Can't send iMessage to iPhone number from iPad (WiFi)
Hi
I've got a WiFi only iPad 3. iOS 6.1.3. I can send a iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone number but if I try to send an iMessage to a known iPhone phone number iMessage says that the number isn't registered. Yet I know it is as it's sitting infornt of me! Any suggestions? Thanks.

Can't send text to some friends from iPad but can respond to theirs
I have texted a couple of friends to their iPads in the past and now messages will not deliver. I am able to respond to their messages, just not generate new ones. Do not have this problem with anyone else. What's the problem? Can anyone please help me?
Your friends must not have an Apple iOS device.

Restore iMessages after iPhone crash from iPad
Can I restore my iMessages from my iPad to my iPhone?
My iPhone crashed during the latest operating system update and I had to restore my phone to my last back up, which was unfortunately 2 months ago.
My iMessages are synced between my iPad and iPhone so all my messages are still on my iPad. Any recommendations on how I can bring those messages from my iPad to my iPhone?Welcome to the forums!
Your backups are stored here:
On a Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
On Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
On Windows Vista: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Your itunes library is located here:
Microsoft Windows
\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl
\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music Library.xml
Replace the files on your new computer with the backups you recovered. Place your iphone backup in the proper location.
Authorize your new computer, store>authorize this computer.
Disable auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected in itunes under preferences.
Make sure you have at least one contact and one calendar event in what ever program you use for that purpose on your pc.
You need to transfer any photos on your phone to your new pc before you sync.
When you connect your phone, select restore from backup & select the backup you placed on your computer. Make sure you have at least one contact and one calendar event in whatever programs on your pc you use for that purpose. At the prompt, when you sync, select merge data. -
I can't start a conversation in iMessage with iPhone users (from iPad mini)
I can start a conversation with my friend that use iPad 2, but I cannot start a conversation with all iPhone users (I put their phone number). It says that the number that I inputted is not connected with the iMessage. So, I just cannot start a conversation unless they start the conversation first (they text me first by iMessage), then I can reply their message. Is there anything I do to solve this problem?
iMessage works with multipple emails and phone numbers.
If you dont have the correct iMessage ID (can be a phonenumber or email address) in your address boook you cant start the conversation.
When you create a new messeage and enter the recipient name you should see a blue bubble for the correct iMessage address.
If you dont see it check on your friends iPhone under Settings - Message - send recieve what address he is using for iMessage.
Sometimes it takes a few minutes until changes get registered at the apple servers -
So how can u send iMessages to people if my iPad is already updated which I really only wanted to update my iPad since I don't want to really mess up my iPhone 4? Or can u still send iMessages from the iPad to my iPhone possibly?

Can't send imessage to someone who has switched from android to iphone, but kept the same number
One thing you can try
Turn iMessage off on your phone
Reset your phone - no data loss
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Then activate iMessage and start a new conversation and see what happens -

ACTIVATING FACETIME AND IMESSAGES
Activating Facetime and Imessages on your phone requires the ability to send SMS messages and depending upon where you are that might be an international SMS. Check with your carrier to see if your plan supports sending of international SMS messages. If you are having trouble activating Facetime or Imessages turn them both off on your device and reset the device (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost)). Wait for the device to restart and wait a minute and turn Facetime and imessage back on and wait for activation. If that does not fix things read the following articles:

Contact can only send iMessage to my email, not my phone number
Since Apple released iMessage my friend and I have been iMessaging. As of yesterday, I can still send my friend iMessages as usual, but she can only send iMessages to my email (I have "Receive at" set to my phone number and email, Caller ID set to my phone number). If she tries to send an iMessage to my phone number, as she did before, it will only send as a Text. All of my other iPhone contacts can still send iMessages to my phone number. We've each tried rebooting and switching iMessage on and off (we both have iPhone 4, IOS 5.1.1) without any luck. I realise that iMessage is still technically working with her sending to my email, but we just don't understand why sending to my phone number has suddenly stopped working. Grateful for any suggestions.
It sounds like something has changed on her end...
Is she sure she has iMessage turned On? Because that scenario usually occurs when you get an email text from a regular cell phone, i.e. iMessage may be Off on their end. -
Can you send iMessages from one iPad to another? If so how can I do this? Thanks
I have just got a new iPad and I'm wondering if you can send iMessages from one iPad to another? We are currently trying this out and can only send iMessages from an iPad to an iPhone is this correct? Thanks
You can use the Messages app to send messages to any iOS device or to a Mac running Mountain Lion. So yes you can send a message to another iPad.
Both iPads have to have Messages set up and you need to contact the other iPad using an email addresses as the "you can be reached at" email address.
Do you have it set up correctly on both iPads?

I can't send or receive text messages from non iphone users
I can't send or receive text messages from non iphone users
Under Settings - Messages, do it state Sens SMS ON? Should be (this applies to imessage but just in case).
Same area, MMS Messaging is on? Should be.
If all else fails, go into Settings General Reset - Reset Network Settings (this will lose WiFi info but fixes a lot of messaging errors). -

How can I send iMessage rather than sms by iPhone?
In my contact, I have his phone no. and email address(where also is apple ID, used in Ipod),
When I send a message in Message, it automatically send by sms (to his phone, not ipod)
How can I ensure the message is sent to ipod by imessage, not to the phone ???Re: theMAIR,
Oh....it would be a diificult for me to send iMessage to my friend's ipod......(as he does not own iphone....)
Problems for iMessage in iPhone4 which I found:
1. Cannot choose to send iMessage or SMS
2. If there has a person who only have email information(Apple ID) in contact, you cannot choose this person to send iMessage
However, if Ipod send iMessage to iPhone, then iPhone can reply it.............
p.s. I hope there will be an option to turn off SMS =] (as iMessage is free of charge)
