  • TS4268 Why i cant use my iMessage in my ipad mini? I use the same id and password in my iphone

    Someone help me with the problem i have. I cant log in into my iMessage in my iPad mini using the same account i am using in my iPhone. I checked the spelling of the password and username they are all correct but still i cant use it on iMessage. Somebody help me. Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Just enter your existing details, don't try creating a new account.

  • How can i receive IMessages on my IPad?

    I have IOS5, and IMessages turned on on my IPAD.  What do I need to do to receive IMessages on my IPad sent to my Apple ID.  Right now it is just going to my email address.  I dont see an option in Settings/Messages to be received in IMessages. I see ads showing people chatting on their ipads with IMessage and cant seem to get it to work.
    Also, when I try to send a message, even when I type in text, the Send button stays grayed out.  Does the receiver need to be on IOS5 also?
    Thanks!

    Yes. Anyone you are trying to use iMessage with has to be running iOS5.  This is due to iMessage being only available in that OS.  You can, however, still use some 3rd party apps to send regular SMS messages from your iPad.  This is especially easy if you simply have a SKYPE account and download that app.  The only downside, however, is that there is a charge for messages sent to non-skype accounts

  • IMessage issues with iPad, none with iPhone?

    Hi
    I just got my wifi iPad 2 today. I already have an iPhone and so do a number of my contacts, so I iMessage with all of them (not regular messaging).
    However when I go to send them an iMessage from my iPad, it says their cell phone number is not registered with iMessage?
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Does iMessage work for ANY of your contacts?   If the answer is yes, then the problem is with these specific people.
    If the answer is No, then simply deactivate then reactivate iMessage on your phone.

  • HT1222 Having a problem with iMessage on my iPad mini.

    Bought my Ipad from the US & presently using it in Nigeria.I'm having a problem with iMessage on my iPad mini, I've been trying to activate it and I've been receiving an error message saying my password is incorrect which I'm pretty sure isn't because I still buy apps on the iTunes Store with it. What can I do?

    Have you looked at some of the 3rd party apps that will do this for you? Some of them are iPodAgent for Windows, copypod, yamipod. Most of them can be found on versiontracker.com, if not try to "google" them. Also, if you have purchased music, you can now import that off your iPod to your new system. Hope this helps.

  • Issues with iMessage on my iPad

    I'm trying to hook up my iPad to iMessage but when I try and when I go to my iPhone > message> text messaging forward and use the slide to connect iMessage to my iPad, I'm told that enter in the code I should receive.  My problem is that the code isn't popping up anywhere that I can find on my iPad so I can't get it to work.  Help?

    Go through the "To Use Continuity for SMS and MMS ..." section here:

  • IMessage in my iPad is not working for pictures

    I can't send pictures through iMessage on my iPad, I can receive pictures. This has been going on for quite some time now. I was able to use iMessage for pictures without a problem before, anyone knows if there's something wrong? I am not sure if this began with the new update? If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it. I took it to apple and they lady said that MMS has to be on which makes sense but the iPad doesn't have MMS well at least mine doesn't.

  • My iMessage on my iPad 4 shows some contacts in red and I can't contact them

    My iMessage on my iPad 4 was acting fine. Then suddenly I was getting a red message. One was an android phone and one was an iPhone that I had been writing to with no problem. I have tried everything that I have read when I have googled this question. Haven't solved the problem. Help!

  • TS4268 I can't activate FaceTime & iMessage on my iPad ... Would this have anything to do with already having these set up on my iPhone with the same apple ID?

    I can't activate FaceTime & iMessage on my iPad ... Would this have anything to do with already having these set up on my iPhone with the same apple ID?

    As long as you're logged into the same AppleID on both devices, this is not a problem.  It's only a problem if you're logged into a different AppleID and then try to associate FaceTime with an email that tied to the other AppleID.

  • Hi All, I am using iphone in UAE and ipad in India usinging same apple id. Earlier I could do imessage  to my Ipad with different name but with  software update,I am unable to do, as signing id for the iphone and ipad is same.How to restore back

    Hi All, I am using iphone in UAE and ipad in India usinging same apple id. Earlier I could do imessage  to my Ipad with different name but with  software update,I am unable to do, as signing id for the iphone and ipad is same.How to restore back

    I believe because you migrated from a Nokia to an iPhone you need to register the Bn phone number with your Apple ID so it can be used for iMessage. The Pn number seems to be the only one registered
    Go here > https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
    Manage your Apple ID and see if that does the trick
    Hope that helps

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • How is iMessage used on iPad and iPhone?

    I have set up iMessage on my iPad and iPhone, but still don't know how it is used.  I tried sending a message, but after entering the contact of the person, send doesn't seem to be highlighted.  What could be the problem?

    From an iPad, iMessage will only work between another iOS device or OS X computer.  So if the recipient does not have an iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch or Mac computer (and must have it set up to use messages) then it will not work.
    On an iPhone, you can still send a message as an SMS to another mobile phone (ie. a mobile phone other than an iPhone) as long as you have the option "Send as SMS" enabled.  If the iPhone detects the "to:" address as registered to another iOS device, it will use Apple's services and send as an iMessage, otherwise it will send as SMS (if possible).
