Texts over two messages not being received

Hi, Whenever I send a text that is two messages (or more) long it isn't being received and this is causing a lot of hassle, has anyone got a way this can be fixed? I've tried deleting the contact but this doesn't seem to work.Cheers

Hi,
Is the text becoming an MMS if over two messages?
What phone and contract do you have (PAYG or monthly Contract)
Thanks,

Messages not being received by one contact

I have one contact that cannot receive my messages I have sent. We both have the iPhone 4s.
When I do try to send a message to him, it shows up 'blue' and no error message is received. My phone recognizes that it is an iMesssage in the message body but he does not ever receive them. When he sends a message to me, I do receive it but it is a regular SMS in green. I have even tried to simply respond to the messages he sends me, they also show up blue, but he doesn't recieve those either.
We both have iMessage 'on', and both are running 3G
I do not have this issue with any other contacts, iPhone user or not
Thanks for any help.

I don't have his email address set up with his contact information, only his cell number. I went so far as to manually enter his phone number into the 'To:' field. Just came up with his name and still sent an iMessage but he did not receive it.
My phone only has one contact card for him and I'm still confused as to why I can receive massages from him but as normal SMS as opposed to iMessage but my iMessage says its sent with no errors and he doesn't receive

Sent messages not being received from my iPhone

Starting about three weeks ago, I began having sporadic issues with text messages (SMS) and iMessages not going through. I don't appear to have a problem RECEIVING messages, other than they sometimes are delayed by as much as 20 minutes.
I have been on the phone with AT&T support - they point their fingers directly at Apple. I have found no help from Apple on the issue (more finger-pointing).
Texts (SMS) to non-iPhone users are 99% working
Texts/Messages to iPhone users who have Messages set up - I can be having a "conversation" with them and the text bubble will change from blue to green... back to blue, back to green from message-to-message. And about 50% of messages sent via "iMessage" are not going through.
Of interest - it appears that Messages sent via my MacBook Pro are not having the same issue.
One item of possible importance - I had to change my iTunes password right before this problem began (I had posted about an unauthorized movie purchase - which Apple took care of, but forced me to change both my password and to use a different funding source).
It was about that time that messages began to act odd.
I have tried all the settings in the "Messages" settings on my iPhone... turning iMessage off - still some SMS messages don't go through. I read somewhere to turn off "Send as SMS" and that forces the issue... that imroved the successful sends somewhat.
I tried removing email addresses from the "Send & Receive" address list... no change. I then added them back... no change.
It all also appears to be totally random. Sometimes all messages go through without a problem... at other times - the problem gets to the point I'm ready to throw my iPhone in the trash.
But all of this still doesn't clearly put the blame on either party... Is Apple's software tring to swap to SMS for no reason, then not actually sending the message at all? Or is the iPhone sending the message - but AT&T isn't handling them? Neither party wants to admit an issue.

Yes - I am aware of (#3) the SMS splitting issue - just thought it rather odd that they come in consistently out of order, regardless of what carrier they come from.
As far as iMesages and Apple system issues - This unforunately is shaping up to be another symptom of internal issues with Apple. Steve would not have tolerated the inconsistent service.
I went to lunch and completely turned off "use iMessages". I then sent several SMS messages, all of which were delivered as expected (though my wife received a photo that I had sent her two months ago at the same time!).
I then switched iMessages back on and tested it - and so far, all messages have gone through as they should. I am wondering if Apple's server issues might have needed some kind of "reset" of my account by going through this again... who knows.
Either way - so much for the old Apple addage "it just works"....

Email & Messages not being received promptly

I recently updated to 8.0.2 and since then I have not been able to receive messages and emails promptly. I have checked my setting for notification on locked screen and it is set to on. The only way I can get them is to to it manually. I have also checked the automatic button in settings. This is aggravating me! Can someone help please!

I have had several messages sent to my @vtext.com address and so far I have not received a single one. I can send from my phone to an email and it is received with no problems from my @vtext.com address, but even when I reply to the message sent from my phone I still never receive it on my mobile device. I have registered with Vtext, so I'm not really sure what the issue is. Any ideas?
Hi ambied20,
The way you would be able to get the replies to your mobile device is by logging into My Verizon and refer over to Vtext.com. Then when a message is sent to you, go into the check text status tab, select the radio button for receiving your reply to your mobile device. If you have need of any additional assistance, PM me your information. I'll contact you with helping you with this process.

Why is my text message not being delivered

Why is my messages not being delivered?

1. Messages on the iPad can only be sent to other iDevices
2. The receiving party must also be registered with iMessage
Note: The two above conditions must be met.

Mail suddenly not being received from server. The ISP tells me there's nothing wrong at his end. I can see emails on the server if I look up WebMail; they don't come into Mail. I haven't changed anything lately.

Mail suddenly not being received from server. The ISP tells me there's nothing wrong at his end. I can see emails on the server if I look up WebMail; they don't come into Mail. I haven't changed anything lately. The incoming server details haven't changed; the Connection Doctor shows the accounts are connected; I've turned everything off including the modern. Have exhausted my limited knowledge. Anyone with something similar?

I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

Yahoo e-mails are not being received on iphone 4.

Yahoo e-mails are not being received on iphone 4. I had to go website to retrieve about 50 emails from last couple of days. Everything looks correct in settings and I haven't changed anything that I know of. Please help if you've encountered this issue.

I tried the suggestion of deleting the account and starting over from scratch (twice), to no avail.

Samsung note II, known issue of aol mail not being received on phone

I spent hours on the phone with Customer Service this past Wednesday & Thursday because my aol mail is not being received on my new phone. I just did some research online, and found out this has been an issue with AOL and Verizon since December 2012. The Customer Service rep told me this just happened the past week! What a bold faced lie!
I purchased this phone on or about July 3, and the AOL mail was working fine until this past Wednesday.
This is a know issue, and yet the lie right to your face about it.
I had a C/S rep tell me he would call me back later in the day, before he left work. I told him, I have heard that before. Oh, no, I will call you. Of course he didn't call. Your C/S reps think they can say whatever they want, but the calls have been monitored or tracked someway by your computer system.
I see many others have the same problem with the Samsung Note II and their email accounts.
Since December this has been going on, don't you think it's time you fixed the problem?
Two years ago, when I spent $200 on a phone, I said never again. But yet I wanted a 5.5" screen so I paid up! Never again!

I FINALLY spoke to someone today who was able to solve my problem so far.
In the PLAY STORE....look for K9 email app.....and download that...put in your AOL email address and password. You should now be able to receive your aol email on your phone.
It seems he has a Note II also, and had the same problem.
You would think that MANAGEMENT would tell all their C/S reps how to solve the problem. I guess they would rather lose a customer who has been with them for 10 yrs.

Only Incoming emails not being received on Mac Mail

Hello,
I am able to receive incoming emails on my Blackberry as well as my Webmail, but since a couple of days, my incoming Emails are just not being received on my Mac Mail, specific to 1 Account only. I have multiple accounts on my Mac Mail.
Please assist.

Hello Shadab333
Start with using Connection Doctor to see if there is anything that is preventing it from receiving email. Depending on the settings of that email address in Mail you may not receive them once they have been checked elsewhere. Check out the article below to troubleshoot the issue further.

Email notifications not being received

Email notifications are not being received every time a customers submits data. We stopped receiving notifications after the email came about shutting down the service. We have a half dozen forms live on the web and none of them are sending out notifications. One example is located at Online Complaint | ORCAA. Nothing has changed from the backend and both email addresses that should receive notifications are verified.
I submitted data to the form and received a notification, but not the 2 email addresses that are listed on the FormsCentral backend. The Adobe domain is whitelisted with GApps.
Thoughts?

I've tested your form a bit and it seems that email receipts are working. For me to test email notifications I would need to be a co-author. If you can add me to one of the problem forms I will investigate further and let you know what I find.

I'm being asked to enter my ID password on my ipad for icloud, but the email is no longer active and reset remails are not being received.

I'm being asked to enter my ID pswd on my ipad 2 for icloud. but the email address and ID are no longer being used, and reset emails are not being received. How can I deactivate this? I have another ID which works fine, but this issue with the old ID is not allowing me to use my ipad. thanks.

If your iPad is signed into an old ID and you are trying to change it, if the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Sharing photos by email - Emails are not being received

My photos which I have shared by email are not being received, even though I have a confirmation that they have been sent (one photo has been sent).
I am using a @me.com email address and I have tried to send a photo to myself and this has still not been come through.

Do you have iPhoto setup to email the photos itself or use Mail to email the photos?
Happy Holidays
