Why won't my message notifications come up?

It's not showing I have any messages until I physically go into the message app and then it'll say I have a message. Why? How can I fix this so it'll notify me when I get a text.

Why won't my g4 desktop come on. I was trying to boot in safe mode and it would not go in safe mode. It won't come back on anymore. Can some tell me what to do.

Try Single User mode (Command+S while starting up).
Then, run fsck.
At the command-line prompt type:
/sbin/fsck -fy
Press Return. fsck will go through five "phases" and then return information about your disk's use and fragmentation. Once it finishes, it'll display this message if no issue is found:
** The volume (name_of_volume) appears to be OKIf fsck found issues and has altered, repaired, or fixed anything, it will display this message:
***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****
Important: If this message appears, repeat the fsck command you typed in step 2 until fsck tells you that your volume appears to be OK (first-pass repairs may uncover additional issues, so this is a normal thing to do).
When fsck reports that your volume is OK, typerebootat the prompt and then press Return.
Your computer should start up normally and allow you to log in.

Why won't the messages stop?!?

I was woken at 0331 this-morning by a message from Telstra telling me that I have used 50% of my data allowance. There was a second, identical message at 0430. A third message at 0526, at which stage I angrily logged in to my account and turned notifications off. Despite turning notifications off, the messages have continued to arrive on my phone; at 0557, 0635, 0720, and the latest at 0744. I'm getting really, really pissed-off now, Telstra, for two reasons: 1. Why the hell does your system send people messages at 3.30a.m.? In what universe is that even possibly acceptable? It's not an emergency, it's a data-usage notification, and it is unbelievably inconsiderate to be sending people messages like that in the middle of the bloody night. 2. Why the hell haven't the messages stopped since I turned off the notifications? I shall await a reply, and I do hope said reply is more helpful than the robo-script replies I got from Telstra's email contact a few weeks ago when I had the same problem of SMS notifications arriving in the middle of the night! Totally unsatisfactory, Telstra.

Well I am not 100% sure how it works however let’s say you were using data last night and you went through 50%, 75% and then 100% of your data. 5 hours later in the middle of the night it sends you a 50% data usage message, 5 minutes after that it sends you a 75% usage message and so on and so forth. It’s not an ideal system because of the delay however I guess if you weren’t to get the messages people would be unhappy about that as well. The delay in the usage is the problem.

Why won't my push notifications for the app snapchat work after yesterday's iOS update?

After yesterday's update the app snapchat won't send me push notifications anymore

Hello Nhuphham,
It sounds like you are not receiving your Snapchat notifications on your iPhone. I found an article with steps that might help with this:
Additional Information
If you have an app that could send frequent notifications (for example, Mail with high-traffic email accounts, Twitter apps, and so on), your iOS device could wake frequently to display the notification (and affect battery life). You can disable "View in Lock Screen" for a particular app in Settings > Notifications > <app name>.
Troubleshooting notifications
Push notifications require an active Wi-Fi or cellular connection. If you are not receiving notifications for a specific app, try these steps:
Verify that the app supports notifications.
After installing an app or restoring a backup to a different iOS device, open the app at least once to begin receiving notifications.
If the app requires entering or logging in to an account, you will need to do this before receiving notifications.
Check Settings > Notifications to ensure that the app is configured for notifications.
If notifications do not appear only in the Notification Center, verify that the Notification Center setting for the app is enabled.
If you are still unable to receive notifications and you are using a Wi-Fi connection, verify that the network or firewall is not blocking access to port 5223.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Understanding Notifications

If you are still not receiving the notifications for Snapchat after following those steps, I recommend continuing with the steps in the following article:

Why won't Verizon Messages app work on phone with Wi-Fi only?

I've successfully downloaded and installed the app from Google Play on a phone of mine that I only use wi-fi on. There is no cellular service to this particular device. It's set to airplane mode, with wi-fi on, essentially making it a 4.5 inch tablet, or like an android equivalent to an iPod touch. When I start the app though, it displays the screen shown in the included screenshot, and won't let me connect to the service, despite the fact that a wi-fi connection is present. I've seen that this is an issue that some others have had. I have Verizon service with my main phone, I'm not sure why the app that supposedly lets you access your texts via wifi will only do that on tablets or phones with cell service. Is there any way to get this working? Will there be any updates to allow the functionality that I'm looking for? I've read that it was present at one time, so why the change?

According to the Verizon website you are wrong.
Verizon Messages - Verizon Wireless
It states "
Use Wi-Fi to send and receive messages on your smartphone, tablet, PC, Mac and web browser"
I find personally that you are correct, is the website designed to mislead us? it is the same on the play store for google.
The difference is not just in one place, it is everywhere it is advertised. So it was meant to work but to charge customers the function was removed is my understanding.

Why won't the messages and facetime app work?

I refuse to believe that the only fix for this is to do all the behind the scenes stuff to change out certain aspects of apps. I would think that because messages and facetime come built into 10.8.2. I believe that it is on apple's shoulders to fix this with an update or maybe just an updated messages and facetime app.

I had my messages and facetime in a folder inside applications, once I copied and pasted the new apps into the folder and clicked replace, they worked just fine, maybe some of you have done the same thing!

Why won't my messages sync on both my iphone and ipad?

Since I've installed the latest software update for my iphone 4 and ipad 3 my messages are not syncing with both devices. Today for example I had a message sent to me at 2pm that went to my ipad (which was at home) instead of my phone.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I have the same email address and contact number set up for both........

I found a solution that worked for me. I had this same problem and I feel like I tried everything. No matter how many time I synced, the songs appeared to be on my phone, but they would just get skipped over if I tried to play them ("ghost" songs). The answer is not checking and unchecking artists/playlists/etc in iTunes. The phone still thinks the songs are there so it won't sync them to the phone. Here's what to do: go to Settings --> Music and then make sure "Show All Music" is off. Then go to the Music app and try to play through your songs. Now, when a song is skipped over it should no longer appear in the iPhone's library. Once all songs are skipped (could take a few minutes depending on the size of your library), the "ghost" songs will disappear. On the next sync iTunes will put them all back on the phone. Hope this helps.

Why won't group messages on iPhone 5 work

My iPhone 5 won't let me send messages it lets me receive but it doesn't let me send any messages

please help

HT1719 ok why won't sync to ipod come on list

got an ipod shuffle have opened account in tunes and reinstalled things 4 x why can't i get the prompts i need to work it, i'm 2 degrees above computer dumb

So it sounds like this is the first time you are trying to use this iPod shuffle with this computer... It has not previously worked.
If you have been trying to connect the shuffle to a USB hub, I would connect it to a direct port on the computer. And if you have not already done so since installing iTunes, do a shut down (power off) of the computer. Use this procedure to reset the shuffle
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
Start up computer with shuffle NOT connected. Run iTunes. Connect shuffle.
If that does not help, you should also try disconnecting ALL other USB devices, except for a standard mouse and keyboard. This is in case there is some USB device conflict. Then, connect the shuffle to a USB port that is directly on the computer.
If that does not help, and you have an Apple Store nearby, I would make a reservation at the Genius Bar to have the shuffle looked at. If it is defective, you can see about getting it replaced under warranty.

HT204053 Somehow the very first email I had years ago that I don't even remember the password for, keeps coming up as my apple ID, when I want to make any purchase on ITunes. Why won't my real ID come up, and I can't find the right solution?

Does anyone know how to eliminate a mistaken apple ID that you still use as an email
but for some reason, now when I go to make a purchase at ITunes, it brings up this email
as my apple ID instead of my actual Id and it will not take the current password I have for
this email. Somehow I believe it is confused, because years ago this was my first email, and
it had a different password way back then, that I no longer remember.
I am very sorry if this all sounds confusing, but my Mac book has been out of commission for the
past year, and I have been recently trying to work on it, and I am not suave on the computer at all, so
if my next question sounds lame, you'll know why... I wondered if that may have caused any of my
latest hitches, only because when I first purchased Mac, 4 years ago, this rogue email was the one
I signed up with everything on my Mac, but I have not been using it for the past 9 months, just my
iPhone, until that died 3 months ago, and then I got this new I phone 5 2 months ago, thinking my
problems would be..., a thing of the past,??, for at least a little while??? But NO, they have not,
However, I'm sticking to the problem at hand, I have a full functioning apple ID that works and at
some occasional times, ITunes would bring the correct ID up. And only once in a while bring the
Bogus one up. But in the last few weeks, all it asks for now is the wrong ID and my frustration has
reached its max!!' I have missed out on purchasing two apps I needed, and some music I wanted,
and I don't think I'll be able to even use ITunes at all until I can know how to make my devices realize
that my email is an email, not a apple ID, and then make it accept my real ID!!!
Without having to eliminate, or delete my email address I still use, and receive mail
at. Please forgive this lengthy explanation!!!
I was only trying to make sense, if I confused you
more, I'm very sorry... Thank you for any brave ones that tackle this, and actually have some
Solutions for me.., I thank you much indeed!! Sincerely Kim

Why won't my messages delete on my iphone?

I deleted all of my FaceBook messages via my PC. BUT they will not delete on my iphone; they still appear. I've tried holding and the only option is the archive and even when I try doing that, they re-apear.

You would need to ask the facebook developer or look at their support site.

Why won't the airplay button come up now I have upgraded to ios7

I can not get my iPhone or my wife's phone or our iPad to connect to Apple TV by airplay anymore, I upgraded everything yesterday to ios7 and airplay was working, I have come to it today and nothing will connect, the button has disappeared off everything !!
Any ideas anyone please ?

It'll be on the new Home Screen control panel. Swipe that into view (up on my 4S and iPad2) and it's there. Waste of time solving this and an epic fail. I pay extra for Apple to avoid this type of wasted Android type activity. I don't pay extra to spend hours on forums solving basic user functions......grrrrrr!?!
And good luck. Next purchase likely to be a samsung.

Why won't iCloud message go away?

My ipad has a message on the main screen that says: This ipad has not been backed up in 4 weeks. The message will not go away when I push OK & it will not let me shut the ipad down. It is esentially frozen. I have gone in to manage my icloud to allow more room for back up. Still not helping.

Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears
Then go to:
Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > Select your device > Show all apps and turn off anything you don't need backed up.
You may be too short on local storage to do a back up.
Check here: Settings > General > Usage
Try transfering any photos and videos to your computer.
