My TEXT messages are not coming in except for when im on wifi...this never happened before to me!  if i turn Imessage OFF on my phone and ipad it still doesnt come in! HELP

im not getting my TEXT messages anymore until i get around Wifi and then they flow in....i have Imessage on on both iphone and ipad...i tried turning OFF Imessage and they still dont come in!

If they are coming in when you are around wifi, are the bubbles blue or green? SMS messages (green) are cellular and wifi would have nothing to do with this. They won't be carried over wifi. If they are blue bubbles, then they are iMessages and are coming in when you get to wifi because you are finally able to receive data, since you say you have cellular data turned off.

  • I restarted my mac and many apps and files disappeared. It's like it booted to a state several months ago. My CS 5 apps are not in the dock or applications folder. Has this ever happened before and what can I do?

    It's like it booted to a state it was in several months ago. My CS 5 apps are not in the dock or applications folder. Has this ever happened before and what can I do?
    The files on my desktop are not the ones that were there when I shut down. It's like it's gone back in time.
    My display's power supply got fried (I think) in a power outage so I bought a new one. However, every time I restart the display usually stays black. I have found I need to keep rebooting until it kicks in and starts working. I unplug everything, wait a while (a few minutes to overnight) and try booting again.
    This last time the display finally came on but I'm faced with this problem. I used to use time machine, but I deleted everything and disabled it a couple months ago or more so I'm at aloss as to why the mac is booting into the state it was in sevearl months ago.
    What could I have done to cause this? Has this ever happened to anyone else and is there a solution?
    Note: I did a search for a file I knew was created today. I found it and it showed that it was a file I had saved on the desktop this morning--even though that file's icon is not appearing on the desktop now.
    I did a search for photoshop and saw my CS5 version listed.
    However, I did a couple more searches and these files no longer appear in the search. I don't know if they're there or not. This is bizarre!
    I'm on a Mac Pro, 10.6.2.

    Thanks for the obvious question. I mean it. The very same thought came to me this morning and, sure enough, I had booted into another drive--my old one that, of course, had the old desktop, etc.
    It didn't dawn on me that this was the case since I hadn't set it as a boot drive but I guess in the course of all the restarts I did, it got switched.
    I'm back to normal again.

  • Is VZ Messages App working?... I'm using the app on my iPhone and iPad amd new received text messages are not coming in. Sent messages is working just fine!

    VZ

        That's odd jway502, let's look into it. Are you not receiving them on the iPhone and tablet, or just on your Messages website? Did you check the native messages app? Do you receive them there? Is it iPhone to iPhone?

    MY text messages are not being delivered. Keep coming back with the red saying "Not Delivered". Anyone know why this all of a sudden started happening and how to fix it?

    Thank You Meg St._Clair contacted my carrier and fixed the problem on my iPhone 6 but still an issue on my iPad mini  
    Carrier could not fix the problem so said I would have to plug my iPad into my Mac and back it up and then restore factory settings

  • Since upgrading to iOS7 some text messages are not being sent, iMessage on my Ipad and MacBook doesn't have my phone number registered and my reminder colour on my Iphone keeps changing ... among other things

    Since upgrading to iOS7 some text messages are not being sent on my iPhone 5, iMessage on my Ipads and MacBook doesn't have my phone number registered and my reminder colour on my Iphone keeps changing ... among other things. Any suggestions to fix these faults?

    Make sure People Sending you via iMessage are sending their messages on your PHONE number not on your EMAIL addresses . My sister had the same problem, thats how i managed to solve it!

    i updated the spelling of a song in my itunes but its not reflecting when i check my ipod. this never happened before when after i updated to IOS5. please help.

    Try unsyncing the sone and then resyncing. That works sometimes. Sometimes restoring from backup works. Other times nothing seems to work.. Yuo are not alone since iOS5 and iTunes 10.5/6.

  • When I try to migrate from imac to macbook pro my user account says this user needs attention before migrating. My e-mail does not migrate in the process. this never happened before i updated to Maverick

    When I try to migrate from imac to macbook pro my user account says "this user needs attention before migrating". My e-mail does not migrate in the process. This never happened before I updated to Maverick. I have repaired user permissions but this not make any difference

    Just a Follow-up - the migration went fine. The migration did not import Little Snitch, Flip4Mac and DivX, stating they were incompatible.  It also reported that Intego Back up Assistant has improper security setting (which I have not yet investigated).
    I am encountering small problems.  Safari would not open embedded pdf documents and instead showed a black screen.  This was fixed with instructions found at http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html and it now works fine.
    Importing 17 years of old mail from Eudora to Apple Mail was time consuming. mostly because of the pre-migration preening i did, but using Eudora file cleaner before the migrtaion helped a lot.
    I amy find some more glitches, but so far everything seems to be working.

    i just dowloaded an il divo album.  when it was placed on my ipod classic it came in as 8 different songs; not listed as 1 album with 8 songs.  this has happened before with other purchases.  Why?  How can I insure an entire album is saved as an entire album and not individual songs. And now how can I move individual songs to the album they belong in?

    I seem to have fixed it by putting <div  class="clearfloat"></div> after the navigation bar?

  • How come my text messages are not going through as iMessages?

    I've been having this problem for a few weeks now. When someone texts me from an iPhone with iMessage, I get their texts as a regular text message. Sometimes there text messages come in "s p a c e d o u t l i k e t h i s". I will also get multiple texts as well. When I respond to their text message, it usually goes through as an iMessage but when they respond, still a text message. Does anyone know why this could be happening or what I can do to fix it? I never did the last software upgrade if that helps. I ran into a lot of problems with the previous upgrade so I decided to just never upgrade again.

    When you start a new imessage then you get your address book so you can choose who you send it to. There you get the option to choose a number or the email. Then take the email address. If you don`t have one then you must get there email and put it in your address book. Try it

  • Text messages are not making sounds anymore.

    I have the sound on and when I send and receive text messages, I do not hear the alert. I also do not hear the keystrokes.
    Speaker phone works when I get a call but I can't hear texts or keystrokes, or the keypad when I am placing a call.
    When I plug in the earphones I hear the sounds fine. I pluged in an unplugged the headphones. I also turned on and off the device.
    Is speakerphone separate from other sounds??
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    (I have an iphone 4 on iOS5)

  • Why does my signal drops and takes a long time to search and connect when I turn on or off my cellular data? And normal text messages are not getting delivered properly. It shows sent but later it will show try again, Is it just me?

    I do not know what the problem is, but after the latest update it is really hard to send text messages. It is taking alot of time to send the messages, it is not the problem with the carrier because sending text messages with the same number in the same area is really easy on my normal nokia 1100. Please suggest me what I should check. Second problem I am facing is the carrier signal drops to nothing when I turn on the cellular data. It has to then search for the network and connect again the same happens when I turn the data off again. Please tell a solution. I do not think it is the problem with the hardware because the phone is hardly 2weeks old and everything was working properly with ios 6. It initaly had problem with the battery on updating to ios7 but that was rectified with the new update but again these are the new issues am facing.

    This may sound stupid, but I'm gonna throw it out there anyway. Is it possible, that if I have enough junk on my desktop it might disrupt the signal? It seems odd, but it kind of looks like my signal is strong and relatively steady now that I've cleaned my desktop. I do tend to get very cluttered. I use a lot of reference images and save text clippings to use later... it just piles up very quickly.
    So, I wonder if all that extra effort my system has to do keeping up with the junk might have something to do with the drop outs?
