IMessage to iPhone Issue
I recently had to get a replacement iPhone 6 due to a display issue in my original iPhone 6.
Apple had me restore my new iPhone 6 from an iTunes backup [since my iCloud was not an option, due to it not having been backed up before]. This iTunes back-up was from about 6 weeks ago. All contacts are transferred, etcetera, but all of my text conversations and missed calls from the past 6 weeks are gone.
My iMessages on my MacBook Pro are updated, and I can message from there with current conversations, but is there a way to transfer them from this iMessage format on my MacBook onto my iPhone so that I don't have the 6 week gap?
Thanks for any help!

We need to check some things here in order to get to the bottom of this. There is no reason an SMS sent from an iPhone shouldn't reach a Samung phone or vice versa. However the problem may well lie with the senders believeing they are sending you a text (SMS) but it's actually being sent as an iMessage and therefore arriving on your iPad instead of your Samsung device?
I presume that you have kept your phone number the same since changing from iPhone to Samsung? If not then please ensure that these people have your latest number and update their details for you on the iPhones.
On your iPad if you go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive does it still show your phone number here as a contact point? If so simply tap it to deselect it, then ask someone with an iPhone to send you a Text - if they go in to Messages on their device and select your phone number what do they see in the text entry field? Do they see iMessage or Text Message as what they see here will dictate what they send and how it comes through to you.

Steve

Why does my ipad2 no longer receive photos on iMessage? Iphone works perfectly with iMessage photos. Ipad2 used to work fine. Is it an ios8 issue? Help!
Hello,
Where may I be able to contact and speak with a prepaid representative? Strictly through phone calls? (I am at work 12 hours a day)
And I apologize for posting in the wrong area - I saw Apple support so I went here.
I'm almost certain my phone is the problem. I have gone through resetting the network settings a dozen times on my phone, even did it on my dad's. Now my texts are beginning to do the same when I text my fiance.
Resetting the network settings DOES work -- the problem is it will work for a day or two or for only a few hours - then I'll have to do it all over again. -
Ever since I enabled iMessage on my Mac Airbook, I can no longer receive text messages from the iMessage people on my iPhone, only on my iMessage now!! How do I get the messages to reach both iMessage and iPhone??
We are suffering very similar issues when communicating from my iphone to a friend who has both iphone and iPad enabled.
As long as I reply to an existing text chain, then it is visible on the target iphone. If I SMS the phone number, it gets routed to the IPAD!! And NO, I should not have to disable imessage when I want to send an SMS!! -

IMessage on iPhone 4 cannot send photos
Upgraded my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 to iOS 5. However, I have experienced issues with iMessage in the following manner:
1. iMessage on iPhone 4 cannot send photos. It can receive photos though. Okay for both sending & receiving texts.
2. Each time when trying to send a text message using iMessage, it cannot be sent out. I have to first send a text message using cellular SMS (press & hold the iMessage message and click on "send as text message"), and from that point onwards, I can then send text message using iMessage.
Things are okay for my iPad.
Can anyone help advise me any solution?
Thanks and regards,

I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy s5 and cannot receive iMessages from iphones, I have deleted my apple id, turned off imessage, turned off spam messages on my android device, wasted 35 minutes on the phone to Apple's 'Support' has anyone got any tips?
Hi,
Do you mean you are not getting SMS text messages now ?
If so start here
Follow the Account management options until you are offered and email contact.
Explain the issue via email as only someone in Support can now remove your iPhone Number from iMessages if it has not "de-registered" itself correctly.

Can I see contact icons/pictures in iMessage on iPhone 5 running iOS 7?
Can I see my contact icons/pictures in iMessage on iPhone 5 running iOS 7? I know this is a stupid little thing, but all my previous Android phones would show the contact icons/pictures not only in the conversation but also in the list of iMessage threads. This was exceptionally helpful for me, as I am slightly dyslexic. It saved me several times from sending messages to the wrong person. Since I coordinate my entire job through my phone, I really miss this feature. If anyone knows of anyway to get this feature back please let me know.
Thank you!!The only time you can see the contact picture is in a group message, unfortunately.

Anybody have slow imessage on iphone 4 with ios 7?
Anybody having a deathly slow experience with imessage on iphone 4 with new iOS 7 upgrade? The first 3 letters are typed just fine, and then there is a 5-7 second delay from the time to you type until when the characters appear on the screen.
According to Apple they have disabled Airplay with iPhone 4.
Indeed the "switch" icon is not showing when I am on wifi and playing music.... HOWEVER, found that if I then switch to the BBC Radio iPlayer app, the icon shows there. I simply hit it once and find my music then switches to my airport express box and plays through my hifi speakers instead.
Very odd. So this shows that the connection can still happen even after the ios7.0.2 update.
Are Apple playing games when they say it will only work on iphone4s and above? Clearly the iPhone 4 is still capable.
THE BBC app developers seem to have come to the rescue! Thank you.
For users outside uk, you may find you can access a similar app (if BBC iPlayer is locked to you). -

Why has iMessages from iPhone to iPhone changed from blue to green recently?
Why has iMessages from iPhone to iPhone changed from blue to green recently?
Hi Steve
So your WiFi is turned On for your phone... just wanted to check!
Do you know if it's only your home wifi or all wifi sources?
Try a simple reset of your iPhone
1. When the iPhone is on ... simulatneously hold down your off/on button (top of your iphone) and push the home button (the one at the bottom of yopur iPhone).
2. Hold this until the Apple icon appears (the screen will go black first).
3. Try sending a message to your wife (Just testing etc)

IPhone Issues - Phantom Emails
I am experiencing phantom email in my exchange account. This has been happening once per day. I have turned off email, and turned it back on. this solves the issue but the problem keeps recurring daily. Please help. I am almost ready to go to a Galaxy.
Contact the Exchange administrator.
Delete and re-add the account.
Switching devices is unlikely to resolve the issue as it's not really an iPhone issue.
