My iMessage freakishly stopped working with only one person?

First off I was sending my boyfriend pictures and he didn't recieve them (iMessage was working fine) and so I turned my phone off too. After a few minutes my iMessage turned off and my messages were being weird. I turned my phone off twice and it was still the same. So I turned off my iMessage in the Settings and turned off my phone again and now it still won't work. I can send emojis to him and he gets them but when he sends them they come out as &: and I don't know what's going on.. Help me fast please.

Hi BKalafut,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I recommend trying these steps, first with the group message, and then with the contacts who are in the group message:
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact from the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
You can find these steps here:

    Hello Jesslb23,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
    To resolve issues with sending and receiving iMessages, follow these steps first
    Check iMessage system status for current service issues.
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that you have registered iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID and that you have selected iMessage for use. Learn more about troubleshooting iMessage registration if the phone number or Apple ID isn't available for use.
    Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify data connectivity. Learn more about troubleshootingcellular data or a Wi-Fi connection if a data connection isn't available.
    iMessage over cellular data might not be available while on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on to use iMessage while on a call if your network doesn't support simultaneous data and voice calls.
    Restart your device.
    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
    If you are still unable to send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
    Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
    Verify that the contact you are attempting to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact in the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
    Back up and restore your device as new.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • I have lost the remote that was paired. I bought another remote, but the procedure to pair the new one does not work. I suspect the the AT will work with only one remote at-a-time and i have to unpaid the first before pairing the second. How do I unpair?

    I have lost the remote that was paired. I bought another remote, but the procedure to pair the new one does not work. I suspect the the AT will work with only one remote at-a-time and i have to unpair the first before pairing the second. If this is true, how do I unpair? If not, what can I do?

    I was premature in posting the question. I found the answer in andother posting, and it was successful.

  • JMS Queue working with only one AIA instance.

    Hi,
    We are having a Web-Logic JMS Queue configured for an instance. I have developed a consumer in AIA instance to pull the messages from the Queue.
    And this works fine.
    Now I have an another instance consumer which is pointing to the same Queue, but it fails to get the messages from it.
    I have switched off the consumer in the FIRST instance, but even then consumer from the SECOND instance was not able to pull the messages.
    Later, I tried switching on the consumer of the FIRST instance, and all the messages were pulled in this instance.
    So how can I make it work with two AIA instances and one JMS Queue, provided only one AIA instance consumer is active at a time.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Regards!

    * Likely your best bet is to check your server logs for "Error" and "Warning" messages, and/or, since these questions are specific to AIA's usage of JMS, post your questions to the AIA newsgroup.
    * WL JMS does not impose a limit on the number of consumers on a queue, but it does only allow one named connection with the same "client id" to connect at a time. Its unusual to name connections in queueing applications, but possible - and AIA may be doing this. (If this is the problem there should be "client id in use" style log messages or exceptions.)
    * Another possibility is a misconfiguration of your remote consumer. Make sure the URL is correct, and remember, if an application is running in the same cluster as the remote destination, don't specify a URL.
    * Also, if the remote consumer is running in a different domain, make sure the domains are named differently, and that no two JMS servers in the two domains have the same name (as per the unique naming restrictions documented in the Best Practices section of the JMS configuration guide -- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/web.1111/e13738/best_practice.htm#CACJCGHG ).

  • Mail does not work with ONLY ONE e-mail address

    I am using mail with 6 different e-mail addresses all using godaddy as my mail server. Some(4) are imap, some(2) are pop3.
    All of my e-mails work great except for 1 (which is imap). My iPhone and iPad as well as entourage all work for this e-mail address. It is only Mail that does nto work all the time.
    This is the frustrating part. It works some times, and not others. No rhyme or reason to it. When it is not working, the only way to make it work right away is to delete the account and re-install the account. Some times, it will just start working on it's own. The worst part, is whenever I bring it in to a genius to look at it, it starts working, and of course, they say nothing is wrong.
    Any thoughts on how to fix this???

    Okay, it works the same way for me. I'm not sure whether "open all" will come back in that case, where there's only one bookmark. Does it slow down your workflow a lot to middle-click on the bookmark itself instead of on the folder?
    Requests for feature changes get a bit lost here in the support forum. You can submit suggestions in one or more of the following ways:
    (1) Feedback site: https://input.mozilla.org/feedback
    (2) Developer mailing lists (sometimes hard to figure out which one is best): https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo
    (3) Bug tracking system (yours would be a request for enhancement): https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ and https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Mozilla/QA/Bug_writing_guidelines
    With all the bookmark-related extensions out there, it's possible someone has posted one that adds this feature back, but I haven't searched.

  • Skype calls don't work with only one contact

    Hello, I hope there isn't already a similar topic. 
    So, for two years now, there is a friend I try to call regularly. She lives in Algeria and I live in France. At first, we could hear each other. And one day, for no reason (??), I could not hear her anymore. And then when I tried to call back, I could hear her, and she's the one who could not hear me. And then we tried, and tried, and tried, and it was always like that, only one of us could hear the other. I tried to get a new account, I changed computer, and I moved from place to place, and she did too, so I don't know what to blame here. My skype works perfectly with literally anyone else, and it is the same for her. Once I tried to do a conference call, and we could hear each other, and when I tried again it didn't work. Please help me ! 

    Nevermind we fixed the issue. I had to make sure I had my realative's area code included in the phone number.

  • Audio chatting with only one person

    friends i run the cocomo example folder audio application. it runs successfully
    but this has following thins.
    sdk  audio example uses an audio publisher and subscriber.
        * All users other than the person running the demo can hear the published audio.(important)
        * The example also shows to change various audio settings such as gain, silenceLevel,
        * echoSuppression, and so on using AudioPublisher properties.
        * These settings pertain to the audio publisher and do not affect the settings of other
        * audio subscribers.
    my needs:
                        roster displays that who are all the users avails in room. Just i have to select the particular person and i have to make audio chatting. it is not puplished to others in the room.
    suppose in room 5 members are there means. audio should be published to only one selected person. how to do it. if you know the coding part. please send to me. it is very urgent.

    Hey Karthick,
    Like chat you cant publish Audio just to a certain user. One approach would be using groupName. So try exploring groupName concept in the AudioPublisher. The publisher and subscriber can have the same groupName and this would enable them to have a private conversation.
    Thanks

  • TS2755 why is it that imessage is not working for only one of my imessage/iphone user??

    One specific person that i been sending imessages to all of the sudden only send as regular text messages but all other iphone/imessage user sends correctly y is that?

    On the iPhone that can't send or receive iMessages, make sure iMessage is On in Settings > Message.
    Also, try the tips in this Apple doc -> iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    If you still can't send or receive iMessages
    To send and receive iMessages, your device must have a valid cellular or Wi-Fi data connection.
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    iOS: Troubleshooting cellular data
    Ensure that iMessage is turned on in Settings > Messages.
    iMessage registration validates your Apple ID for use with iMessage. If you are unable to activate iMessage, follow this article.
    If iMessage is unavailable either on the sending or receiving device, SMS will be used. You can turn this on or off in Settings > Messages > Send As SMS. Carrier messaging rates may apply.
    Verify that the Apple ID or phone number is listed in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.
    Note: To receive iMessages sent to your phone number on your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac, you must meet the following requirements:
    iPad or iPod touch using iOS 6 or a Mac using OS X 10.8.2.
    Verify that you are signed in to your Apple ID account on Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.

  • My iMessage has stopped working, it only says Text Message now when I try to message iPhone users

    I got an iMessage in this morning and I tried to reply to it, which didn't go through and since then all of my contacts only get Text Messages. It doesn't say "iMessage" in the typing field anymore, it says Text Message. This is urking me and I don't know what to do.
    Anyone have a solution?

    Hi Friend,
    First check your Internet connection.
    Turn off Show Subject in Settings>>Message
    Reset the Network Setting, which makes your phone to forget every networks and passwords that you connected your phone to.
    to reset the Network Settings just go to Settings - General - Reset (at the bottom) - Reset Network Settings.
    I remember when I reset the Network Settings, i turned off iMessages. I connected to my home Wi-Fi and surfed the web for a little while. Sent some regular SMS messages, and about 10min later, I turned on iMessages again and sent a text to a friend with an iPhone and it started working as iMessage! Baloons finally became blue.
    Hope it helps

  • IMessages are not working for only one of my contacts!

    I have tried everything.  Restarted my phone, hard reset, iMessages on and off, reset network, NOTHING!  I am beyond frustrated!  It is saying messages are delivered but my friend says he is not receiving and he can only send text messages to me.
    Anyone have any tips or ideas??

    Hi BeeHive069,
    If you are having having iMessage issues with a specific contact, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful, in particular:
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.

  • I want to bcc myself when sending mail from one account but not another. When I check "automatically bcc myself", it bcc's me from both accounts.  Can I set this to work with only one account?

    I have two mail accounts on my Mac.  I want one account to bcc me when I send emails from that account.  I checked "automatically bcc myself" under mail>preferences>composing, but both accounts bcc me when sending mail.  Can I set this to only bcc myself from one specific email account? Thanks.

    It does not make sense that your ssh does not have a dash capital Y (-Y) option. It is in "man ssh", and my 10.6.6 has the -Y option, and I've had a -Y option since at least Tiger (10.4) days.
    My ssh is in /usr/bin/ssh
    I'm not very good at X11 issues, so I'm just throwing ideas out there.
    Does your broken account have a $HOME/.ssh/config file, and if so, what is in it?
    Does the broken account have any $HOME/.x* or $HOME/.X* files that X11 might be reading to configure your X11 behavior differently from the new test account?
    $HOME/.Xauthority
    $HOME/.Xdefaults-<hostname>
    $HOME/.Xresources
    $HOME/.ICEauthority
    $HOME/.keymap.km
    The above are a few names I found looking through "man X"
    While I'm thinking about it, I assume that when going to the server, you are using the exact same user account on the server, so that you have a constant at least at that end.
    Have you tried trashing your
    $HOME/Library/Preferences/org.x.X11.plist
    file, to see if that is affecting the broken account?
    Again, I am just throwing out ideas to see if anything sticks.

  • Chat with only one person, but be invisible to others

    It seems to be impossible to initiate a chat with someone while invisible. I want to chat with my wife while I am on a business trip, but I don't want to be interrupted by my other friends who are online at the time.
    I can set my status to "away", but I'd rather just be invisible. Is there a way to have a private chat without anyone else being able to interrupt?

    That is strange as I can start Text chats and Video chats whilst Invisible.
    On your wife's end what is here Security Setting (Block and Allow List in iChat > Preferences > Accounts > Security tab) ?

  • IMessage won't work with 1 contact. (iOS7)

    iPhone 4s with iOS7
    iMessage won't work with only 1 specific contact.
    Prior to updating i was able to iMessage with the contact in question without issue.
    Both of us updated to iOS7 yesterday, since then messages between us are Text Messages only. We screwed around with everything. We discovered if i send to his email address (checkmarked with iMessage) it works. ALSO...after searching and trying different things, he can send me iMessages from his number, but when i respond it switches SMSs . FaceTime also works.
    It works with all my other contacts without issues.
    We both tried the following.
    - deleting eahcother as contacts,
    - resets (many)
    - turned off iMessage (reset network settings)
    - logging in and out of appleID in several locations
    - removed checkmarks from emails/phone number
    - on WiFi, on 3G
    - phone restore
    Start new conversation: only my phone # is checkmarked. receinve, I have 3 emails and phone number
    any ideas?
