HI,
I had this issue once.
On checking thre iPhone settings the Apple ID had become Unchecked and th iPhone Number was not ticked at all.
I removed the Apple ID
Placed the iPhone in Airplane mode to break with the server.
On taking the iPhone out of Airplane mode I checked the iPhone Number was listed for iMessages and then re-added the Apple ID
As I did not get the pop on the Mac version as soon as I thought I should I restarted the Mac Messages app.
It then got the pop Up saying the iPhone was using the iPhone Number and Apple ID.
(I probably did not wait long enough but I would do this if the pop has not appeared in five minutes).

  • Mail not sending from phone

    Receiving mail at last on HTC phone but can't send out. Any suggestions?

    first of all, have you checked the condition of your SIM card, and also that you have the correct data settings from your network carrier, and that your data plan is indeed activated?

    Hello, Anita.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand that you are wanting to restore your new iPhone 6 from an iPhone 5 backup.  This sounds like the iOS version of your old iPhone 5 may be newer than what was installed on your iPhone 6.  Try going through the steps in the article below.  
    iOS: Unable to restore from backup of a newer device
    I would also check to see the backup dates in iTunes and if the  backup is located on iCloud instead of iTunes.  
    Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes
    Cheers, 
    Jason H.

    By default sent items should be saved in your Sent folder. For IMAP type accounts you should be able to change that by selecting the account in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then selecting 'Account' on the popup for it and then 'Advanced' at the bottom of the next popup

  • Message "not downloaded from server. You need to take this account online

    After upgrading to 10.4.9, when I click on any of the old emails in my inbox I get the message "this message not downloaded from server. You need to take this account online in order to download it."
    I can still read all email in any other mailbox.
    I can read all email received after upgrading.
    I appreciate any help.
    G4 17 inch   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   1 gb ram

    You upgraded to 10.4.9 from what?
    If you upgraded from Mac OS X 10.3 or earlier, the problem is that the conversion from Mail 1.x to Mail 2.x is broken. Take a look at the following thread to better understand the problem:
    Help! "You need to take this account online in order to download it."
    More specifically, if this is a POP account, the following procedure should allow you to fix the Inbox problem. A similar procedure should allow you to fix other mailboxes that might also be affected:
    1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
    2. Make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong while trying to fix the problem. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is stored.
    3. Create a new folder on the Desktop and name it however you wish (e.g. Inbox Old). It doesn’t need to have an .mbox extension.
    4. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/INBOX.mbox/.
    5. Move the files mbox and Incoming_Mail out of INBOX.mbox, into the Inbox Old folder just created on the Desktop. These files contain all the messages that were in the mailbox before the upgrade to Tiger, and maybe even some messages that had been deleted. mbox is the most important. Incoming_Mail may or may not be present.
    6. Move any strangely-named Messages-T0x... folders to the Desktop (not into the Inbox Old folder). These folders are to be deleted after fixing the problem. They are temporary folders created during an import or an indexing process, and Mail should have deleted them when done. Their presence is a clear indication that something didn’t work as expected. If you’ve been using Mail after the conversion and have already tried to fix the problem by rebuilding the mailbox or something like that, they might contain messages that are neither in Messages proper nor in the mbox file, so keep them around until the problem is fixed.
    7. Move everything else within INBOX.mbox, except the Messages folder, to the Trash.
    The result of the above should be that INBOX.mbox contains the proper Messages folder only, and the Inbox Old folder on the Desktop contains the mbox and Incoming_Mail (if it exists) files only. Now, proceed as follows:
    8. Open Mail.
    9. The account’s Inbox should properly display in Mail as many messages as *.emlx files are in ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/INBOX.mbox/Messages/. If that’s not the case, select the mailbox in Mail and do Mailbox > Rebuild.
    10. In Mail, do File > Import Mailboxes, choose Other as the data format, and follow the instructions to import the Inbox Old folder that’s on the Desktop.
    As a result of doing the above, some messages may be duplicated now. Andreas Amann’s Mail Scripts has a Remove Duplicates script that you may find useful.
    Do with the imported mail whatever you wish. You may move the messages anywhere you want and get rid of the imported mailboxes afterwards.
    If all is well and you don’t miss anything, the files on the Desktop can be deleted, although you may want to keep them for a while, just in case.
    Take a look at the following article (also referenced in the thread I mentioned at the beginning of this post) to learn what you might have done before upgrading to minimize the risk of this happening, and what you may do after fixing the problem to avoid similar issues from happening in the future. DON’T do now what the article suggests, though, as that would make things worse in the current situation:
    Overstuffed mailbox is unexpectedly empty
    Ask for any clarifications or if you need further assistance.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

  • FOUND SOLUTION TO EMAIL ISSUE - "message not downloaded from server"

    It took me 4 days to figure it out but there is a solution to the problem "the messsage has not been downloaded from server" and "the message has no content".
    I do not have to set up "push" accounts from yahoo or gmail and it works with my corporate email.
    Apple can reach me at <Message was edited by: Host> to discuss this issue.

    I'm not a computer technician, and if you were to give me a few days looking at the problem, i'm sure I or anyone else could provide a solution. I'm not too bothered about the message appearing 50% of the time as i'm usually within easy reach of a Laptop or PC or can find another method to get access to my email.
    So i'm not pi**ed off that you have found a solution. I'm just trying to obtain information for a post that says "FOUND SOLUTION TO EMAIL ISSUE - "message not downloaded from server" in the Apple HELP FORUMS...

  • Can not set up messages to send from Macbook Pro to Ipad

    Hello everyone,
    I am having trouble sending from MacBook pro Messages to Ipad. If I send a message from Ipad, it shows up in Macbook, however if I try to send from Macbook, it tells me "Your message could not be sent. Your message account is not signed in " SO I press sign in and a dialoque window pops up and I can see that I am actually signed in with my apple ID, and the acount is enabled. However it also shows that "Messages Inactive" and when I go to Messages menue, I can not even change my status.
    I have checked the firewall, its off.  Please enlighten me, I am starting to feel like I am loosing it with technology

    I am having the same problem. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I called apple restored my phone to its original and it did not work :-( Now it seems like it worked for a bit than stopped again. Now I have to contact Apple again to set up an appointment at an Apple store because it may be an issue with my phone. I have only had it for a week and half!

  • Emoticons are not sending from mac to phone with iMessage?  They show up as symbols etc.    But they will send from the iPhone to the mac?   what am i missing here.    This used to work seamlessly.   Just started having issues?

    for sometime i have been using the emoticons seamlessly between my iphone and imac through imessage but now it seems to be kaput.   it will send from my phone to the imac but from the imac to the phone is converting to symbols.   what am i doing wrong?

    Thank-you for the response RJTUK.   I thought I was losing my mind.   I thought that I would add for those that are following this post.   I also noticed that the emoticons are showing up fine from iMac to MacBook.   It seems the only loss in info is with the my iPhone [iphone 5 os 6.1].   So it definitely must be on the phones end?  Hoping that someone will fix this shortly.   I know it is silly but I really enjoy the personality that emoticons can add to a imessage.   

  • Text messages not sending

    Hey,
    A few weeks ago i bought some skype credit to text my girlfriend in Peru, from the UK (england). For the first week or so it worked fine, she would recieve the message very quickly, and the price was very reasonable. No problems.
    But, suddenly it changed: i will send a message to the same number, which is correct, and the message will attempt to send, but it will fail, with the advice to check number coming up. I am at a loss; the number is correct, we used it for a week with no problems, she is recieveing texts from people (granted, in Peru) ok, and i can call her using my home phone. What is going on?
    Possibly a related problem is that my mobile cannot text her either using normal credit. Anyone got any ideas?

    I'm so sorry but in cases such as this, there is nothing we can do as the problem is not on our end. Please note that the SMS travels from us to the phone's provider and finally to the phone itself. If the providers reports to us that the SMS was sent, then the status of the SMS in Skype is delivered.

    Hi Team,
    MSN - 0429394904
    I don't believe there is anything that we can do for this particular issue, customer is more looking for clarification to take back to Skype. But he is unable to receive Skype SMS messages, can receive standard SMS without any issue.
    Skype has claimed that they are receiving the delivery confirmation message that the message has been received but nothing is being received to the mobile. I have confirmed with customer that other people that have been sent a Skype SMS are unable to receive the messages also, so is likely an issue with the Skype service.
    Would you have any further feedback?
    Example SMS - Sent via Skype on Monday 6pm.

    We have added SMS and also GPRS/Data on the customer's service. Skype has nothing to do with us and we in no way support SMS travelling over a third party platform.

  • Skype messages not sending

    I'm not having ANY luck reinstalling or signing back out.
    My messages won't send from my phone, even though I have great WiFI that's working, and I see recieved messages on the lock screen, but when I check to see them on Skype, they're gone.
    Thinking about getting a new app since this one won't work right.

    I'm really getting pissed off at this point. 3 hours waiting on Skype, this morning I woke up to find 0 messages received from all contacts and all my group chats were empty(they'd normally have around 500+ messages by now)  I turn off the wifi, forget the network then put in the pass code and get connected again, skype is still giving me bs. So I uninstall it then reinstall, takes like a whole **bleep** hour to load up my contacts and it let's me talk to ONE FRIEND for a split god **bleep** minute. Yet it didn't load up any group chats, when I check the history it's a log from 3 months ago when I called my girlfriend. The group chat isn't even there and it's been 3 hours on waiting for it, plus 95% of my contacts are on offline(even the ones that ever go on offline mode) How do I fix this, I'm on an iPad 1 and have recently gone on vacation to Bangladesh(still am here)

  • Emails won't send from phone

    Just found out that people are not receiving any emails that i send from my phone. Not sure why and have no idea how long it has been going on. Could be as long as I have had the phone. How do I fix this?

    First contact your isp or email provider to get the correct pop3 and smtp server settings. Write them down. The under setting up email in your owners manual follow the instructions on setting up email. after the correct settings are entered and you put in your email login and password you should be good to send and receive email.
    Good Luck

  • Mail will not send from anywhere except home

    I am using mail with an external mail server. I have two accounts on the same server. For some reason when I send from my primary account at my house it works fine. If I am anywhere else it will not send email. The secondary account does not have this problem. any idea why this might be happening and how to correct the problem?

    if two accounts on the same server and one works, then you aren't having network issues.
    It's possible that a particular message you're sending is tripping blacklists. if the subject or content has the keywords that trigger a rejection, that might be your explanation. Use test emails..
    Next, I'd look to see if the accounts are configured the same. It might be that the server location works with your DNS at home, but when away, it doesn't resolve. Check to make sure the evil account matches the good one.
    If this is a large service provider (gmail, yahoo, aol) it shouldn't matter, but a small personal server might have different server side rules for each account. I run a server and it has the option to require that the mail come from the same domain as the account. That makes the account incapable of sending while the account owner is out of the network.
    Use the Connection Doctor (under the Window menu)
    Question: what is the service provider of the email account?
