Ipad iMessage question

My ipad iMessage only lets me send and receive from email addresses. How do I enter the ipad cellular number so that I can be included in iPhone users group text messages.i do not have an iPhone so I am trying to receive the group texts on my ipad. So if people text me using the ipad phone number I should get the message right? But when I go to send and receive under iMessage it only lets me enter an email, how can I enter a phone number. Thanks!

  • Is there a good texting app for a Macbook air that will sync with my iPhone and iPad iMessage and SMS?

    is there a good texting app for a Macbook air that will sync with my iPhone and iPad iMessage and SMS?

    Hey bishopcheen,
    Great question! Apple has announced that these features are coming in iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite. For more information, check out the “Messages” section of this page:
    Apple - OS X Yosemite - Apps
    http://www.apple.com/osx/preview/apps/
    Messages gives you so many ways to start a conversation. When your iPhone is nearby, you can send a text message from your Mac to groups of friends, even if they use SMS. Or send a photo of your epic karaoke birthday party, then follow it up with a Soundbite audio clip of your encore performance. With Messages, it’s not just what you say, it’s however you want to say it.
    Now every message on your iPhone appears on your Mac.
    Messages on your Mac has always been a great way to stay in touch. But friends without iMessage couldn’t be part of the conversation. Well, now they can be. All the SMS and MMS messages you receive on your iPhone now appear on your Mac. So you can text any friend without picking up your iPhone. And the conversation stays up to date across all your devices.
    iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite are coming this fall. I hope you are as excited as I am!
    Thanks,

  • My ipad imessages are coming up on my husband's iphone. Is that because we share an apple id account. How can we have separate apple id's and still share the same music library.

    my ipad imessages are coming up on my husband's iphone. Is that because we share an apple id account. How can we have separate apple id's and still share the same music library.

    The biggest problem I have is with cross texting. My friends send my a imessage on ipad to ipad and it comes up as message on my husband's phone as well as my ipad?
    My friends definitely do not want my husband seeing their texts. (and I dont really need him to see my responses either)
    Also, apple id is based on my email account, how do I create a new apple id without setting up a new email account?

  • Texts send from a 3G ipad "imessages" app could deliver to a normal cell phone?

    Lost my iphone last month & planning to buy a ipad2 to instead as I just need the SMS message function but not phone conversation function.
    So, could SMS send from a 3G ipad "imessages" app could deliver to a normal cell phone or a blackberry which doesn't have any iTune apps?

    What I want to know is doesn't ipad 3G could perform SMS function like an iphone?
    The only answer anyone here could give you is, "because Apple didn't include that feature."  Submit your feedback directly to Apple requesting that feature using the appropriate link on the Feedback page:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback
    You can also use one of the many texting applications found in the App Store. They work over data so they don't require a texting plan.

  • Will selecting 'Delete Account' in iCloud setting on iPad delete the AppleID account, or just delete it from the iPad in question?

    Will selecting ‘Delete Account’ in iCloud settings on iPad delete the AppleID account entirely, or will it just delete the AppleID from the iPad in question?
    I am trying to resolve a problem where someone tried to set up a second iPad on the same Apple ID account. I have partially solved the problem by creating a new Apple ID for the second iPad, but when I went to change the iCloud setting, my only option to change it was the 'Delete Account' button. I just want to make sure that I'm not going to accidentally delete the old Apple ID account because the fist iPad still needs to sync to that ID.

    From the iPhone only.

  • HT3529 IPAD imessage is Frozen????

    Ipad imessage has frozen and will not unfreeze.
    Tried resetting.
    Hard resetting.
    And it is still frozen.
    How do I clear this or reset it?
    I tried the usual reset methods I read online but they did not work.
    HELP me please....

    Here's the answer
    Close the iMessage app on the Task Bar
    1. Double-click the Home button to reveal Task Bar
    2. Hold iMessage app down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
    3. Tap the minus sign to close app
    4. Tap area above Task Bar to return to Home screen
    5. Go to settings, iMessage and turn it off
    6. Hold down the power and home buttons at he same time til you see the apple logo then release them(this may not be necessary, but it's what I did)
    7. When the ipad powers back on, open iMessage using the iMessage icon, DO NOT turn it on in settings. It will ask you to login follow the steps and iMessage will be restored. Personally after this I deleted the last message that was very large with 21 photos in it(which I believe caused the problem) and then the rest of my old messages. This worked for me and no more problems since, good luck!

  • Ipad imessage ios 7 mobile number

    Hi,
    there`re some tipps to be able to receive on an iPad imessages sent to tne mobile number. But they don't work with iOS 7.04. I would like to have conversations sent to my mobile phone number on the iPad as I have them on my iMac. Any solution?
    Thanks in advance from Germany

    Hi,
    to be very precise: switching iMassage off and on doesn't help. This is what I did first. But when signing off from the account on the iPad and than signing in to the account again (I`m trying to translate from German to English: settings --> messages --> send & receive --> account --> sign off/on) the issue is solved. I found the hint somewhere at Apple support sites...
    Thanks again from Germany
    Olaf
    Yes, that's what I told you to do.....

  • IPad iMessage problem

    I removed a contact from iPad iMessage and subsequently lost all of the messages linked to that contact. I didn't realise this would happen and I need info from within those messages. Is there any way of retrieving them? I have an iPad Air.

    Hi tp1969,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    If your iPad was backed up to either iTunes or iCloud, you can restore from one of those backups to recover that conversation. Please use the attached article for information on the restore process.

  • I don't understand the imessage question when setting up my iPad Air

    What is the question asking and how do you answer it?

    IIRC, you are being asked if you want to associate email addresses and your iPhone number with iMessages and Facetime. If you don't care to use either app, you can deselect email addresses or skip that step and set it up later. If you want to use Messages and Facetime, and you do not have an iPhone, you have to use an email address as your contact at address for both apps. You can associate multiple email addresses if you want to do so.
    If my assumption is incorrect or if my memory failed me, please be more specific.

  • Restore to new iPad- iMessage phone number is wrong

    I lost my  wifes iPad 1 to the band of grey. Purchased anew iPad 4 for me, restored my iPad 2 with the iPad 1 backup .everything worked except that the phone number is not updated. How do I change the number in iMessage?

    Hey michaelfromgreenwood,
    Thanks for the question. The phone number that appears in iMessage settings is going to depend on an iPhone that is associated with your Apple ID. For more information, see this article:
    iOS 6 and OS X Mountain Lion: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
    Phone number missing on iPad or iPod touch
    If your phone number is not listed on an iPod touch or iPad, follow these steps:
    1. Update to the latest version of iOS.
    2. Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you are using on your iPhone.
    3. On your iPad or iPod touch, sign out of your Apple ID in the following locations:
              - Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
              - Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    4. Sign in to your Apple ID with FaceTime and iMessage.
    If your phone number is still not listed, follow these steps:
    1. Sign out of your Apple ID on all iOS devices, including your iPhone, in the following locations:
              - Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
              - Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    2. Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
    3. When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Receive At and also in Settings > FaceTime.
    4. Now sign in to your Apple ID on your other iOS devices.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Attachments problems with iMessage - Question marks, empty attachments

    Hello,
    I am having a new problem and am looking for advice.  I'm using iMessage across multiple devices - iPhone 6 on iOS 8.1.1, iMac on OS 10.10.1, and iPad Air on iOS 8.1.  I recently, within the past two weeks, upgraded my OS on the iMac to Yosemite.  The problem is that all the attachments... pictures, videos, vCards.. are showing as empty attachments in my iMessage history.  I often refer to my message history for these pictures and files, and the files are not showing any more on my phone.  The images show an outline with a question mark and the vCards don't open at all.  Interestingly, I upgraded my wife's macbook air to Yosemite in the same time frame and she is having the same problem with her iPhone on iOS 8.1.  The craziest part of all this is that the attachments all show up just fine when I open messages on the iMac.  However, I rarely use messages on the iMac so having the attachments there is of no use to me.  I need to be able to see the attachments on my phone.  I have tried logging out of iMessage on my phone and on the iMac.
    I have searched the boards for answers and have not found a concise answer.  Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Logan

    Bump.. Any help would be awesome.  This problem is driving me nuts.
    Thanks,

  • IPhone 5s Password and iPad App Question

    Hello,
         I was interested in purchasing my first smartphone and was thinking of getting the iPhone 5s. But I have a few questions I would like to ask before making a decision. Can you run an application (from iTunes) that is for an iPad and run it on an iPhone if the IOS version requirement is high enough? I am hoping I can run the "MyTunesProHD" App which requires IOS 4 or higher. It says that it is compatible with the iPad. But I would like to know if it is also compatible with the iPhone since it is higher than IOS 4.
    My next question is concerning the Fingerprint Touch ID feature with the iPhone 5s. Does it have the option of using a standard password like the older iPhones? Or is it Fingerprint Touch ID only? If it is Fingerprint only I will choose a different phone (currently considering the iPhone 5 and the Samsung Galaxy S4 as an alternative). Personally I don't like the idea of using my fingerprint.
    Regards,
    Joshua.

    Hi Joshua,
    The MyTunes Pro app in the iTunes app store shows that it is compatible with both the iPad and the iPhone. So, if the developer has made it compatible with iOS7, then you would be able to use the app you have already purchased for both devices.
    You do not have to use the fingerprint security if you don't want to:

  • Master iPad configurator question concerning cart syncing with different versions of iPads.

    I have a question concerning configurator syncing.Can the master iPad be a different version of iPad than the other synced iPads? For instance can iPad 2 be the master iPad to a group of iPad Air's? The iPad 2 has some fewer capabilities than the Air, would some settings or restrictions be left off of the iPad Airs if they were set up this way?  Thanks.

    There is no such thing as 'master iPad'.  If you're using Configurator or Profile Manager control of the setup is done from a Macintosh.
