Q1:  I cannot send imessages anymore

I have been able to send imessages from my ipad to my wife's iphone until october 30 of this year.  Now, whenever I send an imessage from my ipad, i just get the message "sending" while the status bar lingers at about 90%.  Neither of us has upgraded to the new iOS 8.X due to the fact that it totally rendered ny 4S useless and we both need to be able to use our devices.
Thanks for any help.

  • TS3899 Cannot send emails anymore since getting the 5s

    I have just upgraded to the 5s from 4s and I cannot send emails anymore although I can receive them. My email account still works on my ipad. I have deleted the account a few times and reset the phone completely but still no joy. Any ideas what to do next?

    Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Your Account > Account Name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and enter your email account and password. Make sure things are filled in properly.

  • IMessage Problem: cannot send iMessage to a specific contact!

    So here is the problem:
    It's about 24 hours I cannot send iMessage to a specific contact only! Both of us have access to the internet and both of us can send iMessages to other contacts.
    We have tried rebooting the phone, and turning iMessage on and off.
    If it matters, we both live in Sweden and use different MNOs but still we are both on Wifi and cannot send and receive iMessages.
    Could anyone give me and idea of what to do?!
    Oh..and Apple...your iMessage is reaaaaaaally bougus.. do something about this pile of crap.

    I had this problem with my sister living in Austria and I am in the States and at first I wondered if it was some international problem.
    Are you sure you both have your apple ID's programmed into your contacts? For some reason it wasn't registering my sister's phone number as an iPhone but when I added her apple ID e-mail, it sends fine. I just have to iMessage her to THAT particular e-mail. That's the only way I was able to sort this same problem. iMessaging her to that e-mail works just fine.
    I've iMessaged people in the states before just using their phone number only and not having their apple ID e-mail but with messaging to my sister in Austria, I have to use her e-mail. Wondering if anyone else has this issue with international iMessaging? I've iMessaged someone in Australia before with just their phone number and it worked fine so maybe it's completely random? I don't know. But definitely check and see if you have their apple ID in there in their contact information and try to iMessage them on that. See if it works! It did for me.

  • Cannot send imessages to my contact anymore

    am currently using iphone 5s with latest updates.
    I was sending imessages to my contact till now. I was in a different city 2 days ago and was having trouble sending imessages so when the error message was provided to me saying "message not delivered" I checked the option of send the message as "text message". Now I am back in my home town and would like to communicate via imessage and my iphone will not allow me to send imessages to my contact anymore. The message I send goes like a text message which is in green.
    please help I like Imessage

    No. That was the first thing we checked. I am not blocked. And we can call each other without a problem.
    But like I said... if I RESEND the text and check "send as text message" (it will show up green on my iPhone instead of blue), he will receive it then. But on his phone, when he receives it, it still reads as a blue iMessage.

  • Cannot send iMessages to one of my contacts

    I have a new iPhone 5s.  iMessages work with all of my other iPhone contacts, but one.  It worked with him intermittently and now has stopped completely.   For a few days the only thing I could do was send him Texts (which came up in green on my screen), but he never received them.  And when I 'push' the iMessages out as a text, he never get them.  When I try to send this one contact an iMessage, it immediately comes up with "not delivered" with a '!' symbol.   I re-try several times but it doesn't work.  I have shut messages off and on several time, shut my phone off and restarted it, deleted him from my contact list and added back.  Nothing seems to work.  He cannot send me anything either.  He has an older iPhone, without the upgrade (I think) and he says I have a green dot, not a blue one.  I don't know the old operating system, so I don't know what he has on his screen.   Please, please help.  It is important that I have easy messaging capability with this contact.  Sorry to be so long...  but the AT&T store people were not able to help me.  Very frustrating!

    It may be an issue at Apple's end. Check the link below.

  • I cannot send iMessages to some ppl who have an iPhone connected to the internet

    My iPhone is not recognizing some other iPhones connected to the internet among my contacts. Hence we cannot use iMessages, e en though their iMessage option is switched on in the settings. In other cases i can send iMessages using their apple ID instead of their number. it is a bit complicated.
    Any ideas?

    Hey "AppleTechGenius"...you realize the thread you're posting to is almost two years old, & the OP has not posted since that original post, correct?

  • IPad 2 iOS 5 cannot send iMessage to others

    Hello All
    I am using iPhone 4 and iPad 2 with iOS 5. From iPhone no problems to send iMessage. But from iPad 2 I can't send any message by email, also to my self. It getting error faild to deliver.
    Could anyone suggest something, how to solve the issue?
    Thanks

    You can turn off the SMS feature in the iMessages settings so if it cant send as an iMessage, it wont send as a text instead.
    Once you do that, you wont have to worry about being billed anymore for the normal rate of texts. Some people can have their phone number attached to their Apple ID so even if you send it to their phone number, it will send as an iMessage. You can look at that by going into Settings>Messages>Send & Recieve At> and you will see any phone numbers and emails attached to the Apple ID which you can message to.
    Try turning that off as stated above and try to send a iMessage to their phone number.

  • Contacts are red, cannot send iMessages

    I am unable to send iMessages on a new iPad, contacts are coming up red even though they are indeed registered iMessage accounts (which I have been messaging successfully from an iPod for a long time), I have logged into iMessage properly and haven't changed my Apple ID. My WiFi is working correctly. I am baffled. Have read through the forum and answers are always "...iPads cannot send SMS message to any other device without an Apple ID" but again, the contacts are definitely registered. Please help. Thank you.

    Problem solved! When setting up the new iPad, I used the family Apple ID that we have for iTunes/App Store rather than the Apple ID I use as my contact address - thankfully didn't have much loaded on the iPad, so I just erased all content & settings, restored to factory settings, and re-setup the iPad using the contact ID, set up iMessage / Facetime, and then added the iTunes/App Store ID after the fact. Everything works now. (note if anyone else needs to do this, backup your info first or it will be gone - I didn't back up as there was nothing worth losing on the device). Thank you tech support!

  • I cannot send imessage!

    Hi there,
    I have a problem with imessage.
    Even though Safari and Facetime works totally fine, I cannot send imsg ONLY at home. (My sister cannot also send imsg ONLY at home)
    I'm using iphone 5s and macbook pro 2012. So does my sister.
    I could send and receive imsg anytime, but it suddenly happened.
    The weird thing is that I can send imsg at anywhere else EXCEPT my home!!
    I reset the network settings of every single device I have.
    I tried ALL ways people always say. (Turn off imsg -> Logout apple id -> Reset network settings -> Turn off the iphone -> ..... )
    Is this a problem of my wifi router?
    Or is it just ios problem?
    Or what else..
    I have no idea how to make them work fine..
    Help me!!

  • Cannot send email anymore from IPad Air

    >>Duplicate post removed to comply with the Verizon Wireless Terms of Service   Please see Cannot send email from my IPad Air<<
    Message was edited by: Verizon Moderator

    Thanks.  I got the problem fixed.  Spent time with the Apple folks and was kicked up to a senior advisor.  It seems the problem was with my internet provider - Tmie Warner.  Remember I could use the old ipad and the iphone to send mail.  I checked all the specifics between the three units.  It seems that TW is changing over from the RR.com  to TWC.com.  Since the new ipad air was just set up, it fell under the new TWC mail specifics.
