Why does iMessage not work on my iPhone yet it works on my iPad?

For some reason I can't send iMessages on my iPhone yet I can send them fine on my iPad. Both have been set up using the same iCloud and iTunes accounts so I don't understand why this is happening. I have checked that iMessage has been activated on my iPhone and it is running iOS 7.0.2. There are no error messages, it just shows 'sending' but doesn't actually send it. But if I send the message on my iPad it sends straight away and updates on my iPhone. Anyone got any ideas?

Many are experiencing this issue right now. A phone reset or going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings resolves the issue.

Why does iMessage not recognize all other iPhones?

I have an iPhone 4S and when I try to send an iMessage to a another person with an iPhone [not sure which model but it is a little older] it will not let me. It says "XYZ is not available for iMessage." I know for a fact that I have the phone number correct and even have the Apple ID the other user has registed with apple entered and still no dice. Any help would be appreciated.

Yep, and if the answer is no to any of those questions, it won't work.

Why does iMessage not work on my iPhone but it works on my iPad?

I am using an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1.1 and an iPad 1 with the same iOS version. I am traveling abroad so I am running in Airplane mode on WiFi on both. I have been using iMessage to keep in touch back home until two weeks ago it became almost useless on my iPhone. iMessage continues to work perfectly on my iPad. The settings are nearly identical minus my cellphone number not included in my iPad. I find that I have to close out of messages, double tap home, press and hold the messages app, and then close it for it to work intermittently. I have exhausted all of my ideas and can not find anyone with the same problem. I have restarted my iPhone several times. I have reset my iPhones settings. I have reset my iPhone entirely. None of these seemed to work. Any ideas?

Why does Imessage not work?

Imessage has not worked for about 24h , it says "wrong password" but I'm 100% that it is the right one. No problems with App store or any other thing. Someone with the same Problem? Any one who know how to get it work again?

I believe apple is having some troubles with their new update because ever since I updated to 6.0.1 on my iPhone 5 I have not been able to use iMessage or download off of wifi

Why does iMessage not work with people who I have previously iMessaged?

For the past couple of days, I have been having issues with iMessage switching back and from from regular texting. I went to Settings>Messages and turned off the "send as an SMS" option. Which kind of solved the problem, but sometimes it's taking forever for it to say "delivered" underneath when it has sent.
But the MAIN problem I am having is that with 2 of my contacts--who both have iOS5 and with both I have previously iMessaged--it doesn't say "iMessage" in the text box with a blue send button. It says "text message" with a green send button.
Is there any way to fix this?
Thank you for your help!

You can only send a imessage if you are connected to the internet if there is low signal it will send the message normally
It takes a while to say delivered because to recieve imessage the other person has to be connected to the internet so if they have a low connection it wont say delivered till they have a good connection

Why is iMessage not in sync with iPhone 4?

I was using the iMessage beta on OSX 10.7 for my iMAC (21.5-inch: 2.5GHz) with no issues and then upgraded to Mountain Lion. My iMessages on my MAC is no longer in sync with the Messages in my iPhone 4 (iOS 5.1.1), (all messages are sent from my iPhone). Messages is always up to date on my iPhone but the only messages that show on my iMAC are the ones before the Mountain Lion upgrade. Any ideas?

Hi,
That is correct.
Those iMessages sent from the Apple ID using Messages on an iOS device or a Mac should sync across all those devices.
For instance I send a set of Pics from my Mac to my Apple ID so it goes to my iPhone will also show those Sync'ed back as "received" by the same Apple ID
Uploaded with Skitch!
It did seem in the Messages beta that you had to clear all existing Messages off the iOS device before it would sync to the Apple ID.
(As if the Messages app on the iPhone and the Messages app on the Mac were "Starting" from the "same place").
There have been suggestions that getting the iPhone to make a break with the server such as switching the iPhone Off then On again will allow it to Sync all exiting Messages when it reconnects.
The iPhone does need to be set to the Apple ID for the iMessages it sends to sync tgo the Mac or any other iOS device.

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!

I just bought more icloud storage, why does it not let me backup my iPhone 5..says i need 1.4 GB of space

i just bought more icloud storage, why does it not let me backup my iPhone 5..says i need 1.4 GB of space?..I just bought 10 more in icloud.

I think you are confused. Syncing apps and music to your phone will not get store in the cloud by adding more cloud storage. If you don't have enough space to sync the music and apps, buying cloud storage won't help. If you have a 16GB phone, the phone still only has 16GB for apps and music even if you buy 10 mor GB of cloud storage.

Hi,
CTRL+P requires manual tab focus when printing a PDF within FF4. This worked fine in FF3 - i.e, you could just select the tab. Why does it not work any more? Thanks!

Why does Firefox not work here in China anymore, since January of 2015?

I have used Firefox for years, as the fastest and most reliable browser for me, esp in China... not anymore! Last month (unknown to me) a hijacker called Vosteran took over my Firefox browser. I finally realized it and got it cleaned up using Malwarebytes anti-malware, and downloaded a new Firefox... now SAME problem exists, even with Vosteran removed!
Firefox will not allow me into ANY normal sites, saying they don't have the proper security code. This includes my Yahoo front page, email account, ESPN and other common sites that are certainly NOT dangerous. So, WHY does Firefox not work anymore? It is useless to me here in China the way it works now.

hello rickinchina, first please make sure that the '''date, time & timezone''' are set correctly on your system and that firefox is set to directly connect to the internet (that's the "'''no proxy'''" setting in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > network > connection - settings...'').
if this doesn't solve the issue (or it is already set properly), a possible solution depends on different factors:
* what is the '''error code''' shown under ''technical details'' on the error page?
in case the error code equals ''sec_error_unknown_issuer'', please attempt to add an exception on the bottom of the error page (but don't do it for real) and inspect the certificate (see the screenshot attached for instructions):
* which '''issuer information''' does the certificate contain?
please report back with those two pieces of information. thank you!
