TS4268 Iphone cannot send messages after OS7 upgrade

I upgraded to OS7 on my iphone5. I get imessages but cannot send imessages unless I double tap the message and select "Send As Text Message". I didn't have to do this before the upgrade. My other devices don't seem to have the problem. I went to the Apple Store and the representative said it was a "glitch" and that I have to wait for an update. Could someone explain what is going on?

Hello jmarfink,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are talking about having issues sending messages in the Messages app on your iPhone after a recent update, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

Cannot send messages after crash, the solutions offered didn't work.

On Tuesday (april 7) there was an update to 31.6. On Thursday there was a crash. Since then cannot send messages. The solutions offered didn't work.
I'm getting the message that the SMTP-server doesn't support the selected authentication.
I tried the solution mentioned. But nothing helps. I configured the outgoing server on the different types and deleted the password as mentioned. After that I did the configuration with the different types of configuration again. No solution.
There is not a web-mail possibility. So I'm stuck now.
There is no problem with the incoming messages, they are coming in. Should this password be deleted also?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Greetings,

Check with your email provider about the correct server settings, and compare that with your account settings.
There is no point guessing or trying arbitrary combinations of settings.

I have an iPhone 4, upgraded to the latest iOS software. Now, cannot send messages to non-iPhone users. No other settings have been changed. Thoughts?

Which implies you are using iMessage and not SMS as SMS does not work over Wi-Fi.
Are you having issues getting iMessages from anyone else?

By signing up for an apple ID it means she will be able to download her own apps and music and in future redownload if required for free. Ideally it should be the primary email address she uses as you can't transfer purchases etc to another ID.
Photos shouldn't disappear but back them up before hand. These days everyone gets an iCloud.com address so she could use this as her ID. You would need to go to www.apple.com/iCloud from a computer to sign up for this. Bearing in mind you need a mac with lion or mountain lion or a pc with windows vista onward to take advantage of all services like calendar sync and find my iPhone etc.
Otherwise sign up for an apple id with any other email address. You can do this at https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
AND Click on create an apple ID.
the applications linked to your existing apple ID will have to be redownloaded on the other ID but you won't lose them on yours.

Mail 3.0 cannot send email after clean install

mail does not manage to send mail after leopard was installed via a clean install. It seems to work for upgraded machines, but unfortunately for me, I prefer the clean install.
The problem is, that the SMTP-server simply rejects sending attempts from mail. mail then simply says "cannot send message using the server ...". I got suspicious when I entered a wrong password as then mail says that authentication failed (so the communication has to work somehow).
So I worked on getting the server logs and they say the following:
+Helo command rejected: need fully-qualified hostname; from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> proto=ESMTP helo=<Core>+
Seems like my computer send only the computers name as hostname and not the .local part any more. Systems which have been upgraded instead of a clean install do it "right" meaning they send hostname.local instead of just hostname which gets accepted by the smtp-server.
So the question is, where is the problem here? I do not really know what would be the right behavior regrading the computers name and hostname but I realize that 10.5 differs here from 10.4 leading to the problem above. My workaround in the moment is using Thunderbird which is quite sad after buying and upgrading to the new system...

I am running into the same issue. My insightbb account wont send messages. My yahoo account on the other hand, works fine. Heck, Mail wont even let me setup the insightbb account. Sometimes i can, but it rejects my username. I have to use thunderbird to send email from my insightbb account

" ! Cannot send message - Message has no valid recipient "

Android version 4.4.4
Sony Xperia Z3 Compact
When I use the pre-installed Messaging app I get the following error message for some but not all contacts
" [!] Cannot send message
Message has no valid recipient "
I can't work out what is is about the contacts that results in the error but today I had the error when trying to text to an iPhone and a Blackberry. Just to be clear, some contacts produce that error message every time; some contacts work properly every time.
It's becoming more than a little frustrating and at the moment I'm wondering why did I not just get another iPhone?
Anyway, all suggestions gratefully received...

It gets a bit weirder.
Taking the contact I tried to text earlier:
If I go to the contacts app, and select the messaging icon next to his mobile number, the text message which I compose is sent properly.
If I open the messaging app, select write new message and select his name, the text is not sent and the error message appears.
It's not at all satisfactory.

I recently lost my iPod and ive been using find my iPhone to send messages to it, my email instantly tells me that it had been displayed or it suonded off however it doesn't find it's current location. you guys think this app actually works??

i recently lost my 3rd Gen iPod and ive been using find my iPhone to send messages to it, my email then instantly tells me that it had been displayed or it suonded off however it doesn't find the iPod's current location. you guys think this app actually works? i feel like my alerts are just bouncing back at me. please help. Thanks!

... AFAIC Location Services is a joke.
With both devices sitting side by side on my kitchen table, Location Services has NEVER shown the devices to be any where close to each other, and at times Location Services has been as much as a 1/4 of a mile off between the two devices.
Your iPod Touch has no GPS receiver so determining its location relies upon wireless routers whose location is known. Its "location" is actually that of a wireless router. Your iPhone 4 can use GPS, cellular triangulation, and Wi-Fi. One would think GPS would be most accurate but urban areas have a greater density of cells and GPS signals are easily obstructed so cellular triangulation is often more accurate.
Therefore the two devices' locations can be expected to be different. Differences of a quarter mile are easily explained if you understand how location services works: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1975
Skyhook Wireless (I think Apple uses its own database now): http://www.skyhookwireless.com/howitworks/
Location Services is not a "joke"; its intended use is for basic navigation and for such applications as determining where the nearest restaurant is. It cannot tell you that your iPod is under the couch cushions and that your iPhone is in the car.

Error appears: Cannot send message. this message cannot be sent at this time - has been appearing everytime i try to send e-mail for the past week!

For the past week I have not been able to send both simple and attached messages through my icloud e-mail.
The error reads: this message cannot be sent at this time. i have the latest version of Firefox, I have even changed my password in hopes that this would resolve the issue, but alas, it hasn't worked. HELP!

This is a terrible customer experience for Apple users. I have been dealing with this same issue since April 2012; all used to work just fine and then suddenly -- "Cannot send message" error appears.
When is Apple going to fix this? I have two iPads and an iPhone but often need to access files from my PC (next time, it'll be a Mac),
Very frustrating.

"Cannot send message..." dialog stopped describing error in 10.4

Previous to 10.4, Mail had basically the same "Cannot send message..." dialog box. You know, the one that lets you choose a different server, "Try Again Later" or "Edit Message". Anyway, back in Panther days, it would give you the actual error message, like these for example:
554 Service unavailable; Client host blocked using sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org
550 Invalid recipient: Recipient address rejected
I suspect it was removed due to how un-consumer-friendly those message can be, but does anyone know of a secret preference or a plist edit I can do to get these back? They are indispensable when troubleshooting.
PowerBook G4 12" 867 MHz Mac OS X (10.4.3) 1 GB, 60 GB, AirPort Extreme, Bluetooth

Keep me in the loop to, I also like to know these techincal messages that may be helpful to my IT dept in the office; Because of this elimination in v10.4.3, for one period of time my Mail cannot send out external email outside of my office... and we went from "A to Z" trying to figure out what happen, in the end it was a simple change of MAC ID, because the IT dept finally realised I have actually changed my G4 to a G5 (machine upgrade), had those messages be available, it may cut down their time

Cannot Send Message: MMS Messaging needs to be enabled to send an email address

ERROR: iPhone 5 "Cannot Send Message: MMS Messaging needs to be enabled to send to an email address."
DESCRIPTION: When attempting to use my new iPhone 5 (unlocked on T-Mobile) to text to a new iPod email address (on a home WiFi to a Hotmail account), I get the above error message. I am able to send and receive text messages (SMS) to mobile phone numbers. I have iMessage enabled and am using iOS 6.0.2. What is the fix? Thanks.
REQUEST: Apple please produce an iPhone with a five inch screen in order to compete successfully with Samsung.

"Cannot send message due to possible abuse"

This error has resurfaced after a month of plague. I now cannot send any emails from Thunderbird, but can receive. I can send webmail via Yahoo which is NOT what I want. Obvioulsy my email address has got caught up in some wretched spammer and BT are blocking it. Googling the above reveals it is a common problem. Last time I changed my IP address but this did not cure it. Ideas most welcome.

"An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Transaction failed : Cannot send message due to possible abuse; please visit for more information. Please check the message and try again."
It is almost certainly a server issue of some form affecting some users. I expect the message is being received due to a strange condition being interpreted poorly by the system.
It will have nothing to do with Classic or Enhanced webmail or anything to do with that, because that does effectively use a different method - also because it has "just" happened with users doing nothing different, that negates anything to do with it.
