IMessage is not avaiable on my iPad
There is no icon and a search on the iPad finds nothing. How do I go about getting it on my iPad?
Do you have iOS 5 on your iPad? Settings>General>About>Version.
Check and see what is listed. If it is not running iOS 5, you will not have Messages on the iPad and if you want it you have to update to iOS 5 using a computer and with iTunes.

IMessage is not working on my iPad since updating to ios7.0.6
iMessage is not working on my iPad since updating to ios7.0.6
It worked well before doing the latest update.
iMessage on My iPhone 4 works fine after doing the same update.
Have done all the usual things plugging into computer, complete shut down and reboot, nothing has worked.
It keeps asking for password for Apple ID, I know I am entering the correct ID, check network is also being displayed.
Nothing wrong with my network either, other iPads and iPhones are working fine on the same network.
Would like this fixed ASAP.

IMessages are not coming through to iPad
Recently, my iMessages have not been coming through to my iPad. My sent messages will show up, but the received ones will not. I have check all of my Message settings, and they have not changed from what they were before. I've checked my Wifi connection and all other possibilities I can see, but I feel I am just missing something simple. Any ideas?
If you mean that you are not getting notified when a text comes in, go to Settings> Notification Center> Messages.

IMessage will not fully snych between ipad and iphone
Hi
I've been trying to fix this for a few hours now, and getting increasingly frustrated. My ipad and Iphone suddenly dont share iMessage information.
Both devices use the same email. I can send an iMessage from my ipad. This pops up on my iPhone. Cool. The reverse doesnt work. Anything I send from my phone keeps to my phone only. Anything coming in goes to my phone if its sent from there or from my iPad if its sent from there.
More frustating is this used to work fine.
This makes my ipad un-usable for work. Apple seems to make getting any support stageringly difficult. The Apple site actually told me there was no walk in service available in my area. Im in central London!
Please help.
Many thanks

IMessage will not send from my iPad
I set up iOS 5 and iCloud. All seems well except, I can't send a message in iMessage from my iPad. I choose a recipient, compose a title and message, but when I hit send, "nothing happens". I set up my wife's iPad and all works well on hers and I can "receive" messages on my iPad and my iMessage app in my iPhone works perfectly, but not on my iPad. Any suggestions, I'm stumped?
To reset: Hold down sleep/wake button and home button at the same time, keeping them down until the screen goes black and the Apple logo appears. If the red "slide to power off appears during this process, ignore it and keep holding the buttons down.
Hard resets often resolve a lot of problems. Give it a shot and report back. -

Most, if not all internet service providers block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provided by the ISP being used for your internet connection at the time unless the SMTP server is authenticated.
Who are you using as your internet service provider at the time?
Does your ntlworld email account have an authenticated SMTP server.
I believe Yahoo does for a Yahoo account. -

iMessage does not work after upgrade to iOS 8.1.3 on my iPad 4
I Fixed it by trying to sign in with a different ID and canceling when it asked For a password and then signed in with my ID and it works! No more error message. I got this idea from another discussion. Thank you for replying though.

Hi, uttam_june15.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I am not sure if you are unable to activate iMessage or that your phone number is not registering with iMessage. However, here are the troubleshooting articles that cover both scenarios.

im not getting my TEXT messages anymore until i get around Wifi and then they flow in....i have Imessage on on both iphone and ipad...i tried turning OFF Imessage and they still dont come in!
If they are coming in when you are around wifi, are the bubbles blue or green? SMS messages (green) are cellular and wifi would have nothing to do with this. They won't be carried over wifi. If they are blue bubbles, then they are iMessages and are coming in when you get to wifi because you are finally able to receive data, since you say you have cellular data turned off.
