How does iMessage work on ipad

I can understand how it works on the iPhone but what about the iPad? How do people send messages to me as there is no number connected with the iPad is there?

It will work on you apple I'd, not your phone number. Similar to the way RIM do it on a blackberry, with a unique pin, not number.

Does iMessage work from iPad to iPad

I have managed to get the iMessage to send to iPhones but I can't get it to work sending to another iPad. Anyone know if there are problems with this or it's just me?

Hi rahunt15,
iMessage only works if sending to an @me.com address on the iPad. I recommend setting up a MobileMe account to start sending iMessages on the iPad / iPhone / iPod. The person you are sending messages to will also need to have a MobileMe account.
Thanks

I am still learning and understand features related to my iPhone 5th Gen. as well as the software iMessage for the Mac. Im curious to know, if I am sending someone an iMessge and they are long distance ( in my case germany to america) does it cost me anything extra. I have a flat rate plan with vodaphone, and use WiFi in my home.

How does iMessage work on the iTouch abroad?

I'm traveling to Taiwan this summer and I'm planning to take my iTouch to keep in contact with my friends. As long as I had a wifi connection, would the iTouch be able to send messages to my friends without incurring huge costs? What things do I need to keep in mind when doing this?

Their iMessage email address
That they have to be connected to WIFI too
Have fun

How does iMessage work outside of the United States

I'm going to be in Canada and I have an iphone 4 through verizon with unlimited data and texting. Will i be able to use iMessage in Canada without being charged any fee for being out of the US? If so what do i need to do?

If you will not have Wi-Fi where you are staying, then you would have to set up international roaming with Verizon, and yes, it will cost more.

WiFi will work, cellular will work but they may not be able to access LTE, they will have to send it back to you for the warranty work.

What is "Assisted GPS" on the iPad and how does it work?

What is "Assisted GPS" on the iPad and how does it work?

I purchased the iPad mini Wi-Fi & Cell because it has GPS. OK, it is assisted GPS but the GPS works very well as stand alone. I got the iPad mini for use in flight, so I dont even have a sim card in it. The GPS works perfectly in flight under all conditions. I have cross checked it against typical approved aircraft installations and it is very accurate at all times. I use it in Wi-Fi mode on the ground when updating my aviation database, when planning a flight, or similar circumstances. The primary advantage of A-GPS is quick location reading when first turned on, when on the ground where the GPS satellites signal may be of reduced quality. At 10,000 feet plus, it is a stand alone GPS. I have frequently turned the iPad off in flight for periods of time and when powering up, it gave me accurate positioning in a few seconds, never exceeded 10 seconds. I have also tested my iPad on the ground, using the aviation maps, and the GPS works perfectly also.
It remains possible that there is some feature that enhances the GPS when on the ground, even if there is no sim card in the iPad. But I doubt that any of these would work in an aircraft at high altutide. Nonetheless, I would appreciate knowing more about this.

You need to transfer the iTunes Library from the most recent backup you made before the hard drive was replaced.
You can't transfer the full iTunes Library from the iPad back to iTunes.
There are third-party Windows applications that will transfer data from an iOS device, but they don't re-create the iTunes Library exactly as it was before.

how does 3G work? does it need a 3G sim-card?

If you want to use 3G services, then yes you will need a sim card in your 3G/wifi iPad - but if you just want to use wifi and/or the GPS capability of the iPad then you don't need to activate a 3G service with it

If I buy more storage how does it work

If I buy more storage from cloud how does that work and will I be able to buy more movies.

Works good, but not for movies.
You can buy movies, but you are going to need space on the device to watch them. You can only get that space two ways.
Clean out something else or buy bigger capacity iphone/ipad/ipod.

How does this work?

This is not a complaint, but a confused sigh of admiration. I've got an email account at the university where I teach. When I got my iBook, it took me a while, and a few conversations with IT at the school, to get this account working in the Mail application. (Since I have a Verizon DSL at home, I had to include that SMTP as the outgoing server.) Anyway, I synched this mail account (along with my AOL and .Mac accounts) onto the iPhone, and it works perfectly, both incoming and outgoing. I didn't have to change any of the settings. I thought I was computer savvy, but I can't wrap my mind around this. It seems like magic. How does it work?

The sync process with iTunes transfers the email account settings (for your chosen accounts via your iPhone sync preferences) from the Mail application on your Mac to the iPhone's email application.
The iPhone is running OS X and the iPhone's email client can be considered a mobile version of the Mail application.

My iPhone was stolen and I have contacted the police who are using the meid number to locate. How does this work and what are my chances of getting the phone back?

My iPhone was stolen. I used Find My iPhone app to lock it and display a message. The phone has not connected to the internet to locate it. I contacted the police and they have taken my meid number. How does this work and what are my chances of getting the phone back? Are there other ways the theif can use it. I was told once they put in a new sim card and use it, whatever software the police have, it will show up.

Honestly? In the US (I can't speak to other countries, though I doubt it works much differently in a lot of the world) The police took your report and filed it either in their computers or, on paper. They will now not think of this again. The only time it will cross anyones mind is if, in the course of entering information into evidence about items recovered or seized at a crime scene, the serial number of an iPhone that was found/seized happens to match yours, in which case you will be contacted.
The police in the US can and will do nothing to 'blok' the phone and it's not worth their time to try and locate it unless you know for a fact that it was stolen by a big time drug lord, master criminal, or some other such prime target and they can get a court order to track the location of the phone in order to locate this individual for your own purposes. If they do that, they'll probably keep him under surveilance for a year or so before they act.
Basically, the police don't care about your phone. If they find it, they will give it back to you. They are not, however, going to go looking for it. They have better things to do.
I'm sorry, but that's the way it is.
