I have original ipad and however I cant add my phone number to lmessage it will only take an email address . Is this correct ?

I copied this from an Apple Support article.
If your phone number is not listed on an iPod touch or iPad, follow these steps:
Update to the latest version of iOS.
Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you are using on your iPhone.
On your iPad or iPod touch, sign out of your Apple ID in the following locations:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Sign in to your Apple ID with FaceTime and iMessage.
If your phone number is still not listed, follow these steps:
Sign out of your Apple ID on all iOS devices, including your iPhone, in the following locations:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Receive At and also in Settings > FaceTime.
Now sign in to your Apple ID on your other iOS devices.
This is the website for the support article.

How do I get my messages to come through on my ipad Via my mobile number? They always used to but I've had to change all my Apple ID if that has anything to do with it? In iMessages it will only take an email address!

I have an ipad and an iphone. For the purposes of facetime, I would like to associated my email address with just the ipad and my cell number with just the iphone. I went to settings facetime on the iphone but it won't let me remove the email address.

Please see above. I have both an ipad and and iphoen. For the purposes of facetime, I would like to associate only my email address with the ipad and only the phone number iwht the iphobne. However, I cannot remove the email address from the iphone. So, when I get a facetime via email, it rings on both the iphone and ipad. Settings>>facetime will not let me remove the email.

I wouldn't want to say exactly, however I would imagine that it has to do with the fact you use the same Apple ID on both devices. Since Facetime was activated on the phone, with the number, and then activated on the iPad with the email and same Apple ID, they are somehow linked. I'm not sure that you can separate it without having a different Apple ID on the two devices. Otherwise you can look at this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3367 and see if that helps you any.

TS2755 My Facetime and imessage are set up to be used by my email address only and I can't add my phone number to either. Does anyone know how to resolve this? I would be grateful for any help.

I cannot add my phone number to Facetime or imessage. The number is listed but not ticked and is greyed out. Does anyone know how to add the phone number? Thanks for any help.

I have an original iPad and when I try to login on Yahoo through Safari it will not log me in. What could be the problem?

My original iPad will not log me into Yahoo through Safari. It's been this way for one week. I can access Yahoo on my PC with no problem so I think the problem is my iPad or Safari.

Your description of the behavior of the ipad1 during a login attempt is more precise than mine, it is the exactly as my ipad1 reacts and supposedly as all other iPad1 will behave. This could be solved either by apple with an update of the safari browser for ipad1. I do not think that apple will do that. Also yahoo could undo the change of the login procedure which they recently made and which is incompatible do the ipad1s safari browser. They hardly will do that either if not be urged by lots of ipad1 users.
!!!! SO SEND COMPLAINS TO YAHOO, PHONE THE HOTLINE ETC !!!!!!
Otherwise you have to buy a new iPad or to change the email provider.

Have original iPad and just got iPad2 in same household with same email ID but with different interests. How can we share purchased items, email and yet keep our own separate interests?

We have iPad and ipad2 with one email address but two owners. How can we share purchases, receive same email messages but have individual accounts at the same time? Can we have same Apple User ID with different passwords? Hepl!

Aside from the fact that we have hijacked this thread - which we really shouldn't do - you would probably be better off posting questions or seeking advice in the iCloud portion of the Apple Support Communities. I'm sure that there are a lot of more experienced iCloud users on that site than I am.
I'm not a big believer in iCloud at this point, so my experience with it - other than downloading past purchases - is really pretty limited. I would not want to steer you down the wrong path.
However, here is the Apple iCloud support website that is loaded with all sorts of information and links to even more information. This will get you started anyway ....

HT201407 how to activate old 3gs if you dont have original sim and it is 3 years old phone?

hi i get old iphone 3gs with serial:86012TPT3NP and now after update to 6.1.3 cant activate it because i dont have original sim.i need to know if apple unlock this device after conctract end or not.Iphone is 3 years old.
b.r jernej

Apple cannot unlock iPhones themselves. You must contact the cell carrier to whom the iPhone is locked and ask about their requirements for unlocking and if you qualify arrange the unlocking through the carrier. You will need a valid SIM, either from the original carrier or another carrier, to complete the unlock.

Ipad air will only work with email address and not phone number

Nobody can FaceTime me or message me using my telephone number, they can only do it using my email address, how do I get my phone number to work on ipad air

Do you have an iPhone?
You can only associate a phone number to messages and facetime if you have an iPhone.
The iPhone will associate the number it has to your Apple Id which in turn will make it available to Facetime and Messages on the iPad, assuming it uses the same Apple ID.
If you do have an iPhone, make sure you've activated Facetime and Messages on it so your Apple ID links to your number.

My brother used my Apple ID before I did and now I cant change the phone number on the imessage and can't send SMS...what to do?

As I said in the question...since his number is saved and I don't know how to change it, I can't send any SMS using the carrier. ow do I change it?

If by other music you mean CDs and the like, those were only on your computer to which you last synced the phone. If they weren't there and yu got them onto the phone by manually syncing to another computer you will have to go back to that computer to get hte music again. Apple Store certainly won't have it.

Dear Apple Users. I have my ITunes on a PC and also have an IPAD and IPHONE. When I purchase music on my ITunes its appears on my IPAD when I sync. However it is not appearing on my IPHONE when I sync. Any ideas or thoughts greatfully accepted. S

Check the music tab on the iPhones iTunes page, and make sure "sync all music" is checked. If you chose only to sync certain music, new music will not automatically show up.

HT5622 Due to problems with my original email I changed my apple id email and password months ago. Suddenly it is reverting to my old email. How do I get it to totally forget the original? I have iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro.

Hey 1Jerry,
Thanks for the question. You'll want to delete and re-add your iCloud account (utilizing the new Apple ID address). When prompted, opt to keep as much information on your device as possible. The following article provides information on how to do so:
iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
Turn off iCloud completely
Depending on whether you want to stop using iCloud on all or only some devices, do one or more of the following:
On your iOS device’s Home screen, tap Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Interesting observation. Thanks for sharing.
Did you have a technical support question?

I have an original iPad and downloaded the new operating system. Now' I cannot write on my Contacts or Calendar apps, and my Pages app (purchased) has lost the ability to use the bold, underline, and italics functions. Does anyone know how to fix these

I have an original iPad and downloaded the new operating system. Now, I cannot add to my contacts or calendar apps, and Pages ( which I purchased) is not allowing me to use the bold, underline, and italics functions. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

No, it stays with the current OS (iOS5 in this case) - Apple doesn't allow downgrading iOS
If you are syncing to a desktop, you shoudln't lose anything. If you aren't syncing, then that's the first thing you should do, to protect contacts etc.
the other thing is, when the iPad is connected to iTunes, right-click its name in the Devices list and choose Back Up.
That way, when yoiu do the restore, everything should come back as was.

I have what I think is the original Ipad, and it will no longer send out emails. Is it possible to update it, or am I just stuck with a $500 electronic device that will no longer work the way I need it to. Some of the original apps will no longer work

I have what I think is the original Ipad, and suddenly it will no longer send out emails and some of the apps that worked prior to the newer Ipads coming out will no longer work. Can this be updated, or am I stuck with an expensive electronic device that will no longer serve my needs?

Did you already update to the latest iOS; http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
