Why does my iMessage say (-1)?

Since I upgraded the OS software, I can no longer send or receive messages. After composing a message and sending, the iPhone re-sets (flashes quickly) to the home screen. When I go back into messages, the title bar says -1 Message.
The messages are not sent.
It appears that I can not receive messages either. Telus say it's an Apple problem
ideas??

I'd reference https://discussions.apple.com/message/22715537#22715537 among the five other questions to the riight of this response and see if they help any.

Why does my iMessage say it is trying to activate?

Why does my iPhone 4s not want to accept iMessages on my phone number. It says in settings that my iMessage is trying to activate. I can receive messages via email but not on phone number. Do I still get unlimited text from iPhone to iPhone this way.

what i would try is turning imessage off then on, then if that doesnt work go to setting messages and make sure were it says receive at has your number and apple id. try that if it doesnt work let me know

Why does my iMessage say I'm sending from my email instead of my phone number

When I text to some people with imessage they tell me that they see my apple id instead of my number how can i change so that when i text them they see my number instead of my apple ID?

TS3274 Why does my iPad say " No SIM " in the upper left corner

Why does my iPad say " No SIM " in the upper left corner ?

Hi Edwardtracey,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
It sounds like you have a cellular data plan and there is no service where you currently are.
The article below will explain this feature and how to turn the setting on/off.
The article has more details and screenshots, but I've quoted highlights below for you:
iOS: About the Cellular Data setting
Cellular data is used for data communication in cellular networks. It does not affect your ability to make or receive phone calls or to use Wi-Fi networks for Internet connectivity. If you turn off cellular data, you will be unable to:
See the cellular data icons in the status bar (for example, LTE or 3G).
Send or receive MMS messages. However, you can still send and receive SMS and iMessages if you're connected to a Wi-Fi network.
Retrieve or listen to new Visual Voicemail messages. To retrieve these messages, enable Cellular Data.
Use Personal Hotspot.
You can adjust this setting by going to:
iPad: Settings > Cellular
Additional Information
You can also enable or disable cellular data for certain iOS features from this setting:
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number

Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number? It keeps going to imessage and then back to text message

Both you and the recipient have to have active data connections, and both devices have to have iOS 5 or higher to be able to use iMessage. Also, they both have to have iMessage activated. If that is already the case, there is a possiblility that iMessage is down. It has gone up and down several times in the past week. Check this page for status, and if necessary you can report a problem with a link in the lower right corner. http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/

Why does my printe say "used supply in use" 1217nfw

Why does my printe say "used supply in use" model m1217nfw

Hello,
The "Used Supply in Use" means that the printer believes the toner cartridges installed in the printer have been previously used in another printer.
Have you recently changed the toner cartridge on this printer? Are you having issues printing?
Remember if you find any of my post helpful or want to say thanks make sure to click the white star under my name to give me Kudos.
I really appreciate it!
You should be able to still print without problems even though the message comes up.

Why does my printe say "used supply in use/:

why does my printer say used supply in use? And I can't print anything

Pretty sure its to make sure you don't get good use out of your cartridges... basically this company trying to get 10 cents a print out of you
After 1100 prints, regardless of how much ink used, if you take it out (the genuine 85a) at this point and put it back in, say after a jam or you want to shake it, it tells you have a used cartridge, i have tested continually using this, and got 500 more prints, with an annoying nag that you cant stop from every page printed. you have to take it out because this printer is notorious for a section ink don't get too, even though there probably is over 50% of ink left in it.. you take it out and shake it and can print, hundreds and hundreds of more pages... but after the 1100 point mark, since the printer tracks statistics it goes into this "used mode" so averages of prints won't go up... im pretty sure its devious code... but what do i know.. i just wont be getting new HP printers.. they claim it can cause damage.... the heads are on the toner cartridge... if its damaged the cartridge is replaced and thats that... so their warnigs are smoke and mirrors..

I have iPhoto '08 - why does the version say 7.1.5

I have iPhoto '08 - why does the version say 7.1.5
I have the full paid version of iPhoto '08, but when I check the "About iPhoto" pull down it says - iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5.
Is this because I have it installed on a G4 and so it has to install 7.1.5 instead of 8.02 because of processor limitations?
What features am I missing as a result of having to run '08 on a G4 versus a G5?

iPhoto '08 is version 7.x.x - 7.1.5 being the latest
iPhoto '09 is version 8.x.x - 8.0.2 being the latest
You have the up to date version of iPhoto '08 - only purchasing iLife '09 will get you a newer version

Why does status bar say that all items are not loaded?

When I have the status bar displayed at the bottom of my page, and I load a page, it usually says 4 of 5 item complete, or 6 of 7, or even one time, 92 of 93. What does this mean exactly? And why does it never say all items are completed? Is anything wrong with the browser, or is this just code for something?
Thanks,
Jeff

These days web pages have many little extras, not just images, that have to be downloaded when we click on a link to a page. Sometimes, for a variety of reasons (file availability, internet problems, browser, bad coding, local cache, ISP problem) not everything downloads.
As long as the page seems to have all the information and nothing is apparently missing, I tend to ignore this.
When all items are completed, the status bar shows nothing.

HT5824 why does my ipad say user name disabled, but on all other devices i can pog into itunes and icloud using my user name

why does my ipad say user name disabled but i can use my user name to log into itunes and icloud on other devices

At this time there is no "solution." You'll simply have to wait the 90 days to re-enable iTunes Match.
For now here is my suggestion. In your User Account, in OS X, sign out of whatever iTunes Store account you are signed in with. Then sign in with your store account and leave it at that. Now sign out of your OS X User Account, sign into your wife's OS X User Account and sign into the iTunes Store with her Apple ID (if necessary sign out of the account first).
Now, you can go back to your OS X User Account and attempt to enable iTunes Match. You will probably get the "wait 90 days" message. If so leave it, mark your calendar, and wait for the 90 days to expire. You can try contacting iTunes Store support at <https://expresslane.apple.com> if you wish, but I really do not know how useful that will be.
Incidentally, you get the message to pay for the service when trying to enable it on your wife's Apple ID because the service has not been purchased using that Apple ID. iTunes Match is designed to be a single-user service that is never signed out of and is associated with one, and only one, Apple ID and a regional store.
