iMessage - '!' Not Delivered

[sandeepsalariya]

Same here… after sending the message it shows delivered but 2-3 seconds later it turns to "!" not delivered. Having this problem for the past 3-4 days… use to be flawless before that!

This has just started happening to me too, but also I've noticed the messages sync on iPhone and iPad but they have stopped showing on Mac. I'm not using the Beta

I had the exact same problem as the original poster in this thread. Thankfully the article at the link above had the one piece of info that I was unable to find anywhere else! When I turned off the iMessages on my iPad my iPhone 5S iMessages started working perfectly again!!

After almost an hour and a half chatting with AT&T earlier they told me that my only option was to restore my phone, but thanks to benboyd5 I no longer have to go through that mess! Woo Hoo!!

Lame issue

iMessages was suppose to be this great service to be utilized amongst all my devices.

According to Apple.com


Had this issue all day. Finally by disabling iMessages on my iPad I'm all set on my iPhone

I wanted to let people know or in the future who ever needs help with there phone with imesaages that don't send i went to settings--- general--- reset---- reset network settings. Then it will turn off your phone and boot back up. Then after I went to work becuase it still didn't work and 5 hours later it started working again so not touching you phone and resting it all together might work. Hope that helps.

Thanks for bumping this old thread. I've inherited an old iPad1 and this started happening to me. My iOS7 devices were being weird yesterday too, putting the messages in a thread into random order :/

Yesterday that same thing began happening on my 5c too. Its odd, but my MacBook, and iPad are running iMessage fine, only my iPhone makes problems.

Sometimes iMessage says "the message couldn't been delivered" though it actually did. And sometimes I receive Messages an hour later. But its all just on my iphone. The old sign out of iMessage and reboot, that always worked for me, doesn't now

I do an Restore with backup and see what will happen..

I've recently ran into an annoying problem with iMessage. At first I thought it was just a network problem, but now I'm not sure what it is now.

About 90% of my messages being sent through iMessage are getting a red (!) and saying 'Not Delivered'. But my messages are being delivered. I'm currently have a conversation with someone right now, the other person is receiving all my messages, but I'm still getting the red exclamation point beside every message. Yet sometimes I'll have a conversation with someone, I'll get the red exclamation point and they won't receive my message. So I'll have to click on it and 'Send as a Text Message'.

Is anyone else having this problem?? Any help would be appreciated, its driving me crazy. I use Rogers and live in Toronto.

Thanks!

This happened to me on my iPad. I went on my iPhone (sounds counterintuitive) settings, messages, message forwarding. It listed my devices and then I slid the button to on. Now it works fine on the iPad.

It doesn't seem that the issue was iPad or message forwarding related given that it's in relation to iOS 5 from about 5 years ago prior to any of those type of options being available.

Still happening in 2018: MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6, Messages Version 11.0 (5500). "Thanks", Apple!

I’m getting exactly the same problem - 8 years later! Also my touchscreen goes haywire. Off to the Apple shop
