  • 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).

  • TS4268 IMessaging on iPad mini to "iPod registered to email address" user

    I have an android phone and a Macbook air running 10.7.5.  I recently bought an iPad Mini and am trying to use iMessage on it.  So far noone with an iphone has responded to any messages I have sent!  so I am wondering if it is working….
    I have 2 Apple ID"s - one for itunes and one for icloud (but I don't use icloud).  My Apple ID for the ipad mini is linked to a non-icloud email address and my android cell #. When I go to the "receive at" option for messages on the iPad there is only one option - my Apple ID email address. I realise I can't use my cell# to receive iMessages as it is not an iphone, but why is there no  field to enter a phone number (if I did have an iphone) showing up?
    I want to iMessage from the iPad mini with someone who uses Ipod for iMessaging, but even though I use their registered-to-iMessage email address, when I enter it into the "To:" field, it turns red, and I get a message that their email "is not registered with iMessage".  I know they are already using it to iMessage other people so what am I doing wrong???

    Do you have another Apple ID? If so and if that is the email address that you are trying to add, it is not going to work.

  • Can you iMessage between iPad mini and a non-apple hone?

    Not clear to me whether an iPad mini can iMessage to non-Apple products. Or only mini to iPhone, another iPad etc?if, how to set up. Can't find way to enter phone #

    IMessages works only with other iOS devices and Mac computers running Mountain Lion or Mavericks.
    You can add an iPhone number to use as your contact address as long as the phone number is associated with your Apple ID. Settings> Messages>Send & Receive at>Yoy can be reached by iMessages at.
    If your phone number is not showing in that settings, sign out of Messages on the iPhone and the iPad Mini, then sign in again on the phone first and then the number should be accessible for you to use on the iPad.
    This kb article explains how to link your phone number to Messages and FaceTime.

  • New IPAD mini fails to connect to BTHUB3

    I have just recieved an IPAD mini and cannot get it to connect to my BTHUB3.  It also fails to connect to BTWiFi and BTWIFI-with-FON.  Both of my existing computers work ok with the Hub3.  I've checked the passwords I have been trying to use and they are correct.  Any ideas what is wrong?

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Extracting photos from imessage on ipad mini

    How do I get photos that are sent through Messages on an ipad mini to anywhere else? If I tap/hold on the photo, it says "Copy" but then I don't know where I could copy it to?
    Can someone help with this?

    Obviously the phone numbers must be linked with one Apple ID or they would not show up. This will explain how to add your iPhone number to the list and how to remove the others if you do not want them to appear.

  • Itunes 12 sync ipad mini fails

    Recently updated iTunes to the latest version. Today I tried to add albums and movies from my library to my ipad, unsuccessfully. Sync seems to start but nothing is added. In contrast the movies that were on the iPad even were deleted although they are clearly check marked for sync.
    This new version of iTunes appears to be pretty buggy, and the missing sidebar is the least that concerns me right now ...
    Thanks,
    Claudio

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

  • IMessage on iPad mini

    IiMessage activation error occurred during activation after updating to iOS 8.  I have gone into setting to enter password.  I have no other issues with my password in any other applications

    The problem might be that your Apple ID is not added in your friends' Contacts app as an email address. Just tell the, to add it.
    Hope that helped :)

  • 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

  • When I send a text using iMessage from my mini iPad, it selects a photo that I deleted from my MacBookPro (in Users

    When sending iMessages using iPad mini an old photo that I've deleted from my MacBookPro in 'System Preferences/User&Groups' pops up with each iMessage I send. Genius Bar said iMessage was pulling this from iCloud and they recommended I change the photo inmy iCloud account, which I did. This did not help. Where could iMessage be gathering an old photo that's been deleted? Has anyone experienced this? and if so, is there a solution/fix?

    I don't follow where this picture is appearing.  You have to go to some trouble to add a picture to an iMessage.  Might it be popping up from a contact name you are using that happens to have a picture associated with it in your contacts list?

  • IPad mini iOS 8 firmware fails

    I successfully upgraded by iPhone 5 to iOS 8 and then followed with my iPad mini.
    The iPad mini failed on firmware restore (lots of times). I took it to an Apple Store where it also failed.
    Just out of warranty so told hardware problem - no luck.
    I have tried to go back to iOS 7 manually and that also failed on firmware.
    I cannot get at my backup prior to the upgrade as iTunes only recognises my iPad as in recovery mode and want to restore first.
    I find it unacceptable that a 15 month old iPad can be rendered useless by an os update and be told 'out of warranty' no luck...
    Any thoughts ?

    All is not lost, you can get your iPad working again.  For some reason I had problems updating on my PC since 7.1.2 update, before that it worked great. Now it hangs up with each new update. So the key is manually download the firmware file, I put 3 sites below, worse case Google downloading iPad Firmware iOS8 and pick the right one for your pad.  Then Step 1 make sure you have the latest iTunes, Step 2 take the firmware and change the .zip to .IPSW.
    Step 3 Hard reboot the ipad (Power button and Home Button), Step 4 if no SIM (Wi-Fi Only no problem).
    Step 5 below is the KEY step, holding down the shift key and clicking on the restore in iTunes will ask you for the firmware file. Point to where you downloaded the file. The firmware should install, the ipad should reboot and then restore from your most recent backup.
    If you have a ton of apps (600+) like me, plan on a couple of hours for the final restore to finish.  As I write this my iPad mini is up to 36 Apps of 600+
    It works, and the other day while in the Apple store getting my iPhone 6+ I told one of the Genius guys how to do it as his device was messed up and he didn't know about this.  I really wish Apple would figure why this happens and fix it.  It almost seem like after downloading the firmware, it needs to go back to the Apple server for something, hangs and screws up the persons device. Once in that state unless you know to perform the Shift+Restore with downloaded firmware you are hosed.
    Good luck and I hope this get you back running

    How to Manually Restore iPhone Firmware
    Upgraded iTunes to the latest version available and rebooted our computer v11.4
    Downloaded the iPhone 4.0.1 firmware directly from Apple manually*** (Rename from .Zip to <IPSW)
    Hard rebooted the iPhone (press and hold both home and the power button until an Apple logo appears)
    Popped the sim card out of the handset
    Connected the iPhone to our computer and when iTunes told us it had detected a device requiring a recovery we shift clicked restore** (held down shift on the keyboard and clicked the restore button) within iTunes*
    We browsed to the location where we’d saved the firmware we downloaded in step 2 and left iTunes to do its thing with the iPhone
    When the iPhone rebooted having successfully applied the firmware we re-inserted the sim card, waited for the iPhone to tell us it was activated
    We ask iTunes to re-apply the most recent backup it had to the device, thus restoring configuration and content.

  • Does anyone know the failure rate of the original ipad mini?

    I've had four ipad minis fail in eight months.  Apple support replaces them with out any problems, but they never get back to you with the reason for the failure.  We are a retired couple and never take the iPads out of the house, and never abuse them in any way, but for some reason they just fail to turn on.  Anyone else having problems with their mini iPads?

    We have had the exact same issue. Just this morning, iPad mini #3 failed. But this time, I checked the receipt and we are 1 month over the 1 year standard apple warrantee. Not sure if they will replace this one, and to be fair, not even sure if I want another iPad mini.
    Essentially happens like this, battery is low, requires charging (nowhere near 0%) so we plug it in to the charger it came with. In the morning, it is unresponsive. I try to to the reset (holding power and main button down)- nothing.
    I have owned an abundance of apple products, 3 generations of iPhone, iPod, and a iPad 2. 6 other devices that all still work, without issue that are all older than this iPad mini.
    What are my chances apple with give me a refund?
