Ios 5.1 imessage issues

I have 3 iphones (4S models) that all have had the same appleID. This hasn't been an issue up to this point, and allowed easy sharing of apps, movies and music.
After the latest 5.1 update, imessage is very erradic. Prior to the update, iMessages (presumably using the CallerID function) could be sent from any of the phones and the sent message would be associated with phone number, and therefore the reciever would see it as a message from the appropriate person.
After the update, iMessages recieved indicate that they are from the appleID (even though the callerID is set to the phone number) and sometimes they say that they are from "Vociemail" (if sent to another phone with the same appleID.
I've done a hard reset, turned Imessaging on/off and haven't found a solution.
Any thoughts?
thanks

since upgrading to IOS 5.1 it seems iMessage doesn't work when on WIFI only... everything stalls out and then says in red letters "not delivered". Very frustrating as I use this all the time on gogo while flying every week. sounds like we're stuck wating for Apple to fix. I'm really losing faith in Apple's testing dept when it comes to upgrades. I'm waiting on these upgrades from now on!!! First the Lion mess, now this. Come on guys...find these issues before you launch!!!

IMessage issues Help!!

Hi all,
I bought me and my partner an iPad for christmas and since starting them up for the very first time and setting up iMessage and Facetime it has been working perfectly until a few days ago.
Normally I would send a message to her either on my iPad or my iPhone and she would get it. It would even sync with whichever device I hadn't used. But now it is hit and miss as to whether we receive the messages or not - despite the fact it say Message Delivered!!
My partner has reset her iPad and reconnected to her network (in France by the way) but it will not let her use the email address that she originally used to set up her Apple account. It says that the account is unavailable or in use. All so, she has sent me messages over the past week and I seem to get one or two of them every now and again. In the mean time she has created a new email address to use on iMessage and it worked fine last night but today it seems to be down again.
I myself have made sure all my usernames, emails and passwords are all correct. I even reset the network settings last night and still this seems to have no effect. When I try and face time her it says that the email address is available at this time.
Can anybody please try and shed some light on this issue. This is the only way for us to keep in touch without racking up an enormous phone bill!!
Many Thanks
Chris

App-specific passwords: are they required for the iOS versions of iMessage and Facetime?

I was recently prompted to generate app-specific passwords for iMessage and FaceTime on my Mac. The process went reasonably smoothly, but after doing this I wondered whether I'll need to do the same on my iOS devices.
The Apple Support page Using app-specific passwords - Apple Support offers no clues about which Apple apps require them and on which devices.
As a test, I tried signing out of iMessage on my iPhone, and signing back in with my regular Apple ID password, not an app-specific one. This worked fine, therefore I assume the iOS versions of iMessage and Facetime do not need app-specific passwords.
On the other hand, I've read some of the articles which state that the iOS versions of iMessage and Facetime will require app-specific passwords:
http://arstechnica.com/apple/2015/02/apple-extends-two-factor-authentication-to- facetime-and-imessage/
Does this mean that app-specific passwords have simply not been "rolled out" to my devices yet, and we'll be prompted to generate app-specific passwords on iOS at some random time in the future?
If so, that's a problem for non-technical users in my household on whose behalf I look do setup and security. It will effectively mean iMessage will stop working for them, until I can take a look at the issue. This is not always something that can be done quickly if we're in different locations.
If I pre-empt the roll-out by visiting https://appleid.apple.com/account/manage/security and generate and install an app-specific passwords for them anyway, before the prompt appears, will this work?

So far the app specific passwords were only required for 3rd party apps, not for "Apple apps". Not sure why you cannot use trusted device verification for iMessage and FT like on the App store or iTunes. or on Apple TV.
Having to generate a different app specific password for every device that uses iMessage or FT is a pain, but I guess the powers that be at Apple feel it is more secure.

IOS 8.1+ Performance Issue

Hello,
I encountered a serious performance bug in Adobe Air iOS application on devices running iOS 8.1 or later. Approximately in 1-2 minutes fps drops to 7 or lower without interacting with the app. This is very noticeable in the app. The app looks like frozen for about 0.5 seconds. The bug doesn't appear on every session.
Devices tested: iPad Mini iOS 8.1.1, iPhone 6 iOS 8.2. iPod Touch 4 iOS 6 is working correctly.
Air SDK versions: 15 and 17 tested.
I can track the bug using Adobe Scout. There is a noticeable spike on frame time 1.16. Framerate drops to 7.0. The App spends much time on function Runtime overhead. Sometimes the top activity is Running AS3 attached to frame or Waiting For Next Frame instead of Runtime overhead.
The bug can be reproduced on an empty application having a one bitmap on stage. Open the app and wait for two minutes and the bug should appear. If not, just close and relaunch the app.

Hi
Id already activated Messages and entered the 6 digit code I was presented with into my iPhone. I can receive txt messages from non iOS users on my iMac and can reply to those messages.
I just can't send a new message from scratch to a non iOS user :-s
Thanks

Just updated to IOS 7 and two issues: First when I connect my iPhone to my computer I get this error message:itunes was unable to provider data from sync services".

Just updated to IOS 7 and two issues:
First when I connect my iPhone to my computer I get this error message:itunes was unable to provider data from sync services". I'm not sure what this really means...
The second issue is when I try to select "Manually Manage Music"
The iPhone "My iPhone" is synced with another iTunes libary on "MY-PC". Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library? An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."
So... I don't want to do that, but I do what to be able to Manage my music. I'm not sure what it means by being synced to another iTunes unless it means to an older version of itunes?
Anyone have any ideas?

I cannot address the sync services error right now, but the error that you receive when you change from sync to manually manage music is what happens when you change. Once you change to manually manage music, it erases all of the music and will only put the music that you want on the phone, content that you manually drag over to it. See if this support document helps you out. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535

Apple support asked me to reset my settings to fix my iMessage issue, now the issue is that I can't get past the sync to iTunes message on my phone. My phone is stuck in reset and I can't even use it!

Apple support asked me to reset my settings to fix my iMessage issue and not my iPhone is stuck in reset mode. It won't sync with my iTunes and it won't allow me to move past that reset screen to even use my phone.

Anyone out there have this issue, I'd really love some help/guidance.
Everytime I restart, force quit mail, restart in safe mode, and regular mode, when I reopen the Mail application, it goes right to the Upgrade Mail database screen and goes right back to the same spot it has been since I downloaded Mountain Lion and initislly opened the Mail app. It only goes to the Upgrade option, or can quit and Upgrade later. It is stuck in the middle of the Upgrade of my mail database...this blows!!!

IOS 8.3 Airplay issue

I have an iPad Air 2 and iPhone 6+, both are upgraded to iOS 8.3 recently.
I've noticed when I am using Airplay to watch web content, usually a short video on a web page, the airplay would gut out randomly (every 3-5 minutes or so). When this happens, the video continues to play on the iPad or iPhone, but seems Airplay connection was dropped. Before the upgrade, those videos were playing on my apple tv streaming from my iPad Air 2 and iPhone 6+ perfectly. I did check my apple TV software, it says no update available.
Anyone else have seen this issue, or have reported similar issue to Apple? Looks like an iOS 8.3 specific issue to me.

Greetings bgeiOS,
If you are having an issue with losing AirPlay connection during use from your iOS devices, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
Get help using AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
In particular from the section titled If your playback is interrupted, or you have network lag -
You might notice these issues if you have a weak Wi-Fi signal or interference from a different device, like a microwave or baby monitor. Try these steps:
Make sure that you're using the recommended settings for your Wi-Fi router.
Move or turn off other devices that might cause interference.
Try connecting your Apple TV directly to the router using an Ethernet cable instead of Wi-Fi.
Some apps might stop AirPlay when you lock your device or put your device to sleep.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Be well,
Brett L

TS4002 iOS 6.0.1 issues

i completely lost access to mail after installing iOS 6.0.1. It won't even open now.

So to confirm, you have done the following?
1- Hard Reset device.
2- Restarted device.
3- Reset Network Settings.
4- Reset All Settings
5- Restored as New and then trialed issues without having ANY person data on the device.
If you HAVE done all those steps, then have device replaced.
If you have NOT done all those steps, do them, then let us know what happens when they have been done, possibly in a less pretentious and ranting way, realising that a) we are fellow users, we have no control over the situation, so complaining to us does nothing to help you, and b) Dropping game titles and using the FAR too used "Steve Jobs must be..." line does not give you the appearance of intelligence, but someone who's phone doesn't do what they want it to do, and thinks they're the center of the universe because of it.
We realise that there are thousands of results when you search "iOS 6.0.1 issues" in google, but what YOU have to realise is that the results will include duplicate results within single threads, are related to multiple different devices, and in some times use a VERY loose search terms (you may find results like "What issues do you think will be in iOS 6.0.1" as a forum thread) because you have made a broad search.

IOS 8.1.1 - Issues with hands free (Parrot MKi9100)

Dear Community...
I have updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 8.1.1. Exactly since that day I am experiencing an issue with my in-car hands free kit (Parrot MKi9100):
Normally, while the iPhone and the hands free kit are connected, whenever the iPhone makes a sound (be it phone-calls, music, notifications or the text-to-speech function), the hands free kit jumps in, muting my car radio and playing the iPhone-Sound over the car speakers.
On iOS 8.0, that would only function with phone-calls, any other sound was not transferred to the hands free kit.
On iOS 8.1, the issue was fixed, and everything worked fine.
On iOS 8.1.1 the following happens: Whenever I wake my iPhone (i.e. pressing home-button or sleep-wake button, even without unlocking the phone) the hands free kit jumps in and mutes the radio... although the iPhone is not about to make a sound... This also happens, when the iPhone is switched to silent mode. Whenever the iPhone-Display is switched on, this will mute my car radio, as if the hands free kit was awaiting a sound from the iPhone.
This makes it impossible to enjoy the car radio and using the phone (of course only the passenger will use the phone, while I'm driving... I am a responsible driver...)
But nonetheless: Is there any known fix?
@apple: If not, will this be fixed with 8.1.2?
Thanks and best regards
cihag

IMessage issue: Changed password for my Apple ID this morning and now my iMessage is sending through my email?

iMessage issue: Changed password for my Apple ID this morning and now my iMessage is sending through my email instead of my number and I haven't been receiving any texts through iMessage! I read the article, followed the steps, and it did not fix the problem. Help?

Hello!
On all of these devices, go to: Settings > iCloud and make sure they're updated with the new password. If you're talking about Macs, go to: "System Preferences > iCloud" too.

Ipad 3rd generation, iOS 8, home button issue, with fix

I have seen a lot of iOS 8 home button issues on phones but not much on the iPad. But I started having problems right away. Clicking would not get be back to the home screen. Clicking did not get me out of program. It was all intermittent too.
I found a good you tube video about ipad home button issues. First I tried recalibrating the home button. You hold the power switch down till you get the slider to turn off the iPad. then let go and hold down the home button till the screen changes. that seemed to fix most of the problems for a couple hours. But then it came back.
Next tried putting a drop of isopropyl Alcohol on my finger tip and pushed down and up on the outside edge of the home button, all around the circumference. Then did the cal again. That seems to have worked permanently.
iOS 8 is still slow but I guess everyone has that on anything older than a year.

Hi Hexonxonx, thanks for trying to help, but next time please read the entire discussion, in oder to better comprehend what is being asked. The reason being is that your answer added nothing to what had already been mentioned.
Like I said, I was aware it was possible to access the apps through the finder, but the question revolved around how to recover the quick launch app icons for certain vanished apps.
Wow, kind of a snotty response to someone who was taking their own time to offer help. Whether you thought it was helpful or not, didn't deserve such an unkind retort. Maybe when you realize we all just users here trying to help others like you, who have issues and we don't get anything in return for the countless hours some people here spend offering that assistance, you'll maybe be a little less quick to be critical.
Just sayin.......
Oh and Meg offered the right answer. Put your Apps in Folders, which will create extra space for the apps which have disappeared.

Hi,i want send sms to non ios devices using iMessage from my ipadmini cellular .how?

.Hi,i want send sms to non ios devices using iMessage from my ipadmini cellular .if possible

You can't do that through the Messages app. It can only do iMessage, and iMessages can only be sent to iOS devices.
There are many SMS apps in the app store that may do what you want. Search the app store and try them out.
