HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Try resetting your iPhone.
From the Home screen choose Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.
All your preferences are reset, but no data or media is deleted.

Skype iPhone 4 app shows that SMS message fails but still charges me. What's up with that?
I find myself re-sending the same message and paying twice as much. Not good

Hello HugoB,
Thank you for your post.
When you first send a mesage, the status should be shown as Sent. When we receive the delivery notification (Delivered or Failed) from the recipient's carrier, we will display it in your Skype client. However, if we do not receive any confirmation, we retry sending your message for up to 24 hours after which we will automatically refund you if a confirmation is still not received or if the message status from the operator indicates a failure.
If message sending used to work but suddenly stopped, or if the status indicates Delivered but the message was not received, please read this post for how to help us fix your problem:

All of a sudden I can't send or receive messages on iPad. Iphone is working fine. It gives me "message failed to send" and is green instead of blue. The only thing I have done differently is turn iCloud on in my iPhone.

cant receive or send messages on my iPad. Keep getting "message failed to send" and it is green instead of blue. This happened after I turned on iCloud on my iPhone. Would that have anything to do with this problem? It's like its not sincing to my phone but I can send & receive emails ok.

iOS 7.1.2, huh? It MAY be having some trouble with the iOS 8.x devices and latest iCloud features. Although it meets the minimum system requirements, it does not meet the recommended ones - System requirements for iCloud - Apple Support
You should try Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support - this is generally the first step in troubleshooting, all devices - for all time
Message Colors
Blue is iMessage (Apple service)
Green is SMS (Carrier service)
What happens when you use your iPad similarly? (what iPad model & iOS version)
As a last resort*, Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support - *this document tells that all your data will be lost but provides steps to back-up (Before section) then restore your data (Restore section #4)

I'm trying to sync my iPhone4s, but everytime iTunes tries to sync, I get a message "This iPhone cannot sync because the sync session failed to start." I've tried restoring my phone, and all my software is up to date. How do I fix it?!

Try to connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:

Error message "Failed to load book because the requested resource is missing" on iPhone

I purchased 3 books in itunes to read on my iphone using ibooks. I have synced and I can see the books in my iBooks bookshelf, but when I try to open them I get an error message "Failed to load book because the requested resource is missing". I have tried opening the book again, deleting and resyncing but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

I was having the same probem.
I found success when I shut my iphone down all the way (press and hold power button then "slide to power off")
then started it back up. My phone was linked to my computer at the time, so it went through the sync - not sure if that is important. But, I can now read my books!
Good luck

Whenever i try and send an imessage to someone that has an iphone it gets stuck at times and won't go through. I then have to send it as a basic text and then it will respond message failed to send what should i do when it does this i need help

The use of iMessage depends on both the sender and the receiver having an active data connection. If either of the two connections are interrupted, the message can fail. The sending of an iMessage differs from the sending of an SMS, and if you are having SMS failures, that would be a carrier concern.

My iphone 4 says call failed and message failed?

It was locked to orange but just had it unlocked to work on my T-mobile sim. Had this issue even before I got it unlocked. I have just bought this off of somebody and it keeps saying call failed/call ended just after I have dialled and then when I try to send a message it says message failed, however, I can get onto the internet using my signal alone and not connecting to Wi-fi. Incredibly confused as to why this isnt working. I have full signal. Done a full restore on 2 different computers still with no result. Really at the end of my tether with this, someone please help.
Operating system 4.3.5
Thanks

I faced similar issue where I was getting signal, able to receive calls, use all data services but everytime i went to make a call it said "Call Failed"
You need to try to go to Settings>>Phone>>>Show My Caller ID>> Ensure it is On.
Even if it appears on try switching off and on.
Mine was not allowing to switch off and on but something I did worked and then able to make calls.
Also try Settings>>>General>>>Reset>>Rest All Settings
I faced issue of not being able to make calls after switching my sim card from postpaid to prepaid. First it dint recognise the sim at all then on pluggin in to itunes i was able to activate and atleast receive calls, use all data only everytime i tried makinng a call it said call failed.
When i restored to factory settings it worked. However on restoring my backup i faced the same issue.
Apple local support was most unhelpful saying that i had to forget my data and work with a new phone without contacts, apps, etc

I have a new iPhone 5 and receive the following message when texting some people within my contacts. Message sent using invalid number of digits please resend using 10 digit number or valid short code Msg:2114

I have a new iPhone 5 and receive the following message when texting some people within my contacts. Message sent using invalid number of digits please resend using 10 digit number or valid short code Msg:2114. Online I found a discussion that stated i needed to delete contact and re-add. I have done that to no avail. Any ideas?

I had the same issue with the iPhone 6 and tried everything! I now understand that at some point I stored a number for a contact without including the area code and sent a text message. So, to correct the issue, you must literally "erase" all references to the contact, not just the number. Deleting the contact and entering a new one is not enough because the iPhone stores references to that number in multiple places. The steps below worked and are very simple:
1) On the contact screen, delete everything stored for that number. You can't just edit the contact to fix the problem, so write down or record the info somewhere before you complete this step. Choose edit and then select DELETE to eliminate the entire contact which means home, work, cell, email address, etc.
2) Delete the entire string of messages you sent to that number. That's every single message...
3) Now delete the entire string of invalid 2114 messages you received after your text(s) failed.
4) Finaly, remove the contact from FAVORITES if you saved it that way.
5) To validate that all this worked, simply go to the keypad or contact screen and enter the number associated with the contact to verify successful removal. I used the keypad and dialed to confirm. If the contact number still shows up, you need to go back and recheck your steps. Trust me, I had to do this a few times.
Several posts suggested that you should reset and turn off your phone. After following these steps, it was not necessary for me to reset or turn off my device.
is there a much faster way to achieve the same results? Probably, but this was safe for an iPhone novice and may help you avoid inadvertently deleting other contacts or replacing factory settings that you need.

IPhone keeps sending the same text message multiple times in a row.

My iphone (4s) keeps sending people the same text message multiple times (2-4) a few seconds inbetween. Sometimes it will tell me that there the message failed, but they still recieve it multiple times. I've already tried deleting the message tread and reset network settings. Nobody who has an iphone has said anything to me about it yet, only people with android.

It's a carrier issue. I have AT&T and had this issue with my friend (who had an Android) and my mother (who had a feature phone). Both of them have Verizon for service and I'm thinking the issue was on Verizon's end. They both just dealt with it as we tried all sorts of things to get this sorted out (other than contacting Verizon directly) and had no luck.
They've both switched to iPhones so it's a moot point for us now, at least.

Whenever I start my iPhone or iPad I get a message:'Password required/Enter the password for the CardDAV account. Can someone tell me what the CardDAV is and how to eliminate the message?

Each time I start iPhone or iPad I get a message: 'Password required/ Enter the password for the CardDAV account'. Can anyone tell me what that is about and how to eliminate.
Also this began happening the same time my Yahoo mail account was hacked which resulted in my mail program (on mini) to fail. It crashes on startup.
Thanks

Thanks Steve that did it on my iPad. It was the yahoo account. Im beginning to think that Yahoo is dangerous. It was the hacking of my Yahoo mail account that started these problems. My mail account on my mini still does not work. I posted the problem here and got real professional advice but to no avail it still doesnt work and I cant re-install the OS because Im in China and their Great firewall keeps the net too slow.

In iBooks I keep getting the message failed to load resource is missing HELP!!!

In iBooks I keep getting the message failed to load because the requested resource is missing, tried deleting but still happens I can open it on my iPhone 5, but not on my iPad mini, please HELP!!!

Okay I figured out my problem. When you use the "add another email" option in FaceTime (or iMessage now), it associates that email address with your Apple ID account that you logged in under.
The Apple ID that I'm using for FaceTime isn't the same as the one iMessage defaulted to. I didn't noticed that. Once I switched iMessage to use my other Apple ID, it let me register. What's odd though is that iMessage doesn't recognize my email address as valid when I try to send myself a test message. When I logged out and into a different Apple ID, it did recognize it as registered though. Odd.
So Basically make sure the email address you are trying to register isn't listed as an alternate email address (or primary) on another Apple ID account.

"Message Failed To Send," but it actually sends it 6 times!

This started happening this morning. Whenever I try to send a text, whether it be a regular text or iMessage, I keep getting a message saying "Message Failed To Send," and then it has a red exclamation point by the message and it says "Not Delivered." If that's not annoying enough, the recipients are actually receiving the message 6 times! Is anyone else having this issue? I'm using a [brand new] iPhone 5S on AT&T service, if that matters. I'm about to throw this iPhone at the wall... HELP!

Throwing it at the wall will certainly stop it from sending the message six times, along with everything else. First thing to do is reset the phone, following the procedure outlined below.
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

Why do I keep getting a " message failed" message when I try to send text messages or iMessages?

IOften times I'll get a " message failed" message while trying to send text or iMessages to friends. The only way it'll eventually send is if I dekete tge entire message thread. Any way I can fix this problem on my iPhone 6 plus? Thanks

HI,
for solvingthis problem try these ways:
1st try To restart your iPhone , by holding the home and power button together
if it doesnt works try this: SETTING ~> GENERAL ~> RESET ~> RESET NETWORK SETTINGS.
I Hope it works
