SMS relay via Iphone 6 NOT working - why?

Hey all.
So I upgraded to Yosemite. Looks nice.
The "receive calls on your Mac" feature works fine on both my MacBook Air and my iMac. Not sure how much I'll use it though.
However, the function where you can send non iMessage texts via iMessage (i.e. regular SMS) is NOT working for some odd reason.
I get the usual "red" on the name I'm trying to send a message to and an error pop-up that this person is not hooked up to iMessage.
Shouldn't this just work? Or is there something I need to do tick off first?
I can place calls on my iPhone 6 via my Macs just fine - it's just the SMS function that's not active for some reason.
Hope someone can help - because this is a function I've really looked forward to and know I'll be using a LOT.
Best,
Jesper

I saw somewhere else in the forums that this  feature would work as of iOS 8.1 due out Monday....  but honestly don't know if there's any basis to that...  it's just a couple of days... why don't you wait and install iOS 8.1 on your phone and then try again...

  • Emails via Iphone not working any more

    Hi, I have a email account with yahoo, did work perfectly till today, after sending emails via Iphone nothing is happening, no message in fowlder sent and also the recipient does not get my mail. Tested: sending photo via email and text email
    Second problem: I had twice that my Iphone did not react at all on touching the screen, had to shut down the phone and switch it on again.....
    Has anyone any ideas, and sorry for my english....

    Yahoo mail on the iphone has an issue with sending emails that have attachments, like a picture, usually it does not send at all or if it does the attachment is gone. I think its because the iphone still uses yahoo mail classic which handles attachments strangely. So if the emails your sending that are disappearing have attachments then thats why. I've found that when dealing with attachments it works better if you use the mobile version of yahoo.
    As for the touch stopping working...probably just the nature of software and OS's in general. They all crash and freeze up and all have to be rebooted from time to time.

  • Specific videos copy to iPhone not working why?

    There are a series of long YouTube videos that I would like to save, and later copy to my iPhone for permanent keeping.
    I used TubeTV to download the videos, and set it to convert them to iPhone format. It did so, and I imported them into iTunes, where they play fine. I then dragged them into a "Video Copy To iPhone" playlist that contains several videos I want synced with my iPhone.
    After syncing, those videos do not get transferred.
    I wondered if there was something funny about the TubeTV destination format, so I used iTunes's menu option to "Convert for iPhone/iPod" then, after those conversions were done, dragged the new copies into that playlist, and synced. The videos STILL do not sync.
    Other videos in that playlist do sync fine.
    Any ideas?
    (BTW, I moved the videos into the Air Sharing app, and they play fine in there, so it's not like they are incompatible with the iPhone.)

    Sboq solved it -- I didn't know that only TV shows (not movies) can be synced via playlists.
    Grrrrr...it's frustrating that there are so many hidden rules like this that aren't obvious. Theoretically, if I create a playlist called "Video Sync To iPhone" and tell it to always sync this playlist with my iPhone, what does it matter if it's a movie vs. a TV show...?
    Anyway, thank you -- switching this YouTube video to a TV show (instead of a movie, the default) caused it to sync the way I wanted it to.

    These prices are for the U.S.
    Out-of-Warranty Service
    If you own an iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will service your iPhone for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below.
    iPhone model          Out-of-Warranty Service
    iPhone 5          $229
    iPhone 4S          $199
    iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS,
    iPhone 3G, Original iPhone          $149
    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in U.S. dollars and are subject to local tax.
    When setting up out-of-warranty service, Apple will request credit card pre-authorization for the maximum service fee listed above.  This amount will be deducted from your credit limit. The final service fee we charge will be determined during testing and may be less than the service fee listed above.
    Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPhone that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service.
    Apple reserves the right to determine whether or not your iPhone is eligible for Out-of-Warranty service. iPhones that are repaired or replaced have a 90-day limited hardware warranty or assume the remainder of your standard warranty or AppleCare service contract coverage, whichever is longer. Please see Apple's Repair Terms And Conditions for further details.

  • My new iPhone 4S speaker not working why?

  • HT204065 Group text with one non iPhone not working on iPhone 6 in the group.

    Group text with one non iPhone not working on one iPhone 6 in group. SMS, MMS and iMessage as well as group messaging are all turned on. Has worked intermittently but now cannot see or respond in that particular chain. Can send independently to the non iPhone (Samsung) but not in group. Other iPhone 6 and 5 in group work fine.

    The reason why you have to turn off 3Gs is because T-Mobile does not support iPhones 1700 something or other. You have to turn off the 3Gs on the iPhone to make it work.
    As already provided, it shouldn't matter since the iPhone is designed to automatically connect to the fastest internet connection available. If wi-fi access and 3G network access is on, when in range of an available wi-fi network you have access to and have connected your iPhone with previously, the iPhone will connect to the wi-fi network automatically. When leaving the range of the wi-fi network, the iPhone will connect to the 3G network if 3G network access is available. If 3G network access is not available, the iPhone will connect to EDGE or GPRS - whichever is available at the time.
    If this is unique to T-Mobile's network with the iPhone for some reason since T-Mobile is not an official carrier for the iPhone in the U.S. and you were instructed by T-Mobile to do so, then you need to do so.
    If this is not working now, the problem lies with T-Mobile and I have no idea what to tell them for them to recognize where the problem lies on their end.

  • Find my iPhone not working

    My son's iPhone 4s was locked a few months ago by some friends who were playing a joke on him.  They input the wrong passcode over and over again until it was locked indefinietly.  I had to restore the iPhone using a method I found online and got his phone working again.  I didn't realize it until recently, but his Find My iPhone app no longer works.  It is on and logged in as my Apple ID (although I have to continually put the password in).  Anytime I try to use Find My iPhone to locate his phone, it shows me that his phone is offline.  Even when I open the app on his phone and try to locate his phone, it says it's offline.
    I feel that this issue has something to do with the restore that I did.  I don't remember exactly HOW I restored the phone, but know I used iTunes.  I've checked his settings for Location Services and Find My iPhone...All are active and Find My iPhone is active on my sons phone. His phone is also updated to the most recent iOS software. The wierd thing is, I CAN find him or his phone using the Find Friends app.  He has a tendency to misplace his phone in our home and the Find My iPhone app is great because it allows me to send a signal to play a sound to help us locate it.  The Find Friends app doesn't have that capability.  Has anyone else had an issue with Find My iPhone not working after a restore?

    Usually Apple recommended the below steps :
    Why your iPhone (iPad, or iPod Touch) not appear in Find My iPhone?
    Here are some reasons:
    Your iCloud account is not configured on your device. Choose Settings > iCloud and enter your iCloud account information.
    Your device is not update. It needs to be running iOS 5 or higher.
    The date is incorrect on your device. Choose Settings > General > Date & Time to check and set the date.
    Your device has lost network connectivity. If you have access to your device, and it appears to have an active Internet connection, in this case enable and then disable Airplane mode or turn the device off and back on.
    Your device appears in Find My iPhone, but is offline, the reasons:
    Your device is powered off, such as when the battery has run out.
    Your iPhone’s cellular service has been terminated by your wireless service provider.
    Your iPod Touch, iPad, or Mac is asleep and not connected to a known Wi-Fi network. The command will be processed when your device is awakened and connected to the Internet.

    Well the error message is in Swedish but says: The installation program database is damaged. Please contact the Adobe support (which is a hard thing to do!!). I use Windows 7 Home Premium with service pack 1.
