I downloaded ios 5 yet my ipad 2 doesn't send or receive imessages from other ios 5 users i need assistance

I have an ipad 2 and downloaded ios 5. The imessage works on my iphone, but not my ipad. I cannot get it to send or receive messages. I am communicating with another ios 5 user. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Check Settings>Messages>MMS Messaging and make sure it's set to "On".

  • I have my daughters Ipod, my iphone, my wife's Iphone and Ipad on the one Apple ID.  Since the latest update we are receiving Imessages from our daughter's Ipod with my wife's caller ID on the one message strand.  Can I fix this problem?

    I have my daughters Ipod, my iphone, my wife's Iphone and Ipad on the one Apple ID.  Since the latest update we are receiving Imessages from our daughter's Ipod with my wife's caller ID on the one message strand. 
    Is it possible to differentiate between all the devices?Can I fix this problem?

    I recommend that you
    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
      Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

  • I have a brand new iPad newest version. Wifi. The messaging won't send out but I receive messages from others. What is wrong?

    I have the newest version of the iPad (3rd generation) with wifi. The messaging won't send out but I'm receiving messages from others when I'm using it. They also come through on my iphone at the same time. But I can't send them out on the iPad. I tried someone's suggestion of changing the DNS to 8.8.8.8 and that did not work to fix it. What is wrong with this thing?  Thank you in advance for your help.

    Are you trying to send a message to a cell number or an email address?  iPad does MMS, not SMS, meaning it can't send a message to a number.  It can send a message to an email address........

  • TS2755 Ever since I updated my phone to iOS 7 I cannot send or receive iMessages. How can I fix this

    I updated my iPhone 4 a few weeks ago to iOS 7. Ever since I did that I cannot send or receive iMessages. How can I fix this???

    Try powering the iPhone off and back on. If that doesn't help, go to Settings -> General -> Reset and reset the Network Settings. Reports are that one of those two steps have cured problems with iMessages for many people.
    Regards.

  • If I download iOS 5 do I need to back up the stuff on my iPad before doing this?

    Do I need to back up the stuff on my iPad before downloading iOS 5.1?

    It's advisable to copy any important content off it first - if it's an iPad 2 then it will be updated to iOS 6 not iOS 5.1 (so you will lost the built-in YouTube app and the Maps will change). You can copy any purchases from the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. You can also copy photos and any important documents off the iPad e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. Then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    And start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

  • I am trying to download iOS 7 as I need it to print pictures off of my phone. I have followed the directions; settings to general but the next step is software update and I do not have this under general. What do I do?

    I am trying to download iOS to my iphone. Don't have software update showing after I tap general under settings. What do I do?

    Hello kcmercier,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you are trying to update your iPhone but do not see Software Update as an option. The ability to update iOS over Wi-Fi was introduced in iOS 5; it sounds like the iPhone you are currently using may be on iOS 4 or earlier. You can update your iPhone; however, using iTunes on a computer. Please follow the instructions in the Update your device using iTunes section of the attached article to complete this process. 
    Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
    Have a great day,
    Joe

  • I can't download itunes movies to my iPad; it doesn't recognize the wifi.

    I am trying to download a movie to my iPad.  I receive an error message each time telling me I must be connected to Wifi; however, I am connected.  My daughter is trying on our Apple TV and computer and receives the same error message.  We just performed the 5.1 update.  Could this be the problem?  Some internal conflict with the software?

    Try it again now.  This was a system error on Apple's end....the message had nothing to do with what was wrong (and there was nothing wrong with your setup or system).
    This started working again at about 8pm CST for me.
    This affected rentals and purchases (for me it was on iTunes through my computer hard wired to a network).
    If you look at the error message you'll notice that its a mix of upper case and lower case words and the message itself actually doesn't make much sense - my guess is that it was a meaningless error message created by developers during testing before....just a guess.
