New iPad3 and it's not letting me send text messages.....the "send" button is not high lighted....
New iPad3 and it's not letting me send text messages.....the "send" button is not high lighted....
I've already tried everything listed in these links.
I've also resync'd email accounts via iTunes between my Air and iPad3.
Messaging works OK on all my other devices using the same account settings.
Problem started around May25th.
(and yes, I already posted back then under a different ID with no resolution).
There has to be a simple solution.
I'm presuming some sort of conflict with iCloud, but not sure.
Any other ideas? -

My iPhone wont let me send text messages to numbers with a different area code. How do I fix this so I can send texts to these numbers?
If it shows up in iTunes and you can sync the phone, could be that the docking port is damaged.
You should get it serviced or looked at by visiting an Apple Store or contacting Apple:

I have a brand new IPad Air 2. My operating system is 8.2. I am not able to send iMessages (texts) to non Apple devices. When I attempt to, the name is in red not green. What can I do to fix this?
An iPad is not capable of natively sending an SMS or MMS messages. Those services require a cellular voice channel connection, and a data tablet is only capable of a cellular data channel connection, not a voice channel connection.
If you have an iPhone, under the settings on the iPhone you can enable forwarding with your iPad - where the iPhone actually sends and receives the SMS texts and shares them with your iPad.
Otherwise, you will need to use an app and internet service like the telegram messaging app. Or you can send emails to the persons cell phone via their carriers texting gateway (e.g. [email protected] if they use AT&T in the USA).
iMessages between iOS apps are separate from SMS texts as iMessages use Apples internet service and equipment. But the SMS protocol crams a short text message into the residual bandwidth of a cellular phones voice channel and cannot be sent over a cellular data connection. -

Mail Doesn't let me send any messages..
Hi everyone,
First, I'd like to thank all of the people who dedicate their time to help us, Mac newbie.
Second, I have now, after updating into 10.4.8, two Mail.app problems.
The first problem is that every time I click on new message, I get this window http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/6791/picture1gv0.png as you see, the To, BC and BCC don't show up.
The second problem is that once I write the email address in this To section and then I click on Send, the new-message-window disappears, but the email never gets sent out.
Your help to solve those problem is really appreciated.
Regards,
KhaledHi Khaled.
It could be that the update wasn't installed properly.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you're using:
About the Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update
Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for PPC
Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for Intel
Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates
Installing software updates
Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk before installing the update, no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.
BTW, please update the Operating System field on your My Settings's profile (and click Save), so that it accurately reflects the version of Mac OS X you're using now. -
Why can't I send text messages on my iPad? I can send and receive messages on my iPhone.
Hi Kathy,
Happy Holidays! Do you have an iPad with cellular service and a text-messaging plan?
Send messages with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201287
What's the difference between SMS/MMS and iMessage?
SMS/MMS lets you send text messages and photos to other cellular phones or devices. iMessage lets you send text messages and photos to another iOS device over Wi-Fi, without worrying about text-messaging charges (cellular data charges may apply).
What do I need to use SMS/MMS and iMessage?
Here's what you need to use SMS/MMS and iMessage:
SMS/MMS: A text-messaging plan. Contact your carrier for more information.
iMessage: An iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later.
How do I know if my message used SMS/MMS or iMessage?
You can tell which type of message you're sending by the color of the Send button and text bubble.
SMS/MMS: Send button and text bubbles are green.
iMessage: Send button and text bubbles are blue.
How can I link my iPhone number with Messages on my iPad, iPod touch, or Messages for Mac?
When you sign in to Messages with your Apple ID on your iPhone, you link your phone number to your Apple ID. If you then sign in to Messages with the same Apple ID on your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac, Messages will link that device to your phone number as well.
I hope this information helps ....

N97 doesn't send text messages?
I purchased my N97 on release date, and up until now, it has been texting fine, however, as of yesterday I have been unable to send text messages and when I attempt to, they just sit in the outbox telling me to retry sending them later.
I can receive messages perfectly fine and I am on O2-UK, if that's any help?
Please could someone help? It's getting kind of annoying...This is an airtime supplier issue. Contact O2 and confirm they have not changed your contract settings and ask them to txt you the correct settings to your phone, have answered many posts on this subject, it is inevitably down to O2,Vodafone,Orange,T-moblile etc etc. They all seem to have been messing about with settings last few weeks, I had similar prob, and took 5 calls for someone to realize they had removed the service from my contract. Be persistant with them !
Good Luck

Dear AppleCare，
As I bought my iPhone 5 16GB,White in the USA from Sprint, full price with tax,unlocked ,it was excepted to be a global phone. But now I come across with some problems in Chinausing local carrier, everything is working properly except sending text message, and iMessage and Facetime also seem not to work.This is very serious for Apple and me! Will I have the chance to fix this?
I tried all the possible solutions from the Internet, and the Official solution offered by Apple (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4459), but it doesn't seem to work.
Will Apple help me with this issue? Please do.
Information of my iPhone:
SN:F1*******8GJ
IMEI: ****
MEID: ****
ICCID: ****
My Apple ID account：****
<Personal Information Edited By Host>I had the same problem. Kept getting message of waiting for activation or check network connections. I also tried every solution out there and nothing worked. This did though: I download the newest version of itunes (through Internet Explorer - Google Chrome wouldn't work). It pulled in my entire library thank goodness and then I plugged my iphone 4s into the computer. I let itunes find it, did a complete backup in icloud, then did a restore. Entire process took a couple of hours, but I now have imessage and facetime back. I was about ready to give up on Apple and go get a different phone ~

After I upgraded my Iphone 4 with the ios 7.1.1 it locks up while sending text messages. I can usually send a few then will have to restart my phone(often more than once) to get it to send and receive messages again. I have done a back up and complete reset and that has not fixed the problem. Have been told that the ios 7.1.1 just isn't compatible with the Iphone 4 so that's why it is locking up so often, but I am hoping someone else may have a better answer since it can't be undone. Thanks!
7.1.1 is certainly compatible with the iPhone 4. Just try a reset first.
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss) -
Why do text messages from my iPad appear to some people as if they came from my email address instead of my phone number? This does not happen when I send text messages from my iPhone.
You need to link your iPhone number to Messages - and Facetime if you use it. For Messages go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessage at. If your phone number is showing there, select it as your Contact address. If it doesn't appear in there, take a look at the end of this article for help.

Will Apple help me with this issue? Please do.The Sprint iPhone 5 is NOT unlocked. The SIM slot can only be unlocked by Sprint for Sprint customers in good standing.
How exactly, did you "unlock" the phone? There are known issues with SMS on foreign networks.
If the article you linked to did not fix it, you'll have to work with your carrier.
The bottom line is, you should not have purchased a Sprint phone with the intent of using it without Sprint service.
