Can't text friend from iPad but can from iPhone?

90+% of my texts and the responses to these texts show up on both my iPhone and iPad -why don't the others? When starting new text from iPad (to some friends) I can pick from address book but name is "red" and messages won't send?

1. Messages on the iPad can only be sent to other iDevices
2. The receiving party must also be registered with iMessage
Note: The two above conditions must be met.

    Under no circumstances can you receive a text from an Android phone on the iPad. Using your iPhone number on your iPad, only allows you to keep the messages in sync across all iOS devices.
    The messages app doesn't work with Android phones. It only works with other iOS devices and Macs running Mountain Lion or Mavericks. You can text with Android phones using an iPhone because that uses standard SMS text messaging.
    So if your whole theory about the fact that you can't receive texts on the iPad was predicated on the fact that you don't get the texts from your husband's phone, now you know why. It's never going to happen with an Andriod device.

    You can stop new photos being automatically added to Photostream in iPhoto from iPhoto preferences > Photostream.

  • I can't receive text msgs from Iphone users-what gives?

    Hi,  I have had this issue for weeks.  I have been trying to find a solution through t-mobile but so far I still can't receive text messages from Iphone users. It is across the board.  I know about 5 people with Iphones and I can't get text messages from any of them.  Does anyone know why?  By the way, they all can receive my text msgs, no problem, but I can't receive theirs.  Is it because I don't have internet service on my blackberry?  But my friend who has an old Nokia phone with no internet capability receives texts from Iphone users, no problem??  Please help.  
    Thanks! 

    Sounds like you are on the right track. But dealing with carriers is, well, frustrating at best. And inconsistent. If you get a CSR that says they can do nothing. Hang up and call back...until you get someone who can really help.
    And maybe try different paths into support -- for instance, on the BIS login page for VZW, there is a number listed there that is different than any other of their support numbers. I had a problem with BIS once, called there and they got it fixed within 5 minutes. My account rep and other CSR's had been telling me that there was nothing they could do. So persistence wins out.
    Best.

    They are not text messages, they are iMessages.
    Turn on iMessage on the iPhone.

    I'd like to backup my text conversations to my iPad from my iPhone 4.
    Is there a way of doing so?
    Thanks

    Not without restoring your iPad from the backup of your iPhone, which will revert all data and settings on your iPad to those contained in this backup, not just text message conversations.

  • I upgraded from Iphone4 to Galaxy S4 and not receiving text messages from Iphones.

    I upgraded from Iphone4 to Galaxy S4 and not receiving text messages from Iphones.I went to https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do and unregistered my old iPhone to resolve the issue. It's been one day and I cannot recieve text messages from Iphones

    Verizon wiping out old phones would have nothing to do with it. The phone is no longer associated with the number, so wiping the phone would have no effect. It is your Apple ID which is the problem. You have iMessage turned on for your Apple ID. iPhones which have your Apple ID associated with your contact will send texts to your Apple ID, not your phone #. If you have another Apple device which can use iMessage, you could turn off iMessage in that device, but as long as your friends have your Apple ID associated with your contact and you have turned on iMessage in an Apple device and never turned it off before switching from an Apple device to another platform, you will have this problem.
    You can bet that Apple will not address the problem, as they don't see it as a problem if someone is using a phone other than an iPhone. Apple expects no one will ever switch away from an iPhone once one has been used. Therefore, no problem for them to address.
    The problem lies with Apple wanting their users to go through yet another proprietary interface, iMessage, which the MAJORITY of all smartphone users do not have access.

  • LG Revolution not receiving text messages from iphone user

    I am not receiving text messages from iphone user, sporatically.  The messages are showing as reveived on Verizon website in usage detail, but not being received on my phone.

        This issue needs fixed asap! I have a few suggestions that should help you get this resolved. If they are showing up in the usage details, that means they are hitting the Verizon network, but for some reason they are not showing up on the phone.   I recommend clearing the cache from your messaging/text messaging programs. Go to settings> applications> manage apps> all> Messaging/Text Messaging> Force Stop/Clear Cache/Clear Data. Erase the old text threads that you have saved and retry.
    If that doesn't work, please let us know the following:
    1) Do they come in delayed or not at all?
    2) Do you have any 3rd party messaging apps installed?
    3) Do they have any problems receiving messages from you?
    4) When they're sending messages, are they directly to you, or do you have this problem when the iPhone user sends to a group of people?
    Thanks for the additional info! I'm sure we can find a fix.

  • HT5824 I switched over from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S3 & I haven't been able to receive any text messages from iPhones. Please help with turning my iMessage completely off..

    I switched over from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S3 & I haven't been able to receive any text messages from iPhones. I have no problem sending the text messages but I'm not receivng any from iPhones at all. It has been about a week now that I'm having this problem. I've already tried fixing it myself and I also went into the sprint store, they tried everything as well. My last option was to contact Apple directly. Please help with turning my iMessage completely off so that I can receive my texts.

    If you registered your iPhone with Apple using a support profile, try going to https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do and unregistering it.  Also, try changing the password associated with the Apple ID that you were using for iMessage.

  • I cant receive text messages from iPhone users to my android phone

    I recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S5 after owning an iPhone 4s. All my contacts transferred but now I can't receive text messages from iPhone users to my android device. I read that I have to make sure that my Apple id is totally deleted. How do I do that?

  • I receive messages (via Message) on my iPad, but NOT my iPhone. What's happening?

    Hi all,
    I seem to be able to receive Messages on my iPad, but not my iPhone. My iPad doesn't have cellular service, so I'm assuming that I won't be able to get non-Mac-based messages on it...
    Using Verizon.
    I have an iPhone 5, it's up-to-date. Is there something in Settings I need to change?
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    Eri

    I've removed icons from Multitask bar, both devices are completely powered down and off.
    Please tell me why this would help? My iPad was at home, my iPhone with me when I messaged my husband. Receiving no response, I tried again and again and got no answer from him.
    I come home and find that his responses are all on the iPad.
    But I've never had that problem before!
    I have to wait until my spouse sends me a message and see...
    Thanks,
    Eri
    ETA: PS I'm not sure about my iCloud settings.
