IMessages error on iPad

I have an iPad and an iPhone, and I decided to change my phone to an android. Now when people who have iphones text me, their phone say it went out as an iMessage to my iPad, I never recieve a normal text on my phone. How can I delete the number from my iPad? I have reset networks, deleted iPhone from my account, and still! When I open my iMessages on iPad it still show the phone number...

You cannot Message with an Android phone. Your friends will not be able to text you with the messages app. You should be able to receive and send SMS messages just like you would do with one cell phone to another cell phone, but they can not text to you with the Mesaages app to the phone.
Go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>you can be reached by iMessage at>uncheck your phone number and put a checkmark next to your Apple ID email to use as your contact address for messages.

    Hey joshuafromisr,
    If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    or here:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

  • Trying to get iMessage on my iPad. Getting an error message saying no network connectivity

    iMessage on my iPad is not working. I get an error message say no network connectivity. Why is this happening?

    Firewall issues? See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4245

  • TS2755 I'm trying to activate iMessage on my iPad 2 - I keep receiving an error message saying I need to check my connection even though I am already connected through wi-fi and the connection is strong. Please advise.

    I'm trying to activate iMessage on my iPad 2 - I keep receiving an error message saying I need to check my connection even though I am already connected through wi-fi and the connection is strong. Please advise.

    Possibly there's a firewall in the router.  For reasons that I do not understand, that will affect IOS (iPod/iPad) communication but will not affect computers or other devices.
    You will need administrative access to the router.  If a firewall is present, turn it off and test the iPod again.  If it works, turn the firewall back on but weaken it a notch and test the iPod again.  Repeat as required.

  • HT2534 How can I re download iMessage on my iPad?  I deleted it by error cause it froz up on me.

    I was having problems with my iMessage on my iPad, freezing up. I deleted the app for it by error. I went to the App Store and the iMessage apps don't look like the one that came installed on my iPad.
    How can I re install or re download it? 
    Can I use other iMessages from the App Store and will they work with my iohone??

    You can't delete it because it's built into the iOS.  Check all your screens and inside all your folders.  You can swipe your screens to the right to bring up spotlight search and search for "Messages".  If the app is inside a folder, the folder name will appear to the right of the app icon. If after searching you still can't find it go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.  This will restore the home screen to its original configuration but may move other apps around to do so.

  • HT1222 Having a problem with iMessage on my iPad mini.

    Bought my Ipad from the US & presently using it in Nigeria.I'm having a problem with iMessage on my iPad mini, I've been trying to activate it and I've been receiving an error message saying my password is incorrect which I'm pretty sure isn't because I still buy apps on the iTunes Store with it. What can I do?

    Have you looked at some of the 3rd party apps that will do this for you? Some of them are iPodAgent for Windows, copypod, yamipod. Most of them can be found on versiontracker.com, if not try to "google" them. Also, if you have purchased music, you can now import that off your iPod to your new system. Hope this helps.

  • Can't activate iMessage on my ipad

    Trying to activate iMessage on my ipad but every time I sign in I get a msg "An error occurred during activation. Try again."  I've "tried again" several times, no luck.  My apple id works fine for iCloud, App store, etc.

  • Why does iMessage on my iPad not accept my network connection?

    When I try to sign in to iMessage using my apple ID password I get a message that says "Could not sign in.  Please check your network connection and try again."  The iPad knows it is connected to my wifi network.  What can I do?  It had been working previously.

    Hi joegez,
    If you are having issues with activating iMessage on your iPad, then take a look at the article below. You will want to check the settings on your iPad like Date & Time as well as the Wi-Fi settings. If after about an hour you are still stuck then you will need to contact Apple to get to the bottom of it.

  • IMessage activation on iPad - unable to verify email

    I have just upgraded iOS on both my iPhone 4 and iPad 1.  iMessage on the iPhone is working fine.  When I try to activate it on the iPad, I've been getting the error message: "Unable to verify email because it is already in use."
    When I first started the iPad after upgrading the iOS, I entered the Apple ID/password combo that I have used for my iPhone (which is the same as my MobileMe ID/PW).   This is the only ID/PW that I have been using with Apple.  I was under the impression that you could use the same email address for both devices.
    Would someone kindly advise.  How can I set up iMessage on the iPad?  What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks!

    Sorry never mind, my mistake!
    Have 2 apple id's, and was using the wrong one!

  • Why can't I get my iPad and iPhone to sync my iMessages.  The iPad comes up with check connections

    I have tried to sync my iPad with my iPhone.  I follow the steps and when I go onto iMessages on the iPad it won't let me sign in it keeps coming up with to check connection and try again

    Hey there Dora,
    It sounds like you are unable to sign into your iMessage account becuase of an error message telling you to check the connection. I recommend these troubleshooting steps from the article named:
    iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4268
    If you see "Could not sign in, please check your network connection and try again" when signing in to your Apple ID
    To resolve this issue, follow these steps.
    Update to the latest version of iOS.
    Verify that you have a data connection by going to www.apple.com in Safari. You can complete Apple ID activation using Wi-Fi or a cellular data connection. If you need help connecting to Wi-Fi, follow these steps.
    If you're using Wi-Fi, make sure that your local Wi-Fi network is using the recommended Wi-Fi settings.
    Sign in to your account and ensure that the primary email address and alternate e-mail addresses have been verified. If verification is pending, follow the instructions in the email Apple sent to that email address to complete verification. Or remove the e-mail addresses from the account.
    If your Apple ID isn't an email address, you can change it. The Apple ID that you're using to activate FaceTime or iMessage must be an email address. Find more information on how to change your Apple ID.
    Tap Settings > General > Date & Time. Make sure that your iPhone is set to the correct time zone. If Set Automatically is on but the wrong time zone appears, turn Set Automatically off and choose the correct time zone, date, and time.
    Enable iMessage and FaceTime while connected to a different Wi-Fi network (in a different location) if a cellular data connection is not available.
    You can see that you've activated FaceTime and iMessage with your Apple ID by following these steps.
    Tap Settings > FaceTime > You can be reached by FaceTime at:
    Tap Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You can be reached by iMessage at:
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
