How do I receive texts on ipad from iphone after resetting apple id?

I had to change my apple ID password. I use to get texts from my cell phone number only on the ipad. Now it does not show that as an option - only the email address associated with the apple id. How do I get the cell phone number ONLY option back? What am I missing?

Hello rjrovato,
I understand you are wishing to associate your Phone Number with your Apple ID. The following article outlines how to do so:

How can I receive text messages on my iPhone and iPad ?

How can I receive text messages on my iPhone and iPad?

If you are using the iMessage app on your iPad, you need to use the same email address you use on your iPhone. But, be advised, that when people email your cell number on your iPhone, you will not get the message on your iPad. iPad is not a cell phone. And also know that iMessage on iPad is intended to only let you text with other iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) devices.
If you want to be able to text to anyone from your contacts list (those for example who do not own an iOS device), there are free apps in the App Store, such as TextFree, which you can download. But, TextFree will assign you a number (I know kind of odd since iPad is not a cell phone), which you can then text anyone you want. You'll just need to let your friends know the texts are coming from you.

Ipad texts I am receiving texts on ipad not iPhone why is this

My ipad is receiving texts from my friend.... Why are the texts not going to my iphone4s.. It's a hit annoying as I don't always have ipad with me...

Fromsouth
I wonder if he as all of his "send and receive" email addresses set-up on his iPhone. I got the sense he "never" gets his imessages on his iPhone
If under
1. Settings
2. Imessage
3. Send and receive (cell number, xxx.icloud.com, xxx.me.com, xxx.whatever)
Ih he doesn't add these emails then they won't go to his iPhone.. right?

HT4528 i upgraded from an iphone to a Samsung galaxy and now i am unable to receive text messages now from iphone users.the iphones think that my number is still another iphone and always sends a message as imessage.

Upgraded from iphone to a Samsung and now i am unable to receive text messages from other iphone users unless they disable imessage .
Being my original number was on an iphone is why this is happening .
Please help. Almost everyone has an iphone

You should have turned iMessage off before disabling the phone. Do you still have the phone so you can turn iMessage off? If not, you will need to go to Apple support on their website and delete the product from your profile.

How do you send iMessage to iPad from iphone, I cannot type "@" in message

I have my ipad updated and set it to use my email for the imessage in my iPad
then, I realized that I cannot type "@" in the imessage in iPhone (therefore, cannot type mail address)
how to do send an imessage from iPhone to iPad?
thanks for the help

I am having the same problem. The email addresses for my contacts do not appear on the iPhone, they do appear on the iPad. So if I want to imessage my wife from my iPhone I only get the option to send to her email address, if I do it from my iPad I get her email.
The only way that I have found so far is to go into my Contacts and at the very bottom select Send Message, then I can select her email.
For some reason the @ is missing since when I select the 123 button it gives me the dial keyboard instead of the special characters keyboard.

Can't recieve texts from iphones after resetting iphone 4

I had to reset my iphone 4 (ios 6) over the weekend. Now my phone won't recieve texts from iphones. It does recieve them from other devices. I think it may be an imessage problem since I can't reset that as I'm unable to recieve the necessary text! Any ideas?

i had the same issue. what worked for me, and hopefully for you, is that my iphone friends still had my number listed in their contacts as an iphone. Once they changed it to just mobile i started getting their messages. They also went into their messaging settings and checked the box that says to send a SMS message when imessage is unavailable. i'm not sure if this is a universal setting or if it can be changed per contact. i'm not sure which of the above did the trick, maybe the both in tandem, but i haven't had a problem since. unfortunately, you won't know if there's a problem until you get an angry call from an iphone user whose texts you are "ignoring." i hope this helps

How to recover contacts from Iphone after reset without backup?

Hey guys.
Bad timing, bad luck and an annoying situation. My computer had a meltdown so all my data was wiped. Then my phone was on a continual boot logo with the apple screen. The computer is back, the iphone is back with new software. I have lost everything on the phone when it was reinstalling the software.
Is there a way of getting into the harddrive of the phone, getting the data (Really want contacts) and undeleting them? Hope it is possible but googling has left me with little hope
Cheers
Tom

I thought as much. I won't go into details but the hard drive with backup wasn't looked after by a friend and I haven't had time to buy another one yet. Such is life.
Dont even ask me why didn't I have backup of the hard drive or my head might explode!

Turn on iMessage in settings, then others can send you messages by addressing them to the email address you set in Settings>Messages>Receive At.

Have you tried resetting your iPad? Press on the Home and Power buttons and hold both down until the Silver Apple appears. Once the Home screen displays, try messaging again.

When I trash e-mails I have received on the iPad from Outlook, are the messages also deleted from the Outlook server?al

When I trash e-mails I have received on the iPad from Outlook, are the e-mails also deleted from the Outlook server at the same time?

Hello falconrig,
It sounds like you have some questions about how your email account stores your information. This article has some information about different email account types and how they work:
Mail (Mavericks): About email accounts
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14873
IMAP accounts
With IMAP accounts, incoming and outgoing messages are stored on a mail server until you delete them. When your account connects to the server, it’s synced so that the messages on your Mac are the same as those on the server. You can read and manage messages from any device that you use to access your account, and download messages or attachments to work with when you’re not connected to the Internet.
Microsoft Exchange accounts
These accounts are similar to IMAP accounts, in that messages are stored on a mail server and accessible from different computers and locations. You can use flags in an Exchange account with some limitations.
For an Exchange account to be set up in Mail, the Exchange server must support Exchange Web Services (EWS). Contact your server administrator for more information.
POP accounts
With POP accounts, incoming messages are stored on a mail server and are downloaded to your Mac when you access your account. The messages remain on the server until they’re deleted from the server.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

How do I convert my Voice Memo from iPhone 5s to a text file?

How do I convert my Voice Memo from iPhone 5s to a text file?

If you have Evernote, you could try quicktate. http://www.quicktate.com
I convert voice memos on my Mac using the Dictation feature:
Open TextEdit on a new document
Enable Dictation & Speech enabled the System Preferences.
Press the fn-key twice
Play the voice memo on the iPhone and let the Mac listen to it using the internal microphone with TextEdit open on a new document.
Press the fn-key twice, to finish Dictation. You will only see the transcribed text, when Dictation has finished.

How do I get text to flow from one page to the next in Pages 5?

How do I get text to flow from one page to the next in Pages 5 with the Maverick system?

What may be overlooked in Pages v5 is the notion of combining Text Boxes via the Menu > View > Show Arrange Tools. When you select two Text Boxes, an extra panel unfolds at the bottom of the Arrange Tools window. Uncheck one Text Box and this panel abruptly disappears.
One can achieve text flow effects between Text Boxes differently based on how one positions the Text Box overlap, and choice of effect above. Though not the accustomed flow found in Pages ’09 v4.3, flow does occur. Consider the possibilities of combining a Shape and a Text box to cut an irregular Text box.
If I create two Text Boxes and position them side by side with outline touching and choose Unite, this creates one larger Text Box and text flows across and down. On the otherhand, if I overlap the upper left corner of a lower Text Box over one above and to the left, then choose Union, pasted text fills the first Text Box and then flows across and down into the other box. Here is a Union example:
Intersect will leave a small Text Box where the two overlap, so not much value there. Subtract will cut a chunk out of one Text Box that is the size of the overlapping piece of the second Text Box:
And Intersect will leave an island in the center where the two Text Box overlap, with flow jumping over this bridge.
Clearly, this is not what we were accustomed to in the past, but with imagination, style, and layout tuning, it does offer alternative Text Box creativity and layout. Of course, there is the option of simply returning to the previous Pages version for true Text Box linking that most will want to use.

How do I remove an old ipad from my account

How do I remove an old ipad from my account

Remove it in which way ? You can remove it from being registered to your account via this page : https://supportprofile.apple.com/
If you want to use a different account on the iPad for downloading content then you can tap on the id in Settings > Stores, but any content on the iPad remains tied to the account that downloaded it, so only that account will be able to download updates to its apps. Using iTunes Match, re-downloading past purchases or using automatic downloads may tie the iPad to that account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
