Cannot enter phone number for text on imessage since ios7 download on ipad2?

greetings,
since the ios7 update i cannot set up imessage with my phone# so i can text message from my ipad2. it does not ask for my phone number.
i have tried:
singing in from the icon on home page first
toggling on off the imessage switch in settings for imessage AND facetime
turning both off for 5 minutes and trying to set up again with the addition of a phone #
reseting the ipad
changing my apple password
nothing has worked
i just text at times,
I appreciate ANY advice. I refuse to Pay apple to tell me how to fix this when it is clearly due to this update.
It all went find on my iphone 5
thanks again for any ideas
I MAY have to call.. i obsess over this stuff

and i am using wifi if course

  • HT5622 I had this pop up: Add (phone number) for Facetime and iMessage. This phone number was associated with AppleID  on iPhone. I havent used it or done anything. What does this mean? Is someone using my ID and do they have my pasword.?

    If it isn't from something you did (like update iOS on an iPhone, or activate a new iPhone), then yes, I would be suspicious.

  • Discontinue imessages apple ID, just use phone number for texts

    discontinue using imessages apple ID, and just use phone number for texts

    You need a carrier SMS plan, make sure it's provision properly.

  • Updating Phone Number for FaceTime and iMessage

    My husband and I both have iPhones, iPads, and I just got a new MacBook Pro. We also share an apple ID. But for some reason I can't seem to get Facetime or iMessage to use my phone number... only my husbands. How do I make the contact number MY number? I already changed it on my Apple ID, but when I open FaceTime, it still only gives me the option to add my husband's number.

    You can add an email address only with FaceTime and iMessage with an iPad and with any Mac or other iOS device besides the iPhone.
    iMessage can be exchanged with any iOS compatible device and with a Mac running OS X 10.7 with the Messages Beta app.

  • How do I change the phone number for iMessage on my iPad with a shared iTunes account

    Any suggestions?

    Hi Lori284,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  You can correct your phone number for FaceTime and iMessage by following this article:
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
    First remove the existing phone number:
    Additional Information
    Unlink a phone number
    To remove a phone number from an Apple ID, sign out of FaceTime and Messages on your iPhone:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    This should remove your phone number from other devices using the same Apple ID with FaceTime and Messages. If the phone number is still available on other devices after you sign out of FaceTime and iMessage on the iPhone, you may need to sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your devices, then sign in to FaceTime and Messages again on devices you want to use.
    Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.
    Then, you can use the top of the article to activate iMessage and FaceTime on the iPhone that uses your correct number.
    Cheers,
    - Ari

  • How do you use your phone number for iMessage?

    I'm having trouble using my phone number for my iMessage and FaceTime, it won't let me click the option.

    Hello Maaaybay,
    You may need to unlink, then re-link your phone number for use with iMessage.

  • How to enter serial number for sale order line  which is in shipped status

    Hi All,
    We have 2 different items which are defined as Serialized at Sale order issue at item definition.
    In one sale order,User has forgot to add serial number to one of the item at Ship confirm stage.
    He has entered serial number correctly to other item.
    Now the both Sale order lines are in Shipped status if we view them through Shipping>transactions.
    I am technical guy and new to OM.Could you please let me know the process to enter the serial number for the item to which user has missed it
    Thanks,
    Satya

    Hi Satya,
    Since the item is already shipped, you cannot enter serial number for this line.
    you have to enter serial numbers after pick confirm only.
    check this note
    How to Enter Serial Numbers in the Shipping Transactions Form [ID 1235403.1]
    As a workaround for the previous lines do RMA and try to receive the goods back to your subinventory.
    For all new transactions follow the above notes.
    Thanks

    The iPad is not capable of sending an SMS message so texts, pictures, etc., must go through iMessage.  The destination device must be registered with the Apple servers by turning on iMessage.  Therefore, the user with the iPhone must enable it for iMessage.

    i have set up an iTouch for my 10 year old son. To set up iMessaging between him and his parents i used my iTunes account but this picked up my phone number..........i now need to change this but cannot see how to do it in Settings. Any suggestions?

    Thanks, but i guess this means i have to create an email address for my son and hs own apple id?
    My aim is to link his mobile number to the iTouch but not to give him his own iTunes account....

  • How can i use my phone number for imessage on my macbook pro?

    I have been trying to sync my iMessages between my iPhone 4s and my macbook pro but it will only use my email. I have been told to change the setting in the message menu but I can't seem to find that! Help me please!!!
    Thank you!

    TRy to check on your imessage setting on your iphone. It should be setting>messages> imessage. If you can see your phone number then your mac will be able to see your message. If not toggle the message on and off. Once activated your mac will ask you if you would like to use your number for imessage, click agree(0r yes) then you will also receive a message on your iphone that your mac started using your phone number for imessage

  • I received a notification on my iphone recently that "Leroys Ipad" is now using my phone number for Imessage. The problem is the Ipad is in possession of my ex girlfriend and we no longer communicate. How do i receive Imessage on my Iphone only?

    I received a notification on my Iphone recently that "Leroys Ipad" is now using my phone number for Imessage. The problem is that i no longer have that Ipad but my ex girlfriend does and we no longer communicate. How do i receive Imessage on MY PHONE ONLY or delete other devices not in my possession from my messages?

    You need to change your Apple ID password.  You could login to Find My iPhone and wipe that iPad if you felt the need to do so.

  • What do I do if my phone wont connect to my phone number for imessage?

    so my phone is acting up and wont let me use my phone number for iMessage! what do i do?!!?!?!??!?!???!??!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

    Try this:
    1. Close iTunes.
    2. Connect your iPhone to your computer and then launch iTunes.
    3. Turn your iPhone off (hold down the power button at the top of the iPhone).
    4. Then, hold down the sleep/wake button and home button together for EXACTLY 10 SECONDS, then release the sleep/wake button.
    5. Continue to hold down the Home button until a message appears in iTunes telling you an iPhone in recover mode has been detected. When you are in DFU mode your iPhone screen will be completely black. Remember that if you see the restore logo, iTunes logo, or any message on the iPhone screen, you are not in DFU mode but standard Recovery Mode.
    6. Hit the OK message that should popup to restore your phone. Restore as "New".

  • Why my phone number for showing up on iMessage

    why my phone number for showing up on iMessage

    Hi,
    Actually that is not true
    The Message Beta app Synced Apple ID iMessages but not iMessages sent to the iPhone Number.
    This effectively made those iPhone to iPhone conversations private.
    It did seem the Mountain Lion advertised that the iPhone Number syncing would happen on release but we had to wait to OS X 10.8.2 and iOS 6
    I dis the Mac OS first and then the iOS devices.
    I got pop up messages to say the Message app on the Mac would be using the iPhone Number (with Accept or Not options)
    I was able to keep my second iPhone Unlinked from the Messages app.
    I know some people are waiting on updating the Mac OS for some non Apple Apps to be updated.
    Others are waiting on the iOS front for something to replace Maps with.
