Messages on iPhone 4s saying "not delivered" but messages are being sent...

I am having an issue with Messages on the iPhone 4s and it's been going on for the last few days or so. Every time I send a message to someone else on iOS it gives me the little "!" and tells me the message is not sent. It is doing that for everyone sending messages to me as well.
Anyone have some insight?

IMessage pictures on my iPhone 5S say not delivered but were received?

It doesn't say it's not delivered right away but a minute after it was sent. I don't use any other devices for iMessage. I was in a group chat with two other people and they were having the same problem. I've tried resetting my network settings then I reset all settings and it didn't work. I also tried turning off iMessage for a while and it didn't work. What's up with this?

There have been many reports of this lately, you should search the forum for other threads about this. There have been different solutions that have worked for different posters. Best of luck.

HT4519 Default email is set but emails are being sent from another account

I have set up my email accounts on my iPad and set the default email as my home email. I have just noticed that all emails sent from my iPad are being sent from a different account. What am I missing?

Edit the address book entry to uncheck use display names. If you want to disable it completely Tools menu (Alt+T) > options > advanced >reading and Display and turn off the use of display names.
You never had this issue with Outlook.... The question is what did the recipient see, not what did you see. If they did not use Outlook there is a good chance they saw what was in their address book. You can address your mail as sent by "Very Important person from Very Profitable Company" If I add you to my address book as "The Goblin" I see "The Goblin" This is because Thunderbird places control in the hands of the user. Outlook does not. Note the Multiple ways to view a message body on the view menu.
I get your frustration, but your no longer using Outlook. Outlook is an excellent exchange client. I find it actually does email badly.

Messages to one person showing not delivered, but they receive them

So hubby and I have the same phone , Iphone 4s. Starting the this past weekend, when we send text messages to each other ( and only each other, not even others with iphone 4s or otherwise ) it comes back that the message is " not delivered " however we get the txts.
This happens on EVERY txt we send back and forth, and to both of us, but on each phone, the only txtx affected are the ones to each other.
Any ideas, why? Why only one person? How to fix?
Thank you,

Iphone 5 will not deliver text messages

I phone 5 will not send or receive text messages, red message pops up "Not Delivered". It will send and receive text messages only if a picture is attached. I have confirmed with my service provider that text messaging is included and part of the phone service. iMessage and FaceTime when turned on says "waiting for activation". Took the phone to Apple store the other day. After 3 hours they reset the phone several times, checked the software, and did who know what else only to tell me iMessage was down or being worked on and it should work in a little while. To ensure it was not a hardware issue I pressed Apple for a little insurance, they swaped the orgnal phone for a new phone. This did not fix the issue. Still no text message.

Having the same problem here. Stuck at work so I haven't had a chance to look into it, but everything else (data/voice/etc) works fine, so I have a hard time believing the phone is to blame. Anyone else experiencing this?

My iMessages are saying not delivered but are being delivered

Messages from my iPad are coming up as not delivered yet the other person is receiving them! But on my phone my iMessages are not being received and I am not receiving iMessages! This has been going on since last night and it's really irritating!! Please help!!

I think I found the fix. I unistalled messages beta from my mac, and that seems to have solved the problem.

Internal emails are not delivered but they are shown in the Sent Mail

hi,
I'm not enjoying Exch2013, the lack of a "proper" admin console is a pain and I'm having trouble getting the required diagnostic/tracking information out of PShell to fix my problem.
I've installed Exch2013 RC1 on a new 2012r2 Domain, the install went OK and there were no obvious issues however internal email's wouldn't deliver, they appear in Sent Items but aren't received in the internal rcpt's inbox.
while trying to fix the problem, I installed ExchCU7 and bingo everything sprang to life and mail was working, inbound/outbound & internally - so I assumed the service pack/update had fixed it but the next day I rebooted the server and to my horror,
I'm back where I started - no mail flow.
One single test message which I sent outbound using the Web mail, rather than Outlook did arrive but hours after I sent it? confused.com
this is running on a HV-2012r2 as a VM, with a dedicated Nic and plenty of Fixed VD storage.
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
I'm very close to removing Exch2013 and re-installing but I worry this would cause more issues.
Thanks Iain

this server is the first and only Exchange server in a single site/AD enviroment.
Doamin and Exch are both brand new, with one DC and Exch runing on a member server.
This server isn't recieving inbound mail yet, however the SMTP port is availible.
Am I correct in thinking that internal mail from one mailbox to another doesn't require SMTP, instead the msgs are transmitted within the HUB. I'd like to stress that the isntallation of ExchCU7 instantly fixed all the mail flow problems, then a day
later and after a reboot it reverted to back to its current state.

I have all the same contacts on my iPhone 5s my iPod and I can't text too just one contact you keep saying not delivered but I can text all the other ones with no problem why is that

Need help I can't figure this one out

The iPad cannot send SMS, only iMessage. If you attempt to send a message from your iPad to someone who does not have iMessage, you'll get that error message.

Everytime I try to send a Imessage on my mac it says not delivered, but it is synced to my phone. I have tried everything, but nothing seems to fix it.. Can anyone help me figure it out?

I can't seem to get my Imessages to send on my mac. I have tried everything, and it says it is synced to my phone.. Not sure what else to do to fix it??

..any joy finding an answer? I am stumped, too. Every day I convert Pages Docs to Word and PDF to forward to clients .. and all of the sudden last night Pages wouldn't let me convert. it was late -- I was frustrated, so I thought it was just me. Shoot me an answer if you found one. Tried rebooting, and no joy.
Thanks

I have an iPhone 5c. Just started having trouble texting to certain numbers. I send a message, they receive it (most of the time) but it also comes back to me saying not delivered. Also, their texts to me are delayed, sometimes 4hours and sometimes more?!

I have an iPhone 5c. Just started having trouble texting certain numbers. They receive them(most of them) but then it comes back to me saying not delivered. Also, their texts to me are delayed, anywhere from 4 to 12 hours.

iMessages. I have gone into settings and turned off iMessages for one minute then reactivated it. Then I turned off network settings and then back on again. Today I'll try and restore the phone again to see if that works. Frustrating!

I can't send any pictures on the message application. It tries to send it but ends up saying "Not delivered and an !"

I can't send any pictures on the message application. It tries to send it but ends up saying "Not delivered and an !" How do I fix this?

See:
* [[Images or animations do not show]]
*A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
*A click on the "More Information" button will open the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
*Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
*Select the first image link and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow key.
*If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

Why do all my texts say not delivered when the recipient is getting the message mulitple times?

when I send a text to a non-iphone user it says not delivered and it shows the red exclamation point. on the other end the person getting the message gets it 3-4 times. I have done a manual re-boot, checked for carrier updates, turned imessage off, changed the date and changed it back process, ect. and even an apple rep was not able to fix it. anyone have any tricks up their sleeve to help me out? I really don't want to have to go to an Apple store and stand there for them to tell me to do the same thing over and over again.

Yes. Everything in my settings is where it needs to be. And every method I have tried worked but only for a brief time. Then right back to the original problem.

Messaging photos saying not delivered

I am sending photos via SMS or email and they keep saying not delivered. So i try again and then the person gets them several times but my phone still says NOT DELIVERED. Then i send photos to another person and it said the photo was delivered as SMS but they didn't get it...
Any ideas ???
I have iphone 4S and just upgraded to IOS 6

I have been having this issue for the last two weeks, too. I've rebooted my phone a number of times, reset my network settings 3 times, reset my entire phone once, removed my Sim card twice... I've feel like I've done everything I can based on the troubleshooting I've found online. Seems like an aweful lot of people are having this problem. Constanting getting the "not delivered" when people are actually getting the message. I'll send it as a text message becuase it says not delivered and they will get it twice. Same thing happenes on their end and I'll get stuff twice. I'll send something once and the other person gets it multiple times. Just happens with pictures, and just over the last two weeks or so. This is happening with several different contacts, all of us have updated software. One has an iphone 4S, a couple of us have a 5 and the others all have the 5S. It's driving us all CRAZY.

IPhone 4s will not text ANYBODY, says 'Not Delivered' with red !

Okay, so I am so close to smashing this thing I am so mad.
Last night everything was working fine, I could text everyone and everything was sunshine and rainbows. Then in the middle of a conversation my texts suddenly stopped sending, saying not delivered.
At first it was only one person, but now it's EVERYONE on my contacts, iPhone user or not!
I've reset my phone settings, I've tried turning iMessage on and off, I turned SMS on and off, MMS on and off, I called apple and was met with a "Nobody that specializes in your apple product is available at this hour" response, I've tried adding a number to the existing phone number and then texting simply '111-2222' without the area code, I reset my roaming (or whatever that was, looked like *5000-something)
I can receive messages, and I can call people and receive calls, I just can't SEND them!
PLEASE, HELP ME OUT! Im going crazy!

Try resetting network settings in the settings and then rebooting the phone.
