Message send failure on iPad and iPhone

I can send texts from my iPhone 4 and my ipad but I keep getting message send failure.  But the recipient actually receives and responds to the text.  What is causing this problem and how do I fix?

  • Trouble sending email from iPad and iPhone

    I'm haing trouble sending email from iPad and iPhone 4. No trouble receiving email, just sending!

    If this happened in the past hour or so with dot-mac or dot-me mail, the iCloud servers were having a problem.

  • In the past month or so my iPhone 5 battery is dying in hours, whereas it used to last all day at least.  Also, I am getting constant "message send failures" when texting and frequent dropped phone calls.

    Just recently my Iphone 5 battery is dying in a just a few hours, it used to last all day or more.  I'm not doing anything different with it, although I have started shutting down apps etc. to conserve battery.  I get constant "message send failures and frequently dropped phone calls. 

    My best bet would be to restore the phone. Back it up to itunes, and then reset it Factory settings. This way, any corrupt software will be removed, and you can start fresh. Make sure you back it up first. By the sounds of it, you are using the phone for business and probably need the data from it. Hope this helps!

  • How do I DISABLE text message forwarding between my iPad and iPhone?

    I want to DISABLE text forwarding from my iPhone 5 (IOS 8.1.1) to my IPad 4 (IOS 8.1.1) but....I have already tried the following (so PLEASE do not make these suggestions):
    I want to be able to text from my iPhone and those text messages (either SMS or iMessage) NOT go to my iPad.  BUT, I want to also text from my iPad and those messages NOT go to my iPhone.  I want the text messages to stay on each device independently. 
    Since I still want to be able to text from my iPad, I do NOT want to turn off iMessage.  If I turn off iMessage, I cannot text from my iPad.
    I disabled HANDOFF
    I disabled TEXT MESSAGE FORWARDING (from my iPhone)
    Creating a new Apple ID is not an option since there is other data that I need between devices.
    Having followed these steps, I still cannot stop the texts from forwarding between devices.  Any ideas?

    On your iPad, can you deselect your phone number as an option in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at and then add an email address at which you can be reached? My iPod Touch is set up to use an email address (I have 6 email accounts) and the messages on my iPod do not sync with my other devices.
    I Do have to say that it has been ages since I set up the Touch for Messages, but I am running iOS 8 on it. I can't remember if I had to sign out of messages and start all over again on the touch in order to deselect the iPhone number.

  • How can I get messages on both my iPad and iPhone?

    When I send text messages on my iPad, they do not sync with my iPhone, or vice versa. How can I resolve this issue?
    iPhone 4S Verizon and iPad 3 without telephony

    Go to Settings > Messages > Receive At. Use the same Apple ID. Make sure the phone numbers/email addresses you want to receive messages at are checked.

  • Email sending issues with iPad and iPhone

    II've been having intermittent problems sending email on my iPhone 5c and ipad 2. I have deleted and added my accounts, spent quite a bit of time with my internet provider, checked and double checked settings, turned the phone/iPad off and on...it's very frustrating. It was okay for a couple days and now is problematic again. I even got an error message -cannot send mail - when the tech support person got my message. This really seems like something Apple needs to address.

    Hi Lori,
    Mac OS X (10.6.4)
    If you are running v10.6.4, click the Apple () menu (top left in your screen) Software Update ...
    Then sync both devices, restart both devices.

  • I would like to keep all my Music and photos on my mac but only top rated music and certain photos on my iPad and iPhone please help

    I would like to keep all my Music and photos on my mac but only top rated music and certain photos on my iPad and iPhone how do i stop iCloud from sending all to iPad and iPhone
    please help
    Regards
    Steve Davey

    If you manually manage the device the you can remove the content from the PC after you have put it on the device. However this isn't the recommended way. At some point you'll probably need to restore it which involves wiping all the data. If you don't have all this data to hand then you'll have to try to recover it from a now problematic device first. It's much easier to sync with your library - yes you have two copies, but that's not a waste, it is prudent. As long as you have two copies you can afford to lose one knowing you have a backup. In practice I keep a complete backup of my library, in addition to the subsets of it that I can put on my devices.

  • Why do i keep getting "Message Send Failure" every time I send pictures on iMessage? All are sent to other iPhone/iPad users.

    For a few months now, I've been getting "Message Send Failure" every time I send pictures to other Apple devices (iPhones, iPads, Macs), despite the recipient receiving them. So, even though the pictures are going through, the "Message Send Failure" notice keeps showing up. I checked with other people who have Apple devices and they also encountered the same issue whenever they send pictures (usually send an email to make sure it was received).  I thought when iOS 7.1.1 came out that it would fix this issue. Has anyone else encountered the same issue? Thanks!

    I started getting the error on my iPhone 5 (iOS 7.1.x) several weeks ago - if not a month ago. Today I finally decided to run through a wholesale sign-out/sign-in process on all my devices (iMac, MacBook, iPad 1, iPad 3 and iPhone5) and it worked!
    I signed out of iMessage/Messages on all devices. I also deleted my iCloud accounts on all my devices (make sure you tell the software to keep local copies when you are prompted - relax, it all stays in the cloud, too) Then I signed back in to iMessage/Messages and then re-added iCloud accounts all around. I just sent a message with a photo attachment and did not get the "Not Delivered" message - yay!
    (FYI - even though I received the error every time I sent a message with an image attachment, the message still went through - very, very happy, though to finally get rid of the message...)

  • Everytime i try and send a message to my boyfriend through imessage on my ipad, it says "Message send failure" but all of the messages are coming in through my email, i hate texting my boyfriend through my email. So can someone help me, please.

    "iMessage allows users to send texts, photos, videos, contact information, and group messages over Wi-Fi or 3G to other iOS 5 users, thus providing an alternative to standard SMS messaging for all users with devices running iOS 5."
    This is what it is and what it does. You both have to have iOS 5 installed on your supported device. If that's not what your setup is, then that's your answer.

  • Since upgrading my ipad and iphone software i am receiving an error message when sending emails, saying that the email address was rejected by the server.

    Hi,
    Since upgrading my ipad and iphone software i am receiving an error message when sending emails, saying that the email address was rejected by the server.
    Please advise if this is a known problem, and what is the fix.
    Many thanks
    Mark

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!

    You can send iMessages to other iOS devices, like iPad, iPhone, etc. Furthermore, the other iDevices users must have set up their iMessage.

  • Message send failure when sending text message to none iPhones. Worked fine at apple store now not working for me again ( whether on wifi or cellular) what is wrong?

    Why am I getting message send failure from my iPad to a non-iPhone

    When I was in the Apple store on Friday with my iPad I asked the text the same question. we turned on my iPad and it allowed me to text text message anybody I wanted regardless of what the device. When I left apple store while I'm in the parking lot and I checked it again before I left the area and it still allowed me to text message anybody. Now it is not. And also I cannot email anybody from my iPad today to a non iPhone and that's wrong because until today I have been doing that for weeks. Hmmmm now what
