How can I
someone from my iPhone and iPad if there phone is not an apple product?

The iMessage app on an iPhone can send SMS messages when an iMessage path is not available; on an iPad it cannot, because SMS is an adjunct to the voice telephone system, which the iPad does not use.

  • How can I share photos between my iphone and ipad?

    I want to automatically share photos between my iPhone and iPad.  I use iCloud and I setup Photo Stream but my photos are not moving from one device to the other. My goal is to have all my photos on both devices- automatically. How can I accomplish this?
    Thank you!

    Photos will Not go between iPad & iPhone..they have to go thro' iCloud as a provider or sync via your computer individually...you need Wireless on both or a direct USB connection..
    On each iPad and iPhone you can initialize via the Summary/Photos when they are connected via iTunes..

  • How can I sync magazine purchase between iPhone and ipad?

    Just subscribed to a few magazines on the newsstand via my iPhone but can't see them on the ipad? What's the way out? Thanks.

    Hey Lkr100,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you want to sync calendar events between your iPhone and iPad (3rd gen). I would recommend using iCloud, which you can read about here:
    Apple - iCloud - Your content. On all your devices.

  • How can I play app games for iPhone and iPad on my iMac

    Is it possible to play app-games made for iPhone and iPad on my iMac

    The iPhone and iPad run iOS and the Mac runs OS X.
    Apps written for iOS will not run on Mac.
    Only if the developer has written a version for OS X will it run on the Mac and you would have to buy and install that version of the Mac.

  • How can I export photos from my Iphone and show the filming time

    I tried to export my photos from my iphone, but the times of them are created time and modified time, how can they show the filming time?

    I tried to export my photos from my iphone, but the times of them are created time and modified time, how can they show the filming time?
    How are you trying to view the times of the photos? On a Mac you cannot see the capture date of a photo in the or video in the Finder.  The Finder will always show the date the file was created or modified, and not when the photo has been taken. The capture date, when the iPhone took the photo will be encoded in the EXIF tags of the file, and that is different from the file creation. Photo software will show you the EXIF, the Info panel in iPhoto, or the Info panel in Preview.

    Hello all, I have a firtst gen iPad (running iOS5.1.1). I using my Apple ID to run iMessege on it. Recently, I bought iPhone 5 (2 month ago) running iOS 6.1.3. I sing up to iMessage using Apple ID but start new converstion from my phone number as caller ID. Somehow only 1 conversion syncs between my iPhone and my iPad. Recently it stop. So I start looking for answers. I want to sync my all converstions, I found that I can set phone number as Caller ID on an iPad but I can't found how. I will apreciate if anyone will put some light on how iMessage works.
    I still want that my caller ID will be my phone number cause I don't want to make 2 separte thread on the one who get my message.
    If I set my email as caller ID so when I'll send a text message from my phone it will make a seperate thread converstion from me on the device of the person I send the text to.

  • How do i remove albums from my iphone and ipad?

    I am trying to remove some language teaching albums from my itunes. I do not know how to delete them. Hope someone out there can help me.

    You remove them the same way you got them there, by synching.  In this case, UNsynch them.
    You really should read the manual.

  • Can I use iCloud on my iPhone and iPad only? I have not updated my Mac to Lion.

    I haven't upgraded to Lion for a couple reasons. Can I use iCloud without having Lion on my Mac?
    Thanks!

    Many thanks for your prompt reply. I did indeed check that my ID was the same on both devices but I have just decided to re-enter my Account name and password on my iPhone under Settings/iCloud and this time suddently it created a Photo Stream album on my iPhone under Photos/Albums that did not exist before and I now have 43 identintical pictures on both my iPad and my iPhone so I don't know what magic you have but it worked and all is now well. Many thanks indeed from an admirer in the UK!

  • How can I text photos from iPhone 6 to another smartphone

    How can I text pictures from my iPhone 6 to another kind of smartphone (Android, etc).? I can text photos through iMessage to other iPhone users with no problem. In Settings, my iMessage, Send as SMS and MMS Messaging are all set to `On.'
    Conversely, I don't seem to be able to receive photo texts from another person's non-Apple phone, although I'm told she can send to other iPhones with no problem.

    Do you have cellular data turned on? Do you have MMS enabled on your account through your carrier?
