  • IMessage not delivering message

    When I try sending a message it has a red explanation point and says not delivered

    No, it's not that. It's a bug. Maybe restart your iPod touch if that dosent work restart your internet. If BOTH dont work, contact Apple Genius Bar [Not sure if its only mac?] or go to a nearby apple Licensed Retail Store and they should be able to fix it.

    If that's a 'soft' reset, then what's a 'hard' reset?

  • I keep getting a "not delivered" message when I try to send a picture through imessage

    Over the last week each time I sent a picture in iMessage it goes out then I get a "Not Delivered" message. The other person gets the picture even though it says not delivered.  I've shut iMessage off then back on, I've done a hard shutdown/restart.  I'm not sure what else to do.  Is anyone else having this issue and been able to resolve it?
    Thank you!

  • IPhone 5 - "Not Delivered" Message for Pictures Sent via iMessage

    I have received the "not delivered" message when trying to send a picture message via iMessage. The pictures actually are received by the other parties, yet I still get the error message, as do other parties when trying to send photos to me. If the picture is sent via text they send without the error message. Does anyone have any information that could help me with this problem?
    I have the 32GB iPhone 5 on iOS 7.1.1.

    Any errors when attempting to view pics?
    Have you tried Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings?

    I keep getting a not delivered message when I send a text.  The message actually does send but still very annoying. This started when I did the update. Any one have any fix ideas

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

    Anyone having problem with iphone getting a not delivered message after sending pic and it really is getting delivered to recipient.

    Same problem here with and I've done everything shy of a total reset which I also find unacceptable. This problem exists on all iMessage platforms (iPhone, iPad, and Mac) so I don't see how restoring my iPhone would help the problem.

  • IMessage not getting messages on mac but I receive them on my iPod

    I get messages on my iPod so I know people reply but when I look on my mac iMessage I don't have the messages. Same account everything its like my mac isn't receiving push notifications. Is there anyway to "reboot" iMessage on mac. I quit and open. I've signed out and signed back in on Accounts but nothing seems to work.
    Thankyou for your help.

    Hi,
    Can you Send from the Mac ?
    Do the Contacts names go red every time you try them in the 'to Spot to Start a conversation ?  (Not Registered message)
    Or do you get an alert under the text you just sent that read "Not Delivered"
    After that check the Contacts app on both are syncing.
    NOTE.
    com.apple.ichat.StatusMessages.plist  only contains this info
    It is the info in this drop down
    This side has nothing to do with the iMessages accounts.
    The same menu appears in the Menu Bar Drop down (if you display it) and the Messages > My Status item.
    You could try deleting com.apple.imagent.plist as this holds all the accounts that Login in Messages and FaceTime and may give it an suitable "restart"

  • 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.

  • Why do I get a 'not delivered' message when I send a text? The recipient does receive the text.

    When I send an iMessage it says 'delivered', but as soon as the other person reads it it changes to 'not delivered'. But the recipient actually does read the message and replies back. The other person gets the same messages if they are messaging me, but not when they are messaging other people. The problem seems to be at my end.

    I've noticed that this happens a lot to me with some people who are connected to corporate wifi.

  • IMessages not delivered on Mac

    I have an iPhone 6 and MacBook Pro 2001 - everything is up to date. My iMessages stopped sending on my Mac showing a red error "not delivered" every time i try to send any iMessage, but SMS works for those without iPhones. I have read so many posts and tried just about everything and nothing is working for the past 2+ month. I haven't had the time to get help from apple because I am in grad school and need my laptop most of my time. If anyone has any suggestions please help!!!

    Back up all data.
    Quit Messages if it’s running. Force quit if necessary. Relaunch it and test after each of the following steps. If the problem isn't resolved, quit again and go on to the next step.
    Step 1
    Make sure you know the ID and password you use with iMessage. Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    From the menu bar, select
              Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain.
    From the Category list in the lower left corner of the window, select
               My Certificates
    Look carefully at the list of certificates in the right side of the window. If any of them is marked with a red "X" as expired or invalid, delete it. Also delete all items with "iMessage" or "com.apple.idms" in the name, whether valid or not.
    Now select
                Passwords
    in the Category list. Enter "ids" (without the quotes) in the search box in the toolbar of the window. Delete all items of type "application password" that have a name beginning in any of the following ways:
                ids:
                IDS:
                com.apple.ids:
    Quit Keychain Access. Log out and log back in.
    Step 2
    Hold down the option key and select
              Go ▹ Library
    from the Finder menu bar. Move the following items from the Library folder to the Trash (some may not exist):
              Containers/com.apple.corerecents.recentsd
              Caches/com.apple.Messages
              Caches/com.apple.imfoundation.IMRemoteURLConnectionAgent
              Containers/com.apple.iChat
              Containers/com.apple.soagent
              IdentityServices
    Leave the Library folder open. Log out and log back in.
    Step 3
    Go back to the Finder and move the following item from the open Library folder to the Desktop:
              Messages
    Note: you are not moving the Messages application. You’re moving a folder named “Messages.”
    If Messages now works, delete the Messages folder on the Desktop. Otherwise, quit Messages again. Put back the folder you moved, overwriting the newer one that may have been created in its place.
    Step 4
    In the Preferences subfolder, there may be several files having names that begin with any of the following strings:
              com.apple.iChat
              com.apple.ids
              com.apple.imdsmsrecordstore
              com.apple.imessage
              com.apple.imservice
    Move them all to the Desktop. There may also be a file with the name "com.apple.imagent.plist". Move that to the Trash.
    Also in the Preferences folder, there's a subfolder named "ByHost". Open it and do the same thing.
    Log out and log back in. Test again. This time Messages should perform normally, but your settings will be lost. You may be able to put back some of the files you moved to the Desktop in this step. Relaunch and test after each one. Eventually you should find one or more that causes Messages to malfunction. Delete those files and recreate whatever settings they contained.
    If the issue is still not resolved, quit Messages again and put all the items you moved to the Desktop back where they were. You don’t need to replace the items you moved to the Trash. Stop here and post your results.
    If you later decide that you don’t like the results of Steps 3 and 4, you can undo them completely by quitting Messages and restoring the items you deleted in those steps from your backup.

  • IMessage not delivering

    I've seen a couple of different topics about this but none that really detail my problem.  I transferred from MobileMe to iCloud when the transition first started (I use a @me.com email address still) and iMessage has always worked fine.  It seems the last couple of weeks (maybe since MobileMe officially deactivated?) I can't send or recieve iMessages (both on my phone, iPad and now on Mountain Lion) using my Apple ID as the caller ID.  If I set it to my number everything works fine, but the moment I set it to my me.com email address everything just sets to "Not Delivered" with the red exclamation mark.  What's strange is that SOMETIMES the messages go through, even when it says not delivered.  Everyone texting ME also gets Not Delivered, even if I may get the message.
    I've tried resetting network settings, I've tried restoring a back up and I've tried completely restoring my phone in a clean restore, nothing seems to work. And now (I know this isn't the right section) but Messages for Mountain Lion is doing the Not Delivered thing too.  I'm assuming it's just a problem with my Apple ID?
    By the way, I have an iPhone 4, an iPad 3 and a MacBook Pro and it happens on all of them.

    ^ I had a similar solution.
    It seems the issue was the beta version of Messages I had on my iMac. The beta had stopped working a long time ago on my iMac so I just ignored it and left it, waiting for Mountain Lion. As soon as I installed Mountain Lion and cleared the beta Messages, iMessage started working on every one of my products properly.

  • Yosemite iMessage 'not delivered'

    Logged in to iMessage on my Mac Pro.
    Added text forwarding from iPhone. - put in code
    Go to send text message and it says "not delivered"
    restarted router.
    restared imessage
    restarted computer
    Still no go. Any ideas?

    After doing what blueno suggested I did have to reboot.  I then had to provide my password lots of times when I logged in.  That still didn't work so I logged out of my iCloud account in Message and logged back in, repaired, and it worked!
    This is what I did:
    1) Open Key Chain Access ( go to Applications>Utilities)
    2) Select Login at the top left side under Keychains
    3) Select All Items on the lower left side under Category
    4) Search for entries of IDS.
    5) Highlight and delete all entries that has IDS.
    6) Search for entries of FaceTime
    7) Highlight and delete all entries of FaceTime
    8) Search for entries of Messages (I also found entries containing Message (singular, not plural), but didn't delete these.)
    9) Highlight and delete all entries of Messages
    10) Reboot!
    11) Log back in and when requested log back into iCloud account (I got asked for the password multiple times)
    12) Log out of iCloud account in iMessage (Not sure if this is needed)
    13) Log back into iCloud account in iMessage.
    14) On iPhone in Settings/Messages/Text Message Forwarding turn off forwarding to my iMac.
    15) Turn Text Message Forwarding back on for my iMac (re-pairs and I entered the new number)
    16) Could send text messages from my iMac!!!!!

  • IMessage not sending messages on iPhone 5

    New iPhone 5 has been having all kinds of problems with messages.  Phone is set to use iMessage and some are delayed for DAYS before arriving.  When someone tries to send and iMessage, it will generally get stuck at Sending.  Outgoing iMessages say delivered but the person won't receive them until I get home and my iPhone connects to my WiFi (at which point I also get a flood of iMessages that were sent all day long).  Tried turning off LTE to see if that helps. No luck.  If someone is having trouble sending, they can Send As Text Message (SMS) and the message goes right through.  I have turned off iMessage because that is the only way I can reliably get messages.  Never had this problem on iPhone 4 that the 5 replaced.
    Anyone else seen this or have a solution. Tried rebooting iPhone but that didn't help.  iMessage off is the only thing that allows me to get messages when they are sent (and to send messages).

    Having the same problem with my iphone 4S. I can send/receive sms messages no problem but for some reason I cannot send/receive imessages. I have been able to do a network reset and it works but only for a limited time.
