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,

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.

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?

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.

Install ClamXav and run a scan with that. It should pick up any trojans.

IMessage shows not delivered on one device, but delivered on others

Hi there,
since a few days I have a strange iMessage problem. When I write an iMessage to someone from my iPhone it shows up as not delivered after a few seconds, but the message does arrive at the recipient. If I look on my iPad the same message looks ok, it shows the delivered/read status perfectly normal.
When I switch devices, the problem exists the other way around. I get the not delivered status on my iPad but the same message shows up OK on my iPhone.
The problem exists on different WiFis and on the 3G network.
I already tried to "reactive" the iMessage service on my iPhone but to no avail.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how to resolve the problem?
Thanks in advance,
Gritzens

Aaaaand seconds later I found the solution:
I logged out from Messages on my Mac and everything works again!

Why can i send text messages to one person, but cant get one back?

why can I send a text message to one person, but cant get one back?

Do you have that person blocked? Set to Do Not Disturb (Open the conversation thread, tap Details in the upper right, check that DND is set to Off)?

I have loaded new software and iMessages does not appear to be working. All messages appear as in delivered but they will send to the same address on my iPhone.

I messages does not appear to be working on iPad every time I type a message it comes up as in delivered but I can type the same message on my iPhone and it works straight away

MMS is a carrier issue... contact Verizon and ensure your account is provisioned correctly. I would think that someone would be intelligent enough to do that before buying a new device, but......
iMessage could be an activation issue or a network issue.
Have you tried Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings?
Does iMessage work consistently on Wi-Fi?

In my email all the messages from one person bunch together and I would like to separate them. I have done this before on my iPhone but just recently got an iPad and its doing it on this, so does anyone have any ideas how to fix this issue?

Settings >> Mail, Contacts. Calendars >> Organise by Thread. Switch to OFF to see every individual email in the Inbox.

I sent a mail to some one by mistake just now. How can I recall a message if the person has not read it yet?

hello sanjaykaul, that won't be possible - once an email leaves your mail server it is no longer under your control.

My ipod touch 4 gen is showing headphones in but they are not

My ipod touch 4 gen is showing headphones in but they are not.plz help me

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

HT1338 I'm getting a message that my Java is not updated, but when I run the update check, I'm told all is updated. Some web materials won't open because my Java is not updated. What do I do?

I'm getting a message that my Java is not updated, but when I run the update check, I'm told all is updated. Some web materials won't open because my Java is not updated. What do I do?

Hi Ginny,
There are no more updates for Java from Apple for 10.5.8, the only way to get a Java upgrade is updating your OSX.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...

It looks like they do still have it:

HT3529 easiest way to print out my text messages from one person

I would love to know the easiest way to print out my text messages from one person, how can I do that?
I just did the last IOS updated, I'm not sure the number after it

Printing from the iPhone either requires an AirPrint compatible printer, or an app from the App Store. You would have to search to see if they are free or cost. Also, the printing of text messages would either require you to make a screen shot of the message and to print that as a photo, or you would need a 3rd party software on the computer to copy the entire message to the computer and print from there. There is no native print capability for entire message threads.

Imessage showing not delivered status..in mac mini

Hi all,
I am using mac mini with new Yosemite OS, my imessage sign in with my user id , but if i ping any online recipient, status shows not delivered.same apple id account i login in same mac mini with another user login account its working. is the user profile issue or any other issue?

Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.
