The use of iMessage depends on both the sender and the receiver having an active data connection. If either of the two connections are interrupted, the message can fail. The sending of an iMessage differs from the sending of an SMS, and if you are having SMS failures, that would be a carrier concern.

  • What should I do when I see this error message: iPhone cannot be synced required disk cannot be found?

    What should I do when I try to sync my iPhone 4s with a MacBook and get the error message: "iPhone cannot be synced...required disk cannot be found?"

    Close "iPhoto" if it is open. Open the "Pictures" folder and right-click on "iPhoto Library." Select "Show Package Contents." Right-click the "iPod Photo Cache" folder, select "Move to Trash" and sync your iPhone. The error message should no longer appear.
    if that doesn't work,
    uninstall itunes and download the lastest version

  • All of a sudden I can't send or receive messages on iPad. Iphone is working fine. It gives me "message failed to send" and is green instead of blue. The only thing I have done differently is turn iCloud on in my iPhone.

    cant receive or send messages on my iPad. Keep getting "message failed to send" and it is green instead of blue. This happened after I turned on iCloud on my iPhone. Would that have anything to do with this problem? It's like its not sincing to my phone but I can send & receive emails ok.

    iOS 7.1.2, huh? It MAY be having some trouble with the iOS 8.x devices and latest iCloud features. Although it meets the minimum system requirements, it does not meet the recommended ones - System requirements for iCloud - Apple Support
    You should try Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support - this is generally the first step in troubleshooting, all devices - for all time
    Message Colors
    Blue is iMessage (Apple service)
    Green is SMS (Carrier service)
    What happens when you use your iPad similarly? (what iPad model & iOS version)
    As a last resort*, Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support - *this document tells that all your data will be lost but provides steps to back-up (Before section) then restore your data (Restore section #4)

    I have been having issues with not receiving texts and voicemails daily, for a few months now. If I turn the phone completely off, when I turn it back on the messages will flood in from hours before. I can't be continually turning off my phone in case someone left me a message. How do I resolve this issue?

    Wifi:  my Cell phone will remember 10 wifi connections.  So delete any you don't use often and your home wifi and try to enter home wifi again.
    if it still won't connect to home wifi, call your internet provider for help.  You may need a newer router or different settings Or upgraded service.   Your phone seeks the best connection and will refuse lesser connections.
    last resort.  Backup the phone.  Do a full reset, then restore as new with the backup.
    if still not fixed, go back to apple and insist on repair or replacement.
    HOWEVER.   voicemail is not a wifi issue, it's a carrier function, which is why the SIM card is a suspect.

  • Text messages fail to send

    Periodically, text messages seem to hang for a long period of time in the "sending" status.  Then I get an error message that says the message failed to send. When I check with the recipient, they usually say they did receive the message.  Sometimes they say they received the same message three times.
    I cannot see a pattern for when these failures occur.  It has happened when I have one bar and when I have 4 bars.  It has happened when I'm connected to 3G or 4G, and when I'm connected to wifi.

        We want to see those picture messages flying again! Does the wireless signal appear strong when attempting the message? What Messaging app are you using myustbedumb? Are you also using a Network Extender?

    Hi Poonam26c,
    If you do not have a local copy of a song which you have purchased (i.e. it is available via iTunes in the Cloud), you may need to redownload it before you can transfer it to your device. You may find the following article helpful:

  • If I'm overseas, and I use iMessage not connected to wifi, and I'm messaging someone who has an iPhone as well with ios 7, will get charged SMS/mms fees?

    if I'm overseas, and I use iMessage not connected to wifi, and I'm messaging someone who has an iPhone as well with ios 7, will get charged SMS/mms fees?

    No, but cellular data will be used at whatever international roaming rate you carrier charges for data in whatever country.
    Exchanging iMessages requires the same thing as email - an available internet connection. SMS/MMS is completely separate from iMessage.

  • "Message Failed To Send," but it actually sends it 6 times!

    This started happening this morning. Whenever I try to send a text, whether it be a regular text or iMessage, I keep getting a message saying "Message Failed To Send," and then it has a red exclamation point by the message and it says "Not Delivered." If that's not annoying enough, the recipients are actually receiving the message 6 times! Is anyone else having this issue? I'm using a [brand new] iPhone 5S on AT&T service, if that matters. I'm about to throw this iPhone at the wall...  HELP!

    Throwing it at the wall will certainly stop it from sending the message six times, along with everything else. First thing to do is reset the phone, following the procedure outlined below.
    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • Messages fail to send constantly..

    I always have 3/4 bars of 4G. if I send a text message more and more often it comes up message failed to send, I've tried putting my phone on aeroplane mode and send the message again but it doesn't work.. any ideas?

    Are phone calls ok? There seems to be a lot of issues with signal around at the mo?
    First of give it the good old fashion turn off and on again, is it all messages that fail?
    If it isn't, go to message, tap details in top right corner, then the i next to the contacts name, this will show you the contact card for that person, the number/email address it is trying to send to will be highlighted blue.
    Normal text messages (green text bubble in message app) will only go to numbers not email addresses, and iMessage will only go to other iOS devices via number or email (blue text bubble)

    Unfortunately, most of my advice is in the "hindsight is 20-20" category.
    First off, I would never have purchased the peripheral accessories until the 14 day return period had expired. Second, you learned the hard way what the "14 days" really means.
    Too bad you didn't do any homework, reading this and other forums and tech sites. Even word of mouth from others. That, more than anything could have steered you towards different phone choices from the get-go and I will leave that there with no further comment other than to say most of the issues you described have been discussed in this forum, ad nauseam.
    Once you got into the refurbished phone exchanges, that is where things really went haywire. What someone tells you over the phone is a sketchy proposition, and when it comes down to it, it's your word against theirs.
    I think Verizon tried to make it right, though. Remember, they don't make the phones. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
    You stated yourself you were a satisfied Verizon customer before this. Had the first two phones performed as they should, you would still be a satisfied Verizon customer.
    Doubt any of that will make you any happier, but after you went through the effort of writing such a long post, I thought I'd try.

    I plan on buying a new  I Pad wit wifi and cell from Apple. But  I don't want to select a cell carrier right now. Q 1: Do I have to select a carrier at purchase? and Q 2, In the meantime will I be able to get on line at home using my Cox Internet wi fi? Thanks. 

    Thanks for the help. Now I can feel comfortable in not having to sign up for cellular when I buy, esp. Since I'll be using my new IPad mostly at home on my Cox wi fi. Then I can see, in using the i pad, how often I'd actually use the cellular, and where. This can help decide which type of cell plan I get. Small problem it may seem, but a very helpful answer. Thanks.

    When I open my internet and got to say the Macy's website and try to bring up all pages in the handbags dept, the screen goes black and it returns to the screen that has all my icons on it. Why?

    Safari is crashing.
    Try a reset:
    Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.
