IMessage not working on multiple devices anymore

I have multiple devices - iPhone 4S, iPod 3G, iPad. All are running iOS5. All are set up for iMessage. In the past, any message sent or received on one device was replicated across the others. I could send an iMessage on my iPhone, then read the reply on the iPad and so on. Now it is device specific, can't do that anymore. Is this a change from Apple or do I need to fix something? Please advise, thanks.

HI,
The About the Mac item looks like this.
This happens to be OS X 10.6.8
Click that and you get the Build Number
Click the Build Number and you ge the Serial Number
As FaceTime and now other iMessage connections work I doubt if your issue is the Serial Number being missing.
If one person is Off line it could be that their iPhone is Off (not on  any network and powered down).
Scenarios include the battery running out or not being on Wifi or 3G networks.

  • IMessage not syncing across multiple devices

    Hi All,
    I have recently got on iPhone 4S as well as my exisiting iPad 1. My wife also has an iPad 2. All these devices have been updated sucesssfully to iOS 5.
    We have one central iTunes account (mine) that gets used to purchase apps and music from iTunes - nothing out of the ordinary there.
    We also have two iCloud accounts for use with our own devices (mine on the iPad1 and iPhone - my wife has one for her iPad2).
    On the face of it - we can message back and forth ok apart from one small problem. Any conversation I start on the iPad will get duplicated to the iPhone but wont show any replies - these all go to the iPhone. So I'm basically looking at a one sided conversation from the iPad point of view.
    Any conversation started on the iPhone just doesnt show up on the iPad at all.
    I've found several posts (all based on the same theme) that suggests that I change the caller ID to the apple (iCloud) account on the phone and also 'reconfirm' the settings on the iPad.
    This I have done several times but with no joy. I get the feeling that the sync between multiple devices isnt quite there yet.
    Has anyone else come up against this in here - and if so - how did you fix it.
    Thanks
    Wayne.

    The feature really doesn't work very well yet. Most likely a future update will fix it or at least make it more obvious why it doesn't behave consistently.
    For what it's worth, after following the caller ID instructions that you have tried, it took about a day for syncing to start working but some conversations and messages still never show up on my iPad.
    Not much we can do but wait for iOS 5.1 I'm afraid. No doubt apple are aware of the issue at this point.

  • Imessage not working on one device on ios 6

    i have a iphone 5 and a ipad 2 on ios 6, before ios 6 imessages came through to both devices (before iphone 5 i had 4) but now my imessages are only coming through to my iphone, ive checked im signed in on imessage on my ipad and i am i have rebooted multiple times but when i try to send a message from ipad it says unable to send! any help??

    try signing out of messages/icloud on your ipad and signing back in. that sorted it for me.

  • Game center account not working on multiple devices.

    My game center account works fine on my iPad 2, but when I log in on my 3GS (after logging out on my iPad 2) my iPhone can't receive invites and invites that I send do not work when the other player accepts them, it just says "waiting" . All of my push notifications are turned on and I can play with random people online, but I can't play with friends or even receive invites from them. But if I log out of my iPhone and log in on my iPad the account works just fine.

    Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.

    Hey Mgpr,
    There's an article that helps with troubleshooting steps for issues activating iMessage that I think is worth a look. See if any of the suggested steps work for you:

  • Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number

    Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number? It keeps going to imessage and then back to text message

    Both you and the recipient have to have active data connections, and both devices have to have iOS 5 or higher to be able to use iMessage. Also, they both have to have iMessage activated. If that is already the case, there is a possiblility that iMessage is down. It has gone up and down several times in the past week. Check this page for status, and if necessary you can report a problem with a link in the lower right corner. http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/

  • IMessage not working with some contacts

    I have ipad2, iMessage not working with contacts except between my son and my iPad.  Get a red exclamation mark and send button is greyed out.  Have rebooted, reactivated apple id and email address.  Running latest software. Can anyone help please.

    Imessage only works to other folks who have a device on ios5, and who have activated i message.  In their set up, theyndeclared one or more specific 'receive at' addresses.  Are the folks you are trying to reach on apple devices with i mesage?  The red exclamation means, i think, that the apple server did not find that address as registered.

  • Imessage not working on my iphone4s

    I have an event in my calendar that was sent by someone that does not work for the company anymore and I am reminded 2 times a week. How do I delete it?

    Tap on the event to open the event. Click the 'Edit' button in the event bubble, then press the 'Delete Event' button at the bottom of the Edit pop-up. It's a little different for events that come through Microsoft Exchange, you tap the event to bring up bubble and click the 'Details' button, and then press 'Decline' to remove the event.

    Hello margmcarlson,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    Troubleshooting iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch accessories
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2634
    Restore iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to its factory default state. You should rarely need to use this step with an accessory issue.
    Best of luck,

  • SetTimeout() not working on mobile devices

    setTimeout() does not work on mobile devices ie. Safari on iOS 7.1.2 and Android 2.2.  What is the alternative that works on mobile devices?  Thank you.

    Hi Carlos,
    MS mobile browsers are crippled. They don't support many features known from IE. I would suggest to check MSDN for Windows Mobile documentation:
