Why can't I send an iMessage to someone from my iPad unless they message me first?

Why can't I send an iMessage to someone from my iPad unless they message me first? Even if it is someone I have chatted with on iMessage before, if they have been cleared off my screen, I can't send them anything unless they message me first. I know for a fact they have an up to date iPhone.

OK.
Turn off and on (restart) your iOS device (press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds, then slide the slider.)
If restarting doesn’t fix it:
It has been reported that changing your DNS settings fixes this issue. To change DNS servers, follow these instructions for iOS devices (iPhone, iPod touch, iPad):
Tap Settings
Tap Wi-Fi on the left-hand side
Tap the blue arrow next to your current Wi-Fi network
Tap the “DNS” field and enter the DNS servers; 8.8.8.8
Now see if it is working.

Text messages as in SMS/MMS, or iMessages?
If the former, contact your carrier.

I can not send text messages

this is a new problem on my g4. all of a sudden I can not send text messages when i am in my home. this happens on my s4 and my sons s4 but my daughter uses an iphone and she is not having this problem. i can receive texts, facebook, email etc I just can not send texts. Nothing in my house has changed except that Comcast just put in a new modem, I am not tech savvy at all so not even sure that would affect my out going texts
any suggestions would be great

Hi scrappy1989,
Let's see what's causing the problem! Are you using a 3rd party messaging application? Are you having trouble sending picture and text message? Do you experience the issue with everyone you send a message to? Do you receive an error message? I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Have you tried a reset? Hold down the home/power button until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
Have you gone into the email settings and making sure the password are still there?

All content from iTunes is tied to the account that downloaded it, so the id that shows when trying to download updates should be the account that 'owns' that app. Do you recognise the id that is showing e.g. has anybody else downloaded or synced content to your iPad ?

How can I delete a bad app completely from my iPad mini in order to re-download it as though I never had it?

Yes, it will now always show that you purchased it, but with it deleted from ipad, when yu click the icon to download again, it will download the latest versioon available from the app store.
You cannot delete what is in the app store. nor can you erase your previous history of purchasing the app.

HT3529 I am in Chinese, but somehow I could not send text message to UK or US now, but could call Uk and US phone number successfully. Is there anyone could help this, thanks!!!

I am using iphone 4, and upgraded the system to IOS6 already. but I found I could not send test message to UK and US, I could call phone number in UK or US successfully. Could someone to help me to fix up this issue. I guess the problem probably came from the format of UK or US phone number in my Iphone address book. Due there is some blank space between the phone number for iphone phone number format. I ever try andro phone, no blank space there, so could send test message to UK and UK without problem.
