IMessage never works on my iPad 2

I've had my iPad 2 for a while now, and I've never been able to set my iMessage or FaceTime up. Every time I try to sign in with my Apple ID and password (which I know are correct), it gives me the "check your network connection" message. I've tried other wi-fi connections as well, all ending with the same result. I don't exactly need the functions on my iPad, as my iPhone 4 works with these two apps, but I'd love to be able to get the most out of my iPad.

Hello kmbrbts,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. 
You can use the following article to troubleshoot your FaceTime and iMessage sign in issues:

    My iMessage quit working on my iPad 2. I can receive messages but not reply.  Can anyone help?

    How  long has it been going on? Both of my yahoo accounts have messed up, but it's something on yahoo's end. I just had to wait a day or so for  it to resolve itself.
    If that doesn't work, have you tried to delete and then readd the accounts?

  • Can't get iMessage to work on my iPad 2

    iMessage used to work until iOS 6 came out and now it doesn't work on my ipad. I have tried several times to reset iMessage and reenter my apple id and tried all three addresses, .me, .icloud, and phone number but it fails. I have my ipad tethered to my iphone and it is passeing other data with other apps but iMessage will not work. Anyone have a clue how to fix this?

    Have the same problem. Don't verified any e-mail. iOS 6.0.1 - unstable system.
    Steve, are you looking for it??? Why you disappear?

  • IMessage not working on my iPad after os6 upgrade.

    iMessage has stopped delivering my messages. I upgraded my ipad to os6 two days ago and been having issues ever since. I have restarted and reset everything. I had brief success after doing a factory reset but after about six messages it cut out again. This is extremely frustrating!! Apple, fix this!

    Absolutely similar problems to many others with ios 6 upgrade, by no means am i a computer/tablet buff
    but tried (many times) to log into yahoo mail,and it continually logs you out via error message requesting re- submission of password, which it does not accept.
    Have raved about ipad(until yesterday upgrade) and was about to purchase i phone but not now, why is it that when a massive error  has clearly taken place that the company concerned does not front up the situation and inform users they will work to resolve the problem which would satisfy your customers.
    But to all concerned with yahoo mail ,its not you it is the upgrade that is the problem.
    It is a shame to see £500 go down the pan, but think a different Tablet purchase is on the cards and one that has
    Google Street View  available or just maybe Apple can restore the faith of it,s supporters by way of communication?.

  • My imessage woke work on my ipad

    My ipad wont work for imessage nomore

    Is it music you can't hear, or an app?
    If it's an app, you might be muted. Double click the home button or swipe up with four fingers and slide your finger from left to right. Unclick the mute button. Also, try flipping the switch in the side of your iPad above the volume buttons.

  • IMessage not working in the iPad

    My iPad1 is not sending or reciving messages through iMessage since june 1st. There is a red alert saying "message not delivered." Also, when I try to send a message the send status bar on the top goes through about 85% and the hangs for a few minutes and then puts out the message not delivered error message.
    I appreciate any help!

    Start with the basics.
    Quit Messages and restart the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Turn Messages off and on again.
    Sign out and sign in again. Settings>Messages>Receive at (tap on your email address) >Apple ID (Tap your ID and sign out) then sign in again.

  • Will iMessage still work on my iPad if....

    Currently, I have an iPad, iPhone and iPod touch.  When someone with an iPhone texts me, I get them on my other devices.  Which is great because my husband and my boss both have an iPhone.  In the evening, I am usually near my iPad and not my phone, so I get the texts right away.  I am not unhappy with my iPhone at all, but am considering getting an android phone this time.  Just to change it up a bit (and hopefully not regret it).  My question is whether the texts from those two people would still continue to go to my iPad if my iPhone was taken out of the equation???

    I keep searching cnet and other sites for something more than a rumor on the next iPhone.  Haven't found anything concrete yet.  I am not sure if I like the sort of bubble gum look to the new iOS 7.   But I have to say that my iStuff just works.  ;-)  I've been burned by older Samsung phones that wouldn't even make or take phone calls when I needed it.  I wanted to pitch the last one in the last after 5 months.  Eventually, I found someone at Sprint who let me upgrade very early.  And my next computer might be an Apple as well.  Not really digging the new windows 8, but I'll have to wait a few years on that one.  Too soon to replace my laptop.   As I mentioned, I am not unhappy with my iPhone, just kinda itching for something new and different.  A lot of my devices are getting kinda old.... Although they all work just fine.  ;-)

  • My iMessage not working properly on iPad.

    I just got a new iPad to go with the iPhones that me and my wife have.  When I send a message using iMessage to her iPhone it show up as if she sent it to herself. When she replies it show up on my iPad/iPhone as if I sent it to myself, so all the correspondence show up on the right side in blue and the devices don't alert us that we received a message. Also when I message someone else using she gets that too like we are in a group chat (and we are not). Ideas?

    nah, you can double check settings>store if the common appleid is still there, that's the one that is used for the download in itunes store. You can have a different appleid for iMessage, and even a third one for iCloud if you wish!

  • HT4972 I can't get my IMessages to work on my iPad? Wondering if I'm doing something wrong. Error message says recipient is not registered but I know they are.

    My iPad is updated, so I'm not sure whats going on.

    you will have to restore the ipad to default settings. this happened to me when i was trying to add my friends apple id . he was not registered then. after he registered i tryed it again but got the same error. restore is the only option you have.

    My iMessage stopped working on my iPad but still works on my phone. I restarted it but that didn't help

    Not working either way? Do you still receive messages? If you remove them but can't send them check Settings>Messages>Show Subject Field. Set it to off.

  • Ipad mini headset has never worked.

    I have a brand new ipad mini less than 2 months old... Plugged in my  headset and wont work and has never worked. The ipad mini has been in an otterbox since day 1 and yet customer service is giving a run around instead of investigating the issue. How can you look at the ipad mini and say I see a scratch on the outside so it has physical damage?

    Hi
    I had the same experienced before and had mine changed for a new Set.
    Hope this is possible on your end and of cos has be still under Warranty - 1 year if no extended Apple Care ...
    Cheers

  • IMessages stopped working after installing Messages Beta!

    tried sending iMessages, never worked
    whats worse is my iMessages on my iphone & ipad stopped working too!
    I can no longer send/receive iMessages!
    what is going on????

    @eggimage, it says you must be on 10.7.3 - your signature says you're on 10.7.2 - has that maybe got something to do with it?  Just a guess...
    I keep getting the "The server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later." thing, even though my time is set automatically and my hosts file is correct and I'm not running little snitch or anything like that (only growl and drop-box) and my certficate store is fine too.
    Any ideas anyone?  Running 10.7.3.
