IMessage isnt working from iPhone 4s to iPhone 6

since updating the iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 6 and because I have all iPhones in my house in one iTunes account my husbands and daughter have iPhones 4s and iMessage will not work... The "waiting on activation" stays there and will not work... I resart iPhone... I put on and off imessage and facetime and I reset twice both iPhones too.. And still imessage will not work... we cannot text each other.. What we can do

Hello Valfromvalleystreamny,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having activation issues with iMessage after a recent update, and/or are unable to send or receive messages, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful:
If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime - Apple Support
If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Also, I'm unclear if this is what you meant, but if you were saying that all of your devices are sharing the same Apple ID/iTunes account, that would generally not be recommended, as noted here:
Can I share my Apple ID with someone else? 
You shouldn't share your Apple ID account information with other people. Each person should have their own Apple ID.
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID - Apple Support
Sincerely,
- Brenden

  • IMessage No texts from iPhones or iPads.

    iMessage No texts from iPhones or iPads.  I have an 4s with no data plan since wifi is very available where I live. iMessage works fine through Wifi, both sending and getting texts and sends out my messages through SMS if there is no wifi. But it cannot get texts from iPhones or iPads through SMS. The other iPads and iPhones  automatically recognize my phone, its Apple ID and get the blue bubble. So they automatically  send  messages out via iMessage not SMS. When this happens I do not get the texts on my phone unless I amconnected to Wifi. So I will never get any messages sent by other iPhones  with Apple Id. I get messages from other phones but not iPhones. When I get into a wifi zone I get all the messages that were sent.
    I have spoken to Apple twice and was told the only work around is to get a data plan.
    I have tried turning off iMessage, no help, taken my email address off the message send and receive options, I have done a network reset and a reboot all to no avail. So as long as other iPhones get that blue bubble from my iPhone I will never get texts from them because they are sent out as data not SMS.
    It seems that the iPhone cannot tell if other iPhones have a data connection available or not.
    Anyone else had any experience with this situation?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply...this is what I was thinking but wanted to make sure

  • Blocked text msg on carrier would imessage still work between iphones

    So I am wanting to get an iphone 5. My family plan on Verizon does not have Texting actually it is blocked. Would imessage still work between iphone on wifi and 4g?

    They're not phones, thus they don't activate either iMessage or FaceTime for your phone number, only the Apple ID. That's why. IF you don't use your phone number, you should be able to activate using just your Apple ID, but as it is a phone, I suspect it will get stuck trying to activate using the phone number. You could try activating with the sim removed...in essence activate as an iPod touch.

  • Baclight isnt working on iphone 3?

    backlight isnt working on iphone 3?

    Hello ciarafitz,
    Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.  It's very hard to use an iPhone when it isn't backlit, so I would be concerned too.  I found some steps that might help with this:
    Display has no backlight or dark screen
    Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
    If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.

  • HT3529 My imessage isnt working. Why is that???

    My imessage isnt working. Why is that?

    There has been an outage for both iMessage and FaceTime today.  Started at around Noon time, PDT.
    There is nothing you can do from your end, this problem is on Apple's servers.

  • Imessage not working with iphone 4

    my imessage stopped working with my iphone 4.  it was working but then i had to restore it because it got deleted by mistake.  i've since restored it twice and it's still not working

    Apps and contacts can by synced back to the device through iTunes. The backup handles different content. This support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946 tells you what is in the backup. If that doesn't matter to you, you can restore as a new device and see if that helps. There could be something in the backup that is creating the problem.

  • How do you send iMessage to iPad from iphone, I cannot type "@" in message

    I have my ipad updated and set it to use my email for the imessage in my iPad
    then, I realized that I cannot type "@" in the imessage in iPhone (therefore, cannot type mail address)
    how to do send an imessage from iPhone to iPad?
    thanks for the help

    I am having the same problem. The email addresses for my contacts do not appear on the iPhone, they do appear on the iPad. So if I want to imessage my wife from my iPhone I only get the option to send to her email address, if I do it from my iPad I get her email.
    The only way that I have found so far is to go into my Contacts and at the very bottom select Send Message, then I can select her email.
    For some reason the @ is missing since when I select the 123 button it gives me the dial keyboard instead of the special characters keyboard.

  • Me outgoing mail server not working from iPhone / Reply to email address

    Hi, I have MM sent up on my iPhone and Mac, the SMTP outgoing mail server does not work from the iPhone but does from the Mac, to get around this I changed the outgoing server on the iPhone to my optusnet outgoing server, that has been working fine, the problem I have is if someone reply's to a email from the phone it gets bounced back becuase the reply to email address for me is @mac.com not from @me.com
    I have tried to change the reply to email address in the phone but it only allows you to change the name not the @mac.com
    I have only ever had a Me account not a .Mac account so I dont know why its locked to @mac

    I deleted the MM account on the phone and reinstalled it again. Now it is working.

  • How do you send a imessage to ipad from iphone

    How do you send a imessage to ipad from iphone

    The iPad must have iMessage registered and enabled, and you need to address the iMessage to an email address that is set up and selected to be used with iMessage on the iPad. If the iPad owner also has an iPhone, an iMessage can be addressed to the iPhone's cell phone number if the iPad owner has their iPhone number selected to be reached at with iMessage on the iPad.
