Why am I not able to send or receive imessages?

I am wondering why I am not able to send or receive imessages anymore?

Try turning off iMessage, wait a couple of minutes, then turn it back on. If that doesn't resolve it there are additional troubleshooting steps here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755.

My wife and I share the same email address and Apple ID. We are not able to send and receive Text Messages to one another.

My wife and I share the same email address and Apple ID. We are not able to send and receive Text Messages to one another. Is the cause of this because we share the same Apple ID? Will we have to set up 2 separate primary email addresses to be able to send and receive Tex Messages to one another? Like I said, we share the same email address and woul like to keep it that way to keep up with our email together. Is there a way to by-pass having to set up 2 primary emaill addresses if this is the problem?
Thanks.

go to the settings and turn off imessage
but that don't change the issue that you will never be able to facetime eachtoher
the appleID is really meant as the handle that identify you it was not meant to be shared
but can see that people may want to do not buy apps more then once

Hello! Im having problems about my Iphone showing NO SERVICE on top. Im not able to send and receive msg, same with calls

Hello Guys! I hope someone could help me, Im having trouble with my phone's signal, I am not able to send and receive msgs, same as make calls and receive calls. At first, my phone is working fine (iphone 4, iOS 7.0.4) and all of a sudden, my text messages are not getting through, and I noticed that my phone shows NO SERVICE, I refreshed the phone by turning it off and turning it on after a couple of minutes, it worked. My phone is okay again after that, Im able to send and receive messages again. But after few hours, the problem came again. NO SERVICE sign is displayed again, but this time after refreshing the phone nothing good happened. I tried almost every possible thing I can to fix it but it doesn't work. What should I do.
Thank you

Hey Clara,
These are the recommended troubleshooting steps to resolve No Service issues on iPhone:
Toggle airplane mode: Tap Settings > Enable Airplane Mode, wait five seconds, then turn off airplane mode.
Turn iPhone off and then on again.
Remove the SIM card and verify that it's a valid, carrier-manufactured SIM. Also verify that it isn't damaged, worn, or modified. Then reinsert it.
Check for a carrier-settings update. Connect to a Wi-Fi network. Then tap Settings > General > About. If an update is available, iOS will ask you if you want to install it. If Wi-Fi isn't available, connect your device to iTunes.
Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
Restore the iPhone.
If you are outside the United States, please also follow these steps:
Go to Settings > Carrier > Automatic.
If the phone registers any carrier network, Settings > Carrier will be present.
If the Carrier option is missing in Settings and you are outside of the Unites States, please contact Apple for support and service options.
Set the option for Automatic to off.
A list of potentially available carriers appears after about two minutes. If the device is locked to a carrier, it may connect only to the carrier network to which it is locked. If the device displays carrier networks, then the device is working as expected.
Set Settings > Carrier > Automatic back to on.
If you're still experiencing No Service issues, contact your carrier to check for any network or account issues that could cause these symptoms.

Reboot the device....
Restart: Press and hold the upper edge power button about 20-30 seconds, ignore the 3-2-1 timer and hold until the screen goes black and you see the red LED.
or
Reboot: On the side edge volume keys, press and hold down both of the Up and Down volume keys for about 20 seconds, ignoring the initial screenshot message... the screen will go black and reboot.
Now, try again.

Not able to send or receive SMS messages on iMessage on mac

When I first updated to Yosemite the new SMS feature on iMessage was working. I had to replace my home button and screen on my iPhone 5s and after that it stopped working. I am not sure if having that repair done on my phone has anything to do with my above problem. Please help

Hi Ralph,
Thank you for your reply.
Ok, I will try to explain myself better.
When I say:
- Messages, I am talking about the software to send and receive iMessages and SMS.
- iMessage, is the blue bubble
- SMS is the green bubble
Facetime is because if someones callsme and I do not answer quickly on iPhone, and the Macs are using the same network as iPhone, the VoiceCall pops ups and rings, and usually I activate the Facetime option (when is a iPhone). Sorry about this confusion.
So basically, a week ago, I could send and receive SMS, iMessage on my Macs to/from anyone.
Now, I just can send iMessages (blue bubbles with blue name/contact on top [TO:]) and I can't send SMS (text messages, green bubble), I receive error (red exclamation point) and the name/contacts on top [To:] are red.
And as I told, I think it might be because of the new iOS update with iTunes recovery. Because it is the only similar thing I can relate with "loyalchiver" (when an iPhone goes to repair, the restore it.) That's why I tried signout/in in all Macs, but still not working.
About the Text Forwarding function, I had searched and what I was getting was to go to Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding, but this last option didn't appear, so I thought this was because the pages/foruns that I was reading was for the version 8.1 and not 8.1.1 (Apple could change it, I don't know). But while I was trying to put this working, I had rebooted some where and when I saw your reply, I went again there, and I had the Text Message Forwarding option, so all I had to do was activating it. Thank you!
To "labelchiver", I am not sure how I did it, but try this:
1. close all applications running on background.
2. reboot your iphone.
3. go to Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding .
4. If you can enter there and your mac is linked, unlink it and link it again.
5. Hope it works for you
Once again, thank you for your help and I apologize for my confusions about the labels. Cheers!

Fax not able to send or receive

I have the Laserjet Pro 200 Color MFP printer which I use wireless, and it has been working fine unil now. When sending, I get the "no fax detected, no fax received" and when sending a fax i hear the ringing but it never connects, no answer. I have uninstalled and re-installed, checked the phone line, changed small settings but nothing is working. I did a fax test and everything PASSED, I did a network test and everything is working there as well. There are 2 phone lines, one is a dedicated fax line only, and the other line does have a voicemail system by Verizon, but only the fax line is connected to the printer which goes directly into the wall jack. Both phone lines work and have a dial tone. So, any help on what to do would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You.

Hi bertley32,
Thanks for letting me know.
Try sending a fax to the HP Fax Back number: 1-888-473-2963, to see if you have the same results.
If you connect a phone to the printer, can you call out?
Update the printer's firmware. HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276nw Drivers.

I'am not able to send or receive emails

To whom it may concern .Since the past few days i'am unable to receive or send emails suddenly. pls help!! I have important emails coming related to my job..
Regards
Basil Masters

Hello,
You can first try to login to your web mail and check if you can send/receive emails. If so, you can regard it as a temporary alternative to view your emails.
In addition to Clark Kent's suggestion, you can also try to temporarily disable your antivirus/firewall and then check the issue again.
Also try to recreate your send/receive settings file to check if it helps. To do this, navigate to
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Outlook, renaming the srs-file (<profilename>.srs) to .old when Outlook is closed. Then, restart Outlook and test the issue again.

Hi waqaskhan91,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you're not able to send text or iMessages to certain contacts after updating your iPhone, start with the troubleshooting tips in this article:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
If you only see this behavior with a few contacts, you may want to try these steps first:
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward 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 recreate the contact from the Contacts app. Send a new message to the contact.
Best Regards,
Jeremy

Hi hussainratlami,
Welcome to BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Can you provide a bit more information please?
How are your company's email addresses being forwarded to the BlackBerry smartphones?
Are you using an BlackBerry Enterprise Server?
If you are using the BlackBerry Internet Service, are the email accounts being forwarded to a <carrier>.blackberry.net email address or to another integrated email address? If they are not, are they integrated as POP, IMAP, or OWA in the BlackBerry Internet Service accounts?

Why can't I send or receive iMessages from one person but I can from all my other friends?

As of Last Monday I haven't been able to send or receive iMessages for one of my friends when I send the message it says delivered but that person dosent receive it but it works for all my other friends and it work if I send a normal SMS text help pls I'm really confused thanks in advance :)

It sounds like your or your friend had gotten hit by the "iMessage bug" that Apple has confirmed. They state it is only impacting a fraction of a percent of the iPhone users (which means it could be over 90,000 iphone users since 9 million were sold recently). I would have both you and yoru friend restart your iPhones (hold the home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears - it shoudl take about 10-20 seconds) then wait for the iPhone to restart and try sending an iMessage again.

Why am I not able to send or receive imessages?
