Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get? Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

Apple is great!
Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get? Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).
I compose an iMessage with the destination as my email address and I attach 2 photos I want on my PC. I send them several times from my iPhone 5C but they never arrive. I look at my ipad later and realize that it's iMessage app is getting ( and swallowing) these emails. I then turn the ipad off. Still can't get the photos through because iphone is now getting them on it's iMessage. I turn off the iMessage feature and try to send photos from text msging. Phone tells me it can't send photos unless iMessage it turned on. What happened to regular MMS text messaging? I go and try to send photos as an email attachment and see that there is no option to attach from the stupid email program. I look up online to learn about the brave new world of apple attachments and send them.
Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?
The email program on my iphone is not configured to remove messages from the server.
If iMessage is turned off I don't have the issue.

Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

Why can't I send a text message while talking on the phone?

Today I was on the phone and received an important text. I tried to answer it, but received the message that it was not delivered. I had to end my call to send the text. Why can't I send a text or get directions from Google Maps while I am on the call?

Google Voice allows texting (and is useful for other things as well). If you're not in the U.S., I don't have any suggestions beyond searching the App Store for "Text" or "SMS". In the U.S., there are a number of apps that allow texting to other people who have the app (much the same way iMessage works) but there are a few that will also allow texting to other phones.
Best of luck.

Why can't I send multiple texts any more? I am on iphone 5 and it is only allowing me to send messages to 10 people at once! Previously on iphones 3 and 4s I could send to many more.

Why can't I send multiple texts any more? I am on iphone 5 and it is only allowing me to send messages to 10 people at once! Previously on iphones 3 and 4s I could send to many more. I use my phone for work and want to send to multiple staff groups or project leaders the same information at the same time and not all of them have email capable phones so text has always been the best solution.
Please help ?

22ms is a long time for your computer, but I am wondering about your network. Are you 10 base or 100 base? Switch or hub? Have you tried a direct connection with a crossover cable? Just trying to spark ideas here. I use TCP all the time but only at 500 ms intervals.

Why can't people send a text message to my new iPad phone number

Why can't people send a text message tou my new iPad phone number? I just got this iPad for my birthday and my wife has secretly told everyone the new number to send text messages to as a surprise when I onpened it... but none came through.

Only individuals with iOS devices can message you and they must message you via the email address(es) associated with your Apple ID.
They cannot message a phone number unless you have an iPhone associated with the account.

Why can't I send a text to a contact from my I-pad but can send to that contact from my I-phone?

Why can't I send a text to a contact from my I-pad but can send to that same contact on my I-phone

Are you saying you are successful in sending text messages to Android users from your iPad? I doubt you can do that as iPad does not SMS, which is what a cell phone does, but iPad is not a cell phone. The Message App in iPad was designed to let you send messages to other iOS based devices.
There are Apps you can get from the App Store, like TextFree, which will assign a number to your account, but from iPad you can text all your contacts regardless of type of device. You will however need to let everyone you message with know what number a message would come from as it won't come from your cell number.

Why can't i send & receive e-mails

Why can't I send and receive e-mails since synching my ipohne4 with I tunes at the weekend. It was working fine up until then

Are you getting any errors? I'm wondering if it "restored" an old password or something from your computer?

Why can"t I send a text?

I had an iPhone 3GS until Feb. of this year and sent text messages with no problem. Including attaching photos. I just purchased an iPhone 4 yesterday and have not been able to send a text. When I push the send key, the progress bar quickly moves to the right and stops at about 95% complete. It stays that way for 15 to 30 seconds and then I get the exclamation mark indicating that the text was not sent? Don't know if it is an Apple or Verizon problem, or me.
Thanks

Why can't iPhones send picture texts???

Most new cell phones can send picture text messages. If the iPhone is so up-to-date, why can't picture messages be sent or received?

mms should have never been replaced... My Nokia N96 is also a smart phone and it has email capabilities as well... and have u ever sent and or received a picture using email from the iphone, The iphone has so much more crap to scroll down b4 you finally get to the picture and not to mention its not as fast as mms also it has more hang ups and errors .... Maybe apple should re-evaluate and add the mms option because I for one will only use my iphone for the cool apps but for everything else my Nokia N96 is much faster and more practical for text and mms messages

Why can't I send / receive messages since upgading to OS 6.1?

Since upgrading to OS 6.0.1 I cannot send / receive messages to anyone without iPhone. I have tried the hard re-start, clear settings, etc? I cannot believe Apple would have done something so poorly with the OS that prevents people to communicate in this way? Any ideas how to text again?

yea, i tried that the other day, and did a factory reset, still have problems though. pics send, but they take forever, and 1/2 the time, they dont send at all.

Why can't i send group texts with iphone 4s?

I've had my new iphone 4s for a few days and love it, but it won't let me send texts to more than one person at a time. I can send individual texts just fine. It will let me add the recipients and compose it but when i send, the send progress bar gets almost to the end and then stalls for about 1 min, then i get the red exclamation point and the option to retry which i do but it never works. the group message option is set to ON but still it doesn't work. Anyone else having this problem?

Experiencing the same exact problem. Progress bar stops and red exclamation pops up. Have u figured anything out?

Why can't I send a text message to more than one contact?

With all my previous cell phones I was able to send a single text message to more than one contact. With the iPhone I can only send to one contact and then I have to type the text message again and send to another contact, and so on. Or am I messing a fuction on the iPhone that allows for sending a text message to more than one contact?

No, you are not missing it. That feature is not available on the iPhone.

Why can't I send a text with imessenger but I can send a picture

I have upgraded to ios5 on my ipad2 and I cannot send a message through imessenger but I can send a picture. The send button is not lit up when I type a message.

Care to elaborate? I don't want to have to type each name individually. I would like to select the group and have the message sent to everyone in that group. As far as I can tell, this is not currently an option on iPhone. I don't understand why.
To clarify, I understand that I can send a message to a group of people. I want to be able to select a pre-created group from my contacts and send a message to everyone in that group.

Why can't I send group text messages on my Iphone 3GS any longer?

I have been sending and receiving group text messages on my iphone 3GS for awhile and all of a sudden I am receiving "Message Send Failure" error messages when I try to send a group message. I think I still get group messages but you can no longer see that it is a group message and who the group members are. I turned the Group setting off and then back on in Settings and turned the phone off and back on with no improvement.

Make sure your account is provisioned for messaging/texting.
Also, Settings > Messages > MMS Messaging > On
