How do I set up my ipad to receive text messages?  I cannot locate my iPhone number to select it.

I am unable to set up my ipad to receive text messages from my phone. My phone number does not show up in the settings/iMessage section. Only my email.

Have a look at this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
NOTE: You will still only be able to receive iMessages on the iPad. It does not do SMS at all unless yougo to a third party app.

    How do I set up my iPad to receive text

    You can use the Messages app to send and receive iMessages with other iOS users as well as people who have the Mac OSX iMessages beta. In order to send messages to other types of cell phones, you'd need an app like TextFree.
    To set up iMessage, refer to the relevant section in the manual:

    How can I set up iMessage to ensure the text messages people are sending me arrive both on my computer AND on my iPhone as well?

    Use the same ID in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on both devices and have people use that ID. Your iPhone number would be a good choice.

  • How do I set up my Ipad to receive mail from Verizon?

    I just bought an Ipad 2 with Verizon.  I cannot receive mail through the Ipad, only through Verizon.net.  How can I set it up to get my mail?

    No. You made it sound like you were not able to do it and that is what I was asking, look here for help. This shows you the steps for Verizon email on the iPad.

    If you set up like this it should be fine. Then all you have to do is launch the mail app in order to send and receive email.

  • How to I get my iPad to not receive text messages and apps from my iPhone?

    After doing the new software update on my phone, computer, and Ipad my Ipad has been linked directly to my phone. I have changed all setting so that it wont share of communicate but in the update process all saved data was removed from my IPAD I went back to Itunes and after the update to that all the backed up information was gone and the cloud didnt have any backed up information in it from the issues they had with the cloud in August. How do I get my Ipad to disconnect from my phone that it wont recieve text messages or anything else associated with my phone?

    You are probably going to have to sign out of/turn off Messages on the phone and the iPad and then start all over again and enable messages on the phone first so that the number is accessible again to use on the iPad in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at. You need to be able to select your phone number in there.
    This kb article explains it in detail.

  • How do you know who in contacts can receive text messages on iPad?

    I upgraded my iOS to 5 on my original iPad. Now I have messaging. However, I have no idea who in my 300 contacts have signed up.  Some apps have a way of searching your contacts or Facebook friends to see if they have access to certain games like Words with Friends...  Is there a way to determine who in my list of contacts that I can now send text messages to?  iPad uses apple id (email) and iPhones, use their cellphone, but when I created these contacts, I had no idea if they had an iPhone or later upgraded to one, but kept the same tel #.

    You are right. It's just inconvenient to go through them one at a time. Then a month from now to try to remember which of their email addresses was the one for their apple id or hmmm,.. Was it one of their phone #'s that I sent it to. We need an app!  Remember AIM instant messaging, and you had a list of active participants? We need something like that, because just looking at a phone#, it could be an iPhone or not...

  • How do I make phone vibrate longer for a text message?

    I have an iphone 4s and I am wondering how I can set the vibrate longer for a text message.  I have it turned on.  I have set the vibrate to "Rapid".
    I vibrates long for a phone call, but I want it to vibrate longer than a short burst, which is repeated later, on a text message.
    Can anyone help?

    You can't.

  • How do I stop my macbook from receiving text messages from my iPhone?

    After I updated my macbook to Yosemite, I started receiving text messages on it from my iPhone.  I want to turn this off, how do I do this?

    Hi,
    Temporary.
    You could Disable the account on the Mac.
    You can untick the Receive At option for the iPhone Number as "Alias".
    This will cut the number rather stop them completely.
    More permanent.
    Sign Out button on the Mac version.
    Messages will work but the iMessage account will not have an ID to log in with (it will show but will need the password. you change the ID but entering a new one.
    Permanent.
    Remove the Apple ID for the Settings for the iPhone version.
    iOS 8.1 and Yosemite will also allow or can be set up for Text Forwarding as it is called in the settings on the iPhone.
    Effectively the two become paired  (needs a code number that appears on one to be entered on the other device) rather than just "happening".
    This does allow SMS Messages to also be synced between the two.
    I am not sure you are talking about this though.
    If we have missed what you are after you will have to give more details.

    Close ... before going for a specific Cisco app ... lets find out some details:
    Host we need more details:
    What is your server environment (Windows Server, or Mac OS X Server, or Linux)?
    What security is implemented in your environment - as what is restricted (RDP for all or specifc credentials on all machines? Are you part of local admin group to the server you wish to connect)?
    Does your environment Support CISCO IPSec connection? If so use Settings> VPN and IPSec tab to enter VPN details, if not then go with above suggestion. IF your restricted to RSA then either built in VPN settings or 3rd party app for RSA would suffice.
    Finally, there are many RDP applications out there I use "Mocha RDP Light" (free minimal ads when launched not when connecting).

    How do I set up my iPad so that I can recieve the emails from my Outlook Express account

    Your iPad doesn't receive email from Outlook Express (or any other email client).  It receives email from your email provider.  To set up your email account on your iPad go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap Add Account and add your email provider's account settings with your username and password.  iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, AOL and Hotmail email settings are automatically entered by tapping the appropriate button.  Others must be manually entered by tapping Other.  (Exchange accounts will also require you to enter your email provider's settings.)

  • How can I set up my iPad to print to my Kodak ESP 7250 wifi printer

    How can I set up my iPad to print to my Kodak ESP 7250 wifi printer

    Kodak has a firmware upgrade to allow a version of air printing via a third party service, google docs I think. You can e-mail documents to your printer, or you can set up a hardwired printer as a local print server and send them to that.
    Or you can look into an app. I have that same model of printer and use Print n Share and it works fine...slow but fine. I didn't go for the firmware cloud printing simply because I didn't want yet another online account.
