  • Message send failure when sending text message to none iPhones. Worked fine at apple store now not working for me again ( whether on wifi or cellular) what is wrong?

    Why am I getting message send failure from my iPad to a non-iPhone

    When I was in the Apple store on Friday with my iPad I asked the text the same question. we turned on my iPad and it allowed me to text text message anybody I wanted regardless of what the device. When I left apple store while I'm in the parking lot and I checked it again before I left the area and it still allowed me to text message anybody. Now it is not. And also I cannot email anybody from my iPad today to a non iPhone and that's wrong because until today I have been doing that for weeks. Hmmmm now what

  • Why do i keep getting "Message Send Failure" every time I send pictures on iMessage? All are sent to other iPhone/iPad users.

    For a few months now, I've been getting "Message Send Failure" every time I send pictures to other Apple devices (iPhones, iPads, Macs), despite the recipient receiving them. So, even though the pictures are going through, the "Message Send Failure" notice keeps showing up. I checked with other people who have Apple devices and they also encountered the same issue whenever they send pictures (usually send an email to make sure it was received).  I thought when iOS 7.1.1 came out that it would fix this issue. Has anyone else encountered the same issue? Thanks!

    I started getting the error on my iPhone 5 (iOS 7.1.x) several weeks ago - if not a month ago. Today I finally decided to run through a wholesale sign-out/sign-in process on all my devices (iMac, MacBook, iPad 1, iPad 3 and iPhone5) and it worked!
    I signed out of iMessage/Messages on all devices. I also deleted my iCloud accounts on all my devices (make sure you tell the software to keep local copies when you are prompted - relax, it all stays in the cloud, too) Then I signed back in to iMessage/Messages and then re-added iCloud accounts all around. I just sent a message with a photo attachment and did not get the "Not Delivered" message - yay!
    (FYI - even though I received the error every time I sent a message with an image attachment, the message still went through - very, very happy, though to finally get rid of the message...)

  • My 3GS is responding MESSAGE SEND FAILURE when I attach n send photos. Why? And how do I fix it?

    Just started getting a MESSAGE SEND FAILURE response when I attach n send a photo with my texts. Why? How do I fix it?

    Did you try what was suggested on that page i.e. disconnecting the iPad from your computer and turning the iPad off (press and hold the sleep/wake button until the red 'slide to power off' appears on screen and slide that) and then back on ?
    And if the backup doesn't work after that then try a soft-reset instead of the off and on : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • In the past month or so my iPhone 5 battery is dying in hours, whereas it used to last all day at least.  Also, I am getting constant "message send failures" when texting and frequent dropped phone calls.

    Just recently my Iphone 5 battery is dying in a just a few hours, it used to last all day or more.  I'm not doing anything different with it, although I have started shutting down apps etc. to conserve battery.  I get constant "message send failures and frequently dropped phone calls. 

    My best bet would be to restore the phone. Back it up to itunes, and then reset it Factory settings. This way, any corrupt software will be removed, and you can start fresh. Make sure you back it up first. By the sounds of it, you are using the phone for business and probably need the data from it. Hope this helps!

  • Why am I getting "Plug-In Failure" when I try to upload content?

    Hey friends...
    As my title says I'm getting "Plug-In Failure" when I try to upload to sites I need to use for work.
    This happened after I used Clean My Mac to free up some space. Evidently I removed an important Flash Player component. Since then I have removed and replaced Flash Player twice.
    I'm still getting the "Plug-In Failure" on sites like Amazon.com, Ribbet.com, and Gotprint.com. It seems to only happen when I try to upload my content.
    I'm running Lion/10.7.5.
    Any suggestions for me?
    Thanks!

    Have you reset your phone? Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go. (No data loss)
    (Most folks here won't know why this is happening)

  • Why do I get an error 10612 when trying to readback from a line on an output port of a PCi-6527?

    I am configuring the port (Port 3) as all outputs (even though it is not software configurable, I wanted to get a Task ID for it the first time that I use it). I can set the bit OK using a Port Write, but then when I follow that with a Port Read, I get the 10612 error. The manual says you can readback from the port, and the data that I'm getting seems correct, yet I still get that error. Is this normal, or is there a better way to implement this. I'm just getting started on my first project, and these simple things are frustrating.
    Thanks.

    The 10612 error code that you are receiving is not actually an error but a warning. The NI-DAQ Function Reference Manual for DIG_In_Prt states that if you call this function on an output port that has readback capability, +10612 will be returned along with the state of the output port. Apparently, this information was not included in the LabVIEW On-line Help. Generally, you can ignore this warning.

  • When typing an iMessage from a Mac or other non iPhone device how do you get a subject field?

    From the iPhone there is now an option to add a subject field to your iMessages.  This can be nice but what about doing it from the MAC or other device.  Also how do you insert a line break (which I'm told is alt/option enter) from an iPhone.  Sorry two questions in one.

    Hi,
    The Messages app on the Mac has no means of indicating a "title" or subject matter.
    It only sends messages be they iMessages to Contacts or IM (instant Messages) to Buddies on various services that you could join.
    Re 1) The AIM service added the ability to use the "/me" lead in/pre-emptive text which adds the little grey center info text to AIM chats as my pics show.
    In other services that do not support "/me" you see a sentence that starts "/me".
    On the iPhone as an  iMessages item it appears like this
    They appear as Sent items due to the Sync process.
    Re 2)  No.
    I am just suggesting using a feature that works in the Messages (and the previous iChat) App using an AIM Account in Messages (as it appears to work at your end all the time in any account) so that you can create something that can be used as a "subject" marker.
    re 3) Yes.
    The original premise was you sent something like "/me waves" which appears like the time stamps as "Your Name waves"  (Your Name on the other depends on what they have in their Address Book or Contacts app as your details (you could appear as just a Buddy ID of some sort.)
    Enlarging part of that earlier pic.
    The so called Subject one.
    Grammatically it could do with a 'has".
    Re 4.
    AOL (who Own AOL Instant Messenger)  gave out AIM names with AOL accounts  and with accounts with other companies that they owned.
    At one time they owned Netscape  Mostly Netscape referred to a Browser that was popular on the Mac at the time.  It had a Messenger part added to what it could do and registration gave you an AIM ID (Screen Name)
    This tended to be the Username part of your your account name which was an email.
    We are talking when there were computers sold by Apple that could boot into OS 9 as easily as they did into OS 10.2.
    iChat 2 that did the first Video chats was in OS X 10.3
    At that point iChat was an AIM only client.  This continued until iChat 3 which added Jabber (and that version required a small amount of work to add a GoogleTalk ID)
    Basically when I bought the G4 Tower listed below I already had an AIM name by preferring to use Netscape over Internet Explorer.
    At various points I have tried ProteusX  (the Original Site seems to have gone now).
    I have also tried AdiumX
    Both these were and are text only multiple service apps.
    I have used Psi  This is a Jabber only app.  It is a bit "windowsy" as it is a cross platform app written in Java (means you have to download and Install Java and keep it updated)
    I got it for doing this http://allforces.com/2005/05/06/ichat-to-msn-through-jabber/
    These instructions need you to be able to "register" for Transport on Jabber servers which then allows you to link to your MSN or other service account to in turn add those Buddies to your Jabber Buddy List.
    I have tended to Stick with using my AIM name as my main form in iChat and Messages because it has the Privacy and Security settings that allow you to Block people, or have Allow Specific people or Allow Buddy List only people as ways of restricting who can see when you are on Line.
    AIM also works with Apple IDs ending with @mac.com and iCloud linked @me.com and @icloud.com  (Lapsed @me.com from MobileMe will not work)
    You have to keep the password to 16 characters or less to work with the AIM servers.
    There is also MeBeam  which has been known as Koowy  (coo-we) for a while and currently seems to promote itself as "CuSeeMe.tv"
    It as a site you will need Flash for.
    It then, when you allow it, has access to your Camera and Microphone and you can video to people in "rooms" (private URL) you create.
    I have tried Skype in it's early days.
    It shares your connection to the internet to make lots of connections to maintain a non centralised service.
    This makes it vunerable to "Man-in-the-Middle" attacks becasue at time you are the man in the middle.
    Each download used to list it's own Specified port to use but if you didn't set it it used port 80 (web Browsing or port 110 (mostly mail) to connect.  Some see this as defeating your firewall or router as it is not made clear in the set up.
    I have Office 2004, and 2008 and whatever the last one for Macs was called. (2011 I see on the box)
    This has MSN Messenger which I have tried but don't like  (Microsoft do some great Apple apps in the Office collection but MSN is not one of the).
    Yahoo has been in some variant of Beta 3 for almost as long as the OS has been OS X  (it is certainly about 8 years).
    It never seems to get to a first GM release.
    This can do "video" but broadcasts this to anyone and the Audio is then to one Buddy.
    Basically iChat was the app I used first and an AIM name I already had.
    Over the years I have created several Apple ID (some during a time when @mac.com name could be registered as "iChat Names"  after the .Mac service had finished).
    AIM have always been there.
    Google has been there some of the way.
    (Other jabber servers can come and go)
    I do have my Yahoo account set up in Messages but it basically was as a test and I rarely use it  (it is only text and does not  do Video in the iChat 6 or Messages apps).
    I am not a great phone user so iMessaging people is limited for me.
    (I know about 2 people who I could iMessage outside of my family).

  • Why am I getting two different conversations when the same person txts me and sends me an I message? I thought they should be in the same conversation?

    Why am I getting two different conversations when the same person txts me and sends me an I message? I thought they should be in the same conversation?

    I'm experiencing something similar. My conversations are kept together but if the screen is opened to a conversation and I receive a text from that person it doesn't show up on the screen. The message alert in the upper corner indicates a new text but I have to back out of the screen and go back in to read it.

  • Why do I get error 150:30 when I try and send a photo to Elements 8?

    Why do I  get error 150:30 when I try and send a photo to Elements 8 from a PC with windows8?

    My wife had this problem for the past few days for a specific phone number. These instructions fixed it -- without having to restore from backup or contact the carrier.
    http://www.timothydeblock.com/blog/2014/5/12/fix-message-sent-using-invalid-numb er-of-digits-msg-2114
    Open Contacts -> select the contact -> select edit -> scroll all the way to the bottom and delete contact (delete multiple entries of the same phone number, my wife had five).
    Open the Messages app -> select Edit -> select the red circle and then select delete. Do this for both the person and the messages you received.
    Open the Settings app -> scroll down and select Messages -> turn off messages, by selecting the switch, and any other options turned on.
    Turn off your phone and then turn it back on.
    Go straight to messages and compose a new message and put in the phone number of the person you're trying to text. Send and that person should receive the text message. Add the person to your contacts and go back into message settings to turn on any other options you want on that you turned off.

  • 5s will send picture texts but i always get a "message send failure" text back

    I have an iphone 5s, and every time I send a picture message to either another iphone or an android the pictures goes through.  But then I get a "message send failure" text back.  And when people send me pictures, they get a text that it didn't go through to me.  But I did receive them.  This has caused several repetitive messages to be sent back and forth.

    It will all iPhone and adroids that I sent messages to.  They all do go through but they all say "message send failure."  And whenever anyone sends me a picture they get notified it didn't get delivered, but I did receive it. 
    Alfredo and I did a test picture message on 7/4/14 that worked fine, but then I tried sending a picture after I logged off the chat and it went back to doing the "message send failure" again.

  • User is getting email delivery failure when processing via SAP as it tries to send an email to a user who have left the company

    Hi Experts,
    I need to remove a name on a group list in Outlook as the user is getting email delivery failure when processing via SAP (He sends the invoice for approval and emails get sent to different users for approval.) One of those users has left the company and so the user gets a email delivery failure error.
    How do I remove this user who is no longer with the company?
    The user is saying: When I approve an invoice in SAP it sends an email notification through outlook. One of those users is no longer with the company so it cannot deliver the notification, and in return send a delivery failure (in outlook). I am approving the invoices from my SAP Workplace inbox.
    How do we know what group the email is going to?
    Please let me know if you have seen this issue before. Greatly appreciate your help.
    Thanks,
    Asad

    Hi,
    Please check whether you are using a custom z program for sending emails of approved invoices to users. If yes then either the user email ids are hardcoded in the program else a ztable is maintained for them.
