Hi,
Is there an iPhone involved ?
If not, what happens  if you remove the Apple ID on the iPad and then set it in Airplane Mode (allow a couple of minutes at this point) followed by re-adding the Apple ID ?
What, if any error messages are appearing on the Mac when you try to launch the App or Login to the iMessages server ?
Is the Apple ID linked to an iCloud account ?
In Messages 7 (Mountain Lion) this did not seem to be important but it seems it is in Mavericks/Messages 8

    Kolyei, sorry for the late reply.
    Have your brother create a contact in his phone for himself. Inside his own contact, have him add his phone number and his iCloud address.
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive Have your brother select both his phone number and email addresses where he would like to receive iMessages.

  • I want to switch stores from Japan to USA. I used to have an iTunes card, and there's 15 YEN left in my account, how can I get rid of that so I can start purchasing in the US store using my new credit card?

    I want to switch stores from Japan to USA. I used to have an iTunes card, and there's 15 YEN left in my account, how can I get rid of that so I can start purchasing in the US store using my new credit card?

    I can't seem to find an app that costs my available balance. iTunes said I need to spend it ALL before I can change stores. This means I cannot totally change stores.... Hopeless.

  • Is there a way to send text messages on an iPhone instead of iMessages?

    My mom and I both have iPhones. My mom has a data plan while I don't, meaning my iPhone is Wi-Fi only while hers isn't. Whenever my mom tries to send me a text it will only send it as an iMessage text, and not an SMS text. Since my iPhone is Wi-Fi only I can only receive her messages if my phone is connected to Wi-Fi. This problem could easily be fixed if my mom just turns off iMessage in the settings, but she would have to constantly turn her iMessage on and off, just so she can send me a text.This has caused many problems because my mom would send me an important message, only to not have it read by me because I can't get her iMessage text without Wi-Fi. Is there a way for her to send me only SMS texts to my iPhone, even if iMessage is still turned on in her settings?

    I don't think this works. Even if I turn off iMessage on my iPhone, anyone who has iMessage turned on on their phone will automatically send an iMessage text. For example the picture shows what will show up on a device that has iMessage turned on, when they're about to send a message. As you can see there's an "iMessage" sign in the text box. Wether or not iMessage is turned off on my phone, it doesn't matter to the other device which doesn't know that. It's not like turning off iMessage on my phone will automatically send a message to the other phone saying iMessage is turned off, so they can now start sending SMS texts. So basically, turning off iMessage on my phone does absolutely nothing. Sorry if this was a little confusing.

  • After resetting my Airport Extreme, I can't get it to work! Please help!

    Hey everyone!
    I have an airport extreme base station (wireless n-gigabit ethernet) and awhile ago it stopped working on me. I simply reset my aebs and whenever I open airport utility and try and configure my aebs, it tells me I have an error and can't connect to the aebs. I have comcast internet service and my aebs is connected to my router. It's been working successfully for about a couple months and now it's stopped working. : (
    I've tried this both in manual setup and the regular setup. I've gone through the trouble of doing a hard reset (pressing the reset button until it flashes amber), I've unplugged the power while holding the reset button, connecting my laptop with the aebs via ethernet, making sure everything is updated (and it is), resetting the router, and even reinstalled my airport utility disk.
    Please help! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    I also tried setting up my aebs on my neighbor's internet and it worked like a charm! Setting up aebs was as easy as when it first worked. Now if only I can get it to work on my internet...

  • HT4527 There is no import button at the bottom right corner of iTunes 11... please help as this is really frustrating

    I followed the instructions, the account is authorized, I can see the tracks from my iMac on my MacBook, and I can play the songs, search the songs, etc...
    But once the songs are selected, there is no "Import" button at the bottom right of iTunes.
    What do I do from here, in order to transfer tracks from iMac to MacBook?

    Do you see "Home Sharing" on both your iMac and MacBook?  Is Home Sharing all set up?  Have you gone through each one of the ten steps in the "Home Sharing" section of the article you attched?  Are you looking for the "Import" button on your MacBook?

  • I set up a passcode to ensure the security of my iPhone 5 but, when I enter it on the home screen, I repeatedly receive an error message and my phone locks. Is there a way to reset the passcode when I am unable to gain access to my phone?

    I set up a passcode to ensure the security of my iPhone 5 but, when I enter it on the home screen, I repeatedly receive an error message and my phone locks. Is there a way to reset the passcode when I am unable to gain access to my phone?

    I figured that was the case, but I've used the same passcode for years and I can't seem to figure out how I managed to screw it up when I set up my phone. Without being able to access my phone for a restore, how would I accomplish this? iTunes? Thank you very much for you help!

  • Is there any way to delete saved messages from IPhone 4 memory?

    Is there any way to delete saved messages from IPhone 4 memory?

    Firstly you DO NOT have to do a factory reset / wipe device, it is simply not required to get the space back!!
    Mine had 3GB and I just got rid of it all, here is how:
    Make a backup in iTunes
    open iBackupBot (Google it)
    Go to the relevant backup
    Click on Multimedia File Manager and click on the other Multimedia files tab
    Sort by filename by clicking the Filename tab
    Find MediaDomain/Library/SMS/Attachments and highlight all of them, then press delete.  You can also click to export to a folder of your choice, if you want to save them that is. 
    Then go to System Files>MediaDomain>Library>SMS>Attachments
    They will be all listed here, highlight them all and press delete
    Then just restore that backup using iTunes! 
    Tadaa! Space recovered, your messages are still there but without the attachments! 
    P.S You may want to make two backups in case you get any of the above steps wrong, but it is simple to follow the above and not do anything wrong!

  • I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone.

    I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone from this ipad. Everytime I try to send a message to a person that does not have an Apple product ( Iphone or Ipad ) it comes up saying contact is not registered for iMessage and wont send it. I can only send them a message from my iPhone 4 instead. Do I have to install a new App from the App store to send these non iMessage cell users a message?

  • Is there a way to read text messages from the past in a thread that has been ongoing for months?

    Is there a way to view/recover messages from months ago in a thread that has been ongoing? The messages are not deleted. If i just keep "loading new messages" a) it will take all day, I've tried, and b) it freezes on me.

    Try the computer apps PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):
    http://www.ecamm.com/mac/phoneview/
    http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
    Both will allow you to archive your text messages to your computer and read them easily.
