Why wont imessage on ipod touch send messages to my iphone contacts?

I have bought my daughter an ipod touch - she wants to use the imessage function to send messages to me on my iphone. The ipod touch lets her type the message but whenever she tries to send it it comes up with a red exclamation mark and says message sending failed. On other occasions it removes her contact list, or the send button wont press. So far she has not managed to send one message.
Any ideas what we are doing wrong?

See:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
Are both you only using the same Apple ID email address (and likely your phone number) in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive?
Can she Message other iOS users?

  • Tried to send iMessage from iPod touch (5th generation) but continuously says "contact not registered with iMessage". The contact IS registered with iMessage, but won't send any messages to anyone.

    I have an iPod touch 5th generation (7.1.2) that has not been sending iMessages to other iMessage users. At first my iPod would not let me sign in to use iMessage, but I searched on different discussion boards that helped me log in. Now the trouble is not being able to send messages at all. I tried to delete the contact I was trying to message and restart the conversation board, but that didn't help at all. The contact continues to say 'xxxxxx not registered with iMessage" when, in fact, they are. I need help to resolve this issue.
    Thanks

  • Why does iMessage take longer to send messages for certain conversations?

    iMessage can take around 15-20 minutes to send messages to certain conversations, but is extremely fast for others (I've noticed that it's generally faster for relatively newer conversations) off of my phone (iPhone 4S running iOS 8). iMessages for the same conversations send infinitely faster off of my macbook pro.
    It shouldn't be a wifi/data/network issue because messages sent for different conversations off of the same network take different times to send.

    I would delete the contact and then have the other person(s) send you a Mesage and then readd them as a contact.

  • Why wont you update iPod Touch 2g to iOS 5?!

    Apple, i have an iPod touch 2g and i was wondering hwhen you will EVER update the iPod touch 2g (or all the other generations) higher?

    It will very likely never be updated.  This is completely normal in every way.
    Hardware ( computers/tvs/dvd players/any other device that runs software) eventually cannot handle the newest software updates. This happens all the time with all products.
    BTW, you are not addressing Apple here at all. We are all ipod users just like you.

  • HELP!!!! iMessages on iOS6 is sending messages from my iPhone to both my iPad, my other iPhone and other friends iPhones!  and receiving messages from friends on both iPhones and iPad.

    Why is the new iOS6 using iMessage and FaceTime and sharing messages across all iPad, both iPhones, and friends messages coming in are sent to all units?  SHARING???  How do you fix this?

    HI,
    On the iPhone and iPad you can "turn off" the Apple ID in Settings > Messages > Received At (and possibly) > Caller ID.
    iOS 6 will delete the email/Apple ID across all devices (you get a warning) but presumably Messages is either left alone on the Mac or you add the ID back in again.
    AS has been said you can then set up each device with it's own Apple ID

  • Why can't I send messages to some iPhone contacts, but can to others?

    Just started using messages on my iPad. Tried my wife's iPhone, but won't work (not registered). Other contacts, no problem.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    WEll, I send messages to everyone on my iphone, just cant get certain ones  on the ipad.  Only 4 or 5 people so far can get my messages and respond on ipad.   All the  people have iphones and I use facetime to talk to them, but no imessages.....frustrating.  I have read all the articles and tried my best.   I might go straight to the apple store locally, and see if they can help me.

    Can it be some problems with the WiFi?

  • Why my imessage and facetime doesnot send and receive by my phone number.

    Why my imessage and facetime doesnot send and receive by my phone number.I have iphone4s,ios6 upgraded.

    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You can be reached by iMessage at and Start new conversations from. If you never want an iMessage addressed to your registered iMessage email address or addresses, remove the email addresses below you can be reached by iMessage at and be sure to have your cell phone number selected for start new conversations from.
    The same for FaceTime at Settings > FaceTime.

    Hi evan191,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article has some steps you can try if your messages aren't sending as iMessages:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
    If you still can't send or receive iMessages
    Ensure that iMessage is turned on in Settings > Messages.
    To send and receive iMessages, your device must have a valid cellular or Wi-Fi data connection.
    iPhone: Troubleshooting Cellular data
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    iMessage registration validates your Apple ID for use with iMessage. If you are unable to activate iMessage, follow this article.
    If an iMessage cannot be sent, it will be resent using SMS or MMS, depending on the content. You can turn this behavior on or off in Settings > Messages > Send As SMS. Carrier messaging rates may apply.
    Verify that the Apple ID or phone number is listed in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.
    Cheers,
    - Ari

  • Pc wont recognize my ipod touch

    what do i do if my pc wont recognize my ipod touch

    I had the same problems following the updater update on my ipod and pc. it became so bad that the mini pod became fried and i brought it back under warranty for a new one (and service charge of about $35 to swap them out!). When I got home I reinstalled all of the software from installation to itunes and it seemed to work. then i updated as prompted to the newer ipod software and got a serious error message again like before on my ipod and off and on recognition on itunes. i erased software again, reset pod a few times, and reinstalled without allowing the ipod updater to do anything to the original software. now it works again. warning against the updater. keep it old and simple.
