How do I send a text from my iphone to an email address and have it be an imessage?

I am trying to send a text message to my husband's ipad from my iphone via his email address.  He receives the text in his email and not as an imessage.  How can I change this so he receives it as an imessage. Our apple user id is my email address. 

If you want your husband to receive an iMessage, you must send it to him as an iMessage yourself. Just go into the Messages app and send it to your husband's Apple ID. All e-mails (except me.com, as it is part of iCloud/iMessages) don't actually work with Messages.
Alternatively, you could download free, wi-fi based messenger apps on your iDevices. Popular ones include WhatsApp, but there should be more that suit your preferences.

    Try restarting your iPhone by holding down the on/off and the home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo.

    Yes. On your phone make sure it is set to send messages from your phone number, not your apple id or other email address. That way when they reply it will go to your phone.

  • How do I sync my music from my iphone to my mac when I have created a itunes library on my old computer?

    How do I sync my music from my iphone to my mac when I have created a itunes library on my old Hewitt packard computer?
    Thought by connecting my phone to computer it would automatically duplicate. Only seems to work with a small amount of music which I downloaded through my mac
    Im no expert with computers so need some step by step advice
    I have over 1000 songs on my iphone and want to back it up on my mac itunes
    Want to upgrade my iphone and dont want to loose my music and ideally want to import it onto my new iphone
    Need help?

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss.  To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.

    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • HT204150 im not sure why only a few of my contacts have been synced and not everyone? How do i sync all contacts from my iphone to my ipad? I have synced my phone with Itunes on my laptop.

    im not sure why only a few of my contacts have been synced and not everyone? How do i sync all contacts from my iphone to my ipad? I have synced my phone with Itunes on my laptop.

    It's a good idea to backup your Mac Address Book application and iCal Calendars application from each application. This way you can go back and pull out items if you lose something. I do this everyday.

  • HT3576 how to assigne a unique sound to a single incoming e mail address and have it aleart when in lock screen 4s Iphone 6.13

    how to assign a unique sound to a single incoming e mail address and have it alert when in lock screen on 4s Iphone 6.1.3
    I receive emergency requests for service thru e mails. my old BB let you assign separate sounds for incoming e mail addresses. can I duplicate that with Iphone or MUST I be woken with each and every incoming e mail?

    I have email messages alert sounds turned off except for VIP addresses (of which I have only one). That means I only get alerted for that one address.
    To add a Contacts entry to VIP senders in iPhone Mail:
    Open your list of mailboxes in iPhone Mail.
    Tap the > button next to VIP.
    Select Add VIP… at the list's end.
    Tap the desired entry from your contacts.
    Then, in Notifications>Mail, turn off the souds for your email account but enable them for VIP.
    Note that all VIP emails will have the same tone. It's more like the Priority feature on a BB than custom text tones.
    Best of luck.

  • How do I stop the texts from other iPhone users trying to reach the person who has my old phone number?

    I no longer have cell phone service but I still use my iphone every day for apps and imessage. Now someone has my old phone number. It seems that this person does not have a iphone. Everytime one of their friends with an iphone tries to text them the message goes to my iphone. I have tried many things to stop this. I took my old phone number off my apple account and I took out my old sim card. But I still am getting texts from other iphones attempting to reach whom ever has my old phone number. HELP please. This person is very popular, at first it was funny now its annoying. I'm sure the person with my old number is even more upset than I since they are actully paying for service.

    Hello there, lalaysa.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great recommendations for unlinking your old phone number from your device:
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
    Unlink a phone number
    To remove a phone number from an Apple ID, sign out of FaceTime and Messages on your iPhone:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    This should remove your phone number from other devices using the same Apple ID with FaceTime and Messages. If the phone number is still available on other devices after you sign out of FaceTime and iMessage on the iPhone, you may need to sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your devices, then sign in to FaceTime and Messages again on devices you want to use.
    Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

    how can i send multiple sms from my i phone 4

    Turn Group Messaging (instructions in lin that follows) off and send the message to multiple recipients. The result may be dependent on your carrier. If manually keying in numbers rather than using contacts, use the return key after each number. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5760

  • HT1766 How do I retrieve deleted texts from my iphone

    I accidentally deleted a text from my iphone on July 11th. I need to retrieve that message, and I have no back up of it. Thanks!

    With no backup, you'll have to use Google & search for one of the many paid programs that "claim" to be able to retrieve deleted SMS's from an iPhone.
    Whether any work or not, I have no idea.

    I need to forward a text from my iPhone 4s to my email so I can print it as it is an official email that I cannot lose but when I tap "more" and it gives me the "arrrow" to "forward", it will only forward it back as a text in my message folder, even if I type in my email address manually.  Can someone please tell me how to do this as I need this because of losing everything in Hurricane Sandy?  Thank you!

    Thank you so much.  I need to print it out showing the person's name that sent it to me & that doesn't show when I copy or forward.  Sorry to be such a pest!
