Problem sending iMessage from MacBook

I've got a problem. Maybe it's nothing serious but I still need you gyus to help me So I have 2014 MacBook Pro 15. When I bought the Mac and paired it to my Iphone 5 with message forwarding everything was fine and I was able to send iMessages and also SMS but now I can only send SMS but not iMessages. When I try to send iMessage it just instantly shows "Not Delivered". I tried everything resetting network settings(on Iphone), restarting Iphone, tried some tricks with Airplaine Mode and switching iMessage off/on and everything is up to date, this did not worked. Then I tried to forward messages to my Ipad and I was able to send iMessages from it. So I guess the problem is in the Mac but I can't find where is the problem. I opened Messages preferences and signed out and in to my Apple ID, also changed "Start new conversation from" from my apple ID to my phone number and to my iCloud account and back, still did not work. Restarted Mac. Also logged out of Mac's iCloud account and back in, and guess what, still did not worked. I really tried everything I could find on the google. So please guys do you have any idea what could be the problem?

HT201253 How do I sync my iPad 2 to my iPhone 5? I'm having problems sending iMessages from my iPhone 5 to my iPad 2

I Have an iPad 2 and an iPhone 5... I'm having problems iMessaging between the two devices...my iPad 2 is not getting any messages/ pictures sent from my iPhone 5. I am also unable to sync them...
Can anyone help?

Hello, Deb2015.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that messages sent and received from your iPhone are not showing up on your iPad. I would check to make sure you have an internet connection on the iPad as this could be the cause. If the issue persists, try the troubleshooting steps in the article below.

I've resolved my problem now. It wasn't iphoto: preferences:@ that I needed but iphoto:preferences:general where there is the option to choose email for sending photos. Can't believe I missed that before.

How can I send imessages from my phone number instead of my email?

My phone reset and now my imessages only send from my email address instead of from my phone number. I tried settings> messages> send and receive and unchecked the email listed like i saw to try on previous questions, but instead of fixing my problem, it just made it so that now i cant send imessages whatsoever! How can i fix this? I just want to send imessages from my number instead of my email address!

Hi gracem0324,
Go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, and click on your Apple ID and sign out of Messages. Then sign on again. Sometimes it needs to reset itself....

I want to send iMessages from my email address

I seem to have the opposite problem of most iMessage users. I want my iMessage to use my email address to send messages, NOT my phone number.
I am currently living overseas, but all of my contacts are still back home, so I want to use iMessage with my email address, since my email address is permanent, while my overseas phone number is temporary. I have set up iMessage to start all conversations from my email address. This has worked for several months, but occasionally it will switch back to using my phone number, breaking up the conversation on the recipient's phone. Although my contacts all iMessage me from their email addresses (to ensure they don't get dinged for overseas SMS), occasionally my phone will receive messages from their phone numbers, breaking up the conversation on my phone.
iOS appears to choose sending iMessages from phone numbers and email addresses at random. How do I ensure that my phone consistently uses my email address for messages, as it is set up to do?
Thanks.

Settings > Message > Send & Receive > Start New Conversations From ...
Of course, this will apply only to new conversations. If you are replying to something that someone else sent to your email address, then it will be sent from your email address.

We are having problems sending iMessages we have reset but still having problems. Also Icalls cutting off.

We are having problems sending IMessages they are not sending have reset but still having problems. Also calls are cutting out or not connecting

This is a known issue with Apple. I can't sent iMessages either...It' doesn't matter how many times I power down my phone, delete messages or disconnect from wifi...Very frustrating.

Can you send iMessages from one iPad to another? If so how can I do this? Thanks

I have just got a new iPad and I'm wondering if you can send iMessages from one iPad to another? We are currently trying this out and can only send iMessages from an iPad to an iPhone is this correct? Thanks

You can use the Messages app to send messages to any iOS device or to a Mac running Mountain Lion. So yes you can send a message to another iPad.
Both iPads have to have Messages set up and you need to contact the other iPad using an email addresses as the "you can be reached at" email address.
Do you have it set up correctly on both iPads?

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!

Has anyone an Intermittent Problem sending mail from Mac OS X (10.6.8)?

I have a Mac mini operating on Mac OS X(10.6.8) Snow Leopard. In the last couple of weeks I have been having intermittent problems sending mail from Mac MAIL, especially if I hit the reply button. It whirls around for ever and then tells me to 'Try Later' or 'Try Again'. When I shut down my computer and open up mail again, I hear the mail whizzing off. I have just tried it now and it went in the time that it has taken me to compose this email. But sometimes the mail doesn't go at all. Could it me because I have too many messages in my inbox and sent boxes (around 1000 in each)? I read somewhere that you should delete Mail in library/pref/com.apple.mail.plst and reinstal it. But I'm frightened to do this in case I can't re-instal it as I don't know how to.

Problem sending mail from iPhone

Hello
I have a problem sending mails from a Horde account in iPhone 5S. I guess the problem is about configuring the outgoing mail server, but I tried several things and nothing seams to work. The message I get is :
"Can't send mail. No password provided for account x
Please go to Mail account settings and enter a password"
Here goes the detailed configuration of the SMTP:
SMTP server: mail.account.pt
User name and Password: xxxxxx
SSL: OFF
Authentication: Password
Server port:587
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for your help!
Best regards,
Pedro

After talking with my e-mail service provider I understood some more configurations, which might help you to help me:
SMTP Settings:
Authentication method: encrypted password
Connection Security: STARTTLS
How can I copy these settings into my iPhone 5S? In Authetication there's only the following options:
Password, MD5 challenge-response, HTTP MD5 Digest and NTLM...
Thank you!
Best regards,
Pedro Santos

Cant send imessage from iphone 6

when i try to send imessage from my iphone 6, i get error message that i must turn on MMS.
However in my settings there is no option from enabling MMS. Pl advise
sudhirnagpal

Hi sudhirnagpal,
For MMS, that option should be in Settings > Messages with an option to just toggle on a off. I have provided and image that will show the location. If you are still having issues with sending a message, then take a look at the article below for more information.

Any ideas?
