Why are texts I send being received as MMS messages?

We want to get your text messages working properly NickBob! I know it can be annoying downloading the email to view your messages. What is your make/model of your device? When did you start having this issue? What messaging application are you using?

Why are my texts being received as picture message emails?

When I send a text from work to my wife from my iphone 4 she receives an email on her iphone 3GS and her ipad 2 from <my phone number>@media messaging.o2.co.uk. The email says 'Here's a picture message you've been sent from <my phone number>. The message has no other content even though it is indicated that there is an attachment.
Is this a problem with my network provider or are there some settings which need changing?

I'm also having this problem intermittently when the other phone is outside 3G coverage (on Edge or GPRS). iMessage and Send As SMS are on on both phones. This should be reproducable at home by turning cellular data off. Will check tonight.

I have 2 phones on my iTunes account, why are text messages showing on the second phone when sent from the first

I have 2 phones on my iTunes account, why are text messages showing on the second phone when sent from the first phone?

it's meant to work like that
so if you receive a message on your iphone you also get it on your ipad or ipod touch
to avoid it use separate appleID for each device
or turn off imessage on 1 or both devices in their settings
but that will not fix the issue that 2 devices using the same appleID will never be able to facetime eachother
the appleID is a unique handle for 1 user only

Authorized Access to your Google Account
*You will see a box to type in something (I just typed in iPad) then click "Generate Password"

Why can't i receive an i-message from an i-phone user?

Why can't I receive/send i-messages? If recieve them, they go through text-plus. I can only send messages to certain people.

Look at the Contact Info for the person you are trying to message under "Contacts". If their number is listed under "Mobile" and not "iPhone" then it won't let you contact them. All you have to do is list the number as an iPhone number. You can only recieve and send messages to/from people with an iOS device.

I have a Galaxy S5 with Global International plan in place. My txt to Jamaica are not being received there, but others are. Is there a setting in my phone I need turned on? Verizon customer service doesn't have any answers.

I have a Galaxy S5 with Global International plan in place. My txt to Jamaica are not being received there, but others are. I can receive the messages, but not send. I get an msg saying, message to (my daughters number) failed: Network problem. Is there a setting in my phone I need turned on? Verizon customer service doesn't have any answers.

Hello ffdaisy! I sure hope you're having a great time in Jamaica! I'm so sorry about your messages. Let's get going on a resolution! to clarify, are you able to receive messages? Can you send to the states, but not to numbers originating in Jamaica? First, I want to let you know how to get in touch with our Global Support Team while outside the US. Just click here for the information: http://vz.to/18oaptS Second, I'd like to provide you with the dialing pattern for messaging to US numbers, and Jamaica nunbers. For the US, dial 1, then the area code, then the 7-digit number. for Jamaica numbers, dial area code 876, then the 7-digit number. For more information, click here: vzw.com/international Thanks so much, and have a great trip!

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?

Yahoo e-mails are not being received on iphone 4.

Yahoo e-mails are not being received on iphone 4. I had to go website to retrieve about 50 emails from last couple of days. Everything looks correct in settings and I haven't changed anything that I know of. Please help if you've encountered this issue.

I tried the suggestion of deleting the account and starting over from scratch (twice), to no avail.

Why are we being pushed to upgrade to iOS 8 when it isn't compatible with Maverick?

Why are we being pushed to upgrade to iOS 8 when it isn't compatible with Maverick? I just tried to open an iCloud document after upgrading to iOS 8 in all my Apple smart devices and OSX 10.9.5 on my MacBook Pro, only to be told that the new iCloud isn't compatible with Maverick and that I should upgrade to Yosemite. Problem is, Yosemite is only available as a Beta and won't have a public release until Oct. 21. Why would Apple cut its users off from iCloud like this?

plotdot wrote:
Checking with my better half, I'm now even more perturbed. According the the iCloud Drive FAQ, it's compatible with PCs running Windows 7. The current Windows OS is 8, which means Apple made iCloud backwardly compatible with Windows, for PC users, but not for its own customers. That *****.
iTunes customers are Apple customers, what are you going on about?

The way websites render is out of your control. Try a different browser. Try making your viewing window larger or smaller as a possible work a round.
If you are truly using 10.4.11 as you indicate, more than likely your browsers are outdated version which may not be compatible.

"Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped" error keeps popping up and text messages are not being received on Droid Maxx I got less than 2 weeks ago.

I upgraded to a Droid Maxx about 2 weeks ago and all seemed well. Last Friday, I started receiving an "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped" error message randomly--sometimes when I was writing a text, sometimes when I would open other apps, there was no rhyme or reason to when it would occur. Now it also appears that I am not receiving some of my texts. I called Verizon Support who told me that they are experiencing this problem on several devices and that she was going to forward me to someone for help. 20 minutes later, no one had picked up and I had to leave. So I thought I would try here to see if Verizon has come up with a fix for this, if I should get another phone, or if they are working on a software update or something. Help, I really liked this phone until now!

Hello,
I am using the messaging app that was preloaded with the phone, the green face icon. I do not have an "Android Keyboard" app, but I have cleared the cache on the "Messaging" app, several times. I have also gone to the Verizon store where an associate did a soft reboot, telling me that would work. A very short time later, the error message started appearing again--so this did not work either.
The error message comes very sporadically. Sometimes several in a few minutes, other times not for hours.

Keep receiving same MMS message over and over - can this be stopped?

Since two days ago I have received 25 copies of the same MMS message. It originally took much longer than normal for it to arrive, but it is now becoming annoying and I'd like to know I'd there's anything I can do to stop it. Both I and the sender have deleted the message, and rebooted our phones, but to no avail. Both are iPhone 4S, on O2. Thanks!

Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears)

Why do I keep receiving the error message: disk failed image corrupt

I am trying to upgrade my version of Firefox from 2.0.0.2 (downloaded Nov. 2007) to the new version 3.6.12. on my IMac desktop computer.
When I download the file I receive a white and grey icon that says Firefox 3.6.12.dmg. When I click on this icon I receive the error message:
mounting disk failed; image corrupt.
