Unable to send message through iMessage

Unable to send message through iMessage.
Retry fails over and over again.
But able to receive from it.
Tried resetting network settings then it works again until the problem comes back.
Not sure what causes the problem. I do not wish to reboot my iphone everytime when it happens.
Seems like ios7 gm issues.
Never had this problem on the beta.
Anyone have any resolution to this?

iMessage is Activated.
Facetime is Activated.
Don't know what is preventing me from sending over iMessage.
Receiving is no problem. Even during the the time I was trying to send.

  • Why cant i send messages through imessage or FaceTime it always tells me that there was an error message and it failed

    so for a while my macbook air hasnt allowed me to facetime or send messages.. it tells me that the server encountered an error processing registration please try again later.. what could be wrong

    This could be a complicated problem to solve, as there are many possible causes for it. Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Before proceeding, test on another network, if possible. That could be a public Wi-Fi hotspot, if your computer is portable, or a cellular network if you have a mobile device that can share its Internet connection. If you find that iMessage works on the other network, the problem is in your network or at your ISP, not in your computer.
    Step 1
    Check the status of the service. If the service is down, wait tor it to come back up. There may be a localized outage, even if the status indicator is green.
    Step 2
    Sign out of iMessage on all your Apple devices. Log out and log back in. Try again to sign in.
    Step 3
    Restart your router and your broadband device, if they're separate. You may have to skip this step if you don't control those devices.
    Step 4
    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ About This Mac
    Below the "OS X" legend in the window that opens, the OS version appears. Click the version line twice to display the serial number. If the number is missing or invalid according to this web form, take the machine to an Apple Store or other authorized service center to have the problem corrected.
    Step 5
    Take the steps suggested in this support article. If you don't understand some of the steps or can't carry them out, ask for guidance.
    Step 6
    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Network
    If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the Proxies tab. If the box marked SOCKS Proxy is checked, uncheck it. You don’t need to change any other settings in the window. Click OK and then Apply. Test.
    The result may be that you can't connect to the Internet at all. Revert the change if that happens, or if iMessage still doesn't work. Remember that you must Apply any changes you make in the preference pane before they take effect.
    Step 7
    Select from the menu bar
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Storage
    and click
    Block all sites from storing information on this computer
    Close the preference pane.
    Step 8
    Make sure you know the ID and password you use with iMessage. Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Use the search box in the toolbar of the Keychain Access window to find and delete all items with "iMessage" or "com.apple.idms" in the name. Log out and log back in.
    Step 9
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    If iMessage worked in the guest account, stop here and post your results.
    Step 10
    Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you start up, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. After testing, restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and test again.
    If iMessage worked in safe mode, but still doesn't work when you restart in "normal" mode, stop here and post your results.
    Step 11
    Reset the NVRAM.
    Step 12
    Reinstall OS X.
    Step 13
    If none of the above steps resolves the issue, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or contact Apple Support.

  • Unable to send message using iMessage

    I can type a message but doesn't allow me to send it.

    Just make sure in settings, messages, show subject field OFF. You can't send a message with just subject. You might be typing in the subject box and trying to send. Miffed me when I first tried. Hopefully that COULD be it.

    This is my first timeo n Apple Support.  Suddenly this morning I am unable to send messages through my iPhone.  I can send messages to one number, but all the other numbers I am sending to I receive an error message.  Also, I can receive messages from the one number I can send to, but am unable to receive messages from any other number.  What do I do to fix this?

  • Unable to send message by disabling imessage on iphone5

    Hi, I am having below prob with my iphone5. ios 8.0.2
    I am unable to send messages to other iphone contacts when having:
    - wifi disabled
    - mobile data disabled
    - imessage disabled.
    Message is not delivered through normal carrier either.

    The calling is handled through Verizon but iMessages are handled through Apple.
    In the settings turn on SMS when iMessage is not available and see if you can send ok.
    First thing you can try is hold down the Home Button and the Power Button at the same time until you see the little white apple. Then release both buttons and let the device reset. You do not lose any apps or settings when doing this.
    I still in need of assistance go to
    http://www.apple.com
    And check the issue on the help forum.
    You can also go into a local Apple Store and they can assist you
    Good Luck

  • Unable to send message in Service bus queue through Webrole which are connected to Azure VPN

    I have created two Azure VPN and two cloud services(deployed webrole) and one service bus queue
    First Azure VPN and cloud service(deployed webrole) is created in same affinity group.
    Second Azure VPN and cloud service is created in West US
    Service bus queue is also created in West US.
    When I send message in service bus queue from first cloud service (same affinity group) then message sends successfuly
    but when I send message in same service bus queue from second service(West US- Webrole) then unable to send message and not throwing any exception.
    I don't know, whats happening?
    Its very urgent..... client is waiting.
    Please help me... Thanks.
    hema

    Thanks for reply. Got the cause but still looking for solution.
    Actually we have created Azure VPN using Express route and
    all are configured for Private Peering.
    Try to access service bus queue from Web role which is attached to Express route network.
    I am unable to access service bus queue and send message...because cloud services deployed in virtual networks are supported over the private peering path.
    There are 3 types: public, private and default route (forced tunneling). 
    How  can be configured for all 3 which will force all traffic through the tunnel except for Azure public service?
    Do you have any idea on this scenario?
    Thanks.

  • Why isnt my mac sending pictures through imessage

    Hey,
    Why isn't my MacBook Pro sending pictures through iMessages?
    Please help!
    Thanks

    Only Apple devices can receive messages sent through iMessages.  Your iPhone will only send a message through iMessages if it already knows that the other end of the connection is an iPhone and can receive such messages.  This is because a message sent through iMessages to a phone that could not receive it would just disappear without either of you knowing why.
    You can specifically chose to use iMessages to send a message to the other person's phone.  Once the message has been received by the other end both ends will know that the other end is an iPhone and they will use iMessages by default in future.

    Are you using Yosemite and not apple's Mail app? Then you may need to set up an app-specific password: See the post below:
    Re: I am using iPhoto version 9.6 and I can no longer get an email sent with a photo attached. I get an error message saying the email did not go through because the server did not reply. I can send the photo with Mail. Help!in response to Gary Kissler
    This solution is for those of you using 2-step verification for your Apple ID and are using iCloud as the mail server that you are trying to mail photos with.
    I too had this issue. The problem in my case occurred because I had setup 2-step authentication for my Apple ID. If you have done this then you will get the error message "the mail server did not recognize your email/password...". To solve the problem go to:
    https://appleid.apple.com
    Click "Manage Your Apple ID"
    Verify your identity with the device you selected (if this step does not show up then you have not likely set up 2-step authentication and this is not your solution)
    Click Password and Security in the left column
    Click Generate an app-specific password
    Enter iPhoto as the name of the app
    Copy the password and paste this into the password box in iPhoto where you would normally enter your apple ID (in the mail account section in iPhoto preferences).
    And...voila' (I hope)

  • Cannot send pictures through imessage with new iphone 5s?

    I had this issue and resolved it with a hard reset.  Holding sleep button and home button at same time until phone reboots.

  • IPhone trying to send message as iMessage to non-iOS recipient

    When I create a new message, I select the contact (who has a non-iOS device, in this case a Samsung Galaxy), the contacts name is green, which is fine.
    When I select the green contact's mobile number, the banner at the top goes from "New Message" to "New iMessage", the name stays green, but after typing a message the "Send" button remains greyed out so I cannot send it.
    I don't know why the iPhone is trying to send this as an iMessage when it clearly knows full well that the recipient is non-iOS (as the contact name is green).
    I have an iPhone 4s on iOS 7.1

    Hey there Barkster,
    It sounds like you are unable to send messages to a non iOS device when creating a new message. I would use the following troubleshooting from the following article:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
    To resolve issues sending and receiving SMS, follow these steps
    Go to Settings and turn airplane mode off.
    Make sure that you have a cellular network signal in the status bar of your iPhone. If there's no signal, learn more about troubleshooting no service.
    Restart your iPhone.
    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
    Remove your SIM card and insert it again.
    If you still can't send or receive SMS, follow these steps
    Make sure that the contact who's trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
    Make sure that you're using the area code with the contact's phone number. When sending messages internationally, you also need to use the contact's international code.
    If you're using a "Pay as you go" SMS plan, make sure it has enough available balance. Contact your carrier if you're unsure of your SMS plan or the available balance.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact from the Contacts app. Send a new message to the contact.
    Back up and restore your iPhone as new.
    If your carrier has recently ported your phone number, the porting process might not be complete. Contact your carrier to confirm that the porting process is complete.
    Contact your carrier to confirm that you're provisioned for sending SMS and are in an area with cellular coverage.
    Contact your carrier to verify there are no blocks or filters placed on your wireless account preventing you from sending SMS.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • My iPhone 5 will not send mms through iMessage, any help?

    I have recently been abroad and since returning to the UK, my phone will not send pictures over iMessage, I never had this problem before travelling. I have my wifi switched on and I have checked my send and receive settings. I can receive picture messages through iMessages but cannot send them. The person I am sending them too has an iPhone and has their iMessage turned on, I have checked my updates and my phone does not need updating, I can not think of anything else it could be. I have also checked and I am able to send them through text just not iMessage. Any suggestions would be great!

    Yes I have turned imessage off a number of times and that does not seem to he doing the trick, and it is not delivering them then I have to press on the photo and either chose try again or send as text message, I have had the setting on to not allow sending pictures as texts (so they can only send as imessage) since I got my phone in January and it has always worked until now, I have turned that off to allow me to send them as picture messages now but it's still not working over iMessage, I have also tried it using 3G and not wifi
