IMessage not working on ipad after updating to7.1

Since this past Wednesday (after updating to ios 7.1) neither of my kid's ipad 2s can use imessage to text either mine or my wife's iphones.
What can I do to fix this?
We can even connect to the imessage network with the ipads.
Keeps saying "check connection & try again"

You need to be connected to the internet.

  • ITunes Radio not working on iPad after update to iOS 7

    it shows its been updated and I can see the stations, but it keeps saying that radio station cannot be added
    or it will not even start...Ive rebooted it a couple times and even did a factory reset and it still will not play

    I would try and hold the power and home button down at the same time for 15 seconds or until device shuts off, then see if it works. If that does not work try resetting your device. If you do not want to reset it, contact Apple support.   make sure to back up everything on device!

  • IMessage not working on iPad after iOS 7 u/g

    I know this is on all the forums - somewhere, but my iPad has been stuffed as far as iMessage is concerned since iOS 7 was installed. It receives OK, but when you try to send, the send ribbon gets to around the 80% mark and it stops. Nothing I do has made any difference. Reset all the cloud setting, verified my connection, but nothing.

    Ok, so it's a known bug affecting a common function of Apple devices, right? Why the **** wasn't it checked before the release? And what the heck is taking so long? iOS 7 has been out a month now!

  • TS4268 iMessage not working on iPad and iPod after IOS7 update.

    My iMessage is not working on both my iPad and iPod. I have done everything the apple website has said to do and I don't have the options suggested. They just simply will not send. Can someone please help me fix it?
    My iPad is updated to IOS 7.0.2 and my iPod is IOS 6.1.2.

    Yes, I've tried everything, logged in and out of everything, re-synced the ipad....settings ar ethe same on both devices but the ipad does not message and the phone does.
    From what I have read I'm not the only one with this issue since the iOS7 upgrade.

  • App update not working on iPad after multiple tries

    Cannot get iPad to update apps after multiple update attempts.  iPad has 13 updates in list but none will update for "update all" attempts nor for individual all attempt.  When tap individual update shows "updating"but apps never actually update.

    IOS 6 WIFI FIX FOR NOW!!!!!
    The only quick fix for now is to reset your Network
    Setting/General/Reset/Reset Nettwork Settings
    Make sure you copy your password somewhere. I did so on  Notes so that i could copy and paste.
    This will work for a while but the problem keeps coming back in a day or so but at least its a quick fix.
    I have the problem on both my Iphone and Ipad 3 with IOS 6
    The only other permanent fix is to go back to IOS 5 which I had back when I tried IOS 6 bata and had the same problem which I thought Applw would have Fixed.
    Apple better get there act together or Android is going to Kick there *** SOON!

  • Facetime and imessage not working on ipad

    I updated to ios 7.0.2 and now my iPad iMessage and Facetime isn't working.  Also, my iPad used to sync with my iPhone and the iPad phone number would show up in my iPhone.  Now that's not happening either since the update.  I reset the ipad, started over from scratch and set up from the beginning but nothing...
    I have also watched YouTube video and follow the set up instructions but still no iMessage and Face Time.

    Try Reset all settings
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
    Note: Data will not be affected but settings will be reset.

  • Keynote remote will not pair with ipad after update to 10.7.2-bluetooth issue or remote app issue?

    Noticed keynote remote will not pair after updating.  Bluetooth light flashes a couple of times then goes off.  I'm wondering if it's a bluetooth issue or a keynote remote app issue.
    Any suggestions or remedies?
    thanks

    Then again, it may not.
    I've tried all the things recommended in the Apple KB article, and it doesn't work.  Mulderscully is right, in the recent iOS 5 upgrade, Bluetooth is not turned on (at least, its symbol is not visible) from within Keynote even if you turned it on in the Settings menu.  Posts in another thread recommended using another app to establish a Bluetooth connection between the iPad and iPod (I used Touch Rummy), then switching back to Keynote and Keynote Remote.  This does work for me, but it is an awkward workaround.  Shouldn't 'It just work'?

  • IMessage not working on iMac after iOS8 install on iPhone

    I installed iOS8 on my iPhone and my iPad but it seems to have caused iMessage to stop working on my iMac. It tells me that I cannot use my Apple ID for iMessage at this time !? Strange!
    I updated the OS on the iMac to the most recent update but the iMessage still does not work. It is giving me an error message to contact Apple support with a code number shown. I did that but since its sunday today nobody was available who would know how to fix it, which is VERY annoying.
    If anybody knows what to do could you please let me know.
    Thank You.

    There is no official public documentation of that alert as far as I know, but apparently it can sometimes mean that the same Apple ID is being used with the iTunes Store or one of the other Apple content stores, and the payment method is invalid. Sign in to the store and review your account. You do not, of course, have to provide any billing information to set up an account to use only with iMessage, as it's a no-charge service.
    Another possibility is that the primary or alternate email address is invalid. Search the Web for the phrase "My Apple ID." The top hit should be an Apple web page with that title. I'm not giving a direct link because such links are never to be trusted. Sign in and verify the ID.
    Otherwise, do as the alert directs. According to reports, you won't be charged for the support call if you select "Apple ID"—not the hardware model—as the product you're asking about, and cite the "customer code" in the alert as the "validation code" when you speak to the Apple representative. I can't confirm.

  • Imessage not working on iPad since iOS 7

    Very frustrated.
    Since the ios7 update my imessage and facetime on my ipad are not working, iphone is fine.
    I have reset ipad , i have forgot device on wifi and reset it. Ive read all advice here and nothing works. It tells me to check my connection.
    Im using my apple account ive always used im using the wifi i use on my phone , ive checked all my passwords etc etc etc
    Now im just frustrated as dont know what else to do... Please help.

    Try a Restart. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
     Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.

  • Notes not working on iPad after iOS 6.1.3

    After updating to iOS 6.1.3, Notes will not load on my iPad. When I click the icon, a blank note opens momentairly, then the app closes. Anyone else having this issue? It appears to be fine on my iPhone. Only the iPad seems to be affected.

    Tried that already. It doesn't work.
    The problem isn't that the app is frozen, it just blinks, then closes when you attempt to launch it.
    Thank you for the suggestion, though. I appreciate your willingness to help.
    I may try restoring my iPad tomorrow.

  • IMessage not working on ipad send button not highlighted

    Imessaging worked on Ipad before last update.  Tried turning on and off, tried resetting, I type message and send button not highlighted

    1. Messages on the iPad can only be sent to other iDevices
    2. They must also be registered with iMessage
    Note: The two above conditions must be met.

  • Why is my apple ID password not working on ipad2 after updating to iOS6?

    Why is my apple ID password not working after upgrading to iOS6?

    Who knows?
    Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Tap your ID and sign out. Reboot your iPad.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Go back to the settings and sign back in again and see of it works now.
    If it doesn't work, post back with some information that might help us help you. Describe what you are doing in some detail and it might let us better understand why this is happening.

  • AppleTv2:  HDCP suddenly not working on netflix after update

    I have had a working AppleTV2 for about a year and have been using netflix to stream movies.  After most recent update I can no longer stream due to HDCP error.  There are been no changes to the hardware (cables, TV, power, etc.)  This can only point to the update.  I tried to do a restore from Mac to the most recent update.  I took it into the genius bar and they tried to do the same thing.  No change, they only offer the $69 Service replacement.  I have tried changing the outputs, the hdmi cable and powering up in a certain manner.  None of these work?  Why is this suddenly not working?
    Thanks for any help.

    Interesting (albeit, odd) addition to this issue --
    on my work system (dual G5, decked out, 23" Cinema), the same issue started to happen after the QT upgrade... however in my situation, the movie would load, but then just sit there, frozen.
    The first time I saw this, I started to move my mouse across the web page, and noticed that every time the pointer would roll over a URL link or any other rollover type of object within the browser window (e.g., a link or even a tab or bookmark shortcut in the Safari toolbar) the movie would suddenly start and stop, but just for a fraction of a second. But yet, if I just leave my mouse sitting on top of the URL or rollover object, it does nothing. It appears to be directly related to the action of roll-on or roll-out from other objects on the page, or within the overall window.
    So basically, if I take my mouse and move it ridiculously fast back and forth over any one of these rollover items, the movie will play for a fraction of a second each time the pointer passes over the object and makes it highlight... something to the effect of watching a flip-book animation that stutters along.
    Very bizarre -- not sure what happened with the update, but hoping that there is a patch released soon. It would appear that it's conflicting with other objects within the window, or it's waiting for some action on another rollover-type of item that is loaded within the overall window.
