Why doesn't imessage work from ios 5 device to ios 6?

I can't seem send iMessages to my brother who has an iPhone 5 running ios 6 from my iPhone 4 running ios 5. It tries, but always reverts to a text message.
I have not tested this with any other people as I don't know anyone else with the new iPhone. For all I know this is a device to device issue but I'd like to know if anyone else has had this problem.
I will not change from ios 5 to ios 6 as the pros don't outweigh the cons for my needs.

Sounds like a reason to just buy an Adroid phone.
I can bluetooth content to my MacBook Pro using an Android, no problems.

  • Why doesn't itunes work on iphone 3gs after IOS 5 update?

    After upgrading Iphone 3GS to IOS 5 it does not connect to the Itunes store for updates. I am able to download apps from Icloud but when I try to update apps it gives me an error that it cannot connect to the itunes store.  I tried shutting down and restoring the phone. I went to settings went into the "store" logged in an out and still no luck. Does anyone have a fix for this? Please help.

    Yes I have both, but I know a lot of times that wi-fi doesn't work with email. And it's all of my yahoo! accounts too. My gmail and iCloud works fine.

  • Why doesn't imessage work?

    i cannot use imess in my phone!!!!!!

    There is so little information, that I doubt anyone would be able to help you sort out the issue. As a basic troubleshooter, restart your iPhone and see whether it works back again.

  • I can't get Apple TV mirroring to work from any of my iOS devices (Ipad2, iPhone 5 and iPad air).

    I can't get mirroring to work from any of my iOS devices (Ipad2, iPhone 5 and iPad air). I click on airplay, and select mirroring, but nothing appears on the tv screen and the connection with the Apple TV drops off after 5 seconds. Any ideas why

    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
        1.    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
        2.    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
        3.    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
        4.    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
        5.    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
        6.    Restart your mobile device.

  • Why doesn't siri work away from home

    why doesn't siri work way from home

    It does for me. But it requires an Internet connection, so if you don't have mobile data turned on or your account isn't provisioned for it or you are out of range of a cell tower Siri can't talk to the servers.

  • Why won't iMessage send from my iPad to a contact who has an iPhone and uses iMessage on her iPhone?

    Sometimes when I'm using my iPad and I want to send a message via iMessage it won't let me. This happens even when I know that the recipient has an iPhone and uses the iMessage app on her iPhone. Why is that? I can use iMessage from my iPhone and it will go to her iPhone. Why can't it work from my iPad.?

  • Why doesn't flash work during panorama pictures

         why doesn't flash work during panorama pictures

    HI..
    Try troubleshooting the Flash plugin ..
    Quit Safari.
    Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab. Click: Delete All
    Now uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Very important to uninstall the currently installed Flash plugin before reinstalling.
    Launch Safari From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    Now try a video.
    BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
    And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to:  Open in 32 bit mode  is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.

  • Why doesn't acrobat reader have reflow view in iOS as it has in android.

    Why doesn't acrobat reader have reflow view in iOS as it has in android.

    That's a good question. Besides some form enhancements, it is the #1 feature I'd like to see added. It was actually removed from the Android version a while back but was then restored. Someone on the mobile Reader team has mentioned that they will consider adding it to Reader for iOS if there is enough demand, so consider submitting a feature request. I think I'll take my own advice...

  • I recently bought a lightning to 30 pin adapter for my new iPad so that I could continue to use my 30 pin to VGA cord, but when I plug the VGA cord into it it says it is not supported. They are all apple products, so why doesn't it work?

    I recently bought a lightning to 30 pin adapter for my new iPad so that I could continue to use my 30 pin to VGA cord, but when I plug the VGA cord into it it says it is not supported. They are all apple products, so why doesn't it work?

    If it is a lightning to 30 pin adaptor, and you have a 7th Generation Nano it has to fit the Nano.
    This is lightning to 30 pin adapter: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B---Lightning-to-30-Pin-Adapter/6651 936.p?id=1218803450821&skuId=6651936#tab=overview
    Is this what you bought?
    You need to contact Sony and see if they model you have is compatible with the docking adapter. It may not be.

  • Why doesn't email sent from iPhoto v9.4.3 show in my "Sent" mail?

    1. Why doesn't email sent from iPhoto v9.4.3 show in my "Sent" mail?
    2. Why does it always ask for a password before sending, when I'm already logged in?

    If you are using the iPhoto email client there is no sent mail box
    My suggestion is to set Mail as your email client and then you have everythin in Mail and have a sent mail box

  • Why doesn't iMessage show when the message is read, all the time?

    Why doesn't iMessage show when the message is read, all the time?

    It depends on the recipients settings, whether they have read receipts set to on or off.  If they have it off, you will not be notified of the actual time they read your message.

  • Iphone 3g - why doesn't it work?

    I purchased a new pair of Nike running shoes excited to link up the sensor and get started using with my iphone 3G. However, I find out the Nike Plus only works with an iphone 3GS. I'm now going to have to return the Nike Sensor for a refund instead of having to upgrade to another Iphone model. Is there anyway around this? Why doesn't it work with the Iphone 3G? What makes the operating system in the 3GS different so it works?

    As evidence too there is a hack which gets it working as well:
