Unable to send messages to iphone by ipad 2 by using imessage

Hello,
After the ios 5.0, me and my girlfriend tried to use imessage. I have an ipad 2 and she has iphone 4. Even though we both upgraded our software to 5.0, we are unable to send text to each other. She and I can send text to ourselves but we cannot send to each other.
Anyone any idea why it could happen?
Thank you.

I had issues getting iPad and iPhone to actually sync up when sending test iMessages to my wife who also has iOS 5 on her iPhone.
Whether it was coincidence or not the trick that made it all work was going into both iPhones mine and hers and in the iMessage settings you'll see a field that says caller ID. I changed this option and selected the email address for both iPhones and only after that did I get joy.
Not sure what that option is and it does NOT make her iPhone pulse an email address to other people she texts...
Strange but that worked for me.

    Recently, I have become unable to send emails from my comcast email account.  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the account, but get an error (Cannot send. Username or password for Comcast invalid).  The username and password are correct, though, as my email works fine on my non-Mac laptop. Any suggestions?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • Unable to send messages with attachments greater than 5 Mb using iPad 2

    Hello
    We are running into an issue in our organization where messages forwarded or composed from an iPad 2 ( iOS 6.1.0.3) with an attachment greater than 5 Mb fail to send.
    iOS devices connect through MobileIron into Exchange 2010 SP1 RU8. Our message restriction on the Exchange end is 25 Mb.
    Our MobileIron support team has ruled out any issue on their end. We cannot determine if the matter resides with the devide or Exchange, though we are suspecting the device.
    We are able to forward or compose messages up to 5 Mb without an issue. We have also been able to receive different attachments up to 17 Mb without too much trouble, the exception being a 12 Mb MP4 video. The 12 Mb MP4 file would not download. This is why we're suspecting a device issue.
    Has anyone run into something similar?

    Are you certain it is not a limitation with your SMTP-server? OR the receiving end of your larger-than-10MB message?
    Try and send a big one to yourself. If it doesn't work, try a free SMTP server.

  • HT1267 I am unable to send messages on my iPhone.  I am getting an error when I send it. This just started this morning.

    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? 

    Hi Steve,
    No he has not turned iMessage off, infact when he sends me a message thru iMessage it says 'delivered'. I am at my wits end nd I don't know what to do anymore.

    I recommend reaching out to Citrix via their support system -
    http://www.citrix.com/products/receiver/resources-and-support.html
    The receiver app has a specific list of servers it's compatible with, if the server is not on the list the app won't work in OS X.

    Do you know what server you're connecting to?

  • My apple IPad messages doesn't let me send messages to iPhone numbers at all,help!����

    My apple iPad does t let me send messages to iPhone numbers at all, help 

    iMessage on iPad can only send the messages to a person's Apple ID, not their phone number, that only functions through iPhone to iPhone.
    So make sure you're sending too their Apple ID, and it should all work fine.

  • Email seems to be sent, but it doesn't arrive. No 'unable to send' message, sent items and draft folders are empty. The mail disappears.

    Email seems to be sent, but it doesn't arrive. No 'unable to send' message, sent items and draft folders are empty. The mail disappears. I tried to fully turn off the iPad and have it restart. But it doesn't go off. I keep seeing the small white 'turning wheel' untill the battery is gone. After that, it works again (and so does the e-mail). This happens about every week. What can I do?

    *there's no reason to be paranoid*
    Says Mulder .
    Anyway, as I mentioned, I don't use any sync-able email, just a very plain-jane POP email provider. iSync reports no devices and has nothing in its log, which matches my never having installed anything in need of syncing.
    The thing is, if Mail says its sending something when nothing was ever sent, that's a largish bug whether it is actually sending something or isn't, and there isn't really enough info here to know which of those are the case. Maybe Mail just displays "Sending" because an attempt to do something reasonable is timing out, maybe it does an innocuous and normal POP thing using very confusing nomenclature, or maybe it's really trying to send something which has a wrong flag or something. There isn't really enough info to know what is going on, so I was hoping someone could identify the symptoms.

  • 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.

  • 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

    Hi StuNYC,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you're seeing an alert message when opening Mail on your iOS devices. Do you have multiple email accounts setup on the devices? Take a look at the article below, it provides suggestions that will resolve most issues that  cause an alert like that to appear in when starting the Mail app.

  • E52 "Unable to send message"

    Hi everyone,
    I buy E52 two days ago and i have a lot questions; at the first:
    I have big problem with sending emails because i can't. I have personel mail account with my hosting and i retrieve all messages from my inbox but i can't send a mail.
    I tried gmail account and it's works fine.. 
    I configured my account with pop and imap (my mail server supports both). Both configuration retrieve mails but didn't sent! Always same error "Unable to send message: Name Surname <[email protected]>" 
    By the way I'm from Turkey and in the Turkey smtp 25 port is closed, we're using #587 port and i configured at the email account installation.

    Actually i don't use with Service Provider, you know in the Turkey it's very expensive... I tried only with wireless lan. My salary can't cover Service Provider prices and I'm already use GSM not UMTS or 3G network for battery usage duration...
    By the way, i want use my mail server not Nokia's servers or another... Why i'm connecting Nokia's servers?
    We will try another phone to sure for problem  source not phone... I guess you have two E series phone and i have only one Please try the account information in the below;
     username:[email protected]
     password:hadimassa
    server (pop and imap, incoming and outgoing): mail.baskale.com
     and you should use 587 port for smtp and use outgoing authentication option...

  • 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.
