Hello Helen,
It sounds like you are not able to send and receive iMessages.  I found an article with steps to address issues with iMessages. 
I recommend following the steps in the section titled "If you still can't send or receive iMessages" in the following article:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

    My iMessage doesn't work on my iPhone. It says sign in information is wrong but it's not?!

    There is an earlier thread that was answered by an Apple employee that states they are seeing the iMessage and Facetime servers are down. It is unknown when they will return, however it generally is not an extended period of time.

  • TS4268 My iMessage doesn't work on my iPad. My software is up to date, wifi is working, apple ID is working but the verification stops and goes back to sign on. Why does this happen?

    Look at no. 5 in this text which was copied from Apple's support site for troubleshooting Messages and FaceTime activation.
    Troubleshooting Apple ID activation
    After each step, toggle iMessage and FaceTime off and then on again in Settings > Messages and Settings > FaceTime.
    Update to the latest version of iOS.
    Ensure that you have an active Internet connection. You can complete activation using Wi-Fi or a cellular data connection. Check your Wi-Fi network using standard Wi-Fi network troubleshooting.
    If you receive an error when signing in to your Apple ID, visit myinfo.apple.com, sign in to your account, and ensure that the primary email address has been verified.
    Ensure that FaceTime has not been restricted: Settings > General > Restrictions > FaceTime.
    In Settings > General > Date & Time, ensure that Set Automatically is on. If Set Automatically is on, but the incorrect time zone is displayed, turn Set Automatically off and then choose the correct time zone, date, and time. Then turn Set Automatically on again.
    Enable iMessage and FaceTime while connected to another Wi-Fi network in a different location.

  • My camera doesn't work, it says its not connected.

    Hi, i got a macbook air, and its been a while since my camera doesnt work,
    its says its not connected.

    What kind of external camera is this? I am assuming it is a USB camera? Make sure that you aren't using any USB hubs. Also try connecting it to another USB port. Have you installed the drivers from the camera manufacturer yet?
    Thanks,
    Sean

  • Help! My iMessage doesn't work on my new iPhone 5s, I've changed my sim twice, but iMessage only works with my Apple ID.

    Recently got a new iPhone 5s and the iMessage doesn't work. I tried the sim in another phone and it didn't work either so I put a completely new sim in my iPhone and iMessage doesn't work. It will only work when I use my Apple ID for received messages. I don't know what to do. I have reset everything and it still doesn't work. My software is up to date. Please help!

    ACTIVATING FACETIME AND IMESSAGES
    Activating Facetime and Imessages on your phone requires the ability to send SMS messages and depending upon where you are that might be an international SMS.  Check with your carrier to see if your plan supports sending of international SMS messages.  If you are having trouble activating Facetime or Imessages turn them both off on your device and reset the device (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost)).  Wait for the device to restart and wait a minute and turn Facetime and imessage back on and wait for activation.  If that does not fix things read the following articles:

  • My App Store doesn't work, it says there is no connection possible, but Safari and iTunes Store are working perfektly

    my app store doesn't work, it says there is no connetion possible but safari and the itunes store ars working perfectly, so whats wrong ???

    Hi..
    Installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo reinstalls the App Store for you. It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8
    Restart your Mac after the combo is installed. Then try the App Store.
    If that didn't help, if you have anti virus software installed, you need to disable that. And third party apps such as Little Snitch can prevent access to the App Store as well.

  • After upgrading to iOS 7.0 my iMessage doesn't work and it says it is "waiting for authorization". When I try to activate it, it won't connect.

    I upgraded to iOS 7.0 and now my iMessage doesn't work. My phone reads "waiting for activation" When I try signing in I get a message "Could not sign in. Please check your network connections and try again". My network connection is fine for all other applications. Any help?

  • TS4268 iMessage doesn't work anymore suddenly. It claims that my apple id had changed, which isn't the case (App Download still working!) . Then it shows the correct Email-adress and asks for appleID password.

    iMessage doesn't work anymore suddenly. It claims that my apple id had changed, which isn't the case (App Download still working!) . Then it shows the correct Email-adress and asks for appleID password. After entering it switches to a mask witch asks for the eMail adress that should be used. There is the right One already preentered. From there it switches back to the former mask (appleID +password) and nothing happens. If you say Log in again, ist just switches between those masks without showing an error claim nor logging in. Strange thing is ist worked proppperply till a few days ago.......

    Hello there Noregret35,
    I suggest this part of the iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant found here http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/#section_1
    If you get to step 3 I recommend closing ALL the apps.
    Here is step 1 to get you started.
    Restart iPhone
    To restart iPhone, first turn iPhone off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and iPhone will turn off after a few moments.
    Next, turn iPhone on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Is iPhone not responding? To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If your device does not turn on or displays a red battery icon, try recharging next.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • IMessage doesn't work all the time

    Hi,
    I'm using iPhone4S and noticed that recently for the past week, iMessage doesn't work when I text my husband who's using iPhone4.
    I tried switchin network (wifi and telco data) but both also doesn't work. Please advise why this is the case and how to fix it.
    SMS international is costly.
    Thanks.

    Ask him to enable his email address to receive iMessages and do the same on yours. It's in Settings > Messages.

  • IPhoto 11 doesn't show the photos that I just imported from an SD card, but says its importing to library 15 min after SD card is removed.

    iPhoto 11 doesn't show the photos that I just imported from an SD card, but says its importing to library 15 min after SD card is removed. The import seemed to start normally, I went to mail to check messages, came back to iPhoto & the usual prompt about wanting to delete the photos on the card never came up. The photos didn't show up in events or the library & the device icon wasn't showing so I tried to import again. A prompt then came up saying that I needed to wait until the import was done!

    Hi, this problem is also happening to me also. I just took some pics of my daughter on my nikon d3100 and imported them from SD card to iPhoto. It says 'preparing to import' but during the process i do not see the photos being imported. After it was done, there was a new event album, i clicked opend it to see my photos but all of them were blank. I forced quit and re-launched iPhoto but it didnt work, i even re-imported, not to no avail.. Please help.  Earlly 2011 13' MacBook pro 10.7.2

  • IMessage doesn't work after changing the sim. New number isn't even recognised.

    I changed my sim from a German to a French one and the card is already active and calls are possible, but iMessage doesn't work. The new number is not recognised and iMessage cannot be activated.
    I tried to switch it off and and and I reset the network, but nothing. I even removed the card a few times, but no change.
    How can I make it work?

    Yes... Do you see this... http://s1185.photobucket.com/albums/z356/annerkram/?action=view&current=cropguide.mp4
    On my SD TV... Notice the black bars on the top and bottom.  Once I go in and out of the guide the black bars are gone.  I have reported this but if you are confirming the issue I will report it again.

     I have a Motorola 7XXX series DVR which got the 1.9 upgrade a few days ago. I have SD Override enabled and set to Stretch. When I set it like that, the SD channel I'm on will then stretch to fill the screen (and the black bars disappear as they should). But when I change the channel and go to another SD channel, the black bars are back. Or if I enable the SD Override and then turn the TV off, it will be disabled once I turn the TV on again (and the black bars are back).
    It seems like the SD Override isn't holding. I don't want to have to hit the # button on the remote to change the aspect ration every time I change the channel. The SD Override should work and stay enabled once set. Anyone know how to fix this?
