Cannot send iMessage on non-Apple Phone

I have an iMac OS X El Capitan running.  When I use iMessage, I can't send a message to a mobile phone that isn't an iPhone.  I used to be able to do this, but for some reason that I can't do this anymore.  No problem when the e-mail with an iPhone.

Need to have your computer and your iOS device useful for this.

  • Unable to send iMessages synced with my phone, can receive

    I have a MacBook Pro and a reason is more send my iMessages who are in sync with my phone. I get all my messages again, but when I try and send them I get Red! I deleted my account and added to new and has not worked. Please help and thank you!

    Hello

    Consider that on the iPhone > settings > Messages > Send and Receive that identifier Apple and iPhone number are active?

    I take it on the Mac in Messages > Preferences > accounts > account number iPhone iMessages both the Apple ID are defined as items to receive to?

    IF you check the spot 'To' can you can ID or iPhone number says Mac versions you are connected to your contact?

    Is agree with the version of the iPhone?

    In some cases you will look at the synchronization on one than the other version to not connected correctly.

    Let's say for instance that the settings of the iPhone say iPhone number is not checked (it happens sometimes even if you can not change).

    After awhile, the number is de-registered and then no synchronization with the Mac as Apple and the iPhone number will become linked.

    There is a kind of time halfway house in the Middle before the number becomes derigestered where only partial sync works.

    It can be paid for sign out of the Apple ID on the two reset then the iPhone number (wait until it checks) prior to the addition of the Apple ID and turn it back on again on the Mac.

    Accept the pop ups of the iPhone on what it uses.

    I put t know what to do.

    Thank you

    Can you please tell us what operating system you have installed on your machine? Win7 64 bit perhaps?

    I guess you know how works the BT. Installing BT stack is only the first step.
    You must be sure module BT is successfully activated. You must establish a connection between your laptop and mobile phone (synchronization). Did you ever?

    Please post some more comments on the situation as a whole.

    Hey Nishya12,

    Thank you for using communities of support from Apple!

    From what I read, it seems that your iPhone on iOS 9.3.3 5s is not cling your text/iMessages. I'd like to keep track of these conversations myself I'll be happy to help you.

    Because you used the link at the bottom of the use of Messages with your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to get more help, I'll assume you have check the Messages on your iPhone settings. If you do not, click the link and check that everything is configured correctly.

    iMessages is part of the iOS on your iPhone, in order to have this behavior as you described refers to a problem with the installation.

    Save your iOS device - install a new clean copy of iOS on your iPhone, is what we call here. Since this process will erase everything, I highly recommend making sure your personal data is safe to backup and first.

    Use iTunes on your Mac or PC to restore your iOS device - to install a new copy of iOS, your iPhone will be erased completely and that cannot be done via iTunes on a computer. In the settings of the iPhone doesn't that erase your personal information.

    Once your iPhone has rebooted, you will configure your phone as a new iPhone this time. If you wish, you can connect to dive into iTunes and App Store and iCloud. At this point, check iMessages and see if it keeps your messages after they are sent. If so, the next step.

    Restore your iOS device from a backup - now you're ready to bring your information to your iPhone. Just follow the steps described in this article.

    Take care and have a nice day!

  • Cannot send files from the phone to Satellite L755-16z using BT

    Hi, experts :)

    I'll get straight to the point!
    I have a toshiba satallite L755-16z for a month or two (New, with windows 7 64-bit)
    and knows that it has BT and I guess that its 3.0

    So I tried to connect the bluetooth with my phone & it paired very well!
    but when I try to send files and from my phone, it says (connection) but fails to send it in the end. In addition, this problem is not just with my phone as I tried issuing and receiving to & from another phone, but always the same problem!

    HOWEVER, I tried to turn the BT adapter off (right-click on the icon in the notification area and then turn off bluetooth adapter), start the application (bluetooth monitor) can send files & IT WORKS!
    But this only happens for once just after the restart of bluetooth, so every time I want to send files, I have to turn off BT, then turn it on?
    It is kind of unacceptable!

    I tried Toshiba Bluetooth Stack, and he had the same problem. In addition, I didn't like the way it worked (style and all)... so I uninstalled & returned to the original version of BT in the pc.

    I looked for answers to no luck & now I'm desperate for the answer!
    Please anyone knows how to fix it, help me please? !
    If my email is required: [[email protected]]

    > HOWEVER, I tried to turn the BT adapter off (right-click on the icon in the notification area and then turn off bluetooth adapter), start the application (bluetooth monitor) can send files & IT WORKS!

    Usually the BT must be activated using the Fn + F8 key combination.
    So remember that BT has been enabled using these buttons.
