IMessages reaching iPad but not iPhone

Over the last couple of days, I have received iMessages on my iPad but not on my iPhone. I have tried logging in/out several times, resetting network settings and ensuring my home settings match those of my iPad.
I have an iPhone 5 and iPad 2, both on iOS6.
Can anyone suggest anything else I can try to ensure that my devices are syncing? At least one message was important and I'm frustrated that I didn't get it in time.
Thanks in advance!

That should have said "iPhone" settings not "home" settings.....

HT1420 delete app from ipad but NOT iphone

Want to disable an app on my ipad but not my iphone. Is there a way? One is mine and mine alone. The other (bill - not device) is paid for and monitored by my company.

You turn off iMessage on your iPad. When you block a number/Apple ID, that block will be synced across all iOS devices using your Apple ID.

Lyrics sync to iPad but not iPhone?

I recently added the lyrics to several hundred of my songs located in iTunes on my Mac. After syncing, I find that these lyrics all transferred over successfully to my iPad.
However, when I sync my iPhone, not all lyrics are getting transferred. Some songs on the iPhone are getting their lyrics added, but many are not.
I used various sources on the internet to obtain lyrics. But regardless of the source, I copy/pasted the lyrics text into each song's info within iTunes on my Mac
So...... why are lyrics getting to my iPad but not my iPhone?
I'm running iOS 7.1.2 on both devices. The iPhone is a 4S.
Thanks for any help.

For music or anything else you can select whatever you want to sync.
Open itunes, plug in ipad, go to the apps tab, select the apps you want, sync, unplug ipad.
Plug in iphone, go to apps tab, select the apps you want, sync, unplug iphone.
The same goes for music/photos/videos/movies/podcasts/contacts/calendars/tv shows
A review of the manuals for the devices may help:

Photo album on ipad but not iphone

I Have made an album on ipad but it didn't go to iphone ????

Albums that you create on one device do not sync to other devices. Photos in the Photo Stream will sync across devices but albums will only reside on the device on which they are created.

Itunes recognizes ipad but not iphone 5,

I have itunes 11.0.2 installed on windows 7. I can connect and sync my ipad 3 with no problems. When I connect my iphone 5, I hear the "beep" and it starts charging but itunes doesn´t open. When I open itunes manually, the iphone does not appear connected.
I have followed the steps in this article (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538) but the problem is not resolved.

Seriously? Nobody knows?

TS3899 Does anyone get "the message has no content." when using Yahoo mail? but i can always see the email on my Ipad, but not Iphone?

Seemed to have started once i went to Ver 7, but when i use my Ipad i can always see the email
in full?

I have this same problem on my iMac since installing Mavericks. The emails download, I can see who they are from and when they came, but nothing shows up in the message pane. I can see emails I got before I installed Mavericks, although about half of them did disappear. Sure would like to find a fix--perhaps the 10.9.1 update will do it?

Have recently upgraded to iPhone 6 with iOS 8. Microsoft exchange works on iPad but not iPhone. Details incorrect password but pw fine. any thoughts. Think is active sync issue

i prefer the ME interface to gmail and want to use push

Annoying glitches since IOS 8 + the update have rendered my iPad Air nearly unusable.....way too frustrating & annoying with many glitches plus some functions just go way too slow or even worse - don't kick in at all.....necessitating a reboot.....(especially with sending emails.....need to power down / power up to get emails to be sent way too often)......stopped by the apple store the other day.....they did their "thing" ( a reset + whatever)......told me I was now good to go & all problems should have been solved / fixed......was in a rush, so didn't really test the fix until later in the day.....same problems remained....no fix whatsoever.....
some videos in various "formats" won't play now......keyboard disappears while doing almost every "google" search.....the list of glitches goes on & on.....apple & I part ways now unless this is resolved soon.....will stop by the store one more time over the weekend & give them 1 more chance....& will "test" it in the store this time before believing whatever they say & leaving......also, never happened before - an incoming facetime call was never received the other day......my friend sent a screenshot of her history of calls to show that she tried when I said that I had not missed any calls......

Attachments in iMessage only comes through on iPhone/iPad but not Computer OR Computer and not iPhone/iPad

i wanted to post about a bug i am experencing on Messages app under os x mountain lion...
when someone tries to send me an imessage with a picture it only comes through to my iphone and ipad but not my laptop.. OR it will come through on my computer but not on my iPhone and iPad
This issue is intermittent it will basicly work when it wants to....
also upon closing imessage i get a message saying there is a file transfer in progress... when i review file transfers it shows any picture file that my friends have attempted to send to me but dont download.... It seems that the picture is trying to download but never does.
anyone else have this problem?

Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so.
Sign out of iMessage on the Mac: Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out.
Sign out on the iPhone: Settings ▹ Messages ▹ Send & Receive ▹ Apple ID ▹ Sign out.
Then, on the phone, tap Use Your Apple ID for iMessage.
Sign back into iMessage on both devices and test.

Why are my iMessages coming through on my iPad but not coming through on my iPhone. Can I have the texts appear on both devices.

I am receiving texts from my son's iPhone on my iPad but not on my iPhone. Can I receive the same message on both my iPad and iPhone?

Found a fix on another thread that seemed to work.
Go into Messages preferences and uncheck "enable this account." Wait a few seconds, then recheck it.
Also disabled and re-enabled imessages on my 4S just for good measure.
Hope this helps

HT201412 My text messages go to my ipad but not my iphone after upgrading to ios7.0.2, does anyone know a fix

My text messages go to my ipad but not my iphone after upgrading to ios7.0.2, does anyone know a fix

They are not text messages, they are iMessages.
Turn on iMessage on the iPhone.

Hate IOS 7, it is ugly and still has glitches, now I get text replies on my IPad but not on IPhone

What is going on with this latest update? I can text out but replies go to my iPad and not iPhone, and, yes iMessage is on...

turn imesage off and then on then try again
if that doesnt work
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. DONT CONNECT YOUR DEVICE TO A COMPUTER WHILE DOING THIS.
