Why is the text I send to my husband only going to his iPad & not his phone?

My husband and I both have the 4s....just recently my texts to HIM do not go to his iPhone, but only to his iPad......why? have I accidentally done something I am unaware of? Why is it just to him and no one else? How do I fix this?

Are you sending the texts to his phone number or his Apple ID? It might be that the texts originated from your phone is to his Apple ID and not his phone number and his Apple ID was not registered for the Message app on his phone. So any texts to his Apple ID is not received by his phone.
Can you receive his texts? If yes, then reply back from what he send you and see if he can receive the texts.

HT5621 I only receive iMessage on my ipad not my iPhone, when looked in settings under messages then under send and receive only my email address is ticked and an unknown phone number not mine is present but grayed out not ticked ?

It's not my phone number under settings / messages/ send and receive, it's greyed out , not ticked and not changeable, so that's probably why iMessages only come into my ipad not my iPhone. Think it'll be the original phone number the phone had before my own number was assigned to it. How can it be changed?

Turn off imessage and turn it back on. Then check the settings again.
If that doesn't work, then you may need to restore from your backup, if that doesn't woirk then restore as new.

Why are my incoming texts only going to my ipad and not my iPhone?

Any suggestions as to why I can't see or add a phone number in iMessage on my iPad?
I've added my mobile number to my Apple ID which I thought would flow through to iMessage

When I try to use my TWC App on my iPad2, the sound is about 15 seconds off from the picture. This only happening on my iPad, not my phone or my computer. TWC said it's an Apple issue. Is there a fix?

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 and am trying to upgrade to 13 - getting error message that "file archive part" of Adobe 13 is missing. When I try to download installers for older products it only goes back to v7, not v5 what to do next?

TDFields you will want to ensure the 7z and exe file are in the same folder/directory. You can find more details at Find a download link on Adobe.com.

Send and Receive in iMessage only shows my AppleID and not my phone number. How do I add the phone number to where I can be reached?

Send and Recieve in iMessage only shows my Apple ID and not my phone number and I can't send nor receive messages from any other phones except iPhones. How do I get my phone number to show up so that I can send and receive SMS text messages and not just iPhone iMessage texts between only other iPhones?

Where is the Start new conversations from??? When I go to Send & Receive, there is no where to add or set to receive at my phone number. There is only a setting to Add Another Email and my Apple Id is already there. No place or way to add a phone number to receive at. I also have a lasting Waiting for activation... under iMessage ON but no place for my phone number although it shows up as My number under Phone.

Ipad not updating iphone calendar

IPad calendar is not updating iPhone calendar but iPhone will update IPad. Has worked fine in past but not now. Can anyone help?

Reset the device. If it doesn't work try removing your account and adding it again. If that doesn't work then try restoring the device to factory settings by pluggin into iTunes and clicking "Restore".

Want books on iPad, not on iPhone.

I've recently bought two books on my iphone ready to read on my iPad as the iPhone screen is too small. Got home and tried to sync the books but because I've logged into someone else's Apple ID recently, I can't have the books on my iPad for another 45 days. I don't actually want the books on my ipgone, I just want them on my iPad but out of convenience at the time, I bought them on my iphone. Is there no way I can get them on my iPad before the 45 days are up without having to purchase again?

Where has somebody else logged into their account and redownloaded their purchases, on your computer's iTunes or your iPad ?
If your computer then you should be able to redownload the ibooks directly on your iPad (as long as they're still in the store) via the Purchased tab in the iBookstore in the iBooks app.
If your iPad then connecting your phone to your computer's iTunes and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases should copy the books to your computer's iTunes library - does syncing them to the iPad not work ?

If i turn off wifi my phone only goes to Edge and not 3g by default?!?!

I have a very wierd problem with iphone. mine isn't about 3g reception, as i get eprfect reception. the problem is if i turn on wifi and am connected to a network, once i tun off wifi or get out of wifi range, my phone will automatically revent to Edge, and not 3g. i have to go into network settings and disable, then re-enable 3g, and then 3g works perfectly. even if wifi option is on but im not connected to wifi, this works fine. but if and when i connect to a wifi network, suddenly my phone starts reverting back to edge when i either turn off wifi or move out of wifi range. i then have to disable and renable 3g for it to default back to 3g
whats the deal here!! this seems to be a glitch in the system. anybody else facing this problem?? im on 2.1 and i didn't have this problem with any of the previous 2.0.1 or 2.0.2 and was getting eprfect 3g every time.

I think reverting to Edge when in sleep mode is by design.
It make sense when you think about it. Why would you need 3G data speeds for a phone that is sleeping?
But it should pop back to 3G when you open the phone.
I have another thread where ACTIVE Edge transmission streams block switching to Wifi.
This sounds like all part of the same problem. It sounds like Apple reverted to the lowest power radio when in sleep mode, but has still not perfected the switching upon awakening.
If you wake your phone, but do NOT slide the Un-lock slider till you see 3G/wifi it seems to work better. However, it it doesn't work in 6 seconds, its not going to work at all in my experience.
Switching to 3G is so time consuming (not only MY time to initiate it but also the time it takes to actually wait out the "No Service" to get to a 3G icon) that I use very little 3G at all. I'd rather have a solid Edge reliability and
wifi than a flaky unpredictable and very limited coverage 3G. I think I wanted a iPhone V1.5 (half way between V1 and V2. Keep the 3G, its the source of a lot of headaches on this board).
In 3 years it might be different as 3G spreads, but right now 3G is not worth the trouble and expense given the plethora of free wifi.

3G on the iPad not on iPhone!

Probably no answer for this one but I was surprised when it happened.
This is in my home and I do not get 3G on my iPhone so it goes to Edge.
Received the iPad two days ago and it gets 3G same location.
The only answer I can think of is the iPad has a more sensitive 3G receiver!

Excuse my previous post. There are 5 antenna, but only 2 are for 3G.

Photo Stream on restored iPad not matching iPhone or iPhoto

I have approximately 950 photos in my Photo Stream (PS) on my iPhone and in iPhoto. I had to do a Restore as New with the iPad and not it looks like just about 50 random pictures show up in my PS. I have tried turning PS off/on but that created duplicates of photos. I finally did an off/on and got just the 50 (non-dupes) back in my iPad PS but I would REALLY like the PS on my iPhone to be on my iPad as well (I thought that was the point).
Is the 30-day rule killing me? Anything else that could cause this?
Thank you in advance.
TC

I think it's the 30-day limitation. I've read that if you re-enable Photo Stream after restoring as you did on your iPad you only get the photos from the last 30 days. (Older photos seem to stay in your Photo Stream album on your device until you turn Photo Stream off, then turn it back on.)

IPad not recognizing iPhone purchases

I recently purchased a slew of ringtones and alert tones from the itunes store, but they do not appear in my 'purchased' section on my iPad nor in my list of available sounds, is there a way to get my ipad to recognize these purchases? I'd like to use the same alerts on my ipad without manually syncing both devices with my computer.

Ringtones are currently a one-time only download from the store. If they are on your phone then you will need to connect your phone to your computer's iTunes and then do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to the Tones part of your computer's iTunes library and you can then sync them to your iPad.
