IMessage saying messages are not being delivered... but they are...

This past week I have been sending out texts on imessage, but about 80% of them are coming back saying they aren't being delivered. But everyone seems to be getting them and responding. They also have said the same thing happens to them. I thought it might be a wifi issue and that I'm going through a work wifi, but it happens even when I'm on LTE. Any ideas as to why this is happening?

I've been having the same issue for the past couple of days too. It first says "Delivered" then changes to "Not Delivered", even though (at least most of the time) the messages seem to be going through. Only started happening to me on the weekend. Doesn't seem to make a difference if I'm using wifi or the 3G network. iMessage is only enabled on my iPhone. I've tried switching iMessage off and then on again as per some suggestions. Nothing seems to help.

Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed any mobile programs associated with my non apple cellphone. This seems to have started happening after the last Itunes update I did as I was able to put music on my ipod touch a month or so ago. Is there some way to go back to an older version of itunes? I really have no idea what else to do since I followed every step on the trouble shooting page for windows 8.

I had this problem too and my roommate solved it!
Go to 'Settings'
'Music'
Scroll to the bottom and enter your password to log onto your home sharing
Then connect to iTunes and sync!

IPhone 5 not being recognized by iTunes but rather iTunes crashing

Hi,
This is a bit long winded leading up to the current issue I'm having. To start of with, I'm using:-
iPhone 5, iOS 7.1.1, 16G
MBP (mid-2010) 2.66GHz, i7, 4GB 1067Mhz DDR3
OS 10.9.3
iTunes 11.2.1
The battery on my iPhone 5 (1 yr old) was being drained too quickly - a 40min review of news articles on the train would drain my battery from 100% to 80%. This was the case after switching off the 'Background Refresh App' function and closing all apps in the background. So I took it to Apple who ran a quick diagnostic that came up with no issues with the battery. However, when running an extended diagnostic, the phone was unable to complete this. So they decided to replace the phone.
Here is where it gets a bit hairy.....
I'm in the UK and the genius asked me to erase all my data. I did and then she realised she had to order a phone from the US since that's where I bought mine from - 'like' for 'like' apparently. Up till this point, the issue was solely with my battery. The phone was syncing fine with iTunes both through wifi and lightening USB cable (Apple original). I took the phone home to restore it from a backup but it wasn't being recognised by iTunes. In fact, every time I plugged it in iTunes would stop responding necessitating a 'force quit'.
Two days later, I received my new phone. I fired up iTunes (working fine) then plugged in the phone to set it up from a backup (FYI, I don't back up to the iCloud since I'm not keen on their T&C's). Again iTunes stopped responding. If I force quit iTunes and started it again without the phone plugged in, iTunes works fine. If the phone is connected, iTunes won't fire up (or would become unresponsive if already working).
I uninstalled iTunes including deleting the following files:-
/System/Library/Extensions/AppleMobileDevice.kext
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework
restarted the MBP then reinstalled iTunes. Unfortunately, the problem remains. I've connected another iPhone 5 and again the application is rendered unresponsive. There is no doubt that the problem arises when iTunes tries to comunicate with an iPhone.
Any suggestions on what the problem might be and how to rectify it please? Thanks.

My ipod nanos are not being recognized in iTunes. I have tried everything! Changed the drive letter, the disk to FAT32, resetted it, downloaded itunes again, but nothing has worked! HELP please.

Somehow my nano now lost all its music so now its empty! Also, before windows used to recognize my ipod and i'd get a pop up saying "open to view files" but now I don't even get that anymore. I have also tried syncing it by putting them in disk mode but NOTHING has worked. I am getting so frustrated.
I followed all of the "steps" on the apple support page but none of that has worked too. PLEASE help me because I literally feel like just throwing my ipods out the window. I never had this problem before.

When you connect your iPod to your PC, what appears on the iPod's display? Does the iPod charge when you have it plugged into the PC?
Are you running the latest version of iTunes (10.6.3)? It wouldn't hurt to also make sure your Windows OS has all of the latest patches and updates as well.
I assume you have plugged the iPod ino different USB ports located directly on your PC and tried using another 30 pin dock connector cable to rule out the possibility of a bad cable?

Song tracks are not downloaded properly from iTunes Store: they are not added to the playlists, and eat disk space

Hi,
Yesterday I wanted to upgrade my wife's iPhone (5, 16 GB) from iOS 7.0.6 to iOS 7.1.
She had only 500 MB of free space, and 1.9 GB was needed, so I decided to temporarily remove a number of songs from her music library.
After this operation there was 2 GB free, and the upgrade went successfully. After the upgrade there was still 2 GB free.
Then I wanted to download the songs again, and here something went wrong:
I went to iTunes Store > More > Purchased > Music, and clicked on "Download all".
When the download process was completed, there was about 500 MB free space, but I noticed that some of the tracks, and even a complete album, were actually not in the playlists; in another album only one of the 30 tracks or so was downloaded. So I went again into iTunes Store > More > Purchased > Music, and indeed some of the tracks were still marked as "to download", with a little cloud in front of them.
When I tried to click on one of these little clouds to download a given track, the track seemed to be downloaded, but as soon as the download was finished the little cloud reappeared again, and the track wasn't added to the playlists.
I tried to repeat that process a few times, until I noticed that there was now only 90 MB of free space.
I then tried to download one more track that was 10 MB large, and after this there was only 80 MB of free space.
So it seems that the tracks are indeed downloaded (and downloaded again if I click again on the little cloud) in a place where they use disk space without being otherwise accessible.
What can I do to:
1. download the tracks correctly so that they appear in the playlists?
2. clean up the space that was wasted?
Many thanks in advance!

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those tracks and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, 24 to 48 hours).
Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

Your computer detail provided indicates you have a Mac and the link you provided is for Windows - at least for the software conflicts portion the link went directly to, although some of the troubleshooting steps are similar.

HT1386 Since installing the latest itunes to windows 8 my iphone and ipod touch is not being recognized in itune

Since installing the latest itunes to windows 8 my iphone and ipod touch is not being recognized in itunes, therefore i can't change playlists or add songs etc. Is this a fault with itunes as it was fine with the older version or is there something i can do. I'm not on IOS yet but would like to backup my phone first but can't do that atm due to not being able to view my phone on itunes!
Thanks
