IOS 6 update - iMessage not working

Anyone else having trouble with the iMessage after updating to iOS 6?
I updating Wednesday morning and after my bf updated too I can't send iMessage to him. It doesn't come up delivered and he doesn't receive them. Can anyone help me?
Another update needed to fix this apple!!!

I got mine to work. I rebooted the phone, deleted the previous string of messages from my GF, went in through contacts, selected her again, sent her a message... the first went out as a text then she responded and iMessage is working again.
You may not have to delete the string. I just did it to break and reset the link.
Hope this helps.

  • After iOS 5 update, speaker not working

    I updated to i05s last night and tried to make a call this morning and could not hear out of the ear speaker. The "speaker-phone" feature works, but that's the only way I can hear because I can't hear anything when I hold the phone to my ear.

    Hi Guys,  I FIXED IT!!!!
    I have post eariler on another forum and I have the same problem, I have tried all the things listed here and nothing was perminant in fixing this painful iphone hating problem.... and failed.  But I need to happily say that I now have the fix!!!!  This worked for me and I fixed it by myself so you don't need to go to apple or service centre or anything.
    Ok I like so many of you here truly believed this was as IO5 issue as it only dropped the sound on the speakers once that IO5 update came along.  I tried a bunch of reset, reboots, home clicks, lock and unlocks, to fix this and all failed.  some worked for an hour but then failed.  hours of my life that I will never get back.   but since I have learnt this is not a IO5 problem but a hardware issue! ...  and in paticualar is has to do with your bottom connection.  Your phone is thinking it is docked all the time.
    To fix the no sound problem what you need is...
    1.  a torch
    2.  a tooth brush
    3.  methalated spirits
    4. a butter knife
    Step 1.
    get your torch and shine it down the bottom connection plate to see what kind of dust, sand, hair or anything you have stuck in there.   all that need to be removed!  everything!  it might look clean but still thats ok go to step 2.
    step 2.
    Turn on your music app and put the speakers on!  If your phone is like mine it should not work.  you most probably don't even have the volume display to turn it on but its ok, just do it! and it should still play with no sound.   its important you try and run the speakers as this will show you that it is a hardware problem.
    step 3.
    Dip your tooth brush into some methated sprits.   then at your sink tap the exess metho out of your brush as you just want the brushes to be slightly damp, not soaking wet and then scrub the bottom connetiors on your iphone.  work the brush back and forward in a way that scoops the dirt out of the phone, not just pushing it side to side.
    (As you bushing you should notice the volume bar come back on or off as you scub.   This happened to me and that is how I realised I was on the right track to fixing this problem as I was doing something external that was actually controling when the volume display came on or off.   but once I cleaned it this still didn't fix the problem...)
    Step 4.
    Use the back side of a butter knife (not the sharp side) to gently slide over the connectors on the iphone.  Do this gently as you are only pushing down on the tiny metal contect bars and you should notice the volume display come on again.  slide it back and forward.  Now the area of interest is about 2/3 along the connection plate to the right.   This is the area that has the infomation sent when your iphone thinks its docked.
    This has worked for me and I have not had a problem since I did this 2 weeks ago.   I have since learnt that the new IOS 5 has activated a different part of the bottom conectors.  if you have been using dodgy connectors or unapproved apple cables (as I was)  any damage or hair and dirt on the terminal this is effecting it.  Try it.   just remember if you can do something external to your phone then there lies the problem.
    Hope this works for your phone as it did for mine. 
    Cheers

  • IOS 6 update = Speaker not working properly

    My speaker was fine and I have no reason to believe there are any hardware issues. As soon as I updated my iOS 5.1.1 to the new iOS 6 it stopped working and now I can't listen to music or watch videos on my iPhone unless I insert a headphone!
    What's happened and how can this be resolved?

    Experiencing similar problems with both me and my wife's iPhone 4S's. My phone's speaker was muffled until I played a song, then it seemed to work ok. My wife's will not work at all except for when you adjust sound settings (e.g. changing the alert sound). Then it works only during the "test" and reverts back to its broken state.
    P.S. And yes, I've rebooted both numerous times. This has no obvious affect.

  • IOS 6 update speaker not working?

    Coincidence? I think not.  So many others having the same problem since their update. I can't afford a new phone right now and no longer under warranty. Seems scammy to me. Thanks a lot Apple. I used to be a big supporter. I am so frustrated with this and can't figure out how to go back to last update. I am angry about this

  • IOS 5 - Updating Lyrics Not Working? Bug?

    It appears that if I CHANGE an existing Lyrics embedded   in the meta-data a song, it is not updating in the Music Player of my iPhone 4S. For some reason the old pre-updated lyrics still appear in the music player. I've tried completely deleting the songs on the phone and re-loading them, but the old lyrics still appear on the phone. I've also tried deleting songs completely from iTunes itself as well as my iPhone, resynching without the song, then re-downloading them and putting in new lyrics and re-syncning. And the old lyrics STILL SHOW UP!! Weird.
    My iTunes is using iTunes Match but my phone is NOT - I am hard syncing it to iTunes to update. Also, my iPOD Classic is being updated correctly with the changed lyrics. Since I'm an app programmer and this was driving me crazy, I wrote a quick app that actually displays the embedded lyrics of any song that is playing on the iPhone music player, and in MY app, the lyrics show up correctly, but if I switch over to the music player they are still the old lyrics. Obviously, somehow the Music Player is retaining two sets of embedded lyrics data - what it was when it first loaded and what it was when it changed, and is for some reason displaying the former. I do not see any way to clear this old data on the iPhone.
    Note that I've also tried rebooting the phone, clearing the Music app from memory on the iPhone. rebooting the computer, etc. Nothing works. Also note that this only happens when I CHANGE lyrics on a song with EXISTING lyrics. If I add lyrics to a song that previously did not have any, it updates correctly.
    Can somewhere verify this bug? If you have a song with lyrics already embedded, try adding a word at the end of that song in iTunes and see if it updates the iPhone. Preferable someone will try this who has at least iOS5 installed (hopefully also an iPhone 4S). I just want to see if it's someting in my specific setup or a general bug.
    Thanks in advance for anyone's help on this!
    Tony

    OK - My wife has an iPhone 4 (NOT S) but and has iOS 5.01 installed, but the lyrics DO change on her phone - we just tried. She however is still on iTunes 10.5.0 not 10.5.1 and she does not have iTunes Match.
    So since someone on another forum indicates that this is happening on their iPhone 4, it must be a problem with iTunes 10.5.1 or else something to do with iTunes Match on the computer (not that I only have iTunes Match on my comuter - I do NOT have it on my iPhone 4S - I am hard syncing), or the combination.
    So if are you using iTuns 10.5.1 and / or iTunes Match on you computer, can you test this? BTW - I'm on Windows 7.

  • IMessage not working after iOS 5.1 upgrade! Feedback pls

    iMessage not working after iOS 5.1 upgrade, anybody experiencing this as well? Feedback please......

    You shouldn't have to hard restart and it shouldn't have anything to do with your router.  If anyone else runs into this problem try resetting the network settings on your phone.  All the steps to do this can be found here http://tekshot5.com/ios-5-1-imessage-fix/
    Edit: Some of us don't have the option of resetting our DNS servers.  I run my own for example for caching purposes.

  • Ok so I use an hdmi connector on my iPhone 4S to watch netflix. But after I updated to iOS 7 it will not work my tv doesn't receive a signal. Does anyone have any insure to this please help .!.!.

    Ok so I use an hdmi connector on my iPhone 4S to watch netflix. But after I updated to iOS 7 it will not work my tv doesn't receive a signal. Does anyone have any insure to this please help .!.!.

    The 8 pin Lightning connector can only output 720p and lacks all iPod Out functionality unlike the full iPod Out functionality and 1080p that the 30 pin connector has and I suspect that they are coding iOS 7 specifically for the new devices which have severely reduced abilities and perhaps skipping adding the code needed for 30 pin devices to use their functionality with HDMI, etc.

  • TS1538 Ios 5.1.1 update did not work

    The update did not work.  I downloaded the udpate last night, through ITunes and did the update this afternoon.
    The phone hung during the update, and now only shows the connect to itunes on the screen.  Itunes does not see the phone.
    When I look in the device manager, I see the drives listed in the Other Devices, and there are two of them listed as "Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode)  Tried to update them, but the dirives are no longer on my pc, where Apple said that they should be.
    I am clueless now. 
    The last update had a simular problem.
    This is an IPhone 4

    Then you should try uninstalling iTunes and all of its components as by following this guide: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7, then reinstall iTunes.  This should replace the drivers.  You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful.  Note: uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library, data or your iPhone backup.

  • IMessage not working even after 'fix'

    My iMessage on my iPhone 4 is not working. Phone is updated to most recent update. Sends iMessages to some people but not others and the people who I cannot send to also can't send to me, regardless of being on wifi or mobile network. I have tried the turn off imessage, reset network settings etc but still no improvement. Would be very helpful if anyone could give me some advice?

    Macrumors posted a solution for this.  I used it and it seems to have worked for me.
    Here's what they said:
    1. Turn off iMessage in Settings > Messages
    2. Reset networking settings in Settings > General > Reset
    3. Reenable iMessage in Settings > Messages

  • Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number

    Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number? It keeps going to imessage and then back to text message

    Both you and the recipient have to have active data connections, and both devices have to have iOS 5 or higher to be able to use iMessage. Also, they both have to have iMessage activated. If that is already the case, there is a possiblility that iMessage is down. It has gone up and down several times in the past week. Check this page for status, and if necessary you can report a problem with a link in the lower right corner. http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/
