Does iMessage work only with Cellular data, without WiFi, on iPad?

Hi,
I am unable to send iMessages (to iPhone from my iPad).
I am not connected to WiFi. And only use Cellular data..
Is it compulsory to be on WiFi to send iMessages?
When I try to send, it shows an error message: iMessage is not Delivered.

I understand the the iPad can't send SMS, it is not a phone, and SMS uses the voice connection not the data connection. iPad has only a data connection.
Thanks for the responses. I am inclinded to believe that the carrier has no control over the data being sent and that it couldn't stop Messages (or any other app) even if it wanted to and I really really hate trying to call and speak with Verizon. Really hate it.
Put that together with my experience that if something is supposed to work, but doesn't it is probably me. I'm still thinking that my friends and I all have something not set right, but what?
The correction steps talked about all assume that if Messages works with Wi-Fi it will work for cellular. Messages works just fine when I have Wi-Fi, but doesn't work when I'm on Verizon LTE cellular data. Should Messages show up in Setting >> Cellular Data >> Use Cellular Data For: ? I get the feeling that since it doesn't appear here as an app that can use cellular data, it can't. So the question is, how can I get the Messages app to use cellular data?

Hi,
The movie is probably MPEG format.
QuickTime Pro and iMovie cannot transcode audio contained in MPEG movies.
Try to convert with SimpleMovieX or MPEG Streamclip instead.

Hey guys , i have a little problem with the imessage , it woks with some friends

the i message works good with some friends & it turns to sms with others althought they have also iphone 4s & they use it good with others, but we both cant use it together , it turns to sms . but with others it works good . any help ????????

I've run into the same thing. Some text messages show up on my AT&T bill even though they were between my iPhone and another iPhone (or other iDevice) also running iOS version 5 or greater.
According to this Apple help document - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3529 - the iMessages protocol works between two iDevices that have WiFi or 3G connectivity, otherwise SMS or MMS will be used. The document doesn't specifically say, but I assume that means if one of the iDevices has a poor cell signal and drops down from 3G to Edge or a lower level of connectivity, then SMS or MMS will be used.

TCP works only with IP right?

TCP works only with IP right? Then if I want to communicate with a devise that does not have an IP (my television) I cannot use TCP right?

Why would I post without being 100% correct:
Just trying to point out at a high level that if you use something else to move the TCP then you'll eventually have to implement the functionality that IP gives you.
To those that insist that you HAVE to use IP to move TCP, the answer to that is NO! That's like saying that IP has to use Ethernet. You don't. All IP provides is addressing and routing.
An example of an IP alternative is TULIP: http://www.techiwarehouse.com/cms/engine.php?page_id=2b7e10ac
A network diagram that uses TCP and NO IP:
http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/cache/papers/cs/4058/ftp:zSzzSzpaul.rutgers.eduzSzpubzSzbadrizSzitcp-tr314.pdf/bakre95itcp.pdf#page=5
(ejb, please refer to your own post about misinformation.)
The port is in the TCP layer. Sorry, wasn't thinking there. Actually what I was thinking about is how more expensive NICs can decide if it should look past the IP header of a packet. By being able to ignore IP addresses it is not assigned it can save CPU time. Checking to see if it should listen to a port would be cool too, but that would take too much. A machine will only have a few IP addresses (at least one in the class A,B,C range, maybe a multicast address, at least one broadcast address) which wouldn't take much to store in the NIC. Listening to 1000s of ports is not unheard of.
For the author:
I'd design your chat program with two basic interfaces in mind. There will be guaranteed delivery and best effort. TCP gives you a grantee that either the packet gets to the receiving station or the sender gets an error. That's great until you want to talk Bluetooth.
Bluetooth, IR, and Serial comms are all basically the same in the WinTel world. You talk to them over a COMM port. Here you have no guarantee of delivery. Thus in the old days of downloading you had to use a protocol like ZModem to transmit files and make sure you got them all.
You'll need to implement you own guarantee of delivery for these. Basically look into what TCP provides and implement something similar with Java. Checksum, sequence number, and acks.
When you implement your chat, part of your own "network stack" would decide if it needed to transmit service guarantee information with the data at the application level or not. There is no point in incurring the overhead if TCP is being used.
UDP may work, but I don't trust it past a LAN. Some UDP packets will always be dropped by a router. One example is broadcast packets. I doubt any admins will let a broadcast come into their router. Also, because viruses propagate by broadcasting, a lot of admins may limit them to the subnet of the host. UPD is real good for streaming audio. Something when if you lose a packet you don�t want to recover it. If you�re listening to a game on the radio and there is a lightning strike. Would you rather hear the pop and still be in sync with the broadcast or do you want to fall a second or two behind �live� coverage? I think that UPD packets are more readily dropped by a congested router. That's working on the theory that "If the application doesn't care about the packet really getting there (it would have used TCP) then why should I when I'm too busy."

I upgraded my iphone to 5.0.1 and ever since, it has decided to delete old text messages. Only with one contact though, not everybody. So for every new text message I send this person, an old one gets removed. Why? I don't want this to happen.

Connect the phone directly to the computer, not a hub.
Disconnect all other USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
Disable your firewall
Disable your antivirus
In iTunes if it recognizes the phone click "Restore"
If it doesn't recognize the phone:
Disconnect the phone from the phone end, leave the USB cable plugged into the computer
Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until the screen turns black, excactly 10 seconds, then release the SLEEP but continue holding the HOME (If an Apple logo appears you have held SLEEP too long; do it over)
While holding HOME connect the cable to the phone
As soon as iTunes recognizes the phone release the HOME button and it should restore.
If neither procedure works note the exact error message and post it.

M200: Processor works only with 600MHz - Why?

I have observed that when you change pcb set for a laptop irrespective of the processors speed it runs at slowest that is 595/598 MHz.
Have you observed this? What is the reason behind?
What is the solution?
If the processor is having 256MB/512MB RAM this things wont affect a large but for 1GB & 2GB the machine performance become very problematic.
I have tried updating DMI this didnot helped.
Re-installing os also didnot helped.
BIO upgrading also didnot helped.
I'm also not very sure about this problem having any relation to pcbset change.
With the good machine I have found the way is dynamically switching capabilities of a processor from bios.
In few machines that are giving problems i didnot observed this option in BIOS.
The machines are PortA200 & Port M200(tablet).
can any one help me. I need to justify this to customer.
Thanks & Regards

Hi
This issue occurs after motherboard changing. Usually after mainboard changing it is very important to make any tests and diagnostic procedures. Without this procedure the CPU will work only with fixed 600 MHZ.
You should contact the Toshiba service to solve this CPU issue.

HI,
We had a similar problem while creating a NCR.You can give this one a shot. Just see whats the "Tax Code' for the supplier that you have entered while creating the NCR.Try changing the tax code for that particular supplier and see if it is working fine.

The Smartbookmarks page refers to this add-on in its place:

I have no idea if it's basically the same or anything about its reliability.

Hi! is it possible that Logic X has upgrades that work only with mavericks and does t work in mountain lion....since in my macbook pro with mavericks i have new views of the equalizer, etc and in my mac pro with mountain lion it still the old view...

Any OS version of 10.8.4 or later has all features that are not OS depended. The plugins are one example. You probably haven't updated all versions of Logic Pro X to the latest one.

That's correct. PCG is only for Oracle EBS.

Pavillion dv6-3216us win7 clone hard drive worked only with HDClone 4.1

Pavillion dv6-3216us win7 64bit clone hard drive worked only with HDClone 4.1 tried many others that seemed to work but not boot.
cloned to WD 750 GB took about 2.5 hours

The originals were over 3 yrs old low end consumer models and 'due' for retirement to less frequent backup duties.
The Black or Blue Caviar 640GB costs slightly more but also 10-15% faster.
I wouldn't worry about temps, but I would monitor them, and if necessary boost the fans 200-300 rpm to help out.
Make sure everything is SL versions now (DW 4.2).
Normally I zero a drive and reformat more than others, and definitely with new OS.

Imessage will not work with some contacts

Hi there,
I'm new to iphone and need help with imessage. I can imessage and face time my wife, although it's always a blue bubble wether I'm on wifi or not. My brothers has an iphone which will imessage sometimes but will never connect for face time.
Is imessage spouse to work only when both phones are in wifi? Is there any way to force it into an imessage rather then SMS? Vodafone nz have told me that every time I turn it off and on again, I am charged. Is that normal?
I've tried that anyway, I've tried rebooting the phone, it just does what it wants all the time.
Thanks for the help

1. Both devices have to be running iOS 5.*
2. Internet latency can delay iMessage connection. If you enabled "Send as SMS", the phone will switch to SMS if iMessage doesn't connect quickly. If you disable Send as SMS, more of your messages will go through as iMessage.
