IMessage is not working on iPad mini. The option of send isn't working. Can't send any msg. What should I do?
The option of send in iMessage in iPad mini appears grey in color. Even though I have written a message. Sending the message is not possible. What can be done?
Good morning
1. Do you have internet access, does Safari bring up a web page?
If you have internet access try this:
A good old fashioned “restart” might do the trick.
Settings -> Messages -> iMessage (OFF)
Turn iMessages on
Reboot your iOS device
A reboot tends to free up memory, help with leaks, etc.
Hold the power key and slide to power off and simultaneously
Hold the power button to power on until the Apple icon appears

Got the dreaded no wifi on my wife's iPhone 4S. Wifi greyed out and no luck with the reset network instructions. Why isn't Apple addressing this issue? We are a family of Apple product users, 2 ipads, an ipad mini, 4 iPhones but one isn't working! Issue began whenwe upgraded the operating system.....
Come on Apple.....get this issue sorted out!Just out of warranty. This is a software issue. everything was ok until the software update. Apple just need to sort it out.

After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning Messages issues:

Before you start troubleshooting, learn the difference between SMS, MMS, and iMessage. The first step to resolving an issue with iMessage is toupdate your iOS software and your carrier settings to the latest versions. If iMessage still has an issue, follow the steps below for your issue.

Got new iPad 4 a week ago and it's saying not enough storage and when I go to tap on settings nothing is happening and I won't switch off!
If your device is frozen and unresponsive, reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

I got a message under my original Firefox telling me to update. I followed instructions and downloaded new files for Firefox 5. Download was successful. When I followed Wizard to set up, I am told to close Firefox 4 which stopped working. When I click on old icon nothing happens so I am stuck using Internet explorer which I hate. I have tried multiple times to install 5 and always end up in the close old version of firefox before you install 5 loop. Running Windows 7 Home edition
My situation is a similar 4 - 5.0.1 upgrade in my laptop XP home SP3. But the day started out with my FF link not working because the program (and most of its components) had vanished from Program Files\Mozilla Firefox. Maybe as a by-product of the previous session having ended with a forced low-battery shutdown? Then I installed FF4.0 (that was the latest setup I had, although I thought I had been on 5) and it immediately advised the upgrade. (My tabs and add-ons appeared normal.) When the upgrade finished it required a reboot to finish the upgrade. And that began the loop of requiring the reboot to finish the prior upgrade.
I tried removing FF with XP's Add/Remove Programs but that also prompts for the pending reboot instead of starting the removal. -

I bought an iPhone while overseas, but I'm back living in the states now. It seems that FaceTime and iMessage is not enabled on it. How do I get it to work now that I'm back in the states?
I did buy it from someone in Jordan. So they might have got it from KSA, or UAE, or it even might be the same rules in Jordan. I don't think the imessage works even, every time someone sends me a message from their ipad it says "Not delivered". Maybe I am wrong?

i have a Iphone 4s and a ipad mini. the ipad mini recently got water damage, tried the rice trick...nothing. I have apple care plus on my iPhone, does that work on my ipad too? if so that would be great bc defintally can't afford a new one ,lol
Welcome to the boards.
First, what kind of liquid was it, and was it fully submersed? For how long? Do you see water droplets or moisture behind the screen? How long did you leave it in rice for? Etc. More data please.
And the short answer is no, apple care does not extend from your iPhone to your iPad mini. Both items require separate Apple Care plans to be covered. Furthermore, I don't think water damage is covered under Apple Care. Only manufacturing defects.
If you bought it on a Credit Card, you may be lucky enough to call them and ask them if they have a replacement program as a benefit for being a card holder. I believe AMEX has one on their Platinum cards, and worse case scenario, you can always try to file a claim with your home insurance or renters insurance (check your policy). Just beware, if you go the Insurance route in filing a claim, you might have your premium go up in the next cycle.
It's a double edged sword, I'm sorry. -
I can't lock screen on Ipad mini. My lock screen button is working for shutdowning Ipad, but don't working for lock screen. Also I tried to lock screen from Assistive Touch and it's not working. When I click lock screen on assistive touch it nothing happens.
Thank you for that update.
I would next backup your device to iTunes with this article:
iOS: How to back up and restore your content
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
And restore it first as a new device, and verify that it works properly, then restore from your backup with the same article below to ensure that it is still working.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
If it does not work correctly when you set up the phone as a new device, I would next seek service for your iPad:

When I tweet from my notification center on my iPad mini, the link to the content I'm tweeting about is not included. It only includes the title of the tweet. How do I fix that? Thanks.
The choice should appear as two tabs at the top - imap & pop.
Make sure you're choosing 'Other'.

Just got an iPad mini 3 and have not reset my iPad mini 3; is that why the photos from iCloud backup are not showing up in the new iPad?
Sorry, don't know what you are asking. You have an old iPad Mini 3 and a new iPad Mini 3? How did you set up the new iPad? Did you restore it from a backup of the old iPad? What photos are you not seeing?
Cheers,

I can not open my ipad mini, a message says " cannot back up. This ipad can not back up to icloud without a verified email address. later , settings but neither of the two when clicked can't be opened.pls advise on what to do?
Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
