TS3274 My ipad will receive texts and emails but it won't send - the send button doesn't light up?

My iPad is about 1.5 years old. It just started this business of not sending. My ipad will receive texts and emails but it won't send - the send button doesn't light up? It has been updated. to 6.1 IOS.
Anyone have an idea what to do for this?

I would think this might be the case but I am trying to texting friends and family members with iphones.
I am really stymied.

TS3899 wrote and email but it won't send or cancel-screen frozen

wrote and e-mail but it won't send or cancel-screen is frozen. Every other function works

If the reset does not work, try quitting mail completely and then restart the iPad and see if you can cancel the email or send it.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Receive Gmail but it won't send

I have a new macbook air. I set up the mail to work with my gmail account. I can receive mail but it will not send. The outgoing stmp server is listed as Gmail (offline) and the Connection Dr. can not connect.

It is possible that you are in a transition period of time when Apple is shutting down the mobileME website. In fact, Mobileme.com is closed at this moment. I can see where you might be receiving email traffic and yet being unable to send email out using the mobileme/ mac dot com emaill address. Check this article out from Gigaom.

Help! I transferred the data from my old Macbook pro with some success, but now my new Macbook Air contents think they are the remote disc and that the old Mac Pro is the hard drive. What did I do and how do I fix it?

I transferred the data from my old 2006 MacBook Pro 17". Thanks for the help on that. I thought that I was doing it right. Used a backup hard drive and time machine. Problem: Now my new macbook air thinks it is the old machine and that the remote disc is the mb air. Clicks want to take things to mobile me instead of iCloud, old applications launch instead of the new ones. How do I fix the mess I have made? Like I said before, I am a software user and don't really know what I am doing when I start into the guts of the software, but I am able to learn. Thanks for any help.

How can i install windows on new macbook air using remote drive on the bootcamp partition

Hi all, I just purchased a new macbook air mid - 2011 with OSX-Lion installed on it. I wish to install Windows XP on the boot camp partition but have not purchased the external super drive. Is there some way that I can install windows on boot camp using remote drive of my other macbook pro system.

Can receive mail, but keep getting a 'timed out' when trying to send

I use bellsouth (ATT) as my mail server - - for the last 4 days, I have been unable to send on my MacBook Pro.
I am receiving mail with out incident and have been able to send from my iPhone - but not from my lap top. Have called Bellsouth, they referred me to advanced support.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
Unless Bellsouth has recently changed something, their SMTP does not require separate Authentication -- it is actually authenticated on the basis of the having already authenticated the Incoming server. In Mail Preferences/Accounts/Account Information click on the arrows beside the name of the Outgoing Server, choose Edit Server List, and then choose the Advanced Tab. There for the Bellsouth SMTP, you should check to use the Custom port, set to Port 25, and choose None as the method of Authentication. Remove any Username and Password entered there, and Save these settings. You should now be able to send with the Bellsouth SMTP.
So while I am sure Bellsouth would say their SMTP is Authenticated (and it is), they do not understand that Mail will take care of that on the basis of the Incoming data without the entries for separately authenticating the Outgoing Server, and will in fact cause failure if that is attempted.

How can I reformat my iPhone from my old PC to my new MacBook Air, without losing everything?

I just got my first Mac, and now I need to reformat my iPhone. I don't want to lose all of my content. My PC iTunes account uses the sample Apple ID as my MAC, so is it just as simple as plugging it into my Mac?

Use migration assistant for Windows to transfer all of your data from your PC to your new Mac:

How can I link iPhoto to my Apple ID on my all-new MB Air to update it through the MAS?

Hello everyone.
My new mid 2012 MacBook Air won't download the iPhoto update (9.3.1) through the Mac App Store, telling me I should use the Apple ID I entered when I bought the Mac (which I tried without success). What should I do to get iPhoto linked to my Apple ID?
Thank you.

Did iPhoto come preinstalled on your MBA? Then you need to accept it to your Apple ID. If you have not done so already, sign in with your AplleID and go to the "Purchases" Tab in the App Store. Accept the app by pressing the "Accept" button, Then you should see it offered for update in the Update Panel.

I can receive iMessage but cannot send

I can receive iMessages, but am unable to send.... Help!

Back again.
Apologies for the delay – it's taken this much time to get a new micro-sim! You were correct that a new sim solved the texting problem - I can now send texts. BUT, the original problem still stands: I go to Settings / FaceTime / Use Apple ID for FaceTime / Enter Apple ID... I enter my correct password and get: "FaceTime Activation. The user name or password for (...my email) was incorrect. Try again".
The user name, by default, is my email and my password is the same one used to access this forum, iStore etc. so I know both are correct.
I live in the UAE where FaceTime is banned, but my iPhone 4s is UK specs and has the FaceTime app. I use the same app on my MacBook Pro over broadband and iPad over wifi with no problems. Advice appreciated.

The NEW MACBOOK AIR ***** PLZ SOMEONE HELP ME GET THIS ACROSS TO SOMEONE AT APPLE

Hi,
My Name is Essa and i live in Bahrain. I fell in love wih apple ever since i bought a macbook in 2005. The laptop (which im using now) has been with me for over 6 years. Not only i was happy with my product, i purchased more products, such as 3 iphones, all for me, a ipod nano the new one with the touch screen and the first edition of the iPad. I have never had a problem and everytime i would tell my friends if they needed a laptop to get a mac and be safe with it. I decided in august to get the new macbook air. The problem after a few months of using it, it started to act up. By act up i mean everytime i start it up the computer would freeze on the welcome screen and the arrow would be stuck in the top corner, and after several times of trying to start it up it just kept giving me that (PING) sound and would not load. I took it to the sale agent here in bahrain. They are called Apple Center. They were extremly nice, and worked on my laptop and they came back to me and said that there was an error with your logic board and it will take 4 weeks to fix it, as they had to recieve the parts form the states. I gladly gave them my laptop and waited for 4 weeks, keep in mind that i still used my old macbook in 2005 and it was stable as the day i bought it. After 4 weeks of waiting they said we have fixed the problem, and he showed me that the laptop was working fine. I closed the top keeping it on sleep mode. When i got home i realized that the same problem exisited that when the operating system loads up the cursor is stuck in the top left corner and mouse pad and keyboard were not working. After several times of shutting down the laptop and starting it up again i ended up with the same result. It kept giving me that (PING) sound and wouldnt load. I will be taking my laptop in on monday morning again and im assuming i will be waiting for another 4 weeks maybe more. Could you please explain to me what happened to Apple? What has made your company start producing laptop that were as crappy a windows based computers. The reason i switched over is because i found the stability is outstanding and nothing could go wrong. Plus the old laptop which im sending the messege from is my old macbook. It is still good, and doesnt crash. So why did i just spend over 1,500 dollars for a laptop that died after 3 months of purchase? I dont know how well apple takes care of their international customers, but to be honest i am fairly dissapointed with this product, and i wish that i didnt buy the new macbook air and just stuck with the old one. Please if anyone reads this msg and is able to help me in anyway to send it across i would greatly appreciate it. I will be posting my phone number at the bottom hopping for a call from apple.
For those who read this and help i owe you a lot, if I dont get any replies or a responce from them im sure that i am screaming into a black hole and that apple really do not care about their customers and instead of winning i would just choose a different product from now on.
Regards,
Essa Al Alawi
Hoping for someone to answer me back

Don't take your laptop back. Find out the number for Apple Care in your part of the world and call them. Tell your story to them. If the person on the phone can't help you, ask for their supervisor. Keep asking for supervisors until you get exactly what you want to get. If that mean you want to get the problem fixed without having the computer gone for four weeks, then keep asking for supervisors till you get someone who can do that for you.
Be prepared to be on the phone for a while, so arrange a speaker phone, water to hand etc. Be patient.
As for "crappy computers"--my MBA has worked flawlessly since the day I got it. As good if not better than any Apple laptop I've ever had, and I've had several.This is the thing though, there is a percentage of failure rate that occurs in electronics. It occurs whether we're talking about televison sets or toasters. If it's electric, it has that failure rate. Now sometimes a thing will be bad and in that case the word gets out and everyone knows that particular electronic has surpassed the normal failure percentage. The Airs, however, have not done that. Their reputation, so far, has been incredibly solid and good. So you can assume that you, unfortunately, got one out of that small percentage of electronics that have an issue.
Laptops, let us remember, are doing a lot in a very small area. A lot can go wrong, and it's pretty amazing how many don't, especially given how many are made and sold. Sometimes we get the bad apple in the barrel, it doesn' t mean that the company making it has gone down hill. We hope the manager of the store, or the company, or someone will do right by us. If they don't, then we need to make sure they do. Keep asking for upper management till you get what you want.

HT202380 Can I use a back drive that I had on my PC on my new Macbook Air? Or do I need to purchase a new backup drive?

Can I use my back drive from my PC with my new Macbook Air and Time Machine? Or do I need to get a whole new back up external hard drive?

You should be able to use a drive that was previously used with a PC. You will likely need to reformat it. Note the following quote from Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support
Your Time Machine drive needs to be formatted as Mac OS X Extended (Journaled). If you select an NTFS or FAT-formatted drive, Time Machine prompts you to reformat the drive. Important: Reformatting erases any files on the destination drive. If you're not sure if you want to erase the drive you connected, choose a different drive.
The following gives instructions on how to reformat to Mac OS X Extended. It refers to Aperture but the instructions would be the same: Format external drives to Mac OS Extended before using with Aperture - Apple Support

I can't sync my iPad 3 with iTunes using the new Macbook Air

When I connect my iPad 3 with its original cable to my new MacBook Air, the charge symbol in the iPad starts to blink and the iTunes keeps connecting and disconnecting the iPad (more than one time per second).
I can sync my old iPhone 3GS with the new Macbook Air and I can sync both iPhone and iPad with my old 2009 MacBook.
I found similar questions in the forum, but didn't find a solution. I can charge my iPad using the outlet, by I still need to backup and sync the iPad.
BTW, every software is updated.
bw,
Marcos Kutova

i have the same problem. I am noy able to connect the iPad3 to my new Macbook Air. It only cycles the charging icon and itunes states the phone has been disconnected.
