Recent update 7.1.1 disabled text / imessages

iphone 4s working fine. Updated to 7.1.1 and text messages / imessages sporadically sent. Notification of  unsent message sometime hours late.  the same thing happened after the last update. am I doing something wrong? I'm quite old fashioned and simply want my phone to function without digging through lengthy troubleshooting pages. apple products used to simply 'work' now it seems they create puzzles!

Imessage for me and several of my friends, have simply stopped working recently.  There are several issues, like: iMessage does not connect, it remains in green "texting" mode.  If imessage does come on in 'Blue" it sends and a moment later get the notification "Not sent" - worsed of all, in several instances I have had friends sending me messages which they see as "delivered" but I never got them, and this has also happened for messages that I sent to other contacts.  It's a plain disaster.  I have been troubleshooting my iphone for about a week now, it occasionally starts working then after an hour goes back to simply not working at all.   It's a total iMESS!!!

  • Why does this keep popping up five tabs at a time: Index of file:///C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/ - please note that I recently updated firefox and tried disabling plug-ins, etc. My virus software is up to date. Thanks.

    The page listed above pops up in a Firefox browser window with five tabs open usually when checking email but sometimes while surfing the net and repeatedly. Some include a 'problem loading page' notice with the following:
    Firefox can't find the server at www.xn---jca9qmb.com.
    or
    Firefox can't find the server at www.xn--dx%if-61a864d.com.
    These are the last two of the five tabs that pop up together.
    This has happened nine times in the past five to ten minutes.
    Since my Norton is up to date and I have recently updated Firefox and plug-ins, I assume this is a software problem however disabling plug-ins and other items has not solved the problem. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi
    YES it does, HOWEVER in the past Most (not all) Beta auto updates did not trigger Comodo Firewall problem (BUT occasionally did) and I resolved the same way (namely uninstalling and installing a full install.
    I do not know if having Aurora AND BETA both installed causes any conflicts regarding this issue
    I am NOW going to uninstall Maintenance service, Beta and Aurora retaining only my add-on and preferences. I will delete all Comodo rules for them Then I will download an older update of both Beta and Aurora and see what happens
    Will report back in 30 mins

  • HT5957 I recently updated my iPnone 4 and iPad to the iOS7.0.2 and now if I try to send a message to anyone that has an iPhone it will try to send it as an iMessage and if they are not around a wifi connection it won't try to send it as a text, any sugges

    I recently updated my iPhone 4 and my iPad to the iOS 7.0.2 and now I am having lots of trouble with messaging. I used to be able to send or receive iMessages from other people with iPhones. Or iPads on either of my devises and if the other user was not connected to a wifi connection it would automatically try to send the message as a text message.  Now if I send a message to an iPhone user from my phone and they are not connected to wifi, the message just sits there in limbo, and doesn't notify my that it wasn't sent. I have to manually tap the message and request to send it as a text message, I also can no longer receive picture messages from android phones, and relies to my messages from iPhone users are going to my iPad and not to my phone. Help!!!!

    Try the following:
    Go to Settings > Messages > iMessages > disable
    Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    let it do it's thing and reset.
    Then go to Settings > Messages > iMessages > enable
    You'll then have to go back to your Wifi and re-enter your router credentials.

    My phone was recently updated to 8.1.  After the update, when text messages are sent when my phone is turned off, they no longer appear when I turn the phone on.  Is there something in Settings that needs to be changed?

    MetsFanGirl,
    Thanks for verifying. Are you having issues receiving both iMessages and standard text messages when they are sent when the phone is turned off? Try this and test... http://vz.to/1qjiOs7

    Well, that didn't work since I am already using my appleID for both FaceTime and iMessage but i did see the option to send as SMS when iMessage not available.  so I am now able to send to him  but I don't know if he can send to me.  It's a start.  It is only with his phone.  His wife has a Galaxy and they are both on AT&T and she can send and receive.  I am on sprint.  If that info helps

  • Myself and my partner had a iphones. Since the recent software update he now randomly receives texts from my contacts and also when im sending texts. Is this because we share the same apple id. This didnt happen before the software update.

    myself and my partner had a iphones. Since the recent software update he now randomly receives texts from my contacts and also when im sending texts. Is this because we share the same apple id. This didnt happen before the software update.

    You can both share the same Apple ID for purchases but i suggest one of you use another email for the use of iMessage, Facetime etc.
    It is easy to do, the easiest way is to set up an iCloud email directly from your iPhone. Once set up one of you will use this for iCloud services but both still use the existing Apple ID to make purchases.

  • I recently updated my new iPhone by plugging it in to my laptop. However, it erased all of the texts, contacts and pictures associated with my phone prior to the update. How do I get that information back?

    I owned an iPhone 4s a year ago before I unfortunately lost it. I have since then bought the iPhone 5 but had not plugged it in to my computer yet to download any music. I plugged in my iPhone today to my laptop and my iTunes store stated that it registered that it was a new iPhone and asked if I wanted to restore or update my new iPhone with the information that was backed up on my old one. I chose yes, that I did want to restore the old information in to my new iPhone. However, now that I did that, my new iPhone does not have any of the contacts, texts or pictures that I had already on my new iPhone.
    I desperately want my information back that was lost on my new iPhone when I updated the phone. Is there any way to get those pictures and information back? I logged in to my iCloud account and it still did not help get my pictures, contacts or texts back.

    No such thing has occurred.  iPhones do not backup to one another.
    It is not possible to backup a different iPhone from the one being updated.
    If the iPhone was restored with a backup from a different device, restore it again from the correct backup.

    Pay attention when restoring the iPhone and select the correct backup to restore from.

  • I recently updated my MacBook Pro to the new software, and now my iMessage and my FaceTime are not connected with my computer. How do I get them to match so that I would be able to use my cellphone number?

    I recently updated my MacBook Pro to the new software, and now my iMessage and my FaceTime are not connected with my phone number like it is supposed to be. How do I get them to match so that I would be able to use my cellphone number on my notebook?

    To reset any OS X program just go to the folder and trash the affected files.
    Open a new Finder Window
    Click "Go" in the above status bar
    Click and HOLD the "option/alt" key and you will see "Library" now show in the above list
    Click Library while still holding the option/alt key and a new window will open with all of your system files
    Go to the preference file (NOT Preference Panes)
    Locate a file named <com.apple.FaceTime.bag.plist>
    Locate another file named <com.apple.FaceTime.plist>
    Locate the file <com.apple.iMessage.bag.plist>
    Drag the files to the trash
    Delete the trash
    Close FaceTime and iMessage if not already closed
    Relaunch FaceTime and iMessage from Applications folder
    This should reset the program back to default. You will have to put your information back into the program but it should work.
    Good Luck.

  • Since the recent update, my Text Messages no longer permit me to send messages to more than two people at a time. How do I resolve this issue?

    Since the most recent update, my IPhone 5c no longer permits me to send text messages to more that two people at a time. How can I resolve this to send text messages to more than two people in a group message.

    It would appear that I can send an SMS to multiple contacts, providing that it's not a forwarded message. This means that I have to start from scratcheach time, and then I can send it to over 30 recipients at a time. Not sure why though, and I'm not sure why the sign doesn't appear all of the time as an option for me to press. At other times, it is particially obscured by the curser/text box. This is obviously a glitch in the system, as it happens inconsistently.

  • My imessage is not Working after recent update

    My daughters iMessage &amp; FaceTime no longer work after recent update, can anybody help please?

    It's mostly a server issue because millions of users are trying to do the same. Apple's servers get bogged down. Try waiting a bit - a day - before trying again. You can also check out this for other things to try.

  • I recently updated my ipad to the ios7 and when i input my passcode it didn't take and is now disabled.

    I recently updated my ipad to ios7 last night and today it asked for my passcode but when i went to input it it would not take and is now disabled. How do i unlock it?

    Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
    5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad. Data will be lost.

    Hey X300X,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with iMessages. The following article may help to resolve your issue:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755
    You may also want to reset your network settings:
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Note: this will delete any network related settings (saved Wi-Fi passwords, etc), it will not erase any content from your device.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.
