Curious why iMessage only works between my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 about 30-40% of the time even when they are in the same room?

I have an iPhone 4 and iPad 2 that seem to only sync iMessage about 30-40 % of the time. Some times I'll come home from work and my conversations are there and then they stop when I'm in the same room. If I start on the pad it works about 70-80% of the time. It is quite annoying seeing I got this silly thing so when home I can leave the phone and work load on the pad. Can anyone help. I'm going to bring up to Apple when I get a chance to go to a store but for now I thought I'd try this. Just in case, my wifi connection in house is also an apple product so this makes even less sense.
Thanks

If the Apple ID is waiting for verification and you haven't received the email with the verification link, you could try going to https://appleid.apple.com/, click on Manage My Account to the right, sign in, under your primary email address click on "verify now", which should resend the verification email.  This is from Apple:
I didn't receive a verification email (within 48 hours).
Sign in with your Apple ID account and resend the notification. Search all of your mail folders for any emails coming from 'apple.com'.
I didn't receive a verification email (more than 48 hours).
You'll need to restart the registration process. You can reuse the same account information.

  • I can't seem to get  my iCloud working between my iPhone and iPad

    My wife and I recently purchased (in This order) an iPad, then 2 iPhones, then a second iPad. My iCloud on my devices is working fine. We are having trouble getting my wife's to work. I checked again, and was sure I had done what I was supposed to do to set hers up. She had her iPhone for a week or so before we got her iPad. We may have registered the phone with one Apple ID, and the pad with another. How can we get the two in sync?

    Hi
    So the problem we are working on is just your wife's iPhone nad iPad right?
    It sounds like you have a pretty good handle on the detailed screens.
    I think the key is to log out of your devices and then sign back in with only ONE ID on each device.
    Let's start with
    1. Settings
    2. Itunes and Apps stores
    3.  Tap on the Apple ID (willlook like your wife's id).
    4.  Tap sign out
    5.  Enter your preferred Apple id and password
    6.  Tap sign in
    7.  Check Settings> iCloud... should be the correct iCloud Id now (and greyed out)
    Do this on each device.....

  • IMessage not working between my iPhone and friend

    I composed an iMessage to a friend. We've texted before so I know iMessage should be working as all previous texts have been in iMessage "blue". Today, in this latest message, I was waiting for the screen to turn blue as I was composing but it never changed. I have an iPhone with IOS5 and my friend has the same. The text was sent in "green" as a text. It never changed to "blue". I had my friend check her settings and her iMessage menu was "on". So I'm wondering why this situation has changed for us. Cost me $.20 with ATT b/c I dropped my 200 msg plan!

    This is absolutely NOT true.
    iMessage works over a data connection. Either WiFi or cellular data. If there is a problem delivering the message for some reason, if one or both of you are out of contact with both WiFi and the cellular data network (if you're in a dead zone for example) or in the case of another problem on the Internet that prevents the message from being delivered, it will automatically fall back and send it as SMS.
    Cancelling the messaging plan was probably not a wise move. Unless you have SMS blocked entirely on your account, which I believe you can do with AT&T smart limits for $4.95 a month, there is no way to completely prevent iMessage from sending (or receiving) an SMS message.  Your only option now is the $20 monthly messaging plan.

    Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply. 
    I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago.  I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam.  I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase. 
    Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions.  Could you please explain? 
    I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items. 

  • Why do some of my apps only work ón my iphone and not ón my iPad ?

    Why do some of my apps only work ón my iphone and not ón my iPad ?

    That should work on the iPad. Basic app troubleshooting from Apples support site. Items 1, 2 & 3 should not apply to your situation, but I posted the link at the end if you want to read them.
    4. Restart the application
    If the issue affects only a single app, try closing just that app:
    Press the Home button to return to the Home screen.
    Double-tap the Home button to display recent apps.
    Tap and hold the affected app until the red minus appears.
    Tap the red minus to quit the app.
    Press the Home button, then restart the app.
    5. Restart your device
    Hold the Sleep/Wake button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the Sleep/Wake button to turn it back on.
    6. Reinstall the affected application
    Remove the application from your device and reinstall it.
    Touch and hold any application icon on the Home Screen until the icons start to wiggle.
    Tap the "x" in the corner of the application you want to delete.
    Tap Delete to remove the application and all of its data from your device.
    Press the Home button.
    Go to the App Store.
    Search for the application and then download it again.
    Note: If it is a paid app, ensure you are using the iTunes account you purchased the app with originally. If it is not, you will be charged for the app again. For more information regarding downloading previously purchased items, see this article.
    7. If the issue is still unresolved
    If you continue to experience the issue, contact the developer of the application for further assistance.

  • HT4783 why can't airdrop work between iOS (iphone) and OSX (Mac Computers)?

    why can't airdrop work between iOS (iphone) and OSX (Mac Computers)?

    NNot sure if anyone help you resolve this or if it works with Mavericks but with Yosemite I couldn't send From iPhone 5 or iPad mini 2 because my Macbook Pro wasn't able to be seen via AirDrop. After a grueling 4 hours with support and factory resets of both devices I was transferred to the CPU Support team, which resolved my issue in about 3 mins. Needless to say I wasn't happy but figured I should help anyone else in the same boat as me. I have both devices operating on iOS 8 and MacBook pro rubbing Yosemite.
    1. Open Finder Window -> Airdrop -> Change setting for "Allow me to be discovered by:" to no one and close the finder window.
    2. Go To Apple Logo -> Force Quit -> Select Finder from App List -> Force Quit.
    3. Open Finder Window -> Airdrop -> Change setting for "Allow me to be discovered by:" to everyone and try to send file from iPad / iPhone to computer.
    This process allowed the computer to be seen / recornized on the iOS deVice. Hope this helps.

  • I just bought OS X Lion and now it says I need to go to the App store and pay even more money to get a newer iPhoto for PhotoStream to work between my iPhone and my computer.  Is this a rip off to make us pay more $ or is thereanotherway to update iPhoto?

    Yes, you’ll need to upgrade to the latest version of iPhoto for $15.  That is the only solution.  You can read here if you wish: http://www.macworld.com/article/160380/2011/06/icloud_what_you_need_to_know.html

  • I wish to use my new ipad regularly as a sat nav in my car. Would I definitely need a cellular ipad for this or would tethering between my iphone and ipad work?

    I wish to use my ipad regularly as a sat nav in my car. Would I definitely need a cellular Ipad or would tethering between my iphone and ipad work just as well ?

    I would suggest that u get the cellular wifi model because it has a built in gps when there is no cellular coverage the gps will still work as it gets it signal directly off the satellite when ur tethering your phone to your iPad on the wifi model only  I'm not too sure if it will work if u have no cellular coverage someone may more info on this subject.

  • I recently had to send my old iPhone back and get a new one. When I did, I simply did a restore and backup with my computer. When I did that, my iMessage between my iPhone and iPad are no synced,

    I recently had to send my old iPhone back and get a new one. When I did, I simply did a restore and backup with my computer. When I did that, my iMessage between my iPhone and iPad are no longer synced. No matter how many times I went to settings, messages and adjusted it, my iPad and iPhone recognize when I send a message out but not when I received a message from another IMessage user to my iPhone. My iPad simply doesn't get those messages. HELP!!!!

    If it's corrupt, generally it would be lost.
    However, there is third-party software out there that can retrieve some of the data, those of which however I could not recommend as I have never done so myself.
    Also, if the old 4S was running a more recent software version than the current 4S, that may cause the issue however usually iTunes tells you exactly that.
    Good luck in retrieving that information.

  • Why doesn't iChat synch between my iPhone and iPad and iMac ?

    I am using iChat on my iMac but the messages won't synch between my iPhone and iPad even though I am signed into my iCloud account on all three devices

    HI,
    It seems that in Messages Beta you could create a "Start Date" if all old messages were removed from the iOS devices.
    It seems no different in Messages.  (I used this Method during the Beta period)
    Others have reported that turning the Phone Off and On again also creates a "Start Point"
    (The two methods are mutually exclusive if you do the above first).

  • My contact info keeps changing between my iPhone and iPad on its on.

    For some reason my contact info changes on its own between my iPhone and iPad.  I can add a new photo and contact info and then
    For some reason I look the next day and the pictures gone and contact info isn't there?

    well the way icloud works besides the back up part of it is if you add a contact on your phone it will go to any other device that has the same apple id on it, Why the info is change im not sure about that but you can try turning off icloud and see if it still happens

    Why can't I update my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1? Every time I try it gets all the way done downloading it; however when it's processing the file the page tells me "There is a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. Network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active. or try again later." and next to the file it has err = -3259. I have tried this 17 times and it won't work. My iTunes is completely up to date. I have made sure that my connection is fine and I have tried turning my firewall off with no avail. This has happened to me before but usually the update will go through after 2-3 tries, never to this extent. I don't know what to do. Help!

    Error -3259 is a network timeout error, usually. This article might help:

  • How do I sync my email between my iPhone and iPad?

    How do I sync my email between my iPhone and iPad?

    A razmee209 said, set up your email in settings on both devices. 
    iPhone email will always be up to date.  
    The iPad will update when it has internet connection.   If it is a wifi only iPad, it will only update when connected to wifi, but will do so automatically.
