How do I send am iMessage to a friend that has an iPad device? She is in my contacts but when I enter her name it won't work. (*note she has no other apple devices.)

Has she registered her e-mail address and/or phone number with iMessage? Are you using the same one that she registered?
She should open Settings > iMessage and make sure that it's set up.

How can i send an imessage to a person i dont know his phone number but know his email he uses for imessage ?

how can i send an imessage to a person i dont know his phone number but know his email he uses for imessage ?

Add a contact with his e-mail address, and send a message to that contact. I would say integrate, but not 100% that it works. A new contact would work.

If I am connected to Wifi and send an iMessage to a party that is not connected to the Internet then he doesn't receive the message. How do I force my iPhone to send an SMS instead?

If I am connected to Wifi and send an iMessage to a party that is not connected to the Internet then he doesn't receive the message. How do I force my iPhone to send an SMS instead?

It is an interesting option but I am not sure how it works. I disconnected the other party Wifi and 3G on the iPhone, iPad and computer. I sent the iMessage 15 minutes ago and it doesn't give the small foot print "delivered" but equally said I didn't get the RED exclamation mark on the right hand side of the message in BLUE. So we know that the message was sent but not delivered. I don't seem to have the option of sending by SMS when I tap on the BLUE message and hold.

How can I send "new" iMessages to apple users?

I am unable to send new iMessages but I can send iMessages from previous threads. How can I send new iMessages to other apple users?

Just click the button in the top right corner that looks like a pencil on a piece of paper make sure you are at the main I message screen were all the threads are listed.
If that's not the issue you can try:
1.hold the home and power button for 10-11 seconds
2. When the slide to power off comes up ignore that and keep holding home and power
3. The screen will go black and you will see an apple logo that's when you can let go of the home and power button
4. The. iPhone will come back on and you can try sending a message
If it still does not work
1. Go to settings> General> Reset> select "Reset All Settings" this will not erase any data on the device it will only reset the settings
2. After that try to send a message again
If that does not work you can try this
1. Plug your iPhone into iTunes and click your iPhone in iTunes
2. Then press backup iPhone
3. Then restore your iPhone this will erase everything and reinstall the operating system
4. Try to send a message and see if it sends
5. Then go back into iTunes and select restore from backup and select the backup you made earlier this will put all the data back on the device all apps will need to be re downloaded but app data will still be on the device. Pictures and messages. Will also be their.
If that did not solve your issue I would then go into the apple retail store

How do you send a imessage to ipad from iphone

How do you send a imessage to ipad from iphone

The iPad must have iMessage registered and enabled, and you need to address the iMessage to an email address that is set up and selected to be used with iMessage on the iPad. If the iPad owner also has an iPhone, an iMessage can be addressed to the iPhone's cell phone number if the iPad owner has their iPhone number selected to be reached at with iMessage on the iPad.

Using iMessage 8.0 with Mavericks to send sms message to my friend who has an iPhone. Only allows me to log in under AIM, YAHOO, GOOGLE, or BONJOUR. I don't want to do any of that. Just my phone number. Is this possible?

Hi,
The first run of Messages will ask you to enter an Apple ID to "register' with iMessages.
If you do not do this but open the App and look in Preferences > Accounts then you will see the iMessages account and the Bonjour Account which will not be activated.
Neither of these two account can be deleted. (even if not being used)
If you then press the + icon to add you will get the choices you posted.
To iMessage you need to "register" and Apple ID with the iMessages service.
As Diane then points out you can link this to your iPhone number.
This "syncs" (Displays on all devices) the various iMessages sent to either iPhone or Apple ID
You can then chose on both iPhone or Mac version how or which ID/Number is going to be used to "Start the conversations from"
I have my Mac version set to start from my Apple ID and the iPhone from it's number.
At this moment the Mac version cannot send SMS text messages to an iPhone.
This is apparently coming with iOS 8 and OS 10.10 (Yosemite)
An AIM account can send SMS Messages but only to a limited number of USA based phone users on these carriers.
(Basically you add a phone number with country code +1 as a Buddy to your List)
Mocked up number (It not really an auto responder although you do get sent back and Error message about it not being valid)

How do I send a text to a group that I have in contacts?

How do I send a text to a group that I have already in contacts?

It sounds like your spouse's phone number got attached to your family's Apple ID. Your boys are signed in under Settings>Messages and probably Settings>FaceTime on their devices. There are a few ways to fix this:
1.) If your boys have their own Apple ID(s), just go into Settings>Messages on each of their devices, sign out of your Apple ID, then sign into their Apple ID. You can create a new Apple ID for each of them (as long as they are 13 or older) straight from the device or by going to https://appleid.apple.com
2.) Instead of using separate IDs, you can add an email address for each of the boys to your spouse's current Apple ID that they use to send/receive their own iMessages. From your spouse or boys' device(s), access Settings>Messages>Send & Receive>Add Another Email... Once you have added any email(s) needed, you can then access the Settings>Messages>Send&Receive menu from each of your boys' devices. The address you added for each boy should be the only thing checked under "You can be reached by iMessage at:" and "Start new conversations from." If either or both of your boys have iPhones, they may also have their phone # checked under each section. That's fine, as the main idea is to make sure that none of you or your spouse's info is selected in these screens.
3.) Simplest of all: if your boys don't need to use iMessage, you can just logout from the Apple ID in Settings>Messages and turn off iMessage. If they have iPhones, your boys will still be able to send/receive SMS and MMS messages thru their carrier plan, but will not use iMessage at all. Alternately, if they do have iPhones, you could just sign out of the ID, and leave iMessage on, which would allow them to send/receive iMessages and SMS/MMS thru just their phone numbers.
I would also recommend taking a look at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755 for assistance in troubleshooting Messages and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538 for an overview of the linking of cell numbers to iMessage.

How can i send an ibook to a friend?

How can I send an iBook to a friend?

The only way to share iBooks that you have purchased is via Family Sharing, which is not what I think you are aiming for:
Family Sharing - Apple Support
You can "Gift" a book by going to the iBooks store, selecting the book, and in the dropdown next to the price, you can select to Gift it to someone.
To the best of my knowledge, these are the only two options.
Cheers,

How do I send an app to a friend. I can't seem to locate send as gift app option

Currently the Mac App Store does not offer the ability to gift and app.
You can send someone who lives in the same country as you do and uses that country's Mac App Store an iTunes Gift Card* or an iTunes Electronic Gift Certificate* to cover the cost of the app you wish to give to them.
*If available in that country.

TS3276 how do you send file attachments (Particularly jpegs) so that receiver gets as a file not as an open embedded photograph

how do you send file attachments (Particularly jpegs) so that receiver gets as a file not as an open embedded photograph?

This sends the attachment as an icon, not embedded inline. Copy/Paste into Terminal in Utilities and hit return.
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing 1
To reverse the setting, change the 1 to a 0.
But how it will be viewed will all depend on the e-mail client and settings of the recipient. Not under your control.
