IMessage is saying messages are delivering but they are not! How do I sort this?

Hi,
If my girlfiriend sends me a test message from her iphone, the imessage window says it's delivered, but I don't get the message.
She currently has two conversations in her messages, with me, one has my phone number highlighted as the contact, the other has my e-mail address highlighted as the contact. The conversation with my e-mail as a contact works properly, the one with my phone number as a contact says the message is delivering, but the message does not arrive.
I can send a messge to her phone number or e-mail address and they will deliver.
Any idea how to fix this?
Thanks.
p.s. I'm on iOS 5.0.1, she's on iOS 5. Both iPhone 4.

It sounds like your phone did not register correctly with the iMessage service.
On your phone, go to Settings > Messages and turn iMessage OFF. Wait about a minute and then turn it back ON.
Underneath iMessage ON, verify that you see the message "iMessages can be sent between iPhone, iPad, and iPad touch."
Then have your girlfriend send another message to your phone number to test it.

    One workarwound is to do the following:
    1. Remove the digital content from iTunes (but keep the files)
    2. Rename all .m4v files to .mp4 files
    3. Add the files back to iTunes
    This seems to fix the problem for me
    Hope this helps

    The first thing you should do is contact your carrier and make sure that your account is properly provisioned to send text messages.

  • IMessage saying messages are not being delivered... but they are...

    This past week I have been sending out texts on imessage, but about 80% of them are coming back saying they aren't being delivered. But everyone seems to be getting them and responding. They also have said the same thing happens to them. I thought it might be a wifi issue and that I'm going through a work wifi, but it happens even when I'm on LTE. Any ideas as to why this is happening?

    I've been having the same issue for the past couple of days too.  It first says "Delivered" then changes to "Not Delivered", even though (at least most of the time) the messages seem to be going through.  Only started happening to me on the weekend.  Doesn't seem to make a difference if I'm using wifi or the 3G network.  iMessage is only enabled on my iPhone.  I've tried switching iMessage off and then on again as per some suggestions.  Nothing seems to help.

  • I have installed my lexmark x1100 printer to macpro but it keeps telling me that the ink pots are wrong and they are not how can over ride this issue please help

    I have installed my lexmark x1100 printer to my macpro lion but though it registers its there it keeps telling me that the inkjet pots are not in position or wrongly inserted, how can I overcome this problem which is driving me crackers!!!!!

    Thanks for the additional info. If the printer works using your Dell Laptop, then the printer is working fine. The problem is with the driver. The Lexmark X1100 is only compatible up to Mac OS 9.2.2. If you have the Mac OS X, unfortunately, it's not compatible with that OS.
    You might want to consider purchasing a new printer - preferably a network printer since you have multiple computers. We do have printers that are currently on sale online. You can check it out here: http://bit.ly/KQBDe0
    Those printers are compatible with the newest Operating Systems both for Windows and Mac. It also has drivers for Linux.

    Unlikely.
    Try connecting to a different computer, or simply a different USB port.
    Try a different cable.
    Worst case scenario, take the device to an Apple store for evaluation.

    "iMessage allows users to send texts, photos, videos, contact information, and group messages over Wi-Fi or 3G to other iOS 5 users, thus providing an alternative to standard SMS messaging for all users with devices running iOS 5."
    This is what it is and what it does. You both have to have iOS 5 installed on your supported device. If that's not what your setup is, then that's your answer.

  • Mail deception - says messages are sent out but are not delivered

    The Mail program appears to send my outgoing e-mail messages but does not actually do so. When I send a new message or reply to a message, Mail behaves as though the message has been sent: the spinner runs and the swoosh sound occurs when the message leaves my Outbox. The message then appears in my Sent folder. However, the mail is never received by the intended recipients. I apparently operated like this for weeks until my sister mentioned my lack of response to her e-mail a couple of weeks prior. (Honest, I really did reply.) Upon investigation I learned that others had not received messages I had sent. I then tried sending a message to myself at the same account and at my work account (different ISP) and the messages were not received.
    I am using a POP account at core.com. If I access my account via the core.com webmail site, I am able to actually send messages. Getting them from the Mail program on my computer is the problem.
    I noticed several other questions posted about Mail not sending messages but those queries mentioned receiving an error message or the program timed out trying to send and knowing immediately the mail was not sent. My situation seems unique in that the program is behaving deceptively - it tells me a message is sent but it is not.
    I followed the steps Apple posted regarding Leopard Mail not sending messages but no success. I am using OS X5.6 on an Intel MacBook.
    I have spoken with the core.com technical support staff and they assure me the problems is with the Mail program or my iMac. They are most likely correct. As an experiment I set up MS Entourage as an e-mail client for my core.com account. Entourage had no trouble sending messages to intended recipients.
    I have double and triple checked the settings in Mail Preferences. The core.com technical support representative confirmed I am using the correct settings and suggested I use a different e-mail client program and forget about Apple Mail. However, I understand it is not possible to export information from Mail to a different e-mail client program so I am reluctant to make the change. The representative also suggested I remove Mail and reinstall it as a way of possibly correcting the problem. I do not want to go that route if I can avoid doing so. If that is the best approach, how do I go about saving my messages and addresses in Mail before removing Mail? Other suggestions to get Mail to behave properly?
    Thank you!

    I am thinking your messages have been sent, but stopped somewhere along the path of server, perhaps even by your provider, due to some sudden lack of trust of your messages or identity.
    Try sending a message only in Plain Text -- you could simply open one of your messages to your sister, click on Message in the menubar and choose Send Again. Then before sending click on Format, and choose Make Plain Text. Before sending click on Window and choose Activity. Watch the report of Activity as transmission of the message should be taking place.
    Do you use a Signature, and if so, does it contain any links or HTML? Also, do this test only with a message you composed, and not one you Forwarded or a Reply.

  • Help!? cant gift songs due to error message album only - but they are not!

    Hi!
    I recently updated my itunes and now 9 out of 10 songs I try to gift won't as they are apparantly 'album only' - but they aren't!
    anyone know if this is solvable? Or is it a glitch with itunes and vista - but I had no problems till I said yes to latest version of itunes!
    many thanks

    Contact iTS support about it.
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/
    They'll probably need to know the exact track names. You can right-click on tracks in ITS, "Copy iTunes store URL", and paste them into your message.
