IPhone won't send iMessage (even when signed on Wi-FI or 3G)

My iPhone won't send iMessages even when I try to connect through Wi-Fi or 3G. At first I thought it was my Wi-Fi but it wasn't since I can connect to programs such as Safari and Instagram. I have also reset my network settings. Can someone help me or have any idea how I can fix this?
Thank you!

Phone is not jailbroken.
Got it re: passcode lock.
If I do a system restore, but I restore as a new phone, will my crucial phone functionality remain intact (phone number, ability to make calls, etc.)? And when it's restored, do I then just do a sync to have all my data brought back into the device?
Sync settings for calendar and contacts are enabled properly, and are the same as they have been for years. I'm not sure it's the calendar or contact data that is corrupted (although anything is possible) because the sync problems started happening exactly when the iMessage problems started happening.
Please advise on the system restore (not from backup) and I will post my results. Just wanna make sure I'm not doing anything irreparable.
Thanks...DG

  • My phone won't use IMessage even when the person I'm txting has an iPhone why?

    Why won't my phone use iMessage even when the person in txting has an iphone

    I'm having same problem with sending to 3 people from a particular WiFi Network. For two people the iMessage i write is sending, but stops just before Delivery and then says not delivered. For the third person it immediately sends as text message.
    Answered to questions above.
    Can I send to others... Intermittent. Usually no, but then at some point a lot of iMessages comes at once.
    Settings have been enabled.
    Also other persons settings/Messages are enabling iMessage.
    Enabled for WiFi + non roaming cellular ( at my end it should mean only wifi as I am in roaming area with wifi available).
    Numbers are all enabled as we have used them a lot of times, an no changes or upgrades this month.
    So: it seems to me to be a WiFi issue here, but the odd thing is that it sometimes lets iMessages through.
    e-mail and browsing works fine.
    Any suggestions?

    Hello, RicardoSwe.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I see you have tried some troubleshooting steps already.  There are a couple more steps that I would recommend trying in the article below.

  • IPhone Won't Send iMessage Photo to One Specific Phone

    My wife's phone will not send photos via iMessage to my phone.  We're on the exact same wifi, exact same carrier.  Everything works fine when I send her iMessages or photos via iMessage.  She can send me iMessages, but when she tries to send me photos, the photo is "delivered" then about 10 seconds later it pops up "not delivered."
    I've tried resetting the network settings, signing out and back in of iMessage, Facetime, and iTunes, I've tried resetting the wifi connection on both phones, I've made sure the contacts are correct in each phone.
    What's happening & how do I fix this?  It's only my phone.  She can send photos via iMessage to all other iPhone users we know.
    We both have iPhone 4S running iOS 7.1.1.

    Are you using separate Apple IDs?  If not, that would be a problem.  iMessage will not send information to the same Apple ID on another device.

  • 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.

  • 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!

    My phone has recently stopped sending iMessage even though it has wifi also it has stopped automatically sending it as an SMS when iMessage isn't working I have to manually get it to send as a text message. I haven't changed any settings. Any suggestions?

    Try the following:
    Go to Settings > Messages > iMessages > disable
    Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    let it do it's thing and reset.
    Then go to Settings > Messages > iMessages > enable
    You'll then have to go back to your Wifi and re-enter your router credentials.

  • Iphone won't send mail - does receive

    This seems to have been discussed ad nauseum, but I can't figure out the solution for me.  I get the following message when trying to send or reply to emails "iphone won't send email  a copy has been placed in your outbox.  the sender address ______was rejected by the server".  On wifi everything works, not when I am off though.  My email provider is Roadrunner  (.twcny.rr.com)
    Everything was fine up until yesterday.  I don't know what could have changed.....
    Any help would be appreciated.
    KR

    I'm having same difficulty.   Was on tech support this AM and they couldn't figure it out either.   I'm setting up a home wifi in next few days, will be interested to see if situation changes.   My iPhone seems convinced that I'm [email protected] and tries to originate email from that address, only to be rejected by server as you describe.  I can receive email that is addressed to [email protected], but even replying to such mail gets the same error.  I'm beginning to suspect an ios5 bug, or there's something else about authorizing email addresses than is covered in documentation.

    Hey lozza567,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues sending MMS messages. The following resource may provide a solution:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
    Issues with sending and receiving MMS
    You will need these to send and receive MMS:
    - An iPhone 3G or later.
    - iOS 3.1 or later.
    - A cellular data connection. MMS isn't available if you are using only Wi-Fi.
    - A domestic MMS plan from your cellular provider. You may need an international messaging plan to send MMS to an international contact. Contact your carrier for more information.
    - A roaming MMS when using a cellular provider's network different from your billing cellular provider's network. Learn more about roaming and contact your carrier for more information.
    To resolve issues with sending and receiving MMS, follow these steps first
    1. Go to Settings and turn airplane mode off.
    2. Go to Settings > Messages and turn MMS Messaging on.
    3. Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Cellular Data on.
    4. Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Data Roaming on if you are roaming on a cellular provider network different from your billing provider's network.
    5. Verify that you have a cellular data connection in the status bar at the top left of your iPhone.
    6. Go to Settings and turn Wi-Fi off. Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify that you have a data connection. Turn Wi-Fi back on to continue using Wi-Fi for other features. If your cellular data connection isn't available, follow these steps.
    7. Verify that you can send and receive SMS. If you are unable to send and receive SMS, see the "Issues with sending and receiving SMS" section, above.
    8. MMS may not be available while on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports.
    9. Restart your iPhone.
    10. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
    11. Reseat your SIM card.
    If you are still unable to send or receive MMS, follow these steps
    1. Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
    2. Go to Settings > Messages and turn on group messaging if you are sending a group message.
    3. Make sure that you are using the area code with the contact's phone number. When sending messages internationally, you also need the contact's international code.
    4. Verify a "Pay as you go" MMS plan has enough available balance. Contact your carrier if unsure of your MMS plan or available balance.
    5. If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    6. If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact from the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
    7. Back up and restore your iPhone as new.
    8. If your carrier has recently ported your phone number, the porting process may not be complete. Contact your carrier to confirm that the porting process is complete.
    9. Contact your carrier to verify that you are provisioned to send SMS and are in an area with cellular coverage.
    10. Contact your carrier to verify that there are no blocks or filters placed on your wireless account preventing you from sending SMS.
    11. Your carrier may require APN settings to be modified to use MMS. Learn more about when you should adjust APN settings.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Clicking sound comes on my iphone 4 while taking photos even when iphone is in silence mode...Please help me out to solve my problem

    clicking sound comes on my iphone 4 while taking photos even when iphone is in silence mode...Please help me out to solve my problem

    The iPhone has a 1 year warranty. Restore the phone in iTunes with the latest iOS to remove the 'gray market'. You will then have to send it to your close friend, at your expense, to take it back to the Apple store in Toronto to have the phone looked at. Then your close friend will need to send the phone back to you, at your expense.
    I would also sudggest that you send your friend a sim from your carrier in India. This way after it is fixed/replaced he can try the sim at the Apple store to ensure that it is unlocked.
    Good luck.

  • I changed the password for my Apple ID and now my iPhone won't send my texts

    I changed the password for my Apple ID and now my iPhone won't send out my texts....says they are undeliverable unless I send them out manually as texts.

    Hi sbiermann,
    If you have recently changed the password on your Apple ID account, you may need to manually sign out and sign back in to your Apple ID on your device for the change to take effect. You may find the following article helpful:

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable              
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I have sync'ed a folder of photos from my other laptop to my iphone 4, i couldnt copy it from the iphone to my new laptop, even when i go through as normal internal storage the folder doesnt appears

    i have sync'ed a folder of photos from my other laptop to my iphone 4, i couldnt copy it from the iphone to my new laptop, even when i go through as normal internal storage the folder doesnt appears

    Correct. The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  The photo sync is one way -  computer to iphone.
    You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
