My phone will send and receive iMessages except for one contact
hello?
Hello Danielx566,
It sounds like your phone is not charging at all and is now unable to turn on because of it. I recomend these troubleshooting steps in the following article named:
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
Plug the device in to power and let it charge for up to 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Difficulties sending and receiving iMessages
Is anyone else having difficulties sending and receiving iMessages since installing IOS 7? Mine just keep saying "sending..." In the end I am having to send them as text messages to get them through.
I had hoped the recent fix would resolve the issue, but it hasn't. Text messages seem to be ok, the problem is with iMessage.
Any suggestions on how to over come this?
Many thanks
SLCIt seems that Apple is aware of the issue and working already on a fix for that that should be released "immediately"

Hopefully we won't have to wait too long this time. -
My wife and I share the same email address and Apple ID. We are not able to send and receive Text Messages to one another. Is the cause of this because we share the same Apple ID? Will we have to set up 2 separate primary email addresses to be able to send and receive Tex Messages to one another? Like I said, we share the same email address and woul like to keep it that way to keep up with our email together. Is there a way to by-pass having to set up 2 primary emaill addresses if this is the problem?
Thanks.go to the settings and turn off imessage
but that don't change the issue that you will never be able to facetime eachtoher
the appleID is really meant as the handle that identify you it was not meant to be shared
but can see that people may want to do not buy apps more then once -

You do not have a "phone number". Your ipad has a cellular access number and can't make phone calls.
You must use your apple ID email for imessage and FaceTime on iPad. -
IOS 8 - send and receive iMessages
With iOS 7, I used to be able to receive iMessages at two phone numbers. There was an option under iMessage - Send and Receive. I used that to monitor my son's messages. Now with iOS 8, I can only see my phone number under Send and Receive, and some email addresses, other phone lines under the same iCloud account are not listed anymore. Does anybody know how to fix that? Thank you very much.
go to settings, general, reset, reset all settings. this causes the phone to reset and finishes installing certain iOS 8 features in iMessage like self destruct, etc. and will fix any glitches you're having. it has worked for myself and everyone else I have shared it with.

HT5622 Unable to send and receive iMessages, help!

I am having issues sending pictures via iMessage to only one of my contacts. They can send me pictures through iMessage so why are mine coming back undelivered?
Have managed to get it working.
It might be as simple as switching the other phone completely off, and resetting it...
I say this because I have no idea how I finally managed to get it working again. I tried so many things. Removing all the iMessage addresses. Sending messages from the computer, iPad...etc and found that the weakest link was my wife's phone. It wasn't receiving iMessage pictures from ANYONE (not just me). That allowed me to narrow down the possibilities somewhat.
Let me know if simply resetting the other person's phone fixes the problem.

I have an Iphone 5 and Love it. Except for one thing; I recently changed from ymail email account to a gmail account. I updated it on the
Apple/ Itunes site and it does accept the change. I can still access the APP store and Itunes.
However, sometimes I get a pop up box from Apple showing the old email address and asking me to sign in..... I hit cancel and move on. But, now Icloud keeps popping up promting me to sign in and it shows the old email which I don't have anymore.... I tried signing in with the old info to clear it off screen of my phone but, it doesn't allow and I hit cancel and it goes away. only to appear later again.... This is so frustrating and annoying. Is there any way to get the Icloud to update the email address with my Apple ID log in info--without having to delete stuff or lose things on my phone?
Please help?
DiaThank you for replying. Yes I deleted the old email address..

BBM and PIN not working for one contact!
For one BBM contact I cannot send BBMs or PIN anymore. It is driving me crazy.
When I send a PIN i get the message "service blocked" and a red cross. BBMs will send, I get the tick but no D or R. This is only happening with one contact. He is having problems only with me as well. We can send each other text messages etc. We are both in the UK and with o2. Previously i've had no problems with BBM.
Does anyone know what's wrong?
It's so frustratng because this contact is the reason I bought a blackberry and he bought one, so we could use bbm as he works in an area with bad reception.Hello katie_d,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community.
