I can't get AIM to send out texts messages on my new iPad. Says unable to connect, any suggestions? It's an iPad 2 wifi... Thanks

Have a new iPad2 wifi- trying to text using the AIM app, keeps saying "unable to connect" any suggestions? Thanks

Katie-
I assume you already have an AIM account, and have entered the correct user name and password in the AIM App.
This sounds similar to a problem where the iPad connects to your WiFi, but can't reach the internet.  It could be a compatibility problem with your WiFi router.
You can try resetting the iPad's network.  Go to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings.  You will then need to reconnect to your WiFi.
Another thing to try is to reboot the iPad.  Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes.  Rebooting will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

  • TS2755 Is anyone else having issues trying to send out text messages since the new update?

    Been having issues sending out iMessages to other iPhone users. Seems to be very slow to send or does not send at all since the new update. I've been having to restart my phone or click the message and send as a text. Is anyone else experiencing this same issue?

    I had trouble texting today as the touch screen was not responsive until I rebooted. Had nothing to do with my carrier.
    I also have trouble with the SwiftKey app when the keyboard does not display.  I sometimes can get it back up by going in Setting-General-Keyboard-SwiftKey and turning it off then back on.  But just as many times it will only display again after a reboot. I don't know if this is iOS 8.1.1 or SwiftKey.

    Can someone tell me the implications of using the command RESET DATABASE on my system days after I did the open reset logs? I opened the database with the ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS in SQL not RMAN and I see the below note.....
    Re: Can't get dataguard to recover after SAN crash.
    To reset the incarnation of the target database in the RMAN repository, which means to do either of the following actions:
    •Inform RMAN that the SQL statement ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS has been executed and that a new incarnation of the target database has been created. Note that if you run the RMAN command ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS (not the SQL statement with the same keywords), then RMAN resets the target database automatically so that you do not have to run RESET DATABASE. By resetting the database, RMAN considers the new incarnation as the current incarnation of the database.

    It looks as if my router is running WEP.
    Virtually no security at all there, as there are numerous free utilities available on the Internet that will crack a WEP network in seconds.  You might as well run the network wide open, since WEP offers about the same level of protection.
    You will not be able to configure the Express using an iPhone, iPad, or any version of AirPort Utility that is 6.x or higher with your router set to use WEP "security". They will not work with WEP, since it is so long out of date and non-secure.
    An older version of AirPort Utility 5.x might allow you to configure the Express using WEP security, but with no protection anyway, this would be of little value.
    See if your router can be configured to use WPA2 Personal security or WPA/WPA2 Personal security. If it can, then you will be able to use an iPhone, iPad, or any version of AirPort Utility to configure the Express in just a few minutes.
    If your router cannot be configured to use stronger current WPA settings, now might be a very good time to ask your service provider for a new router.

  • I cannot send out text messages

    I cannot send out text messages - I can receive them - cannot send them to a contact.
    This contact has a multiple contacts ranging from gmail to facebook.  I deleted all the contacts and now the contact can receive my text messages.
    I noticed a small x in a circle to the right of the contact's name. A red x in a circle would appear and say my text messages not sent. I would resend - nothing changed. 
    Does anyone know why this happens and how I can fix the contact so I can text without getting these messages.
    The contact is not blocking me by the way - it is my spouse LOL
    Thank you

    Thanks to draya06 for your response.
    Please try deleting all text messages from this person and resend. Do you have a signature on your outgoing text messages? If so please remove the signature and retry. If these don't work please PM me and we will further troubleshoot this issue.
    Thank you

  • I set up my daughter ipad mini. Now she cannot send out text messages.

    I set up my daughter's ipad mini. Now she can't send out text messages.

    1. Messages on the iPad can only be sent to other iDevices
    2. They must also be registered with iMessage
    Note: The two above conditions must be met.

  • HT201335 I have a MacBook Air that was bought April 5, 2011. It seems it should be supported for Airplay mirroring but I can't get it to work and I do not have the icon on my bar. Any suggestions?

    I have a MacBook Air that was bought April 5, 2011. It seems it should be supported for Airplay mirroring but I can't get it to work and I do not have the icon on my bar. Any suggestions?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). It also requires the computer to be using wi-fi.

  • Why can't people send a text message to my new iPad phone number

    Why can't people send a text message tou my new iPad phone number? I just got this iPad for my birthday and my wife has secretly told everyone the new number to send text messages to as a surprise when I onpened it... but none came through.

    Only individuals with iOS devices can message you and they must message you via the email address(es) associated with your Apple ID.
    They cannot message a phone number unless you have an iPhone associated with the account.

  • Can I copy, email, or print out text messages?

    I would like to save some text messages, & I'm wondering if they can be saved, emailed or printed?

    1. Off hand, I would say that you could, depending how much trouble you want to go thru. I am not sure about your iPhone 5c, but I have done so with my iPad 2. I guess the main thing you would need is various difference e-mail addresses on various devices. In which case, I just send myself a text message from one device to another, which is connected to a printer.
    2. Something else that would help, if you had an e-printer. I do not have one myself, but from what I understands, you just send your text message like an e-mail to the e-printer. Then it prints out the text message.
    3. Furthermore, you might want to check out "Google Cloud Print" at http://www.google.com/cloudprint. It has difference options you can choose from. So you can use this app with an e-printer, or you can use it with a classic (non-e-printer) instead. As far as myself goes, I have it configured to work with a classic printer. And it does just fine, with good results.

  • I can't send a text message with this new iPad 3

    I cannot send a text to a friend with an older iPhone.  I tried turning iMessage off but it keeps prompting me to log in instead of sending the text via SMS with my cellular plan.  Any suggestions?

    So you did not read about iMessage before you bought the iPad? If you did, you would know that you can only text other iOS 5 users.
    http://www.apple.com/ios/features.html#imessage says:
    iMessage  
    iPad and iPod touch join the conversation.
    With iMessage, we’ve created a new messaging service for all iOS 5 users. You can send unlimited text messages via Wi-Fi or 3G from your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch to anyone with one of those devices. iMessage is built into the Messages app, so you can send text, photos, videos, locations, and contacts. Keep everyone in the loop with group messaging. Track your messages with delivery receipts and optional read receipts, see when someone’s typing, and enjoy secure encryption for text messages. Even start a conversation on one of your iOS devices and pick up where you left off on another.

  • I can't receive my incoming mail. ESP is yahoo.  Error msg says unable to connect with POP server.  Any solution?

    I can't receive my incoming mail in Mac Mail. ESP is yahoo.  Error msg says unable to connect with POP server.  Any solution?  I am able to get my incoming messages via yahoo website but not through the Mail app.

    Try this, if it is not the correct department, ask them for the number or to be transfered..
    Call 1-800-318-0612 for Login Help
    Also on most autmated systems, if you hit 00000, or ##### you can sometimes get thru to a person.
    Is Yahoo your Internet provider? Do you have  a local provider? ei:AT&T, SBC,  cable co, check who you make your check or epatment to...etc, If so I would start there, but if no joy go to the "Mothership"
    I may be wrong about this, (it's been a long time now) I may have deleted my mail account from Mail (after writing down all the info from all General/accounts, and the rest of the tabs, and then added a new account using my existing email address, and it may have "walked me thru the rest of the proceedure".
    But like I said it was a long time ago 3-4 years, but that may have been the path I ended up taking, make sure to write all the info down in case you need to re-enter it all manually. Then try calling them.
    All the best
