APPLE: Only one message destination fail to send???

Wednesday, August 27, 2025

One problem that has just started happening today. I am trying to forward an imessage to 7726 spam and it’s not being sent. I’ve done extensive stuff singout and in; restarted. yada yada. And it is ONLY this one destination that is failing.

#102678619378

Never mind I can’t spend anymore time on it.

Apple chat support is slow to respond.  Apple support options don’t let you focus on iMessage problems. 

Argh!

SOFTWARE: iMessage on the MAC OS X doesn’t report completely

Wednesday, November 4, 2015

Found a confusing “use case” with iMessage on the MAC OS X:

Sent two texts this morning, one worked and one failed repeatedly.

Figured out why it was failing, duh.

I text from the mac because I like the full keyboard. I text X and Y every morning and night. (“I’m alive … still!”)

This morning X’s went through to her iPhone as usual, but Y’s didn’t.

Then I realized iMessage uses the iPhone to text Y with SMS. And my iPhone was out of power. And, the MAC version of iMessage just reports: “not sent”.

Which technically is true, but it should say something like “no response from your Iphone, dummy”. Argh!

Strike one for a poor design. Or is that “a feature”?

Argh!
