I can't connect my cell number to iPad 1

I have an iPad 1. At one time my iPhone number was connected to it to use iMessage.  Currently I can receive iMessages via my email only,and not via the iPhone number.  I would appreciate any ideas how to link cellphone number to the iPad.  Any help is appreciated

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 can I connect the iTunes in my iPad (now with iOS7) to my Power PC Mac?

    How can I connect the iTunes in my iPad (now with iOS7) to my Power PC Mac?

    Nope, the top OS version for the IBM processor is 10.5.8, and under that version I can not update the iTunes further than the 10.6.3 :-(
    But that means the brand leaves a large chunch os costumers with still perfectly operating computers out of the loop on purpose, so to force us to upgrade computer?
    Not fair at all, both are legitimate Apple products, they should sync no matter what! The sad thing is theu used to, before I migrated to iOS7 on the iPad, move that I now regret...

  • Can I connect the iphone 3gs with ipad 2?

    Hallo
    can I connect the iphone 3gs with ipad 2?

    You can connect it to use the iPhone as a personal hotspot for the iPad, or to transfer photos/videos via the camera connection kit. You can't connect them in order to transfer music, documents etc.

  • I can't connect to Youtube from my Ipad.

    I can't connect to Youtube on my Ipad from Safari OR the icon. Anybody?

    As Chris stated, certain content is not available in all countries. The site will tell you what content is available where you live.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3599
    You see only those tabs in iTunes because only that content is available where you live. The Downloads tab showing the terms and conditions is the mormal behavior for that tab - unless you are downloading something in iTunes. After the download completes, that tab will revert to the terms and conditions.

  • TS3308 why i can't connect the headphone to my iPad mini retina, to sound still coming out from the ipad

    is the connector inserted as far as possible?
    Is there anything blocking it from being inserted far enough?

  • HT1349 I can't connect to iTunes on my iPad

    I can't connect to iTunes on my iPad
    I purchased something from apes and did not get it. I got the bill and wanted to challenge the charge and the link won't let me connect.

    It is NOT a hardware/software issue.
    It is a nation wide itunes app and music issue.
    There are reports of this all over the internet and Apple will not or can not respond.
    Please STOP sending people to the same worthless "support" page.

  • TS1398 Can't connect to hotspot with my iPad, picks it up but unable to connect. Any sugestions?

    Can't connect to hotspot with my iPad, picks it up but unable to connect. Any sugestions?

    When Access Connections fails to connect it asks if I want to configure the network and there's a bunch of settings. Connection type: infrastructure or Adhoc, Wireless security type "use static WEP keys", "Use Wi-Fi protected Access - Pre Shared Key (WPA-PSK)" - I choose it and under Properties there's more options. Access point authentication, WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK; I've tried it both ways. Data encryption: TKIP or AES, I've been using TKIP. Under Pre-Shared Key, there's the only box I see to enter a password, so I enter the password there.
    Chances are pretty good that the problem is the network configuration of your PC and not the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS). What configuration options you choose will depend on how you set up the AEBS's wireless network, but the following can be used as a guideline:
    o Connection Type: Infrastructure
    o Wireless Security Type:
    AirPort Setting = PC Setting
    o WEP = WEP
    o WPA Personal = WPA-PSK w/TKIP
    o WPA2 Personal = WPA-PSK w/AES

  • IPad 3 keeps saying it can't connect to cell network even though I've got full bars

    My iPad 3 is on the O2 network in the UK. Pretty much every day on my commute or whenever I go onto 3G as opposed to wifi I will have full bars, an apparently strong connection, but the iPad will insist it can't connect to the Internet because there's no active cell connection. I have tried every trick in the book to get it to recognise the network that it can clearly see perfectly well, but the only thing that works is turning the device properly off and on again.
    It actually happened while I was writing this message in fact: surfed to this page, wrote the post, pressed Submit and the iPad old me there was no Internet. Had to restart and repost.
    Anyone else seeing this?

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

  • Can I connect my cell phone to my iPad?

    I want to connect my cell phone to my iMac through bluetooth in order to transfer the photos I took on the phone to my iPad. Is this possible? I've established a connection through bluetooth but I can't do anything with it. If this isn't possible on the iPad is it doable on the iMac? I'm using an aqueous/sharp handset.
    Cheers

  • Can't connect to wifi on my iPad 2

    I'm on a college campus and I can't connect to the wifi with my iPad 2. On both my MacBook Pro and iPhone 4 there are 5 different networks I can use, but on my iPad not one will show up. How can I connect to the wifi? I've tried "choosing the network" for each wifi network on campus and not one of them will work. I've also tried reseting the network settings and that also didn't work. Ideas?

  • After the iOS 5.1.1 update,I can't connect to Bluetooth on our iPads

    SInce the iOS 5.1.1 update I can no longer connect to our Bose Sounddock via Bluetooth on both of our iPads.  I can still connect to the Sounddock via bluetooth with my iPhone as I have not completed the iOS upgrade. The speaker still works because i have obtained a hard line connection to the iPads and via bluetooth to the iPhone as discussed.  Any suggestions?

  • I can't connect to itunes from my ipad. Please help!!!

    I can't connect to itunes from ipad! Please help.

    See if any if these suggestions get you connected again.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off. Set the date one year ahead. Try to update the apps again. If you get an error message, go back to the settings. Correct the date and time (set automatically) then go back and try to update the apps again. You may have to experiment with the date a little bit... A year ahead, a few months ahead ....
    Or ....Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Or ....If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try again.
