IPad 4 Gen - Messages -  "Send" is grayed out.

All of a sudden the "Send" in Messages is grayed out. I have tried to restart and that hasn't worked. Anyone have any suggestions?

Make sure that you are not typing in the subject field. The best way to do that is to go to Settings>Messages>Show Subject Field>Off. Once you turn it off, you cannot accidentally type in it. Also make sure that you are trying to text with another iOS device user that is already registered and set up to use Messages on their device.

  • Can't send text message--Send button "grayed out"

    When texting about 70% of the time the send button is grayed out. I've checked to make sure the recipients phone # has the area code.
    I have to retype the message several times and with no rhyme or reason that I can discern it's finally sendable. I've reset the phone
    and sometimes that works. I called  the genious line and was told basically "it's a bug" --not a great answer. Same thing happened on my 3gs
    Any thoughts on the matter?

    My iphone 4 does the same thing. I keep exiting text messages and then reopening and typing the first letter of my text to see if the send icon will whiten from the grey. Really a pain and waste of time. I thought I would look around here for a solution before making appt with the apple store.

  • ICloud email won't send (it tries to send and then freezes, send button grayed out)

    I can recieve email just fine. I can draft an email just fine. But it won't send.  When I hit the send button, the email window goes away and a message box appears and disappears so fast I can't read it.  The email window reapears with the "send" button grayed out.  Once this happens, I can't close the email window.  I have to quit mail.  When I open mail back up, the email will still be there and I can close it.  The send button is no longer grayed out, but if I hit send, the same thing happens (i.e., screen flashes and the send button is grayed out).
    I've tried deleting the acouunt and reforming it.  Didn't help.  I checked to see that my outgoing server is "iCloud" and that it send on port 993 and the SSL check box is checked. 
    Any ideas?

    I'm having the exact same problem on one of my Macs but no the other.
    Did you ever get this resolved?

    iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
    Symptoms
    In rare instances, the setting to turn on Wi-Fi on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch may appear grayed out or dim. You may see the following when you tap Settings > Wi-Fi.
    If this occurs, you can't turn Wi-Fi on, and when you try to turn Wi-Fi on, your device won't respond. If you're using iOS 7, Wi-Fi may appear to turn on and off in Control Center, but Wi-Fi won't respond.
    Resolution
    Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
    Restart your iOS device.
    Make sure that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
    Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
    Make sure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
    If you still can't turn Wi-Fi on, please contact Apple for support and service options. If you can turn Wi-Fi on but are experiencing other issues with Wi-Fi, please see these steps.

  • Sender option grayed out in IDOC Adapter PI 7.1

    Hi All,
    I have heard of IDOC packaging in the PI 7.1 for which we need to create a sender channel in XI and sender agreement.
    but the idoc adapter has the sender selection grayed out. Is there any other configuration which needs to be done.
    Rgds
    Aditya

    Hi,
    yes you have missed something - exactly what i am not able to guess.........just check whether the SAP BASIS 7.10 component was correctly deployed in your PI 7.1 system because without EHP1 also, at least you should be able to configure sender IDOC adapter............
    maybe you need to do the readiness check of your PI 7.1 system again.........try restarting your PI server completely and then check if there is any error in the startup logs.........if there is no error, then again try to configure sender IDOC comm channel in ID.

    "iMessage allows users to send texts, photos, videos, contact information, and group messages over Wi-Fi or 3G to other iOS 5 users, thus providing an alternative to standard SMS messaging for all users with devices running iOS 5."
    This is what it is and what it does. You both have to have iOS 5 installed on your supported device. If that's not what your setup is, then that's your answer.

  • Yosemite, messages, preferences are grayed out. It opens but the window for messages is blank.

    Yosemite, messages, preferences are grayed out. It opens but the window for messages is blank. Can't click on anything.

    Hi,
    You appear to have the wrong end of the stick as they say.
    Just starting your computer needs certain Fonts to be present to display the text you are likely to see.
    Most of those needed to do this are in the Hard Drive icon/System/Library/Fonts.
    Some apps require different Fonts  and in the case of Messages this is AppleGothic (all one word) and is found in Hard Drive/Library/Fonts.
    You would normally use the Apple App called Font Book to check these Fonts are working properly.
    Prior to the Yosemite version of Messages (still called Messages 8 like th Mavericks version) you could change the Font use in the actual Messages in the app.
    On a Character or word or Sentence basis there was the Format Menu.
    There was also a Pane in th Preferences called Messages that let you choice the Font, the colour of the text and the  colour of the balloons for Out going Messages and also Overriding the incoming ones.
    You can no longer do this as the Preferences Pane and the Format Menu have gone.

  • Send button grayed out after Snow Leopard

    Install was successful. I followed the instructions for changes to mail to enable sending and receiving. Did tests on all mail accounts and mail sent. Now, when I go to new message, the send button is grayed out and I can't proceed. Anyone have a fix?

    Ernie,
    Not sure what happened as everything tested just fine after installation. But I did go back into preferences to find that the outgoing SMTP had switched to "none." I changed that and it now works. Thank you for your help.

  • Send button grayed out

    Hi,
    I went to respond to an email today in Apple's Mail program and am not able to send the email. I am using my mobileme account. Basically I hit "Reply", write my email, and the go to press "Send" but the button is grayed out and inactive. I have never experienced this before so I am a bit puzzled. Mail is receiving emails still and is saving drafts locally that are syncing online so it does not appear to be a connection issue.

    OK...I believe I have resolved the issue. My Mobileme SMTP server info disappeared. What would cause this information to disappear overnight?

  • After upgrade to 10.6.2 the" entire message" search option grayed out

    Just upgraded to t10.6.2 but now in the mail when searching for a mail the entire mail search option is not available anymore it is there but it is grayed out it can not be activated. That was the beauty if mail.
    on the other hand the To do button now works again
    any idea

    You have not said, but I would guess you are using an IMAP account? If so, then might it be that the selection in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced has gotten changed to not keep copies of messages (and/or attachments) for Offline Viewing? The Entire Mail search will be grayed out when copies of the messages are not stored locally.

  • 3rd Gen ipod touch wifi grayed out

    So i went to Univeral studios, and I got super soaked throughout the whole day until 8pm. I had my ipod in my bag and i hadnt taken it out until i got home. And when i got home my wifi disappeared and so i checked my laptop and ps3 to see if it had wifi and it did except for my ipod. My ipod didnt find an servers so i tried resetting it. After that, the wifi settings happened to be disabled and said NO WIFI. I had restored it on my laptop 3 times and resetted to its factory settings four times and resetted the network settings twice. I even erased all content and settings and set it up as a new ipod on my laptop, but it still said no WIFI and now i don't know what to do now . Please help me out.

    See:
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    It is frequently a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
    I would also try placing the iPod in a bag of uncooked rice for a couple of days to ensure the iPod is dry.

    I think you are confusing things here.
    While you can change the port used for submission from your mail clients to your mail server, you cannot (should not) change the outgoing port for your smtp server. All mail servers expect incoming traffic on port 25, thus using port 587 will not get your mail delivered (it will go through your firewall, but that's about it).
    If your mail server (not client) is behind a firewall with port 25 blocked, there is no way it can send mail to outside domains. So either get your ISP to let port 25 through for your server or use your ISP's smpt server to send mail (this can be done directly, or through your mail server relaying through your ISPs server).

  • I am trying to access my usage but iPad not responding.  Send me back out to the settings app.  Any suggestions? iPad

    Tried reset home and on together with no luck, tried standard off no luck and new update double tap to close does not work for diddley.

    OK. That's what I thought you meant, but the terminology was confusing to me. I get it now.
    Did you try going to the Videos App, tap on Movies or TV  shows - whichever one you want to delete, then tap the Edit button in the upper right corner. All of the videos will have an X in the upper left corner of their icons. Tap on that X to delete that movie or TV Show. Tap the Done button when you are finished.
    However, you have a problem that you need to fix. Your Settings app is crashing (taking you back to the home screen when you try to use it) and that's not a good thing. You need to be able to use the settings app. Quitting the apps and rebooting didn't help?

  • "Hide Related Messages" button shouldn't be grayed out

    New iMac, OS X Lion, Mail 5.1, everything migrated over from older iMac running Snow Leopard
    Getting used to the way Lion handles some things in Mail has been a challenge for one of my coworkers. But this one has me stumped.
    Normally, when you select a message that is part of a Conversation, you can click on the "Hide Related Messages" button to look at just the message you have selected. But, for this person, the "Hide Related Messages" button is grayed out - even when a message that's part of a conversation with multiple messages is selected. They really want to be able to look at their messages one at a time without seeing every message tied to it as well.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Anyone?
