  • Since updating to iOS7 I am unable to send or receive messages on my iPad. What can I do to solve this problem?

    Since updating my iPad mini I have been unable to send or receive messages. My iPad only wants to recognize contacts with apple products but still won't deliver a message to them. What can I do to solve this problem?

    Try restarting the device first..
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, then swipe the slider to power off.
    Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, try here > iOS: Troubleshooting Messages

  • Unable to send or receive messages for the Btinter...

    Hello
    I use Windows Live Mail to download my emails. This is working fine on two computers for other BT Internet and Gmail accounts. But one of my main BT accounts consistently receives the following messages on both computers:
    Unable to send or receive messages for the Btinternet (xxx) account. 
    Server Error: 0x800CCC90
    Server Response: -ERR inactivity timeout
    Server: 'mail.btinternet.com'

    The messages for this account are available via webmail, and sending an email works. 
    I've tried BT Desktop Help, but this simply sends me in the direction of standard advice pages. I have no reason to think the settings are wrong. 
    Could anyone suggest what is going on here please?

    Hi. Welcome to the forums.
    For starters, the recommendation by many people is to uninstall BT Desktop help.
    If this has always been the case, rather than a sporadic issue, then it could be an account problem that seems to plague some accounts - and has done for years. Hopefully the changeover from Yahoo! to Critical Path will cure this particular issue. Try the other settings mentioned by Keith.
    Even though some accounts are fine, there is still a possibility that your local security software can interfere. For example if you have email scanning turned on - then this can be turned off to see if that helps.

  • Unable to send or receive messages?

    I bought a new iphone 4 and after syncing was unable to send or receive messages?

    Hi,
    Welcome to the    Discussions
    The First Step is to try changing the Style of the Messages.
    Open a Chat Window to Anybody (you do not have to Send anything you an only do this when a chat window is open).
    Go to the View Menu > Messages option
    In there change it from balloons to anything else.
    Try a Text Chat with someone.
    If this does not seem to be it try changing the Font choice in iChat > Preferences > Messages.
    The Default is Helvetica and certain variants of this Font can cause problems in iChat (Helvetica Fractions for instance).
    If changing the Font works use the Font Book to check the Font. (presuming you re-installed any Font you may have chosen for iChat.)

  • Why is that when I downloaded the iOS 7 for my iphone 5 that it changed my send and receive for imessages to a random number but my SMS messages are still linked to my phone number?

    Why is that when I downloaded the iOS 7 for my iphone 5 that it changed my send and receive for imessages to a random number but my SMS messages are still linked to my phone number?

    I just encountered this problem for the first time and stumbled upon this forum to find a solution.  I played around with it a bit and it seems that if you slide your finger from the bottom up, you will come upon that new screen that will allow you to do various functions with your phone (put it in airport mode, lock, etc.), you can select your Airport from this screen and play your music wirelessly from your phone; at least this was my experience. Hope this helps!

  • HT3529 I am confused about messaging. Shouldn't I be able to send and receive messages with cellular data off?  I can usually send the message, but often do not receive messages until I either have wifi or turn cellular on.

    I am confused about messaging. Shouldn't I be able to send and receive messages with cellular data off and without wifi? I can send the message but often do not receive messages from others, iPhone or other, until  I turn on cellular or wifi.

    Depends on the type of Message.
    SMS messages will send and receive with data off.  and while you can guarantee you send using SMS you cannot guarantee that whoever replies to you does also. They may be replying thorugh iMessage if they are using iPhones.
    However Android should be sending through SMS.
    You can turn off iMessage if you want to, though people with limtied SMS text messaging in their plans may not appreciate it, and stop messaging you.

  • I am suddenly unable to send or receive messages on my iMac.  It says "OFFLINE" in italics and I can't change it.

    This is a new problem and seems to have begun after apple "upgraded" to ios 7 et al.  I logged out and logged back in - NADA. The upgrade downgraded many things that had worked just fine before.  What is happening to quality control in APPLE?  Not dependable any more for sure!!!!!!!!!!! 

    You can try resetting your iPhone. Make sure to make a backup of your data.

    Thank you for your assistance.
    Unable to send or receive messages for the Verizon (xxxxxxxxx) account. The connection to the server has failed.
    Server: 'incoming.verizon.net'
    Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0E

    Try this first - 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.)
    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 or receive media messages. LG Lucid

    I got this phone in mid-April, however since getting it I have been unable to send and receive media messages. I am however able to send/receive media emails. I am using Chomp SMS for texting, as the default messaging application wasn't splicing long texts (sending one blank message instead, or simply failing to send). However, even with Chomp I am unable to receive/send media messages. I am at first given a "download" option for the media image/file, and then it turns into an unlinked box and a URL that never leads anywhere.

        I understand the importance of communicating via text and I'm here to assist you! You are currently using a 3rd party application in which we do not support but I would like to get to the root of the problem. Can you attempt to send a picture message to and from your self via the stock messaging feature that originally came with the phone? Once you attempt to send/receive the message please reply back with the results.  I look forward to hearing from you soon.

  • Unable to send or receive text messages

    I just activated my Droid Razr and I'm unable to send or receive text messages.  Sending and receiving phone calls and emails works fine.  Any ideas?

        Thanks to the community for your contributions.
    Hello Tim952,
    I use text messages on a daily basis to keep in touch with friends and family so I understand how important it is to get this resolved. How long have you had this issue? What zip code are you located in? Do you receive an error when sending a message? Are you using a third party messaging application? If so, please remove and retry with the stock messaging application. Please share additional details so I can better assist.
