When I send an iMessage from my iPad it shows it came from my wife. Is there a way to fix this?

Are you using her Apple ID and email on your iPad? The Message app uses your Apple ID as the contact at which you can be reached.

Is it possible to send/receive imessages from different countries?

Is it possible to send/receive imessages from different countries?

Yes. iMessage works with any iOS device that has a cellular or wifi connection.
I would recommend disabling the "Send as SMS" option on your phone. This causes iMessage to switch over to SMS if there is an issue with iMessage & can result in your carrier charging you for international messages.

I reset network settings on my iPhone. However now it looks as if my iPhone and iPad are no longer linked. They are both connected to my apple account but when I send an imessage from one it is not picked up by the other. What do I do?

Check Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on both your iPhone and your iPad to make sure that the following are all true:
(1) you have selected the same Apple ID on both devices,
(2) you have the same entries checked under "You can be reached by iMessage at:" on both devices,
(3) you have the same entry checked under "Start new conversations from:" on both devices,
and
(4) that the entry checked in #3 is one of those checked in #2 on both devices.
When you say it has affected your iCloud account, what effect has it had?

Your message on your screen shows up blue if sent as iMessage or green if sent as regular text. If not connected to wi-fi or cellular data, iMessage isn't available to/from. Both of you need a data connection for iMessage to work.
But your message on the recipient's screen will show up white.

If I send an imessage from my phone on my email address, will it come up on my phone bill?

if i send an imessage from my email adress instead of my phone number on my iphone, will the text come up on the phone bill ?

Not if it is truly an iMessage - to/from another Apple device using the iMessage technology.
If it is an SMS or MMS message, that is a cellular text message, and yes, it would show up as part of your cellular carrier's service.

How to send an iMessage from an iPhone to an iPod touch?

Hi Guys,
I installed the new iOS 5 on my iPhone 4 and i was wondering if somebody could tell me how to send a iMessage from my iPhone to my iPod Touch.

to b very honest i think iMessage has been launched in competition to Blackberry BBM service.
But iMessage being an Apple product is far more advanced.
Also SMS and Email are two different things. cannot be discussed in detail here.
I know people who dont use email on their iphone just to save on data usage. so sending them an iMessage makes sense.
and now they save money on their message plan also.....!!

HT3529 I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

Wi-Fi is not required for iMessage. Internet access is required for iMessage which includes when the iPhone is connected to the cellular network.
If an iMessage cannot be sent, it will fail to send and you will be prompted to send as an SMS if text only.

Is there a way to send a message from my IPAD using a bluetooth keyboard?

Is there a way to send a message from my IPAD using a bluetooth keyboard? There must be a way, but for the life of me I can't seem to find the shortcut. I'm using Logitech 811 keyboard and have an IPAD 2.
Thank you,

Are you asking if there is a way to press "Send" from the BT keyboard as opposed to reaching over and tapping it on the screen? Not to the best of my knowledge.
Looking at the posts in the More Like the Box to the right, I did find this link. It's old and may not be valid or useful:

Choose File > New SMS.
In the To field, type your buddy’s phone number, and then click Chat.
In the chat window, type a message and press Return.If your buddy’s phone is set up to receive text messages, you see a reply telling you that the message has been sent. If your buddy replies, the reply appears in the chat window.

I am sorry, my english isn't very good.
Next try :) I send a iMessage from my ipad (wifi only) to a friend and he answers but i don't receive the answer on the ipad but on the iphone instead. Both devices using the same Apple ID (Settings>Messages>Receive At, same Adress on both devices). I tought iMessages are always received on bothe devices, like the advertisment says i should be able to start a iMessage conversation on ipad and finish it on iphone because both devices receive my iMessages... Thats not like it is on my devices, most times iMessages are only received from the iphone.

How can I send/receive iMessages from my iPhone 5 on my MacBook Air?

When I first got my MacBook Air (January 2015), iMessages updated automatically upon sign in to display all of my text conversations from my iPhone 5. I also used to see incoming and missed phone calls by default. As of the beginning of March 2015 when I sign in, my MacBook Air does not sync messages from my iPhone at all and I have stopped receiving phone related notifications. Also my MacBook Air is sending all messages from my email address as opposed to my phone number.
I've looked at the Messages help guides for send and receive SMS and activated text forwarding for my MacBook using my iPhone but this still hasn't helped with me being able to see my phone call/text activity on my MacBook as I was able to prior to early March. The iOS is up to date on my MacBook and my iPhone. I've also checked my iCloud and Apple ID and both display my phone number as an eligible send/receive address.
Was there an update that changed a setting? I didn't have this trouble syncing messaging and phone when I set up my MacBook Air for the first time so I'm not sure what else to try. Someone help!

Greetings jennamarie416,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you would like to use the Apple Continuity features such as phone calls and text messages on your Mac. In this situation, I would recommend reading over the attached article for more information on these features and to ensure that they are set up correctly.
Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support

Sending an iMessage from my iPad using bluetooth keyboard?

I have the Apple bluetooth keyboard paired with my iPad Air. I've been using it in iMessage lately and unlike iMessage on OSX Mavericks, pressing the "return/enter" key does not send the message. Is there a setting that needs to be changed so that my "return/enter" key sends the message? Or is there a keyboard shortcut that sends the message? Thanks!

I highly doubt if there will be a solution for this request under Apple iOS roadmap. I've asked the same request as you are. No solution up to this point.

How do you choose what account to send an iMessage from?

I have one account set up on iMessage, but it can accept messages sent to my phone number, email address, plus email aliases.
I want to retain this ability to receive messages on several accounts but I also want to force the system to send messages from my phone number, especially when using Share buttons elsewhere in the operating system.
My default account to send messages from IS my phone number, but every time that I send a file from somewhere else in the OS it sends from my email, so I'm not sure what's going on here.
Does anyone know a fix? Thank you

HI,
I understood from the first post but was not in a position to actually test it at the time
I went to my Contacts App > My Card and removed the iPhone number.
It syncs via iCloud to the iPhone.
I went to the iMessages > Preferences > Accounts > iMessages account and changed the bottom drop down to read "Start From" my iPhone Number.
In iPhoto I highlighted a Pic and then chose the Share Menu > Messages and typed in the iPhone Number.
This meant it should have appeared on the iPhone as a Stand alone iMessages "from Itself" effectively.
However it listed another Address Card that did not have the iPhone Number on it. (only the Apple ID in Use)
As you say, the Share option seems to override the Send From option in Messages itself.
One way it can be done is to disable the Apple ID in the Receive At list which then leaves only the iPhone Number.
This will send by the iPhone number.
