Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number

Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number? It keeps going to imessage and then back to text message

Both you and the recipient have to have active data connections, and both devices have to have iOS 5 or higher to be able to use iMessage. Also, they both have to have iMessage activated. If that is already the case, there is a possiblility that iMessage is down. It has gone up and down several times in the past week. Check this page for status, and if necessary you can report a problem with a link in the lower right corner. http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/

As you probably know iOS devices can only be physically synced to one computer at a time. If you mean will iTunes Match keep all your "devices" up to date with all our music then, yes, that is what the service is designed to do.

Does imessage work with iphones only?

Does Imessage only work for iphones or does it work with android too?

Ok folks, here is a question for you Mac gurus!
You said any iphone running iOs 5 and above?
what can you tell me about using iphone 3Gs phones?
my wife and my mother both have these phones.
They are iOS 6.1.x
and messages is the GREEN app for regular SMS
I wish to help my mother and wife to use the iMessage service.
Like you said above I set them each up with an APPLE ID
But, I have not been able to teach the or download any iMessage app because that I think is for later phones.
Is this correct?
Is iMessage a feature for only iPhone 4 and above?
If not how can I work with the MESSAGES app and not use the CELLULAR SMS *(currently with us is AT&T ala carte which is like owning a payphone ....not good)
thanks for any information

I have Iphone 5 and have an issue with deleting part of the messages in Imessage conversation. The trash button is not displayed to delete part of the imessage. I see only delete all option. Is it a bug?

Hi An Iphone user,
If you are having issues deleting a specific message from an iMessage conversation (not seeing the Trash icon), you may want to double-check that you are following the steps outlined in the following article:
How do I delete a message?
To delete a message, tap and hold the message bubble, then tap More.
Tap Delete All to delete all the messages. Or tap to select the messages you want to delete, then tap .
After you delete a message, you can recover it only by restoring from a backup.
Send messages with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Limitations of read-only JE Environments

Hello all,
I realized recently that our documentation on the limitations of read-only Environments is lacking. So for the next JE release I updated the javadoc for EnvironmentConfig.setReadOnly. The new text is pasted below. If you're using, or thinking of using, a read-only environment, be sure to take a look. I apologize for the lack of documentation in the current release, especially if you've used a read-only environment without understanding these limitations and this has caused problems for you.
--mark
setReadOnly
public EnvironmentConfig setReadOnly(boolean readOnly)
Configures the database environment to be read-only, and any attempt to modify a database will fail.
A read-only environment has several limitations and is recommended only in special circumstances. Note that there is no performance advantage to opening an environment read-only.
The primary reason for opening an environment read-only is to open a single environment in multiple JVM processes. Only one JVM process at a time may open the environment read-write. See EnvironmentLockedException.
When the environment is open read-only, the following limitations apply.
. In the read-only environment no writes may be performed, as expected, and databases must be opened read-only using DatabaseConfig.setReadOnly(boolean).
. The read-only environment receives a snapshot of the data that is effectively frozen at the time the environment is opened. If the application has the environment open read-write in another JVM process and modifies the environment's databases in any way, the read-only version of the data will not be updated until the read-only JVM process closes and reopens the environment (and by extension all databases in that environment).
. If the read-only environment is opened while the environment is in use by another JVM process in read-write mode, opening the environment read-only (recovery) is likely to take longer than it does after a clean shutdown. This is due to the fact that the read-write JVM process is writing and checkpoints are occurring that are not coordinated with the read-only JVM process. The effect is similar to opening an environment after a crash.
. In a read-only environment, the JE cache will contain information that cannot be evicted because it was reconstructed by recovery and cannot be flushed to disk. This means that the read-only environment may not be suitable for operations that use large amounts of memory, and poor performance may result if this is attempted.
. In a read-write environment, the log cleaner will be prohibited from deleting log files for as long as the environment is open read-only in another JVM process. This may cause disk usage to rise, and for this reason it is not recommended that an environment is kept open read-only in this manner for long periods.
For these reasons, it is recommended that a read-only environment be used only for short periods and for operations that are not performance critical or memory intensive. With few exceptions, all application functions that require access to a JE environment should be built into a single application so that they can be performed in the JVM process where the environment is open read-write.
In most applications, opening an environment read-only can and should be avoided.

You've asked an interesting question! I'm afraid that the answer is that it's not possible in BDB JE today.
What you'd really like for your second case is part of the type of functionality provided by MVCC (Multi-Version Concurrency Control). In case you're not familiar with that term, MVCC is the database feature which guarantees that all reads made in a transaction will see a consistent snapshot of the database and that the transaction will successfully commit only if no updates it has made conflict with any concurrent updates made since that snapshot. Unfortunately, while our sister product, BDB (C) has that feature, we do not yet support it.
I think your alternatives are to do achieve your point in time snapshot from the file copy based backup, from the second process, or from an application level mechanism that locks out other updates.

Linda

I received a notification on my iphone recently that "Leroys Ipad" is now using my phone number for Imessage. The problem is the Ipad is in possession of my ex girlfriend and we no longer communicate. How do i receive Imessage on my Iphone only?

I received a notification on my Iphone recently that "Leroys Ipad" is now using my phone number for Imessage. The problem is that i no longer have that Ipad but my ex girlfriend does and we no longer communicate. How do i receive Imessage on MY PHONE ONLY or delete other devices not in my possession from my messages?

You need to change your Apple ID password. You could login to Find My iPhone and wipe that iPad if you felt the need to do so.

How to sync iMessage across all iOS devices?

How do I sync iMessage across all iOS devices?

Simple solution to imessage not syncing....
I did it and I hope this solves your problems too!! My wife's devices would NOT sync imessages the way we think iMessage should sync intuitively. I figured it out and it's now working perfect from what I can tell.
Go to https://appleid.apple.com and make sure under phone numbers you have your cell phone number filled out! I deleted prior threads before testing (not sure if that was necessary) but now it's working like a charm. (might take a second to ping the phone number to the imessage server)

Found it. The key is shutting down the sequencer in Ultrabeat once you have dragged the pattern to the arrange window.

Using iMessage on Wi-fi only device

How can I use old iPhone 4S iMessage over Wi-fi only...
I am borrowing a friend's old iPhone 4S to use as a Camera and Wi-fi only device in Italy for two weeks. After much ado, I set up a new Apple ID, erased hers from the iPhone 4S, added mine and logged into my email. Email now works - to and from the Wi-fi only iPhone 4S.
However, I cannot get iMessage to work under my new Apple ID. It used to work with my friend's Apple iD, but all of my messages show up on her new iPhone 6. The iPhone 4S still registers her phone number and says the carrier is Verizon, although it is not connected to Verizon. Her phone number is active with her new iPhone 6 on Verizon Wireless.
I want to use iMessage from this Wi-fi only iPhone 4. Help! iMessage is frozen at "Waiting for activation". I should be able to use iMessage from this old iPhone 4S over Wi-fi, right?. I have an iPad Mini at home (Wi-fi only) that I can iMessage to and from quite easily.
Any insights? I would love to use this in Europe for two weeks.

Cannot receive texts or activate my imessages since downloading ios 7

I cannot receive texts or activate my imessages since downloading ios 7 but I can send messages and make calls. Has anyone got a fix for this please?

Imessage problem after ios 5.1.1 updating directly from device.

My iphone 4s cannot receive imessages and send messages only as emails after updating to ios5.1.1 directly from the device(not with itunes). In the imessage section , to the part where my number is , it says that has an error. Any help??

Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
If that does not resolve, basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
