If  u cannot fix my message on my I pad I am going to buy fro another brand and not apple

I am disappointed with apple .my ipad will not let me sent messages to my daugther in australia I live in cape Breton Nova Scotia and if do not get a fix soon I will get another brand not apple

User to user forum, childish threats mean nothing to us.
iPads do not do SMS messaging.
They have iMessage-which only works with other iOS devices or macs.
The person you are trying to iMessage needs to be registered with iMessages and have it turned on.
If you are trying to send SMS messages to a person who does not have an iOS device-find one of the dozens of apps in the App Store that offer SMS messaging.

  • When I create a text message from my contact on my iphone 5, the contacts mobile number appears and not there name.  But when they respond to my text, is shows up as a new text message with there name.  How do I fix this?

    Double click the home button and swipe up the messages app to stop it, then open the app again. This pretty much completely stops the process and freshly opens it again, resolving problems at times. I have had this happen before as well on my iPad, I get a banner, check messages, and nothing new is there.
    If that doesn't work, close the app like suggested above, but then restart the phone by holding down the home and lock button for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears.

  • HT204053 can someone see my text messages through another source and not my phone

    can someone see my text messages through another source and not my phone

    What exactly do you mean through another source?
    Cause the only way I can think to answer this question is by stateing -
    If you send them a text message on another device or to their email, yes. otherwise no well unless you like emailed those to yourself and "someone" has access to your email etc etc etc yes...

  • How do I tell Apple to fix their software like apps that play sound even though the sound is turned off and not being able to disable features you hate like game center

    Apple is suppose to be the pinnacle of usability and, yet, I want to throw my new IPhone 4s as far as I can and watch is smash into a million pieces on concrete. Seriously, I've already got three things that irritate the **** out of me. First, there are Apple apps that insist on playing sound even though the sound is turned off. If I flick a switch to turn the sound off, I want the sound off!!!! Second, if I do not want a totally unnecessary feature like Game Center, I should be able to disable it. I completed most of the Angry Bird levels with 2 or 3 stars and now I have to start over from square one. Maybe, this happened when I upgraded to the 4s but it sure seemed to happen when I joined Game Center. Tomorrow, I am going to reset my 4s to factory defaults to try to get rid of my Game Center account. I don't want Game Center! I do need Game Center! I hate Game Center! Finally, I had an alarm go off to wake me up and there was a Snooze button but no button to turn the alarm off. I flicked the slider to access the main screen expecting to see something to turn the alarm off but there was nothing. The alarm just kept alarming. I had to warm boot my IPhone to shut the alarm off! Really, Apple!!!!

    The sound is turned off. Only, some Apple apps like YouTube and Siri make sound when the sound is turned off. It is very embarrassing when this happens at work. My question was how do I tell Apple to fix this?
    Turning off game center does not work. The games just prompt me to sign in when they are started.I have tried everything I can find online to stop this behavior. It is annoying and should not happen. My question was how do I tell Apple to fix this?
    The alarm went off. There was a green thing that looked like a button but pressing it did nothing. There was a red button that said snooze. I did not want to snooze. I wanted to turn the alarm off. I slid the bar to unlock the phone and there were no running apps with a button to press. The alarm just keep running. I have not had this problem since it first occurred. The alarm now shuts off when I just unlock the phone. It may have happened because I had another alarm app running. The two may have interfered with each other. I would like to tell Apple about it.
    It also annoys me that the button that closes apps leaves the phone app running. If I press on a number at 6:00 AM to get information about who called me, the phone automatically dials the person back and my natural reaction is to press on the button to close the phone app but the phone keeps dialing this person at 6:00 AM. It is a bad design. I would like to tell Apple about it.
    Finally, I looked all over Apple's site to try to find someplace I could send them a polite message to let them know that I was not happy with these "features" but could not find anything. It is extremely frustrating to have issues with a product and not being able to tell the manufacturer about it. So, you grow up!.
    When trying to fix the Game Center issue, I saw a link someone posted to report issues with the IPad to Apple. The answer I am looking for is where is the link to report issues with the IPhone.

  • I cannot logoff from yahoo email account in the Firefox Browser. I have installed another browser and can successfully logoff. Do you have a fix so I can continue using Firefox?

    I have tried several times to reboot but when I logon to Firefox then to my Yahoo email account it will not let me logoff. I have installed a different web browser and my yahoo email account works fine including a successful logoff. Help!

    That problem can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links in that part of the screen not clickable.

  • I keep getting a connection failed error message from mail every time my computer goes to sleep, is shut down and/or I change network connections?

    Mail mail was working fine for months but now I keep getting an error message every time my computer shuts down or even goes to sleep.   I get the exclamation point error and when I try to reconnect it always falis.   My internet connection is fine and nothing else is losing connections.   The only way to fix it is to shut down mail completely and restart which fixes the connection every time, but it's getting really frustrating have to constantly shut down mail and restart it just to use my email.

  • TS3297 When I go to the iTunes store, all I get is a black screen. No error message, just won't open. I have tried going to iTunes on another device and it works fine.  Help!

    When I go to the iTunes store, it won't open.  I don't receive an error message of any kind, just a blank black screen.  I have tried to access the store on other devices in my home and it works.  All my music shows up in my library, but nothing will show up when I go to the actual store.  I have updated my software and made sure the date/time are correct.  Everything else seems to be working fine on my computer.  Not sure what is going on, but would really appreciate any help you can give. Thanks!

    I'm expreriencing the same conditions with the same environment.  Windows 8, iTunes-64 11.1.2.32, iTunes Store with a processing bar up to 80 +/- and the POPUP MESSAGE OF "iTunes stopped working. The error ...."
    I UNINSTALLED, iTUNES WITH NO POSITIVE RESULT.  I CHECKED THE FIREWALL AND IS THE SAME DEFINITION AS THE PREVIOUS ITUNES VERSION.
    My iTunes StoreS from my iPhones ARE OK.
    I'm spending a lot of time of research for WINDOW'S iTUNE with no solutions....

    Sorry, forgot to add this and I can't find the edit button.
    -I am using build: 9A406
    -One funny thing I want to add too: when I put the iPhone in the Apple dock and connect it with my PC, I open iTunes and select my phone. There you can see the build, software version,.. But after telephonenumber it says N/A: not applicable.. Something I only just noticed. I'm pretty sure my number was displayed back in Nov. when I first got my iPhone 4S.
    And the very last thing: Most of the time I have a very good signal, 4 out of 5 bars. It is only rarely that I have only 1 or 0 bars.

  • I cannot get my Bose speakers to work.  They are plugged correctly and not in the headset jack

    I have a new iMac 21.5 inch Led. 16.9 widescreen computer.  I purchased Bose speakers.  They are set up correctly and plugged in the back of the monitor in the correct slot (not headset slot) and I cannot get sound through  the Bose speakers.  I have tried the speakers on another computer and they work properly.  Can you help?

    Hi. If the speakers are using a standard 3.5mm plug, they need to be plugged into the headphone jack. Please clarify which jack you are using.

  • When I click on the converted PDF in my downloads, I receive a message saying'invalid format' Could that be because I use 'Pages' and not 'Word" If so, how can I convey PDF's to Pages?

    When I click on the converted PDF n my downloads, I receive a message saying 'invalid file format'.
    Could that be because I use Pages and not Word?
    If so, how can I convert my PDF's to Pages so I can modify the documents?

    Hi Kathy,
    I'm not very familiar with Pages, but I did just read on Apple's website that it does import .docx files. What happens when you open Pages, and then choose File > Open to open the .docx files?
    Best,

  • Getting message - The system extension "/System/Library/Extensions/On/USBMassStorageClass.kext was installed improperly and cannot be used.  How do I fix this?

    Getting message - The system extension "/System/Library/Extensions/On/USBMassStorageClass.kext was installed improperly and cannot be used.  How do I fix this?

    That's not a valid path. You must have tampered with the system, or used some kind of "utility" that did. You should do a clean reinstallation of the OS after backing up your data and erasing the boot volume. Be sure not to restore whatever that is.

    The first thing you should do is contact your carrier and make sure that your account is properly provisioned to send text messages.
