I have a brand new iPad newest version. Wifi. The messaging won't send out but I receive messages from others. What is wrong?

I have the newest version of the iPad (3rd generation) with wifi. The messaging won't send out but I'm receiving messages from others when I'm using it. They also come through on my iphone at the same time. But I can't send them out on the iPad. I tried someone's suggestion of changing the DNS to 8.8.8.8 and that did not work to fix it. What is wrong with this thing?  Thank you in advance for your help.

Are you trying to send a message to a cell number or an email address?  iPad does MMS, not SMS, meaning it can't send a message to a number.  It can send a message to an email address........

    If it's an Intel Mac, you can upgrade it to Mac OS X 10.6.8.
    If it's a PowerPC Mac, you need to use these instructions and/or iTunes Match to put content on the iPad.

    lots of people seem to be havgin a problem sending email from iCloud webmail.
    does your email address have uppercase characters in it?
    if so, try creating an alias in lowercase (go to preferences in iCloud webmail and select 'accounts') and see if email sends okay from that

  • I have a brand new iPad 2 and it is not being "seen" by iTunes for Windows (64 bit Win 7)

    I originally had my iTunes library (music, apps, etc) on a MacBook.  Used "home sharing" to drag over most of my collection to my new Windows 7 laptop.  All apps, music, etc show up fine in iTunes on Windows but when I unpacked my new iPad 2 and plugged the apple cable into the USB port on my Windows laptop and the other end in my iPad 2, no synching occured nor did the iPad 2 show up on the left-hand list on iTunes. 
    Any idea what might be wrong?  I did already try different USB ports.  Each time I plug and unplug I get the audible notification from my laptop that the cable is disconnected and/or connected.  so it's not a hardware issue. 

    A Couple of questions..
    Is the location shown under preferences/Advanced/General still showing the correct location?
    Is the check boxes under this checked or unchecked?

  • I have a brand new IPhone 4G.  For the life of me, I can't get the phone to ring. I have been in and out of my settings, have disengaged both silent and vibrate.  But when dialing my number from another phone, the call goes direclty into my voice mail

    I have a brand new IPhone 4G.  I can't get it to ring.  I have gone into settings and disengaged vibrate, and have engaged the ring button on side of phone.  But everytime I dial my number from a different phone, it doesn't ring. Rather the call goes directly into my voice mailbox (ogm heard immediately); not even one ring! Please advise

    Well, if it goes to VM immediately the call isn't reaching your phone, so no wonder it isn't ringing. Do you see a network displayed in the upper left of the screen? Have you activated the phone by connecting to a computer with the latest version of iTunes? Have you called your carrier to make sure they have provisioned it correctly?

  • Brand new ipad 2 64gb wifi wont turn on

    Hi Guys,
    I just bought a new Ipad 2 64gb Wifi, unboxed the ipad but i wasnt getting the cable to connect it to the itunes screen so I tried to charge it with the wall charger and with the usb but nothing seemed to work, charger and ipad went hot as when you usual charge the devices as i have also an ipad 2 16gb, i have been not able to turn it on, the screen is completely black and the computer is not detecting it.
    Tried so far:
    Updated Itunes to lastest version
    Power button for 5 seconds
    Reset mode  (power and home for 15 seconds), no apple logo was shown.
    Tried other cables none of them are working.
    Tried DFU mode and tried a restore but itunes is not detecting the Ipad
    I will be going next week to an apple store, but i want it to first give it the try here.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Have you tried resetting network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings?
    You will have to re-enter your passwords since keychain items are only restored to the same device:
    "The keychain can only be restored from backup to the same iPad. If you are restoring to a new device, you will need to fill in these passwords again.)"

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

    Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

  • Below this app Iphoto logo word "waiting" been there for 10 days. I have a brand new Ipad mini Retina display with A7chip and M7

    I purchased a New Ipad Mini the latest with A7 chip and M7 Retina Display. I cannot download any apps. When I click apps Iphoto will appear .
    I dont need to use Iphoto. I want to download Candy Crush Saga.  And below my Iphoto logo there's a word " waiting". Isnt it that Iphoto is built in to this Ipad Mini? I want to download Imovie apps or any apps but I cant..What should I do Apple..

    If you're having problems with the App Store you might try this:
    1 - enable the Debug menu in App Store:
    open the Terminal application.
    copy the command below and paste into the Terminal window:
    defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
    followed by Enter.
    launch App Store, login.
    2 - select the Debug ➙ Reset Application option:
    3 - try again to download the app of your choice.

  • Do you have a trade in program? If so how much could I get for a brand new iPad 2 64gb wi-fi   3G?

    Apple does not have a trade-in program. You can search Google for places that might purchase your iPad 2.

  • Brand new iPad fails sync due to "computer no longer authorized"

    Hello all,
    I have a brand new iPad 64GB that I can't sync to my existing iTunes library.  Every time I try, I get an error that says, "The iPad could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPad."  In iTunes, I go to Store > Authorize This Computer, and that dialog says that my computer is already authorized.  Then I try to sync again and end up with the "no longer authorized" error again.
    So what is in the default load of a new iPad that iTunes doesn't think I've paid for?
    The same iTunes (for Windows, version 11.1.5.5)  has no trouble syncing my iPod Touch, iPod Nano, and several Shuffles. So why is it barfing on the iPad?
    Any advice greatly appreciated,
    BD

    May be some help here.
