Messenger not working with non-apple cells after changing password iOS password

I changed my password because apple decided to not accept my password simply trying to download an app and after i got home, i lost capabitilty of texting to non-iphones through the messenger app.
It absolutely lost the capability i had before simply by changing my password.
I tried relogging in in all my devices iphone, ipad, and macbook pro and though i can text fine on my iphone, i no longer can text outside of the apple world to android cell phone users.
How do i regain connectivity to the rest of the world instead of just apples?!
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
If the iCloud ID is the same one you use in Messages for the iMessages account then you need to change the password there and in all other devices.
As you tend to be unable to change all devices at the same time the link between the iPhone number and th Apple ID tends to get lost which then means any Text Forwarding linking also gets broken.
On the Mac Version Untick the Enable box for the iMessages account.
On the iPhone remove the Apple ID and place the iPhone in Airplane mode for a good two minutes.
Go back to the Messages settings after this and make sure the iPhone number Verifies.
When this is done turn th Enable box back On on the Mac version.
Untick the iPhone number as a Receive "ID".  This may make the Start Conversation From drop down disappear.
Send an iMessages from the iPhone (it can only use it's number) to the Apple ID (Effectively the Mac)
Send a reply.
This will check that the iPhone  (Number) can Send and Receive.
Now on the iPhone Add back the Apple ID to re-link them.
This should cause the Pop up to appear on the Mac.
If it does not Restart the Mac version.
This should Enable the unticked iPhone number in the Receive At list and make the Start Form drop down appear.
Now Reset the Text Forwarding.

  • Why does my camera connection kit not work with my ipad 1 after updating on ios 5?

    Why does my camera connection kit not work with my ipad 1 after updating on ios 5? What can I do to make it work again?

    It should. It will only respond if there's something on the card for it to respond to, so do you have pics on the card?
    And if it's messing up; try giving the iPad a restart. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see hte red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again. That can clear up any glitches on the device itself.

  • Airplay not working with non-apple router

    I use an airport express only for playing music in a remote location. It stopped working after I switched my main wireless router from a Time Capsule to a Linksys running Tomato USB firmware.
    The Express is set up as "join a wireless network" with the correct SSID and password. The light on the Express is green and the main router status page shows it is connected, but Airplay cannot see the Express from either iTunes on my macbook or my iPhone. Also I cannot see the device in Airport Utility. When I connect the Express to my computer with ethernet, Airport Utility can see it and so can iTunes.
    I have another Express hooked to the network via ethernet and everything works fine with that one.
    Surely Airplay should work with non-apple wireless routers. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    thanks

    Factory reset the express, and try to make it join again...

  • Why does Server Monitor not work with non-Xserves?

    Does anyone know why Server Monitor does not work with non-Xserve computers? We acquired a Power Mac for a server, based on there being no apparent difference except for the obvious. Turns out there are some differences after all.
    Do Power Macs lack some hardware components or is this just a software thing?

    God question, unfortunitly I dont have the answer but I would also like to know why the software only works for X-Serve....Is there any 3rd Party Software that is similar to "Server Monitor"?
    Thanks

  • My apple ID is not working with my apple store

    My apple ID is not working with my apple store

    I have the exact same problem as "Jan Olsen 1"
    I sent them feedback:
    "I was given a $25 iTunes gift card. 
    When trying to log on to my account, my password didn't work (though I entered the correct password THREE TIMES). 
    I requested help changing the password through an e-mail. Went through the process, changed the password.
    I successfully logged on to my account and entered the gift card information and was given a $25 credit.
    When I tried to buy mp3s, I was asked to enter my password - AGAIN. 
    I got one of the following messages each time I tried to enter my NEW password:
    'We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (5002).
    There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later.'
    or
    'Verification is required.
    You must enter your AppleID and password, click Billing Info, and verify your payment information in order to make purchases.
    The Apple ID you entered couldn't be found or your password was incorrect. Please try again.'
    Don't know where to go from here."
    And then, just to log on to this forum, I had to enter my AppleID TWICE! Once, then again to verify my AppleID!
    Ridiculous! Frustrating!

  • My macbook is back from repairs. It is not working with my apple led cinema display. It was working prior to the repairs on the laptop. Is there a setting I don't know about that might have been changed?

    My macbook pro is just back from repairs.  It is not working with my apple led cinema display. I have followed the directions in the cinema display manual.  am I missing something?

    Take a look at the Displays preference panel to see if everything is ok, particularly the resolution and refresh rate.  Displays will probably try to put the panel for the ACD on the ACD where you won't see it.  So click "Gather Windows" to get the ACD panel on to your macbook.
    One more thing, make sure you fully seated the mini displayport plug.  They can be sneaky little devils in that they need to be fully pushed in.

    My cellular network is not working on my iphone 5 after updating to ios 8.1.2 !! It was working fine on ios 8.1.1

    Did you do the Reset Network Settings as I described above?
    There is no way to go back. You can try reseating your nanoSIM or replacing it. Or call your cell provider and have them check the provisioning on your phone.
    Or Restore your iPhone from your backup in iTunes.

    I have this problem too - and it is on a BRAND new iPhone 6 - I have definitively tracked the issue to the moment I upgraded to iOS 8.1.2 - and am beyond frustrated. No fix to tell you about, sorry…but you can read my post here if you are into the whole "misery loves company" thing: iOS 8.1.2 Cellular data problem (Definitive - maybe)

  • Airport Extreme won't work with non apple products?

    this is a recent problem after years on working ok.

    You have not given us enough info to say anything. you haven't asked a question.
    AE work fine as AP with non-apple clients.
    I have multiple phones and wireless devices from numerous brands working with AE and TC.
    What you might find is that naming of the AE has become more of a problem.. so you need to use SMB naming.. ie short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric, for the AE itself and the wireless SSID.
    You might also find the latest firmware upgrade did nobody any good. If your AE is the flat one, go back to 7.6.1 which IMHO works better.
    If your AE is old it could be just faulty.. it might need replacement.
    If you want to do things like wireless extend, then there are huge issues with mixing apple and non-apple wireless routers.. but that is not new.. it has been an issues since Apple routers came out.

  • My N73 not working with ovi or pcsuite after i upd...

    My N73 not connecting with my windows vista after an updated my old software with the nokia software update. i have tried resetting mu phone and unistalling the pc suite and ovi and installing them back but no use... i hav no idea what to do. the mass storage option works fine  but the computer just dont recognosie the phone when in pc suite mode... i am using windows vista home basic.....before the update the applications were working fine .....
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi, Nokia N73 is compatible with Nokia Ovi Suite. I would recommend following:
    - uninstall all existing Nokia PC SW (Nokia PC Suite, Nokia Connectivity Cable Drivers, Nokia Ovi Suite, Nokia Software Updater) from your PC
    - Check, that you have enough free disk space and free memory in your PC. Error message shown in your screenshot seems to be related to Windows operating system problem, not having enough free resources to complete the installation of drivers needed for your device
    - Reboot your PC
    - Download Nokia Ovi Suite from our web pages
    - Install Nokia Ovi Suite
    - Start Nokia Ovi Suite and connect your device using USB cable to your PC
    - If that doesn't help, try connecting your device using Bluetooth to your PC
    Cheers, Samuli

  • Cisco Aironet FW 15.2 Does not work with Non-Cisco Media Bridges

    I have a Cisco Aironet 1142i that was just updated from 12.4(23c)JY to 15.2(4)JA1 (don’t think model matters as the issue seem to be the firmware) and now I cannot get my media bridges (3 different ones) to either connect to the 1142 AP or obtain and pass the DHCP addresses to other device connected to the built in switch. If I reload the 1142 AP firmware to 12.4, than this works fine. I have not seen anything in the release notes that changed how this works or if there is I could not find it.
    Does anyone know why this changed and if there is any settings that I need to enabled / disable?
    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated

    More info to add to this.
    AIR-AP1142N-A-K9 Hardware Version of v06 works with firmware 15.2.
    AIR-AP1142N-A-K9 Hardware Version v05 does not work with firmware 15.2, but will when downgraded to firmware 12.4.
    I'm also having this issue with Cisco Aironet 3602 Fw 15.2(2)JB and 3502 Fw 15.2(2)JB$ that's on a Cisco 2500 WLAN Controller Sw Ver. 7.4.100.0.

  • Cannot update apps downloaded with old Apple ID after changing ID

    My wife and I used to share my Apple ID on all mobile devices (iPhone 4S, iPad 2) and Mac so we could share contacts, calendar, purchases (apps & music).  My Apple ID was an inactive email address.  When I bought my iPhone 6 I decided to change Apple ID to a current email address and she created her own Apple ID for her iPhone 4S and iPad 2.  Figured we could still share data through Family Share.  Changed Apple IDs on all devices to the current ones.
    Now, she cannot update apps on her devices as she gets message that her apps were downloaded with another Apple ID.  It asks for password for that Apple ID (my old ID), and the passwords for my previous Apple ID and my new password don't work.  I tried deleting the apps off her devices and then installing again from the Mac we backup to, but that did not work.
    Also, is there a way to share contacts and calendar through Family Share or some other way.  We don't seem to be sharing any longer since making all these changes.  Why did I make the changes?  Because using the same Apple ID on all devices was causing me to get her text messages and vice versa, and other strange things after updating to iOS 8.
    I have iPhone 6, she has 4S and iPad 2.  Have a MacBook Pro circa mid-2010 running Yosemite, version 10.10.2.  Mobile devices run iOS 8.1.3

    It is a good thing you made 2 separate Apple ID.
    I tried deleting the apps off her devices and then installing again from the Mac we backup to, but that did not work
    It's normal it didn't work because you are reinstalling apps (that are on the Mac) that were purchased/obtained from your Apple ID. She needs to reinstall them through the App Store on her device, using her Apple ID.
    share contacts and calendar through Family Share or some other way
    Calendars can be shared through iCloud (A)(without Family Sharing), or using the following method (B) used for the contacts.
    Contacts can neither be shared through iCloud or through Family Sharing.
    To get them synced: Get all of your wife's contact on your iOS device. (you can send them to your iOS device through iMessage)
    then go to your wife's iOS device: Settings --> Mail, Contacts, Calendar.
    From there, disable her iCloud contacts, then add YOUR iCloud account, and select only contacts (and calendar if you want the method (B)).
    This should answer all your questions.
    Cheers
