Text messages dont come in unless i am in a wifi area, text messages dont come in unless i am in a wifi area

Is there something I have done to my phone since I cannot get text messages unless I am in a wifi area?

Contact your carrier and make sure that you have SMS enabled on your account.

Why when i text on my iphone, i dont get my message there, but they come up on my ipad?

Help

Good Morning julio.herrera1,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you need to update the settings on your iPhone to send and receive Messages. Here's how:
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201349
Your iPhone telephone number is linked to your Apple ID when you sign in to FaceTime or iMessage. This allows you to use your iPhone number with FaceTime and iMessage on other iOS devices.
You can sign in to your Apple ID on an iPhone by tapping Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.
On iOS devices, find out which addresses are enabled with FaceTime and iMessage by tapping:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You can be reached by iMessage at:
Have a great day!

I have created PDF from hardcopy by using my scanner. After I run OCR option for my PDF by using Acrobat Pro 9. But "Text-to-speech" functionality of the PDF says that an error message comes up that says the page is empty when I turns on the read out loud

I have created PDF from hardcopy by using my scanner. After I run OCR option for my PDF by using Acrobat Pro 9. But "Text-to-speech" functionality of the PDF says that an error message comes up that says the page is empty when I turns on the read out loud option in Acrobat. Kindly help me to sortout this problems?

So I tried generating the same PDFs on two other computers that have Acrobat 9 Pro. Results were reproduced. The verdict is:
- complex PDF files (that is, containing cross-references, tables of contents, and bookmarks) generated by Acrobat 9.x Pro are roughly 2-5x larger than the identical file generated with Acrobat 8.x Pro.
- different PDF conversion settings make a negligable difference (less than 10% rather than 70-80%).
- using the "Reduce File Size" or "Optimize PDF" option cuts the file size roughly in half, almost always resulting in a "image downsampling mask" warning message, which requires acknowledgement (that is a problem for batch processing or automation).
- adding an Acrobat watermark to the file cuts the file size roughly in half.
- just using Save As to another filename has no effect on file size.
- generating the PDF in Acrobat 9 with links but no PDF bookmarks still results in the inflated file size.
- generating the PDF in Acrobat 9 without any links or bookmarks results in approximately the same file size as the Acrobat 8 PDF with full links and bookmarks.
It appears that Acrobat 9's manner of adding links is what's bloating the files, and in my case it's probably not related to images or image resolution/print quality. It's a shame, because Acrobat 9 seems to have made some improvements to the Review Tracker interface, and a few other bells and whistles which I haven't really gotten around to exporing yet. But unless I find a way to keep my links and the PDF file sizes comparable to what I was getting with Acrobat 8 Pro, it looks like I'm going to stay with Acrobat 8.

My TEXT messages are not coming in except for when im on wifi...this never happened before to me! if i turn Imessage OFF on my phone and ipad it still doesnt come in! HELP

im not getting my TEXT messages anymore until i get around Wifi and then they flow in....i have Imessage on on both iphone and ipad...i tried turning OFF Imessage and they still dont come in!

If they are coming in when you are around wifi, are the bubbles blue or green? SMS messages (green) are cellular and wifi would have nothing to do with this. They won't be carried over wifi. If they are blue bubbles, then they are iMessages and are coming in when you get to wifi because you are finally able to receive data, since you say you have cellular data turned off.

Why do text messages from one att phone come in garbled like %^&KYY

my girlfriend has a blackberry storm 9550.
all works well with only one exception.
when her sister, who has an ATT phone, sends her text messages they appear to be all scrambled.
no other messages from anybody else ever comes in like that....any ideas why this happens?
this is driving both of them crazy and we dont know how to fix the problem.
thanks
Rock

Also ask her if she's trying to use any strange characters in the message. Generally, that's a problem the other way (iPhone emoji often show up as gibberish or cause complete message corruption on non-iphones) but, it's worth a question.
Best of luck.

Try this...
have a text convo with the person you want to delete. Go to the top contact in the text convo, hit edit contact, and delete that contact.
That resolution came from another thread on this issue, and this did solve to poster's issue.

You can turn iMessage off on your iPhone. That's relatively easy. Since iMessage is an Apple product/service, I have no idea how a Samsung phone will deal with an incoming one. For that answer you should probably contact Samsung support.

Imessages not sending/ receiving. All texts made to other iphone users produce an error message where it shows as it was unable to deliver, however, the messages go through, but error still comes up after each imessage sent. this does this for each text

I have the Iphone 5S. Over the last few days, I continually get mail delivery errors when imessages are sent to any contacts who have iphones. I have spoken to my friends/ family who are also on the receiving/ sending end of my messages. They also say that they are receiving an error/ mail delivery error when they send imessages to my phone. Text messages are working fine (with other phones that are not iphones) and no delivery errors come up. However, it is just with me sending or receiving imessages. I have gone in to settings> messages> send & receive and all my information is right. I have also attempted to cut the phone off and back on (hard reset as well) and this has not fixed the problem. I then explored to see if my software was out of date, however, i have the most up to date software for the iphone 5 S. Does anyone know of a way to fix this problem, as it is annoying to both me and anyone else who has an iphone that sends me a text/ imessage as it will *alert* that there was a delivery failure.
Please help!!

There could be a problem with iMessage, although usually when there is an outage these boards are flooded with problems. It could be a very isolated issue, and if just started all of a sudden, it might be something at Apple.
Although it is annoying, I would just wait it out a few days and see if it goes away on its own.

After aborted rebuild in Mail: I can see and select the message in the center pane and when I click on it to display, I get "Loading" text, but nothing comes up

I have searched quite a bit to find a resolution to this problem, with no success. Any help would be appreciated.
I decided to rebuild my inboxes by following this advice: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11704. The rebuild took several hours and at 96% (4 minutes remaining apparently), the indexing froze (that is, after 8 hours, the message was still telling me "4 minutes left"). I forced quit mail, restored the previous Envelope files from the trash, and everything seemed fine.
However, since this failed attempt, I can see and select the message in the center pane and when I click on it to display, I get "Loading" text, but nothing comes up. All messages in my various inboxes have the reloading problem, EXCEPT messages that I downloaded since the aborted rebuild (in other words, there are about 40 messages that I downloaded since I tried the rebuild and I have no problem with these). The other 70,000 messages however wont load, even though I can see them in the centre pane and spotlight has no problem finding them and showing me their contents (when I hover the mouse over the message). When I click on the message in spotlight, mail opens and the loading problem re-occurs.
Since then, based on various suggestions I found for similar issues, I have used Disk Utility to verify and repair permissions and the drive. I used Onix to rebuild the Mail index (that only took about a minute - I am not sure how to interpret this when compared to the hours the rebuild took with Mail). No joy, I still have the same problem. I even restored one of my inboxes via Time Machine and the same issue with loading continues.
I am using ML 10.8.2. I have a combination of IMAP accounts (work) and POP accounts (personal). The issue of loading occurs irrespective of the account.
I am baffled and am now considering migrating to either Thunderbird or Postbox 3 to try and solve my problem. I prefer to stay with Mail. I should note also that I am using MailTags with Mail (http://www.indev.ca/MailTags.html), although I have not used any of the features. I upgraded to ML from SL about 2 weeks ago. It was very smooth and there appear to be no issues (not sure how helpful this is and probably not at all related to this issue).
Any suggestions much appreciated!

Email messages don't come in unless I

My messages won't come in unless I turn my phone off and on again. They all come in at once then quit again. I have to do this every time I check for messages. Help! It is costing me work since this is how i get my work orders. I have a blackberry curve 8330. My carrier is Sprint.

Yep, there is no reason for that. It sounds like you are losing your network connection or something.
Do this first: Reboot your device in this way: With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot.
Then, if after a few days if the issue continues, do this:
1. Options > Advanced > Host Routing Table > Menu > Register.
2. Resend your service books from your carrier BIS site.
From your handheld device: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB15402
From your desktop PC: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02830
3. With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot

HT5622 My husband and I both have iPhones. We are currently using the same Apple ID. I have my own ID but when I send him a text message it comes back to me or goes to my computer. How do we separate the 2 ID's so we can send messages?

You need to reconfigure your phone for use with your Apple ID. I suggest you restore yours as new then reconfigure it with your information and Apple ID. Be sure to disable Find My Phone, if it's enabled, before proceeding.
Locked Out, Forgot Lock or Restrictions Passcode, or Need to Restore Your Device: Several Alternative Solutions

You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

Since the last update for my Iphone 4s i dont get text messages when connected to wifi. my wife is getting them. Imessage is switched off on both phones.

since the 6. version update. of my Iphone 4s My wife was getting my text messages. I found the problem was caused by Imessage when connected to Wifi. I deactivated Imessage on both phones to solve the problem. I now have updated my Iphone to 6.1.1 and i dont get text messages anymore. I have Imessage deactivated on my phone but my wife is getting my text messages again. my wifes phone was not updated to 6.1.1 because the last update lost all her contacts from her phone and we had to but them back in one by one from the outlook list. Her contact are listed in outlook on a seperate list to mine but we can only get my contacts download to her phone. We use the same laptop to sysc phones.
My Iphone does not download photos to My Pictures anymore. I have to copy them across to a folder. I cant find where it backs them up to.
I have lost all confidence in Apple now as i was forced to update to 6.1.1 because of 3G reception issues and not reciving calls and now back to spending several hours trying to fix my phone to recieve a basic text message.

Are you and your wife sharing apple id?
If you are that is the reason why she is seeing your imessage.
On both phone go to settings - message - send&receive - make sure the cell is the default.
You will have to uncheck or remove the apple id.

Can I Turn off iMessage in a group text with multiple people with different devices? There's 1 person in the group text that doesn't use iPhone anymore and they can't see any messages that are sent unless we send as regular text individually.

Is there a way to turn off iMessage for a group text that includes multiple people with different non-apple devices? When a message is sent, only the iPhone users can see the iMessage. Those without them cannot see the texts unless we send individual Text Messages or turn off iMessage completely.

now I have this and it still doesn't work.
