Why can't I send SMS messages from my ipad mini 16g wifi?

Even when your iPad Mini has a 3G cellular modem onboard, the iPad Mini still can NOT send or receive SMS Text messages.
The 3G modem is only used for a internet data connection and has no software to either send or receive SMS text messages even though the hardware is available.
I can confirm this with the iPad Mini iOS6.1 with 3G cellular modem.
Apple Support has this issue currenlty under investigation - you can follow this issue here:

I recommend starting with a soft reset (pressing both home and power button until you see the apple then let go of the buttons) once you back on the home screen if you iPad still doing the same thing you may want to try a back up and restore

Why can't I send multiple texts any more? I am on iphone 5 and it is only allowing me to send messages to 10 people at once! Previously on iphones 3 and 4s I could send to many more.

Why can't I send multiple texts any more? I am on iphone 5 and it is only allowing me to send messages to 10 people at once! Previously on iphones 3 and 4s I could send to many more. I use my phone for work and want to send to multiple staff groups or project leaders the same information at the same time and not all of them have email capable phones so text has always been the best solution.
Please help ?

22ms is a long time for your computer, but I am wondering about your network. Are you 10 base or 100 base? Switch or hub? Have you tried a direct connection with a crossover cable? Just trying to spark ideas here. I use TCP all the time but only at 500 ms intervals.

I got mine (2 weeks ago) 64GB WiFi+3G (Verizon) from the apple store online
I didnt have to do anything to it, turned it on, activated it, got it on my home network then I signed up for the 3G data service, it works where ever I happen to be. (if there is an unknown WiFi connection available it asks me if I want to join before it continues to connect to the 3G when I am surfing or getting e-mail)
do you have an Apple Store close enough to travel to?
I am only assuming here, but since you have a SIM you are not in the US correct?

New iPad mini retina but why can't I download pages and numbers for free?

I have just bought an iPad mini retina and used my current itunes account to register on the iPad. I can see that the keynote that I bought before is free but not numbers and pages. Are they not suppose to be free when buying a new device?

Hi, I did use my current apple ID to activate the device but I can't see it as one of my devices that are registerd to my ID. I have an iPhone and an iPad 2 that shows when I look on the devices connected to my account. Should I reset anything to do new registration? I have tried to log out of itunes account and login again but it still doesn't work.

I have a iPad mini, I recently acquired a $15 iTunes card to get apps and music. I have forgotten my security questions and I cannot buy anything HELP (I tried to reset them in the Password and Security tab but the text under the questions does not show)

Why can't i send or receive face time calls on my mac/iphone

just bought a new 13" macbook pro and when trying to use facetime with any iphone 4, the call just keeps ringing on either end and will not connect.
maybe im doing somthing wrong?
thanks

I Have the same problem that you have.
I find a trick to make it work, but it can be a little annoting sometimes.
Turn off your Macbook and then Turn it on, and re-open Facetime
It should work
Hope it will help

TS3899 why can't i send emails when not on wifi eg 3g

When on wifi eamils send fine, as soon as I lose wifi emails won't send.
measage says unable to send email.copy in outbox. its rejected by server.
I phone 5 latest IOS 7

We are experiencing this exact same behavior. Our environment is Exchange 2007 on Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2012 domain controllers, and iOS 7. WiFi works fine but messages get stuck in outbox when sent over cellular broadband (3G/4G). Was able to reproudce problem over both Verizon and AT&T. I called Apple and engineering said that "the problem has been reported by others" and that "the problem will be fixed in a future update". Such joy. Also the problem appears to be related to message size...for sure anything over 100KB will fail over cellular broadband. Not sure of the largest message that will go through...from what I've read somewhere in the 40KB to 100KB range is where it starts to get crabby. Hard to say exactly what the problem is. Only happens with Exchange. But wasn't a problem on iOS6. Weird that an email and/or attachment size matters between WiFi and mobile broadband when going from iOS 7 to Exchange 2007 (in our case).

HT4623 Trying to update iPad 4.2 to os5. In general settings, there is no option for software update somehow do I get os5?

Can't figure out how to update software to os5 on my iPad. When I go to general there is no option to chose download software. Help. What do I do?
Thanks!

The option to update from device was only brought in with iOS5, so as stedman1 says you'll have to connect to computer and use iTunes.

Why can't I get my old bookmarks and passwords back using the 'Old Firefox Data' folder?

Hi,
Ok.....
I have just recovered my Samsung laptop back to the day I purchased it (for a fresh start)
I have the 'Old Firefox Data' folder on an external hard drive that was created a few weeks ago when I refreshed Firefox
I've tried this many times but with no luck what so ever:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/recovering-important-data-from-an-old-profile
I've re-installed Firefox 3 times
I've created new profiles and deleted others
2 Days down and I'm still can't get any of my bookmarks or passwords etc and for some reason when I create a new profile I can't find it as it's not in the location 'Profile Manager' says it is.
I'm now total lost and getting stressed out as I really need this data.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hello,
Thank you for your reply's.
I've been able to restore/apply all of my data (bookmarks, passwords etc) on my girl friends computer without any issues at all, therefore it's not something I'm doing wrong.
I've been so involved with trying to get my profile back on my computer I hadn't noticed that Firefox is not operating as it should, I've found:
- I'm unable to view/open my profile folder from 'Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder' (when I click 'Show Folder' nothing happens) however when I go to 'C:\Users\AutoStar\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles' I can view the data.
- I'm unable to save any bookmarks
- Sometimes when I try to close a tab it will not close as such however once the 'x' is clicked I'm then unable to view the page but the tab still stays visible
As I said I recovered the laptop back to the day I purchased it (for a fresh start) so Firefox was a fresh install I've also uninstalled and re-installed a few times now but the result is always the same.
Any ideas?

I used to have an RSS feed to a blog site which is protected by a username and password rembered by Firefox. I am now asked for those details when trying to enter the blog and despite entering them correctly I am denied entry.

My old server (5.5. years) was failing me and loosing some random items. I have accessed this blog site for the past three years and during that period the access passwords and user names have been changed several times. Each time I asked Firefox to remember the correct details and I gained entry with no problems. Before I replaced the equipment I was continually refused entry despite entering all the correct information. I received a message telling me that I was either not entering the correct information (which according to the Blog editor I was) or that my server did not know how to connect to the RSS feed.

Try BottomFeeder for those live feeds.

Why can't I send email when I upgrade to the latest edition of firefox?

Firefox version 3.6.23 works fine, but whenever I try a newer version I find that I can read my email, but cannot send emails. Is there a fix?

First of all, I'd like you to excuse my English. I'm Italian and I speak few words of English.
I'm using Apple product since 1984. I remember very well the first machine I used, an Apple MacIntosh Plus! I've been always proud of my many Apple's products: computers, iPods, iPads, Apple Tvs and so on.
Now I'm very sorry for what it's happening in these days (and never happened before!). Apple has released the latest version of iPad/iPhone OS (iOS 6) and Mac Os X (v10.8.2). The results are that I cannot sync my devices (iPhones/iPads) with iTunes. Every pictures I took during many years of activity disappeared from my devices.
I'm expecting a new patch from Apple, but I'm very sorry because this great and glorious factory is now very similar to Microsoft ...

Why Can't I send Images when Texting?

The first thing you need to find out is if AT&T Go Phone supports Images in messages. Of not you are out of luck.
