IMessages don't come through on Wifi

I have one friend on the same carrier as me (cspire), with same phone as me (iPhone 5) and when he sends out a picture or group message it wont come through unless I have mobile data turned on.  Wifi is on and connected all the time.  I have sent and received iMessages to and from others on wifi.  At times I'll turn on mobile data when I'm away from wifi and a flood of messages from this one friend will come through.
Any ideas?  Something set wrong on his phone?

On your iPhone, go to Settings > Messages.  Make sure iMessage is turned on and you can see options for Read Receipts, Send as SMS and Receive at.  If you don't see these options, turn off iMessages and then back on, the options should appear (apparently there's a bug that prevents the extra iMessage options from appearing when you first open the settings).
Tap on the option for Receive at and enter the email associated with your Mac iMessaging.  Once entered, you should receive imessages on both your phone and your Mac.  You may need to send/receive a couple of messages to get it to work.

    I have FCE 4.0.1 and running OS x 10.7.5  when i burn my movie the audio from my movie clips don't come through .  My Sound effects and music can be heard.  First I export to Quicktime movie, make it self contained then open IDVD for an intro and burn it.  everything sounds great in preview but then ( once again)I lose my audio from my movie clips.

    Try Mixing Down the audio before export.

  • Updates template don't come through on the site

    What I have been trying to do is update a template and apply it to all files that are based on this template. The problem I have been encountering is not inside dreamweaver itself: the template is updated automatically in every file I want it to. The problem is that these changes don't come through on the site for some of the files.
    Any tips on what I might be doing wrong? I have investigated this forum and checked the frequent mistakes that are made with using templates, but I can't seem to figure out what is wrong, because the files in dreamweaver display correctly...
    Thank you very much!

    because  the Root Folder of the Remote's definition (in the files menu on the right, remote view) is only a / and doesn't correspond with the name of the local root folder in the files menu on the right.
    It should not correspond with the local root folder name.
    Is it the slash that is causing the problem?
    Most likely it is the lack of the name of the actual root folder for the web hosting account that is causing the problem.  With only a slash there, you are uploading the files to the root of the FTP LOGIN which is usually the parent folder to the root of the website.  Thus, your files are there, but they are ABOVE the website's root and cannot be seen when you browse to the web domain.
    Ask your host what is the name of the root folder for the website - it should be something like "htdocs" or "httpdocs" or "public_html" or "wwwroot" or "www" or something like that, depending on whether your host is a *nix or Windows server.  That information was given to you when you first secured the web hosting account.  Put that name into the Root Directory field of the remote site definition.  Then it should work.

  • My messages sometimes don't come through until I receive a phone call. Anyone else having these problems?

    Hi,
    I wondered if anyone else is having this problem. For the past few days, my Iphone 4 has not been receiving messages until I make a phone call or a phone call comes through.
    Has anyone else had this problem and if so how did you ressolve it.
    It's never done it before and it's making me seem ignorant.
    Thanks

    IF you have restored your iPhone and still have these problems, you have a defective iPhone and there is nothing anyone here can help you with -- you have to contact Apple for service.

  • Curly quotes that don't come through from Word

    Every now and then I get a Word file with a few quotes that come through
    to CS3 as accented characters instead of quotes. Anyone know why this
    happens?
    Download this zip file:
    http://www.pegtype.com/quotesdontwork.zip
    unzip it, and Place the Word file. You should see three short
    paragraphs. The middle one has the quotes munged.

    Yes, I have both Times and Times New Roman installed here, so there's no
    substitution in Word or Indesign. And I did try it in CS4, where the
    problem seems to be gone.
    I guess it's kind of late in the game to be finding bugs in CS3; I just
    wish I could explain why it's happening. Then maybe I would know what to
    look for so I could find these before they make their way into the book.
    I can search for those four characters, but, for instance, there were 64
    other, legitimate, i accents acute in this book. And this is not limited
    to quotes. I occasionally run into the same kind of unexplained
    substitution with dashes and a few other characters.
    Or I could just start using CS4.

  • Some radio stations don't come through

    For the longest time I was able to listen to DW (Deutsche Welle) through my I-Tunes. Then a while back whenever I double click it to listen it says GETTING PLAYLIST.........but then there is nothing, no sound, nothing! What would have changed? And should I be checking for something that needs changing in order to get this?

    Deutshe Welle have a lot of different streams in different formats, so I don't know which one is causing troubles for you. Poking around their web site, the "Listen live" stream works fine in their own pop-up player (which then labels the stream as "DW-RADIO live"), but the only available stream available to external players compatible with iTunes is a 64 kbps MP3 stream, which does not work properly in my browser with the configured QuickTime plug-in. However, if you open iTunes, and then click Advanced > Open Audio Stream and paste the following URL in the window, the stream should play.

    You can sign out of imesssage and facetime and wait a few seconds and retry again on both. Or sign out and restart phone and sign back into both.
    Have you tried to do a hard rest? Holding power and home till the phone restarts and release after seeing the apple logo.
    You can also try reset your network connection by Settings>General>Reset>Reset network Settings
    If it still fails, reset everything by Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings

  • [Bug] Some email replies don't go through

    I've noticed that some of my replies by email don't come through... For example, I've sent a reply to this thread (I have a question about extracting pages.  When I do the function, adobe saves the individual files as "<file name><space><page number>", so the files look like this "filename 1.pdf", "filename 2.pdf", "filename 3.pdf".  Without too many gory details, I a) and it never arrived, so I posted it via the thread itself. I have a suspicion it might have to do with the use of special symbols in the title (quotes, smaller-than, greater-than, etc.), but this is just a guess. Anyone else experiencing this behaivour?

    I have the same problem and its annoying. Plz Help! 

  • Does texting on imessage through free wifi charge you if you don't have a text messaging or data plan?

    Ok so I just got a new iphone 4s that's factory unlocked & I was wondering if you texted someone through imessage on wifi, will that charge you any money?
    If the person doesn't have imessage? And if they do? Because I don't have a text messaging or data plan.

    But what if I don't use the data plan for imessage and use wifi instead?
    If you are using wifi, you are not using a data plan. You will not be charged.
    And you cannot send SMS over wifi. You can only send iMessages (to people with Macs/iDevices and iMessage enabled).
    I was wondering if you texted someone through imessage on wifi, will that charge you any money?
    Messages is the app.
    iMessage is type of message that goes over wifi or cell data.
    Open the Messages app and add a phone number or appleID, the line to enter you message will display Text Message (and a green Send button) or iMessage (and a blue Send button).
    If it's a text message (green) it will be sent as SMS and you will be charged, even if you are on wifi.
    If it's an iMessage (blue) and you are on wifi, it will be sent over wifi (no charge).
    If it's an iMessage (blue) and you are NOT on wifi, it will be sent over cell data or sent as an SMS.

  • Can I turn off my iMessage so everything will come through as SMS??

    My husband and I both have an iPhone 4. We have unlimited text, a limited amount of data and do not have wifi. So I figured if I turned off my iMessage I could conserve on my data, but then I don't receive any my husband (and possibly others') texts. This doesn't seem right to me. I figured everything will just come through as an SMS and not use my data.
    If anyone has suggestions or of knowledge of how this should work or what I can do I would appreciate it!!

    I'm completely fine with data usage if I choose to send pics.
    But if I have my iMessage off I can send a text my husband and he will receive it, but I do not get the texts he sends to me.

    anyone else have this problem?

    Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so.
    Sign out of iMessage on the Mac: Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out.
    Sign out on the iPhone: Settings ▹ Messages ▹ Send & Receive ▹ Apple ID ▹ Sign out.
    Then, on the phone, tap Use Your Apple ID for iMessage.
    Sign back into iMessage on both devices and test.

  • My phone won't connect to the internet even though it says I have 3G.  As soon as I get home it connects to the WIFI and I get a flood of emails etc come through.  Can anyone explain what the problem might be?

    Whilst I'm at work I can't seem to connect to the internet, despite the home screen telling me I have a 3G connection.  I can't get anything to refresh at all, until I go home and my phone auto connects to the WIFI and then I get all my emails and app notifications come through in a flood.
    All other aspects of my phone working fine.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    Check to see if you have cellular data enabled for mail.
