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 for an iPhone contact

    I'm having an issue where 3 iMessages went undelivered so i sent it as a regular text.  Now it is stuck on regular SMS text for this one contact.  All other iMessages work to other contacts.  I've tried rebooting, resetting my network on the phone and turning iMessage on and off but nothing works.  The other person has tried doing the same also.  Can anyone help with this?  It is a corporate phone and I have limited regular SMS texts but unlimited iMessages. My phone is an iPhone 4s, not sure what his is.
    TIA,
    Rick

    Hi BonusCup,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like you are sending SMS only to one contact only. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
    If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If you can't send messages to a certain recipient, delete any conversations you have with them and try sending a new message. When you delete a conversation, you won’t be able to recover it. 
    Cheers,

  • IMessage not working with one single contact

    My iPhone has stopped sending iMessages to one singular contact. Before today we have been using iMessage to communicate regularly. This is the only contact that iMessage does to not work with on my phone and on his he can iMessage me but I don't receive these messages. Also in group chats we can no longer communicate due to this issue.

    Did anyone fix this problem?
    This just happened to me yesterday!  I have iOS 7.1, had no issues until yesterday!
    I can iMessage my iMessage friends on my iPad with no problem, but the iPhone 5 randomlly decided yesterday that it would only iMessage selective people!
    I've tried everthing I can find so far.

    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 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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • IMessage not working with another iPhone

    Here's the scoop; I have an iPhone.
    My boyfriend used to have an iPhone. iMessage wasn't a problem at all.
    A few months ago, my boyfriend switched to android and obviously iMessage was no longer compatible. I had the same issue that everyone gets when their friend or even themselves switch over to an android from iPhone when it comes to iMessaging.. sometimes the messages won't send. I had that issue for a while until I finally figured it out. I messed around with my phone a little bit, I turned off iMessage, I changed in his contact the "iphone" setting to "mobile" for his phone number. I turned off my phone and turned it back on. I did it all. That problem was resolved, after my iPhone was constantly sending his android iMessages. Solved, done, cool- I was content.
    But now, my boyfriend switched back to his iPhone from an android. I figured our iMessaging would be no problem now, because lets be honest, us iPhone users all hate those green text bubbles. But everytime I text him now, I GET THE GREEN TEXT BUBBLES. Our iMessage isn't working. I looked up this question in multitude of ways: wording it differently, looking up different things, trying out some solutions people have come up with.
    I don't want to hear these answers, because I've tried them all. More than once.
    1. Resetting my Network Settings.
    2. Making sure my Apple I.D is checked on the Send & Recieve screen.
    3. In contacts, switching the "moble" to "iPhone" back on his contact.
    4. Restarting my phone.
    5. Turning on and off my iMessage.
    6. Even turning on and off my SMS, just to see if it would work.
    Nothing. All of it, nothing. I'm stumped. We haven't tried from his end to do more things like I did, yet. But he has done the following: #4 and #5.
    Help and an answer would be nice.
    Thanks!

    I'd like to add that my iMessaging is only not working for him. I can send iMessages to everyone else, except him.

  • What's This Help not working for one entry in each header file

    I have a large RoboHelp project that I have imported into Version 8 from a previous version. Prior to the import into Version 8, all of the What's This Help in the project was working perfectly; now, post-import, I have a problem.
    Firstly, some background information.
    My project contains a large number of individual header (.H) files, one for each dialog within the software. These header files, which have been generated and provided by our developers, contain one entry for each field on the dialog to which the header file relates. The header files are all contained within a \HTML Topics\Fields\ folder (going from the root of my Help project).
    Each header file has a corresponding text (.TXT) file. These text files contain entries that correspond to the entries in the relevant header file. The text files are also contained within the \HTML Topics\Fields\ folder.
    Below is an example of the contents of a header file:
    #define IDH_HIERARCHY_APPEARANCE_HIEARCHY_LIST          16811
    #define IDH_HIERARCHY_APPEARANCE_ADD_APPEARANCE         16812    
    #define IDH_HIERARCHY_APPEARANCE_REMOVE_APPEARANCE      16813
    Below is the contents of the corresponding text file:
    .topic IDH_HIERARCHY_APPEARANCE_ADD_APPEARANCE
    Click this button to add a new row of hierarchical appearance settings to the grid.
    .topic IDH_HIERARCHY_APPEARANCE_HIEARCHY_LIST
    Use this grid to define hierarchy appearance settings. Each row in the grid represents a level of the hierarchy. For example, the appearance settings you define for the first row apply to the top level of hierarchy, the settings you define for the second row apply to the second level, and so on.
    .topic IDH_HIERARCHY_APPEARANCE_REMOVE_APPEARANCE
    Click this button to delete the selected row of hierarchical appearance settings from the grid.
    The What's This Help that was part of the original project still works perfectly. However, after upgrading the project to RoboHelp Version 8, I have had to update the project to reflect changes to the software. As part of this work, I have imported some new header files and updated some existing ones - and edited the corresponding text files accordingly.
    The What's This Help that is covered by the header files that I have imported since the upgrade to RoboHelp Version 8 does not work correctly; in each case, the What's This Help does not work for whichever field appears at the top of the appropriate text file. The position of the entry in the corresponding header file does not make a difference.
    If I manually edit a text file to move a different entry to the top then recompile the Help project, the What's This Help does not work for the field that now appears at the top of the text file - and the What's This Help for the field that used to appear at the top of the text file now works.
    I've tried everything I can think of to fix this, but nothing has worked. It seems as if there is a problem in the way RoboHelp is compiling the header and text files.
    If I use Microsoft HTML Help Workshop to decompile the CHM file, then view the contents of the resulting, decompiled text files, the affected files appear as follows:
    .topic IDH_HIERARCHY_APPEARANCE_ADD_APPEARANCE
    Click this button to add a new row of hierarchical appearance settings to the grid.
    .topic 16811
    Use this grid to define hierarchy appearance settings. Each row in the grid represents a level of the hierarchy. For example, the appearance settings you define for the first row apply to the top level of hierarchy, the settings you define for the second row apply
    to the second level, and so on.
    .topic 16813
    Click this button to delete the selected row of hierarchical appearance settings from the grid.
    Note how the entry at the top - which relates to the What's This Help that doesn't work - appears differently to the other entries which do work. The name of the ID appears after ".topic" rather than the appropriate ID number.
    Any help that anyone can provide me with would be very much appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Mark

    Its working now. We just kept trying to reinstall the tools and restarting indesign. On the 4th time the buttons started working. I can't explain why it finally worked, just that it is working now.
