    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404 AirPlay Mirroring needs OS X Mountain Lion, and you are using OS X Lion. You have two options:
    1. Make a backup of your files, open the App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. When the download finishes, the installer will appear, so follow the steps to upgrade. Finally, you will see the AirPlay icon in the menu bar.
    2. Use an app like AirParrot > http://www.airparrot.com

    Hello Jesslb23,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
    To resolve issues with sending and receiving iMessages, follow these steps first
    Check iMessage system status for current service issues.
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that you have registered iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID and that you have selected iMessage for use. Learn more about troubleshooting iMessage registration if the phone number or Apple ID isn't available for use.
    Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify data connectivity. Learn more about troubleshootingcellular data or a Wi-Fi connection if a data connection isn't available.
    iMessage over cellular data might not be available while on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on to use iMessage while on a call if your network doesn't support simultaneous data and voice calls.
    Restart your device.
    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
    If you are still unable to send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
    Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
    Verify that the contact you are attempting to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact in the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
    Back up and restore your device as new.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

Anyone know a "fix" for this??

  • 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!

  • TS4268 Why isn't my iMessage working?!

    Why isn't my iMessage working?!?

    go on settings and scroll down to "MESSAGES" make sure iMessages is ON, now scroll down just a bit and look for an option reading "send & Receive" click on it and make sure it is either your apple ID or your phone number, wait 1-3 hours or over night and it should work, sometimes it takes a while to activate, ive come across this issue many times, hope it worked!

  • Why aren't iMessages working?

    I know the apple services or whatever were down a few days ago but they said all issues were resolved. Correct? Is there an update or something I need to do to get my iMessages working again?

    Were down, again, earlier today. System status reports everything is fine now.
    http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/
    Try turning iMessage off...wait a minute or so, then turn it back on.
