Why does iMessage keep messing up for iOS 6?

Okay. So recently, I updated my 4th generation iPod touch to iOS 6. Everything was working fine for the first day or so but then iMessage wouldn't send or receive messages. On my 3rd generation with iOS 5, it is still working fine and I am signed into the same account. The messages will send really slowly and then stop right at the end and after about five minutes, it will say there was an error sending. I've read about this happening many times and I don't know of a way to fix it. I've tried signing out and back in, rebooting my iPod, closing the app, turning off WiFi and I've done all of these in different combinations but none help at all. Then after a few hours, boom! It works again! It seems that whenever my WiFi connection is lost, it can happen. It doesn't happen every time, but I've only noticed it when I leave WiFi and return later.
Does anyone know of any way to fix this or does anyone know when an update will come out to fix this? Because its starting to get on my nerves. I've had to get a texting app because of how often iMessage goes down. iOS 6 is amazing, but they need to fix the iMessage problem on it. Then it would be perfect.
Thanks!

I'm sorry to say I don't have a solution. But I've been having the exact same problem. I have an iPod touch 4th generation. I use wifi, and right after the iOs update, everything else was fine but iMessage stopped working. The exact same problems with what the app does. Nothing helps, bam it's back, bam it's gone! Apple, are you listening? You need to fix this NOW for those of us who use this app regularly and can't anymore because of the otherwise great iOS 6. Please fix this glitch pronto or you'll probably have LOTS of disappointed customers.

  • Why does it keep asking me for the login keychain password?

    I am having a problem where my imac keeps asking me for a "login keychain" password. I type in my password every time, but that doesn't fix my problem. I need to know if this is bad or not, and how i can turn it off.
    Thanks!

    Hey there Daniel,
    It sounds like you are being prompted over and over for your Login Keychain, and entering it does not seem to make the prompts stop. I would start by running First Aid on the Keychain with this article:
    Mac OS X 10.6: Solving problems with keychains
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ph7296
    To check keychains for problems using Keychain First Aid:
    Open Keychain Access, located in the Utilites folder in the Applications folder.
    Choose Keychain Access > Keychain First Aid.
    Enter your user name and password.
    Select Verify and click Start. Any problems found will be displayed.
    If there are problems, select Repair, and then click Start.
    If that does not resolve the issue, I would next reset your Keychain:
    In Keychain Access, choose Preferences from the Keychain Access menu.
    If available, click the Reset My Default Keychain button. This will remove the login keychain and create a new one with the password provided.
    If Reset My Default Keychain is not available, choose Keychain List from the Edit menu.
    Delete the "login" keychain.
    The next time you log in to the account, you can save your current password in a keychain.
    From: OS X: Keychain Access asks for keychain "login" after changing login           password

  • Why Does iTunes Keep Prompting Me For a Password For Automatic Downloading?

    And how do I make it stop doing that?  Everytime I open iTunes, it asks for this password, and I don't know why.  My iMac at home doesn't ask for it, and it has the most current OS update and iTunes version, as does the Macbook this is happening on.  It's quite annoying.

    I am unsure as to what you are referring to with respects to my accounts, but ill try and clarify.
    I vaguely remember having to sign up for an apple ID several months ago. since that time, my mail program has been asking me for the password for the server (as i listed it) and i have never been able to enter a password that it accepts. Ill be the first to admit that computers are not my strong point, and especially not Apples, as i used PC's my whole life, but i do write down passwords that i use for accounts.
    so anyways, i never used the mail account, or the apple forums up until a few days ago when i tried to set up another mail server (the one i use) so that i could access it from mail.
    it wouldnt accept the password that i though it should be, so i followed the prompts and instructions to re set my password. again, it didnt change anything.
    finally i created this apple id to access this message board. i hope this clarifies my situation...
    anyways, as per your advice:
    so i went in to keychain, but all i see is the mail server account that i want to be using, and i dont see the mac server account on the list.

  • Why does it keep asking me for a password?

    im trying to use mail for my email services.
    when i first registerd, i had an apple id, and email address at mac and all that stuff.
    recently, i tried to use a different email address, and ive had nothing but grief.
    1. i dont use mac mail, or me mail, or whatever crap it is now, i never have and i never will. i tried to delete my mailbox for my mac account, as well as deleting the account itself from my preferences > accounts menu, but whenever i click the "get mail" button it keeps asking me to enter the password for:
    “wappit” on SMTP server “smtp.mac.com”
    now, for reasons my feeble mind is yet to comprehend, i am totally unable to enter any password for this that it will accept. ive tried to re set my password several times, and each time it has no effect.
    now i dont want to use this mail server, at all, for anything.
    how do i adjust my mail program so it stops asking me for a password that i dont have, for an account which i cant access, to use a mailbox that i dont want?

  • Why does Adobe keep releasing updates for Acrobat that make the PDF print option diasappear?

    I am really disappointed that after installing an update to  Acrobat 9 my PDF printer has disappeared from my printer list.
    This is the second time this has happened. The last time this happened Adobe were still supporting Acrobat 9 and they ended up having to remote in to my machine to fix it.
    Now I have to pay if i want that level of support!!! It begs the question why they release these destructive updates. Is it to force people to upgrade to X or purchase support. 
    Can anybody give me some instructions on how to manually install the PDF printer?
    I am running windows 7

    Launch the Devices and printers setup utility through the Control Panel.
    2Select the \"Add a Printer\" option.
    3Click the \"Next\" button and select the \"Local Printer Attached to This Computer\" option.
    4Deselect (uncheck the box) the  \"Automatically Detect and Install My Plug and Play Printer\" option and  click the \"Next\" button.
    5Select \"My Documents\\*.pdf (Adobe PDF)\" in the port selection drop-down menu and click the \"Next\" button.
    6Select the \"Have Disk\" option and click the \"Browse\" button to open a dialog box.
    7Select the \"AdobePDF.inf\" file  located in the AdobePDF folder in your Program Files directory under  \"Adobe,\" \"Acrobat 9.0,\" \"Acrobat,\" \"Xtras.\"
    8Select the first item (top item) on the list of Adobe PDF Converter options and click the \"Next\" button.
    9Type \"Adobe PDF\" in the field for a printer name and click \"Next.\"

  • I own several iOS devices, and for some reason, everyone get's my text messages on their phone. We turn iMessage on, and select send and receive only at our own respective devices. Why does iMessage automatically turn on?

    I own several iOS devices, and for some reason, everyone get's my text messages on their phone. We turn iMessage on, and select send and receive only at our own respective devices. Why does iMessage automatically turn on?

    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on each device and make sure only the phone number for that device is checked.

  • Why does my phones iMessage keep saying "waiting for activation"

    Why does my iPhone's iMessage keep saying "waiting for activation" when I turn on my iMessage

    It's waiting for you to reply to a confirmation email that was sent when you added that email address to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.
    The email is sent immediately. If you have reason to believe it was not sent, tap the blue circled i then either resend the validation email, or remove it.

  • Why does ipad keep asking for icloud every second?

    why does ipad keep asking for icloud every second?

    Hey there mcsafranek,
    It sounds like you are getting prompted for your iCloud password very frequently. I would sign out of your iCloud account in Settings first:
    On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
    From: iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
              http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
    Then close all the running apps on the device:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    When you have done that and restart the phone, sign back into iCloud, and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists could you relay what exactly the message says when it pops up?
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,

  • Why does it keep saying that an error occurred when downloading iOS 8?

    Why does it keep saying that an error occurred when downloading iOS 8?

    Have you tried updating via iTunes? I find that way's more reliable - I've never had any problems with updating that way.

  • Why does iMessages does not work properly ? Please help me ! Its works better with the previous version if compared with the latest iOS

    Why does iMessages does not work properly ? Please help me ! Its works better with the previous version if compared with the latest iOS

    Many, many thanks for both of you Todd and Rick.
    to Rick:
    I suppose you mean the Color Settings in Project Settings as follows:
    - Working Space: None
    - Match Legacy ... Gamma Adjustments checked ON
    But it does not correct the colors in effects. And checking or unchecking Make Movie/Output Module Settings/Color Management/Profile/Preserve RGB does not make any difference.
    to both of you:
    Those parts of the video image that does not have color effects are just fine. In these parts the color is preserved when reimporting to FCP. However, those parts having color effects (except Levels, as decribed earlier) have altered color results. So, only the parts having effects affecting color are misinterpreted in the image area. The mismatch is of course seen in AE, before making the movie.
    What I ment with "Color Management not working properly" is that (instead of "disabling" it) Color Management does not seem to be able to correct this "misinterpretation" or difference in effect handling between AE 6 and 10.
    So, would you have any solution for this problem?
    Again, many thanks for your fast replies!
