My imessage isnt working.

i go into the settings then messages and it says that there are no addresses to send and receive messages. when i click there my phone number is grey with no check mark. why is this happening?

It should. As with email, a message is either sent or not sent. If it can't be sent, a red indicator will be on the message indicating it was not sent.

  • HT3529 My imessage isnt working. Why is that???

    My imessage isnt working. Why is that?

    There has been an outage for both iMessage and FaceTime today.  Started at around Noon time, PDT.
    There is nothing you can do from your end, this problem is on Apple's servers.

  • My imessage isnt working sending photos

    My imessage is working fine sending text, but it wont send photos. It tells me that the photo is delivered and then minutes later it will say it's not delivered?

    Ok what worked for me was that in imessage I went to settings, then go to accounts and select the imessage account, where it says you can be reached at: You should only leave the @icloud.com mail, you close the window, close imessage and it should be working now. I had the gmail and more accounts and they were making the mess. I hope this work for you

  • My imessage isnt working please help asap!

    i have an iphone 4 running off straight talk, the phone has worked without any problems until a day and a half ago, i even called apple care with this problem. whenever i go to send an imessage the message sends but doesnt deliver idk if its my phone or theres but the bar will go all the way but not always send my phone has full service and full wifi so i dont understand o.o. I've tried hard reset, network reset and even a restore and it seems like it doesnt want to send my messages so please someone help me :/ been kinda bummed and worried about this. thanks!

    There's probably not much to be done now.
    Generally, the damage isn't caused by the water as much as the short circuits the water creates when the device is used and charged. Since you've already used it the damage may already be done.
    The recommendation when a device gets wet is to leave it in dry rice for a period of time (days to weeks depending on how wet it was). The rice will wick out the moisture.
    When you think it's dry you can then charge your device and see if it comes back or if it's dead.
    Since you've already used it, I'd just leave it sit for a day or two. Let the rest of the moisture evaporate, then see if it works or if the damage is permanent.

  • HT3529 my imessage isnt working, any ideas?

    My imessage is not working, it wont activate.  Any ideas?

    Turn iMessage off in Settings->Messages->Off. Leave it for a minute and then turn it back on. This will re-activate it and it will be working again :-)

  • IMessage isnt working from iPhone 4s to iPhone 6

    since updating the iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 6 and because I have all iPhones in my house in one iTunes account my husbands and daughter have iPhones 4s and iMessage will not work... The "waiting on activation" stays there and will not work... I resart iPhone... I put on and off imessage and facetime and I reset twice both iPhones too.. And still imessage will not work... we cannot text each other.. What we can do

    Hello Valfromvalleystreamny,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having activation issues with iMessage after a recent update, and/or are unable to send or receive messages, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful:
    If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime - Apple Support
    If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Also, I'm unclear if this is what you meant, but if you were saying that all of your devices are sharing the same Apple ID/iTunes account, that would generally not be recommended, as noted here:
    Can I share my Apple ID with someone else? 
    You shouldn't share your Apple ID account information with other people. Each person should have their own Apple ID.
    Frequently asked questions about Apple ID - Apple Support
    Sincerely,
    - Brenden

    I write a messge to my friends but i dont see the message or there reply....
    I have tried log out restarting the program still the same problem once i log back in..
    does anyone have the same problem?

    Hi Karisam,
    Try this:
    Open a Finder Window
    Click on the "Go" in the above status bar
    Press and HOLD the "option/alt" key
    the "Library" should appear in the Go list
    Click Library still while holding the option/alt key
    Go into Preferences
    Look for com.Apple.imessage.bag.plst
    Move that file to the trash
    Delete the trash
    Restart iMessage
    This should hopefully resolve your issue.
