HT5622 How can I get my iMessage to work again on my iPad mini?

The iMessage on my iPad Mini quit working, although it still works on my iPhone.  When I look at my settings in messages, my phone number isn't there and it will not allow me any way to enter my phone number.  How can I get my iMessage to work again?

  • My "Hanging with Friends" app keeps crashing whenever I try to open it. I have deleted and re-downloaded the app, restarted my iPhone, and even restored my iPhone all together, and nothing is working. How can I get this app to work again?

    Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
    You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

  • How can I get my speaker to work again?

    How can I get my speaker to work again? I've tried turning my phone off and on, hard reset, removing SIM, cleaning out dust, using the hair dryer, network reset, cleaning headphone port, made sure the phone was not on vibrate,and made sure "Change with buttons" was on. There was no liquid/moisture damage.  I was watching a video on youtube and all of a sudden my speaker went out. If I tap on the speaker it goes in and out but does not stay on/loud.

    Do you get sound in any apps e.g. in Music and Videos but not notifications or sound in other apps ? If you do get sound in Music and Videos then have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
    Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad above the volume switch, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
    If you don't get sound in any apps then have you could try a soft-reset to see if you get sound after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    I do backup with iCloud.  I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud. 
    I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
    I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever.  Is that right?
    In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
    If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

  • I recently transferred my ipnone service from at&t to another carrier the phone worked fine until i tried to up it with itunes i now have a frozen itunes logo and a plug on the screens my phone is a iphone 3g how can i get my phone to work again?

    my ipone 3g is frozen with aitunes logo and plug after i tried to update it from apple. the phone worked fine even thou i changed carriers from at&t to Simple celleur. How can i get my phone to work?

    As AT&T has not officially unlocked your phone it must have been hacked to use another carrier.  So when you updated it has relocked itself to AT&T. There is no official unlock so this will happen anytime you update.

  • How do I get my audio to work again on my iPad?

    How do I get my audio to work again when I play video links on my iPad 2?  Think the problem might have started when I did the update to IOS 7.1.  I click on a video link when I'm in an app like Facebook.  The video plays, but no audio.  I used to be able to open the link in Safari and the be able to hear the audio.  But now that doesn't work either.  Apple support helped with a similar problem in10/3013.  They made me back up my iPad to ITunes through my laptop and think they wiped my iPad and re-loaded the software.  Is there any other fix?

    I just saw an answer that "Demo" posted 9/30/2012.  Said to re-boot the iPad system by holding Down to the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the apple logo screen popped up.  It worked.  I I've got audio again on my video links!

  • How can I get my PC office documents onto my new ipad mini

    How can I get my microsoft office documents off my PC and onto my new Ipad mini?

    You will have to install an app to your ipad that can open them. Then you can either use file sharing in itunes to transfere those files to your ipad. Or you can install icloud control panel on your pc, purchase apple's iwork applications, and save the files to icloud.
    iTunes file sharing:
    Transfer files between your computer and mobile apps
    If you have an iPod touch or iPhone with iOS 4 or later, or an iPad, you can use iTunes to transfer files between your computer and an app on your device that supports file sharing.
    You might want to do this if, for example, you want to save files you create on your device to your computer, or take files with you so you can use them when you’re away from your computer.
    You don’t need to sync your device to transfer files, but your device needs to be connected to your computer.
    For information about supported apps, see the documentation for your apps.
    ShowTransfer files from your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad to your computer
    HideTransfer files from your computer to your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad
    Connect your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad to your computer and select your device.
    Click Apps.
    Below File Sharing, select an app from the list, and click Add.
    In the window that appears, select a file to transfer, and click Open.
    The file is transferred to your device, and can be opened in the app you selected in step 3.

  • Yosemite install a complete fail, how can I get my computer to work again?

    i Tried to install Yosemite  and the computer (Mac mini) failed on the install.  Tried to restart and then unplugged.  Turns out some of the OS installed and can no longer get my computer to reach the home screen.  After starting the status bar gets halway and then stops.  How can I make my computer usable again?  Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi Yosemitenightmare,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your Yosemite install. If there was an interuption or failure during the initial installation and now your Mac won't start up successfully, you may want to try reinstalling the OS, as outlined in the following article:

  • How can i get my slide to work again

    i need help trying to get the slide back working any suggestions

    Try:
    - Resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
    If you still have the problem than an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order since you likely have a hardware problem.

  • How can I get my iMessage to work after iOS7.0.3 update ?

    I had the iMessage bug for iOS7 update for over a month now & was happy to hear that the new update would fix this but to find out it still doesn't work !!! What can I do to fix this ? it doesn't allow me to send or receive photo msges. I've also waited a hour for it to activate since it says "waiting for activation"

    Hi there,
    I updated to 7.0.3 and the promised iMessage Fix seems not solving the problem. So i just tried the following steps (like before 7.0.3) disable iMessages, reset the network settings, start iMessages but still not working.
    Thats *****, sometimes i recieve the messages correctly, sometimes 15min later or as through by chance when opening iMessages.
    Is it sure that a complete reset will fix the problem?
