My Iphone is no longer accepting or sending i messages. I have already rest it. How do I fix it?

Hey walteka,
You're on the right track by starting off your troubleshooting with a restart. I found this article that details other troubleshooting steps to try:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
It is very detailed and I would read through it all, but I would concentrate on the "If you still can't send or receive iMessages" section.
Cheers,
David

After my last iOS update my iphone 4 no longer syncs with my macbook. How do I fix that?

Is the device recognized in iTunes? What happens when you try to sync? What have you done to try and correct it? Before anyone can recommend anything, they need to know a little more information.

Outlook 2010 is an email client that runs on a PC. It does not run on an iPhone at all.
Is this a corporate email account? What did your IT department say when you went to them about the problem?
The ability to correctly process meeting requests when using an Exchange server depends on the version of Exchange your organization is running. It has nothing to do with what mail client you use on your PC.

Why am I no longer able to send text messages on S...

why am I no longer able to send text messages on Skype

In order to send SMS messages (to non-iPhone/iPad users), you need to have your iPad connected to an iPhone. Both devices need to be logged into the same Apple ID. On the iPhone, go to Settings>Messages>Text Message Forwarding and select your iPad.

I had been using iMessage all along with my friend who is using an iPhone 6. I choose to send a sms to him as I do not have any connection, after that there is no way I can send him an iMessage again. Can anyone advise how do I switch back?

I had tried resetting the network setting, toggling off the sms but to no avail.
Thank you.

What do you mean you choose to send him an SMS because you don't have any connection. What kind of connection? Delete the thread with that individual that you sent via SMS, and as long as you have iMessage activated on your device and your friend has an active data connection, it should recognize that and send as an iMessage. Another scenario is to have the friend send you a message that you can respond to.

I have a Tritton TRI-BC200 hands free device that my iPhone 5 no longer "sees" on Bluetooth, so, I cannot pair the device. Anyone have a suggestion? Tritton no longer supports the device.

I had this problem and what I did was: read the user manual. I was actually using the wrong buttons to put the Tri-BC200 on pairing mode. I also boot my I phone. Everything worked OK. Regards.

Lets ensure your service device is running in top form! What email account are you using? ( ie, Google, Yahoo, etc) Have you removed and re-added the e-mail address since this occurring?

IMessage and Facetime won't activate on new iphone 5. Both indicate "Waiting for Activation." How do I fix?

iMessage and Facetime won't activate on new iphone 5. Both indicate "Waiting for Activation." How do I fix?

I just activated a new iphone 4s and restored from a backup of my former iphone 3gs - had the same problem - Waiting for Activation on both facetime and imessage. I tried all the usual fixes, reset all, hard reset, turn facetime/imessage on and off, and on and on. 2 hours on phone with tech support to no avail.
I just found the fix on my own - no clue if it will work for everyone. But it's ridiculously easy and worth a shot so you don't waste hours and hours resetting/synching as I did.
All I did was go into settings>phone>my number - erase it by touching the ">". Then re-enter it making sure to input with the "+" and country code. For example in the US: +1(508) 569-9901
No hard reset necessary. I went into settings>facetime and imessage, immediately after inputting my phone number again and the dreaded "waiting for activation" message was gone. I tested sending a message - came thru to the other party fine and facetiming another device (my mom's ipad some distance away) and it rang thru with everything working properly i.e., video/audio.

My iphone 4 is no longer accepting or sending i messages. How do I fix it? I have already reset phone.
