![]() ![]() The issue has nothing to do with her reaching me, it’s me sending to her. In the addressee box at the top middle of the Messages window, click the pop-up and make sure you are NOT using her phone number instead, choose her email address. AND the desktop can communicate both ways without issues. EXCEPT on my desktop, it pops up in the conversation that has the probems! THAT old convo seems to not be listed at all on the desktop. I sent and it got delivered, she just read it. It opened a very old convo, one we dropped back in 2015. Tried a new message, but used her e-mail, not her phone. So when I tired to send a new message, I chose the phone number, which was the first thing up. Can’t really see a “start a new conversation” option, as you know, their “mobile apps” are limited. I thought about trying a new message, but if I try and address her, it simply bring up the existing conversation. I can receive her on my tablet, but every attempt at sending results in an almost immediate “not delivered.” Yes we can communicate both ways if I use an old group conversation we almost never use anymore. As I said, no issue communicating both ways on my desktop. It is an existing “conversation/thread” that we use. Yes both our complete addresses are set up in Contacts, and have not changed in years. Sister is running latest iOS (12.2 I think). May go to HS if I figure out it is needed fr the later Metal rev. cMP desktop, latest security rev of Sierra (I have an nVidia GPU, can’t do Mohave if I wanted to!). Yes iPad Pro, last gen, fully iOS up to date. ![]() Of course, they KNOW customers tell them stuff that turns out to be not really true, so they wanted to screen share to SEE everything for themselves. Work your way through all those questions and hopefully one of them will pinpoint the mismatch between the systems.Īdam, you make me smile! I know y’all don’t really know me, but I pretty thoroughly checked everything before I even called apple (I’m generally a pretty type a guy about this stuff, although not to the extent as in the old days when I was obsessive). How does that list compare to the addresses you send to when you’re replying and what you have in the group message?ĭoes anything change if you send her a new message as opposed to replying to an old one? ![]() On your sister’s iPhone, in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, what addresses are listed as being able to receive messages? And what address is checked under Start New Conversations From? In Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on your iPad, do you have that address listed? Same question for the Mac, in Messages > Preferences > iMessage? When your sister messages you, what address does she use? In Settings > Messages, do both of you have iMessage turned on? What version of iOS is your sister’s iPhone running? If so, what version of iOS and macOS are those running? (This is relevant only if they’re particularly old-I don’t know of any specific problems, but the older the OS versions, the more likely you are to have problems with cloud-based services.) When you say “tablet,” do you mean “iPad”? And when you say “desktop,” do you mean “Mac”? I DO think there is something on their end… so the question is, were they correct, can someone (inadvertently) block someone from a specific device but not other devices that blocked person may have? BUT the “group” message to her SAME apple address does get through from the tablet. They SAY that someone can block my sending from a specific device but not other devices, this is why desktop gets through but tablet does not. ![]() Then tell me one specific thing that I find kinda hard to believe… but I do NOT have a phone (but use iS on my tablet). Go through an hour of verifying everything I have already done. I use a group address on the tablet that she is in, she DOES get that. I go thoroughly through my stuff, everything is fine. I am getting all her messages on the tablet & desktop, she gets mine ONLY if I send on the desktop… we do this many times. Boot desktop, my message gets to her from there. Get a message from my sister (on her iPhone). I see I have made posts about the general topic, but this is a brand new symptom of dysfunction that makes me want to ask one specific question. ![]()
