Seeing Messages on iPhone and iPad

I like how things, via the cloud, are shared. However, I'm having an issue with Messages.
My iPhone is 'registered' with Messages using my cell number.
My iPad and Mountain Lion access Messages with my Apple ID email account.
When someone messages me to my email, I see it everywhere.
However, if someone 'texts' me (from an iPhone...not SMS) to my cell number, the message only shows up on iPhone.
Is there any way to configure things so that a text to my cell (from iPhone user) can be received on iPad or Mountain Lion?
I recently changed iPhone's caller ID from cell number to my email, so presumably anyone responding to my messages will come to my email, thus all three devices, but this wont cover messages where people type in my cell number. Do I have to call everyone and tell them to not use my cell number for texts (that's very 1980s)...is there an easier way?

Right now, that's what you'd have to do. As I understand it, things will change when iOS 6 is released.

    Hi StuNYC,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you're seeing an alert message when opening Mail on your iOS devices. Do you have multiple email accounts setup on the devices? Take a look at the article below, it provides suggestions that will resolve most issues that  cause an alert like that to appear in when starting the Mail app.

  • HT1459 Just bought a new ipod shuffle for my kid and cannot set it up because it does not show up in itunes. Also the charging light does not light up. what could be wrong, as i am able to see both my iphone and ipad on itunes on the same pc?

    Just bought a new 4th gen iPod Shuffle for my kid. Problem is I cannot do the initial set up, as the device does not show up on iTunes on my PC. Also the charging does not light up. Any ideas on what could be wrong, as I am able to see both my iphone and iPad on iTunes using the same PC?

    I also tried manually underlining a few things on the new iPad and when highlighting a paragraph, it would skip a few lines and the line would go through a few as well. Looks like a major iBooks glitch needs to be addressed here.

  • I use Messages on iPhone and iPad. Photos come in on iPhone, but not on iPad.

    I use Messages on iPhone and iPad. Photos appear on iPhone message, but not on iPad message.

    This did help but I had to play with it a little. I had previously turned face time off on her ipad. I had to turn it on and then go in and do Settings>FaceTime>iPhone cellular calls>OFF. Then I was able to turn face time back off and it kept the other settings that I had changed. Thank you!!!!!

  • Link Messaging between IPhone and IPad

    I am trying to link the messaging on my Wifi IPad (Gen3) to receive all of the messages that are sent to my Verizon IPhone. (If send from the IPad all messages/replies show up on both devices because they are linked via Apple ID) This is done through "Receive at", but what email address would I use to represent my phone number? I tried [email protected], and it sent a verification email/text to my phone, but I can't see enough of the message to click on the Confirm. So it is stuck in "Verfying" status on the IPad.
    Thanks for the help!

    Another way to receive texts and emails from other devices is through iCloud which allows you to enter your apple account # or name. You are able to control what is converted from device to device in the settings for iCloud.

  • Storage almost full message on iPhone and iPad

    Hi,
    I searched the forum already and didn't quite find an answer so I thought I would post this (sorry if I missed something and this has already been posted!).
    Background:
    - My wife and I both have the iPhone 4S 16GB and we also have an IPod 2 32GB.
    - My iPhone and our iPad both have the most recent iOS updates
    - My wife and I share an iTunes account
    - We have an iTunes Match subscription and are currently right around the 25,000 song limit. My iPhone and our iPad are the only devices with iTunes Match enabled though
    Problem:
    I recently managed to convince my wife to update to iOS 7 and have all the latest updates as well. It seems that ever since then we've been getting a "Storage almost full" message on all of our devices.
    I restored both of our phones to factory recently so there's literally nothing on them except for a few pictures now and some apps. The iPad has nothing on it except for iCloud pictures and some music.
    The Storage almost full message does go away if we restart the afflicted device.
    Any insight would be appreciated since it's pretty annoying to be constantly restarting our iPhones or iPad!

    Sadly this is a bug that I have been able to relicate on 3 different devices, and that has NOT been fixed by 7.1.2
    To replicate, you need an "oldish" device (iPhone 4 & 4S, iPad 2 & Mini), and an iTunes match subscription with quite a few songs.
    Start from a clean slate:
    - Switch off iTunes match (settings / apps store or music)
    - Kill all apps
    - Reboot
    - Reset (home +power until apple appears)
    Check available space on settings / general / about
    Then:
    - Activate iTunes match
    - Play some non locally stored music
    - Wait
    Yesterday, it took 1h for my iPad mini with 5.3GB available to show the "storage almost full" message and 0 bytes available
    Note that I have tried with a full reset and it does not change anything.
    To solve the problem:
    - Switch off iTunes match
    - Reset
    The memory is now back (but I cannot use iTunes match)

  • Error message on IPhone and IPad indicating user name or password is incorrect.  Information is the same as on my gmail acct on my Mac

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • My macbook pro can see my home wi-fi network but cannot connect to it.  My iphone and ipad are connected to my home wi-fi so the problem is not the modem.

    Wow, I tried to submit this as a problem and the computer lost the wifi connection again, so i lost the whole explanation i typed up. 
    I've turned off computer and modem multiple times.
    When I tried to run the network diagnostic, the macbook pro gave me a "perhaps you are out of range error".  I am sitting next to the modem.
    My iphone and ipad are wonderfully connected to the home wifi network, so it cannot be the modem/router, correct?
    If I am on the same floor as the router/modem then the macbook pro can see my home network but after tyoing in my password and trying to connect i get a "timed out" message.
    If I move down one floor, then the macbook can see and connect to the wifi.  I only have one modem on one floor.
    Is there some sort of diagnostic I can run to see why this particular device (macbook pro) is behaving ths way?  It just seems weird because the computer could connect to the wifi network yesterday while i was sitting next to the router. 

    SOLUTION! 
    I've been suffering from this problem for a few months.  I tried everything suggested by everyone, and then, today, I had a mad idea. 
    I used to work in a room in the house that's about 12 metres away from the router. It's on the next storey up and horizontally about 8 metres away.  The problem started when I began to work in the same room as the router. 
    Today I became so frustrated that for some reason I walked into a room about 8 metres away on the same level - Guess what?  I connected with no problem at all. Feeling full of joy I walked back to the room where the router is located - Dropped internet connection within a few minutes!  Walked back to the the room that's 8 metres away and, hey presto! I have a connection. I now realise that the problem was that I moved too close to the router.
    I can think of no logical explanation for my experience, but empirically it seems to work.  Does anyone have the faintest idea of why this should be the case?  In the absence of an answer I think I may have to start believing in fairies at the bottom of the garden - I'm just off to set a meal for them.
    By the way, I don't know if it has any significance, but the router is a BT Infinity router that has replaced the incredibly unreliable Virgin Media cable connection

  • When I open my computer I receive the following message: The procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint couldnot be located in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll How can this be corrected?  I never got this message before and I have a iPhone and iPad

    When opening Windows 7 I'm receiving the following message The procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll.......I have never rec'd this before............I have a iPhone and iPad...............How can this be corrected without interferring with the information on my computer?    Thanks

    With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
    Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
    Reboot and see if all is well
    In case that your OS is Windows 7 (64 bit)
    1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
    3. Open new windows explorer, to to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
    4. Paste file "SQLite3.dll" to the location.
    5. Reboot your computer, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
    Good Luck

  • I can see home sharing on my iPhone and iPad both running iOS 5 but when it loads the library is empty. Help!!

    The iPad is new today so pleeeease help! I have the latest version of iTunes and both iPhone and iPad are up to date. I have never had a problem with home sharing before 10.5 iTunes. Both mobile devices can eventually see the shared library but load it as though it is empty. This applies to movies as well. I have turned off home sharing on the mac and restarted it. I have also made sure that the username and password on both mobile devices are correct. Help!
    Mac mini ppc running 10.5.8

    This has solved loads of people who have this issue and have used an alternate DNS setting.  Below are instructions for both iPhone OTA and on you Mac
    If you are getting the error message "Unable to check for update" when you try an OTA (over the air update)
    Change DNS Servers
    Settings -> Wi-Fi
    Click the blue arrow on your connected network
    Delete everything in DNS and replace it with 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220
    Try again
    If this works, you will probably want to remove the WiFi network using "Forget This Network" and then reconnect to it to get your original DNS servers back. Alternatively, make a note of the original DNS servers before deleting them and replace it after you are done.
    If you are getting the error message "Unable to check for update" when you try through iTunes
    On your Mac
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Network.
    Select the network connection service you want to use (such as Wi-Fi or Ethernet, unless you named it something else) from the list, and then click Advanced.
    Click DNS, and then click Add at the bottom of the DNS Servers list. Enter the IPv4 address for the DNS server.
    You can use OpenDNS
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    or
    You can Google Public DNS if you want
    8.8.8.8
    8.8.4.4
    I have actually repointed my routers DNS so all my devices now point to OpenDNS servers

  • Unread message count problem with exchange on iPhone and iPad

    Using our ecchange server, the unread message count is different (larger) on the iPhone and iPad than on Apple Mail or Outlook (Mac apps).  We have tried deleting and re-adding mail accounts on iOS, checked server settings, restored iOS devices, but to no avail.  The message count is consistently higher on the iOS devices than on the desktop (or web client).  Any suggestions?

    I am seeing the same thing and I agree with MathiasF's observation.  My count seems to increase when I do a search for mail on the server.  This has happened previously (iOS 5.x) but ending the Mail app always fixed it.  The only way I can correct the count now is if I turn off sync for Mail on the Exchange account and re-enable.  This clears my mail and causes my phone to go out and redownload.  Rebooting and resetting the iPhone has not helped.
    I'm on Sprint - 32GB White iPhone 4S running iOS 6.0 (10A403)

  • Remove my nr from my wife iphone and ipad, under: settings-messages-Account

    ok, the problem is. on my wife`s iphone and ipad can resiv sms from piple i send sms to and i cant resiv them on my iphone. i can see my phone nr is on "settings-messages-send and receive and under Account is my phone nr and my wifs.  hov to rem my nr?

    This is being caused by using the same Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime on both phones.  To separate your messages, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and do one of the following:
    Either uncheck the email address shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at" on both phones; or
    If you want to continue to receive iMessages at this email address, on one of the two phones, tap the Apple ID at the top, sign out, then sign back in using a different Apple ID.
    For FaceTime, on one of the phones go to Settings>FaceTime tap the ID shown, sign out, then either leave it that way or on sign back in using a diffferent ID.
    Good luck!

  • HT4528 My iPhone and iPad will receive .msn e-mails, but I cannot respond to them, getting a message that says "User name or password incorrrect" when the same username and password works on mt MacBook Pro.  What gives?!

    My iPhone (and iPad) will receive .msn e-mails but will not allow me to respond or forward, giving an error message that says the username or password are incorrect for the SMTP, but the same configuration allows me to receive AND send from my MacBook - what can I do to correct this?

    Alright, I'll take a mea culpa on this.  I just recalled the one thing I didn't try which was establishing an application-specific password for the phone:
