Why won't my iPad won't send messages?
My iPad2 won't send message to person I just received from. The send button is blue but not active. When I try to send to send a new message to another person their name is red marked with ! and the send button is gray. It won't accept any new name - alwayas in red with !.
Figured it out. The iPad message box has two lines. The first says "Subject" in gray. If you type something into the "Subject" line, but don't type anything on the next line (which is for the message), the send button remains inactive. Try typing the message on the second line. Send button then becomes active.
Now why couldn't Apple tell us that?

Mail app won't send messages out
I am logged into gmail on my iPhone 4 mail app. I tried to reply to a message yesterday and it wouldn't work. The message sat in my outbox saying "unsent" because I needed to go to my mail account settings and enter a password. Well I went to settings, mail, account, and my password was stored there. I re-typed it anyway to see what would happen. I went back to the mail app, and the message still has not sent. But now I don't have an Outbox folder on the main page either! The only way I know it's still unsent is because when the app refreshes, it says 1 Unsent Message on the bottom of the screen.
So my question is, what is going on, where did my outbox go, why did it tell me to enter a password, and most importantly, why won't my message send?!
I was connected to wifi, if that makes a difference. And does it make a difference if it was a reply versus a new message? I just tried a test email, connected through 3G, and it says it sent.Something stuck in the cache? Try a reset. To reset the iPhone, press and hold the home and sleep/wake buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the slide to power off prompt).

TS5185 My IPAD will not send messages to non APPLE users.
Today, Christmas Day, while trying to send a message my IPAD wanted me to turn on iMessage. There was no option not to do this. After it was turned on I could no longer send messages to non Apple users. After reading online that I could set send SMS on my IPHONE I did. Now I guess it send everything as an SMS message. Now my IPAD will not send messages to non Apple users. I guess Apple wants us to pick our friends only if the use Apple products. This is about as stupid as it gets. They want us to only communicate with Apple users. The only other option is to turn the feature off. Why have iMessage in the first place.
So my situation is I can send SMS Messages on my IPHONE. I cannot send any messages to non Apple users on my IPAD and iMessages to my Apple users.
This kind of stupidity is why I switched from Windows to Apple in the first place. Don't they test anything out anymore at Apple?Please don't take this the wrong way, but I think that you might be doing something wrong.
Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
To use Continuity for SMS and MMS with your iPhone and your Mac, iPad or iPod touch
Your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch need to use iOS 8.1, and your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
Sign in to iMessage on your iPhone, your other iOS devices, and your Mac using the same Apple ID.
On your iPhone:
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address.
Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature. -
My imessage isn`t working properly from my iphone. what could be the problem? how can I found out? the internet is working and in ipad i can send message.
I have no idea what the "freezer fix" is, nor why anyone would think temporary exposure to cold will somehow fix a hardware issue with a 100% solid state device. Also, actually freezing your iPhone may very well itself cause damage.
If you dropped it and wifi immediately failed to work, the odds are you inflicted physical damage to it - perhaps the antennae connection internally. You could try a simple reset and see if that helps, but if not, you need to take it into Apple for an evaluation and diagnosis.
If it has internal damage, since you dropped it, your warranty no longer applies. Apple does not repair iOS devices, the merely swap them for factory refurbished units (and send your damaged one back to the manufacturer in China for refurbishment or recycling). You would ahve to pay the out of warranty replacement fee (look on your country's Apple web site, under support for the iPhone for fees). -

IPad won't send message to number "not registered with iMes age" but iPhone 4 does! Why...
I often send and receive texts from my brother (who has a T-Mobile phone) but when I tried to send message to him with iPad2, it refuses and send "number not registered with iMessage" response. Now my iPad sends and receives me.ssages just fine with my and family member iPhones and iPad. What the **** is going on?
You can only send a Message on your iPad to another iOS device. Your iPhone, however, will convert the Message to a text message that can be received by your brother. This has to do withe the fact that the iPad is not a phone.

Mail sometimes won't send message
I had this problem with Mavericks, and it persists with Yosemite, using Apple Mail in both cases. Specifically: I compose a message, click on Send, and the message goes to the Outbox and just sits - it won't actually send. I checked with my provider to make sure the settings were all correct, and they are. Even weirder, when this is happening I'm able to send mail - same account - from my iPad. I send and receive email several times a day, and it mostly works fine. THis problem happens, on average, maybe once a week or so. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional. -
my outlook 2007 suddenly won't send emails. I can receive them just fine but get an error message saying:
Task Sending' reported error (0x80042109) : 'Outlook cannot connect to your outgoing (SMTP) e-mail server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'
HELP!!!!!Hi,
Please first check if you can send email from web mail. If problem continues in web mail, you'll need to contact your ISP to get further assistance.
If it works as expected in web mail, it means the problem is related to Outlook side. In this situation, please make sure your SMTP settings is set correctly. See:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/287532
If you installed any antivirus software, please try to temporarily turn off them and test again.
Besides, this issue may be caused by some other reasons, please refer to the following KB article for more details:

Hope this helps.

Someone knows why iMessage in iPad doesn't send message any more.
I usually used iMessage in my iPad, but now it does not send messages.
Someone knows how to fix it?If a Rest does not work [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!......
Then see this link and substitute iMessage for Face Time! https://discussions.apple.com/message/18217477#18217477 -
Messages on my MacBook Air won't send messages over iMessage. Anyone know how to fix this?
In preferences, under accounts, it claims that my Apple iD is hooked up to messages, including my phone number and email address...yet it isn't sending messages they always fail. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? It would be a great help.
Read this whole message before doing anything.
Back up all data.
Quit Messages if it’s running.
Step 1
Hold down the option key and select
Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. Move the following items from the Library folder to the Trash (either may not exist):
Caches/com.apple.Messages
Caches/com.apple.imfoundation.IMRemoteURLConnectionAgent
Leave the Library folder open. Log out and log back in. Try Messages again. If it works now, stop here. Close the Library folder.
Step 2
If you still have problems, quit Messages again. Go back to the Finder and move the following item from the open Library folder to the Desktop:
Messages
Note: you are not moving the Messages application. You’re moving a folder named “Messages.”
Test. If Messages now works, delete the Messages folder on the Desktop. Otherwise, quit Messages again. Put back the folder you moved, overwriting the newer one that may have been created in its place, and continue.
Step 3
In the Preferences subfolder, there may be several files having names that begin with "com.apple.iChat". Move them all to the Desktop. There may also be a file with the name "com.apple.imagent.plist". Move that to the Trash.
Also in the Preferences folder, there's a subfolder named "ByHost". Open it and do the same thing.
Log out and log back in. Test again. This time Messages should perform normally, but your settings will be lost. You may be able to put back some of the files you moved to the Desktop in this step. Relaunch and test after each one. Eventually you should find one or more that causes Messages to malfunction. Delete those files and recreate whatever settings they contained.
If the issue is still not resolved, quit Messages again and put all the items you moved to the Desktop back where they were. You don’t need to replace the items you moved to the Trash. Stop here and post again.
If you later decide that you don’t like the results of steps 2 and 3, you can undo them completely by quitting Messages and restoring the items you deleted in those steps from your backup.
