IMessage works for some numbers but not all

Hello all!
So I've run into a bit of a problem with my iMessage recently.
Currently I've been able to fix it for some of my iphone friends but there's one that I just can't seem to get to work.
So basically the rundown I did to fix it for the majority of my friends #'s was I
Turned off Imessage and Facetime
Restarted my phone
Turned on imessage and facetime
And that seemed to fix whatever was wrong with the majority of my friends.
However, there's one that just won't work..I know that he doesn't have texting on his iphone because where he lives he doesn't get service so he relies on wifi to use imessage..It was working fine until a couple weeks ago when I couldn't send anyone an imessage..and then randomly it started sending from my email. So upon searching the internet I got it to go back to my number but now  I'm unable to text him anymore... It worked while on my email but once I got back on my number it didn't.!
I'm not quite sure if it's on my end or his..but I hope I can get some answers here!
Thanks!

Hello hwestphal, 
Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities. 
It looks like you were not able to send iMessages to your contacts, and you've solved it by turning iMessage and FaceTime off and on again. It sounds like after this, your friend is not receiving iMessages because they are sending from your phone number. 
Next, I'd suggest the steps in this article to make sure that your phone number is linked to your Apple ID (email address):
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support
Your friend may also want to try these steps on their iPhone when they are in range of cellular service. 
Best Regards,
Jeremy

    I just re-published some sites with teh latest version of iweb and those sites work fine on Safari on my Mac Pro but it does not work on Firefox or Explorer on my Mac Pro. The site does not work at all on my moms older imac and Safari.
    Anyone have any clues what is going on here?

  • Problems with Home Sharing - works with some users but not all

    Hi all,
    On our Mac we have 3 different user accounts. Among the three, home sharing seems to work for two of them, but not three. For example, if I'm logged into User A's account, I'm able to access the library for users B & C. However, B & C are able to see user A's library, but items do not play or transfer. B & C can use each other's shared libraries without a problem.
    Previously, all three users could use the other's libraries. I've done the obvious: restarted the computer, made sure sharing was turned on on all 3 accounts and synced the Apple ID and password on all three iTunes so that they're runing on the same Apple ID account.
    The error I get when trying to transfer songs from A to either B or C is: "There was a problem downloading "[song name]". The URL "" could not be found on the server."
    We're using iTunes 9.0.2.
    Thanks all in advance

  • Citrix XenApp 7.6 & VDI Plugin works for some users but not others

    I have a customer with XenApp 7.6 and Lync 2013 SE. They have two users homed to the same pool, both with the same VDI client policy however on one account the VDI pairing works fine over Citrix XenApp, but the other the pairing fails. On both accounts I
    get prompted for the credentials, however the second account will not authenticate. I have tried domain\username, domain.local\username and [email protected] but all fail then I get the red cross through the VDI icon.
    This is all from the same Windows 7 machine, all user accounts are within the same AD domain.
    If anyone has seen similar before any assistance would be greatly appreciated as I am banging my head against the wall!

  • Direct push stop working for many iphones but not all including Android.

    Hi Guys,
    We have 2 node DAG and devices are connecting to Kemp load balancer for HA. Last week,There were Cisco Network switch activity and since then few iphone' direct push is stop working however fetch is working fine. There is no alert on LB/exchange
    Funny things is, my iphone is working fine .. i am getting email before it shows on outlook.
    Additionally when i checked active sync for my account or others (having issue)https://testconnectivity.microsoft.com/ there are some error (attached).
    Amit Rawat | MCITP - Exchange 2007/2010| CCNA |MCSE- 2003| Lync 2010|http://blog.amitrawat.net

    Hi Amit,
    According to your description, I understand that some mobile phone cannot get the push from Exchange server after add an Cisco Network switch in your environment, besides test ActiveSync failed with very long delay.
    I want to double confirm some points, please help to collect the answer for following questions:
    1. What’s the function for Kemp load balance, hardware or network traffic optimization?
    2. Are you using Cisco network switch as network load balance functionality?
    3. How about the Outlook sync from the external?
    Depend on the error message and your test, it’s related to Network issue instead of  Exchange.
    Please try to use Microsoft Network Monitor to get more detail progress of the connection of sync, for more resource: 
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=4865
    Additional, please contact Mobility and ActiveSync Team so that you can get more professional suggestions. For your convenience:

  • How do I troubleshoot installation/distribution of a LabVIEW .exe which processes data using Matlab when it works on some computers but not others?

    I've been given the unenviable task of troubleshooting and installing/distributing software written by a former co-worker. I've modified the LabVIEW code and built an .exe file. I've successfully installed the Labview .exe file on several computers, but it won't work on some others. What's more baffling is that I installed it successfully on one computer, uninstalled it, and tried reinstalling it with no success. In fact, it's a new error (Dr. Watson for Windows NT application error). It doesn't help that I have different versions of LabVIEW and Matlab on the target computers. Some have LabVIEW 5.1, some
    have 5.0, and some don't have it at all. Some have Matlab 5.2, some have 5.3 (R11) and some have 6.0 (R12). It's also not clear to me where the Matlab m files should be located. I'm not sure if it's a LabVIEW Runtime Engine problem, or if it's a Matlab problem. I've also wondered how LabVIEW and Matlab talk to each other. When LabVIEW calls Matlab, it seems that Matlab is running in the background. In other words, clicking on the Matlab Command Window and typing "whos" or any other command/variable doesn't work.

  • Classic - text ringtones work for one contact but not for others

    Just got the new Blackberry classic.  I'm having trouble with the ringtones for the text messages.  The custom ringtone works for one contact but not for the others.  I have taken the same custom ringtone that works for contact A and used it for contact B but it only works for A.  B sounds the default ringtone from the default profile instead of the custom ringtone.
    I have deleted all contacts and done a re-sync thinking something was corrupt.  That didn't work. 
    None of the contacts have a link. 
    I have changed the notification profile and it still doesn't work. 
    I have deleted a contact and recreated it manually.  It still doesn't work. 
    I finally deleted my dad's  contact and from the phone app created a new contact.  I set a custom ringtone for him and it worked.  I of course had to recreate all his other information manually.  Please tell me there is some other way to fix this than recreating manually all 147 contacts in my contact list.
    I read that if the phone number has the hypen or space it won't work, but my dad's contact info that I created from the phone app has the hypen and it rings with the custom ringtone.  Also contact A has no hypen in the phone number and it rings the custom ringtone.  So that didn't seem to matter. 
    I have spent hours on Google and see that lots of people have had this problem (but not everyone) but have not yet found a solution. 
    Surely someone has found a fix for this issue.

    Make sure that the contact has "Mobile" as the field for her number and not "iPhone".
    Note that the iPad cannot send SMS messages.

  • I use Photoshop Elements 11 to print panoramas. Works for jpeg images but not tiff. Suggestions?

    I use Photoshop Elements 11 to print panoramas. It works for jpeg images but not for tiff images. Seems strange because PSE11 manages tiff images in all other processes. Anyone fared better?

    Thank you for your trouble.
    My images are not usually layered and the particular case I am about to quote, it is not. The dimensions are 10,546 x 2,790 and the image has 16.7 mbs. I use 8 bit colour. When I set up the print screens for tiff, everything is normal until I get to the last screen with the image set upon the photo paper. Then the paper size indicated with the image refuses to budge from the A4 size, so the panorama gets printed on that. I consulted the Adobe chat line and the expert could 't get it to work either. So he came to the conclusion that the tiff capability had not been extended to printing panoramas. In seeking advice, I thought someone might refer me to an updating patch!
    Well done! You have confounded the system!  I could not find any control that would override the setting.

  • Migrate SOME apps but not all?

    Is it possible to use migration assist to migrate SOME Apps but not all of them? If so, how?

    No. Migration Assistant will transfer the entire folder but you cannot selectively transfer individual applications. However, you can simply copy items from the Applications folder to the other computer via Target Disk Mode without the use of MA. Although this will work just fine it will not automatically include any other associated files needed by the applications transferred such as Applications Support files, preference files, or other installed files. Therefore, it would be better to simply reinstall the individual applications or transfer all of them, then delete what you don't want.

  • My apple tv will not authenticate my nba league pass login--I am in the United States and the same login/pw works for my iPad, but not for apple tv.

    My NBA League Pass login cannot be authenticated -- I am in the United States and the same league pass name and password are working for my iPad, but not for my apple tv.

    I have this same issue and am becoming quite upset. NBA has absolutely no contact information to call and resolve this issue. I just spent $139.99 and cannot connect to Apple TV, while the same login works just fine on my iMac and iPad. When I signed up, the information provided indicated that I could view live games on Apple TV. What the ****?

    Logic's preference files may have become corrupted:
    1. Quit Logic Pro
    2. In the Finder, press and hold down the "option" key then select "Library" from the "Go" menu
    3. Open the "Preferences" folder

  • Sound working on some programs but not others (Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC)

    The sound is working for some programs (iTunes) on my laptop, but will not work with Chrome, Internet Explorer or BBC iPlayer Downloads.
    I'm at a loss to explain why. When I open up the Sound settings on the laptop, I can see that iTunes output plays on the 'Speakers and Dual Headphones' device, which is what I believe all my sound would usually come out from. I can hear it as usual.
    However, when I play audio in Chrome, no sound comes out, but it appears the device 'SPDIF (Digital Out via HP Dock)' is now playing the sound instead. The sound bar for this moves up and down while something is playing, but I cannot hear anything at all.
    It is as if my internet programs have been configured to have sound output through a device that does not actually exist. I tried fiddling around with Sound settings and 'Disabled' the SPDIF device, but nothing has actually changed. I would like to hook my internet audio back up to the 'Speakers and Dual Headphones' option but cannot work out how to.
    Sorry if this is not very well-explained, but I have never dealt with this problem before.
    Thank you so much if you're able to help - this is very frustrating!
    Edit: I also recently used a new HDMI cable to hook my laptop up to our TV and think this could be something to do with it
