Unable to get imessage working, comes up green instead of blue
I'm uable to get imessage working, text comes up green instead of blue. I have my setting, message, imessage turned on. What am I doing wrong?
Mine didn't work for 2 months and this fixed it, so I posted it in another discussion and have been getting "thank you" replies nearly daily:
Just update your date/time settings:
Settings
> General
>> Date & Time
>>> Set Automatically: Slide "ON"...If it's already on, then slide it off, chill for a bit (maybe restart it), then slide it back on.
I am using an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1, but other users with 3GS, 4S, and even iTouch devices replied that it worked.

Group messages come out green instead of blue why? Even though everyone has an iPhone in the group
group messages come out green instead of blue
I've been wondering about this on behalf of my mum. I found a solution here but it involves deleting the group thread and starting a new with the same participants. Seems pretty useless that iOS 8 would force us to delete messages.
Any other solutions to this?

It's about your Apple ID and your credit card info is not valid.

iMessage is free but iMessage also uses the Apple ID. -
Unable to get PAGE_COUNT working
I am a new Xserve user and I have been unable to get PAGE_COUNT working despite the fact that SSI and other environmental variables are functioning for me. Does anybody know what additional settings are required for PAGE_COUNT? Do I need to initiate a count file or file location?
Xserve Mac OS X (10.4.9)This is still unresolved so I hope this additional information will enable somebody to tell me how to fix it. I have used a QPQ server for over 10 years and am now moving all sites to Apache (1.3) on an Xserve. Everything appears to work OK except for PAGE_COUNT. All pages are parsed and most pages contain:
<!--#echo var="LAST_MODIFIED"-->
<!--#echo var="PAGE_COUNT"-->
The date displays as expected but the hit counter only shows '(none)'.
What have I done wrong or failed to do? Could moving the site root have caused a glitch? Where does Apache store the page counts?
Any help would be much appreciated. -
HT2311 Unable to get iTunes working on iMac with OS X 10.6.8.
Unable to get iTunes working on iMac with OS X 10.6.8. Have rolled back a couple of versions and same problem. iTunes seems to open but all functions are greyed out and must force quit. Any suggestions would be appreciated. On a couple of occasions have had options available, but once selected it hangs, and then all is greyed out and must force quit. Incidentally going directly to a song (before running iTunes) will open iTunes and play, but all options are still greyed out.
It could be corrupted preference files, or a corrupted library file. You could try dragging the preference and iTunes library files to your desktop, launching iTunes, and see if the functions will then work. Your songs will of course be missing, but if that fixes the problem, you can put the files back one by one and see which causes the problem. If it's just a preference file, just trash the file and reset your preferences. If it's the library, post back and we can help you rebuild.
Regards. -
Why when I send messages from my iPhone to other IPhones, they come up green and not blue? I have all the settings on for I message b ut my number comes up grey and not black? Please someone help!
Hi evan191,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has some steps you can try if your messages aren't sending as iMessages:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
If you still can't send or receive iMessages
Ensure that iMessage is turned on in Settings > Messages.
To send and receive iMessages, your device must have a valid cellular or Wi-Fi data connection.
iPhone: Troubleshooting Cellular data
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
iMessage registration validates your Apple ID for use with iMessage. If you are unable to activate iMessage, follow this article.
If an iMessage cannot be sent, it will be resent using SMS or MMS, depending on the content. You can turn this behavior on or off in Settings > Messages > Send As SMS. Carrier messaging rates may apply.
Verify that the Apple ID or phone number is listed in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.
Cheers,

cant receive or send messages on my iPad. Keep getting "message failed to send" and it is green instead of blue. This happened after I turned on iCloud on my iPhone. Would that have anything to do with this problem? It's like its not sincing to my phone but I can send & receive emails ok.
iOS 7.1.2, huh? It MAY be having some trouble with the iOS 8.x devices and latest iCloud features. Although it meets the minimum system requirements, it does not meet the recommended ones - System requirements for iCloud - Apple Support
You should try Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support - this is generally the first step in troubleshooting, all devices - for all time
Message Colors
Blue is iMessage (Apple service)
Green is SMS (Carrier service)
What happens when you use your iPad similarly? (what iPad model & iOS version)
As a last resort*, Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support - *this document tells that all your data will be lost but provides steps to back-up (Before section) then restore your data (Restore section #4) -
Not getting iMessages to my iPhone. Instead, they're going to my mac. I didn't change anything. Just happened out of the blue.
Your profile indicates your Mac has v10.6.6 installed ??

Messages green instead of blue.
Since installing Yosemite my messages are green instead of blue. Same recipient on an iPhone, same message thread, but now they are green, they used to be blue.
Not a big deal, just curious what happened.Hello hot_spur,
Green bubbles indicate SMS messages.

Since I downloaded the new update on my iphone 4s I no longer see the delivered message under my text when sent. Also the message is green instead of blue. Does anybody know how to fix this?
You are sending SMS messages. iMessages are blue. Go to Settings>>Messages>>iMessage ON.

Unable to get translation working with XML bursting
Hi All,
I am working on bursting an XML report using the DocumentProcessor API in an EBS environment. The XML publisher report has .xlf translation for Dutch Netherlands (nl-NL). The report works fine when printing through the EBS using the nl-NL locale. But however if I try to set the locale in the bursting and try to print the XML publisher report it is printing only in American English (Main translatable template's locale). Below is my bursting code
try {
DocumentProcessor dp = new DocumentProcessor("/usr/tmp/SampleControlFile2.xml", strDataSource, "/usr/tmp");
dp.registerListener(this); //Set the listener
System.out.println(strDataSource);
System.out.println("xdo://"+strAppcode+"."+strTemplateCode+"."+strLang+"."+strLocale+"?getSource=true");
Properties prop = new Properties(); //Add properties and variables//
//updating these property as per environment//
//prop.put("user-variable:TEMPLATE", "xdo://"+strAppcode+"."+strTemplateCode+"."+strLang+"."+strLocale+"?getSource=true");
prop.put("user-variable:TEMPLATE", "xdo://"+strAppcode+"."+strTemplateCode+"."+"en"+"."+"US"+"?getSource=true");
prop.put("user-variable:cp:territory", "NL");
prop.put("user-variable:cp:language", "nl");
prop.put("user-variable:cp:locale", "nl-NL");
prop.put("burstng-source", "EBS");
prop.put("user-variable.OA_MEDIA", "<MEDIA DIR>");
dp.setConfig(prop);
dp.process();
//dp.deletTemporaryOutputFiles();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Control File:

</xapi:requestset>
Also I tried the following,
For xdo://XXRS.XXRS_RAXINV_SEL_T.en.US?getSource=true location, the template prints always in American English.
For xdo://XXRS.XXRS_RAXINV_SEL_T.nl.NL?getSource=true location, the bursting errors saying that could not find the template. (The template xdo://XXRS.XXRS_RAXINV_SEL_T.nl.NL?getSource=true can't be fetched)
Thanks!Hi,
Can you post your control file here...
I am working on similar thing but not getting it working..getting error like
[070110_022931827][][EXCEPTION] The URL ( xdo://XXX.XXXPOXPRPOL.fr.CA/?getSource=true ) is invalid.
My translation file name is "XXXPOXPRPOL_fr_CA.xlf"
in my control file i have tried following codes but it didnt work
