Not receiving iMessages after attempting to link accounts by adding additional email address.

I tried to link my daughters iMessages (iPod) to my account (iPhone). On my iphone I went to settings/ messages/ send and receive/ add another email. I was told that I could not add her email address and was directed to 'cancel' or 'remove email address'. I chose to remove it and was told that 'you will no longer be able to receive iMessages from (email address) on any device. Foolishly I continued and now she is not receiving her messages. How can I get them back?

Go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and sign out of your ID and then sign in again.

  • IPhone 5s not receiving iMessages after upgrading to iOS 8

    After upgrading to iOS 8 my iPhone 5s is not receiving iMessages from the rest of the family. My phone shows up green instead of blue on the other phones. I have tried all kinds of resets, turning off/on iMessages, etc. Nothing has worked so far. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

  • Not receiving iMessages after i updated my iphone 4 to iOS 7

    Hello,
    Once i updated my iphone to the new ios 7 update, i haven't been able to receieve any imessages after i updated it. But I was able to read them on my ipad, but i couldn't recieve them on my iphone.

    Most likely the iphone was hacked to unlock it from the original carrier
    updating the iOS will relock a hacked iPhone to that Carrier

  • All of a sudden this morning my iphone will not send imessages from my phone number but only from my email address. When I go to the settings for my imessages to choose where they are coming from my phone number is greyed out....Is there a way to fix this

    All of a sudden this morning my iphone will not send imessages from my phone....

    Hi Chas869,
    Hmm, that is strange that your phone number is greyed out. There are a few things that we can try. First would be to turn iMessages off, then back on. See if you are able to select your phone number. Then if that doesn't work, turn iMessages back off, then reset the network settings....settings>general>reset>reset network settings, this will reboot the phone. Don't worry, it won't delete anything from the phone, it simulates a battery pull. Once the device comes back on, then turn iMessages back on. Keep us posted if that works!

  • IMessage for Mac not receiving messages after ios8 upgrade

    I recently updated my iPhone 5 to iOS8, however, after doing this my Macbook Pro now does not receive iMessages and is unable to send them. Can anyone give me some help to get the iMessages on the mac working again? Thanks.

    Hey DenholOliver,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are not receiving iMessages on your MacBook Pro since updating your iPhone 5 to iOS 8. Let’s check to see that your phone number and Apple ID are setup correctly on both of the devices:

  • After downloading Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta to my desktop I restarted the computer, but I do not receive any prompts to create an account with a Secret Password. How do I set up the account if the prompt never show up?

    Several months ago I installed the Firefox Home app on my iPhone to sync the bookmarks that I had on my Windows XP home computer. It has worked just fine until a few days ago. Just recently I was notified that the app would no longer work because of changes that have been made. I have tried to follow the instructions that were emailed to me regarding how to setup the new Firefox Sync add-on, but I am having a problem. After downloading Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta to my desktop and restarting my computer, I do not receive any prompts to create an account with a password and a secret phrase, as the instructions specify. How do I set up the account if the prompt never shows up?

    Click on the Firefox button then select Options to open the Options dialog. Now go to the Sync panel for the option to setup a new account.

  • Still not receiving iMessages on my Mac

    I am Still not receiving iMessages on my Mac, even after the Moutain Lion 10.8.2 update and iOS6 on my iPhone 4S.  Does anyone know how to solve this?
    I was under the impression that after the 10.8.2 update and iOS6 and having all of the correct preferences checked new iMessages from someone else would also show up on my Mac and iPad.  Can someone please help and advise?
    Thanks!

    William,
    Thanks so much for your reply and attention to this matter!  I actually figured out last night that I did not have the right boxes checked within the Preferences of iMessage on my Mac.  PROBLEM SOLVED!!!
    Now if you could just help me solve my last issue!  See below...

  • After upgrading my iPhone 4S to iOS6, my Find My Friends app no longer links to my Contacts and does not show contact names. It only shows e-mail addresses and does not link up to the corresponding email address in my Contacts. How can I fix this?

    I am also having problems with a site I am building. No matter what websafe font I use it displays as New Times Roman in FireFox. The correct fonts show in both IE9 and Chrome.
    In addition, text shifts in FireFox. I have to position other text objects farther and farther apart as I go down the page or they start to overlap. Nav buttons and other images also have to be positioned in the wrong place for them to be in the correct place when the page is opened in FireFox. FireFox should display pages correctly by default. I can't expect th average user to have to tweek his/her settings to display my site.
    I have been recommending FireFox on my website as the best browser. I might have to change that and abandon FireFox myself.

  • Why am i not receiving iMessages on my phone but when i log onto my mac they are all there?

    I am not getting my iMessages on my phone. but when in log onto my mac they come up on my messages here. what can i do o fix this i need to be able to recieve meaages on my phone on the go.

    I think you answered your own question.  If I read what your wrote correctly, you sent yourself a message to your phone number and you are wondering why it was not recieved on your iPad?  If that is what you wrote, the reason is your iPad is not a cell phone and messages sent to a cell number, will not be received on your iPad.  To send a message from your iPhone to your iPad using iMessage, you need to send the message to the email address you specified when you set up iMessage on your iPad. 

  • Iphone 3gs will not turn on after attempting a factory restore

    My iphone 3gs will not turn on after attempting a factory restore, all that happens is the apple logo appears the timer goes round then stops.  It then switches itself on and off several times to no avail.
    The only way I can turn it off now is by holding the off button and the home button, but then it goes into the cycle again.
    Any advice gretly appreciated.

  • HT4484 app store account see my daughter email address not mine.

    my daughter took over our shared itune account.  I created and can see a new account in itunes and iCloud reset 4s, but my macbook pro app store account see her email address not mine.  I did us my old email address.  how do i change the app store acount information to my account?

    You can sign into the Apple Services using either the Apple ID (is this the "primary email" address on my apple id account?)
    the iCloud email address (is this [email protected]?)
    or your associated address (other associated email addresses that I verified on my apple id account?),
    In your case the Apple ID and primary address are [email protected] The iCloud email address or alternate address in your case is [email protected] and associated addresses are iCloud email aliases, I don't know if you have created any of these.
    but it will show you logged in as using the Apple ID. (which apple id?, what will display?)*
    * for me it displays the [email protected] for find my iphone, imessage and facetime, but NOT itunes/store
    Yes with some things like FaceTime and Messages you can send and receive in any of the addresses you have related to your Apple ID, but it will always list your Apple ID as [email protected]
