IMessage not working since iOS 8

Since installing iOS 8 iMessage won't send many messages. Changing to SMS does not help. By experimenting, I think the messages that won't send are any with my wife's name included in the addressees. She also can not send messages that have my name in the addressees.
We share the same Apple account for app purchases, etc. but are logged into iMessage with separate Apple IDs. I am logged in with the common Apple ID and she is logged in with the ID linked to her iCloud account. I have an iPhone 5. She has an iPhone 4S. Both operating with iOS 8.
I have tried the suggestion of turning off iMessage in favor of SMS and then resetting the network settings, then turning iMessage back on. This does not resolve the issue.
We never had this problem until the iOS 8 update. I can not find solutions to this online... what to do???

Hello, RicardoSwe.  
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
I see you have tried some troubleshooting steps already.  There are a couple more steps that I would recommend trying in the article below.

  • IMessage not working after iOS 5.1 upgrade! Feedback pls

    iMessage not working after iOS 5.1 upgrade, anybody experiencing this as well? Feedback please......

    You shouldn't have to hard restart and it shouldn't have anything to do with your router.  If anyone else runs into this problem try resetting the network settings on your phone.  All the steps to do this can be found here http://tekshot5.com/ios-5-1-imessage-fix/
    Edit: Some of us don't have the option of resetting our DNS servers.  I run my own for example for caching purposes.

  • IChat not working since iOS 5 update

    My iChat is not working since the iOS 5 update.  Everytime I go to log in it says: "iChat can not communicate with the AIM account..."  Is anyone else having a problem since the new update was released?

    Hi Chris,
    Does it read login.oscar.aol.com in the server Setting tab  ?
    (iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts > Server Settings)
    Hi bryanfromcottonwood,
    In Previous versions iChat was set up to automatically change the Server Name fro AIM logins when starting or turning Off SSL.  (it tended to look like the leading "s" appeared or disappeared).
    IT Changed from login.oscar.aol.com to slogin.oscar.aol.com
    There are suggestions that this does not happen now.
    It is not known if this is done deliberately for "Security" or an error in the Update file.

  • IMessage not working since upgrading to ios 5.1 iPhone or iPad??!!

    Both myself and my partner have iPhones. I'm on a 4S she has my old 3GS. Since we both updated to 5.1 iMessage doesn't work, anyone I know who hasn't upgraded past 5.0, iMessage still works. Any ideas. Auto time update is on, on both handsets, it's strange as it was working for a few days after the update then it suddenly stopped one afternoon and hasn't worked since.

    Try turning iMessage off, wait a few minutes, then turn it back on.

  • My I message is not working, since IOS 8.3 update.

    My messages is not working properly, since IOS 8.3 update. Message are left hanging as undelivered. When I tap on "try again" nothing happens. Even messages to known contacts with I phones, appear in green and does not get delivered anyway. I have reset my i phone several times to no avail. I like my I phone 6+ as a camera. All other functions are less than impressive.

  • IMessage not working on iOS 7 with iPhone 4s

    Since I've upgraded to iOS 7, iMessage never worked again on my iPhone 4S... I tried to fix it deactivating iMessage and then by resetting network settings, but it didn't work.

    Type those characters on the phone keyboard, then press the green "Dial" button on the bottom of the keyboard.

  • IMessage not working since 10.10.3 update

    - Beginning two days 04/14 (after I updated to OS X 10.10.3 and iOS 8.3, iMessage stopped syncing with other OS X and iOS devices on the same iCloud account. All on the same network.
    - Continuity and Handoff also do not work on the MBP...(worked great a couple days ago)
    - MBP is on WiFi.
    - I have cycled power, turned on and off wifi, logged out of iCloud, logged out of iMessage (on all devices). 
    - I did get notice on the other devices when I turned iCloud back on and wanted my keychain restored.
    - MPB is also updated to 10.10.3 and no issues. All features work.
    - iPhone and iPad are at iOS 8.3 (12F69)
    Also, when attempting to send to known iMessage account holders I was not getting the blue, rather the red highlight on the names and the "not registered with iMessage" notice.
    I am constantly being asked to login to iCloud

    On the iPhone in Settings > Messages > Send and Receive
    my iPhone Number is ticked/checked and greyed out. None of my other iMessage emails are listed, though. So when I tap "Use your Apple ID for iMessage" on this same screen, input my password, it acts like it's signing in, then stops whirling and it goes back to the same screen, as if it's waiting for me to sign in again. My password has been reset multiple times and it works when signing into my iCloud account at iCloud.com. So it's not the password. Also, in my iCloud account it confirms that all of my devices are
    The same process occurs when trying to sign in to iMessage on my iPad. No go -- just returns the screen that prompts me to sign in.
    When trying to sign in to iMessage on my MacBook Pro, I get the error message: "Could not sign in to iMessage. An error occurred during activation. Try again."
    This is the same error message now for the past five days. Apple iMessage is NOT working!!
    Also: in my iCloud account (settings screen), it confirms that all of my devices are properly signed in to iCloud.
    Anybody out there getting this error message? ***!!

  • Texas Holdem - not working since iOS 8?

    Hi,
    For years I have been a fan of Apple's Texas Hold'em (think it's version 1.1).
    The game starts but none of the settings and scores are remembered.
    It worked perfectly until I got an iPhone 6 running iOS 8. (iPhone 4/iOS 7.x)
    Every time you start the app it's like you've never played it before.
    - Has anyone seen this behaviour?
    - Any workaround?
    Many thanks!
    DJ

    I wish I would've known this before I upgraded the OS.  I, like everyone here loved to crank up my winnings playing the computer when I had a little downtime.  Fun little game that was simple and easy to play.  I had 90M and was working towards cracking 100.
    Restoring the app wouldn't work since it doesn't respect the settings any longer.
    This was Apple's only game.  It's too bad they couldn't ensure compatibility going forward.

  • Call list not working since iOS 8!

    Hello! My call list isn't working since I've updated to iOS 8. I can't see who called me and there's a small -1 on the Icon of the list... Can anyone help me??

    I ALSO HAVE THIS PROBLEM

  • Imessage not working in iOS 7

    iMessage has stopped working on my iphone since upgrading to ios7. I did the network reset as recommended elsewhere, and it worked again for a few days - now whenever I text I get a message that my text was not sent. No explanation of why or what to do. Ideas?

    iMessage seems to have developed a bug with ios7 over the past week. I've tried the reset network settings thing but it didn't help.
    Green = SMS message
    Blue = iMessage
    What did help me was logging into iCloud and resetting my account. Then go into Settings and messages, activate iMessaging and when prompted enter you new iCloud password. Random I know but it worked for me.

  • IMessage Not Working Since Mountain Lion Upgrade

    Since I "upgraded" my iMac and MacBook Air to Mountain Lion, iMessage delivery is hit and miss to the say the least from my iPhone 4S.  I first realised there was an issue receiving text messages whilst in the States and not connected to WiFi. Messages weren't even being received as text messages, even but would all come through as a flood from my girlfriend when I connected to WiFi.
    At the weekend she dropped her iPhone 4 and the screen is duff so she's swapped her SIM into a spare BlackBerry until it's repaired.  Gues what? She can text me but my 4S is still trying to reply by iMessage and none of them are being resent/sent as text messages.
    It's useless having a mobile phone that will effectively only communicate by voice and e-mail and no basic texting. It wouldn't be so bad if it actualy said the messages were failing.

    Were you running os x 10.6 before the upgrade?
    Anyway photoshop cs2 won't work on mountain lion because cs2 is a PowerPC application
    and mountain lion can only run intel applications natively like photoshop cs3-cc.
    If you were using 10.6, then you were using rossetta, an application that allowed some powerpc programs to run on an intel mac and mountain lion doesn't have rossetta.
    The current versions of photoshop available from adobe are photoshop cs6 and photoshop cc, but since cs2 is out
    of the upgrade loop now, so you need to either buy the full version of photoshop cs6 or subscribe to photoshop cc.

  • No push notifications, iMessage not working after iOS 7 upgrade

    I'm not receiving push notifications for Apps such as Facebook after iOS 7 upgrade and iMessage & Facetime won't work. I repeatedly get a pop-up message to connect to iTunes for push notifications but connecting to iTunes does nothing. I have searched endlessly for a resolution but can only find answers directed at iPhone users. I am so regretting upgrading, I was very happy with how everything worked before. I should also say that I have nil experience on matters "Apple" and technical jargon is lost on me :(

    There are hundreds or people wih this exact same problem and apple has no interest in fixing it or publicly giving and answer to the issues. 
    They Botched this release big time.  I look forward to having tp wipe my 64gb iPad and start from scratch.  Oh boy do I!!

  • Flash / flashlight not working since ios 7 update

    I have an iPhone 5. Since I've updated to ios7 I have not been able to get the LED light to work. I've tried photo and video, and I've tried the dedicated 'flashlight' button... nothing.
    Everything looks right on the screen, just no action in the light. I've tried hooking to itunes and syncing, powering down and restarting things and I even got the newest update fix (7.0.2 or whatever)... no dice.
    I took some photos with a flash a few days before I updated, so I'm fairly sure that my hardware isn't damaged.
    Any ideas?

    I had the same problem it's definitely a software issue because the camera would sometimes work in camera apps but now I could not switch cameras at all.
    I may have found a solution of course I probably won't get credit for thanks to Apple.
    I believe the problem arises from a bug when the camera is used in lock mode, try restarting your phone with the home and power button. Then open your camera in locked mode and set the flash to auto. Maybe take a few pictures, switch the camera back and fourth, turn HDR on and off, but make sure the flash is set to auto before you unlock the phone. Heck even try playing with the flashlight.
    After I did this in locked mode to my surprise my camera and flashlight are now fully functional after I have unlocked it with the password. I'm not to sure what triggered this bug but when I first got iOS 7 and played with my phone some how I unlocked the lock screen without putting in a password. Just by using the camera and the notification and control Center, I unlocked the phone which might of triggered the bug.

  • Imessage not working since upgrade to ios6 on ipad 2

    Is anyone having this problem? I've updated my iPad to iOS6 since last Friday and I keep getting the "Apple ID username and or password" is incorrect. This obviously isn't the case since I logged in here to this forum with the same username and password.
    I've rebooted the iPad, logged in and out of iMessage and still have the same problem. It's been an entire week now and I haven't seen a bug fix or a workable solution.
    HELP!

    What iOS are you running on your iPad?  If your iOS is lower than 5, you won't have the software update option, which means you'll have to update the OS via iTunes on your computer.  To check the OS:
    Settings > General > About
    You'll see what iOS version you have.
    NOTE:  Once you do update, you'll be able to update via the Cloud in the future.
