Why wont my phone receive texts that were sent whilst I was updating it?

I updated my phone today to IOS 8, during the process I ended up having to reset and back up my phone which took around 3 hours. Whilst this happened my friend text me yet the text still hasn't come through. Will it eventually come through? I'm worried I may have missed other important texts.
Thanks for your help!

Thanks! Not sure what they did but I could use the phone when I found it. He said he enabled it but nothing seemed to change. Just curious of messages still come thru when disabled.

  • Using Verizon Messaging and people are not receiving my texts NOR am I receiving texts that were sent to me!  Went to old iphone and disabled imessaging but still not working. I'm a big texter for personal and business and am ready to go back to iPhone. 

    Just got the Samsung Galaxy s5 and am very frustrated that I am not receiving text messages that were supposedly sent to me.  Also, it says 'sent' but it is never delivered.  Or it might get delivered but mine still just shows being sent.  I re-started that phone and disabled my texting on my old iphone as some have suggested.  I'm ready to go back to the iphone just because of this issue.  Please fix this Verizon!

    I'll tell you it is some marketing coup that a problem Apple has created and has control over is being passed off on Verizon.
    This problem is the result of you migrating from iMessage, a messaging platform controlled completely by Apple, back to a more mainstream messaging system of SMS/MMS. Verizon has no control over other iPhones "thinking" you are still using iMessage. NOTHING Verizon can do will fix this problem.
    Try texting the word "stop" to 48369. Others have reported this has worked. Doing this should de-register your number with the iMessage system. You should receive a confirmation reply. It may take a day or 2 for other iPhones to completely register that your number is no longer associated with iMessage. You can also try calling Apple support and let them know you are not receiving messages from iPhone users after switching to an android phone from an iPhone.

  • How do I read/receive messages that were sent to me while my phone was on airplane mode?

    I recently went away camping and turned my phone on airplane mode so I wouldn't receive any charges. But when I take my phone off airplane mode it shows I have no new messages showing. I was wondering how I can receive and read those messages once I take it off of airplane mode.

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • Someone is receiving texts that are sent to my phone number to their imessage

    So first off let me say that I don't have an iPhone but I used to have one. Anyways my two cousins who have iphones have tried texting me but someone else who has an iPhone is receiving them. Is there anything I can do about that?

    You need to change your apple ID password for the iPhone you sued to have. Go to appleid.apple.com then manage my ID

  • Texts that were sent

    Those receiving my texts, who do not have an iPhone are receiving jumbled messages.  Why and is there anything I can do to rectify this problem?  I need to communicate with these people via texts!

    Are you using emoji? If so, try sending texts without them and see if you still have the problem.

  • How to recover messages that were sent to me when iMessage was turned off?

    iMessage on my phone somehow got switched off while I was traveling abroad.  I didn't realize it about a week after I got back to the US (and realized I wasn't receiving texts from certain friends).  How can I recover those texts that were sent to me while iMessage was turned off?  They didn't show up when I turned it back on like I expected.

    If they are queued up they will just be delivered when you turn iMessage on again
    However they may have been sent back as unable to be delivered back to the sender
    No way of knowing for sure

    I reset my phone and it now receives calls that were meant for my husband. I know how to fix this with messaging and facetime, but can't seem to find how to make it stop with the calls. Please help.

    It may be due to Continuity
    The following quote is from  Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
    Turn off iPhone cellular calls
    To turn off iPhone Cellular Calls on a device, go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off iPhone Cellular Calls.

  • I have an Iphone 3Gs. I need to get contents of messages that were sent and received on the phone in June for evidence in court. I read online that the Iphone internal storage keeps all data done on phone in the storage. How do I get into it?

    I have an Iphone 36s. I need to get contents of messages that were sent on the phone in June of this year. I read online that the phone has an internal storage that keeps all data when phone is used and that this internal storage can be accessed. I need the contents of particular messages for evidence in court. How do I get into the internal storage? I've tried some of the methods that people post online, but none of them have been successful. Help!

    If you still have a backup from that point in time as part ofr your computer backup history, you could restore the backup folder, restore the phone from that backup and have the messages on the phone.
    More details about restoring from old backups can be found here: iPhone and iPod touch: About backups

  • HT4623 My friend has an I phone & received word that she should install iOS6 onto her phone.  When I try to do this, the line where it says download & install does not light up & therefore, I am unable to install.  Why is this?

    My friend has an I phone & received word that she should install iOS6.  When I tried to do this, the line that says "download & install" isn't lit up & therefore, I am unable to do this.  Any ideas?  My phone was purchased about 3 weeks ago.

    To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
    Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

  • Why did i stop receiving texts on my computer?

    why did i stop receiving texts on my computer

    If you are forwarding text messages from your phone, on the iPhone, go to [Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding] here, make sure that it lists your mac (the toggle switch is on or green). If not, turn it on and enter the code on your mac on the phone.
    If you are talking about not receiving iMessage on your mac, open messages and press [⌘(command) + ,] and go to accounts tab. Make sure that this bar shows your apple ID and the message emails and numbers. LIKE THIS:  https://www.flickr.com/photos/121340273@N04/16835123442/

  • What are the recommended settings for multiple iPhones and iPads in the same family?  I don't want my family members contacts in mine...or them receiving texts that are intended just for me.  Help!

    I don't want my wife's or children's contact information in my contacts during syncing...or them receiving texts that are intended or me.  Can someone please tell me how they handle multiple family members settings in regard to emails, iCloud, and iTunes?  Does each phone have a separate computer login, iTunes account or iCloud accounts?  Help!

    Yes, set them up with their own Apple IDs:
    http://appleid.apple.com
    An Apple ID may have been entered in the following places:
    Settings > iCloud > Account
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive
    Settings > FaceTime

  • After upgrading to iOS7, I can no longer send or receive texts that aren't iMessages.

    As the title indicates: After upgrading to iOS7, I can no longer send or receive texts that aren't iMessages.
    The text conversations are still there; you can see that I used to be able to text anyone. But now I cannot.
    I have followed several different fixes suggested in these forums, I have Restored my phone, I have Reset Network Settings, I have Reset All Settings, I have checked settings on several friend's phones. But I still cannot send or receive texts that are not iMessage texts.
    This seems like a pretty big deal. People text more than they call. And I now have a phone that cannot text very many people.
    It is so frustrating. I have spent so much time trying to get it to work.

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
    I don't know if this is a corrupted preference file or not, but it sure can't hurt to try this.
    If Mail is open, Quit Mail.
    /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
    Drag that .plist file to the Desktop. Launch Mail and see if you can send or receive e-mail. If you can, that .plist file is corrupted. Drag it to the trash, empty the trash and reboot. Your Mac will create a new preference file for you the next time you launch Mail.
    Also... run Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions. Disk Utility is in your Applications/Utilities folder. Launch DU, select MacintoshHD 10.x.x in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab, click Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU when it's finished and reboot.

  • My laptop receives texts that my iPhone 5 does not

    I don't know why suddenly I receive texts that do not show up at all on my iPhone.  Also, I have been having a problem sending texts.  I type the text and then hit the Send button.  The text doesn't do out nor do I receive a Not Delivered message.  Please help.

    Hi macushla,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having issues sending or receiving SMS text messages in Messages on your iPhone, you may find the troubleshooting outlined in the following article helpful:

  • Why wont apple accept the fact that 4.0 is for iphone 4 and not for 3gs?

    Having all those problems said with 3g/s running on iOS 4.X why wont they let us just downgrade back to 3.1.3 officially until they find a way on how to solve issues with 3g/s?
    About the downgrade method of life hacker, if you're really not good in those things you might actually ruin your pc like my friend who tried it, she lost her wifi on her notebook, i had to help her find the installer of the driver again. this happened after she tried to install that libusb that is needed to run the application for exit recovery mode and other stuff.
    Yes iOS 4.1 is out but contacts disappearing? And who knows what more problems it brings. I was even peeking around the iphone 4 forums it seems that they are not doing well either.
    Anyway mine is all fine except that im afraid to use wifi or any apps that needs internet connection because everytime i do, my 3gs gets very very hot. I have already done the basic solution suggested by apple (factory reset, start from new iphone) but its still the same.
    And another thing, the multitasking is getting annoying, you have to manually close all apps in the 'multitasking background' everytime you decide to quit an app. I guess they should put a 'Disable multitasking' or something like that.

    Because it works beautifully in the 3GS, with better battery life, faster operation and some great new features.

    If you are having problems it is NOT from 4.0; there is something else wrong with your phone. There are plenty of troubleshooting tips in the forum if you look.

    NO YOU DO NOT. Those apps in the ribbon are not multitasking, they are suspended. You can ignore them and they won't hurt battery life or memory, unless they are streaming apps like Pandora.
    It's amazing. For 3 years people screamed about the fact that the iPhone didn't support multitasking. Now they scream because the phone DOES multitasking. You can't win.
