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.

  • I can receive iMessage but not send from my ipad.  The send button is grayed out

    The send button in IMessage is grayed out.  I can receive messages but not send them.

    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 can only send messages to other iOS devices using their email address. Make sure the person you are sending has i message set up.

  • After upgrading to Yosemite (I don't have iPhoto anymore, only PHOTOS) my pictures will not import from my iPad or iPhone 5s or any picture from web, it shows "Database Error: failured to persist version"

    After upgrading to Yosemite (I don't have iPhoto anymore, only PHOTOS) my pictures will not import from my iPad or iPhone 5s or any picture from web, it shows "Database Error: failured to persist version".  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Sorry,
    Yes, the error message is exactly like that  ("Database error: failured to persist version")
    No photos will import at all.  I use USB to import from iPhone 5s or iPad 2. 
    About the difference?  iPhoto and Photos .  Are there two softwares?
    I also will like to merge and/or synchronize all my photos I had saved to iCloud backups, Macbook Pro,  iPhone 5s and iPad hard drives using iPhoto.  It's call iPhoto library.  At one point I turned off streaming. 
    Thanks again Larry HN.

    My imessage will not send pictures. What can i do?

    Perhaps some more detail on how you have Messages set up would help in diagnosing your problem?
    My response was simply to tell you that iMessage does work with photos in iOS 6.
    There could be a transient problem with the iMessage servers which is causing your problem.

  • Mail will not send from anywhere except home

    I am using mail with an external mail server. I have two accounts on the same server. For some reason when I send from my primary account at my house it works fine. If I am anywhere else it will not send email. The secondary account does not have this problem. any idea why this might be happening and how to correct the problem?

    if two accounts on the same server and one works, then you aren't having network issues.
    It's possible that a particular message you're sending is tripping blacklists. if the subject or content has the keywords that trigger a rejection, that might be your explanation. Use test emails..
    Next, I'd look to see if the accounts are configured the same. It might be that the server location works with your DNS at home, but when away, it doesn't resolve. Check to make sure the evil account matches the good one.
    If this is a large service provider (gmail, yahoo, aol) it shouldn't matter, but a small personal server might have different server side rules for each account. I run a server and it has the option to require that the mail come from the same domain as the account. That makes the account incapable of sending while the account owner is out of the network.
    Use the Connection Doctor (under the Window menu)
    Question: what is the service provider of the email account?

  • The volume logo will not go from my iPad 3

    The volume logo will not go from my screen even though I have not pressed it

    Did you try restarting or resetting 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.
    Reset 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.

  • My HP Envy 120 wireless printer will not print from my ipad.

    My Envy 120 series (E39A3C) will no longer print from my ipad. The day I installed it, it did print, but since then will not. As far as I know I have not changed any thing.
    It prints perfectly well from my PC and laptop.
    I have taken all the advice (I think) from the HP Help site, like switching off and on again, like Uninstall and then Install again. Nothing has made any difference.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    No problem, I hope my responses were helpful in some way. The claim code that was printed on the "Important Printer Setup instructions" page when you enabled web services is the printers unique email address, when you append it with @hpeprint.com. AS you have seen, when you send an email from your iPad tot his address with either text content or a file attachment it will print on your Envy 120 provided both the printer and the iPad are connected to the internet via your WiFi network at the time you send the message. Just in case you run into any issues with ePrint jobs being delayed or not completing, here is a support document that gives possible causes and solutions.

  • 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
    Jez
