How can I make iMessage to work in iPad 2, iOS 5?

Whenever I determine a contact to send a message it turns red and I get the message "("whatever the phone nomber is") is not registered with iMessage" and the "send" button is blocked. How can I fix this please?

What format is the number you are trying to use? Have you tried the format +1xxxyyyzzzz, if you are  in North America?
iMessage on iPad cannot send messages to anyone who is not running iOS 5. Sending to a phone number requires iOS 5 on an iPhone.

  • How do I get Imessages to work on Ipad 2 IOS 7

    My Ipad messages now only shows a blank screen then sends me back to my home screen where my wallpaper turns black except for around my dock. I stuck on how to fix it! Any suggestions?

    Hey there Hawkmoon,
    It sounds like your messages app is closing unexpectedly causing other unexpected behaviour.
    I want to recommend first closing all the apps that are open on the phone.
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that, sign out of your Apple ID account in Settings > Messages > iMessage, and restart the phone and test again.
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

    If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:

    Apple doesn't have anything to do with this other than enforcing the DRM protection. The developers of this content expect to be paid if someone wants to use their content. When you purchase content in the app store, you purchase a license to use the content. This license does not permit you or anyone else to resell or give this content away. The individual you purchased the phone from simply does not have the right to sell or give away any purchased content on the phone. You were deceived.

    My Iphone 3gs wont charge, turn on, or restore itself in Itunes, but the apple logo still appears when I hold the sleep botton.  How can I make my Iphone work????  I know it is not dead because I can see the apple logo on, and every time I connect it to a USB port to charge, or a wall charger, the battery appears with a bit of red. Still, it wont turn on.  It's been like this for three days now and I haven't stopped charging it.  IT just WONT charge?  Any tips I can use to solve the issue?

    Hello estebie67,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like the iPhone is experiencing issues upon startup, and may not be loading the firmware or operating system correctly. If you have not already done so, try resetting the iPhone while connected to power:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If the above does not resolve your issue, it will be best to restore the iPhone in recovery mode:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • I bought an Apple Airport and the light is flashing a yellow light! I did this because I live in a basement and the modem is in the first floor. I followed the instruction manual and the Airport is not working still. how can I make my Airport work?

    How can I make the Airport work?

    If there is a modem and not a router on the first floor, then the only possible way to get it to work would be an Ethernet cable connection between the modem and the AirPort Express device.
    I think you need to describe your situation in more detail.

    Hi,
    Is there an iPhone involved ?
    If not, what happens  if you remove the Apple ID on the iPad and then set it in Airplane Mode (allow a couple of minutes at this point) followed by re-adding the Apple ID ?
    What, if any error messages are appearing on the Mac when you try to launch the App or Login to the iMessages server ?
    Is the Apple ID linked to an iCloud account ?
    In Messages 7 (Mountain Lion) this did not seem to be important but it seems it is in Mavericks/Messages 8

  • HT4914 If my phone's memory is full, mostly due to music, how can I make it to where my IPad holds all the music and remove all of it from my phone without losing any of it??

    If my phone's memory is full, mostly due to music, how can I make it to where my IPad holds all the music and remove all of it from my phone without losing any of it? I recently got an iPad so I now use that as my main source as opposed to my Dell. Yes, I have a Dell that failed me. Miserably.

    Sync your music from your computer to your iPad.  Then delete the music from your iPhone.

    You can try downloading them as explained here:http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.  (This is not available in all countries, and must be permitted by the movie studio.)
    Otherwise, sync them to your iPad by selecting them on the Movies tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    Also see:
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • How can I make my Aperture work under Yosemite

    Installed Yosemite and now cannot use Aperture and getting the message that it cannot link the app to a user ID. But...I actually bought the app instore and have disc and serial number. So how can I link these two items and be able to use my app?? Any help appreciated. Used Support chat, and re-installed using discs but to no avail...so their help did not work unfortunately.

    Installed Yosemite and now cannot use Aperture
    Did you skip the Upgrade to Mavericks and Aperture 3.5.1? Then contact the AppStore Support. There is a link to contact the AppStore in the "Quick Links" on the main AppStore page.  Ask for a redeem code to be able to download Aperture 3.6 from the AppStore.
    Only the Support Team can solve issues with the Apple ID. You will probably need to provide a Proof of Purchase, see this link for what constitutes a proof of purchase:  Pro Application Replacement Serial Numbers
