I have an iPad (no iPhone) - how can I link facetime/iMessage to my phone number

Hi there,
New to the forums, can't seem to find this answer and if anyone could help that would be great.
I don't have an iPhone. On my ipad, my apple ID only allows me to facetime and imessage by my email address. When I login with my girlfriends apple ID, she automatically gets her phone number synced to use. I've added mine to my apple ID profile, yet I still cant select my number for imessage or facetime. I can't seem to find a setting or an answer for this. Any help?
Thanks
Daniel

You can only link an iPhone number to Messages and FaceTime. It doesn't work with an Android phone number or a conventional cell phone number - iPhone numbers only.

How do I enter an itunes U course code in iTunes on a PC? My teacher gave me a course code to enroll in their course (unpublished), but I don't have an iPad or iPhone. Can I use iTunes on my PC?

How do I enter an iTunes U course code in iTunes on a PC? My teacher gave me a course code to enroll in their course (unpublished), but I don't have an iPad or iPhone. Can I use iTunes on my PC? I don't see a place to enter my enrollment code. I also tried using the link sent to enroll but it doesn't work either. Am I out of luck?

As I noted in the other thread:
There are two kinds of content available, "courses" and "collections". If you look at the iTunes U section on the iTunes Store, you'll note some are square (collection) and some have a faux wire binder and tabs (course); you can subscribe and watch collections from within iTunes, but courses only work on iOS.
The content you see in iTunes on your PC are "collections", while your teacher has created a "course". Collections are more like podcasts, with only audio or video episodes available. Courses have more structure and richer content, including assignments and iOS-specific materials like App Store links and Pages documents.
While the distinction is not particularly relevant for iOS users – one can subscribe to either type – it is admittedly confusing for desktop users since the distinction and terminology are not explicitly defined.
Does that clarify matters somewhat?

This is all just a partial answer since details will depend upon how you want to do it.

Commercial software utility for transferring songs from i-device to Mac - http://www.fadingred.com/senuti/
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - just media purchased from iTunes Store
You'll need to get it all onto one iTunes collection on your Mac Pro, then sync the devices to that. iTunes only lets you transfer purchases from a device, otherwise you have to use third party software.
I guess you could also look into getting iTunes Match.

I have just had an iPad mini but all my messages are coming through on my iPad and iPhone how can I stop this happening

I have just had an iPod mini but my messages are coming through on my iPad and my iPhone how can I stop this happening ? Do I need to reset my iPad ?

To prevent messages from reaching both devices you can turn off Messages on the device you do not want to receive messages but keep Messages on on the device you do want to receive Messages.
You might also look at this option for both devices.
Settings > Messages > Send and Receive > review the a riotous choices for how you can e reached and select the ones that are most appropriate for you and the device you are setting.

I have An IPad Air Cellular. Can I make a call like normal Phone

Can I make a call on IPad Air Cellular as normal Phone??

The cellular part of that it has the ability to transmit and receive cellular data, not make phone calls over the cellular network.
If you also have an iPhone, you can use the new feature quoted below described in Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
Phone calls
To make and receive phone calls on your iPad or iPod touch, here's what you need:
Your iPhone and your iPad or iPod touch need to use iOS 8 or later.
Both devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
Both devices must be signed in to FaceTime using the same Apple ID.
This means any iOS device that shares your Apple ID will get your phone calls. Look below for instructions on how to turn off iPhone cellular calls.
Wi-Fi Calling needs to be off.
If you don't also have an iPhone, you can use FaceTime or Skype or Google Voice or other types of apps for calling.

How can I see a contact's entire phone number when iphone has large text?

Hi everybody,
I changed the font on my mom's iphone 5 to a larger size (but not the largest available) so it's easier to read. However, now when trying to view one of her contact's phone numbers, the number cuts off at seven digits and follows with dots, for example "(123) 456-7..."
Perhaps it's a silly question, but how can I view the entire number without reducing the font size? When I try to select the number it dials the contact. I wouldn't want to cut and paste, or copy it every time just to see the entire number. Any help would be much appreciated!!!!!

The contact in which the photo does appear (along with the contact's name as well) is one that I added myself. I have photos added for many of the people in my Contact List, but neither their photo nor their name appears to me whenever they call or text me.
I know how to add a photo to a contact's information within my Contact List. I need to know how I can make that photo (or even the contact's name) appear whenever I have an incoming call/text from them. What I am seeing is just their phone number, and I do not know everyone's phone number well enough to recognize from whom I am getting a call/text. It would be much easy if their photo or name appeared instead.
TYSM for your speedy reply to my query, but the information that you have provided does not solve my issue.

I lost all my music on my iphone how can i get it back on my phone

i payed for all this songs,i lost it through upgrade,how can i get it back to my phone

joephilipose,
If the contacts are still in Address Book on your computer, but just not on the phone, you can tell iTunes to force replace the contacts on your phone with those from your computer. You can do this by going into the Info tab when your iPhone is connected, and checking the Contacts box under the Advanced section at the bottom of the page.
You may also want to backup your Address Book information as well. It's a good idea to make periodic backups of your contact and calendar information in case information accidentally gets deleted or changed. You can find out how to backup your Address Book data here:

To backup your iCal information, follow the steps in this article:

How can I make a call to *190*phone number# in c#?

Hi,
I am trying to create an app as shortcut for some requests.
I want to make a call to this number: *190*phone number# using c# but it never works.
On the phone, I can call this number and I get a reply from my provider.
If I try to call it using:
Windows.ApplicationModel.Calls.PhoneCallManager.ShowPhoneCallUI("*190*phone number#", "TEST CALL");
I get a message saying that I have to use the dialer keypad to send the request.
Is there a workaround for this (bug)? I mean, if I put the phone number in the phoneCall-request, it is because I don't want insert it manually in the dialer keypad...
Thanks,
Adriano

Yes security LOL...
If Microsoft want security, they should create a smartphone without the possibility to install apps ;)
If an app can't make a call (user has to press CALL), the same thing is also possible for a FREE request to the provider, or not?
Thanks for the link! This show once again that write a utility for WP is a hard work...
If I create a new contact, I have to call phoneCallTask.Show();
... And so I am on the same situation.
.My phone provider created an app for iPhone and one for Android. I was thinking I would be able to create something for Windows Phone too. Now I know why nobody want to create tools for Windows Phone. The API never allow you to write a utility (for security
reason, I know ;) )... But it would also be nice to have a utility some times in a store full of inutility apps :(
About this BUG:
I can create a textbox where the user can copy the phone number (maybe the app could copy it automatically in the clipboard if there is no security problem about the OS :P). But the user has to exit the app, open the dialer and insert this text.
Is there a way to open the phone dialer?
Thank you for the support Cristian!

How to delete a phone number from "you can be reached by Imessages at" the phone number that I want to delete says verifying

Hi, my family all uses the same AppleID we never had a problem until this morning. I got a "phone number added to Iphone, Iphone is now using xxx-xxx-xxxx message it was my husbands number so I accepted it. Now he is getting all my text I went into the send/recieve and his phone number was there and on the same line it says verifying and it won't let me do anything. Does anyone know if the verifying will stop or when it should stop so I can delete his number? He lives in a different location and wants to wait until I get there to set up his own AppleID. Thanks

I used the post that said to turn off Imessage and facetime and back on-
it worked. My husband is new to using an Iphone so when I go to see him I will set him up a iCloud account like you suggested. Thank you

How can we remove the i message old phone number?

I got another phone, but when my friends try to text me; my number still appears as an iMessage.

How can I copy, paste and edit a phone number?

If I copy a phone number then paste it, how can I edit the pasted number?
For example, my phone has an Irish SIM. If I am in the UK and copy a UK phone number from an email signature it will typically be in local format i.e. 0208 456 7890. I need to dial 00 44 208 456 7890. I cannot find a way to delete the zero prefix and add the country code.

This one kills me as well - editing phone numbers in the keypad/dialer is a pretty basic function, I could never fathom why it didn't exist. We need to be able to place a cursor, and copy/paste part-numbers! I'm constantly trying to paste just an area code, or an extension, or insert the country code, and I should not need to create a new number in the contact directory to do it!
Currently I do the copy/paste editing in Notes, and then paste the corrected number into the dialer - pointless and inefficient, and contrary to the Apple philosophy of making the user experience easy and seamless...

How can I connect my imessaging from my phone with the imessaging on my macbook?

I want my imessaging from my phone to correlate to my computer.

Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so.
Sign out of iMessage on the Mac:
          Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out
and on the iPhone:
          Settings ▹ Messages ▹ Send & Receive ▹ Apple ID ▹ Sign out
Then, on the phone, tap
          Use Your Apple ID for iMessage
Sign back into iMessage on both devices and test.
