IMessaging no longer works between iPhones

my apple id changed to my email address. now when I message my wife's iphone, it doesn't show my name from her contacts list, it shows my apple id (email address) & it no longer i messaging

Hello, lfballon. 
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
I would first make sure that iMessage is set to start conversations from your phone number.  This is located under Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.  If it is set to your Apple ID and you make the change to your phone number, you will need to start a new conversation thread to this contact.  You can also just have her add your Apple ID email to your contact information.  If these steps do not resolve the issue then I would recommend taking a look at the article below.

  • IMessage no longer works between me and my girlfriend?

    I  have an iPhone 4 and my girlfriend has an iPhone 4S both with 5.1.1.  We went on an international trip and she used a local simcard for a while.  When we returend iMessaging no longer works between us.  It works between all other iPhone users though.  How do we fix this?  We have tried hard resets of both phones.  Thanks.

    This worked for a while but now it's back to the same old problem.  Any other ideas?  This is super annoying.

  • Bluetooth no longer works between iPhone 5 running iOS8 and my 2012 Buick LaCrosse

    Since I uploaded the new iOS 8 on my iPhone 5 the Bluetooth connection is no longer working correctly in my 2012 Buick LaCrosse.   The phone pairs (illuminating the Bluetooth icon in the car stereo display) however then it doesn't work.  I cannot receive calls or can't make calls.     The iPhone display shows "Calling" and the number shows, but nothing happens. 
    I tried the suggestion from ChrisJ4203 below, however it did not work for me.
    “Go into the phone and remove the vehicle from the Bluetooth list. Turn Bluetooth off, and do a reset on the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. Then go into the vehicle and remove the iPhone from the list of paired devices. Turn the vehicle off and then back on again. Place the vehicle's system into discovery/pairing mode. Go into Settings on the phone and turn Bluetooth on. The devices should see each other.”
    Any other ideas?   My iPhone worked fine from Jan 2012 to now in this same car.

    We have a 2011 Buick Enclave and the Pairing worked.  I did have to hold the phone button, say Bluetooth, Say Delete, Say the specific device to Delete ...The Pair, I think enter the code (which changes each time you Pair) and then Name the New paired Device.  To test it, I typically have to turn the vehicle off, leave the vehicle and walk far enough away to make sure the phone is not paired.  While away, tune the phone totally off.  Turn the phone back on, enter and turn key far enough to have the electrical systems come on, and then push the phone button in the car.  Good Luck.

    Hi,
    There have been no updates recently.
    You would also know if the computer had stopped for an Update.
    On the Mac in the Contacts App in the Contacts Menu > Accounts is it shown to be using iCloud to Sync the info between all devices ?

  • Blocked text msg on carrier would imessage still work between iphones

    So I am wanting to get an iphone 5. My family plan on Verizon does not have Texting actually it is blocked. Would imessage still work between iphone on wifi and 4g?

    They're not phones, thus they don't activate either iMessage or FaceTime for your phone number, only the Apple ID. That's why. IF you don't use your phone number, you should be able to activate using just your Apple ID, but as it is a phone, I suspect it will get stuck trying to activate using the phone number. You could try activating with the sim removed...in essence activate as an iPod touch.

  • IMessage not working between iPhone 4 and iPhone 5?

    Hi,
    Three friends of mine have recently upgraded to the iPhone 5. I'm still on iPhone 4.
    Since the switch over, iMessage has stopped working  between my phone, the iPhone 4 and their's, the iPhone 5.
    iMessage still works to my other friends on their iPhone 4's....
    Can someone explain/help fix this please? We all live & work in bad reception areas in the countryside so having iMessage work to send messages over wifi is super important!
    Thanks so much,
    Jen

  • Home Sharing no longer works between iTunes and Apple TV.

    I've been through all the forums, tried all the solutions provided and I have come to the conclusion that Home Sharing just no longer works between iTunes on a PC and my Apple TV.  Does anyone know if this issue will be addressed or should I list my Apple TV up on eBay?  (along with my iPad, iPod, and iPhone, since all system no longer sync together as before.)
    My issue:
    My iTunes library is no longer listed under "Computers" on the Apple TV.
    The airplay icon no longer shows up in iTunes. (Version 11)
    I cannot play music/content from my iPhone or iPad via remote that is stored in my iTunes library through my Apple TV. 
    I can however play music/content that is stored locally on my iPhone and iPad through my Apple TV.
    My firewall settings are allowing access to Apple TV.
    After logging into my router, I see no issues there.
    I've logged in/out, turned home sharing on/off, de-authorized/authorized, and restarted my PC, Apple TV, and Router.
    All devices are logged into the same iTunes account, and are on the same wireless network.
    Time for a solution Apple.

    If you turn off wifi on your  Computer and connect it to the apple tv using an ethernet cable can you see your library under computers in Apple TV.
    If yes the issue is with your wifi not the Apple TV

    I also found this article
    iTunes Home Sharing Not Working
    Not working and sometimes when it is working, it cuts out in the middle, or when you click on the computer name, the focus goes away from the library.  In other words, really weird.
    What it is
    iTunes has a feature called "Home Sharing" - it basically allows you to share your entire or part of your library with other instances of iTunes in your home network.  It requires you to login to your iTunes account on both computers.  A typical scenario is to enable Home Sharing on your desktop machine and then access the library from your iPad, Apple TV, iPhone, Mac, etc.
    In my case, I have iTunes on my desktop machine running Windows XP in the attic with Home Sharing enabled and then I access the library from my Macbook and Apple TV, depending on what I want.  How to use Home Sharing can be found here.
    Symptoms
    Home Sharing machine not showing up in Apple TV or the Macbook
    The Macbook home sharing not showing up on my desktop
    Home Sharing working intermittently
    Connections getting cut of intermittently
    Usually, restarting iTunes or the desktop computer will make things work.
    Sometimes, restarting the Macbook or the Apple TV will make things work.
    The "working" doesn't last long
    The FixOn the desktop computer where the Home Sharing is enabled, I disabled the "QoS Packet Scheduler" from the network connection:
    Open Control Panel
    Open Network Connections
    Right-Click on your connection (in my case, it was "Wireless Network Connection 4"
    Select Properties
    Uncheck "QoS Packet Scheduler"
    Click OK
    Restart iTunes if necessary
    After doing the above, Home Sharing worked like a charm.  

  • IHome no longer works with iPhone 4s after iOS 6.1 update.

    My iHome no longer works with iPhone 4s after iOS 6.1 update.  Prompts message 'This accessory is not supported by iPhone'.  Has anyone come accross this and is there a fix?

    Ring up iHome and ask them for a fix... And if they cant supply you with a fix... Then you should be entitled to a replacement or a upgrade, as firmware upgrades on your ios device should not affect audio products......

  • Wifi no longer working on Iphone 6

    wifi no longer working on Iphone 6

    First, try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data by resetting.
    If this does not help, set it up as new device, explained here:
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    If still no luck, get it checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or contact Apple Support to get it serviced:

  • My iMessage no longer works with the new is07 update how do I fix this

    My iMessage and some of my applications no longer work with the new software update. How do I fix this?

    I called Apple Support after trying many fixes suggested online. They directed me to the procedure on the following page:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4268?viewlocale=en_US
    I did the erase and restore option they suggested since I had tried a pile of ther things suggested on posts and blogs and they did not work. I even waited the obligatory 24 hours, thus the restore from backup option was what they suggested. I have a 64gig iPhone 4S and it took about 1.5 hours to complete the entire operation seeing that I am using about 54 gigs of that capacity.
    Warning: I lost all of my emails and all of the data files from one of my map programs so be sure you have everything that you really need from your phone store elsewhere before wiping your phone. I thought that the backup on my computer would restore everything but obviously NOT.
    Hope this helps.

  • Bose headset no longer works on iPhone 4

    My Bose headset, which worked flawlessly on 3GS, no longer works for voice control and voice memos on my new iphone 4. They still work fine as headphones but the microphone no longer is operational. The Apple supplied headset works and if I unplug the Bose set the voice dialing and memos work okay.
    But when I use the Bose headset and try to record a voice memo it includes a rhythmic static every half second or so. Voice control is completely non-operational with this headset. I'm thinking something with the noise canceling is screwed up.
    Anyone have any possible work arounds?

    Ya, this is a bit of a Joke.
    I have an $80 pair of skullcandy headphones with Mic that I just recently purchased for my iPhone 3G. When I jumped to the iPhone4 it doesnt work. The apple headset works every time. When I plug in the skull candy, I can hear the person I'm calling but they cant hear me and to add to that, there is this staticy pulsing sound on the line from the headset. If I press and hold the Talk/Music button on my SC headset, the person I'm calling can hear me but they say I sound like I'm in the background. I thought as you did that the mic on the phone was then in use, but when i disconnected the headset, the person I called said it changed and I sounded "Really" far away at that point.
    Apple: So how do I fix this? I refuse to carry around two headsets and the apple headset is less than desireable for quality music listening.
