How do you continue an iMessage conversation across multiple devices?

I don't understand how to continue a discussion from one device to another. I have the same email address in my iMessage settings on my iPhone and my iPad but I can't see the conversation on my iPad as I would have expected.

Here's a step-by-step, some/all of this you may already have done, just check through it first, then if it's still not working post a reply...
On your iPad, go to Settings app, select Messages. Check that iMessage is turned on.
The 'Receive At' address should be your Apple ID email address. If not, change it to be that.
On your iPhone, also go to Settings, Messages. iMessage should be turned on there too.
For messages to sync, this must be the same email address as your iPad, i.e. your Apple ID email.
In 'Caller ID', set this as the email address, NOT your phone number.
Try sending a message to a friend (who has iMessage enabled) from your iPad, then send a message to them from your iPhone.  (Some users suggest first deleting any previous message threads from this person, other say it won't matter either way. I did delete mine first.)
When anyone with iMessage sends YOU a message, they must choose your email address (your Apple ID one) to send to, not your phone number. (i.e. in Contacts on their iPhone for example, they should add your email address there if they don't already have it entered.) If someone from their iPhone sends you a message to your phone number for example, it will only appear on your phone, not on your iPad.

    If there is also an iPhone with iOS 6 associated with the Apple ID, uncheck the phone number on all but the phone.

  • How do I stop games from syncing across multiple devices?

    Hi there,
    My kids all have their own ipads (super big blessing from a grandparent).  My husband and I each have one as well.  We like to play some of the same games, and sometimes the game progress syncs between our devices.  Eg. We like to play Disney's Frozen Free Fall game, and for some reason, my ipad doesn't sync to my husband's.  When my kids asked for the game on their ipads, however, the games automatically synced to my husband's, so I didn't let them keep it (I didn't want them using all his items/lives).
    My kids all like to play Angry Birds Transformers, and with the latest update to that game, their games are all suddenly connected to each other (they all have the same characters, number of gems, etc.).
    How do these games sync (game center, icloud, etc.)?  Does anyone know how to disable the feature so that our games do not sync across multiple devices?  I would like us to not be sharing the same game progress.  We all share one itunes account.
    Thanks so much!
    (If it helps, I have the ipad2, my kids have ipad mini 2's, and my husband has the ipad air.)

    We all share one itunes account.
    This would  be why the syncing occurs. Until a more knowledgeable person comes   by ...
    You can have one, two or three apple id accounts per idevice. Assign a second apple id to all the kids machines. Same or multiple apple ids. depending on how you want the game to act. Does a family account differ?  delete the game from the current apple id.  Install the game on the new apple id ( or apple ids ).
    Look into family sharing:

  • Having to delete your same iMessage conversations on multiple devices with iCloud enabled

    I have iCloud enabled on my Mac, iPad, and iPhone.  Apple could possibly develop a feature where if one device with iCloud that is turned on deletes a message conversation, it deletes the converstation on your other (turned on) iCloud devices as well.  This way, when you switch from using your iPhone to iPad, you will not have the 10 different converstations you started on your iPhone that were deleted, on your iPad to delete as well.

    I'm sorry I'm not being clear. I know that the sent boxes are separate. What I meant by combined mailboxes was the inboxes for each of the two accounts across all devices. That is, say, for my MobileMe inbox, being able to see all contents of the MobileMe inbox on all my devices, regardless of which device I first read the message on. And then the same for the other mailbox too. And finally, for these to be marked read / unread on a consistent basis and to be notified on the iOS devices too.
    Not too much to ask?!

  • How do you span a jta usertransaction across multiple jms servers?

    I have an ejb that connects to multiple jms servers (non-clustered) and
              retrieves messages. Those messages are concatenated together and placed on
              another jms queue. Is it possible to do all of this inside of one
              transaction? I am having trouble pulling this off.
              

    Sure, you can do this. Assuming you're using WLS JMS, you have to make sure that for all the JMS servers you're talking to, you use a connection factory with the "XA Connection Factory Enabled" flag set. You also need to make sure that you use JTA to start a transaction before retrieving the first message, and commit it after you're done with the final send.

  • Sync Thunderbird across multiple devices

    Can anyone tell me how to sync my Thunderbird email accounts across multiple devices?  I've got this weird situation where incoming emails are showing up on one device but not another, and the contents of the inboxes are different across iMac; Macbook; iPad and iPhone.  I'm using IMAP  but just can't get the inboxes to look the same across each device.  I use this account for work so it's very frustrating.

    I have the same setup here for me any my wife. We each have a separate apple ID used for iCloud (but share one ID for iTunes).
    We each have personal calendars but we also have a shared one (named shared). On icloud.com we have that calendar shared where we can each add/edit the events. And it is shared accross our iPad and iPhones.

    How do you get your imessage to activate on your phone number and not your email

    Okay, you're on a popular network. (Some prepaid providers have issues)
    I'm on 3 Austria, iMessage is working fine here, so you may want to talk to 3 for any tips.
    Have you tested to see if FaceTime is working? If it is, try re-activating iMessage.

  • 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.

  • How do I set up imessage across multiple devices

    I am trying to link my phone mobile number and my apple ID to the same imessage account, so I can text across multiple devices.

    In addition to Amy's comment, set the Caller ID on your phone to the same email address that is associated with your apple ID (and which should be used on iMessage on your other devices).  This way the messages will stay synced across all devices.

  • How do you apply a master page to multiple documents at the same time?

    How do you apply a master page to multiple documents at the same time?

    Hi friends,
    Thank you for trying to help me out.
    Let me explain it a bit to remove the ambiguity.
    I have 10 documents nested under a book. Each of these documents have 'n' number of pages. I want to apply my custom made master page "First" to the first page of all these 10 documents in one go. The remaining pages of the documents have to be in default "Right" master page format. How will I do it?
    I tried selecting all the documents and importing the formats from another document with the custom made "First" master page. The master page format is getting imported but the first page of all the documents still remain with the default "Right" master page format.
    I think now my question is more clear...

  • How to execute sql scripts from Powershell across multiple databases

    Re: How to execute sql scripts from Powershell across multiple databases
    I have an tsql script that I want to run across a list of databases. How is the best way to do this in Powershell? Thanks.

    My example below, using just the SMO and not breaking up the batches, the ExecuteWithResults give the following error when the .sql file contains a GO. My script files are as simple as a DECLARE and then a GO.
