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 found the following comment the other day that goes some way to explaining why iChat might have problems with some NAT routers:
http://www.technologyevangelist.com/2007/02/ichatav_the_bestun.html#comment-53326
While it doesn't offer any solutions it might be worth firing off some iChat feedback to Apple referencing it. It seems like it might be a trivial bug for Apple to fix and could well alleviate many of the problems people are having.
In the mean time if your router is one that has SIP ALG you could try disabling it and forwarding all relevant ports to your machine.

How can I set up iMessage to ensure the text messages people are sending me arrive both on my computer AND on my iPhone as well?

Use the same ID in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on both devices and have people use that ID. Your iPhone number would be a good choice.

I installed sync on my home pcs and they sync bookmarks perfectly, but today I installed it on my pc at work and it won't sync - no error messages pop up and it own't sync using the company network or my cellular modem.

If you get an error that says can't backup, try moving the existing backup file to a safe location and thry again. again. You can find the location of the backup file here:

I can create documents in Mavericks Pages and Keynote. When I attach them to an email and send to others also using Mavericks, they can't open the attachments. Why might this be?

I can create documents in Mavericks Pages and Keynote. When I attach them to an email and send to others also using Mavericks, they can't open the attachments. Why might this be?

The new Pages v5 (Mavericks) uses a new file format with the same extension name (.pages). Older versions of Pages cannot open these documents unless you first export them as Word (.docx) and send these as Mail attachments. The same is true if you originate an IOS Pages v2.01 .pages document.
You may be sending to people who chose not to install Pages v5 on Mavericks and continue to use Pages ’09 v4.3 instead — especially for the superset of features that are presently not in Pages v5.

I share an Apple ID with someone but we are now on iOS8 and getting each others messages on our iphones and ipad. How can I split the account safely as well as protect icloud backed up data?

Use different Apple IDs for iMessage (and also FaceTime) to avoid getting each others text messages (and FaceTime calls). One of you should go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive (and Settings>FaceTime), tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID. You can continue to shared the same ID for the iTunes store and other services.

"printer is offline" appears on one computer but not the other (both windows 7)

printer is offline" appears on one computer but not the other (both windows 7)

This is pretty common to see when your firewall kicks in and blocks certain communication paths the printer takes.
Here's a list of ports and programs that when allowed through the firewall, will restore communiction.
Ports to open:
UDP ports: 427, 161, 139
TCP ports: 9200, 9220, 9290, 9500
Programs to allow:
hpiscnapp.exe
hpoews01.exe
hpofxm08.exe
hposfx08.exe
hposid01.exe
hpqkygrp.exe
hpqste08.exe
hpqtra08.exe
hpznui01.exe
hpzwiz01.exe
SLP_Service (also known as UDP 427)
Have your security software provider walk you through allowing these items through your firewall.
If this does not fix your issue, it is most likely an issue with the driver configuration. Your router may have assisgned the printer a new IP address and this can be changed in the properties of the existing driver.

jsavage9621,
It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect. This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone. It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here. I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you. I look forward to speaking with you.

I have just finished the upgradation to an iOS 6.1.3 and have lost sound in Music and Videos. I am using an iPhone 4S. My iPhone doesn't produce sound when playing Youtube or local camera videos. However ringtones and notifications sound works fine.It is quite strange as well. Have you encountered this issue before?If yes then what's the solution?

I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

I have an iPhone 5s and an iPad 2 both using the same Apple ID how can I FaceTime the iPad from the iPhone?

Thanks for your help though

Imessage for some contacts and sms for others

My wife just bought a 4S, my (grown, married) daughter has a 3GS upgraded to iOS 5. My wife would like to send text messages to my daughter but my daughter does not have SMS on her phone plan, so messages cost $0.25 each. The question is how can my wife use iMessage to send messages to my daughter so that they are only received when my daughter is on wifi (without incurring SMS charges), but also allow my wife to send SMS messages to all her other friends.
I've read that there is an option to turn off SMS/MMS. This will let my wife iMessage my daughter, but would block her from texting her other contacts. Instead of having my wife turn this on and off several times a day, I am looking for something simple that will allow this work a

Since daughter can receive SMS messages (but prefers not to), and wife can send SMS messages to non-iphone holders, how to prevent wife from accidentaly sending an SMS to daughter?
Already answered.
She needs to go into Settings, Messages and turn off "Send As SMS". That way if the recipient is someone that can receive iMessage and it isn't available it will not send it as an SMS. That is the purpose of this setting. It only impacts those you iMessage with. With this setting off you can still send SMS to those individuals you normally send SMS to.

My music is so messed up i have 3 copies of some things and cant get other things to play?

I just happened to buy a new computer within a week of starting icloud. My music is so messed up, I have 3 and 4 copies of some folders and some songs listed wont even play. I cant find one spot where all my music is listed. I'm so lost. Its messed up on my pc, iphone and ipad. Please someone help.
My pictures are the same mess but I'm more worried about my music since my pictures are also on a thumb drive.

If you still have your old computer with your iTunes library on it, copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the music folder) from your old computer to your new on (replacing the folder on it now) using one of the methods explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527.

I have an iPhone and an iPad min. Using my iPhone I can message any of my contacts. Using my Ipad, I cannot message new contacts. What can I do to my iPad to fix this problem?

This problem with my iPad arose only recently, and perhaps at the same time as I updated the iOS software (that could be coincidental).
I have checked the imessage registration and done all the tricks people suggest when your iPad doesn't message to anyone. My problem seems unique to new contacts, as I can freely message older contacts.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

OK, I feel like a bit of a dolt, but I pass on this info for my co-dolts:
I contacted Apple Support and told them my problem. They advised that the problem is most likely the fact that my new contacts are not using Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, etc.). If that is true, that would explain why I can send them messages via my iPhone but not my iPad.
As I understood it, the iPhone can use either iMessage (green print) or SMS (blue print) to communicate with other devices, whether Apple or not. However, the iPad does not have that option (I guess cuz it's not a cell phone). If the recipient is using, say, a Samsung product, the iPad can't send a message to it. (My iPad actually says this under the Messaging heading in Settings, but I did not grasp the significance at the time since I did not compare it to my iPhone).
To test this theory, I used my iPhone to message my new contacts. They confirmed that they were not using Apple devices. It was just a coincidence that all my new contacts were not Apple users.

My Iphone has been set with other Apple ID and so I can't use my Iphone

Dear everyone,
I bought a used Iphone 6 some monts ago. Seller told me that he forgot the user and password of his apple ID (All details of his Apple ID). So now I don't know how to find the Apple ID user and password to use my Iphone.
I am unhappy realy ;( ;( ;(
How do I find the user and password of the apple ID that my Iphone was set with them??
Can I find them with use of my Iphone's IMEI numbers???
Or Can I use my Iphone in Other way?such as without These username and password??
I can't use my Iphone..
Please help my solve this issue soon.

If a second-hand iOS device has been 'Activation locked' then only the previous owner can unlock it, either by providing you with the account ID and password, or by removing it from his list of devices (as he should have done before selling it) - please see http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4515
If you are unable to contact him to do this then I'm afraid you will not be able to use the device - there is no other way of unlocking it at all. Apple cannot unlock it for you, and the IMEI number won't help.
You should if possible return it to wherever you bought it and ask for a refund as in this event the device is completely useless.

I have update my iphone 4 and my Mums they both use the same apple id and are both backed up to icloud now her contacts are on my phone.

Hi I updated my iPhone 4 and my Mum's iPhone 4 to software version 5.0. They both use the same apple id and they are both backed up to iCloud. Once I updated my mum's phone i noticed that her contacts are now on my phone i deleted some of them but then she noticed that they had been deleted off her phone to. Has anyone got any ideas please.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your password for logging into iCloud cant be different than your password for your Apple ID if you use that Apple ID to log into iCloud, it sounds as though you are using 2 accounts.
