IMessage not working properly? Same with iTunes

I just came home today, and my iPad, (version 6.0.1) was working all day, except now. My iMessage is not signing in and my iTunes isn't connecting for some reason. I've reset my network settings and everything, but it just won't work. Any ideas?

Appears you are not connected to the wifi internet.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

IMessage not working properly, contacts being deleted?

Just today, my iMessages have become messed up. Instead of sending me an iMessage, O2 converted my friend's message into a text file, then emailed it to me (as she has an iPhone 4, I have an iPad 2). I have no idea why it did this - can anyone explain, and please Apple, will you fix iOS 5?!?
Secondly, my iMessage contacts keep being deleted. And let me make this clear - this is only the people I have contacted via iMessage, not people who I contact via email or are just in my contacts. I also have no idea why this has been happening, but it has been happening for about the past fortnight.
I have had multiple problems with iOS 5. Lagging home screens. Not recognising gestures properly (the added multitasking gestures). WiFi signal being dropped. Please Apple, sort this out! I love my iPad as a piece of hardware. Why can't you make some software that will do it justice?
Thanks, if you can help me, that would be great,
Tom

When are what people going to do something about it? It certainly doesn't rule it out, but it doesn't seem to be a system-wide issue. In any case, you can and should report it to Apple directly here: http://www.apple.com/ca/support/contact/
In the mean time, have you tried the following?
Do a reset of your device. Press and hold the Home and Power buttons at the same time. This takes 10-15 seconds. Release the buttons only when you see the Apple logo appear.

IMessage not working on ipad2 with wifi only

Hi-
I just purchased an iPad. The iMessage feature is not working at all. I have an iphone4 and I message works fine. Every time I try to send with the iMessage it says message failed. I was trying to send it to another apple user. I believe that you can't send to people who do not have apple Ids.
Please let me know no to fix it.

Ok... That makes sense. However I sent a message to a fiend it said message send figure on the iPad but I guess went though my phone cause she was able to answer it and the response went to the iPad.

USB seems to not work properly anymore with Mountain Lion

I just upgraded to Mountain Lion. Tried to transfer pictures from my DSLR camera but it cannot be detected anymore. My external hard disk does not work anymore as well. Can anybody please help? Thanks.

Open System Information (Applications > Utiities) and select the USB entry in the left column. The top right pane will show all the USB busses on your Mac. If the Mac can see the camera and external hard drive then they should be shown under one of the busses. So do you see them? If no, are they connecting directly to the Mac and not via some sort of USB hub?

My iMessage not working properly on iPad.

I just got a new iPad to go with the iPhones that me and my wife have. When I send a message using iMessage to her iPhone it show up as if she sent it to herself. When she replies it show up on my iPad/iPhone as if I sent it to myself, so all the correspondence show up on the right side in blue and the devices don't alert us that we received a message. Also when I message someone else using she gets that too like we are in a group chat (and we are not). Ideas?

nah, you can double check settings>store if the common appleid is still there, that's the one that is used for the download in itunes store. You can have a different appleid for iMessage, and even a third one for iCloud if you wish!

IMessage not working after updating with iOS 6.1.3

My son's iPhone will not 'activate' iMessage after he updated to iOS 6.1.3.
Tried resetting.
Tried switching iMessage on and off.
Tried Setting/WiFi/Tap blue dot/Renew Lease
Any other ideas?
Other features seem to be working as normal.
Thanks.

Nope still can't get it to work ChrisJ4203
Tried the Send & Receive button. The Apple Id is correct but there is no 'tick' next to the correct telephone number. Number is greyed out so can't click on it.
Any ideas?

Bluetooth not working properly Z10 with Subaru 2010 and 2012

From the start approx 6 weeks ago, Z10 would not automatically pair (discover) had to manually connected everytime. Sometimes had to turn Bluetooth off and on several times to connect. Once connected Music and phone worked fine thru car speakers.
Every Blackberry I had in the past worked perfectly.
Now in the last week it shows on the screen in the Subaru that it is paired/connected.
Phone rings through car speakers, but goes to the phone speaker when answered. Also music plays thru the phone speakers!!
Any ideas?

I occasionally have to manually switch mine to BT Audio on the Z10 when a call comes in. There should be a button on the phone screen for it. Kind of annoying.

IMessages not working properly since iOS 7.1?

Ever since updating my iPhone 5S to iOS 7.1, my iMessages have been playing up. I will send a message to someone and 5 minutes later it will tell me that it didn't send, but the person gets my message anyway. And I will not recieve messages until hours after they have been sent. Very annoying please tell me how to resolve this problem!! I have tried turning it off and back on again, no change.

ITunes not working properly with HP running Vista home premier

My Ipod touch works fine on my windows XP pro system but does not sync photos and podcasts from my other computer at home: new HP Multimedia system running Vista Home Premier. It goes through all the motions but will only add a few photos from a file and they are partially corrupt. Many times it won't add any selected photos. Same with podcasts, they won't sync to the ipod. Have tried various USB ports.

well, it is easy. i just wish it to sync in a manner that i do not get frustrated with it. it just does not like to sync when i open up itunes on desktop to update apps when they have updates. i have got to revert to plugging in the phone and ipad for it to sync and update apps. if you read through the whole thing you would have found it out. all i am saying is that itunes 10.6.1 and ios 5.1 have bugs and issues that make it hard for a iphone and ipad user to sync and update apps. itunes is slow to open with windows 7 as well as i did not mention that before but i have mentioned it in my other forum posts.
summary:
itunes 10.6.1, is slow to open on windows 7,
syncing ipad and iphone does not update without plugging them in.
wifi sync is not working properly or as it should, it doesn't recognize phone and ipad unless plugged in.

"Itunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video may not work properly".

Turned my Dell running windows 7 off 2 days ago. Turned on today. Launched ITunes and got message "Itunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video may not work properly".
All my albums are there but won't play.
Deleted Itunes and reinstalled. Same as before.
Any ideas ??

Hey MrCurwen,
I was able to find an article that included the same error message you're experiencing:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot run because it detects an issue with QuickTime
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1371
According to that article, if you see the error message "iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration," QuickTime may need to be reinstalled. Please follow the steps below to uninstall QuickTime and then download and install QuickTime using the QuickTime standalone Installer.
On the Start menu, click Control Panel.
Follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: Click Uninstall a program (or if using Windows Vista's Classic View of the Control Panel, click Programs and Features) and select QuickTime in the list of currently installed programs.
Click the Remove button (or Uninstall for Windows Vista and Windows 7) and follow the prompts to remove QuickTime from your computer.
Download QuickTime. Note: There are two options for downloading QuickTime, be sure to select the option that does not include iTunes.
During the download:
If you choose to run the installer, proceed to the next step.
If you choose to save the download, double click the QuickTimeInstaller file, then proceed to next step.
Follow the on-screen instructions to install QuickTime.
Reopen iTunes.
Cheers,
David

Why does iMessages does not work properly ? Please help me ! Its works better with the previous version if compared with the latest iOS

Why does iMessages does not work properly ? Please help me ! Its works better with the previous version if compared with the latest iOS

Many, many thanks for both of you Todd and Rick.
to Rick:
I suppose you mean the Color Settings in Project Settings as follows:
- Working Space: None
- Match Legacy ... Gamma Adjustments checked ON
But it does not correct the colors in effects. And checking or unchecking Make Movie/Output Module Settings/Color Management/Profile/Preserve RGB does not make any difference.
to both of you:
Those parts of the video image that does not have color effects are just fine. In these parts the color is preserved when reimporting to FCP. However, those parts having color effects (except Levels, as decribed earlier) have altered color results. So, only the parts having effects affecting color are misinterpreted in the image area. The mismatch is of course seen in AE, before making the movie.
What I ment with "Color Management not working properly" is that (instead of "disabling" it) Color Management does not seem to be able to correct this "misinterpretation" or difference in effect handling between AE 6 and 10.
So, would you have any solution for this problem?
Again, many thanks for your fast replies!

Remote not working properly with Apple TV...sporadic fuctioning

Hello,
I have no idea what caused this to happen, but both my remotes (I have one from my MacBook Pro and one from my AppleTV) seem to not work properly with AppleTV. It sometimes works but it is extremely frustrating as it only registers about 1 out of every 10-20 clicks then continues to remember the previous clicks therefore making it essentially impossible to select the desired menu/item. Basically it just seems like it's out of control!
I tested whether it was the remote or AppleTV that was causing the problem by running Front Row on my MacBook Pro and both remotes seem to navigate Front Row perfectly fine. They both act the same way with AppleTV, whether they are paired or not. It seems as though something happened with my AppleTV. This problem occurred randomly, with no specific cause I can think of.
Please let me know if any of you have ever experienced this problem and what your solution was, if any!
I have tried restoring to factory conditions, resetting settings, ran diagnostics, unplugged and replugged it, and nothing seems to be working!
Oh, and I just replaced the battery on one and have tried swapping batteries, etc.
HELP PLEASE!
Thank you,
Travis

The menus have never been as responsive as they used to since the 2.0 update in my opinion - basically AppleTV seems to cache/buffer remote click if it is busy or perhaps waiting for something to stream from itunes, and when resources become available it suddenly executes all command rapidly which makes it behave wildly in menus.
Usually happens I find after restarting the unit or if streaming drives have gone in to power saving modes and there's a delay while they wake up to feed the AppleTV.
