IMessage problem | turns off after phone power off

Each time I power off my phone or it runs out of battery iMessage switches to off setting and asks me to send the activation text message. This leads to extra cost each time I close my phone. The phone also asks me for my itines password each time it is turned on.

Hi
The powersaver software is not responsible at all for this behaviour.
The BIOS is good that you checked because this would be the first thing I would recommend.
Next step is however not so funny : service.
That's the only thing to do - the machine should absolutely be able to keep working when you unplug it if the battery has enough capacity.
Software-wise there is nothing you could do since it is not involved in theese pretty low level things.

Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get? Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

Apple is great!
Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get? Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).
I compose an iMessage with the destination as my email address and I attach 2 photos I want on my PC. I send them several times from my iPhone 5C but they never arrive. I look at my ipad later and realize that it's iMessage app is getting ( and swallowing) these emails. I then turn the ipad off. Still can't get the photos through because iphone is now getting them on it's iMessage. I turn off the iMessage feature and try to send photos from text msging. Phone tells me it can't send photos unless iMessage it turned on. What happened to regular MMS text messaging? I go and try to send photos as an email attachment and see that there is no option to attach from the stupid email program. I look up online to learn about the brave new world of apple attachments and send them.

The email program on my iphone is not configured to remove messages from the server.
If iMessage is turned off I don't have the issue.

Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

How to recover messages that were sent to me when iMessage was turned off?

iMessage on my phone somehow got switched off while I was traveling abroad. I didn't realize it about a week after I got back to the US (and realized I wasn't receiving texts from certain friends). How can I recover those texts that were sent to me while iMessage was turned off? They didn't show up when I turned it back on like I expected.

If they are queued up they will just be delivered when you turn iMessage on again
However they may have been sent back as unable to be delivered back to the sender
No way of knowing for sure

Problem turning off legacy filevault.

Hey everyone,
I began the process of switching over to the new filevault, but have encountered a problem turning off the legacy vault. Everything seemed to be goin well, at first. It took about 30 minutes for copying to complete during decryption. However, it has been hung up at "copying is complete..." for nearly 12 hours now and is showing no signs of moving on. I have received no errors. What can I do to maybe kick start the process again or should I just do a forced shutdown. Any help here would be greatly appreciated because at this point I honestly don't know if I have any other option than a forced shutdown.
Thanks

Ok, so I'm answering my own question here but it worked. I ended up doing a forced shutdown (holding down the power button until shut down initializes) from the screen indicating that "copying is complete..." When I restarted (manual restart using the power button again) the legacy vault was off and the new file vault was on and working properly. No data or settings were lost and everything was working properly.
Thank you to all of you who took the time to look at my initial question even if you didn't have an answer for it.

Do earlier iMessage sessions remain active if iMessage is turned off?

Hello,
I recently sent a message to a phone number that I entered manually. Later I realized that, for some reason that eludes me, the message was automatically sent as an iMessage instead of a text message. I'd rather all messages I send to phones in the future be sent as text messages, so I turned iMessage off in Settings. Nevertheless, do you think that the session I mentioned will remain active? Specifically, will I receive messages sent from this number in the future, despite the fact that the earlier conversation went through as iMessages, which option I have now turned off?
I appreciate any help or advice.

Someone awhile back had problems SSHing to a Mac sitting at the Login prompt... I thought it should work that way, but turned out they fixed the problem and could do it, so I surmise the answer would be yes.

You have to perform a software repair using PC companion.You might need to charge your device for about 1-2 hours before so the device has at least 60% battery.
Make sure the device is not connected to computer or laptop and turned off (sometimes you have to press power button and volume up until the device vibrates 3 times or on some devices you have to press the small button near the SIM tray or on the back of the device).
Open PC companion->support zone->phone/tablet software update->repair my phone/tablet blue highlighted.Follow the steps given,do not connect your phone until prompted to press volume down while plugging USB cable.
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us - J.R.R. Tolkien

IMessage accidentally turned off. Can I now retrieve ones that were sent to me?

I accidentally turned off iMessages for the past few weeks. Now that I turned it back on, is there any way I can retrieve the messages? My friends that sent me iMessages said their phones claimed the messaged were "delivered." Are they lost in space?

I think iMessage is like the Bump App. It could be akin to an immediate "peer to peer" type arrangement coordinated by Mother Apple.
Your device (iPod, iPad, iPhone) tells Mother Apple, via the internet (Wifi or 3G) that mobile No. or an eMail address is "online" and can receive messages.
People who want to message you from their devices are doing the same thing in "advertising" their presence and availability to Mother Apple with their "addresses" which could be phone numbers or eMail addresses.
When you want to send a message then it basically goes via Mother Apple who matches you up and makes the connection. If the other party drops off the internet during the messaging session for any reason, then, whilst your message is considered by Mother Apple to be "delivered" it is not actually received. I don't think Mother Apple have the facility to "hold" or store messages for later delivery, they are just the "exchange". Mother Apple could, however, snoop on conversations and this might be in the fine print of the terms and conditions.
If iMessage (ie an internet connection) is not available, then the SMS will most likely be sent as per the 3G network.
Re-registering your device is probably not a bad idea !

Problem: Turning off/Connecting to Computer

My ipod will not turn off!! The play/pause button will not get my ipod to turn off. In addition, it's forever stuck in charging mode, draining battery until it turns off. I tried to reset it by connecting it to the computer, but it wont connect (nothing happens on the ipod or the computer) nor will it charge with the computer. Fortunately, I tried to put it into a dock charger, and that worked in charging the ipod again, but the problems above still remain.
What is wrong with this thing? Last time I used it was not too long ago, I added some songs to my ipod and everything was fine and dandy! Is it a battery problem that's affecting the ipod? Should I get the battery replacement thing apple offers (my warranty has expired).

This doesn't seem to work for me. Thanks though
I made a miscomment.
The ipod turns off when I press the play/pause, but then it turns on automatically after 1 sec and says charging (if it's in the charger) or it says charged if it's not hooked up to anything.
I can't read the battery levels.

6300 problem - turning off - help!

Hi
This morning I woke up and my mobile was off.
I turned it on at the top and noticed the battery was full - strange.
When I try to go into my messages it says 'Message storage memory not available', after a few seconds the messages appear again.
Once the messages have appeared, on the main screen in the top left hand corner an envelope appears (like I have received a message) this then turns round to be a paperclip. Then a 'G' in a box appears to the left of this other symbol.
These symbols then disappear, then reappear 3 times before the phone turns off again.
Any ideas what could be wrong?
(Sorry to have gone on a bit, just want to make sure I provide all details in case it helps)
Thanks so much!

you can try updating your phone to the latest firmware using the NSU that normaly resolves the reset/shutdown issues.
as far as the message storange message is concerned that is because the handset is still loading and can take a few mins for the memory to fully load this happens on most of the newer nokias.
the symbol u are seeing with the paper clip rotating means that an multimedia message is trying to be recieved by your handset and the G in a box means the handset is using the GPRS connection to receive this.
my conclusion to this is the settings for the MMS may not be on the handset correctly causing it to shut down.. so i would contact your provider to recieve the latest settings... also a software update would be advisable to resolve the resetting

My iMessage was turned off and wont go back on

I went to Aruba from the US and I turned off my iMessage and what I was trying to do didn't work. I'm trying to turn it back on but when i click to turn it on under it is saying "Waiting for activation..." then under that is saying to "Use Your Apple ID for iMessage" and I'm trying to sign in with my information but when I plug it in it's saying "iMessage Activation - Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again". All my information is correct and even after that I was plugging in any password I could think of. Nothing is working.

Hi,
Try resetting your iPod: Press/hold the home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't work, connect your iPod to iTunes and you will have to restore it: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.
Hope this helps!

Problem Turning Off File Vault

My computer said it would take just under two hours to turn off File Vault. The process appeared to move along as it was supposed to. After the two hours, a message popped up that "copying is complete." My computer has been stuck on that screen for ten hours. Do I leave it? The "Cancel" button is grayed out. I don't want to lose my information. Your advice would be appreciated greatly. Thanks.

How much free space do you have?
If is possible that you don't have enough free space to turn off FV because it must make an unencrypted version before it can be turned off.
Do you have backups of your data?

Problem turning off video`s...sound continues to play

Hi, I am experiencing a problem when turning off a video and switching to listening to music - the sound continues to play over the music track or audiobook - is anyone else experiencing this problem? The only way I can get round it is by pressing the next/fast forward button....but then of course when I want to watch the remainder of the video it restarts from the beginning, not from where I left off! Any help would be appreciated.

Problem turning off Filevault

Hi,
I am trying to turn off Filevault, but when I try to do it, a dialogue box appears saying I have insufficient diskspace. The problem is, it says an additional 4080 GB are required! Unfortunately I don't have access to a drive of such capacity, and my internal drive is a mere 80 gigs. Does anyone know why this is happening?
Any advice is appreciated!
