especially the last few lines:
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://njcdn.worldsecuresystems.com/CatalystScripts/Java_OnlineShopping.js?vs=b1763.r38875 7"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://njcdn.worldsecuresystems.com/CatalystScripts/Java_Cookies.js?vs=b1763.r388757"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://njcdn.worldsecuresystems.com/CatalystScripts/Java_Box.js?vs=b1763.r388757"></script>
    Also, a couple CSS, JS references in the <head> section.
    'Display External Files' only disables showing external files - but still loads them.
    Can you try removing the external references and try working with the webpage in DW for a few minutes to see if the same problem persists? If it does, we know what was causing your issue.
    Also, run your site through W3 validator to check and resolve errors: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.healthfirst.com%2Facls-kit.html&charset =%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0

  • I am unable to view any videos from the BBC website, getting "Not Available" error message. Works ok with Internet Explorer.

    When I go to the BBC (British Broadcasting Corp) website, and click on a video, I get a "Not Available" message. I do not encounter this problem with Internet Explorer. I currently have
    the Firefox 3.6.18 version installed. Thank you.

    Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

  • Message Send Failure, iPhone 5.

    Hi,
    I am on EE and have been getting a lot of message send failures; however the messages appear to be going through :S.
    Why does it tell me they have not been sent when it seems they have?
    Thanks, Jack

    I'm definitely getting the same thing. I'll attempt to send an SMS message with a perfect connection and it will immediately pop up with a message send failure, before it even attempts to send. However, the person seems to always be getting the message regardless. When I resend the message, the person I'm sending it to asks why I sent it twice.
    What's going on? Should I reinstall iOS 6?

  • Why do i keep getting "Message Send Failure" every time I send pictures on iMessage? All are sent to other iPhone/iPad users.

    For a few months now, I've been getting "Message Send Failure" every time I send pictures to other Apple devices (iPhones, iPads, Macs), despite the recipient receiving them. So, even though the pictures are going through, the "Message Send Failure" notice keeps showing up. I checked with other people who have Apple devices and they also encountered the same issue whenever they send pictures (usually send an email to make sure it was received).  I thought when iOS 7.1.1 came out that it would fix this issue. Has anyone else encountered the same issue? Thanks!

    I started getting the error on my iPhone 5 (iOS 7.1.x) several weeks ago - if not a month ago. Today I finally decided to run through a wholesale sign-out/sign-in process on all my devices (iMac, MacBook, iPad 1, iPad 3 and iPhone5) and it worked!
    I signed out of iMessage/Messages on all devices. I also deleted my iCloud accounts on all my devices (make sure you tell the software to keep local copies when you are prompted - relax, it all stays in the cloud, too) Then I signed back in to iMessage/Messages and then re-added iCloud accounts all around. I just sent a message with a photo attachment and did not get the "Not Delivered" message - yay!
    (FYI - even though I received the error every time I sent a message with an image attachment, the message still went through - very, very happy, though to finally get rid of the message...)

    Help! I have recently updated LR5 and before doing so I was able to email files to clients! (Very Convenient) Now my problem is I have not been able to get pass this error message reading "failed to send" which gives no further detail about what to do to rectify the situation. Someone please guide me through this! Thanks in advance!

    Did this ever get resolved, as I am having the same issue.  Trying to learn LR5 AFTER a decade using Aperture.   I was able to set up a validated account but when I try to send an e-mail or photo I get the simple " Failed to Send " message.   Using latest version of Mac OS X.

  • Imessage "not delivered" error to some people and not to others? Both using verizon iphones

    I am using an iPod touch 5th gen.
    Has worked really well sending Imessage. pretty much use it as a phone because there is no service where I live.
    All of a sudden today I started getting "cannot deliver" or "message not delivered" errors when trying to text my friend. Yet it continues to text other friends as well. This error is also true with Facetime, and doesn't work when using an email or phone number (for a couple specific contacts)
    Really confused as to why that would happen? Is that what happens if you get blocked may be?

    And also the person(s) ive been trying to send it to are not recieving the messages (sometimes people have the error message displayed even though they get sent)
    And they do have Wi-fi/data and haven't like recently moved or switched plans or anything.

  • I get nothing but error messages, -"Your IMAP server wants to alert you to the following: 113 that mail is not available" or 364? there are hundreds stacked up.You must give answers to how to fix these when we do "search" add the error code number

    I get nothing but error messages, -
    "Your IMAP server wants to alert you to the following: 113 that mail is not available"  or  the same with:  364? 
    Now there are hundreds stacked up on my desktop.
    I cannot find the answer anywhere. You need to  give answers to how to fix these errors because when I  "search" "error code" or the number there is NOTHING. NOTHING!  Yet you give us these stupid error codes
    then you do not give us ANYTHING on how to fix these. These error codes make me so mad it makes me hate outlook, and hate the developers and hate microsoft.  How in the world can you give us ERROR codes without the explanation of what
    to do or how to fix it. You need to  add each  error code number in your "search" then explain what it is and how to fix it.  I am not a tech. I am a lawyer. I have googled the entire string of error code and nothing is clear.
    So, for the last several years, I get these error codes. Also, there is another error code that won't go away--it is the password error code that asks if I want to store the password. Yes, so I say YES. but it pops back. I am sick of this. This is the reason
    I hate Microsoft and I love google. #1 they respond to error, #2 them try to fix them you do not. I paid the full price to buy the OUtlook 2010, almost $500 just to get outlook, and all I got was error codes. I could not even open it because all I would get
    was that error codes and NO ONE knew how to fix them. WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM that you cannot fix the stupid error codes that you imbed? PLEASE HELP

    Hi,
    I understand how frustrated you are when facing such an issue, maybe I can provide some suggestions on the problem.
    Based on the description, you should be using an IMAP account setup in Outlook. As for the error message, usually it's caused by a corrupted message on the Server. I suggest you logon the Webmail site, check if sending/receiving emails works well.
    If you find any unusual emails that cannot be read or sent, try deleting them to try again.
    I also suggest you create a new profile to setup the IMAP account:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829918/en-us
    Contact your Email Service Provider to get the correct and latest account settings, since you have been using Outlook for years, some settings may have been changed while you haven't been informed.
    For the steps to setup an account in Outlook 2010, please refer to:

  • In the past month or so my iPhone 5 battery is dying in hours, whereas it used to last all day at least.  Also, I am getting constant "message send failures" when texting and frequent dropped phone calls.

    Just recently my Iphone 5 battery is dying in a just a few hours, it used to last all day or more.  I'm not doing anything different with it, although I have started shutting down apps etc. to conserve battery.  I get constant "message send failures and frequently dropped phone calls. 

    My best bet would be to restore the phone. Back it up to itunes, and then reset it Factory settings. This way, any corrupt software will be removed, and you can start fresh. Make sure you back it up first. By the sounds of it, you are using the phone for business and probably need the data from it. Hope this helps!
