IPad not sending iMessages but when sent from iPhone, they show up!

I have no idea what is going on but my iPad won't send iMessages for some reason. I sent them from my iPhone and they work fine, and even show up on the iPad, but it won't send them. I decided to try a "soft reset" (pressing/holding home button and on/off button) and that seems to have completely killed it. It never showed the apple on the screen and just went black and won't come back on. Yay. :-(
Anyone else have a problem like this? Any ideas on how to fix it??

Yes, I was trying to send messages to people I regularly send iMessages to, as recently as only a few hours earlier. When I came in to use the laptop, however, it said there was an IP conflict, so that may have been the problem. I may never know, though, unless the iPad comes back to life.

My Iphone 4 is not sending Imessage, but when I turn it off, I can text? What can I do to fix my phone?

iMessage is separate from texting - SMS/MMS.

I just purchased a new Linksys E2500 router. It will connect to all my other devices, but does not recognize the password when sent from the PowerBook G4.

I just purchased a new Linksys E2500 router. It will connect to all my other devices, but does not recognize the password when sent from the PowerBook G4. When I try it responds that the password is invalid. I have connected my MacBook Pro, iPad and iPod Touch with the same password.

Try putting $ (a dollar sign) in front of the password.

iPhone and iPad use a different way of accessing the server.
I don't know the exact details, but we are using Zarafa instead of Exchange and have the same problem:
iPhone and the likes can connect to Zarafas z-push interface, which is some identical interface to the native Exchange interface, while the desktop e-mail application tries to interface with the web front end (via http) of the server.
These are completely different setups and it depends on the actual installation of the server to get this going.
So, you will most likely need different access parameters for the desktop - and the web mail feature has to be enabled on the Exchange server.
In my opinion using the web mail interface is just silly. On the other hand, the native protocol has less features comparedto the web front end, so you are somehow stuck with sins of the past.
Good luck!

I am getting a message "iPad Not Backed Up" but when I click on "ok", nothing happens. Can't turn it off either because of the lock.

I am getting a message "iPad Not Backed Up". When I click on "ok" on the message, nothing happens - it is locked. Thought turning off the iPad would help but because it is locked, it won't let me slide to power off.

Have you tried plugging the iPad into power and letting it backup over Wi-Fi?
You should be able to reset your iPad.

Ipad not sending email but recieving OK

Hi All
My IPAD is receiving my emails OK, but when it tries to send them it says server not avaiable and puts them into the out box.
My iphone is working fine (sending and recieving) from my email account and IOS settings all seem to be the same.
My email system is also working fine via MS Outlook
Any suggesations as to why IPAD is having problems

On the iPad that's having the issues, try to go into the settings, mail, contacts and calendars. Delete the mail account you are trying to send from. Exit out, go back in and re-add the account and see if that fixes the issue

Picture text not working when sent from iPhone to non iPhone

Since this 6.1 update that I have told everyone not to update. My phone has been doing strange things and I have called and talked to apple and they said they have not heard anything about it. First off, when I try to send a picture text to someone that does not have an iPhone such as an android they either a) can't open it or b) it opens as a video and flashes off. They had no problems before this update. So today my iMessage stopped working. I deletes the messages I had and sent a test text to iPhone friends and it started working. I also went I to settings and added my email to iMessage. In doing this it got me to thinking that if this changed by itself maybe it had something to do with the SMS. Which is turned on already. I turned off iMessage and sent picture text to non iPhone and it worked. I don't want to have to turn off and no all the time anyone else had this problems?

Hi Steve,
I have tried to export to epub 2 and 3. The video is MP4 (h264). It was working just fine on all devices now I can't seem to get any video to export and work.
Pretty sure it all stopped working after the Yosemite upgrade on the Mac or iOS 8 on devices. Or maybe both.
Oddly, it plays in iBooks on my mac, just not on the iPad or iPhone.
I've also tried to just export a couple of short test epubs with vids in different formats but get the same result....not working.

I get completely blank msgs when sent from iphone. Suggestions?

It has worked great until someone with a phone tried to send me a message. All I get is completely blank messages except for "from" & "to" fields. I can text her from my old flip phone and she gets the messages I send from Firefox.

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

Photo Stream not sending photo's to PC from iPhone 4

Recently I noticed that I got an error message that the photo stream on my pc had quit working. I reboted the pc and haven't seen the message since. But yesterday I noticed that photo stream on the iphone isn't sending photo's to my pc like it used to. I'm running Windows 7 home premium.
Thank you

Well, should anyone else have a similar problem..... The problem I was having was due to a program called "Little Snitch" which was blocking Photo Stream from sending or receiving data on my Mac...... Issue resolved!

I can send emojis but when i receive them it shows up just as an empty speech bubble. How can I fix this?

Emojis won't sh up on a received text on my 5c

You don't.
There is no set standard for how emojis are coded and sent.
It varies by OS or app used.

Hi Mario,,,,
I tried everything in your reply,,, thank you again,, I had done that once before and all was working great,,
I have just now tried the Reinstall via iTunes, about 20 into the download, the iTunes logo on the phone disappeared, and the Apple Logo appeared again,,, I waited until the iTunes stated that the download had finished, and the install was in progress,,,
Nothing happened, still the Apple Logo was visual on the screen, iTunes never recognised the phone which it was on my iTunes account previously,,,
Still just a bunch of lines, maybe 5 or 6 so small writing,, I personally can not read what it is telling me, someone said it reads, incorrect shutdown,,,????????
Please advise,???
I am now at a loss,,, I really became excited when I saw the iTunes icon after putting the phone into restore,,,???
Thank you again

All of a sudden this morning my iphone will not send imessages from my phone number but only from my email address. When I go to the settings for my imessages to choose where they are coming from my phone number is greyed out....Is there a way to fix this

All of a sudden this morning my iphone will not send imessages from my phone....

Hi Chas869,
Hmm, that is strange that your phone number is greyed out. There are a few things that we can try. First would be to turn iMessages off, then back on. See if you are able to select your phone number. Then if that doesn't work, turn iMessages back off, then reset the network settings....settings>general>reset>reset network settings, this will reboot the phone. Don't worry, it won't delete anything from the phone, it simulates a battery pull. Once the device comes back on, then turn iMessages back on. Keep us posted if that works!

Iphone 6 not sending imessage from phone number

I got my iPhone 6 yesterday and this morning whenever I try to use iMessage it gets sent from my icloud address rather than my phone number. I went into settings > messages and tried turning imessage on and off, which did not work. I also tried just selecting my phone number instead of the email addresses listed and the messages do not send. Signing in and out of my apple account doesn't solve any issues either. Using imessage on my macbook uses just my icloud, too. Any tips?

SO....The same issue arose AGAIN!!! So I did the HARD RESET, and I realized..... to avoid this from ever happening in the future....
This is the only thing that fixed it I was so stumped! Thank you, I had previously tried just a standard restart , also signing in and out of imessage and apple id several times.... but the hard power down is the only thing that fixed the problem. HighFive
AFTER HARD RESET (PRESSIN THE TOP AND LOWER BUTTONS AS SAME TIME)
POWER ON
AND APPLE IMESSAGE WINDOW WILL POP UP AND ASK IF YOU WANT TO USE YOUR EMAIL WITH YOUR IMESSAGE, IT WILL ASK FOR YOUR APPLE ID.....
SELECT CANCEL!!! DO NOT PUT YOUR PASSWORD IN BECAUSE IT WILL THEN SET YOU UP FOR EMAIL TO BE USED FOR YOUR IMESSAGE, IF YOU CANCEL THAT WINDOW, IT WILL ONLY USE YOUR PHONE NUMBER, AND WHEN YOU ARE NOT AVAIL FOR IMESSAGE IT WILL SEND THE MSG VIA TEXT INSTEAD OF IMSG OR EMAIL...THIS IS THE BEST SOLUTION AND SINCE I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEM GETTING OR RECIEVING IMESSAGE
Good Luck! Happy iPhoning

I don't know why but for some reason my phone will let me send iMessages but it won't let me send texts.
