TS2755 iMessage Trouble

I can't even sign in on iMessage, The Apple ID is correct, and I can even sign in on my other devices. Any advice?

I was getting the message "check network" each time I tried to sign in.  I went to WiFi settings and changed the DNS server to "8.8.8.8".  imessage works fine now.  I have no idea why that worked, but it did. I read it on another forum.  Good day.

  • TS2755 Imessage trouble with IOS7 update.

    After the ios7 update, often imessages are not delivered. There isn't any clear pattern which are delivered and which are not.  Any suggestions? My phone is an iphone 5, my network is vodafone.

    This seems to be a problem for some iPhones with the iOS 7 update and some got worse in 7.0.2. Apple is apparently working to fix this and is rumored to be fixed in the next update 7.0.3/.
    May have to turn off iMessage for the time being until this is fixed (for reliability).

  • IMessage trouble with two iPhones and one Apple ID

    Hi,
    I'm having trouble with iMessage after updating both of my iPhones to iOS 6 and not being able to use iMessage with one of the phones.
    Some background:
    -I have two iPhones, one on AT&T in the U.S., and one on NTT DoCoMo in Japan, both with separate phone numbers, using the same Apple ID.
    -The AT&T iPhone is a 4, the NTT is an unlocked 4S.
    On my 4 (AT&T), on iMessage, I have the option to send/receive as my U.S. phone number and my Apple ID. Works just like before updating.
    On my 4S (NTT), on iMessage, before I updated, I was able to send/receive using my Japanese number and Apple ID. After updating, I have the option to send/receive using my U.S. number and Apple ID. My Japanese number is greyed out and I cannot select it. When I turn on iMessage, it says "Waiting for activation..." and does not do anything. Turning iMessage off and on, some times I get an error message staying that activation cannot be completed.
    I have rebooted the phone multiple times, turned on/off iMessage and FaceTime, turned the Set Date & Time Automatically option on/off, and reset Network settings several times. Nothing works; iMessage will not activate on my NTT 4S. Please help!

    Finally resolved this issue after months of off and on troubleshooting.
    I have no idea exactly which steps "fixed" the issue, but here's what I did. None of the basic troubleshooting steps that are on here worked for me, and this is including restoring both phones in iTunes as a "last resort" step that two Apple technical service representatives suggested.
    I found a post on here from user "tungddao" who suggested:
    "Turn on iMessage then make a phone call to : 011+445773142076
                 With Facetime & Siri: 011+447786205094"
    I called both numbers with my NTT 4S, and both numbers hung up right away. I also texted both numbers, and the FaceTime one went through, while the iMessage number did not. I then checked my SMS blocking settings with NTT. There were no blocks, but I reset the settings to "unblock all" anyway.
    I was able to activate iMessage and FaceTime with my Apple ID and my NTT phone number. Halfway there.
    I then turned on my ATT 4, and while I could send/receive using my Apple ID and NTT phone number, the ATT number was greyed out, which was the opposite of what had happened before, when I could use the ATT number, but not the NTT one. On my NTT 4S, I could select my ATT number, but it was stuck on "verifying" for days, and I knew it wouldn't go through.
    So, I signed out of my Apple ID on iMessage and FaceTime on my ATT 4, and turned both services off. I turned on data roaming, and turned off WiFi. *This step was key to activating both services, as they would not activate over WiFi for some reason.
    I turned on iMessage and FaceTime without signing in to my Apple ID just yet. They both activated successfully, and then I signed into my Apple ID on both services, and from then on, I can use both numbers and my Apple ID on both phones! Finally!
    These are my current options:
    Phone 1 (4S on NTT): Phone 1's #, Phone 2's #, Apple ID
    Phone 2 (4 on ATT, roaming here in Japan on Softbank): Phone 2's #, Phone 1's #, Apple ID
    Hope this helps someone out there, as this issue was real frustrating for me.

  • IPod iMessage troubles

    I am having troubles with iMessage on my iPod 5.  I have iOS 8.2.  It won't let me text just one person.  I can text anyone else but this person.  I send a message, and it just shows the red exclamation point and says "Not Delivered".  I tap "Try again", and it does the same thing.  Again, this is only with one person.  (the same person)  I have turned my WiFi off and then on again, and it still does it.  I deleted the contact and then tried to text the person again, and this time it said that the person wasn't registered with iMessage.  I have always been able to text the person before.  I also tried turning iMessage off and then on again, but it still didn't work.  I seemed to have more troubles with my iPod after the last update.   
    Does anybody have any answers?  Please and thank you!!

    I now wonder if my iMessage problem is with my Contacts instead, (or possibly my friend's device) because I tried Face Timing my friend, and that didn't work either.  I did delete and remake the contact as I said the first time.  But every time I try to start a new text to my friend again,  it still is saying that she isn't registered with iMessage. 

  • Imessage trouble

    (I hav an 8gb ipod touch with ios.5.0.1) i just turned off imessage in settings and turned it back on,
    Now when i click imessage on my home screen it says enter apple id so i do that and click log in,
    next i click the "next" button in the top right hand corner and it says "verifying email" and then it takes me back to the log in page,
    So it never logs in and goes to the "create message" page
    If anyone has any suggestions plz post  

    If the iPad is giving you other problems, you may have a defective device, but without knowing what the other issues are and if you have done anything to troubleshoot the problems, it would be impossibly to make that determination.
    The device does come with a one year warranty. If you are still within the one year time frame, contact Apple. Actually the warranty doesn't even matter because you can take the iPad to an Apple Store and ask them to take a look - the warranty wouldn't even matter for a Genius Bar appointment.
    You didn't say specifically if you have ever been able to send a text previously. You can look through this troubleshooting support site and see if some thing in it provides help.

  • TS2755 iMessage not working

    My iMessage is not working. It fails to send and receive from my iPad. I am connected to the wifi. I have tried resetting the network and system settings without success, taking the steps from the last update problem.  My FaceTime is also not working. I use these apps infrequently so I am not certain when this started happening.

  • TS2755 iMessage issues

    iMessage says that what I sent isn't being delivered or sent, but the one I'm sending the messages to can receive them without any problems. Any idea what I can do to fix this So that it doesn't say that my messages aren't getting sent when they actually are?

  • IMessage trouble on every device

    I'm having trouble with iMessage on both iPad, iPhone4, iPhone3Gs and MacBook. I used it until few days ago; it stop working. Red bubble on every devices.

    Thank you allan but I have just made some search and followed this and other varoious issue ... no way.
    I think the problem is related to my iCloud account because iMessage does not work in all my Apple devices (4 devices, MacBook, iPhome4, iPhone3Gs and iPad2).

  • TS2755 iMessage not receiving as normal text after leaving Wi-Fi

    When I start a conversation with someone in a Wi-Fi zone, with iMessage turned on, it send in a blue bubble. When I leave the wifi zone and keep the conversation going its turns green, the problem is that once I leave the wifi zone in a iMessage started convorsation I wont receive texts until I re-enter a wifi zone. How can I change this? Turning off iMessage doesn't seem to help because I will receive some messages but not all. until I get in a WiFi zone.
    Note: I don't have a data plan, just unlimited text messaging.

    Your note explains it all. Without a data plan you cannot send imessage texts and others on imessage cannot send you imessage texts. They will time out and eventually send as sms. What puzzles me is why you don't have a data plan on your phone? Without it your phone is just a plain old dumb phone.

  • TS2755 iMessage won't disassociate a contact that no longer has an iPhone

    My son recently changed phones.  He no longer has an iPhone.  No matter what I try, other than turning iMessage completely off, my iPhone still wants to send a text to him as iMessage.  This is blocking group messages from going through. 
    This is what I have tried so far:
    disassociated his iPhone from his Apple account
    turned iMessages off on his old iPhone
    turned WiFi off on his old iPhone
    turned his iPhone off
    deleted all threads with him in my messages
    removed his contact completely from my contacts
    turned iMessages off on my iPhone
    restarted my iPhone
    As soon as I turn iMessages back on, it registers his number as an iMessage text instead.  I was on with tech support with AT&T for over an hour and the only thing that worked is leaving iMessage off on my phone.  Please help!  I am at a loss. 
    Thank you!!
    Kim

    He changed his Apple ID password and now my iPhone is no longer associating his number as an iMessage contact.  Score!!  I hope this helps someone else. 

  • TS2755 iMessage sent as text for first message

    After the iOS 6 update, my iPhone 4S through Sprint will not send iMessages to iMessage users on the first text. It sends the message as a text and when the iMessage user responds it changes to iMessage. How can I fix this? I've restarted my phone over and over and turned iMessage on/off. I've connected to iTunes and tried to see if maybe it's a glitch that has an update but nothing comes up. The only thing I have not done is restored my iPhone, and I would like to do that last if NOTHING else works. Everything is backed up, I sync my phone everyday because of work and scheduling.

    My phone does the same thing. The first message I send will send text but after they reply (iMessage) never have any problems. If I get a message from them first it's an iMessage but when I start the conversation it only will send an SMS first. Really annoying, why not iMessage from message 1!!!!!!

  • TS2755 iMessage ACTIVE and DOESN'T Work, while Sens as SMS func is OFF. Damned, i've send so many. You *******!!!

    Well I have iMessage activated and turned on,
    I have Send as SMS turned off.
    I have phone numbers listed as iPhone numbers.
    But messages are still green. Why???

    reset all settings
    settings-general-reset-reset all settings
    now reconnect to wifi
    settings- wifi- click network name- enter password - join
    if issue persists back up and restore as new via iTunes
    Peace, Clyde

  • TS2755 imessages show email instead of contacts?

    my imessage works but instead of showing me my contacts it shows me the email of my friend how do i fix it?

    go back into settings at the received at and log out of your email and see if that works.

  • TS2755 iMessage pre-populated for all new messages

    When I create a new message in IMessage it is pre-populated with an old message I once sent someone - it is like it has become a template and I am forced to delete it before I can write my new message. Any idea how I can stop this from happening?

    I can also no longer text on my computer or iPad.  Fine on iPhone.  Same as you - I can see everything up until a specific day.  But I didn't do any kind of update where it should have stopped.  And it stopped working on my computer and iPad at the same time.
