    settings - message - imessage - is turned ON?  Do you have it activated?
    Make sure you have a good wifi or cellular data connection.
    Also you can only imessage other apple products who have imessage on.

  • I continually have problems when browsing with Google yahoo simply grabs my search and will not let me go back to google. I have tried everything I can think of

    This happens on my macbook pro and my I mack. Also on my PC but only on firefox.

    Hi TheJohnParr, for your Thunderbird (email client) issue, I suggest having a different question for that, and we could focus on your Firefox search engine issue in this thread.
    You can review, disable, and usually remove extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Command+Shift+a
    * Tools menu > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
    Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Any improvement?
    By the way, the address bar works a bit different from the search boxes (home page search box or toolbar search box). If you enter a single word without spaces in the address bar (e.g., hobbit or mozilla.org) then Firefox will first check with your service provider on whether it is a known server name. Sometimes these queries are hijacked by your service provider to show you search results. By comparing your search in the address bar and the search box, you can see whether this is the issue.

  • A particular site has a message capability, but I can not send or receive messages.

    The web site Ashley Madison has a built-in messaging capability. I can not send or receive messages on this site. I tried the same thing on another person's computer and it worked. Is something blocking out this capability?

    Java Plug-in 1.6.0_10 for Netscape Navigator (DLL Helper) is too old for 3.6.8, you need 1.6.0_15 or higher with the Next Generation Plugin.

    Yes I have turned imessage off a number of times and that does not seem to he doing the trick, and it is not delivering them then I have to press on the photo and either chose try again or send as text message, I have had the setting on to not allow sending pictures as texts (so they can only send as imessage) since I got my phone in January and it has always worked until now, I have turned that off to allow me to send them as picture messages now but it's still not working over iMessage, I have also tried it using 3G and not wifi

  • My iphone 4 will not send and receive text messages at random times

    My iphone 4 will not send and receive text messages at random times.  My brother has the same phone, lives in the same home and doesn't have this problem.  I can't receive messages without my iphone displaying a message asking for my phone number at random times. It happens intermittently.  Does anyone know why this happens? I am referring to regula text messages not imessages.  I have turned it off and also updated to the most recent software. thanks

    I've been an AT&T customer since they were under different names in the 90s and have never heard/seen that. I would check with them. I'd really like to see that error. To get a screenshot on the phone, press the home button and sleep/wake button together quickly and release. You will see the screen flash slightly and hear the camera shutter noise.

  • TS2755 Since updating my iphone to ios7 my phone will not send or receive imessages. Please help?

    Hi there,
    Can anyone help? Since updating my iphone to the latest ios7 my phone will not send or receive imessages and is now very slow.

    Go to Settings>Messages> turn iMessage off. The go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. Do a reset on the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, go back into Settings>Messages and turn on iMessage. See if it activates.
    Apple has acknowldged an issue with iMessage and is working on an update. Look for that to be released sometime this week.

  • Since update, will not send or receive picture messages unless using imesage

    Since the I0S6 update, my phone will not send or receive picture messages unless it's being sent through iMessage.
    I know of other people having the same problem, with different versions of the phone and different carriers.
    Anyone else?
    I have the iPhone 4 with Sprint.
    Friend has the iPhone 4s with Verizon.

    Check settings/message and make sure MMS is ON.  Also chcek that your carrier/your plan allows sending of pictures over MMS

    Thunderbird will not send or receive email in Windows 8.1 unless I re-install it. The next time I open Thunderbird it is again broken. So, I have to repeat the un-install / re-install process. Currently I am using Version 31.0, but this was happening the the previous version as well.

    That really sounds like anti virus scanning to me. Try rebooting your machine into safe mode with networking and see if it works correctly then.
