My iPhone won't receive group messages but I can send them ?

I've received group messages and sent them before on my iPhone 4S . Until recently I received group messages extremely late . And now I cannot receive group messages at all . I can start group messages and send them but I can't receive the messages that the people in the group send . My group messaging is on and I have already tried turning off my phone and turning it back on . I can receive regular text messages in one on one conversations perfectly fine . I don't really know what else to do ! Please help !

Did you ever find the answer? I'm having the same problem?

oh and fyi i do use handcent text app and that has nothing to do with receiving pictures trust me i've tried it.

Hi,
Check the File Transfer window (See Window Menu).
Does this say they Arrived ?
If it shows an spyglass icon does this open them or at least show where they are on your computer ?
It should place them in ~/Library/Messages/Attachments in strangely titled folder and sub folders.
However it Write to this folder via ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.iChat/Data/Library/Messages and then an Alias to the attachments folder.
You should check you have permissions to Write to the Actual Attachments folder and all the possible routes to that folder.

Hi Tnolen15,
If you are having issues sending or receiving messages from a specific contact (in this case, your wife), you may find this portion of the following article helpful (ignore the numbering):
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 recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.

The calendar will remain on the server and should be restored when you add back the account. Regardless of that, you can back up a calendar by exporting it:

Can read group messages, but unable to send.

I have just factory reset my iPhone 5 to factory settings, using iOS 7.0.4 and I am unable to send group messages.
I can turn off group messages and am able to send them to individual users but can't send the group a message and have it stay in group. I get a red excalamation mark almost immediately before it's even trying to send.
I use iMessage one-on-one fine
SMS one-on-one fine
group message impossible to send, but able to see
What gives?

try entering the username and password for the outgoing mail server and see if that helps.
If your still having troubles, look at this link.

I am having the same issue with my daughters phones. I believe its an issue with Pantech. My daughter has a Pantech Crux and is able to make calls, receive calls, and send text messages but she is not able to receive any messages. My other daughter has a Pantech Hotshot and is having the exact same issue. We contacted Verizon and went through all of the troubleshooting necessary and even reset the phone and it still didn't work. Verizon sent out a replacement phone today (Crux) and the issue is still not resolved. This tells me it's an issue with Pantech... maybe a software update was done?? Both of my daughters are teenagers and mainly communicate through text messaging, so I am sure anyone can understand that they are in crisis LOL. Any suggestions on what to do next?

Phone won't receive some messages and has trouble sending

My phone will not receive messages and has trouble sending them. I receive some messages but then my phone goes crazy and just keeps vibrating and nothing shows up. how do i fix this?

Mail program not recieiving messages, but I can send. I use .Mac to get mai

My Mail program is not receiving messages all of a sudden. But I can send.
I have to get my mail at .Mac. Just tried fixing permissions. No luck yet. I just sent myself an email and it came into .Mac but not to my Mail program.
What have I done?
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

You're welcome.
More than likely .Mac but to confirm, at the menu bar for the Mail application go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts.
Under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences, what is shown next to Account Type?
If .Mac, a .Mac type account with the Mail application is really an IMAP account and behaves in the same way so try using the Rebuild Mailbox function on the Inbox mailbox for your .Mac account.
If there is a black triangle to the left of Inbox in the mailboxes drawer, select it pointing it down to reveal your .Mac account named Inbox mailbox. Select the mailbox and at the menu bar go to Mailbox and select Rebuild.
All messages in the message list for the account's Inbox mailbox will disappear temporarily and the mailbox will be resynchronized with the server.

I'm in a group message with 12 people. All are iPhone users, except for the token Galaxy user. I can receive messages, but I cannot send them. How can I fix this?

Title says it all

Hey kenth93939!
Here is an article for you about group messages that has some helpful information and troubleshooting tips for this issue:
iOS: Understanding group messaging
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5760
The Group Messaging setting applies only to MMS messages.
Your wireless carrier may restrict the maximum number of recipients allowed in a group message with MMS.
Disabling Group Messaging has no effect on iMessage behavior. Responses to group iMessages are always sent to all recipients.
Group messaging with MMS requires an appropriate plan from your carrier for use on iPhone.
Carrier messaging rates may apply when using group messaging with MMS.
Additional Information
It is not possible to remove yourself from a group message.
To add or remove recipients, you must create a new group message conversation.
If you experience an issue with iMessage, SMS, or MMS messaging, try the steps outlined in this article.
To learn more about SMS, MMS, and iMessage see iOS: Using Messages.

Iphone 5 receives text messages but will not send text messages

Since yesterday my boyfriends iphone 5 will not send text messages. He can receive them but when he goes to reply it doesnt work. He has turned his phone off and on and that seems to work for awhile but then the same problem happens again where he cannot send a text message. Was wondering if there was any way in fixing this or why his phone is all of a sudden doing this.

So I should update this. The phone actually loses service, I have reset the network connection as well as I have updated the carrier settings and the phone is still losing service randomly. I called the carrier and they told me there is nothhing they can do unless we bring the phone in, they believe it could be the sim card because everything on their end looks to be fine. So I'll be going to the carrier store this evening to see if they can fix the problem if not then I will be going to the apple store. Do hope this problem gets fixed soon.

I can not receive text messages from an android but I can send them

The other day my boyfriend's phone stopped working. He already had an android phone and our messages were working fine. But ever since he got a new phone(it's the same kind of LG phone he had before) I can SEND messages to him fine, but I can not receive ANY of his messages he sends to me. I have tried everything to resetting the network, turning imessage on and off, and resetting my phone countless times. I have even redid his contact, erased our old messages. But it is still not working! Can anybody help me? This is very frustrating.
Thank You

1. Turn off iMessage on the iPhone, then restore it as new.
2. Go to www.icloud.com and remove the iPhone from your AppleID.
3. Change your Apple ID password.
4. Change the primary email address of your Apple ID.
