    What purchased folder are you talking about? You mean Newsstand? Did you read this and does it support Newsstand?
    If a subscription app or publication does not appear in Newsstand, verify that the app supports the Newsstand feature.

  • Why do ppl keep reciving my text from my email not my number

    WHy do people keep receiving my text from my email not my number ?

    It's normal for your phone number to be grayed out under "You can be reached by iMessage at" because your can't edit it or remove it.  To ensure your messages are sent from your phone number go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and check it under "Start new conversations from"

  • Iphone 6 imessage shows email not phone number occasionally

    i have an iphone 6 on verizon network. its only 1 week old and just started showing my email instead of phone number. But the catch is it only does it occasionally. Any suggestions?

    I am also having this issue. It started when I upgraded from a 4S to iPhone 6. The cause does seem to be the iPhone 6 switching from my phone number to my email. Another symptom is that on my iPad and MacBook Pro, iMessages sent after the iPhone switches do not sync. I do have both my phone and email as valid recipient addresses for iMessage, but my phone number is checked for "Start New Conversations From." Also unchecking my email address as a valid recipient address is not an option (this is a requirement for FaceTime->iPhone Cellular Calls).

  • TS1424 Purchased Keynote for iPad and it does not show in iPad

    Purchased Keynote for iPad. Download complete. Does not show on iPad. How to resolve?

    If you can't find it on any of the iPad's homescreens or app folders, then can you find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right) - there is a limit of 11 homescreens after which apps are accessed via the spotlight searchscreen. If not then if you go into the Purchased tab in the App Store app does it show as downloaded ?
    If that shows it as downloaded but you still can't it then you could try a reset to see if you can find it after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • IMessage on iPad Mini. One has iPhone number, one does not??

    OK, so we bought two iPad Mini's and we both have iPhone 4S. iMessage is supposed to send msg's between the devices, correct? Well, when I set-up mine, I did not have the option to include my phone number when I used my Apple ID (yes, the number is in the settings for my Apple ID). When my wife set her's up, it did give her the option of using the phone number associated with her Apple ID. As a result, messages get sent to both her devices, but not to mine, unless only the email associated with the Apple ID is used.
    You can clearly see by the two pictures the differences I described above (minus the specific ID information).
    My Question: How do I get my phone number onto my iPad Mini?

  • Imessage sending from email not phone number, why!?

    I use imessage from my macbook, ipad and iphone and have selected my phone number to start new messages, through this Check Settings > Messages > Send & Receive but still my messages send from my email.
    Any thoughts on what I can do?

    When I turn back on all devices, where it says "you can be reached by imessage at" both my phone number and apple id email are checked, but only phone number for "start conversations from"
    If I uncheck my email from  the "you can be reached by imessage" section it sends only from my phone number via iphone and ipad (yay!) but I can not log back in to my messaging on my computer now...
    Does my email need to be selected in order for me to do this?

  • IMessage for iPad

    My iPad doesn't have imessage. At least I can't find it. Where can I go to find it?
    If I don't have it, can I download it? I can't see it in the app store.

    You have to have iOS 5 or higher to have iMessage on iPad.  Go to:
    Settings > General > About and check what iOS you are using on iPad.  If lower than 5 (the current OS is 5.1.1), you should connect to the computer you sync with (this is important) or you'll lose your apps if you use a different computer.  Once connected, iTunes should let you know there is an update for your iPad.  NOTE:  Going from a lower OS to 5.1.1 will be a lengthy process.  Make sure you have a lot of time to complete the process.
