Can call friend on iPhone but not on ipad...

A friend tried calling me on Skype. Both my ipad and iphone are set up. His call came through on the iPhone but not on my ipad. I asked him to hang up, and I then tried calling him on my ipad. I got the usual 'trying to connect' message but he didn't get anything... He was able to call back on the iPhone only....
Help! What's going on?
By the way, I had a 40 minute call with one of my other colleagues on the ipad yesterday...so that was working okay.

sms is short message service it's 100% a cell network thing and 100% not! an Internet thing
iMessage is an IM which when on the internet and sending to an apple device send the msg as an IM (this mean instant message) and when not it send it as an sms
macs can't send sms they not being cell phones so they can only send to the apple users not other used who would require a sms

  • I can print from my iPhone but not from my iPad

    I Can print from my iPhone, but not from my iPad.  The options
    select a printer and number of copies are active.  The print
    button is not active ( hot ).

    Try this  - 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.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

    Are others having the same problems?

    Try this. Worked for me.
    - turn off your router
    - turn off you Mac's after removing all available printers
    - turn off all iDevices
    - do a factory reset of your printer remove all cables min. 30 sec.
    - turn on your router first
    - ran the network set up wizard
    - give your printer also a new name like "DeskJet 2015"
       Something which you don't have used before.
    - turn on your Mac's and add your printer
    - turn on your iDevices at least.
    Should work after these steps.
    It worked for me including all iDevices.
    iOS and Yosemite

    It's a glitch with facebook. All you can do is wait for FB to fix it or find a work around like third party apps that might work better

    using an ipad will use the email address since you can't make a phone call.  see the link.
    Your basically calling/emailing yourself that's why your getting a busy signal.

  • Photos uploaded through icloud control panel are only synced with iphone but not with ipad

    Photos which are uploaded through icloud control panel are only synced with iPhone but not with iPad. Photos taken with iPhone or iPad are synced with all devices. So, why I do not get the uploaded photos from my pc to iPad? I alredy disabled photo stream on all devices - same failure

    If only one device is not getting updated data, you need to troubleshoot that device and not photostream itself.
    Verify that ipad is connected to wifi, charged over 20 percent, camera app is closed and take a photo of the screen (or anything else, but then close that camera app).
    Open photostream folder on that ipad and see if picture shows up. If you network is good, should not take long.
    Don't forget that while your phone can use wifi and cellular (even it suppose to use wifi for photostream, cellular networks got much better since original photostream was implemented) - you ipad is probably wifi only.
    If picture shows up - you ipad and photostream have no problems and you can go to other devices one by one.

  • Full page prints from iPhone but not from iPad using photo app with AirPrint ?

    Full page prints from iPhone but not from iPad using photo app with AirPrint ? iPad only prints 4x6 on full size paper. It's an HP 8600.

    I also have this problem printing photos from an iPad to an Epson WF-2540 printer. It prints only 4x6 and without border (so print starts at extreme top left corner of paper). Borderless printing is not selected on printer. Printing a square photo just crops to 4x6 size.

  • Wirelessly iTunes see my iPhone, but not my iPad

    wirelessly iTunes see my iPhone, but not my iPad???

    You do NOT have to plug the iPad into a power source to sync with WiFi. I sync without plugging my iPad every day. Like Dah-veed, I do not auto sync. If you have all of the settings configured correctly, the iPad does not have to be plugged in to a power source to sync with WiFi.
    The iPad will sync AUTOMATICALLY, if the iPad is plugged into a power source and if iTunes is running on your computer. It does not have to be plugged in to sync manually.
    When is set up to sync wirelessly - I made the selections like Dah-veed indicated above and then I clicked on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes to lock in the setting. You have to apply the changes that you make in the iTunes sync process.
    BTW - I have the original iPad - not the iPad 2.

  • I can message a friend from my iphone but not my ipad. Why?

    Why can I message all contacts on iphone but not all on ipad?

    iMessage on an iPad only works with other iOS Apple devices. But there are some SMS text apps for the iPad.
    To send messages to non-Apple devices, check out the TextFree app https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/text-free-textfree-sms-real/id399355755?mt=8

  • Mime-attachment.ics - can read message on iphone but not on PC

    Someone has replied to an Outlook meeting request with a message that I can read on my iphone but the message doesn't appear on my PC. I assume it has something to do with the format of the message (being mime-attachment.ics) and that my PC doesn't recognise that format but I would like to know how I can fix this. Any help would be much appreciated - thanks!

    If the bubble was green, the message must have gone by SMS. Macs have no direct SMS capability.
    That other person either does not have an Apple iPhone, has chosen not to register the phone number with iMessage, or did not have an internet connection active at the time of your experiments.
    There are services that claim to allow non-SMS devices to send SMS messages. I've never tried any of them, so I don't know how well (or even if) any of them might work.

  • 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!!!!!

  • Calendar entry syncs in to my iPhone but not my iPad

    I have a really strange problem where a few calendar entries do not sync to my my iPad but are in my iPhone.
    They are complex entries (Reoccurring, different time zones, and meeting invite) but they do appear in my iPhone but not iPad. The settings on both devices are identical, and I've tried to delete the calendar DB from the iPad and re-sync. Same problem.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    OK, I've worked out that is it not syncing meeting requests that I have sent....any ideas?

  • All of a sudden I have a website that won't allow me to get into my account. I can on my desk top, but not my ipad.  Any ideas?

    All of a sudden I can't get into My Account on a website.  I can get in on my desktop, but not my ipad?  Any suggestions?

    How far do you get trying to log in?
    1. Will it not let you enter your username and password?
    2. Does it reject your known-valid username and password?
    2.1 Did you notice that it tends to uppercase the first letter of the username (possibly causing a mismatch)?
    2.2 Do you get the generic red "Please enter a correct username and/or password." message or something more specific?
    3. Does it accept them and take you somewhere useless or broken?

  • Can send email from iphone but not from mac.

    Hi. I'm using a mac desktop and the mail app. I can receive email, but not send. I checked my port and id/pswd and still cannot send. After the app tries to send, it says the server is offline.
    I am able to send email fine with my iphone.
    Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

    I've checked this and mail connection doctor says I am connected  - think I am going to have to get someone in to help me as I have spent about 4 hours on this now :-(

  • Emails containing PDF files can be seen as attachments on an iPhone but not my iPad

    When receiving emails with PDF attachments these can be seen as attachments on my iPhone however on my iPad these appear in the body of the email and not as attachments. I have checked that the original emails were sent using HTML.

    If it's a one page PDF then they will tend to show in the body of the body of the email on an iPad. You should still be able to do copy the PDF to another app by pressing and holding the PDF and after a second or two you should get a popup
