If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact in the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
Back up and restore your device as new.

  • IMessage not working for one iphone contact?

    For one particular contact, I am unable to send messages through iMessage and they instead send as texts. Both of us have iPhones and have checked the settings. I reset my iMessage, and also restarted my phone but the messages continue to send as texts. Is there any way to fix this?

    I had this problem, I fixed it by editing the mobile number in contacts. Just deleted the last digit and typed it back in. I thought the contact had iMessage turned off, and her go through settings but it was set correctly. It seems the early iOS 7 iMessage issues caused this issue in later version of iOS 7.1.x
    I had two contacts I had to do this to.

  • IMessage not working with ONE contact after changing phone number

    Ok.. I changed my phone number Friday night. (same device) Once I restarted my phone and programmed it (*228) everything was working fine except one contact with iMessage. Since Friday night just one contact will only go through as SMS message. My other imessage users are all going back and forth as blue. This person I am having the problem with is also sending and receiving imessages with other contacts, just to me it is going through as text as well. Any help? I've shut iMessage off and on a bunch of times, turned the phone on and off... nothing seems to be working.. Any advice would be great!

    I have the same trouble with one of my contacts and I have been using my iPhone 4S and iPad (3rd generation) for a while. I hope we can get a solution.

  • BBM and PIN not working for one contact!

    For one BBM contact I cannot send BBMs or PIN anymore. It is driving me crazy.  
    When I send a PIN i get the message "service blocked" and a red cross.  BBMs will send, I get the tick but no D or R.  This is only happening with one contact.  He is having problems only with me as well.  We can send each other text messages etc. We are both in the UK and with o2.   Previously i've had no problems with BBM.  
    Does anyone know what's wrong?
     It's so frustratng because this contact is the reason I bought a blackberry and he bought one, so we could use bbm as he works in an area with bad reception.

    Hello katie_d,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community.
    The following article should help regarding the issue you are experiencing with sending BBM™ and PIN messages:

  • *imessage not working for few contacts

    Hello,
    I have an iPhone 4 and about a few days ago, my imessages refuses to work for only a few of my contacts. For example, I tried to send an imessage to my sister the other day (who also has an iPhone 4 with imessage activated & on), but the "send" button is green and will only allow me to send as text messages. This was the same for my sister who tried to send me an imessage; she can only send it through text to me.
    I tried turning the imessage system on and off and even re-activated it for both my sister and me, but it still didn't solve the problem.
    My mom who has a mini-iPad is also having this problem with me. She nor I cannot send messages through imessage either...
    This is really frustrating because this was sort of the main communication source between her and me since I am away at school.
    If anyone can please help us out or even give us a few helpful pointers, I will be more than greatly appreciated.
    Thank you again and you can also e-mail me at [email protected] for quicker communication.
    Thank you!
    Jenny

    Hi everyone,
    I solved my problem by using "razmee209"'s help as well as reseting network settings.
    Thank you!

  • IMessage not working for one recipient, but is for others

    I recently restored my iPhone 4 from an iCloud backup (I accidentally deleted 2.5 years worth of messages from my fiancee that I didn't want to lose).  Now, I can use iMessage with everyone except for my fiancee.  I've tried several other people, and they receive iMessages, but for her it defaults to normal SMS messages.  In Settings, I've tried signing out of iMessage and back in, I've tried logging out of iCloud and deleting that data from my phone before logging back in, I even tried making a FaceTime call with my fiancee (which worked perfectly).  Any ideas?

    Actually yes.  I was just coming back here to close this ticket, since I just got a message from her that she had accidentally turned it off.  At least it was a simple fix.  Thanks for the suggestion.

  • IMessage not working on one contact

    okay, so I was trying to use iMessage with my new friend and she has an iPhone too. but when I messaged her it turned into SMS. I checked my settings and my iMessage switch is on and I tried messaging with another friend and it was completely fine. I tried everything but it keeps sending it as an SMS. I have an Iphone 5s with the software 8.1.1.  Please help.

    Can your friend message other people with iPhones without issue? If not, she needs to make sure iMessage is active on her phone.
    If she can message other iPhone users through iMessage, delete the message conversation & start a new one and see if that helps.

  • IMessage not working for two contacts

    Hi:
    In the past week, I have discovered that two of my contacts can't receive messages from me or send them to me. They have both upgraded to ios 8. I am still using 7.1.2. I can still use iMessage for all my other contacts and texting for those that don't have an iPhone. We have all tried restarting our phones. How do we fix this?
    Thank you!

  • Imessage is not working for one person

    My imessage is not working for one person.
    Its been like this for about 2 days
    I have an iphone 5
    imessage is on

    Does the other person have iMessage on, too? Is the specific phone number/address you are trying to reach them at show up for them in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive?

  • Classic - text ringtones work for one contact but not for others

    Just got the new Blackberry classic.  I'm having trouble with the ringtones for the text messages.  The custom ringtone works for one contact but not for the others.  I have taken the same custom ringtone that works for contact A and used it for contact B but it only works for A.  B sounds the default ringtone from the default profile instead of the custom ringtone.
    I have deleted all contacts and done a re-sync thinking something was corrupt.  That didn't work. 
    None of the contacts have a link. 
    I have changed the notification profile and it still doesn't work. 
    I have deleted a contact and recreated it manually.  It still doesn't work. 
    I finally deleted my dad's  contact and from the phone app created a new contact.  I set a custom ringtone for him and it worked.  I of course had to recreate all his other information manually.  Please tell me there is some other way to fix this than recreating manually all 147 contacts in my contact list.
    I read that if the phone number has the hypen or space it won't work, but my dad's contact info that I created from the phone app has the hypen and it rings with the custom ringtone.  Also contact A has no hypen in the phone number and it rings the custom ringtone.  So that didn't seem to matter. 
    I have spent hours on Google and see that lots of people have had this problem (but not everyone) but have not yet found a solution. 
    Surely someone has found a fix for this issue.

    Make sure that the contact has "Mobile" as the field for her number and not "iPhone".
    Note that the iPad cannot send SMS messages.

  • Incoming Email not working for one web app, but IS working for others in same farm.

    I have enabled incoming email in a large multi-web application farm running SharePoint 2013 SP1 and the Feb 2015/March 2015 CUs that were pushed down in Windows Updates.  It works just fine for two web applications, but it will not work for one particular
    web application. I see the email land in the /drop folder. If I remove the email address from the library in http://nonworkingapp web
    application and use it on a library in a http://working web application, then the email is processed successfully. Conversely,
    if I take an address from a library in http://working and move it to a library inhttp://nonworkingapp it
    does not work. I've tried multiple site collections on http://nonworkingapp. This rules out any SMTP issues, etc. and means
    the issue is bound to this web application. Permissions are the same between the "non-working" and "working" locations: domain users are members on the site, and the library inherits permissions from the site.  The App Pool and Timer
    Service accounts have rights to the folder and to the library.
    The error in the ULS log is the typical error processing message, but it gives no additional information even though I have enabled Verbose logging.
    The Incoming E-Mail service has completed a batch. The elapsed time was 00:00: 00.0156294. The service processed 2 message(s) in total. Errors occurred processing 2 message(s): Message ID: Message
    ID:
    Typically, you see "alias not found" or some permissions or quota issue here, but this issue is NOT the same as those. In this case NO additional information is provided in ULS.
    Edit: running stsadm.exe -o refreshdms -url http://one/failing/site fixed some similar issues where "Unknown alias" was
    reported even though the list did have an alias (see here:http://blogs.technet.com/b/vinitt/archive/2009/07/15/e-mail-enabled-list-alias-information-is-not-synchronized-between-configuration-database-and-content-database.aspx).
    This did not fix the issue for the case mentioned above.
    What could possibly be the issue preventing incoming email from working on this one web application?

    Thanks for your reply.  Incoming E-Mail was running on all 3 WFE, however I do not think this was the cause.  As noted, _other_ emails send to http://workingapp are working just fine.  I can send two emails - one to a library on http://workingapp
    and another on http://notworkingapp.  The email to http://notworkingapp will sit in the drop folder, while the one to http://workingapp will be processed correctly.  In addition, the ULS log on WFE1 indicates an attempt to process the file fails.
     So clearly, the timer job on WFE1 is running and attempting to process the file.  For kicks, I disabled the service on WFE2 and WFE3, but with no change in the behavior.
    WRT to #1, I have done this already (as noted in the original post).  I can remove an alias from http://workingapp and place it on http://nonworkingapp and it is not processed.  If I return it to http://workingapp it is processed.  In other
    words, I go into Library Settings -> Incoming Email for a working library, and copy the alias, then disable incoming email for that library.  I then go to Library Settings -> Incoming Email for a non-working library, enable incoming email, and paste
    the alias.  Once done, emails sent to the alias are not processed.  I then do the reverse, and it works again.
    On #2, I have already tried multiple libraries on http://nonworkingapp (also as noted in the original post).
    In my environment, incoming email does not work for any library on http://nonworkingapp, but does work for any library on http://workingapp.  Troubleshooting listed above has ruled out any problem with basic mail server configuration or library settings
    - the problem is bound to http://nonworkingapp
    I'm not sure what you mean by "steps to reproduce the issue".  If I knew that, I would probably be able to solve the issue.  The best I could come up with to describe the situation would be:
    Set up SP 2010 in a three-node configuration with multiple web apps
    Enable incoming email and confirm it works
    Migrate to a SP2013 SP1 farm in a three node configuration.
    Enable a new email alias for a library
    Observe that it doesn't work for one web application.
    Obviously, it's pretty unlikely that attempting that in a lab would actually have the same result.

  • Synaptics touchpad on HP Mini 110 Windows 7 32 Bit - not working for one user - working for another

    Hi,
    I recently have an issue with Synaptics touchpad on HP Mini 110 Windows 7 32 Bit - NOT working for one user - working for another.
    Windows 7 updates recently installed ???
    By checking the device properties on the user that works - "Synaptics PS/2 Port Touchpad 13/10/2011 Version 15.3.29.0"
    When the other user logs on, the touchpad works for a few seconds, then a displays a black square with a red diagonal line through it, then the touchpad won't respond. Trying to use the keypad to navigate to system diagnosics or anything to find further info is useless....

    Hey eagle_no11,
    Thank you for joining the HP Support Community!
    I will do my best in assisting to hopefully get the TouchPad to work on the second user profile.
    What I would like to start off with, is to restore the original Synaptics drivers onto the profile that is not working correctly. I have included the document Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 7).
    Once you have installed the original drivers, you will need to complete all updates from both HP, as well as Windows. For these updates, if you open the HP Support Assistant, and select Maintain, you should see an option for updating.
    Please let me know how these steps do work out for you.
    Have a great day!
