IMessage not sending, receiving or synching with iOS 6 devices

Yesterday iMessage on Mac (runing ML 10.8.2) stopped being able to send, received and synch.  Seems to have coincided with changing of passwords, which I believe all devices (iMac, iPhone and iPad) are using the same password.  Has anyone has a similar experience where Messages was working but then stopped.  It is still working on iPhone but is not updating the iPad or iMac. Similary, when I send a Message on the iPad neither the iPhone nor the iMac are updated.

iMessage has stopped on my iMac - ML OS has played up twice in the past week. Reboot etc doesnt solve it. It works fine on iPhone 5 and iPad 2 but will not open on iMac. Error message 994 bad access etc and keeps quitting and message box say  it is inactive. When I got to preferences it Quits! All messages have disappeared aswell. Any ideas? It will cost me £35 to call apple to get the answer( as the iMac is outta warranty but only 4 years old). Help?

  • Imessages not sending/ receiving.  All texts made to other iphone users produce an error message where it shows as it was unable to deliver, however, the messages go through, but error still comes up after each imessage sent.  this does this for each text

    I have the Iphone 5S.  Over the last few days, I continually get mail delivery errors when imessages are sent to any contacts who have iphones.  I have spoken to my friends/ family who are also on the receiving/ sending end of my messages.  They also say that they are receiving an error/ mail delivery error when they send imessages to my phone.  Text messages are working fine (with other phones that are not iphones) and no delivery errors come up.  However, it is just with me sending or receiving imessages.  I have gone in to settings> messages> send & receive and all my information is right.  I have also attempted to cut the phone off and back on (hard reset as well) and this has not fixed the problem.  I then explored to see if my software was out of date, however, i have the most up to date software for the iphone 5 S.  Does anyone know of a way to fix this problem, as it is annoying to both me and anyone else who has an iphone that sends me a text/ imessage as it will *alert* that there was a delivery failure.
    Please help!!

    There could be a problem with iMessage, although usually when there is an outage these boards are flooded with problems.    It could be a very isolated issue, and if just started all of a sudden, it might be something at Apple.
    Although it is annoying, I would just wait it out a few days and see if it goes away on its own.

  • Key Photo lost when synching with iOS devices

    Hi and thanks for reading.
    I have noticed that in the last months, when I synch my iPhoto Events with my iPhone one iPad, the Events on iOS devices are not labelled by the same key photos I have on the MAC on iPhoto.
    Does anybody know the reason?
    Thanks bye

    The iphone/ipad is not a backup/storage device.  They simply mirror the selected content of the computer to which you sync.
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one.

  • Why does it take so long for iTunes Match to  synch with IOS Device?

    This weekend I ripped about 15 CD's that I had purchased from Amazon.com. For some reason it took a long, long time to get into iMatch. Granted some of the CD's weren't popular and may have needed to actually upload as opposed to match with already stored music. But some were new, and popular releases.
    Typcially I rip, let iMatch do its thing and just stream the music, not download, to my IOS devices. I did leave my iMac running for several hours, and even after iTunes on the iMac showed an successful match some music didn't show up for a day, or if it did it was "ghosted" and I could not get it to stream.

    have the same problem since upgrading to i tunes 7 and can only guess it's the size of my library - nearly 200gb. A friend of mine who's library is 20 gb or so has no such problems. If there's another reason and we can do something about it I too would love to know!

  • IMessage not delivering to certain contacts with iOS 7. How to fix?

    iMessages for my iPhone 4 will deliver to some contacts but not others.  I have turned the iMessages off and on. Still will not deliver to the perticular contact I am trying to send to.  I have not updated to the iS 7.0.3 yet.  Not sure if this will even fix all of the problems that have occured with this new operating system.  Any suggestions on why this picks and chooses when to send the iMessages???

    Thank you so much.  I will do that.  To be honest since updating to the iOS 7.0.2, I wish I never had.  This update has given me so many problems when I had none before.  Thanks again!

  • IMessage not sending/receiving pictures (OSX 10.8.2)

    Hey guys,
    I've been fiddeling around with iMessage for quite some time now and I'm just not able to get my MacBook Pro to load images a friend is sending me via iMessage. Weirdly I get the pictures in iMessage on my Server (OSX Server 10.8.2) and my other devices.
    Any ideas?
    iMessage is always telling me that I get a 'Vendor request fail'.

  • Calendar is not synching with iOS devices

    The calendar app on my home-based iMac is not synching-up with my iPhone/Pad. Save for one or two random events, almost nothing shows up on my mobile calendars. In fact, my iMac's app has like 15 categorized calendars whereas the iOS app has only the generic five categories that I don't know where they came from.
    Oddly, on my iMac app, the side column that lists those 15 categories has the heading "iCloud" and then below that it has the heading, again, "iCloud" and below that are those five that DO show up on my iOS apps. Also below that is another heading "US Holidays" and "Birthdays" neither of which I actively generated.
    Now, out of all these discrete calendars (well over 20 at this point) only three of them have, to their right, a mystery icon resembling the sound waves of a WiFi connection which I take to mean these are synched wirelessly but it's not consistent with those calendars which do show up on my iOS. It's like it's completely random.
    I have no idea what's going on. All setting seem to be in order. All software is uptodate. All the other apps I have set to synch are doing so, e.g. Contacts, etc.
    Any suggestions?

    That's just ridiculous.
    I just want the iPhone to sync with my iMac after I've been out. And I want my iMac to sync with my iPhone after I've been at my desk.
    It was fine before the update to Mavericks.
    Please fix this Apple!
    I don't use iCloud. I don't need to. And it feels like I'm being forced to use it.
    Maybe I should switch to Windows.

  • Why only 39 mbps with iOS devices?

    I have an Airport Extreme which runs firmware version 7.4.2. When I got an iPad several months ago, I noticed that the AirPort Utility reported a transfer rate of only 39 mbps to it. Even if the iPad was only a foot away from the router. Macs connect with rates of up to 130 mbps on the 2.4GHz band and 300 mbps on the 5 GHz band. If I switch the router to G-only mode, all the devices connect at 54 mbps.
    I have been unable to find out why this happens. Some other people on the iPad forums reported this too, but I could not find an answer.
    Yesterday I got an Apple TV and it connects at a 39 mbps rate too. So now I suspect that the problem is with the AirPort and not the iPad. It does not seem to work properly with iOS devices. Does anyone know what causes this and if there is a fix for it?

    I have a new Airport Extreme N that I got a few weeks ago and
    I just did a check with my Ipod 3rd gen w/iOS4.1 and it is connected
    at 54 Mbps, and my iMac which I am using at this moment
    is at 300 Mbps and when my MacMini is up, it connects at 300 Mbps.
    It seems that there may be an issue with your Airport or, there may be
    alot of interference in the B/G bands where you are at.
    Also note, that all my Airport settings are at default. I did not do
    anything special except change the IP address assignment numbers.

  • Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?  Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

    Apple is great!
    Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?  Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).
    I compose an iMessage with the destination as my email address and I attach 2 photos I want on my PC.  I send them several times from my iPhone 5C but they never arrive. I look at my ipad later and realize that it's iMessage app is getting ( and swallowing) these emails. I then turn the ipad off.  Still can't get the photos through because iphone is now getting them on it's iMessage.  I turn off the iMessage feature and try to send photos from text msging.  Phone tells me it can't send photos unless iMessage it turned on.  What happened to regular MMS text messaging?  I go and try to send photos as an email attachment and see that there is no option to attach from the stupid email program.  I look up online to learn about the brave new world of apple attachments and send them.
    Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?
    The email program on my iphone is not configured to remove messages from the server.
    If iMessage is turned off I don't have the issue.
    Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

    Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

  • Why Does the iPhone not send/receive MMS?

    Why Does the iPhone not send/receive MMS? this in the works?

    "Why Does the iPhone not send/receive MMS?"
    Apple chose not to offer this as a feature of iphone. E-mail can accomplish the same thing.
    "is in the works?"
    This has been asked and answered countless times. The forum search bar is on the right side of this page.
    Apple has announced that MMS will be included in the 3.0 software due out this summer. Before you ask, all that has been announced is in this link:
