Why can't I send i-message and use facetime with my iphone 4s(BTW, there is nothing wrong with my apple account))

Why can't I send i-message and use facetime with my iphone 4s(BTW, there is nothing wrong with my apple account))
It functioned well originally, but a month ago I could not use facetime and send i-message anymore. I think there is nothing wrong with my apple ID because I can still download apps in apple store.

Try turning both iMessages and Facetime off in SETTINGS then re-enable iMessages and then Facetime. See if that helps.

Why can't I send an iMessage to someone from my iPad unless they message me first?

Why can't I send an iMessage to someone from my iPad unless they message me first? Even if it is someone I have chatted with on iMessage before, if they have been cleared off my screen, I can't send them anything unless they message me first. I know for a fact they have an up to date iPhone.

OK.
Turn off and on (restart) your iOS device (press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds, then slide the slider.)
If restarting doesn’t fix it:
It has been reported that changing your DNS settings fixes this issue. To change DNS servers, follow these instructions for iOS devices (iPhone, iPod touch, iPad):
Tap Settings
Tap Wi-Fi on the left-hand side
Tap the blue arrow next to your current Wi-Fi network
Tap the “DNS” field and enter the DNS servers; 8.8.8.8
Now see if it is working.

Why can't I send an imessage on my ipad, but i can on my iphone? (Same receiver)

I can't send an imessage on my ipad, but I can when using my iphone. The message is being sent to the same person on both devices, but only the iphone sends it. The receiver is registered with imessage, but when I go to send the message, it says "this person is not registered with imessage". Also, emails do not work either. The send button is grey, and I am registered with imessage. Why does this happen? help?

Why can't I send an iMessage to one person only?

I can iMessage everyone on my iPhone but I can't iMessage this one person I've tried like three times but it just says "not delivered". Please help!

Do they still use an iOS device? If they had an iOS device and moved to a different type of device there was an issue where their number was still registered under iMessage and would not send as a regular text. Apple has created a way for those people to disconnect their number from iMessage so texts can then be received by iOS users.

HT4993 Why can't I send an Imessage anymore?

Why can't I send an iMessage without attaching a photo?

Hi,
When I upgraded to iOS5 and got the iMessage app I was able to send an iMessage with no problem. Now all of a sudden I can't if I don't attach a photo. The send button doesn't get activated if I only type a text for sending. I have to click on the camera button and take or select a photo before the send button gets activated.
Thanks in advance,
Al

Yes and that didn't work but I just read a response from MTreece to another in the community with same problem that I have and that solved it. I was only typing text in the subject box and not the text box. Thanks for responding anyway.
Cheers!

My new ipad cant send imessage and use facetime

Hi everyone. My new ipad cannot send using imessage. Facetime won't work either. It has the same email ad as my imessage in iphone but i already turned it off and it still won't work. It only happend to me just now, i've been using it with for a month with my iphone. Before it was working with my iphone. I do not know why it wont send imessage and facetime right now. But other internet related apps work like safari and appstore and social networking sites.

I already fixed my imessage and facetime. I changed the DNS setting of my wifi. Maybe you can try it too. Go to the wifi then press the arrow on the right side, look for the DNS portion and change it to 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4. I hope that will work on you too.

Why can't I send picture messages and group messages with MMS?

Picture messages fail to certain people with invalid destination address. Then the group messages won't send unless I send them as individual texts. Very frustrating.

I am having this same issue! I got my S3 in December & it has worked fine until about a month and half ago. . .around the time of latest software update! I can not send MMMS messages (group texts, pics, videos). It doesn't matter if I am on wi-fi, 3g, 4g LTE. It does not send!!! And I am getting ******. Help Verizon!!

Why can't I send an iMessage on my iPad?

I have iMessage enabled on my iPad. iMessages sent and received via my iPhone appear on my iPad, but if I try to respond on my iPad it won't send.

TS1398 Why can't I activate my iMessage or my FaceTime on my iPad mini. When I try it says unable to activate check network settings.

When I try activating my iMessage or FaceTime it says unable to activate check network settings. One day it just stopped working and I updated to 6.1.2 to try and fix it and now it won't let me activate it at all. Can someone help me?

I too faced the same problem . I was using imessage in ios6 and when i upgraded , There were issues like ,
check network connections and Try again . , Connect to itunes for Push notifications . It was irritating and annoying for everyone i guess
Steps to Resolve the i meeage issue
1) Connect your phone to P.C and Back up your datas to P.C via I tunes
2) Once the back up is complete . Connect your phonbe to Wifi or 3G cellular network and Boldly go to Settings-->General --> Reset--> Erase all datas
( Do not worry if you had backed up your datas )
3) Iphone will reboot . it will take some time
4) Then your iphone will start . Click next and you will be prompted for i message activation . Give your apple id and Sign in
5)Keep your phone connected . In P.C you will be prompted if you want to restore ( EOther wise go to I tunes --> File --> Device--> Restore back up
It really worked for me .
Hope this is clear.
Thanks

Why can't i send imessages to my dads iphone?

Why can't i send a imessage to my dads iphone??
It comes up with not delivered and when i press retry it does nothing??
What is happening??

1. Messages on the iPad can only be sent to other iDevices and Mac Computers running Mountain Lion.
2. They must also be registered with iMessage
Note: The two above conditions must be met.

Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get? Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

Apple is great!
Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get? Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).
I compose an iMessage with the destination as my email address and I attach 2 photos I want on my PC. I send them several times from my iPhone 5C but they never arrive. I look at my ipad later and realize that it's iMessage app is getting ( and swallowing) these emails. I then turn the ipad off. Still can't get the photos through because iphone is now getting them on it's iMessage. I turn off the iMessage feature and try to send photos from text msging. Phone tells me it can't send photos unless iMessage it turned on. What happened to regular MMS text messaging? I go and try to send photos as an email attachment and see that there is no option to attach from the stupid email program. I look up online to learn about the brave new world of apple attachments and send them.
Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?
The email program on my iphone is not configured to remove messages from the server.
If iMessage is turned off I don't have the issue.
Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

I have an ipad mini 16G wifi - why can't I send SMS txt msg and only imessages? On the settings, there is no option for "send SMS when imessage not available" like on my iphone.

Why can't I send SMS messages from my ipad mini 16g wifi?

Even when your iPad Mini has a 3G cellular modem onboard, the iPad Mini still can NOT send or receive SMS Text messages.
The 3G modem is only used for a internet data connection and has no software to either send or receive SMS text messages even though the hardware is available.
I can confirm this with the iPad Mini iOS6.1 with 3G cellular modem.
Apple Support has this issue currenlty under investigation - you can follow this issue here:
Ipad Mini with 3G prepaid internet.

Why can't I send and receive text messages on my new 5c ?

Why can't I send and receive text messages on my new 5c ?
I can send imessages. I can sometimes send texts. But I cannot ever send picture texts. and I am not receiving texts.

Antny,
Yikes, this is no bueno let's get these messages back up and flowing. Are you able to send out regular text messages ok? Ensure your Picture Messages feature is turned on, follow these steps: Settings>Messages>MMS Messaging. Also ensure Send as SMS is turned on as well. If these features are turned on then try this: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings then retest. Keep us posted please.
