I am trying to send SMS text via iPad Air and cannot. I have gone into my iPhone and "forward message to iPad". However I am prompted to enter "code shown on iPad"... What code and where do I find that on iPad??

The home screen is the screen that shows all of your app icons. You can have one home screen or up to 11 home screens depending on how many apps you have. The home screen on an iPad is the equivalent of the desktop screen on a computer. If you are using an app, just tap the home button once to return to a home screen.
This is is a (my) home screen.
You you might want to double check the instructions here.

Make make sure that you are signed into your iCloud account in Settings>iCloud and make sure that you have selected your Apple ID email address as well in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at.

I can't send SMS text from iPad 4 w/ cellular, no option to add or turn off/on

I can no longer send SMS text with IPad 4 w/ cellular. There is no option in settings-messages to turn on SMS like on iphone5. Everything is trying to be sent iMessage which fails when sending text to non apple users. This change occurred after last iOS update.

I can confirm this for the Ipad Mini with iOS6.1
Although the cellular hardware is available - the iPad doesn't handle SMS Text messages.
For those trying to use prepaid 3G internet data simcards, not being able to send or receive text messages pretty much cripples most 3G prepaid internet simcard packages available around the world.

You can only use iMessage to reach other iDevices. Non-Apple devices require a regular SMS text message.

I was trying to send a video via iMessage over wifi, but was only allowed to send a fraction due to the size limit. Does anyone know what exactly the limit is? Thanks!!

You said: "I've never tried the restore function in disk utility. Would that be the same as cloning the drive?
YES! See the my old instructions below. What you might try after step 5 is to restart you MBP holding down the Option key. Select the new HDD icon and see if it boots. This way you will know that the new HDD is operable.
Ciao.
INSTALLING A NEW HDD IN A MB
1. Make certain that you have backed up all of your important data.
2. You will need a HDD enclosure. One with a USB connection will do. A 9 pin Firewire is better.
3. Install your new drive in the enclosure and connect it to your MBP.
4. Open DISK UTILITY>ERASE. From the left hand column drag the new drive into the 'Name' field. Make sure that the format is 'Mac OS Extended (Journaled)'. Click on the 'Erase' button.
5. Click on the 'Restore' button (on top). Drag the old drive into the 'Source' field and the new drive into the 'Destination' field. Click on the 'Restore' button on the bottom right hand corner.
Depending upon the amount of data you are transferring, this may take a couple hours or more. A Firewire will speed up the transfer. This will result in both drives having identical information on them.
6. After the data transfer has completed, you may swap the drives. Start the MBP and you have finished the installation. The initial boot may take a bit longer than you are accustomed to, but that is normal.
7. When you are satisfied that the new hard drive if functioning properly, you can erase the old drive and use it for any needs that you may have.

When trying to send a photo via email, I am prompted to setup an email account even though email is already setup. What would cause this?

when trying to send a photo via email, I am prompted to setup an email account even though email is already setup. What would cause this? Better yet, how do I fix it?

I have checked this on my device. I see a Default account under Messages created outside of Mail will be sent from the default account. There is an account selected, though it does not show my exchnage account. If it is only an exchange accout, can that not be used for this?

Could you please let me know if you are using subscription or bought Acrobat as a one-time purchase.
If its a subscription, then all you need is to sign in at adobe.com using your Adobe credentials and download the software.
Otherwise, you might refer the KB doc link mentioned below to find your serial number:

From which account does the email not send? When sending from an account, the iPad will first try to use the aoutgoing server for that account. If it can't it will try the other accounts listed.in the setting on the iPad for that account. It soulds like the server for the account is not working and that the alternate server is resjecting the messag since it did not originate ffrom the account associated with that server, That is to prevent sending spam.

HT3529 Isn't it misleading to say you can send unlimited texts via iMessage?

Everything I read on the Apple web site says that you can send unlimited texts via iMessage on WiFi or SMS. However, unless you have unlimited data, iMessages can eat up all of your data plan. I know, because it happened to us on our AT&T plan. So shouldn't you warn folks about that?

Everything I read on the Apple web site says that you can send unlimited texts via iMessage on WiFi or SMS.
No, not at all. You are confused about iMessage, SMS, and data. iMessage over WiFi doesn't use any cellular data. iMessage over cell data connection does use some data, but you are not charged per message. (No one said it was free.
Alsp . SMS are iMessage are not at all related - iMessage isn't "sent via SMS." SMS is provided by your carrier and doesn't use any of your cell data at all (it uses the voice channels). Note that MMS does use cell data,

With the new OS X Yosemite operating system, yes you can. It can send and receive them. With Yosemite and IOS 8.1 (released today) you can send and receive them from your iPad as well.

Help! In iphoto my photos do not appear just a blank dated square. Somehow I messed up when trying to send a photo via email.I cannot not see any but 4 photos.I tried all of the solutions that Apple suggested. Somehow I think that i am trying to send ALL my photos in an email.How do i unhide all of my photos?

Did you launch iPhoto with the Option(Alt) and Commnad keys held down like Terence suggested? If you did it properly you will get this window:
The second option is the one you want to run.

When i send a text via icloud my e-mail address is sent at the same time ?

when i send a text via icloud my e-mail address is sent at the same time instead of the reciever getting my number or if i am in their phonebook they should get my name

Welcome to the Apple community.
Check your settings> messages and see if iMessages is turned on and if so how many 'receive at' addresses you are using, it may well be that your email address is entered as one of these addresses.
