Cant sent texts from my ipad

can't send texts from my ipad

If you want to use the SMS feature, which allows you to send SMS from your iPad with the iPhone number, for 1st you need to update both devices to iSO 8.1 (as I can see, you have iPad on 7.1.2)
2nd, both devices must be connected to the same apple ID, and on the same wifi network

  • When I send a text from my iPad, it shows that it comes from my email address.  If I then text that same someone from my iPhone it still shows as if its coming from my iPad.  How do I stop this?

    When I send a text from my iPad, it shows that it comes from my email address.  If I then text that same someone from my iPhone it still shows as if its coming from my iPad.  How do I stop this?

    On your iPhone, go to Settings -> Messages -> Receive At -> Caller ID and make sure the phone number is selected - this will cause new messages sent from your iPhone to appear to come from your iPhone phone number.
    (I actually prefer to have my email selected, so that when I message someone from my iPhone and they reply, it goes to both my iPhone and iPad)
    Also, when you send a message from your iPhone, make sure you're not replying within an existing conversation (that was created on your iPad and linked to your email). Just start a new conversation (even if it's to the same person) by going to the Messages app, going back to "Messages" (top left corner) if you're already looking at a conversation, and then clicking the Compose icon in the top right.

  • I'm not able to text from my iPad ?

    Not sure why I can't text from my iPad ?

    2. The receiving party must also be registered with iMessage

  • I'm having trouble texting from my IPAD. Sometimes it looks like its searching and other times I get a red exclamation point.

    I'm having trouble texting from my IPAD 2. Most of the time it looks like its searching or I get a red exclamation point.
    I was only able to send 2 texts. Help!

    iPads cant send regular texts - only through iMessage meaning that the other device will need to have iMessage too.
    If you can't send a text that means the other person does not have iMessage and iMessage is only installed on iOS devices or OSX Lion

    why cant i print from my ipad using airport express but i can print from my mac using the express

    Because your printer has to be Airprint compatible and connected to WiFi. There are applications, such as Printopia, that will allow you to print through your computer.

  • I cant receive text from ppl that have iphone sine i got andriod

    i cant receive text from ppl in my contact that have iphone very frustated

    Follow this article: iOS: Deactivating iMessage - Support - Apple
    If that doesn't work, contact Apple Support who can revoke the iMessage/Facetime certificate from association to your phone number.
    Also:
    1) Go to www.icloud.com and remove the device from Find My iPhone.
    2) Go to appleid.apple.com and change the primary email address of your Apple ID to something different (per Apple ID: Changing your Apple ID).
    3) Also at appleid.apple.com, change the password to your Apple ID (per Apple ID: Changing your password).
    4) Have any iPhone user attempting to send you a text message do the following:
    4a) Verify that in Settings > Messages that if iMessage is turned on to ensure that ‘Send as SMS’ is also turned on.
    4b) Delete the existing message thread, if any.
    4c) Delete your contact and readd, using only the phone number (no email).
    4d) Attempt to send a new text message to you.

  • Can I send a text from my ipad to a droid?

    Can I send a text from my ipad to a droid?

    IF YOU ONLY HAVE WIFI: you can download a texting app (which gives you your own #) and then YES, you can text anyone's cell phone or device as long as they have a phone # as well.
    IF YOU HAVE 3G (INTERNET EVERYWHERE) OR A TEXTING PLAN: YES you can, if you have 3G, then follow the instructions for wifi
    if you have 3g, then you should be able to enter the messaging application on your iPad and send a message to anyone with a valid phone #!
    I hope I was able to help you converse with whoever you are trying to converse with...

  • HT4191 cant transfer notes from mi ipad

    I bougtrh the new ipad mini and i want to sinc my notes but i can`t, i have 2 notes acounts in mi ipad 2 icloud and ipad, i already select notes in icloun on the ipad
    help i cant transfer notes from my ipad 2 to my mac

    Notes, at least in my experience, go into the notes part of my outlook. I sync my calendar and notes to the outlook on my computer.
    You would set that up under the 'info' part of iTunes. You'll see the option when you have your iPad connected to your computer.

  • How do I delete ALL my sent emails from my iPad at once?

    How do I delete ALL my sent emails from my iPad at once? I can do the inbox but not the sent.

    There is no built in way to do this in iOS. If this trick doesn't work for you, then it can't be done.

  • When I send a text from my IPad to an IPhone there is no alert on the phone letting them know they have a text

    When I send a text from my IPad to my wife's IPhone no alert sounds on the phone and is not displayed on the screen.Do I not have some settings right?

    The settings issue would be on your wife's iPhone, assuming the message is being displayed on her phone.

  • How to sent text from my C# WinForm program to another program - where the cursore is

    hi
    how to sent text from my C# WinForm program to another program - where the cursore is
    for example: i have in my program label that contain "ABC" , when i press 'Z'
    the ABC will Appears where the cursore is standing.
    how to do it ?
    what to look for ?
    thanks

    Hi E_Gold,
    You'll need to:
    1) Bring the app to the front
    2) SendKeys to the app
    This code will send "ABC" to MS Word:
    using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    // Send the keys 'ABC' to MS Word:
    SendKeysToApp("word", "ABC");
    private void SendKeysToApp(string appName, string keys)
    if (BringAppToFront(appName))
    SendKeys.Send(keys);
    [DllImport("User32.dll")]
    private static extern void SwitchToThisWindow(IntPtr hWnd, bool fAltTab);
    private bool BringAppToFront(string processName)
    IntPtr hWnd = HWnd(processName);
    if (hWnd != new IntPtr(0))
    SwitchToThisWindow(hWnd, true);
    return true;
    else
    return false;
    private IntPtr HWnd(string processName)
    IntPtr hwnd = new IntPtr(0);
    using (Process process = ProcessGet(processName))
    if (process != null)
    try
    IntPtr h = process.MainWindowHandle;
    hwnd = h;
    catch
    if (hwnd != new IntPtr(0))
    return hwnd;
    return hwnd;
    public Process ProcessGet(string processNameToGet)
    if (processNameToGet == "")
    return null;
    Process[] processes = Process.GetProcesses();
    foreach (Process process in processes)
    if (process.ProcessName.IndexOf(processNameToGet, StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase) != -1)
    return process;
    return null;
    For info on sending special keys such as "Enter", so this page on MS website:
    SendKeys Class
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks, Andy

  • Iphone 5 broke switched to old iphone 4 but cant get texts from other iphone users cant do anything with iphone 5 like i said its wayy broke

    IPhone 5 broke switched to old iPhone 4 but cant receive texts from other iPhone users cant do anything with iPhone 5 screen does not work

    I'm guessing that you turned off the iPhone 5? If so, then are you using the same phone number as the 5? You need to go into Settings>Messages>make sure that iMessage is turned on and activated. Then go the Send & Receive and find out if your current number is checked.

    SMS is a carrier feature. Start by contacting your carrier and making sure your account is properly configured. Even if it was before, sometimes changing phones causes glitches.
