Will iMessage say delivered when the message is being sent to a dead device

My iPad was dead and someone messaged me and it said delivered, is it normal to say delivered even when the device it's sent to is dead?

This exact thing also happened to me. Additionally when other iMessage users responded to me, they also got a Not Delivered message even though I did receive it.
I tried resetting Network settings, turning iMessage on and off, restarting, etc.
Finally this morning I went all out. I made sure I was backed up to iCloud and then did a full reset and erased all data. I restored from an iCloud backup and now things are working.
There was a little glitch at first, although it may have been user error. I have two iPhones - personal and corporate and I sync my iMessages between them. (Personal is the one with the problems that I reset.) I found that in my iMessage settings (under Send & Receive Addresses), my personal phone wasn't selected after the restore, and it wasn't using it as the source for sending a new message. I had to put a checkmark back in front of the personal phone number and select it as the new message number. It's possible I messed up when setting up the phone, but I didn't think so.
Anyway, I have done multiple tests and my iMessages are now all sending correctly and seem to be working.
Hope that helps someone. I've found a few reports of this since the 7.0.3 upgrade rolled out, but nothing with a fix. May not work for everyone, but it may be worth a shot.

My iPad 5 will not charge, I get the message " CHARGING IS NOT SUPPORTED WITH THIS DEVICE

I get the message " CHARGING IS NOT SUPPORTED WITH THIS DEVICE. I've checked different cables and chargers ( from our other iPad 5, and cleaned the port, but it won't charge plugged into the computer or ghargers.

If charging will not work with valid cables and chargers and the Lightning port is clear, there is likely a hardware issue. Take the iPad to an Apple store genius bar and have it tested by the techs.

I can receive texts from one contact but when I reply she does not receive the text. It does not say delivered when the text is sent but does not say that it has not been sent.

One of my long standing contacts cannot receive texts from me. I can see them from her. We both have iPhones . We have been texting for years.
My outgoing message is sent as iMessage and stays blue. It does not say delivered but it does not say that it has been unable to send.

basically, is it delivered or not my message as it is playing up!

If I send a text and my number is blocked will it still say delivered at the bottom of the text?

Yes. If another iPhone user has blocked you, you have no way of knowing.

My pictures are saying delivered when sent through iMessage but the person isn't actually getting them. How do I fix this?

My pictures send through iMessage only to certain people. And others the message is saying " delivered" but the person on the other end isn't getting any of my picture messages and sometimes regular iMessages with no pictures.

I was sure this curse was an Android feature since I had it constantly with my Nexus phones for the last two years, but sure enough it affects iOS8 too. Turn off wireless and and your MMS will go out fine over cellular ever time (in my experience anyway). Ridiculous, right?

I have a white iPhone 4S. For some reason I cannot MMS only one of my contacts. I'll send a picture or video and it will go through, say delivered underneath the picture, then 30 seconds later it will say not delivered and I have to send it as a text.why!

I have a white iPhone 4S. For some reason I cannot send media (picture,video,etc.) with one of my contacts. I'll send a picture or video and it will go through, say delivered underneath the picture, then 30 seconds later it will say not delivered and I have to send it as a text message. Why is this happening!? It happens connected to wifi and not connected to wifi.
I appreciate the help, thank you!

If it says "Delivered" under it to begin with, then you're not sending it as an MMS, you're sending it as an iMessage. It's entirely possible the problem is on the receiving end.

My iMessage will send to other iMessage users, but when they message me back, their messages will only send to me as a text message! I have an iPhone and iPad, and they've been synched for a year now, but I just got a new iPhone 5c . What to do?

Ok my iMessage will send to other iMessage users, but when they message me back, they can only send texts. I have an iPad and when I send iMessages to
Them from there, they receive them, but can still only text me back to my phone. They also sometimes receive messages from my iCloud email instead of my phone number.... When that happens, iMessage works. It's really annoying! Can anyone help.
I got the iPhone 5c around Christmas and it's worked fine until yesterday!!! This has been going on 2 days now. I have reset iMessage, and the network settings. I've restarted my phone and iPad and they're both completely cleared of messages. I don't know what else to do.

There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage. There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.

Why doesn't iMessage show when the message is read, all the time?

Why doesn't iMessage show when the message is read, all the time?

It depends on the recipients settings, whether they have read receipts set to on or off. If they have it off, you will not be notified of the actual time they read your message.

When I send an iMessage to my husband the message is duplicated on my phone.

When I send an iMessage to my husband, the message is duplicated on my phone. How do I change this?

It is possible that your husband's AppleID is somehow associated with your phone. The reason I say this is that in this document

the Opposite may be true regarding this section
If you aren't receiving iMessages across all iOS devices
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on each iOS device and make sure that you signed in with your Apple ID. You must use the same Apple ID on each device.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By iMessage At and make sure that you selected each phone number and email address you want to use with iMessage.
If you linked a phone number to your Apple ID with iMessage and the phone number hasn't appeared, follow these steps.
Sign out of your Apple ID in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and Settings > FaceTime on all devices.
If you're linking a phone number to an Apple ID, sign in to iMessage on your iPhone first. Then sign in to the rest of your device one by one with iMessage and FaceTime.
Soooo, if you ARE receiving iMessages across all iOS devices - see what I mean?
Make sure that YOU are signed in as in #1, and try it again.

When I send a message to blueyonder the system says the message has been sent yet the recipient cannot find it in his emails or on the server.

I compose a message and press send. The system states that it connecting and then that the message has been sent. When the recipient looks for the message on his system and/or the server he cannot find the message. I have sent him messages direct from my server and also Outlook Express and he does get them it is only when using Thunderbird do the messages go missing. Do I have to use special settings to send messages to Blueyonder?

I'd suggest you contact your email provider. Similar problems have been reported from Virgin users.

How can I turn off "reply" button when the messages come? I prefer the "open" button.

How can I turn off "reply" button when the messages come? I prefer the "open" button. Because my friends usually send lots of messages at the same time so I cannot read all of them when I press "reply", then I have to go to Messages -> my friends' messages, and it's really complicated.

Sorry for not quite understanding. I guess you are referring to a notice in an alert. I do not have that alert active on my device, so I cannot say. I use the banner alert, so I just get a notice of a message and can swipe to open that particular message. If I ignore it, it will eventually go away.
