Iphone 5C will not sent iMessage to another Iphone user who has not installed ios7

I have found that if I am trying to send an imessage to another Iphone user who has not upgraded to ios7, the messages will appear in my history as "sending". I deleted that contact history and tried to send another text and it worked as it was sending as a "green message" rather than a "blue message".  Is there a way to work around this?

Thanks for the answer.  Disabling iMessage does work, but it's a bit clunky to have to do that every time I want to message him.  Many of my other contacts have iPhones and I like the iMessage feature.
He's had the same number for years and I only recently have had this issue, he doesn't have iMessage on any device, he only has an iPod nano.  I wonder what happened that all of a sudden it has defaulted to iMessage for him.
Any other ideas?

  • How to get a list of Local Users who has not logged in for 3 months or around 90 days

    hi
    i found this thread to pull out a list of local users
    Retrieve all local user accounts information on remote computers (PowerShell)
    however, i need to filter out users who has not logged in for 3 months or around 90 days, how can i do further filtering?
    i understand dsquery has an -inactive <xweeks> , however i am doing it for local accounts

    $ErrorActionPreference = "silentlycontinue"
    $([ADSI]"WinNT://$env:COMPUTERNAME").Children | where {$_.SchemaClassName -eq 'user' -and $_.lastLogin -gt (Get-Date).AddDays(-90)} | ft name,lastlogin
    using the sample from the link extendend with the 90 days criteria, the erroraction preference surpresses the errors you get for accounts with no lastlogon value (guest being a typical one)

  • Building a Basic Runbook to disable a Active Directory User who has not logged in for 90 days.

    I am new to Orchestrator.  I am using Orchestrator 2012 R2 on a Hyper-V running Server 2008.  I have been trying to set up a Runbook to sweep AD for user accounts that have not logged in for 90 days and have those accounts automatically disabled
    and moved to another OU.  However, I would be happy just to have the account just be disabled.  If you need any more info or I have posted in the wrong forum, please let me know.  
    Thanks

  • My iPhone 4 sending a iMessage to another iPhone user, the message will send then says not delieverd? So I have to send it as a normal text message .

    Hey! So I'm having a problem with sending an IMessage to another iPhone user and they are having the same problem. The problem is; is that I send a message to them it will attempt to send then will say under the message that it was not delivered? So I send it as a normal text message. Weird part is that we both have full service and have the phone bills paid. Lol

    There is an earlier thread that was answered by an Apple employee that states they are seeing the iMessage and Facetime servers are down. It is unknown when they will return, however it generally is not an extended period of time.

    I'm sorry but your post doesn't make much sense in English. You may want to try posting again in your native language.

    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

  • Hi, May I ask... If I buy iphone from apple store, will I have to pay another taxes if I'm not in US?

    Hi, May I ask... If I buy iphone from apple store, will I have to pay another taxes if I'm not in US? I'm from Indonesia.... THX

    If you do not have a US billing and shipping address, you can NOT purchase an iPhone from the US Apple web site, if that's what you're asking.
    If you are physically in the US, you need to know that #1. Unlocked iPhone 4S will not be available for purchase until some time in November. #2. The warranty is NOT international. If it breaks, you will not be able to get it serviced anywhere but in the US.
    As for taxes, you will have to pay sales tax in the US. As far as any duties on the phone are concerned when you take it home, you'll have to inquire of your government for the answer to that.

  • HT3529 Why when i send an imessage to another iphone user it sometimes sends as atxt message and the other person doesnt end up getting the message?

    Sometimes when i send an imessage to another iphone user it comes out as a txt message. I was just wandering why this happens and sometimes when it does the message is never sent to the person.

    You can have a separate AppleID only for iMessage and keep using the other one for iTunes.
    Just change the AppleID used for iMessage in Settings > Messages > Receive At
