Imessage won't work with one person?

I have an iPhone 4S and was texting a friend who also has one. Well she sent me a message back but it was sent as a text and I tried to text her back but mine went through as a imessage but wouldn't deliver. So I tried to resend it as a text but it failed to send. I thought it was my phone so I text others with an iPhone and it went through perfectly.? It is my phone or her phone that is messing up.? I kept getting text messages from her all that day but I never could reply back to her.

IMessage and calling won't work with one person?!

My iMessage works with everyone except one person. I can text them or call them, but I can't get anything from them. How can I fix this?!

The issue is likely on their end if it works with everyone else. Double check the information for them in their contact to make sure its correct or try deleting and re-adding it just to be sure but its likely that their imessage either isn't activated or they don't have data service where they are at.

IMessage won't work with one individual

I use iMessage all the time, but have one friend who can't receive my texts in iMessage; they all arrive as emails. I can't receive any of his texts at all (I do get his emails, of course).
The solution seemed obvious when I discovered that his iPhone settings were set up to receive messages to his phone number only, not his email address. We corrected this, but it didn't solve the problem.
MMS is turned on for both of us. My iPhone is set up to use iMessage only, not SMS. His phone is now set to receive both kinds. Other than that, our settings for iMessage are identical.
Any ideas about what's going on here?

Recently I was able to send Imessages (I have an iPhone 4S) to my boyfriend (he has an iPhone 5) and now I can't. Yesterday everything was in blue, but now everything is green. I am able to send Imessages to other people but I can't do it for him. What's happening????

My iMessage only works with one contact in my phone. I text several people that have the iphone 4s, theirs works with other people. But mine only works with one person. Why?

Imessage is not working for one person

My imessage is not working for one person.
Its been like this for about 2 days
I have an iphone 5
imessage is on
both phones reset network settings,deleted and remade contact, etc.

Does the other person have iMessage on, too? Is the specific phone number/address you are trying to reach them at show up for them in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive?

IMessage won't work with 1 contact. (iOS7)

iPhone 4s with iOS7
iMessage won't work with only 1 specific contact.
Prior to updating i was able to iMessage with the contact in question without issue.
Both of us updated to iOS7 yesterday, since then messages between us are Text Messages only. We screwed around with everything. We discovered if i send to his email address (checkmarked with iMessage) it works. ALSO...after searching and trying different things, he can send me iMessages from his number, but when i respond it switches SMSs . FaceTime also works.
It works with all my other contacts without issues.
We both tried the following.
- deleting eahcother as contacts,
- resets (many)
- turned off iMessage (reset network settings)
- logging in and out of appleID in several locations
- removed checkmarks from emails/phone number
- on WiFi, on 3G
- phone restore
Start new conversation: only my phone # is checkmarked. receinve, I have 3 emails and phone number
any ideas?

Messaging not working with one person

I got my LG G3 in December and it has been working great until about a week ago. The problem started relatively small where occasionally a message would tell me it was sent but my girlfriend never received the message. The problem has gotten worst over time and especially yesterday it seemed any message of substantial length would not go through although it would tell me it had, yet any shorter message (>100 characters) would go through almost every time without problems. Starting this morning it is even worse with more messages not sending than do and now it is any length. None of my messages seem to be getting through to only this one person and I can text anyone else just fine. My default messaging app is Messaging+. I thought last night that switching to the normal messaging app might fix the problem But every time I tried to use that app (still with that one person) it would shut down. Messaging+ app will shut down sometimes, but the normal messaging app did not work at all. Could the problem be the large amount of messages between me and this one person, far greater than me and anyone else, or is there possibly another thing I don't know? I downloaded the app Advanced Task Killer and it said there were no problems with the app and I don't have any other options of what I can do. Please help? I would like to not erase all of the messages if possible.

A large number of messages, or messages large in size, basically total size of all messages can hang things up. Back up your messages with a GPStore app. Erase them. Lower your message character size. IF it still continues, its the recipients phone. Both of you should power down, remove SIM, reinsert, power up.

Do I have to have 2 Apple ID's if I have 2 IPad's. It won't work with one?

Scanner won't work with one user but will work with another

Tonight I used my scanner and it worked fine. Then a few minutes later I tried to scan another documentand it wouldn't work. I finally logged off, and switched users (to Administrator) and I was able to use thescanner. I don't know why it works for one user but not the other. (This is very inconvenient.) What do I need to do to fix it?

Hi Rustyintegrale,
A couple of questions...
1. Does the unit immediately kernel panic when power from the bus hits the drive?
2. Does it happen in multiple users?
3. If you startup, interrupt the boot process and boot to the startup manager (by holding option on startup) and then plugin the SuperDrive does it kernel panic there as well?
When a peripheral causes a unit to go into this state, there's little that can be done to troubleshoot from a software perspective. Especially if your answer to all three questions above was "yes." You can certainly try resetting the PRAM & SMC, to see if there is any change. But, I think the next best step might be to bring the machine and this optical drive to see a qualified technician.

Lacie disk won't work with one specific mac

we got two mac pros at work, each with an external lacie 1TB drive. now, one of them won't be detected by the mac pro it's normally hooked up to. it just makes a ticking sound every second. however, when i connect it to the other mac pro, it works just fine. any suggestions?

Disconnect and power down the ext HD, zap the PRAM and NVRAM, as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379 restart, hook up the ext HD, and see if that fixes the issue.

Imessage won't send to one person?

My sister got an iphone 5s yesterday and i have had an iphone 4s for about 2 years now. I have always been able to send imessages no problem but recently everyone i know with an iphone has got a new brand of phone so i have no one to imessage anymore. This has only been for a week or so. So yeah my sister got an iphone and she can send imessages to someone she knows with an iphone so her phone is fine and i have reset my settings, turned imessage and my phone on and off etc and we still cannot imessage each other. We both made sure our numbers are in the iphone option and nothing. I feel like it's a fault on my part but i can't test to see if my imessage works on anyone else! How do we fix this?

IMessages won't send to one person, no message notifications.

Okay so last night my messages app showed that I had one unread message, but all of my messages were open. I figured it would just go away, so I left it alone and went to sleep. I woke up this morning, and it was fine. The little red 1 went away. About an hour later, I went to text someone, and when i opened my messages app, all of my texts were deleted, but one name was still there with no messages. The time was 2 minutes before I checked it. I tried to iMessage the person back, but it wouldn't ever "deliver." So I text my father, who has an iPhone, and it went through and he text me back. I called the person who was trying to text me and told them to text me. I recieved their iMessage, but it still wouldn't let me reply. It would let me double click and send as a text message, though. The person said it showed up on their phone as an iMessage. I can deal with having to manually send it as a text, but now when they reply, I dont get a notification for it.
I can not turn off my phone or try to restart it because my lock button is broken and I don't know how else to turn it back on. If you know of any way tp resolve this, please help. Thanks in advance.

My iMessage isn't working to one person. I've turned it on and off and reset it but it's still not working. Help!!

Hi,
Does anyone know how to get iMessage working on an iPhone 4? The person I'm talking to has iMessage and it's working for them but not me. I've turned it off and on and reactivated it many times. Help!
Thanks.

Sync voice memos with iTunes: Connect iPhone to your computer, then in iTunes select iPhone. Select Music at the top of the screen (between Apps and Movies), select Sync Music, select “Include voice memos,” and click Apply.
Voice memos synced from iPhone to your computer appear in the Music list and in the Voice Memos playlist in iTunes. Memos synced from your computer appear in the Voice Memos app on iPhone, but not in the Music app.
This is from the iPhone user manual, iPod should be the same. Are you following these steps.

Hi,

Most likely it the way both end routing devices do NAT.
See item 3 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Networkaddresstranslation
NAT is not a Standard but is a description of what is being done and can be done various ways.
Not allow implementations by manufacturers are compatible with other manufacturers implementations.
UPnP seems to help.

FaceTime not working with one person

Hello!
So I'm running iOS8 8.1.2 on an iPhone 6+. I gave my sister my old iPhone 5C running iOS 8.1.2 to use more as an iPod Touch with wifi only. I think the FaceTime issue must be on the end of her phone, the 5C, because I can FaceTime everyone else besides her. (Everything else is functioning normally for her.) But I can't understand why it wouldn't work. It's completely not an option for either of us to FaceTime the other person. She can't tell me if it's just me or not because she doesn't have any other contacts besides me. We're both updated, we've both purged settings and allowed FaceTime to be on and connect with our iClouds. We turned on restrictions, we've rebooted, etc. If it matters, we're both synced with Windows 8 machines.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Oh, yes, I'm sorry - I should have said that!
The old phone was restored fully and set up as a totally new device/new owner/new sync and it has a new Apple ID associated with it.
