IMessage problem

my iMessage on my phone just randomly stopped working the other day and when i go to message settings it doesn't let me sign in. it says that you need network connection and i already have network connection that works very well. i cant do imessage on my computer because it is a school computer and my school blocked imessage on it. i want to know if their is another way i can get onto imessage online or how i can fix it. HELP!

If you're connected to the school's wireless network, then it stands to reason that they have blocked iMessage on the enitre network, not just their computers. Disconnect from the schools WiFi network and use the cellular data network.

I am concerned that Apple thinks the imessage problem is only affecting a few users. That is not true. It is affecting me as well. Please fix it as soon as possible. Thank You

The imessage problem with IOS7 is affecting me. I just wanted to chime in because Apple said it is only affecting a few users. Don't believe it.

We've added you to the list of affected users & as soon as a fix is availble, we'll notify you .

IMessage problem - Cannot get it to work

iMessage problem - I cannot get iMessage to sync. I have a iPhone 4 and iPad 2 both on iOS 5. everything else works fine. I cannot get the iMessage to sync. Both have the same @me id. if I try to add another email I get "iMessage Activation Unable to veryify email because it is already in use." Going crazy for 2 days any ideas?

I'm guessing, but the email address is used as a unique address, (it's easier with an iPhone as it has a phone number). This error could be saying that another iTunes userid has linked with that email address. That is only possible if they verified it.
Do you have two AppleIDs / iTunes IDs in the house, but a family (shared) email address?
Simple solution then would be to create a new gmail email address and use that.

I am having the iMessage problem following the latest update but am unable to fix it following suggestions on here so far. Anybody have a different suggestion? My phone & iPad are fine but my husbands phone is the one with the issue. I tried backing it up to my computer but for some reason it won't do that either.

Former iPhone User & Possible iMessage Problems - Textmessage Issue

I have been an iPhone user since the 2G, so about 10 years. In fact, everyone in my family uses iPhones. Even when I decided to change, my
family members remained devoted iPhone users. I loved my iPhone, but in time I realized Apple fostered this cool-kid-lunch-table culture, and I didn’t want to help promote that belief/behavior. The last straw for me was having to play Apple’s upgrade game where little to no innovation would occur.
I had been waiting for a new iPhone since my brand new iPhone 5 got stolen. This should be noted, I did not receive any support from Apple in
the aftermath of that incident. I repeatedly went to the Genius Bar near my apartment, but it was useless. I was told your “Lost” mode or whatever was impervious. (By the way, I spent the next couple of months telling at&t to stop sending me bills for calls being made to Russia on that iPhone.) I ended up using the 4S for almost two more years. Given Planned Obsolescence (to be fair, all the smart devices do that (in theory all consumer goods)), those two years were grim. (i.e. phone interviews for a job were next to impossible)
Thus, when I was eligible for an update, I got the Nokia Lumia 1020. Apple’s smart, it ended up hiring Ari Partinen, the guy who designed and help implement a huge selling point of the device, the 41 megapixel camera. Much like the 2G, theNokia Lumia 1020 has problems. Companies cannot (or in some instances, will not) innovate and (truly) improve their products without demand andcompetition. (i.e. The fourth (or the fifth) generation of Apple tablets started coming out with Pages after the very first Windows’ tablet came with MSOffice during the first year's use). Thus, I had to forgo the Nokia Lumia 1020 on the whole because the demand to improve the product is not there like it was for the 2G.
Given the circumstances, at&t suggested I get a different smartphone, I asked to go back to the iPhone, but I was told I could not due to
some sort of prevision in Apple’s contract. Something along the lines of – "You should have chosen the iPhone during your upgrade." I was randomly sent an Android device, and told this is the best thing I’m getting. Take it or leave it.
To add, one of my problems will mostly likely rollover to the Android phone . For some unknown reason, I stopped receiving group texts (from iphone users), which is mostly likely an imessage problem. It is probably an imessage problem because I experienced it when I first switchedto a non-apple device (three months ago, with the Lumia 1020).
As such, I signed into my apple account on their support site, to unregister my devices (again). I (thought) deleted everything three months ago, but it looks like thestolen iPhone 5 is on there.
Is Apple literally FORCING me back to them (while simultaneously, barring me from accessing
their product)?
At this point, I am too exhausted (and have to get back to my responsibilities), please figure something out with messages being sent via wifi (aka: imessage).
PS. Forgive the editing errors, formatting problems wouldn't allow me to resolve them. ....Apple, go listen to some Echosmith. The cool kid culture needs to be improved. You are capable of making the needed improvements.

URGENT! text/SMS/iMessage problem

I am in UK and I am using my iPhone 4S IOS 5.1 to text my girlfriend who is visiting Finland
She has a 3Gs with IOS 5.1.
Problem is she is receiving those messages sent as texts (green) but NOT those messages sent as iMessages (blue)
They seem to change format randomly. I don't get to choose the format.
Is there a way I can make sure every message is sent as a text? (not an iMessage)
thanks

IMessage problems HELP!

i have currently been using my iPod touch 4th generation to talk to friends on group chats. Lately my messages that have been sent to me are coming through days after they were originally sent. My iPod is currently updated to 6.1.6 and there are currently no more updates available. I have looked at the IOS: Troubleshooting Messages and also other people's problems with recieving iMessages days later but can't find the answer. From reading other people's questions I have also found that others are having the Sam ether of problems with the IOS 6 update. Please comment below with anything that might work below.

It would seem that either Apple servers have a problem or your network provider. Nothing you can really do.

IMessage problem. Help

I have an issue with the iMessage application on my MacBook Air. Since few weeks ago I have been able to receive few messages but I'am unable to respond or send messages. Everytime I try an exclamation mark appears I've tried to initialize the operating system again but still does not work. My Apple ID works fine from other devices though. How can I fix this problem?

Step 1
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.apsd.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and empty the Trash.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 2
Reset the NVRAM.
Step 3
Reinstall OS X.
Step 4
If none of the above steps resolves the issue, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or contact Apple Support.

Iphoto, the App Store, iMessage problems on OSX 10.8.5

I have a couple of problems.
Firstly, my imessage does not work. When I send messages it does not deliver them, and puts this little red exclamation point next to the message. When Imessge is not active i recieve old texts from weeks ago in the top right hand cornor of my computer. When i click on it and want to send an imessage it does not let me.
Second, iphoto. Is there any way to speed up iphoto? It runs espically so compared to other programs. I realize that I do have around 10,000 picutures, but shouldnt it be able to handle it?
Lastly, the App Store. This gives me the most difficulties. I have updates and it will not let me download them. I have to accept purchases but just like the downloads, when i click on the accept button it will not actually do it. It just clicks it. One of the biggest problems is that it will not let me even sign in the my account. I have tried different tactics but everytime i click on a sign in option, it does the same thing as when i click download or accept. How do i fix this? Do I uninstall the app store? but then i dont know how to get it back.
Note: Imove, iphoto, and bascally everything else came with the mac when i bought it. I did not buy these separate from the app store and such.
This is getting very frustrating. Thank you for your help if there is any!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

2 iphones on one itunes account imessage problems

My husband and I each have a 4s both linked to the same itunes account - both were working fine using facetime and imessage, but my husband had to get ihs replaced at the apple store today all fine EXCEPT thefacetime/imessaging as all messages are now coming through to BOTH phones rather to different phones?? any ideas?? both have same login details but they did before he had his swopped (we have sperate icloud accounts though)

If you share one Apple ID for the App Store and iTunes, but use separate Apple IDs for iCloud, you should use those separate Apple IDs likewise for iMessage, and your problems should go away.

MacBook Pro iMessage problems!

I have just got a MacBook Pro, and I set up iMessage as it was a part of the set up process. I have sent a few messages to friends from my computer, but I don't like iMessage as I've had problems with it in the past, so I disabled it. Now that I've done this, messages that my friends were sending to me via iMessage are not being delivered to my iPhone. Previous to using iMessage on my Mac, messages were being sent to these friends normally via text.
How can I fix up my messages so that my phone will receive them again? As I'm missing out on messages that are sitting somewhere in apple space!

Facetime and iMessage Problems on my iPad

Dear All,
I am turning to this community because i have a problem with my iPad and I ran out of ideas how to solve it.
Few days ago, I realized that the FaceTime on my iPad is not working. Every time I try to call someone it says Connection Lost although I have WiFi at this time. I also noticed I am unable to receive FaceTime calls.
Last night I noticed that iMessage is also not working on my iPad.
I have tries the following
1. Restart the Face Time and iMessage
2. Restart iPad
3. Restore iPad from iTumes
4. Restore iPad from ITunes as new phone
5. Create new Apple account and use it with my FaceTime and iMessage
6. Updated iOS (now i use iOs 6.1.3)
The problem persists even after I have done all of the above.
When I restore the iPad as new one from iTumes I am even unable to log into FaceTime and iMessage with my Apple ID. It says
"Unable to sign in. Please check your network connection and try again later"
However, I don't have any network connection problems because all other apps such as Safari and Google are working.
It seems to me that somehow the iMessage and FaceTime do not connect to my WiFi.
My question is:
What else can I try to fix the situation?
Could it be a hardware problem?
Any suggestion how to proceed are very welcome.
Thank you!

Adobe has changed the format for the Adobe Chat contact, but it should be working "under the hood" the same...let us see what they have done with the tried and true route...
You should be seeing the following first in your path to Adobe Chat
When you click on the area where it says
Chat
24 hours a day, 7 days a week
you should then see the following
Fill in the required information. Then...
At this point, you should be able to click on "Start Chat" and begin the communicate with Adobe Chat on
the top of "Serial numbers and redemption codes"
Is that not happening? As you see, I got that far with the path, but stopped short of hitting "Start Chat".
Please let us know the outcome.
Thanks.

Interesting iMessage Problem between Macbook Pro/iPad 1

I was recently forced into getting a Macbook Pro (I would have preferred an iMac if I had to buy a Mac at all) and everything has gone as well as can be expected (background: I build PCs and am a Linux user. I am proficient in Mac/Windows/Linux with my preference being Linux > Windows > Mac) except one thing:
The person I talk to the most with iMessage has an iPad 1 and about 90% of their messages appear NOT DELIVERED (red !) immediately when they try to send them. I can send them messages, and they receive them. I've had one single message fail in the way their messages fail to deliver, but had no other problem with messaging anyone else or receiving other messages.
Any ideas?

IMessage problem sending images on Wi-Fi

Hi,
A couple of weeks ago, after many years working without a glitch, I started experiencing sporadic erros when sending images on iMessage when connected to my home wifi. The problem seems to occurr with our iPhones but not with our iPads, however because the sporadic nature of the problem we just might have not experienced it yet. Nevertheless it happens so often with our iPhones and we've never seen it happen on one f our iPads.
The charaterization of the problem is I try to send an image on iMessage, the progress bar hangs very near the end for an unusually long time, and eventually I get a red exclaim sign with the word Failure next to it. If I switch to 3G (which ***** because it consumes my dataplan), it works fine. I have a DSL ISP and 2 Airport Extremes networked thru a gigabit cable and configured as a Closed (non broadcasting SSID) Roaming Network.
Corrective actions taken so far. I reset one of the iPhones back to factory settings. I've turned off the DSL Modem and both Airports, waited 30 seconds, and then turn everything back on.
Any ideas?
Thank You,
Erasmo.

I have exactly the same problem, I have been search for solution for many month already, so far Apple haven't give any solution to this problem. Still need wait for answer.
