TS5185 My IPAD will not send messages to non APPLE users.

Today, Christmas Day, while trying to send a message my IPAD wanted me to turn on iMessage. There was no option not to do this. After it was turned on I could no longer send messages to non Apple users. After reading online that I could set send SMS on my IPHONE I did. Now I guess it send everything as an SMS message. Now my IPAD will not send messages to non Apple users. I guess Apple wants us to pick our friends only if the use Apple products. This is about as stupid as it gets. They want us to only communicate with Apple users. The only other option is to turn the feature off. Why have iMessage in the first place.
So my situation is I can send SMS Messages on my IPHONE. I cannot send any messages to non Apple users on my IPAD and iMessages to my Apple users.
This kind of stupidity is why I switched from Windows to Apple in the first place. Don't they test anything out anymore at Apple?

Please don't take this the wrong way, but I think that you might be doing something wrong.
Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
To use Continuity for SMS and MMS with your iPhone and your Mac, iPad or iPod touch
Your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch need to use iOS 8.1, and your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
Sign in to iMessage on your iPhone, your other iOS devices, and your Mac using the same Apple ID.
On your iPhone:
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address.
Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature.

My iphone 4 will not send and receive text messages at random times

My iphone 4 will not send and receive text messages at random times. My brother has the same phone, lives in the same home and doesn't have this problem. I can't receive messages without my iphone displaying a message asking for my phone number at random times. It happens intermittently. Does anyone know why this happens? I am referring to regula text messages not imessages. I have turned it off and also updated to the most recent software. thanks

I've been an AT&T customer since they were under different names in the 90s and have never heard/seen that. I would check with them. I'd really like to see that error. To get a screenshot on the phone, press the home button and sleep/wake button together quickly and release. You will see the screen flash slightly and hear the camera shutter noise.

My Iphone 4 will not send regular SMS messages. I have tried resetting my phone and by restoring and making sure i have SMS turned on. I receive them but can not send them. imessages work also. Plus my cellular data keeps randomly turning off. any ideas?

Yes I have turned imessage off a number of times and that does not seem to he doing the trick, and it is not delivering them then I have to press on the photo and either chose try again or send as text message, I have had the setting on to not allow sending pictures as texts (so they can only send as imessage) since I got my phone in January and it has always worked until now, I have turned that off to allow me to send them as picture messages now but it's still not working over iMessage, I have also tried it using 3G and not wifi

Phone will not send or receive any text messages

My Samsung Illusion will not send or receive text messages but the calling feature still works. I've tried all of the troubleshooting techniques, including a hard factory reset, yet the messenger still won't work. Any suggestions??

Since update, will not send or receive picture messages unless using imesage

Since the I0S6 update, my phone will not send or receive picture messages unless it's being sent through iMessage.
I know of other people having the same problem, with different versions of the phone and different carriers.
Anyone else?
I have the iPhone 4 with Sprint.
Friend has the iPhone 4s with Verizon.

Check settings/message and make sure MMS is ON. Also chcek that your carrier/your plan allows sending of pictures over MMS

My iPad will not send emails, even though all the settings seem correct. But it receives them OK.

My iPad will not send emails, even though all the settings seem correct.

Patricia,
When you say seem correct, have you checked in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Account name > Outgoing Mail Server, SMTP and the outgoing server name is correct, then > Primary Server name is correct > Host Name, User Name, redo the Password, Use SSL is OFF or ON according to your provider, may just try it both ways, Server Port, often 25 is the best to use.

My phone will not send or receive imessages.

iphone 4s will not send or receive imessages. Some messages were going to ipad but not phone. I turned off ipad messaging. turned off and on imessaging on iphone. backed up phone to itunes and restored it. It seems to accept my apple id. Tried changing the date stuff from suggestion on another discussion. Did hard reboot a few times. Any Ideas?

Go to Settings>Messages> turn iMessage off. The go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. Do a reset on the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, go back into Settings>Messages and turn on iMessage. See if it activates.
Apple has acknowldged an issue with iMessage and is working on an update. Look for that to be released sometime this week.

Thunderbird will not send or receive email in Windows 8.1 unless I re-install it. The next time I open Thunderbird it is again broken. So, I have to repeat the un-install / re-install process. Currently I am using Version 31.0, but this was happening the the previous version as well.

That really sounds like anti virus scanning to me. Try rebooting your machine into safe mode with networking and see if it works correctly then.

Re: Macbook Pro 10.6.8 RAM Upgarde to 8 GB
The amount of RAM is not dependant on the operating system. It is all about the model of you Mac.
10.6.8 is the version of OS X that is installed on your system. It has no real baring on the amount of RAM that CAN be installed.
Personally I have never had good luck with Corsair RAM. I have always had good luck with Crucial and Kingston.

Officejet k 80xi will not send or receive faxes

My officejet k 80xi will not send or receive faxes. It connects to the other fax line but will not send the fax through. I am using 2 wire phone line and it is hooked up exactly as my officejet T 65 was. (and as the directions specify) Does anyone have any idea of what I need to do to make this fax work? I have tried setting it up as a single fax line as well as with a phone on it also. I cannot find any combination that will allow it to work.
Thanks

Hello Musky52,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're receiving an error message stating fax failure using the Officejet 8600 Plus. I will do my best to assist you! Just to verify if the hardware is working on this printer, could you copy a document on your printer? Please let me know on this post if you receive an error message or you're able to copy a document successfully.
Please make sure this printer is plugged into a direct wall, not a surge protector. I just want to see if this makes a difference. I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great day!
I worked on behalf of HP.
