Imessages not sending/ receiving. All texts made to other iphone users produce an error message where it shows as it was unable to deliver, however, the messages go through, but error still comes up after each imessage sent. this does this for each text

I have the Iphone 5S. Over the last few days, I continually get mail delivery errors when imessages are sent to any contacts who have iphones. I have spoken to my friends/ family who are also on the receiving/ sending end of my messages. They also say that they are receiving an error/ mail delivery error when they send imessages to my phone. Text messages are working fine (with other phones that are not iphones) and no delivery errors come up. However, it is just with me sending or receiving imessages. I have gone in to settings> messages> send & receive and all my information is right. I have also attempted to cut the phone off and back on (hard reset as well) and this has not fixed the problem. I then explored to see if my software was out of date, however, i have the most up to date software for the iphone 5 S. Does anyone know of a way to fix this problem, as it is annoying to both me and anyone else who has an iphone that sends me a text/ imessage as it will *alert* that there was a delivery failure.
Please help!!

There could be a problem with iMessage, although usually when there is an outage these boards are flooded with problems. It could be a very isolated issue, and if just started all of a sudden, it might be something at Apple.
Although it is annoying, I would just wait it out a few days and see if it goes away on its own.

Iphone 5 won't send/receive texts/calls from other iphone users

So I recently upgraded my android phone to an iphone 5 on saturday and when I got it, I was able to make calls and receive texts from other iphone users. And now my texts aren't sending to other iphone users/calls and I won't receive them. My friends with iphones called my phone and my phone didn't receive their call. Also when i send texts it says "not delivered". I know it's just iphone users since my family members have androids.
I've tried resetting my phone and taking out the sim.

Try totally shutting all of your apps, double click the home button then hold your finger on an app until you see the red minus sign then tap that on all your app, then restart your iPhone, then give it a try. If you are still having problems you will need to check with your service provider to make sure your account is provisioned correctly.

I can't send messages or receive them without wifi to other iPhone users,

I can't send or receive a message with using wifi from iPhone users, what do I do?

Right, that's how iMessage works. Are you indicating that you cannot send SMS or MMS messages to other iPhone users over your cellular connection? Can you send them to other contacts (non-iPhone contacts)?

IMessage not sending, receiving or synching with iOS 6 devices

Yesterday iMessage on Mac (runing ML 10.8.2) stopped being able to send, received and synch. Seems to have coincided with changing of passwords, which I believe all devices (iMac, iPhone and iPad) are using the same password. Has anyone has a similar experience where Messages was working but then stopped. It is still working on iPhone but is not updating the iPad or iMac. Similary, when I send a Message on the iPad neither the iPhone nor the iMac are updated.

iMessage has stopped on my iMac - ML OS has played up twice in the past week. Reboot etc doesnt solve it. It works fine on iPhone 5 and iPad 2 but will not open on iMac. Error message 994 bad access etc and keeps quitting and message box say it is inactive. When I got to preferences it Quits! All messages have disappeared aswell. Any ideas? It will cost me £35 to call apple to get the answer( as the iMac is outta warranty but only 4 years old). Help?

IMessage not sending/receiving pictures (OSX 10.8.2)

Hey guys,
I've been fiddeling around with iMessage for quite some time now and I'm just not able to get my MacBook Pro to load images a friend is sending me via iMessage. Weirdly I get the pictures in iMessage on my Server (OSX Server 10.8.2) and my other devices.
Any ideas?
iMessage is always telling me that I get a 'Vendor request fail'.

Hi there,
someone already found any solution?

When I enter a website, FireFox used to auto login and password. Now is does NOT. If I choose remember me check box, the website remembers me but I still have to enter a password. I think this is a problem created with website programming.

The problem is with most websites but not all. When I try to login to this website to ask this question, I have recorded 3 logins. Only one works, but that is a different problem. The websites used to automatically login and suddenly don't. I believe the problem is a change in programming for the website programmers. I found a solution (not a viable one) previously here that is supposed to remember login and password through a laborious process, but that is really cumbersome and doesn't always work either. Today I cannot find that process to try it. I am trying to login to ATT website which was just changed.

Here are two screen shots to show you what I am seeing. The first screen shot shows it allowing me to select (highlighted in blue) my admin user (which is what I am locced in as). The second screen shot shows it allowing me to select the "Guest" user (highlighted in blue). However when I click on the user "Orion" nothing happens. It will not change to highlight that user.

When I launch the apps store, the google maps download page shows and I am unable to proceed to the store in spite of having already downloaded google maps. Any clues on rectifying this please?

When I launch the apps store on my iPad air I can see the store in the background but in the foreground is the google maps download page. I have downloaded google maps but the information page seems to be over riding the apps store. Any clues on rectifying this please?

Hi Sallythyme,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Forcing the App Store to close and restarting/resetting your iPhone may help remedy this:

Why Does the iPhone not send/receive MMS?

Why Does the iPhone not send/receive MMS? this in the works?

"Why Does the iPhone not send/receive MMS?"
Apple chose not to offer this as a feature of iphone. E-mail can accomplish the same thing.
"is in the works?"
This has been asked and answered countless times. The forum search bar is on the right side of this page.
Apple has announced that MMS will be included in the 3.0 software due out this summer. Before you ask, all that has been announced is in this link:

Would like to use iMessages internationally, sending between an iPod touch and and iPhone. Does anyone know if it will work between countries?

The iPhone is not user servicable. You can get an out of warranty replacement from Apple for $149. If you open the phone yourself, you forfeit the ability to do this.

For the past few weeks when I place a bid on ebay, Firefox crashes. The bid goes through but I have to restart Firefox each time. I have sent a report each time and asked to be notified and as of yet I have not got a solution to this problem.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

TS2755 When will Apple have a fix for iMessages not sending in iOS 7?

I saw the news that it was affecting a "fraction of a percent" of users. I know 2 people it is affecting, and it is now indirectly affecting me. So let's be real...it is affecting much more.
The temporary fixes are indeed that, temporary. Most users have the issue come back in day or two.
Even though the issue is not on my phone, I ahve had to turn off iMessages to communicate with my husband whose iMessages are not working. And now I find out that when I do that, other iPhone users cannot iMessage me. Where does it end, Apple? This company is really making my desire to switch to the Galaxy S4 almost palpable.

I tried about most of the trouble shooting tips on the internet, I even did a clean install with ALL the apps,
Update the iOS and even the still black or blue screen for 2-4 seconds between a app opening , all the apps are closed down like nothing runs in the background....
I even cut most of my images to the Macbook and on DropBox or GoogleDrive...
When I tried to chat online to Apple Care, after I inserted the serial number, it gave me a message that the device has been replaced, please contact Apple care.....
It is like running in circles to get an answer....
Speaking to an Apple guru on the phone is like " Oh just make an appointment and leave it here for repairs...."
This is the only phone I run my business from...

Hi i have an iphone 5 and i use iMessage to reach my contacts, 2 weeks ago i switched my plan so now i have no internet in my plan. Since i changed my plan i don't receive the messages other iphone users send me. what do i need to do to get all messages?

iMessage requires data. You need to have an active internet connnection, either wi-fi or cellular. If you are not connected via wi-fi, then you would need a cellular data connection. If you do not have that, then you will not receive the iMessages. Either get the cellular data back, or remain connected to wi-fi, or you will have to disable iMessage and ensure that you have an SMS texting plan with your carrier.

When iMessage is off, I dont receive texts from other iPhone users.

I do not like iMessage because it uses data so I have it off.
BUT I do not receieve the Text messages from other iPhone users. BUT my mac does gets them.
What I am trying to say is that Person A sends me a text to my phone number from the Text Message app, but since they have iMessage on it goes to my MAC instead of my iPhone.. I dont get it.

Imessage doesn't use data. I would say SMS uses more data.
When you turn off imessage on your Mac what happens?

Imessages not sending/ receiving. All texts made to other iphone users produce an error message where it shows as it was unable to deliver, however, the messages go through, but error still comes up after each imessage sent. this does this for each text
