Why is imessage only working on wifi?

Hi,
I'm having some trouble with iMessage on my iPhone 4. For some reason since last week it will only send/receive messages when on a wifi connection but not on 3g/Edge. None of my data settings have changed. Coincidentally I've found that viber is having the same issue, it will only sned/receive message on wifi but not on 3G/Edge.
All the other browsing apps/safari work fine on 3g/edge. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm based in Ireland on the O2 network
Thanks in advance.

Yes same here.
The apps "Find My iPhone" and "Find My Friends" are doing the same thing, work fine in wifi but not on 3g/Edge. I'm in Australia on Telstra.
It's my wifes 4s that worked fine when I was using it, my 5 works fine.
It's software based because changing phone and restoring have the problem folling that user!

My imessage has not been working. the internet and imessage only work on wifi. how do i fix this

MY IMESSAGE HAS NOT BEEN WORKING. IT ONLY WORKS WHEN I AM CONNECTED TO WIFI. THE INTERNET DOESNT WORK EITHER. I TRIED EVERYTHING AND NO ONE ON THE VERIZON PHONE NUMBER WILL ANSWER.

First make sure cellular data is toggled on.
Secondly make sure airplane mode is set to off.
Thirdly, make sure to toggle to "on" the send text/SMS/MMS if you cannot use imessage.
I don't know what model iPhone you have, if a 5,5c, or 5s make sure the Sim card is functioning properly. (Remove with device turned off, the carefully place back in device) then turn on the iPhone.
Hopefully problem solved.

May have other solutions.
Good Luck

Why does iMessage only work for some of my contacts?

Having problems with iMessage. It will work for some of my contacts but not others. And those people arre having the same problem, works with other people but not me.. Anyone dealt with this?

1. Both devices have to be running iOS 5.*
2. Internet latency can delay iMessage connection. If you enabled "Send as SMS", the phone will switch to SMS if iMessage doesn't connect quickly. If you disable Send as SMS, more of your messages will go through as iMessage.

My iMessage only works with one contact in my phone. I text several people that have the iphone 4s, theirs works with other people. But mine only works with one person. Why?

Most of the current Apple Intel based computers are comparable in CPU speed. I don't think it is so much the model of laptop as it is the memory, and storage capacity of the machine. If you are going to use FCP on a regular basis, perhaps as a professional or semi-professional, then you should think about the maximum memory and a very large capacity internal disk drive. For instance, one hour of finished compressed video will take up about 1.5 to 2Gbytes of disk space. If you add up the raw footage and still imagery and audio, you'll use up your disk drive capacity real quick. So a hard disk on the order of 750Gbytes @ 7200rpms might be good for video editing. 5400RPMs might be slow to rendering times. Rendering a video might take up a lot of memory so more memory is better e.g. 8Gbytes.
As a rule of thumb, once you get to about 80% of your disk drive or memory you'll see degradation of performance.
You can check out macsales.com. THey have a menu system that will allow you to pick and choose from various alternatives. BTW, it's been said that although Macs are typically spec'd at a certain memory size, macsales.com found that Apple computers will actually support higher memory levels. That is, if 4Gbytes are spec'd, some machines support 6Gbytes. macsales.com will provide the guidance for you.
You might also consider buying an external disk e.g. 500Gbytes to carry around with you for back-up or transport to another machine.

HT201359 I purchased a audio book to listen to on my commute to work. It only works over wifi, that does me no good in the car and the book is hours long for audio. That will eat up my data. How can I get a refund?

How are you trying to listen to it ? You shouldn't need to be online to listen to it, I don't for any of mine. If you've downloaded it directly on your iPad (or synced it from your computer) then it should be in the Music app (you will get an Audiobooks option under the More button in the Music app when you have audiobooks on it) - is that where you are trying to listen to it ?

Library sharing only works on wifi

Hi,
Please help. I am running an iMac with OS 10.6.8 and a Samsung netbook NC10 running Windows XP. Both machines are in the same LAN, with a router of Sitecom to connect them and create internet availabilty.
When I run the Airport Express on the iMac the netbook itunes can see the itunes library of the iMac. When I just have the ethernet running, the library is not visible. What is blocking the sharing opportunity of the library of the iMac?
I would like to have only one library I actively use and update and play music on the netbook in the living room, connected to the amplifier.
Thanks!

Have you enabled your phone to use Cellular Data for iTunes Match? If not it will only work on WiFi.
The other possibility that I read is that there is a weird glitch in Apple's Terms and Service which changed recently. Apparently until you accept the new T&C the iTunes Match will skip on cellular. Annoyingly it seams the only way to get the new T&Cs to show for you to accept them is to go buy a new song.

Does iMessage only work with the newest iPod Touch generation?

Does iMessage only work with the newest iPod Touch generation or does it work with older ones as well?

Any iPod Touch device that can be upgraded to iOS 5 will have iMessage. This means if you have a 3rd or 4th generation iPod Touch it will support iMessage.

Hi, i have an ipnone 4 and im with Optus 3G. Viber is only working for me (send texts and make calls) ONLY when im on wi-fi. If im not connected to a wifi connection it will not send any texts or make a call. If i try send a text it turns into a red dot with an exclamation mark near my comment and then it comes up with a message saying "An internet connection is required to set up Viber. Check your connection and try again. The request timed out."
Please can you reply to my email [email protected] with any help.

Help! My iMessage doesn't work on my new iPhone 5s, I've changed my sim twice, but iMessage only works with my Apple ID.

Recently got a new iPhone 5s and the iMessage doesn't work. I tried the sim in another phone and it didn't work either so I put a completely new sim in my iPhone and iMessage doesn't work. It will only work when I use my Apple ID for received messages. I don't know what to do. I have reset everything and it still doesn't work. My software is up to date. Please help!

ACTIVATING FACETIME AND IMESSAGES
Activating Facetime and Imessages on your phone requires the ability to send SMS messages and depending upon where you are that might be an international SMS. Check with your carrier to see if your plan supports sending of international SMS messages. If you are having trouble activating Facetime or Imessages turn them both off on your device and reset the device (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost)). Wait for the device to restart and wait a minute and turn Facetime and imessage back on and wait for activation. If that does not fix things read the following articles:
