Only one friend I can't send iMessages to... ?!

I have an iPhone 4. My friend has a 4s. We can't send each other iMessages. Verizon says there is nothing wrong on their end. It's Apple related.  Apple customer service had me check on the iOS (we're both up to date). I tried sending iMessages from the email address instead of the phone number. No luck. Also wiped phone clean then restored.  No luck.  Deleted all purchased apps, signed out of App store & iMessage with that Apple ID... created a brand new Apple ID.  Signed in to iMessage with new apple ID... No luck.
It is just this one friend that I can't message with.  When I turn off my iMessage, we can text just fine.  When iMessage is on, the messages will always say "delivered" but when I ask her, she hasn't gotten any.  She also sends some to me that I never receive.
I have a case ID# from my last conversation (10 days ago) but when I type it into the website, it doesn't recognize it.  Not sure if 10 days was too long to wait to follow up on this same case.  Trying to chat but the website says I have to pay $19 for one time support?!
If I had known it would be so annoying to have an iPhone, I would have considered all my options.
Please help me figure out why I can't message this one friend!

Well, after reading some other discussions, I signed out and  back in with my original apple ID.  I started a fresh iMessage to this friend using her EMAIL address not her phone number.  It is working now and showign up on her phone as an iMessage!  Thank goodness. Wish I understood why...

  • Can't send iMessage to one person

    I just got my iPhone 6 yesterday and its already giving me problems. I can't send imessages to one contact which happens to be my boyfriend. on my iPhone 5 which had iOS 8 it was fine but now nothing. it was working fine for a bit but just stopped working an hour ago. I tried rebooting my phone, restarting the thread, restarting all the networks, sending as texts, literally everything and nothing works. please help me fix this, out of every contact it's my boyfriend who just lost his best friend and I can't even text him back. I'm so frustrated and can't make my way to an apple store for another 6 hours.

    Hi there katie22xo.
    According to the article below, it looks like you may need delete the thread and create a new one.
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages 
    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.

  • The wifi at my school isn't very good. And I can't send iMessages through it. It works for some apps like score center and my radar app, but doesn't work for other apps like clash of clans and iMessage. How can I get it to work on that  wifi network

    The wifi at my school isn't very good. And I can't send iMessages through it. It works for some apps like score center and my radar app, but doesn't work for other apps like clash of clans and iMessage. How can I get it to work on my school wifi. I have an iPhone 4S on AT&T and iOS 7.04

    In a roaming network, your "main" router is the device that would require port mapping/forwarding to be configured in order to access the IP camera from the Internet. This router is also the one that would be provide the private IP address for the camera which you will want to be a static one.
    So as you described your network, the IP cameras should be getting an IP address or you assigned it a static one and this is the address that you would enter in the Private IP address (or equivalent depending on the router used) field when setting up port mapping.
    If you are not able to access this camera from the local network, then this should be troubleshot first.

  • I can't send iMessage to some people who I used to be able to, prior to iOS7 upgrade.

    I can't send iMessage to some people who I used to be able to, prior to iOS7 upgrade. I'm sure these people are still using iPhones. Is there something to do with my settings? Or theirs?

    I got my problem solved but I'm not sure what solved it. I DFU mode my iPhone and then restarted it, the other person only restarted it and now we can iMessage normally. Recently I had the same issue with a new contact but the next day got solved but I didn't do anything.
    I hope this gives you some answers insetad of more questions =S...
    Regards.

  • Can't send iMessage via E-mail

    I can't send iMessage via E-mail.
    There is no possiblity of typing '@' '.' etc.
    Sending new message (iMessage) looks like this:
    Everyting is activated.

    My only other suggestions is add the email to a contact in your phone.  When you type that contact's name, their email show pop-up below as an option.  If that doesn't work, I don't know. Sorry.

    can i send imessage to any non ios devices like any andriod phone?

    I'm pretty sure you are full of it unless it was for a specific carrier messaging option. you CANNOT use iMessage with android devices. only iPhones, iPod and iPad running iOS 5.1.

    Yes you certainly can.

    Before the service reset function. Wait 24 hours to activate imessage.

    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

    Then there should be no issue for you.

    Then there is more than one Apple ID involved.... Or a Restrictions Passcode has been set.

  • Unable to install SSL Certificate - ADMIN4118: Only one server certificate can be installed at a time

    Hi,
    We are trying to install SSL certificate (Verisign Class 3) on iPlanet Web Server (version 7). However, at the final step we are getting the error "ADMIN4118: Only one server certificate can be installed at a time"
    We are following the below steps,
    Under "Server Certificates" tab,
         -> Click on "Install" button.
         -> On "Select Configuration" click on "Next" button.
         -> On "Select Tokens and Passwords", select default token as "internal" and click on "Next" button.
         -> On "Enter Certificate Data", select option as "Certficate File" and give path to the certificate file which is having .p7b extension
         -> On "Certificate Details" we are getting warning as "Duplicate Server Details Found" and it's by default using the existing certificate's nickname.
         -> On "Review" page after clicking "Finish" button, an error is displayed saying "ADMIN4118: Only one certificate server can be installed at a time"
    There are multiple sub-domains availble and the new certificate we want to install contains one more sub-domain.
    So, say currently the subdomains present are,
    1.abc.com
    2.abc.com
    so on...
    and now we are trying to install a SSL certificate having one more subdomain say 10.abc.com.
    Please let us know if you have solution to this problem.
    Thanks,
    Rajesh

    Hi Rajesh,
    That error is most commonly seen when you are trying to install a certificate chain into the Web Server.
    The chain should be installed using the "Certificate Authorities" tab per the following steps:
    1) Login to the Admin Console.
    2) Click Edit Configuration from Common Tasks > Configuration Tasks.
    3) Click the Certificates > Certificate Authorities tab from the Configurations page.
    4) Click the Install... tab from the Certificate Authorities (CAs) page.
    An Install CA Certificate Wizard opens. The wizard guides you through the settings available for installing a Certificate Chain. Select Certificate Chain when prompted for Certificate Type.
    You should then see the CA and intermediate certificate(s) listed in the security database.
    If you have access to MOS, more details can be found in the MOS KM Note:
       Oracle iPlanet Web Server - 'ADMIN4118: Only one server certificate can be installed at a time' When Installing Certificate Chain (Doc ID 1925025.1)

  • Is it only one chance i can initialize array with int [] a={3,2,1}

    is it only one chance i can initialize array with int [] a={3,2,1}
    ===============================
    class InitializeArrayTest
         int [] a;     //i need keep a[] global
         public static void main(String args[])throws IOException
                   //a=new int[] { 3, 2, 1};//can not complie<========why here is wrong
                   a=new int[3];//also can not
                   a={3,2,1};     //I want to use {3,2,1} as data for simple test purpose here for other method
    }

    so if static means only one instance allowed
    for what reason there is no compiler error in the
    coding below
         static int [] preSort;
         public B(int i)
    int []preSort=new int; //<======why no syntax
    You are declaring a new local variable called preSort, which has scope to the end of the constructor.

  • Why Left and Right Joins if only one of them can serve the same purpose?

    I understand that left join is used to display all the records from left table whereas the right join is used to display all the records from right table in a join.
    However, if we switch the positions of the join tables and perform left join we can get all the records of the left table.
    A left join B -> will give all records from A
    A right join B ->will give all records from B
    B left join A -> will again give all records from B.
    The order in which the data is displayed(ie the field order) can also be maintained in the SELECT clause.
    So, Why do we have left and right joins separately in existance, when only one of them can serve the same purpose?

    Hi,
    I think it's because it is sometime more natural to outer join on left or right.
    In your data model (or the query you are writing), there is some kind of hierarchy between tables : I feel more natural to have the table with lowest hierarchical level (the root table) on the left. So I sometimes prefer to right outer join...
    This is a very personal feeling, I must admit.
    To me what is strange is to have chosen left and right as they refer to a "latin" reading direction => forward join and backward join would be more meaningful for people that read from right to left.
    +And I prefer the new joining syntax that doesn't us the {noformat}(+){noformat} sign...+
