  • My iPhone shows black text instead of blue btwn iPhone users, Why?

    My iPhone is shows black text instead of blue to different iphone users, what does this mean?? Thank you.

    No matter what you send a normal text or iMessage the color of the "text" will remain black,but if you send a iMessage,the color of the message bubble will be blue and if you send a normal text message the color of the message bubble will be green.

  • All of a sudden I can't send or receive messages on iPad. Iphone is working fine. It gives me "message failed to send" and is green instead of blue. The only thing I have done differently is turn iCloud on in my iPhone.

    cant receive or send messages on my iPad. Keep getting "message failed to send" and it is green instead of blue. This happened after I turned on iCloud on my iPhone. Would that have anything to do with this problem? It's like its not sincing to my phone but I can send & receive emails ok.

    iOS 7.1.2, huh? It MAY be having some trouble with the iOS 8.x devices and latest iCloud features. Although it meets the minimum system requirements, it does not meet the recommended ones - System requirements for iCloud - Apple Support
    You should try Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support - this is generally the first step in troubleshooting, all devices - for all time
    Message Colors
    Blue is iMessage (Apple service)
    Green is SMS (Carrier service)
    What happens when you use your iPad similarly? (what iPad model & iOS version)
    As a last resort*, Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support - *this document tells that all your data will be lost but provides steps to back-up (Before section) then restore your data (Restore section #4)

  • Since I downloaded the new update on my iphone 4s I no longer see the delivered message under my text when sent.  Also the message is green instead of blue.  Does anybody know how to fix this?

    You are sending SMS messages. iMessages are blue. Go to Settings>>Messages>>iMessage ON.

  • TS2755 why is Messages now showing phone numbers instead of contact names.  any ideas?

    why is Messages now showing phone numbers instead of contact names.  any ideas?

    Check to see if you have contacts in your Contacts app. This is something that can happen sometimes, and is usually cured by resetting the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. No data will be lost.

  • HT201656 In itunes my iphone shows up as having nearly 8G of "Other"...what is taking up all this space?

    In itunes my iphone shows up as having nearly 8GB of "Other"...what is taking up all this space?
    On the iphone itself under settings, general, usage it indicates 12.7GB used and only 840MB available.  I have one app (Audible) that is taking up 1.6GB, photos&camera take up 636MB, Spotify takes up 495MB, everything else takes up less less than 100MB each and totalling less than 2.5GB.
    So if Audible is taking up 1.6GB and Spotify is taking up 636MB and all other apps take up 2.5GB this combined totals around 5GB.  I have a 16GB iphone 4s. 
    16GB minus 5GB (my calculated usage) equals 11GB remaining.  Allow for some required space utilization (let's say 3GB) and that leaves 8GB remaining.  Why does my phone indicate 840MB available?  That seems to equate to the amount shown in itunes that indicates 8GB of "other".
    What is this 8GB of "other" that is taking up so much storage space on my iphone?
    Thanks in advance.

    Other is usually around 1 GB...
    A  ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
    First Try a Restore from Backup...
    But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup...
    Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

  • Unable to get imessage working, comes up green instead of blue

    I'm uable to get imessage working, text comes up green instead of blue. I have my setting, message, imessage turned on. What am I doing wrong?

    Mine didn't work for 2 months and this fixed it, so I posted it in another discussion and have been getting "thank you" replies nearly daily:
    Just update your date/time settings:
    Settings
    > General
    >> Date & Time
    >>> Set Automatically:  Slide "ON"...If it's already on, then slide it off, chill for a bit (maybe restart it), then slide it back on.
    I am using an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1, but other users with 3GS, 4S, and even iTouch devices replied that it worked.

  • Messages green instead of blue.

    Since installing Yosemite my messages are green instead of blue. Same recipient on an iPhone, same message thread, but now they are green, they used to be blue.
    Not a big deal, just curious what happened.

    Hello hot_spur,
    Green bubbles indicate SMS messages.

  • Put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

    put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

    i just purchased a file that had videos in it. i put them in the itunes library on my pc where i first downloaded them. i was able to transfer them to my other pc, a laptop, through my home network. i am now trying to get them on my mac pro desktop and my ipad2. my mac pro can see the other computers on my home network but i cannot get it to connect to them. i know the operating systems are different but was hoping i could transfer pictures and files from pc to mac this way. haven't been able to get it to work yet. the videos i am trying to get my mac to see came in a folder with both mac and pc versions. i thought if i got the videos i purchased into itunes that i would then be able to get them to my mac pro and my ipad2. i am new to mac/apple and have always been pc-centric so trying to marry it all has been difficult. i speak pc pretty well but am just learning apple. am i trying to do things that are not possible? i sure could use a knowledgable friendly soul to walk me through my issues of having pc and mac on the same network. i have been able to get all computers and ipad to print on my network. thanks.

  • Group messages come out green instead of blue why? Even though everyone has an iPhone in the group

    group messages come out green instead of blue

    I've been wondering about this on behalf of my mum. I found a solution here but it involves deleting the group thread and starting a new with the same participants. Seems pretty useless that iOS 8 would force us to delete messages.
    Any other solutions to this?

  • How to stop my iphone 4s from forwarding my text messages to other iphone on my service plan

    support with my iphone 4s.after the recent update to iOS6, my phone sends my messages to other iphone 4s on my phone service plan and send others 'notes' contents to my phone.what do i need to do to stop this?

    There is no "un-sync".
    It may have meant to simply uncheck sync movies and sync, thus removing any movies from the iphone.

  • Why does my iMessage show my email instead of my number?

    I went on Message>Send & Receive>Signed Into my Apple ID & all that shows was my number & email. My phone number was in gray font & couldn't be clicked. The only  option they let me use was my email. Why can't I use my number????? People I text can only see my email, instead of my number. HELP!!!!

    Try going to Settings>Messages>Receive At>Caller ID, if your email address is select here select your phone number instead.

  • Messages showing green instead of blue

    Messages from some contacts are no longer showing as blue messages.  Option to store number does not include iPhone - only mobile available

    It is very possible they are not all together there, and at some time, someone is away from an active data connection. If that is the case, the iMessage will not go through. Both the sender and the receiver have to have an active data connection for iMessage to succeed. If any inturruption in that connection, then the iMessage could fail. If you have Send As SMS turned on, then if the iMessage fails, it could go as an SMS. If that is International, then you could be charged for that, depending on your carrier and SMS plan.
