TS2755 I can't receive messages on my iPhone 4?? It will let me send them just not receive, and this happens on text and iMessage. Help anyone?!

I have a iPhone 4 on contract and every now and then it will stop receiving messages when I am in the middle of a conversation. I don't use iMessage as I sometimes go over the limit of my Internet data. So I stick with SMS. And even when I do try with iMessage I still can't receive messages. I don't know if this is a on fault on the phone but it's a really bad downfall if its common on most iPhones. Don't get me wrong but I love this phone I think it's great but it's annoying when I can't receive messages. And at this moment
In time I still can't receive them. Been happening for 12 hours now and it's never been this long usually, advice anyone?

Hi Tnolen15,
If you are having issues sending or receiving messages from a specific contact (in this case, your wife), you may find this portion of the following article helpful (ignore the numbering):
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.

    Most likely your carrier has not enabled texting on your phone.

  • My mac mail won't let me receive emails but will let me send them. How do i fix this ?

    my mac mail won't let me receive emails but will let me send them. How do i fix this ?

    I am intermittently having the same problem. I can send email, but once the Mail application is opened, it will only pull emails in from the server one time and then I have to "Force Quit" and restart the application to receive incoming mail again.  I've tried restarting the computer. I've made sure I have all the system updates. I've checked for conflicts between applications and so far nothing fixes the problem. Once in a while, Mail starts functioning normally on its own, but in a few days it goes back to the same old problem. Has anyone figured out what if going on with this isse?

  • I recently had to swap out my iphone 4s and I am having problems restoring photos and videos from icloud.  I get a message on my phone that says " the URL you are requesting is not found on this server".  Pics and videos have been deleted too.

    I recently had to swap out my iphone 4s and I am having problems restoring photos and videos from icloud.  When I restored my phone from icloud, half of my pics and videos have been deleted, the pics that were restored on my phone are very blurry, and the videos won't play.  I get a message on my phone that says " the URL you are requesting is not found on this server".  I have erased and reset my phone twice, but every time I do it, more pics and videos are deleted.  I have backed up to icloud and iphoto, however, some of the pics are no longer on iphoto either.  Is there someway to get the videos to play on my phone again?  Make the photos not as blurry as they are now and to restore the pics and videos that have been lost?  I really would love to have them back, this phone is supposed to be the best and right now it doesn't seem to be.  Please help if you can.

    I too have noticed that once i restored from iCloud. Pictures blurry and videos wont play!
    Need help too!!

  • New iphone 4S doesn't let me send/receive text messages to non-iPhone users...how can I change this?

    wondering if it is due to a brief stop in service but I am not receiving messages from non-iPhone contacts and not allowing me to send--even though it appears as I sent a text--recipients are not getting the texts I send IF they do not have an iPhone...what to do to change this?

    Contact your carrier and make sure that your account is properly set up for texting.

  • When I try to manually backup my ipad2, I receive an error message stating "There was a problem completing the backup.  Please try again later" ... and this happens each time I try to back up.  Grateful for suggestions ...

    When I try to manually backup my ipad2, I receive an error message stating "There was a problem completing the backup.  Please try again later" ... and this happens each time I try to back up.  Grateful for suggestions ...

    Seems to be a common enough problem. I've deleted the partial failed backup from iCloud, restoring all 5Gb of storage. Then started a manual backup. After about 20 minutes I get the same error message. I have repeated this several times. According to my iTunes on my laptop I managed one backup to iCloud from there but it is pointless if u can neither backup to or restore from iCloud via my iPhone 4. I had hoped ios 5.0.1 would solve this glitch but ....
    So much for "it just works".
    I have yet to see any suggested fix that works for me. Any other suggestions?

  • Cannot receive messages on new IPhone.

    I recently switched to a newer IPhone but since then i don't receive messages from other IPhone users. They only appear on my IPad. I have tried deactivating IMessage on both devices. My old IPhone is still around (yet no longer connected to my subscription) - could this be causing the problem?

    You can go to Setting -> Messages -> Send & Receive, there you can check whether all your addresses are checked. If everything is checked, you can check the same on your iPad. If none of these things work I would try restarting and/or a soft reset by holding your sleep button for 10 seconds.

  • Can send SMS but not receive after update...

    After updating my iPhone 4S to ios6 i have problems with receiving messages.I can send SMS but not receive. What to do?

    Although I don't believe in consequences, I think this might be one of them. My email was working fine until I installed my VPN. I use the Thunderbird email application, which I like a lot, for three Hotmail accounts and two Yahoo accounts. After installing the VPN I could receive mail but could not send it on any of my accounts. I contacted the VPN and they sent me some numeric IP Addresses to put in my account settings. One for the Hotmail accounts and one for the Yahoo accounts. I did as instructed and the email seemed to work okay. It was late in the evening and I went to bed. The next morning, I could send and receive emails on the Yahoo accounts, but could only send emails on all of the Hotmail accounts.
    I guess I'd like to know if anyone else is having this same problem. I'd hate to think it was just me. :-)
    I would like for Thunderbird to tell me if there is a way to change the outgoing server in the Account Settings, so I can enter the IP Address in there, or does the fact that I entered an IP Address in the Server Name box, cause it to override any other entries? Or should that even make a difference with me receiving mail?
    Also, at what time limit does Thunderbird send back a message that the connection to the server timed out? I continually get that message.
    I found a way to do a ping on the Hotmail server and the fastest response time for the last two days was 258.09 which seems very slow for a business computer. At least for a business that wants to stay in business. So is that time above the Thunderbird threshold of the connection time out message to be generated?
    Thanks for all your help and suggestions, Carole

  • I am having troubles, when I open LR I get a message that there is an error and it will try to fix the error next time it opens, but I get the error next time it opens, and this is going on and on where I can not use LR, any suggestions?

    I am having troubles, when I open LR I get a message that there is an error and it will try to fix the error next time it opens. LR closes on it's own, I reopen it and get that same message next time it opens, and this is going on and on where I can not use LR, any suggestions? If I click on a different set of photos in the libary before I get that message I might or might not get the message next time it oipens, but I still can not get to those photos, and it is not just one or two but most of my photos. HELP!!!!
    Thanks

    The first thing I would suggest is for you to go to the folder containing your catalog, using your system browser. There will be a folder that has the extension .lrdata. Delete that folder, and then try to start Lightroom. If that doesn't work, replace your catalog with your most recent backup.

  • HT201210 I just updated my iTunes and now I get a message that the application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found.  What happened and how do I fix this?  I can't access any of my music now.

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

    Try Mail->Window->Connection Doctor.  If there is a problem reported, try:
    Open Mail->Preferences and check your settings.
    If you still have a problem, Copy your settings (screen capture ⇧⌘4), delete account, and re-setup account
