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.

  • How do I manage conversations on iMessage for iPad. After I've read an iMessage how do I 'hide' the conversation

    When using iMessages on iPad mini I have a list of  people I'm messaging and the first few words of the last message  on the left side of the screen. If I select one, every message we've sent comes up on the right of the screen. I want to know how to close the full list of messages so all I see is the list of contacts on the left of the screen.

    I've got an idea. Message yourself a couple of pictures. Then tap  your name to open. Then you can have your list of senders without any messages showing,  only the the pictures you sent. Another idea, start your messages from contacts. Then you'll have your contacts with no messages showing.

  • Changed Apple ID password, now iMessage for iPad will not work

    Hey there,
    I changed my Apple ID password this morning but when I tried to use iMessage on my iPad this evening - and was prompted for the new password - iMessage would no longer work. My Apple ID and my iMessage email addresses are different and, although I would like to believe this is the problem, the fact is the messages are being sent to my email inbox rather than to my iPad iMessage app. Further, the "send" button is disabled when I try to send anything from the iPad.
    Any ideas?

    Also, I just tried FaceTime and that is also not working.
    The email address I would like to use appears in the list of email addresses in Settings>iMessage, but it is greyed out so I cannot access it. My apple id keeps appearing there despite my constant clicking on "forget this address." I tried using my apple id as the default email address but even that will not work.
    I'm about ready to throw all things iDevice at a wall!

  • Is there a voice recording app for ipad that shares directly via iMessage (not just email) - like voice memos does on iphone?

    Does any-one perhaps know whether there's a voice recording app for ipad that shares directly via iMessage (not just email) - like voice memo does on iphone?

    You can't do anything in the background of iOS. Apps are still one at a time (with a few exceptions like Music), and suspend when the app is closed. It's also against the App Store guidelines to sell apps that would allow such actions.
    Though, maybe you could get your Voice Memos saved to MP3's, which can play in the background of other apps.

    Hello ctb4408,
    With iMessage, it is meant to show up on all your iOS devices and Mac. If you do not want them to go across all your devices, then you will need to turn off iMessage on your iPad and Mac Pro.

    Hi barryfromwarrington,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  There are two things I can think of to keep your Stepdad's information separate from yours on the computer and the iPad.   On the computer, he should have his own administrative account, and on the iPad he needs his own Apple ID for iTunes and iCloud services.  Here is some basic information to get started.  I don't know if you have a Mac or Windows computer, so I'll include info for both.)

    OS X Yosemite: Set up users on your Mac
    If your Mac has multiple users, you should set up an account for each person so he or she can personalize settings and options without affecting other users. 
    Add a user
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Users & Groups.
    Click the lock icon  to unlock it, then enter an administrator name and password. 
    Click Add  below the list of users. 
    Click the New Account pop-up menu, then choose a type of user.

    Enter a full name for the new user. An account name is generated automatically. To use a different account name, enter it now—you can’t change it later.

    Click Create User.
    For an administrator, select “Allow user to administer this computer.”

  • 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?

    Update ipad mini 3 ios 8.2 on itunes - windows 7, got error code 0xE800001C, plz help me...And i want to use my second phone number (not the same number as my iphone5s..) to use it as the numbers in iMessage for this ipad mini 3...is it possible?

  • How do I add my phone number to iMessage on iPad

    How do I add my phone number for my iPhone to my iPad for iMessage. On the settings on iMessage it only gives the options for an email. I have tried typing my mobile no in there but it doesn't accept it and there doesn't seem to be any other way to add it.
    I was getting iMessages for my mobile number on my iPad until I recently logged out and then back into my apple ID. Now the mobile number has disappeared on my iPad for both FaceTime and iMessage.

    Use a free email address like gmail.com.
