How do you get messages on my ipad

how do i get messages on my ipad.

Assuming you're talking about iMessages, what you need to do is go to settings>messages>and turn on iMessages.
After doing that, assign the account that it recieves iMessages to with your apple id (the same one you use to sign into these boards).
Now you'll need to be connected to the internet (wifi or 3g) and then begin a message with someone you know has an apple id and is setup to recieve iMessages from it.
You should be all set to use Messages on your iPad.
Hope this helps.

  • How can you get songs off your IPAD if you have it on there two times

    I have the same song on my Ipad two times how can I get them off.

    On the page where you have your songs, on the right hand side of the song, swipe your finger to the right and the delete button will appear.  It only takes a quick swipe.  If you hold your finger in on the song first, it will start playing.

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • How can you get adobe flash for iPad

    Adobe flash for iPad

    Adobe Flash is not supported for the IOS platform. One app, iSwifter, allows you to view some flash content, but not all. Also, it is a paid service (An in-app payment is required.) I do not recommend this as an alternative, but it will work, at times. Hope this answers your question.

    How do you get rid of this error message? I have connected to computer and backed up and still the same.

    try this
    Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings  (or for network connection issues 'reset network settings').
    (no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute).

  • Hi, I have just purchased a ipad mini for my wife and have registered it in my name so that i can add some apps that i think she would appreciate. However if i want to contact her using face time it is registered in my name, how do you get around that?

    Hi I have just purchased an i pad for my wife and have registered it in my name to add some apps prior to giving the i pad to her. However, for using face time and games where you can link via wifi it will look as though there are two of the same, if I am trying to link her ipad to mine. How do you get around this?

  • How do i get rid of the "iPad Not Backed Up" message?

    How do I get rid of the "iPad Not Backed Up" message?  A week ago this happened, I searched for help, I was told to reboot and the message would go away.  It worked...for awhile.  The message is back, but now I cannot even reboot/reset the ipad.  The message blocks me and prevents me from using the "slide to power off".

    I'm not totally sure why the screen locks up like that, but it seems to happen to a number of users. I see that question being asked several time a day.
    My advice would be to backup regularly with iCloud so that the message does not appear. If you are already doing so, I can only assume that it is some low memory bug that is causing it, and that is merely a guess.

  • How do I get messages to go back to an AIM account? It's only seeing the iPad's Facetime email address and not seeing the old AIM account name that is on my desktop. I am using my iMac using iChat to talk to a newer iMac that doesn't have iChat.

    How do I get messages to go back to an AIM account? It's only seeing the iPad's Facetime email address and not seeing the old AIM account name that is on my desktop. I am using my iMac using iChat to talk to a newer iMac that doesn't have iChat. We had this working using Messages and Facetime (on the new machine) talking to my existing iChat account. One day last week, when Facetime rang, my kids answered on the iPad. Dang! Now it's all fouled up! The new iMac won't see my AIM account name and shows that I'm offline, because the iPad is off. We were able to call using "most recent call" in Facetime, but now I can't go and control that new iMac remotely to help with some email concerns the user is having. I'm trying to not personalize this too much, but it's grandkids talking to Grandma and Mom and Dad trying to solve new machine hiccups. Normally, I could just go in via iChat and control the other machine and troubleshoot, but I can't do it with Facetime only. My buddy list doesn't see  the other computer even though we are connected on Facetime right now. My name is not highlighted for the other computer. What could have gone so wrong?
    Any help would be appreciated.
