IPad won't send message to number "not registered with iMes age" but iPhone 4 does! Why...

I often send and receive texts from my brother (who has a T-Mobile phone) but when I tried to send message to him with iPad2, it refuses and send "number not registered with iMessage" response. Now my iPad sends and receives me.ssages just fine with my and family member iPhones and iPad. What the **** is going on?

You can only send a Message on your iPad to another iOS device. Your iPhone, however, will convert the Message to a text message that can be received by your brother. This has to do withe the fact that the iPad is not a phone.

    The iPad is not capable of sending an SMS message so texts, pictures, etc., must go through iMessage.  The destination device must be registered with the Apple servers by turning on iMessage.  Therefore, the user with the iPhone must enable it for iMessage.

  • Why won't my iPad won't send messages?

    My iPad2 won't send message to person I just received from.  The send button is blue but not active. When I try to send to send a new message to another person their name is red marked with ! and the send button is gray. It won't accept any new name - alwayas in red with !.

    Figured it out. The iPad message box has two lines. The first says "Subject" in gray. If you type something into the "Subject" line, but don't type anything on the next line (which is for the message), the send button remains inactive. Try typing the message on the second line. Send button then becomes active.
    Now why couldn't Apple tell us that?

  • IPad 1 running IOS 5.1.1 not working with home WIFI, but everywhere else

    I have an iPad 1 supporting 3G and WIFI running IOS 5.1.1 and up to now it has worked great.  We recently had the cable modem in the house upgraded and the box included a better WIFI system than we had before.  After installation, all the laptops in the house worked great except my iPad.  One of the kickers is that when my wife came home with her iPad 1 running IOS 4, it worked great too.  And when I've gone to a hotspot, it also gets connected well.
    The symptoms are that the WIFI menu will see my home network as an option.  When I select it, I get a spinner and the left side bar will indicate that it is using that network, but the spinner never completes.  The upper left will mostly stay as 3G and will occasionally go to a WIFI setting, but nothing will connect.  If I tap on the details, I usually don't get DHCP connection and get an IP address.  Once in a great while, I can connect up and have access, but it is incredibly slow and usually fades off in a minute.
    I have tried turning off the iPad, resetting network settings, telling it to forget the network and try again and reset the iPad.  I have removed all security from the router, reduced down the encryption to WEP like the old wireless router and still nothing.  Of course the Cable company says it is the iPad problem and I tend to agree. 
    My next step is to erase and start over, which I do not wish to do if I don't have to.
    Any ideas?

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • I get an error message saying "is not registered with iMessage"?

    How do I sync my contacts, so I can send iMessages?

    Then you either have a network problem or a hardware problem or a corrupted hard drive. You might try:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    You can also try downloading from another computer on a different network connection.

  • IMessages in mountain lion not syncing with both mac and iPhone. Why?

    I either get someones imessage on my iphone or my mac, but not the same message on both. Anyone know why? I thought iMessage was supposed to "pick off where you left off... on all devices."

    I see now. OK, I do think I messed up the settings a bit. I have a @mac.com and a @me.com address with the same name. My Apple ID uses my @mac.com address, but I set up the Messages app on 10.8 to use my @me.com.
    I tried switching over to @me a while back because I wanted to reserve the Messages for close friends and family only. Now I see there is no way to turn off the "reached at" address for my main Apple ID @mac.com account. I'd prefer to use ONLY the @me (which is not my Apple ID), but Im guessing this is not possible.

  • HT1937 My imessage isn`t working properly from my iphone. what could be the problem? how can I found out? the internet is working and in ipad i can send message.

    My imessage isn`t working properly from my iphone. what could be the problem? how can I found out? the internet is working and in ipad i can send message.

    I have no idea what the "freezer fix" is, nor why anyone would think temporary exposure to cold will somehow fix a hardware issue with a 100% solid state device.  Also, actually freezing your iPhone may very well itself cause damage.
    If you dropped it and wifi immediately failed to work, the odds are you inflicted physical damage to it - perhaps the antennae connection internally.  You could try a simple reset and see if that helps, but if not, you need to take it into Apple for an evaluation and diagnosis.
    If it has internal damage, since you dropped it, your warranty no longer applies.  Apple does not repair iOS devices, the merely swap them for factory refurbished units (and send your damaged one back to the manufacturer in China for refurbishment or recycling).  You would ahve to pay the out of warranty replacement fee (look on your country's Apple web site, under support for the iPhone for fees).

  • IPad won't send emails but iPhone does. iPad message says server does not recognise email address resetting account makes no difference what else can I try?,

    My iPad won't send emails despite identical settings with iPhone which does work. " server does not recognise email address" resetting account fails to solve issue. What else can I try?

    Have you checked ALL the settings including the port assignments? Easiest way to get those back to is to delete the email account from the iPad then redo the email account. Usually the ISP providing the email account will have instructions on their web site.

  • Tried to send iMessage from iPod touch (5th generation) but continuously says "contact not registered with iMessage". The contact IS registered with iMessage, but won't send any messages to anyone.

    I have an iPod touch 5th generation (7.1.2) that has not been sending iMessages to other iMessage users. At first my iPod would not let me sign in to use iMessage, but I searched on different discussion boards that helped me log in. Now the trouble is not being able to send messages at all. I tried to delete the contact I was trying to message and restart the conversation board, but that didn't help at all. The contact continues to say 'xxxxxx not registered with iMessage" when, in fact, they are. I need help to resolve this issue.
    Thanks

    Can you receive Message?
    If so can you reply?
    Have you tried when connect to another network?

  • Mavericks Messages problem sending message: "not registered with iMessage"

    I'm on MacBook Air(MBA) and recently installed Mavericks. I try sending a message from MBA MESSAGES to a person's cell phone number (they have an android phone). Their name appears in red and I get: "...is not registered with iMessage." So I was trying to read discussions in here and allot of them say Messages won't work unless a person has an Apple device- iphone, Mac, etc. I want to know if that is true or if there is any other way to send from the MBA a message to them? I also tried from Messages on MBA to their gmail address, which they use on their android cell phone, and get same error.
    Is there anyway a non-apple person can "register with iMessage" if they have an android phone?
    I know I can email them, but I wanted a fast way for emergency purposes to get a MESSAGE to them from my MBA. Sometimes they can't talk on phone at some times, but are allowed to get instant message for emergency where they work.

    Hi,
    You have to have otr get an AIM or AIM valid name.
    AIM stands for Aol Instant Messenger.
    Apple IDs issued by Apple (Those ending in @mac.com or iCloud issued @me.com and @icloud.com) are valid as AIM Screen Names if the password is kept to 16 characters or less. (this is an AIM server limit)
    Apple made an Agreement with AOL over the use of names over 10 years ago.
    The Original .Mac ID (@mac.com) could be paid for  or could be Trial Accounts.
    Trial Accounts continued to work after the trial ran out. (i.e. the email stopped but the AIM Screen Name didn't).
    The same was true of lapsed accounts.
    When MobileMe started people could link, email-wise, their paid for .Mac accounts to the paid for MobileMe (@me.com) accounts.
    Any @mac.com still works over the AIM service.
    Now also @Me.com names worked - meaning some people had two valid AIM names - they are not liked for use with AIM just that the passwords will be the same.
    With the end of MobileMe all those @me.com account died as far as AIM is concerned.
    However you could link it to iCloud which effectively moved it to the iCloud server.
    (i.e. they are iCloud issued @me.com ID instead of MobileMe ones)
    Then Apple started to issue @icloud.com IDs
    This could mean that some people have three working IDs for use with AIM (but all linked to one email Account at Apple).
    NOTES
    From Lion onwards (iChat 6 and Above) Apple have had the app also login in to Apple before it will allow the AIM Servers to "read" the password.
    This applies to any iCloud issued ID - the "newer" iCloud linked @Me.com and @iCloud.com IDs
    This means you cannot use those IDs in iChat 5 or earlier as those version only do an one point login only.
    With the coming of iCloud other Apple IDs could be linked to iCloud which may have given you either @me.com and later an @iCloud.com ID as well or just an @icloud one if you were later to the party as it were.
    Whilst in some cases this does give you two valid AIM Screen Name the originating Apple ID does not become one.

  • TS2755 My ipad does not receive messages, the bubble in the green background. My iphone does.

    My ipad does not receive messages, the bubble in the green background. My iphone does.
    I can use my ipad to send messages, but it only moniltors the ones i send with the ipad. All the other messages I get on my iphone are missing.
    Any idea why?

    "The bubble in the green background" indicates the message was an SMS (cellular text) message.  If the background were blue, it would mean the message was an iMessage.
    The difference is important.  Your iPad is not a cellular telephone.  It cannot send or receive cellular text or MMS messages.  It is, however, an Apple device which means it can communicate using Apple's iMessage to/from other Apple devices (typically over WiFi).
