My iMessage refuses to work on my iPhone 4. My number is grayed out under the Messages Receive At iMessage. Please help!
When iMessage is turned on, it greys out my phone number (used to be stuck at "Verifying..." but now it just says "Phone"). Only my Email is clickable but it won't let me remove it. When I go to my Message app, only Text Message-ing is an option (showing green instead of the usual blue). This applies to all my friends who are iPhone users. I've tried Network Restart, phone restart, phone hard restart, shutting down Settings, shutting down Messages, ... now what else can I do? Please help. Much appreciated.
"Anyway, look at Settings > Messages > Receive At
I assume you mean a row that says "Phone" and your number is grayed out there. That is normal."
Check. Good that it's normal
"Now go down to "Caller ID". There you should see your phone number, probably checked, as well as your Apple ID (alternate message ID)."
Check. My phone number has a check mark next to it.
If all that's true and you have iMessage "On" in Settings > Messages, you're good to go!
Nope. My texting is still stubbornly green and it says "Text Message" in the field rather than "iMessage."

I deleted my microsoft office:mac 2011 word from my toolbar. I have Mac OS X version 10.6.8. I tried to reinstall but it won't work. This has never happened before. I get an error message each time. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't have time machine.
By Toolbar, do you mean the Dock? The Translucent bar normally at the bottom of the screen, but sometimes at the right or left side?
If that's what you mean, the Dock is merely a shortcut to what is already inside the Applications folder's Microsoft Office 2011 folder. If you have Word inside your Microsoft Office 2011 folder, you can drag it back to the Dock.
If you deleted the Microsoft Office folder, or it is empty, you'll have to reinstall it.
If you don't have your registration code, you'll have to call Microsoft for a new one. -
My iMessages no longer work on my iPad or mac. They still work on my iPhone. It says all my contacts are no longer registered with iMessage.
Hi,
There have been no updates recently.
You would also know if the computer had stopped for an Update.
On the Mac in the Contacts App in the Contacts Menu > Accounts is it shown to be using iCloud to Sync the info between all devices ?

My iMessages won't work on my iPhone 5. Any help would be appreciated.
As the title says, my imessages just wont work on my iphone 5. I have tried everything from a dfu restore, to turning imessages on and off, resetting network settings, turning off sending as sms, etc. etc. If I put my sim card into a friends iPhone 5, my iMessages activate and work right away.
Every message I send seems to send as a text.
iMessages in settings is activated and looks like its working but will only send as a sms. I cant receive iMessages either.
My iphone is out of warranty and Im all out of options. If this is a software problem, can I get a replacement iphone through apple as this is obviously not a hardware issue?
Thanks. Any help would be much appreciated.I have restored as a new phone and it still doesnt work.
As for creating a new Apple ID, Ive tried that and it doesnt work. It still defaults to my number and it wont allow to send an imessage as it reverts to SMS when I type in a contact in the messages app.
I tried starting new conversations from the Apple ID as well but didnt have any luck.
I believe its something that isnt getting wiped out through the restore process.
I wish I could escalate my issue to someone who could look at the underlying code and see whats wrong with the phone -
My iMessage won't work on my iPhone 4.
My iMessage won't work on my iPhone 4. It used to but I had a new screen and a new apple ID created so I don't know which is causing the issue. I tried turning off auto time and back on and still won't work. It say check connection. Same with happens when I try activate FaceTime???
I am also getting the message to connect to iTunes to use notifications even though I have notifications turned off for the app???

My iMessage doesn't work on my iPhone. It says sign in information is wrong but it's not?!
There is an earlier thread that was answered by an Apple employee that states they are seeing the iMessage and Facetime servers are down. It is unknown when they will return, however it generally is not an extended period of time.

I have an IPhone 4 and have no data so I can't receive any iMessages unless I'm on wifi. Is there a way to change it so that all my messages come in as a SMS instead of iMessage?
Yeah but when Iphone users who send me messages send them in iMessage, it never gets switched to SMS!

My iPhone 5s has stopped playing music out of the speakers. It works when I plug in my headphones but other than that there's no sound. It just randomly happened so I'm not sure if I can fix it or if I need to bring my phone in. Help?
Hi Cassilecompte,
If you are not getting any sound from your iPhone’s speaker, you may want to troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

Itunes 11.1.5 (MacBook Pro,OS 10.6.8) will not sync new apps with iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.6 and gives grayed out "install" no message? How does one work around this?
Just reboot your laptop... While its rebooting try to reboot your phone also by holding the home and power buttonn for 10-15 seconds...When your phone is turned off try to connect it to iTunes and it will recognize your phone in recovery mode.
If you have the .ipsw file for iOS 7.0.6 saved in your desktop then in itunes press shift and click on Restore.
Select the ipsw file and let it restore.
If you dont have it downloaded then simply click on restore.
I hope it works
Cheers ! -

My phone has recently stopped sending iMessage even though it has wifi also it has stopped automatically sending it as an SMS when iMessage isn't working I have to manually get it to send as a text message. I haven't changed any settings. Any suggestions?
Try the following:
Go to Settings > Messages > iMessages > disable
Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
let it do it's thing and reset.
Then go to Settings > Messages > iMessages > enable
You'll then have to go back to your Wifi and re-enter your router credentials. -
When i send an imessage from ipad I get the answer most times at the iphone, not at ipad from where i sent the message. Apple ID on both devices is the same. What can i do?
I am sorry, my english isn't very good.
Next try :) I send a iMessage from my ipad (wifi only) to a friend and he answers but i don't receive the answer on the ipad but on the iphone instead. Both devices using the same Apple ID (Settings>Messages>Receive At, same Adress on both devices). I tought iMessages are always received on bothe devices, like the advertisment says i should be able to start a iMessage conversation on ipad and finish it on iphone because both devices receive my iMessages... Thats not like it is on my devices, most times iMessages are only received from the iphone. -
