Why are some texts not being received on my iPhone but are on my mac

I just got a new iphone 5C. A friend sent me some pics in a text and it didn't show up on my iphone. The text and pics did show up on my mac though. Can anyone tell me if I have something set wrong on my iphone?

If it showed up on your Mac, that was an iMessage - not a text message as in SMS/MMS.
Was the iMessage addressed to your cell phone number or to your Apple ID email address?

Some texts not being able to send with iPhone 6 Plus 8.1

I recently upgraded my iPhone 5 to the new iPhone 6 Plus. Since then, I have noticed some issues with iMessage. I have not had this problem with any of my other iPhones in the past. I am now experiencing problems when I text certain people I get an exclamation mark with a message saying that the message was not delivered. How do I fix this? This happens with a handful of contacts. Others go through just like normal with no problem. My iPhone 6 Plus is updated to the latest software.

Mostly SMS. I had tried sending an employee an imessage earlier and it didn't go through, but he later replied and said that his phone was off during work. Others are SMS messages to non Apple devices that are not being able to send.

Why is some text not shown after merging multiple documents

One of my clients is using Adobe Acrobat XI and they are merging multiple PDF documents (up to 1000 single PDF's!) to create one big PDF document.
But somehow just some parts of the text are not shown after the merging (it is actually still there because you can copy and paste it in to Word and you will see it again)?
Any suggestions?

Hi Wunold van Drunen,
Since you have identified the problematic pages, have you checked if the issue occurs with the same pdf when merged with a smaller number may be 10 pdfs.
How are these pdfs created? It might be possible that the said document's pdf structure is incorrect.
You may want to sanitize the said pdf's before combining and check.

Texts not being received to my X6-00

My X6-00 phone suddenly in the last 24 hours wont allow my girl friend's text to be delivered from her 5230. Could someone have barred her number on my phone. How do I check it out
please help it's killing me. Thanks Arddy

Can she send messages to Other nos..? ..and also do you receive messages from Others ?
..and also, Can you receive calls from her ?
BTW, I do not think anyone can bar the no. remotely..and the in-built call restricting option ccan only bar calls not Messages, I think..

IPhone "sent" text not being received by ONE particular phone

My AT&T iPhone 4 is sending and receiving all text messages from all phones and carriers.
My friend's Spring LG Rumor recently stopped receiving ONLY my text messages although my phone marks them as sent (no red exclamation point, etc). The Rumor is sending and receiving all text messages from all other phones and carriers, including another different AT&T iPhone.
So, I can get the Rumor's texts, but it specifically can't get mine.
Any thoughts or ideas? I have already reset all settings on my iPhone to no avail.
Thanks!

Transmission of texts is handled by the carrier. If the texts left your phone and arrived at other phones, it can't be an iPhone issue. The only possibility relating to your phone is sending to a wrong cell number.

Texts not being received in Europe.

My son is travelling in Europe.we have been texting for two weeks ok, but suddenly he isn't receiving my texts. I get his ok.any ideas? Thansk.

Hi , Has he checked his EE account to make sure he's still got enough texts left in his package? He'll also need to obviously have proper signal - how do you he isn't receiving your texts, did he e-mail you or something similar? Cheers,

Sent messages not being received from my iPhone

Starting about three weeks ago, I began having sporadic issues with text messages (SMS) and iMessages not going through. I don't appear to have a problem RECEIVING messages, other than they sometimes are delayed by as much as 20 minutes.
I have been on the phone with AT&T support - they point their fingers directly at Apple. I have found no help from Apple on the issue (more finger-pointing).
Texts (SMS) to non-iPhone users are 99% working
Texts/Messages to iPhone users who have Messages set up - I can be having a "conversation" with them and the text bubble will change from blue to green... back to blue, back to green from message-to-message. And about 50% of messages sent via "iMessage" are not going through.
Of interest - it appears that Messages sent via my MacBook Pro are not having the same issue.
One item of possible importance - I had to change my iTunes password right before this problem began (I had posted about an unauthorized movie purchase - which Apple took care of, but forced me to change both my password and to use a different funding source).
It was about that time that messages began to act odd.
I have tried all the settings in the "Messages" settings on my iPhone... turning iMessage off - still some SMS messages don't go through. I read somewhere to turn off "Send as SMS" and that forces the issue... that imroved the successful sends somewhat.
I tried removing email addresses from the "Send & Receive" address list... no change. I then added them back... no change.
It all also appears to be totally random. Sometimes all messages go through without a problem... at other times - the problem gets to the point I'm ready to throw my iPhone in the trash.
But all of this still doesn't clearly put the blame on either party... Is Apple's software tring to swap to SMS for no reason, then not actually sending the message at all? Or is the iPhone sending the message - but AT&T isn't handling them? Neither party wants to admit an issue.

Yes - I am aware of (#3) the SMS splitting issue - just thought it rather odd that they come in consistently out of order, regardless of what carrier they come from.
As far as iMesages and Apple system issues - This unforunately is shaping up to be another symptom of internal issues with Apple. Steve would not have tolerated the inconsistent service.
I went to lunch and completely turned off "use iMessages". I then sent several SMS messages, all of which were delivered as expected (though my wife received a photo that I had sent her two months ago at the same time!).
I then switched iMessages back on and tested it - and so far, all messages have gone through as they should. I am wondering if Apple's server issues might have needed some kind of "reset" of my account by going through this again... who knows.
Either way - so much for the old Apple addage "it just works"....

Why this happens will take some additional research.

Why do some imessages not get sent to my iphone

both my ipad and my iphone are set up to receive imessages sent to either my phone number or email. sometimes when ppl imessage me it will only get sent to my ipad. whenever it happens its always part of a conversation that previously had been working just fine. its frustrating bc i will come home to see a imessage sent hrs or even the day before on my ipad but it never shows up on my iphone which i always have. they are both running the latest version of ios (6.0.2 for iphone and 6.0.1 for ipad). i dont care if my ipad misses a imessage every once in awhile but i expect my iphone to get every one of them. any suggestions?

I also have the same problem. Just today i got a really important imessage, but only on my ipad which was at home, so got to read the message too late. Quite annoying. I also have the latest versions of ios, and iphone 5 and ipad 2. Thanks for your help.

Not being able to sync iphone to more than one mac!

I understand all the legal implications.... file sharing of music, videos,,,yada yada.... But, I have a G4 MDD at home and a G5 2X2.0 at the studio. I want to be able to sync my iphone to BOTH macs. I am a studio engineer, and when I am mixing I like to put my work in progress on my ipod/iphone to I can listen to it on the go. I dont want to lug around my old ipod just for this. I could sync my ipod to multiple macs, but not the iphone.
Does anyone know of a 3rd party app that will let me do this?

Text messages being receive twice by some recipients

Text messages being receive twice by some recipients:
I have had a couple of contacts tell me they are receiving text messages I send from the Z10 twice.
Not everyone thou. I've asked. I'm sending from Rogers to a Rogers user. They both have 9700's.
Any ideas?

Anyway, I followed the steps you provided, and changed all of the settings including <-- Settings <-- FaceTime and Settings <-- Messages <-- Use your Apple ID for messages.
Just to be clear, while you have to use an Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime, you should not be using that e-mail address to receive at or send from since you're using your father's ID. Later in your post it sounds like you de-selected e-mail addresses that were not yours, which is correct, but I wanted to make sure you understand that you should not be using this ID for a contact point since it is not yours.
If your father is still getting your text messages from your friends, I suspect that either:
(a) after making these changes you need to turn iMessage and FaceTime off for a brief period, then turn back on, or
(b) your friends are replying to older messages that you sent from your father's Apple ID, or
(c) your father's iPhone somehow has your e-mail entered as one of the possible contact points for his iPhone.
If the cause is (a) turn iMessage and FaceTime back on since you've already turned them off.
If the cause is (b) see the last paragraph of my 1st post. Send your friends a new iMessage and tell them to only reply to that conversation and delete prior conversations.
If the cause is (b) have your father de-select (or remove) your e-mail address from his iMessage and FaceTime settings.

Text messages or emails?

I'm being asked to enter my ID password on my ipad for icloud, but the email is no longer active and reset remails are not being received.

I'm being asked to enter my ID pswd on my ipad 2 for icloud. but the email address and ID are no longer being used, and reset emails are not being received. How can I deactivate this? I have another ID which works fine, but this issue with the old ID is not allowing me to use my ipad. thanks.

If your iPad is signed into an old ID and you are trying to change it, if the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Sharing photos by email - Emails are not being received

My photos which I have shared by email are not being received, even though I have a confirmation that they have been sent (one photo has been sent).
I am using a @me.com email address and I have tried to send a photo to myself and this has still not been come through.

Do you have iPhoto setup to email the photos itself or use Mail to email the photos?
