Iphone 3GS iMessage error

Hi there,
My problem is that iphone does not receive imessages. My iphone number is registered so is the icloud email address.
If I send imessages to myself or someone else from ipad or imac, these messages are sent properly. Ipad and imac too receive the sent message but the phone does not get the message. If I send a message to myself from my iphone to my phone number, it is sent but neither ipad nor imac receives the message.
If I send a message from my iphone to a registered email address, this message is not sent. The setup is the same on all three devices but I can not get and can not receive messages sent from/to my iphone. I tried to reset all settings and reset network settings without success.
If I send a message from ipad to my registered phone number, imac receives it but imac does not.
What can be the problem? How can this be solved?
thanks for your help,

Be sure you do not turn on Restrictions in your device.
Turn off Show Subject in Settings>>Message
Reset the Network Setting, which makes your phone to forget every networks and passwords that you connected your phone to.
to reset the Network Settings just go to Settings - General - Reset (at the bottom) - Reset Network Settings.
I remember when I reset the Network Settings, i turned off iMessages. I connected to my home Wi-Fi and surfed the web for a little while. Sent some regular SMS messages, and about 10min later, I turned on iMessages again and sent a text to a friend with an iPhone and it started working as iMessage! Baloons finally became blue.

    I cant' restore my iPhone 3GS. Error 37. Anyone has any suggestions?

    I had a similar issue with my Daughter's 3GS - I tried restoring it with "Restore Mode" and it would not do it. A quick search led me to MacRumors.com where I found an article on restoring your device via DFU Mode. It takes awhile to do it, but it definitely fixed my issue.
    Good luck!

    How to restore iPhone 3gs with error code 1015 ??

    The only advice we can give is to try and put it into DFU mode and restore. If that doesn't fix it, buy a new phone.
    There is a reason that Jailbreaking isn't supported. You have just been kicked in the donkey by it.

  • ITunes 10.5/iPhone 3Gs Connection Errors after upgrade

    I had quite a bit of trouble upgrading iTunes from 10.1x to 10.5. I had to remove ALL Apple products/files/registry entries. After I did this, I ran the installer file (64bit one) directly from the iTunes site. It looked as of everything installed EXCEPT one program installed partially then rolled back the installation of that particular program. The rest of iTunes 10.5 installed with no problems. When I tried to connect my iPhone 3Gs, I received the following error:
    I looked in my control panel and noticed Apple Mobile Device Support is missing now. I assume this the the application that was 'rolled back'. I followed the instructions in the error listed above and the exact same thing happens again.  Here is a bit of background on what I have:

    This is what I did so far:
    Backup up my iPhone before all this started (2 days ago)
    Imaged my drive just in case -ALWAYS have backups
    Uninstalled ALL Apple products from my PC via the Windows Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs
    Cleaned the Registry of all Apple products that I could regognize
    Deleted ALL Apple folders from drive
    Checked to see if any Apple service was running (none were left)
    Rebooted my PC
    Scanned my entire HDD and Registry for all traces of Apple products (none found)
    Went to the official iTunes 10.5 site and 'ran' the installed directly from there.
    All went well till the one program 'rolled back' once again.
    Connected my iPhone and the error listed above remains.
    Ran Apple Updater and found that Safari and QuickTime
    Installed Safari and QuickTime on a chance that it may help fix or repair something that I may have missed
    Cursed/Yelled/Screamed/Cried/Took a chill pill and wrote this plea for help
    This may be a bit more info than most want to see, but on the chance the Apple Support personnel actually look at this post, I want them to see the full details. I work in the IT field, so complex answers are ok to post. I am willing to try just about anything at this point. I appreciate any replies and will give more details as requested that involve this issue.

    This is an update to my original post...
    I was able to install iTune 10.5 finally, but Apple Mobile Device Support will still not install (update actually). I restored my PC to an earlier state (before I first tried to install 10.5 the first time) and now my older version will not start since my iTunes library has been upgraded to the 10.5 format. I am really stuck here. I really want to get me music back since I have nearly 30 Gbs of music and movies I have burned from CDs. That does not even include my iTunes online purchases that I can easily revover/re-download.

  • IPhone 3GS gets error when syncing after installing ios6

    I just updated my iPhone 3GS to ios6, and it appears to have added a ton of Gigs to the phone. I've been trying to take apps and other things off the phone, but I'm still over my limit. And, after several syncs, I got the following error message:
    The iPhone "(name of my phone)" cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (1156).
    Anyone have a solution? I'm not eligible for an upgrade until next spring because the 4S I purchased last fall was stolen and never recovered. Right after I left the store. Sigh. So I'm stuck with this one for now. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Restore your device as NEW (not from backup).  If that doesn't work, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.

  • TS3694 i can't restore my iphone 3gs an error occurred 1015

    i can't restore my iphone 3gs and there's an error occurred code (1015)can you help me?

    Your phone was jailbroken. You can not get help here.
    Jailbreaking voids the warranty and forfeits all rights to support here or from Apple.

  • IPhone 3GS - download error tap to retry

    I know it's been asked before but I haven't found an answer that works yet.
    I have an iPhone 3GS running IOS 6.1.3 connected to my iTunes account with a valid an active iTunes Match subscription.  This has been working perfectly until the last couple of days.
    Now when I try to download a song it tells me download error, tap to retry.  This happens on every song I try to download, whether a purchased one or from my match account.
    I also have an iPad 4 running IOS 7.0.4 and this can download songs fine connected to the same WiFi network so it obviously isn't a problem with my network or with my account.
    Has something changed recently making the iPhone 3GS incompatible with iTunes? 
    I have hard reset the phone to see if this made a difference but nothing has changed.  The song and playlist details download fine from match but the track itself doesn't.
    Any help would be appreciated

    Is this on Wi-Fi or Cellular data?
    What happens when you switch from one to the other?
    Has the device been restarted?
    What about Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings?

  • My iPhone 3GS gives error 1603 when updating/restoring

    I use iphone 3GS...I have been using the ios 4.3.3 all this while. Now, the other day I tried to update to ios 5.0.1 and it gives the itunes error 1603. I have tried every possible suggestion I could get from the forum and apple help site but seems like I can't by pass the error. I finally passed the iphone to the telco, they even failed to update or restore my iphone. Please help me. Tell me what to do!

    My 3GS phone is now a brick thanks to itunes!
    After being forced to upgrade my iOs because I of an app I decided to upgrade to iOs 5.
    The phone is in recovery mode but every time I tried it
    Now it is a brick that is going to the pollution pile.
    So I am in the Apple Brick club.
    Yes I did the typical, Win XP reboot a few times. Changed USB port. Tried different PC.
    I have administrator access on my computer.
    The phone is out of warranty. Is Apple going to charge me for something that their software did?
    I have a copy of the ipsw but have no way of verifying whether the backup file is corrupt.

  • Order your iPhone 3Gs - Server Error FIX!

    If you are trying to order a iPhone 3Gs (or 3G) and are getting an error:
    "We experienced an error in processing your request. Please try again later."
    it is probably due to a shared texting feature on your AT&T plan. Go to wireless.att.com, remove it, order your iPhone, select no texting, and then replace the texting plan from AT&T's website.
    I just did it and was able to order a 32GB White iPhone. Before, I tried 20 times with no luck.
    Thanks to GeorgeS77 earlier post for the info:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2031027&tstart=2

    I got this error, and then tried my preorder through the AT&T website:
    http://www.wireless.att.com/iphone/
    This worked for me and I didn't have to drop my shared text plan and add it back. For whatever reason the AT&T site handles the issue while the Apple one does not.
    From what I could tell there is no difference between preordering here vs on the Apple site: both show delivery for June 19.

  • IPhone 3Gs Activation error (original owner)

    I have an iPhone 3gs and my Grandmother (who was the original owner) took it to ATT and had them unlock it so I could use it with a different company but as we were leaving the store the ATT guy said he forgot to finish unlocking it but it was simple to do so he'd send us an email with instructions. I activated it and used it on straight talk for a few months till I realized it wouldnt send picture messages so I decided to pull up the email and finish activavating it so the email told me to take my sim card out, back up the phone then factory reset it to compleate the unlock but now that I try to start it back up it says activation error, activation request could not be completed. I have my sim card in it that I've used with this phone for a few months and still nothing. I live 8 hours away from where the ATT store is we had it unlocked so I cant go back there, and I only have this phone so I cant make any calls to anyone for help so WHAT DO I DO?!

    Same problem! it is a problem with the apple server at the moment,we just have to wait and keep trying.Too bad it is not covered by warranty anymore.

  • How to restore iPhone 3gs with error code 21

    I have an Iphone 3GS. I replaced the battery and digitizer. When I plug in to Itunes the Iphone wants to "restore", but I recieve an error code 21, and it will not "restore.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you,
    Peter

    Peter,
    In the past, I have had some devices show that error but I was able to simply hard reset the device and it booted fine. 
    Was the phone jailbroken before?  Also, I would make sure you are attempting the restore in DFU mode versus Recovery mode.  It sounds like it is having a conflict with the baseband which is why the device is not allowing itself to boot.  You might also try using TinyUmbrella to fix recovery. 
    If you continue having issues, let me know.  Also let me know if you are using PC or Mac and which OS you are running. 
    Let me know how it goes!  If it doesn't work I may have a few other tricks up my sleeve.
