Iphone ios 5 text messaging

whenever i am texting with someone, i have to press the messages arrow on the top to get the new text the same person sent. before, when i would be texting with someone, the new text would just appear while i had that conversation open. can anyone tell me what i can do to fix this?

Rus, I've had similar issues on my iPhone 5. I was having issues that some people on my contact list just weren't getting my texts. I could text them before I got the iPhone and they received them no problem but now it wouldn't go through. Like you the phone said it went through but they never received them. I could receive their texts and even if I replied to their texts, they didn't receive it. I could call them though. I contacted Verizon and Apple but they we no help. What I figured out on my own was that if I deleted their contact from my address book and added it back in fresh, the problem was solved. It's happened to me with 4 different people that were in my contacts already and I deleted them and added them back in and it works fine now. What I believe was happening was I came from a non-smartphone. To transfer my contacts over I downloaded Verizon's contact transfer app on my old phone and uploaded them to it. When my new iPhone 5 came in I downloaded the same app and used it to transfer my contacts to my new phone. I think some of them got corrupted for some reason during the process. I don't know for sure if this is what was happening but since non of the new contacts that I added in after I got the iPhone have any problems I'm guessing I'm right. My concern still is that I will continue to find people in my address book that wont' get my texts and I just won't know it for sure. Good luck!

I send an email from my Iphone to a friend. My friend receives it on her Iphone, but as text message. She replies and it goes back to my daughter's phone, a completely different email and phone number. Why?

I send an email from my Iphone to a friend. My friend receives it on her Iphone, but as text message. She replies and it goes back to my daughter's phone, a completely different email and phone number. Why?

We went through my friend's phone and my daughter's email and phone number are not in it. I have never given my daughter's iphone number to my friend. Is it something to do with gmail or my apple id? My daughter (14) has been using my computer as her "base" for HER Iphone.
My friend does use her iphone number as an email address as well.
For instance: her phone number might look like this: (493) 305-3958
and her email address would look like this: [email protected]
If I Iphone/email my friend, she receives it as a text message. Then if she replies to that text message, it goes to my daughter's phone and not mine. It's completely crazy! We searched her phone contacts and did not find my daughter's phone number anywhere or attached anywhere to mine. Since when does Iphone emailing wind up in the text messaging area?

After upgrading my ipad to ios 7, text messaging doesn't work

after upgrading my ipad to ios 7, text messaging doesn't work

Assuming you have Messages on. You can try two things the first is a simpler than the second. Go to this site https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/, click on Manage your ID, log in and check if your Apple ID for your Messages and FaceTime apps is the the same as your primary email address. When I went there I saw a message that I should make them the same, for some reason they weren't, after I clicked on the submit to make them the same I haven't had any problem with either. Previously I kept getting signed out of both and had to constantly reenter my password to get them working. Quite a few times they wouldn't connect at all.
The second thing you can try is in Settings - General - Reset, and reset all settings. You will then have to reenter a lot of information such as account user names and passwords but this seemed to correct things for a lot of people. The first option is easier and worked for me so I'd give it a try.

Why is one iphone displaying the text messages of the other 2 iphones in my house?

Why is one iphone displaying the text messages of the other 2 iphones in my house?

That would be imessage and not text message.
As stated by sberman, it's because the users are sharing apple id.
On each devices - settings - message - send&receive- remove or uncheck the apple ids.

Whenever I send a text from my iphone 5 my text messages are appearing on other apple devices in the household.

Whenever I send a text from my iphone 5 my text messages are appearing on other apple devices in the household. ie Iphone 4 and Ipod.
How do I stop this occurring.

You'll have to deselect your phone number on the other devices in Settings/Messages/Receive at/

IPods and my iPhone have linked text messages. I want this stopped

My granddaughters iPods and my iPhone have linked text messages. How do I stop this?

If they have the same Apple ID, that is why it is happening. If the phone is using the phone number, remove the Apple ID from the Send & Receive section on the phone. That way it is only using the phone number. Then check the iPod and you can remove the phone number from that list of Send & Receive as well, so it is only using the Apple ID.

When upgrading iPhones will your text messages move to the new iPhone?

I might have omitted another requirement - sorry.
You need the same number, and you have it. I think it also has to be with the same cellular carrier.

IPhone 4 (iOS 6) text messages disappeared and unable to restore from itunes. There's more...

I decided against upgrading to iOS7 on my iPhone 4, however I did download some of the latest updates for my apps (which I assume were iOS 7 updates). The next day, all my text messages disappeared.
I tried to restore my phone through iTunes, but it refused to sync. And then it refused to restore completely. I thought I might need an upgrade on iTunes to allow it to talk to my phone. However, iTunes refuses to believe there are any new versions available ( I haven't updated it since early 2013, so I'm sure there's been updates).
I have since been unable to back up my phone and now I'm afraid of:
1. Losing all the new text messages and data I've since accumulated in the last few months and been unable to back up.
2. Losing the old text messages and data stored through iTunes on my mac.
Any advice would be appreciated. How can I sync everything back up? Or at least make sure my old data is saved somewhere without risk of erasing and then somehow get my phone to sync with itunes again.
I suspect that the app updates may have brought this on.
Looking forward to your advice!

Iphone 5 ios 6 text messaging problems

I just purchased a new Iphone 5 ios6 Everything seems to have gone smoothly however there is a major problem with test messaging. it is intermittent.
At times I can get or receive a text from either another Iphone or another android or non smart phone. Then the phone cannot receive texts and the phone will indicate a sent text and I can watch the send bar and it verifys in green that the message was sent yet the reciever says no message received. This occurs whether I am using wifi or the verizon network. I have tried this locally in the house over my wifi to my wifes phone or to my sons Iphone. It does not work. I have soft started using the on/off power and home button simultaneously for the required 10 seconds - no changes. i have reset network settings nope, I have shut off imessaging, I have deleted all text messages, then tried, nope. I have used siri, voice recognition, typing for the text messages, nope. I have sent pics and text pics only text only nope. I have talked to a verizon tech who reset the network on her end nope. ( then we lost the connection - this was a land line discussion while I was making the restart network on my iphone)
I do not know whether this is a verizon ios6 ihone 5 bug so if I do not get a resolution quickly verizon can take back the iphone 5 and pay me for the lost time and business. I had no problems with my other phones which were not iphones!!!!
ANyone have the same or similar problems and did you get a resolution.

My iPhone is sending text messages from my email account

I just did the new iOs 6 update on my iphone and now when i send text messages they show up as coming from my email account rather than from my phone. Is there a way to change this?

Go to settings/messages and make sure you have send as SMS turned on. Then in send & receive make sure your phone number appears there. When sending messages while you are connected by wifi it will go view imessage

How can I save to my pc some photos that I received on my iPhone 5 via text message from my granddaughter?

My granddaughter sent a text message to my iPhone 5 (IOS 8.1), and included some photos from a soccer tourney. I saved the photos to the iPhone, and they show up on the iPhone in the camera roll. I'd like to transfer some of them to my Windows7 PC, but can't figure it out. When I open Windows Explorer, many photos from my iPhone show, but not the ones from Elizabeth. Can anyone help me?

You can download iCloud for Windows program and turn on Photo Stream in your iPhone (Settings > iCloud > Photos, then turn on My Photo Stream)
Now, your new photos will be downloaded to your PC as soon as they are uploaded to iCloud automatically.
Or you can download something like iExplorer for PC (any third-party app) that can browse files in iPhone. With that, you can open your photo library in iPhone and drag and drop to the Desktop the photos you need.
One more way is browsing manually folders in your iPhone in Windows Explorer and just checking every folder in DCIM. In my case, the folder with the latest images was the pre-last one. There is a chance that you just didn't see the right photo last time you were checking iPhone folders, but if you know it is in Camera Roll, then it is 100% in DCIM, so the fastest way is just checking folders one more time.
