IMessage sent in blue, turns to green?

I've had a situation occur several times now. While chatting with another user who's using iOS5 messages sent via iMessage appear as blue and the SEND button is also blue.
However, recently I have had it happen where my SEND button, though it appears blue on my phone might be sending out messages that actually get sent as ordinary text (read, pay for this message!) messages and not the "free" iOS5 message type. Instead of the "delivered" subtext below the text bubble (normally in blue) I instead get a text bubble in green that contains the sent message and a subtext that says "Sent as Text Message".
Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening or how to prevent ANY green messages from going through? (On my plan I have to pay for each text message and don't pay a monthly fee for texting because I don't really use it.)
Does it have something to do with the other person's phone being turned off maybe?

Hi Robert
Annoying, isn't it?
On your lock screen (or wherever) choose 'settings', then 'messages'.
You will see a check box ''Send as SMS''. Change this status to 'off''.
Now your system will wait until it can send it over the imessage system.
Good luck

HT3529 imessages are sometimes blue and sometimes green w/ sms off

Sometimes I can send an imessage on wifi and the bubble is blue. Other times it wants to send it from a green bubble, however
I have sms turned off (I don't have a texting plan). I can't figure out why it works sometimes and most of the time it does not
work. I can be in the same location and send an imessage (blue bubble) and then ten minutes later, it wants to send it as an sms or green text.
It seems other people having trouble wth this after doing some research on the internet.
Does anyone know how to correct this so that when I am in wifi, I can send an imessage for free?
Thanks, manpainter

Sometimes, your message will turn green because you don't have enough signal strength. Check that you can only send iMessages as iMessages in Settings < Messages< Send as SMS OFF. After that, try the basic R's: Reset, Reboot, Restore.

When texting one contact bubbles are blue instead of green, and texts sent are not being received, how do i sort this? cheers

when texting a friend, bubbles are blue instead of green and they dont receive the message. this is only happening with one contact,why's this happening and what can i do to sort it? cheers

Blue bubbles are using for iMessages, so problem with receiving is in iMessage.

When I apply the Key for a green screen, everything blue turns purple. How can I correct?

When I apply the Key to an evenly lit greenscreen, anything blue turns purple. How can I correct this?

There's way too much blue in that green screen
This is green
Try pulling down the spill level and reducing the spill tint. You're probably going to have to tweak the color selection manually.

My iphone 5S will send texts as imessage but frequently switches to regular (green) messages even for people that I know use imessage - since we have exchanged (blue) messages previously. Is there something I can do to fix this or is it a unit problem?

Please help.

You can try to log out of iMessage and then sign back in. However, even under optimal conditions, iMessage will not always work. That's why the option of 'Send as SMS' is so important. There might be temporary outages in the related iMessage servers.

Should my text messages be blue instead of green after the iOS 5 update?

Should my text messages be blue instead of green after the iOS 5.0 update on my iPhone 4?

Blue messages are iMessages. Dont worry they work pretty much the same as txts
Instead of being sent via the sms service through your operator they're sent either as cellular data or wifi if you have it. The idea being that it functions in much the same way as BBM does on a Blackberry.
You can IIRC turn them off.
iOS 5 automatically determines if the intended recipient is using iOS5, and if they are, automatically sends the message as an iMessage rather than a txt. The colour change is designed to let you know whats what.

I tried to rent/buy a movie on my ipod touch 3g on itunes, but the rent/buy button just turns light green then goes back the the normal color without renting/buying the movie. Help me?! why is this happening and what can i do to fix it?

Have you tried connecting the iPod to your computer and restoring the iPod?

what is the name of your hostname? 'pun-idmqa-vm1'?
Try changing the hostname for another one with 8 characters...
good luck,

Messages on the Mac (10.8.4) no longer syncs with iMessages sent between iOS devices

I've been running Messages on the Mac since the Beta, and I've always had messages sync to the Mac and all iOS devices. In the last week, the Mac no longer posts imessages... only messages sent from the Mac trigger the Messages app to start tracking the message thread.
I've got my iphone number and three emails in both the Messages preferences (using my Apple ID) and on all of the iOS devices. So I should be receiving messages to four addresses (one phone number and three emails). I did get a new iPhone 5 on Wednesday, but the issue started prior to loading the new phone with my backup.

Hi, Ralph. Thanks so much for taking the time to address my discussion. While your solution did not correct the problem, it did bring clarity that it's the Mac–not the iPhone or other iOS devices–that is the entity having trouble.
While going through your solution steps on the iPhone, I decided that I should probably take the same actions on my iPad (Wi-Fi Only). When I turned to the iPad, I realized that both the iPad and the iPhone have remained in sync with all messages: only the Mac has not been posting some iMessages.
So I did perform your solutions steps, but they did not have an effect on the Mac Messages. I then removed my Apple ID from Messages on the Mac, quit Messages, and Shut Down the Mac. After a few minutes, I started the Mac, launched Messages on the Mac, and activated an iMessage account using my Apple ID. No improvement on the Mac side was realized.
I think I have the issue better isolated to... Messages on the Mac was not accepting iMessages sent to or received from my telephone number. I've always had my Messages preference set to Start Messages from my Phone number (and again on my iPad and iPhone Settings), so I'm not sure what changed.
Once I triggered a new message on the Mac starting from my Phone number and being delivered to my Phone number, the Mac seems to have regained its knowledge of iMessages–originated from an iOS device using a phone number and being sent to a phone number–that should also be synced to Messages on the Mac. I'll keep an eye on it this week before closing this discussion.

How do you get iMessages sent to your e-mail address only and not your phone number?

I want to send messages using my texts as well as iMessages to my girlfriend, she has a iPhone 3GS (I have iPhone 4) but i can't receive her texts when my internet is off, and only get her iMessages when I have turned my internet on. Is there something both of us have done or one of us?

Sorry about the confusion. What I actually meant was:
In Firefox you could use a method supported by the particular site like drag-and-drop from the desktop/folder into the webpage, use a button on the page to open/browse/upload an image/file etc.
But this error (send error) "1file can't be sent" seems to be related to the email site's service. The email site's support/forum could be helpful. You could also try to inform them about the error if they provide a contact channel.
You could also check the email site's help pages for information related to attachment size limits, and image type restrictions.

IMessage sent to verizon phone number not received

My friend has a Verizon iPhone 4S and an iPad.
She has her phone # and email address associated with iMessage on both the iPhone and the iPad.
As of today, iMessages sent to her phone number (for example, from my AT&T iPhone 5 and everyone else) never appear on her iPhone.
These iMessages, however, do appear in "Messages" on the iPad.
iMessages sent to the e-mail address do appear on both the iPhone and iPad!
This is really bad, as she is not getting any iMessages sent to the phone number on the iPhone ( that is any text message from anyone on the iMessage network).
Any ideas? This is so bizarre. I can imagine an iMessage getting lost, but why would it just not appear on one device...

SIgned out ALL devices of iMessage
Sent text message to the iPhone - it showed up as a regular green text message as expected
Signed devices back in , starting with the iPhone
Back at the same situation. iPhone not getting iMessages that are sent to the phone #.
I wonder if there is some problem in the IMessage world.

Hi After I have report a junk message to 7726, I coudl not get Imessge from other iphones. and could not send any message in blue color but green which need to pay for. Does Apple blocked my imessage ? I have checked the setting. imessage is on.
Thanks,

Make sure that your date and time settings and time zone are accurate (Settings - General - Date and Time). Reset your phone to 'Set Automatically' and then try signing in again - this worked for me. My date/time settings were not automatic (candy crush cheats!!).

Why are some text messages blue and some green

Why are some text messages blue and some green?

Blue text messages are iMessages (with other iOS and Mac users with iMessage enabled).
Green are regular SMS messages to non-iPhone users and iPhone users with iMessage not enabled.

Hi fredfromcan,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I would recommend signing out of your Apple ID for iMessage on your son's iPhone, instructions for which are found here:
iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4268
To sign out of your Apple ID
Go to Settings > FaceTime, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out.
You may also want to make sure his phone number is deactivated for your Apple ID:
iOS: Deactivating iMessage
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5185
To deregister your phone number, tap Settings > Messages and turn iMessage off.
Cheers,
- Ari

I thought that I had backed up my pictures to icloud, but when I looked online at icloud, I don't see pictures listed. However, a few of the recent pictures have shown up on my phone.
IHow could I get these from my MacBook to my phone?
Thanks again.
When you log into you icloud account on your computer you are viewing data that you sync to icloud not the backups. You can't view the backups.
Look at the two links I provided.
You still didn't answer any of my two questions I asked.

IMessage sent in blue, turns to green?
