Can I use imessage on an ipad and still get normal sms texts on my android galaxy s4?

I want to purchase an ipad. I plan on using it basically as my phone whenever I am connected to wifi. So I can imessage when I'm connected to wifi..but when I'm driving or working, I will have my galaxy s4 on me as my phone. So if I'm not connected to wifi on the ipad and someone with an idevice imessages me, will it be a normal sms on my android galaxy s4? Or will it be stuck as an imessage on my ipad until I connect it to wifi?

If the person that is that is texting you is using an iPad, the message will be inaccessible until you connect to WiFi. The iOS messages app only works with other iOS devices. The iPhone can send and receive SMS messages from any phone.
You will not be able to text with Android phones using the Messages app on the iPad. You would need to purchase or download a third party texting app for that.

I have iPad, my wife's iPone 4 and my new iPhone 4s all on iOS 5 and using the same Apple account. That is convenient in many ways except I can't use iMessage from my iPad and iPhone to my wife's iPhome. Any solution?

When iMessage is enabled on all 3 devices, they just seem to mirror all iMessage conversations on all of them. Can I configure iMessage for my wife's iPhone such that it becomes a separate entity with that respect while staying on the same Appte account with other our devices?

Actually, there is a solution, and it sounds to go against what you want until you realize how well it works.
Seperate Apple IDs is the solution, but you can granularly sign into different things with different IDs. Now, I'm in the exact same situation as you and saw the exact same problem. Here was our solution:
1) Create new Apple IDs for everyone that didn't already have one. This meant my wife and daughter needed new IDs.
2) Go into Settings -> Message and select "Receive At..."
3) Change the Apple ID in iMessage on a per-device basis to the new ID for who ever owns that device. For example, the new ID for my wife went on her phone, same with my daughter.
Apple IDs are free, and you don't have to change the ID on every part of your phone. For example, we still have the generic family ID on iCloud and the store, but we have our own unique ones signed in on iMessage and Game Center. From what I can tell, this is the best of both worlds.

How can you use iMessage between 3 iPads with 3 different users but only one Apple ID?

how can you use iMessage between 3 iPads with 3 different users but only one Apple ID?

No you do not need separate Apple ID's in order to use 3 devices with one Apple ID. I use 4 devices to Message and FaceTime and all use the same Apple ID. You do need to add additional email addresses for the other devices.
Look at this very informative video for the instructions.

I have a new ipad which needs itunes 10.7 or later to download my music onto it... but my apple laptop is not compatible with this as it is too old... can i use itunes with this ipad and apple laptop?

To use itunes 10.7 you need to have Snow Leopard operating system installed
These are the system requirements
System Requirements:
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
Some features require a compatible internet service provider: fees may apply.
If you can run Snow Leopard you need to purchase it

In most countries with a lot of movies yes you can, just like how iCloud works with apps/music

Can I use iMessage on my ipad but also send texts using my Android?

I currently have an Android phone, so all of my contacts send and receive SMS messages to me. I am planning to purchase an iPad for a long trip, so that I can use iMessage to talk with friends and family that have iPhones, rather than have to use WhatsApp or Viber.
I am concerned that once I send an iMessage to someone it will save my number as an iPhone and if I switch back to SMS during the trip at all, I won't receive any of their messages (I am aware there is an easy fix for this but I'd rather not have to fix it every time I switch between the two).
I was wondering if this would be something to worry about before my purchase.
If anyone has both an iPad and an Android, and uses both to communicate simultaneously any insight would be really helpful.
Thanks!

The iPad cannot use your Android phone number at all so it will not in any way be associated with the device or your Apple ID. You will be using your Apple ID email address as your connect address to use Messages. If you want to look at it this way, your iPad/iMessages will be associated with your Apple account/Apple ID, not with the Android phone number.
Where some users get into problems is if they go from an iPhone number to an Android phone number. That is not what you are doing.

Using iMessage with iPods/iPads and SMS with iPhones

I prefer using SMSs to text other people with iPhones but I still want to use iMessage to chat with people who own an iPad and an iPod. What do I do? I don't want to desactivate iMessage.

The only way I know to do what you want is to disable/enable your iMessage account as needed.
Of course, every time you disable and then re-enable iMessage in message settings, you may have a "pause" while it re-activates your iMessage account.
Out of curiosity, why do you even want to do this? The integration of iMessage is intended to be seemless - if the devices at each end can use, it will be used, but if not a regular SMS is sent. You can force it as you wish, but it will be a pain in the rear to do, if you ask me.

How can I play a video on iPad and still be able to record a voiceover

I know the question is a bit confusing... so here it is:
I am currently working on a brand activation where people watch a World Cup highlight, and then have the chance of recording their own commentary, then it gets posted to facebook and the more likes it gets blah blah blah.
On Chrome on android, we dont see to have a problem, the video plays within the microsite, and users can press the "record a commentary" button and they can record their voices while watching the video.
However, on iOS, as soon as you click the play button, the video plays "out" of the microsite, and it takes over the full screen. Which means there is no way that people can see our microsite while the video is playing, which means that they can not record their commentary.
I am not a developer, nor am I a programmer... so if someone can answer me in plain English why this is... and if there is a fix.
The only catch is that people all over the city will visit this microsite and have the chance to "record a commentary" so suggestions like buy this app or that app and install it on all the ipads that are going to use the microsite... well... thats impossible.
I am thinking out aloud here... but since it works on chrome on android... would it work on chrome for ipad? Currently it doesnt, but maybe my developers need to do something in the backend to make it work.
Any suggestions would be great!

Yes, but just so you know, when you play a song from iTunes Match it is still downloaded to your iPad in the background. If you download it from iTunes Match before playing it you can later swipe over the song title to delete it. If you play it without downloading, it is stored in cache memory and cannot be deleted manually later without restoring your iPad. Instead, these songs are automatically deleted as your iPad begins to run out of memory.

How can I use CS4 on 2 computers and not get locked out

I have CS4 on 1 computer and plan to install it on a 2nd computer. If I send work from computer 1 to computer 2, can I work on it on computer 2 and then return to computer 1 and work on it? In the past I have had trouble getting locked out when I have tried to work on the same webpage on 2 computers. I use IE 7 & 8, firefox, and HX pro. Note, I would not be working on the 2 computers at the same time.
Adobe help has advised me not to try what I've described above, but isn't this what Contribute should be able to do?
Thanks for your help.

You're welcome. '
WiFI and Bluetooth are automatically trurned off when enabling airplane mode - you have to turn them back on to use them.
WiFi and Blue tooth do NOT involve any carrier roaming charges. You may have to pay for lockal WiFi hotspot, but that has nothing to do with your carrier charges.

What do I do when I try to verify a second iCloud email account for iMessage on my iPad and I get an error message, Unable to verify because the email is already in use. Thanks for any answers.

My iMessages that I write on my iPad are not showing up on my other device, the iPhone 4. I went into the settings and tried to add the second cloud email address, however, I keep getting an error message saying that it cannot be verified because the email is already in use. What do I need to do get it working. I have two iCloud email addresses. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Hi,
Just wanted to say I found out the answer. I should have looked first to see if anyone else was having the same problem but I didn't.

Can you use iCloud to sync contacts and still sync google contacts too

Just switched my contacts over to sync using icloud between my imac, iphone and ipad. Im wondering, can I sync the contacts somehow with google also? Would be great to gave everyting together and have web access to contacts on any computer.

I should've just tried it before I asked this question. Once I disconnected my internet completely, I was able to fully see and use my iCloud Documents, etc... They must be stored elsewhere on the computer instead of somewhere obvious like the Documents folder.
I was able to open, edit, etc... and it appears that once you do connect to the internet that the new edits will sync with what's stored on iCloud, and then become accessible to your other devices.
Of course, I then after doing all this, found a similar question which already had answers. Sorry to clutter up the forums.
