We've tried reactivating iMessage, deleting threads, and contacts but nothing seems to work. Has this happened to anyone else?

Restart both devices (press the HOME and power button until the Apple logo appears then releasae).  If both devices have iMessage turned on and to send as SMS when iMessage is not available, the the green messages are indicative of iMessage not being available on one or both devices.

  • Msg 2114 error when i try to text this one person with my iPhone 4S???

    I seem to have an issue when i try to text this one person.....
    They do NOT recieve my texts.....but i can recieve theirs.
    I get a message after i send them a text from 923-0 that says i used the invalid number of digits.....MSG 2114
    Tried deleting the contact , resending just using the number hand typed in...and still does not work!
    HELP!!!

    Finally Worked!  Remove all instances of the contact name and number used in previous messages, phone calls, recents, etc.  Shut down sms, mms, imessage, etc in settings.  Restart phone.  Go back to settings and restart sms, mms, imessage.  Send a text without creating the contact first, just enter the 10 digit cell number and send text.  Worked for my iphone 4s texting to 1 person's android I couldn't send before.  That 1 person was a previous contact that had only 7 digits entered  for the phone number.  Now I added that contact back to the list and sending text still works.  Contact phone number now shows up as +1 (xxx) xxx-xxxx .  Thanks wjosten.

    Almost every time my daughter FaceTimes me, another person answers and he is getting very annoyed. I have checked my settings and can't figure out why this is happening.

    Is she facetiming your phone number or email address, b/c email address should not do that.. Was there an old iPhone associated with your number or email?  I've seen texts show up on long "deactivated" devices..

    Sounds to me like you've almost cracked it!
    You have one error that could cause problems and that's the stray </blockquote> tag.  Just delete it.
    The alt="" text will show as an error on the validator but that's easy to fix and worth doing.
    Here's an easy article on that: http://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/200412/the_alt_and_title_attributes/
    In one of your CSS files (JonzheaderindexCSS.css) you have this:
    body {
    margin-top: 20px;
    padding: 0;
    color: #666;
    font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
    font-size: 14px;
    line-height: normal;
    background-attachment: fixed;
    background-color: #E1B852;
    background-image: url(../images/orange%20plaid.jpg);
    background-repeat: repeat;
    html { overflow-y: scroll; }
    It should be like this:
    html {
    overflow-y: scroll;
    body {
    margin-top: 20px;
    padding: 0;
    color: #666;
    font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
    font-size: 14px;
    line-height: normal;
    background-attachment: fixed;
    background-color: #E1B852;
    background-image: url(../images/orange%20plaid.jpg);
    background-repeat: repeat;
    It looks like you have that rule repeated further down the page like this:
    html { overflow-y: scroll; }
    There's an extra curly brace there (}) anyway, so it is badly formed but the whole rule and extra curly brace can go.
    You can fix those errors but I have a sneaky suspicion that it isn't gong to solve the issue you describe.
    Fix those issues anyway and post back.  Maybe if you can show a screen shot of what you are seeing in DW it might help?
    Martin
    PS: It's never a good idea to have file names on the web that have spaces in.  Your background rule has this:
    background-image: url(../images/orange%20plaid.jpg);
    That .jpg should be orangeplaid.jpg or orangePlaid.jpg or orange_plaid.jpg and the change should be reflected in the reference to the image so, orangePlaid.jpg should be:
    background-image: url(../images/orangePlaid.jpg);

  • I'm getting error messages when I download updates for lightroom and flash for the mac. can't figure out how to trouble shoot.

    I'm getting error messages when I download updates for lightroom and flash for the mac. can't figure out how to trouble shoot.

    It sounds as if your browser and some of your apps are not color-managed.  This is pretty typical.  Even IE9 is only partially color-managed.
    You can expect color-managed and non-color-managed applications to show you different things with the same images.  How different will depend upon how different your monitor color profile is from the image's color profile.
    For web publication and most general use, experts usually advise saving images with the sRGB profile.  If such images, saved through the Save for Web & Devices function, look different to you than you expect, it may be that your input images have previously been saved in another color space.
    You should really try to get your head around color-management by reading more on it.  It can seem baffling and it's difficult to understand without some background.  A quick web search turns up many overviews.  Beware, though, even people writing articles sometimes don't fully understand it.

    Well, one extreme that I eventually had to go to was inserting a new row with only the primary keys, which were numerical columns, while just setting the strings to empty values.
    INSERT INTO Courses VALUES(?,?,?,1,0,?,'','','','','','','','','')
    Access finally seemed to handle this without barfing.
    Then, I updated each string column ...if you can believe it ...one at a time in a for loop from a custom 'RowUpdateSet' object. This actually worked well because eventually I also used it to update the row when necessary, and to only update columns whose values had changed. One teeny weeny snippet from a great deal of code looked like this...
      for ( int i=1; i<length; i++ ) {
        if ( updateSet.getUpdateColumn( i ) ) {
          synchronized ( updateSet ) {
            scrollResults.updateObject(i,(String)updateSet.getUpdateValue(i));
            scrollResults.updateRow();
      }I guess I will likely get flamed for participating in this whole discussion, because it all does become quite irrational. I can see why peoples initial response is likely ..."what, couldn't you even debug your own sql string bozo?" All I know is, there seems to be insert statements that Access just mysteriously refuses to perform ...and it has nothing to do with terminated strings or syntax errors. How you choose to perservere and 'get the job done' is probably as unique to each individual as is the whole mysterious error in the first place. I just got tired of staring at what appeared to be a totally disfunctional environment and decided to go around the problem and get done with the project ...which eventually worked like a charm.
    This is exactly what I meant when I said don't look too closely or you might wind up distrusting this technology you are working with on a day to day basis. Frankly, the more I work with technology the more I realize that I, for example, will never use my credit card over the web (particularly with .NET in the picture). I am sure you can find another way to get to the results you want if you think about it creatively. I got my project done. I just didn't get there in the way I had expected I would. Maybe that's not even a bad thing, even though it can be extremely frustrating at times. When we look at all the disclaimers that come with software these days, or look at faster and faster computers that just run slower and slower, maybe we shouldn't expect so much from technology. At least Java allows you to write your own logic and often work around these impediments ...which is still alot better than being stuck with .COM libraries that force you to abandon a project half way through when you find out the library fails to live up to its claims in the reference manual.
    Sorry your project is on hold at the moment. If no one else answers, start a new thread that asks your question again, and I will butt out. Maybe there is someone who has found out what causes this issue. After all, I can only speak from my own experiences ...and I am far from being an authority on any issue surrounding technology. Good luck, and don't give up. I am sure there is a way to get where you want to go.
    After saying all that, I realize kev wrote a response while I was composing this one. As he implores, yes ...do be certain you have eliminated all the obvious possibilities before you adventure into any painfull work-arounds. Really, I wish you all the best of luck.

  • Why does my Iphone 5 ring when I get a call, but can not figure out why there is NO sound when I get a text?

    Why does my Iphone 5 ring when I get a call, but can't not figure out why it does not make a sound, when I receive a text or typing???

    Deborah,
    The solutions on here did not work for me.   I tried.....
    I have the same problem with a BRAND NEW iPhone 5c version 7.1- no sound when a text message arrives.
    (1) I have "do not disturb" scheduled correctly.   No partial moon on the main screen near the time and battery indicator.
    (2) I have the ringer icon correct with no slash.    Yes I turned the hardward mute switch to the UP position (ie the one above the + and - buttons on the left side.   I tried messaging with the bell as shown and bell with a slash and neither work.   The mute switch is not red (switch above the + volume hardware switch)     I enabled some assistant using the Settings menu.    And I press the dot (looks like a target symbol) and go to Devices and I can see what position the bell is in....either a bell with a slash or no slash.
    (3) Yes ringtones are configured for text and other. I can hear them when I am under settings > sounds.   But they do not link with the actual hardware.
    (4) I rebooted the iPhone 5c by using the button at top, slide the red bar, then pressed it again, apple came up for a minute and it seemed to be back up.
    (5) I upgraded the IPhone 5c from 7.0.4 to 7.1 using my pc and itunes.   And the upgrade was successful but did not fix the text issue.
    (6) I do not have it in airplane mode or silent mode.
    (7) I reset all settings using Setttings > General > reset > reset all settings .  this wipes settings but not data and media.
    This is really frustrating.

    Double click the home button (square)  and all the things you did are there.keep sliding the bar that will come up on the bottom to the left till it cant go anymore there should be a icon looking like this.press that and it should work
    Good luck hope it works.

  • Why are you not working? I can't figure out why this works in 1 doc, and not in another

    I'm trying to take info from a cell on 1 spreadsheet and have it populate into a different one (pending if checkbox is true or not). I've been able to do it with 2 files but for some reason this one isn't doing what I need. If the checkbox is unchecked the text should stay in the new spreadsheet cell, if it's checked I want the row removed, but for reason instead of removing the row it just places a 0 in the cell.
    This is what I want:
    Like I said it works great on the other doc, just not on this new one. (the 2 docs vary with some of the text, but in the second image I've "checkboxed" out some of the text)
    Please help!
    Thanks!
    Nikki

    You may have the wrong cell reference  (B2) in the second part of your formula. If B2 is empty, the result will be displayed as a 0. Did you mean to have A2 in both parts of the formula?

  • Every e-mail I get comes with a duplicate. I've tried looking at the different features of the program, but I can't figure out why this is happening. Help!

    This has been happening for several years now. After one of the updates, I started getting the duplicates. I've lived with problem for a long time because I could still get e-mails, if over abundantly. My e-mail volume has gone up and up, however, and I'm now getting 60 or 70 e-mails a day because of this problem. Can someone tell me how to fix this?

    I think I might have figured out what the problem is. I have inadvertently set up two Thunderbird accounts. When I followed your advice, I was able to open the pop folder. I also had a mail folder and opened it to find another pop folder. In both pop folders I found a popstate.dat file. When I went into account settings, I found that I had somehow set up two cbldw accounts. The one at the top said mail as incoming server. The second account showed pop as the incoming server. Now this is what perplexes me. Do I attempt to get rid of one of the accounts? I took both popstate.dat files out of the folders and put them on my desktop. When I went back into the two mail folders, behold, the popstate. dat files were still in the folder, having been altered at the time I took them out of the folders.
    I'm really in a quandary as to how to proceed. I'm not sure I can delete the second Thunderbird account without wrecking havoc on my primary e-mail source, and there are a few subtle differences in the two different preferences sections.
    Any helpful suggestions?

    Hello Kfswift,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with iMessage on your iPad.  I recommend the following steps for the issue you described:
    To resolve issues with sending and receiving iMessages, follow these steps first
    Check iMessage system status for current service issues.
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that you have registered iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID and that you have selected iMessage for use. Learn more abouttroubleshooting iMessage registration if the phone number or Apple ID isn't available for use.
    Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify data connectivity. Learn more about troubleshootingcellular data or a Wi-Fi connection if a data connection isn't available.
    iMessage over cellular data might not be available while on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on to use iMessage while on a call if your network doesn't support simultaneous data and voice calls.
    Restart your device.
    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
    If you are still unable to send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
    Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
    Verify that the contact you are attempting to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up orforward 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 re-create the contact in the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
    Back up and restore your device as new.
