Issues with iMessage on my iPad

I'm trying to hook up my iPad to iMessage but when I try and when I go to my iPhone > message> text messaging forward and use the slide to connect iMessage to my iPad, I'm told that enter in the code I should receive.  My problem is that the code isn't popping up anywhere that I can find on my iPad so I can't get it to work.  Help?

Go through the "To Use Continuity for SMS and MMS ..." section here:
Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support

  • Is any one else having issues with iMessages since iOS7?

    Since iOS7 I have been having issues with iMessages. They just stop sending and I have to re-start my iPhone or iPad to get these working again. This is happening to my friends as well on different networks but all on iOS7.
    Is any one else having this issue?

    They had the same issue with ios 4 when it came out and it was resolved with 4.0.1. Before I start the endless visits to noisy Apple stores, I'm hoping they will issue a fix for this and all the other bugs that are popping up.
    Hopefully if enough people bring it up it'll get noticed.
    Thanks,

  • Issues with iMessage!

    Hello! Like many other people, I am having issues with iMessage. I have an iPhone 5.
    It was working before, but sporadically. I would be able to send something as an iMessage, but the next day it would switch to text messaging, even though I have SMS/MMS/etc. turned off. Currently, it's telling me it's "waiting for activation" and that there's an error everytime I try and reactivate identities.
    I am currently in Turkey with all cellular data turned off (I will not be returning Stateside until end of June), but I do have access to wifi (which is what I've been using). I've tried a lot of the google fixes already (using it in airplane mode, doing a full reset of the phone, etc.), but nothing I do seems to work. It was activated before I left the US.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

  • HT1222 Having a problem with iMessage on my iPad mini.

    Bought my Ipad from the US & presently using it in Nigeria.I'm having a problem with iMessage on my iPad mini, I've been trying to activate it and I've been receiving an error message saying my password is incorrect which I'm pretty sure isn't because I still buy apps on the iTunes Store with it. What can I do?

    Have you looked at some of the 3rd party apps that will do this for you? Some of them are iPodAgent for Windows, copypod, yamipod. Most of them can be found on versiontracker.com, if not try to "google" them. Also, if you have purchased music, you can now import that off your iPod to your new system. Hope this helps.

  • Is anyone else having this issue with iMessages?

    Hey there,
    Is anybody else having the issue with iMessages or text messages, when you go back to the list of contacts… The search bar for messages shows it halfway every time?

  • Is anyone having issues with imessages disappearing or not being delivered?

    Is anyone having issues with imessages disappearing or not being delivered?

    I too am experiencing this on my iPhone 4 after upgrading to 4.3.3. I am fairly convinced that it is a software issue. The last update seems jumpy. There appear to be more pauses and stuttering with screen changes too.  Sometime the button operates perfectely (even with repeated light touches). Other times, it doesn't matter how hard I press; it takes several presses. I notice it more when i am using a battery case or connected to an AT&T MicroCell. I am having a hard time pinpointing problematic apps, although i suspect that mail with my work Exchange account may be a culprit. I suggest posting your issues on Apple's iPhone feedback page, www.apple.com/feedback/iPhone.html, to ensure that they are looking into this problem. If it is a hardware issue, I'll be pretty upset as I received my iPhone 4 on day 1 of availability and it is out of warranty. Hoping for a fix with an update. Please post on the feedback page.

  • Phone number issue with iMessage

    As relevant backstory, I have recently changed my cellphone number(July).
    With the new update, I can now iMessage between fellow iPhone users who have updated their phones. However, in order to iMessage them, they need to message my old cell number, and if they use my new number it just comes up as regular SMS. When a phone other than an iPhone messages my old number, the message does not come to me.
    In my settings, both my phone and message settings, my old number is still displayed, though there is no issue with incoming or outgoing calls with my new number, or texting, just with iMessage. I cannot change the number in messaging, as the number is greyed out, and when I attempt to add my new number to the contact for iMessage, it tells me it is an invalid entry.
    I have reset all my settings, as well as restored my phone(attempted to iMessage before reapplying my settings both times) with no success.
    I have spoke with my provider(BellCanada) in person and with their tech support, as well as I spent time with Apple technicians today. I am currently waiting for a message back from Apple engineers, but that won't be until next week when I hear from them.
    If anyone out there has any other suggestions or recommendations, that would be wonderful! Cheers!

    Hi, I am in Australia and olso had this issue with iMessage.
    I found the following procedure fixed it.
    On all my devices supporting iMessage, i did the following.
    Setting -> messages -> send & receive - > use your apple id -> sign out.
    then
    settings -> messages ->  Turn "iMessage" off
    settings -> Facetime -> Turn "FaceTime" off
    on my phone (where I had the original issue)
    ettings -> messages ->  Turned "iMessage" on
    waited two minutes for it to Verify and activate.
    I was then ablle to send iMessages from my phone, using my phone number as the orginating address.
    I then signed back in using my Apple id, and it was all good ;-)
    Setting -> messages -> send & receive - > use your apple id ....
    Hope this helps!

  • What is the issue with iMessage with iOS7?

    What is the issue with iMessage with iOS7?  I continue to have messages that are not sent.  Is there a config I need to modify since I went to iOS7 or is this "a feature" now?

    NO ! its not a feature. its a bug and Apple will fix it soon. Meanwhile if you continue to have problem the best way to overcome this problem is to turn off iMessages and use Text messages instead btw if you text alot, your carrier might charge you for it if you dont have unlimited text messages. So be careful !

  • Imessage issue with Iphone 5 and Ipad mini

    I recently upgraded my phone from the Iphone 4 to the 5s and ever since it was activated, I have stopped received imessages on my Ipad mini. iMessages used to be delivered to both devices. For some addional context, I have tried sending messages from my ipad and contacts report that it comes from my email address now rather than my phone number, however, I never made any changes to the settings the ipad, the only change was the activation of my new phone. I did go in to Settings>messages on my Ipad, and I message is on, and under send/recieve all I see is my email address, but it will not allow me to add a phone number. Can anyone help me? I'd love to have my messages be delivered to both devices again.

    log out of imessages on all devices.
    log back in on the iphone and wait until the phone number has activated.
    then log back into imessage on the ipad and then select to send and recieve from the phone number and to start new conversations from the phone number

  • Issues with iMessage when switching data carrier (wifi - cellular)

    So I have had this issue with my 5S and now my 6+ in iMessage. Not *always* but often enough I've run into issues sending messages via iMessage when I associate with wifi in that they don't send. I'll get an error message saying "not delivered" and it will stack as many outgoing messages I try to send. However, if I force the first message to send as text, subsequent messages will go through afterwards without issue. If I go from wifi to cellular I have no issues whatsoever and when I have these issues on wifi, my data works fine (incoming emails, Facebook notifications, etc.). I used to run cellular data only because I had unlimited but now I have a cap so I intend on using wifi when possible...but to have to send my first message as a text just so I can use iMessage is annoying...

    Hi there BigDogg795,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps for iMessage found in the article below. 
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
    To resolve issues with sending and receiving iMessages, follow these steps
    Check iMessage system status for current service issues.
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that you registered iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID and that you selected iMessage for use. If the phone number or Apple ID isn't available for use, troubleshoot iMessage registration.
    Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify data connectivity. If a data connection isn't available, troubleshoot cellular data or a Wi-Fi connection.
    iMessage over cellular data might not be available while you're on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn which network your phone supports. If your network doesn't support simultaneous data and voice calls, go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on to use iMessage while you're on a call.
    Restart your device.
    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
    If you still can't send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
    Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
    Make sure that the contact you're trying to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
    Back up and restore your device as new.
    -Griff W.

  • Performance Issues with Folio format in Ipad.

    Hello everyone! My FIRST post here!!!
    I work with educational games and I'm facing performance issues with games that I've made in HTML5 to play in Ipad. I tried to import them to the format folio in DPS (Adobe Digital Publishing Suite). However when I import the HTML game into Indesign and try to preview it in Adobe content viewer, the game doesn't open or works without perform properly (there is a lag that doesn't let you play the game with a little of fun).
    The games that I've created have a memory use max of 35mb and weighs 30mb max.
    Does anyone know what's happen and what I can do to fix that performance issue?
    Thanks a lot!

  • Apple TV buffering issues with iPhone 4s and iPad 2

    Hi all,
    I just got me an Apple TV 2nd gen (yeah, I know, ordered 2 days before the presentation of the new one). So far so good, the device is up and running, connects just fine to my Airport Express router and all.
    However, if I try to stream a video from my iPad (2) or my iPhone (4S), the results are quite horriffic. The iPad videos would buffer for a very long time before they start and then quite fast after that the buffering problems restart. It's pretty impossible to play a video fluently of more than 20 seconds. If I'd try from my iPhone it's even worse with videos being 1080p, the thing just never plays, eventually the preloading process stops on the mirroring mode is cut.
    I have to point out, all my devices are in the same room (WiFi) so the signal is the best it can be.
    This is honestly quite surprising AND disappointing to be honest, given I bought the device mostly for that, so I can stream videos from my phone and pad.
    Tell me, am I doing something wrong, or the video streaming over those devices is just a marketing gimmick with nothing real behind it?
    Would it matter if I change my router from Airport express to Airport extreme?
    Thanks!

    I have the same issue with ATV3 and iPhone 4S. Everything works properly, no buffering issues when watching netflix, vimeo, youtube BUT when I try mirroring even a small 15sec iPhone movie it stutters and buffers and results to a choppy playback..same with larger mp4 files such as 1-1.5GB, buffers forever and never plays, I just re-encoded the same movie to 700MB and plays perfectly..
    Why Apple, why?..so close..I can accept the bigger movie files issue, but not being able to playback properly an iPhone movie is funny..I recorded a movie with lower bitrate through Filmic Pro (Economy mode, up to 16Mbps)
    and plays properly.
    Is there an upcoming software update going to solve the problem or is it hardware related and therefore not fixable.
    Please don't reply with a network related answer, by 2012 we know how to set up our networks and everything else runs flawlessly.
    I'll apreciate a fast answer, we love Apple, but if it can't play an iphone movie (or a high quality movie from iTunes) it's just not up to my standards.
    Thanks again.

  • Hi All, I have an Issue with iMessages working from iphone 4s but not from macbook air

    Hi everyone, I'm new to MAC's but have had an iphone for a while, so much so I had an iphone 4 but got an iphone 4s, I gave my 4 to my dad, and after recantly buying a MBA tried to imessage the old man but his name turns red and will not allow me to  send a message, I can however imessage him from my phone, I have the same issue with two other friends, but I know Imessage works on my MBA as I have two other people it works with (On the side the group Imessage is so cool) we did have an issue with facetime not recognising him untill he switched it off and on from system prefrance on his iphone, not sure if this is related or if this is a MBA issue or iphone issue, but could do with some help as I'm an Apple convert and I'm now hoping to convert the old man who loves microsoft, I told him how 'Apple just work' and at the moment have egg on my face
    Please help all surgestions greatlly reacived

    When sending a message from Mountain Lion's Message program, you should be careful about the recipient's address.  When you send a message to your dad, you should send it to his iPhone's phone number.
    Also, on your Mac's Messages > Preferences > Accounts, you should be logged in under your Apple ID (which is hopefully different from your dad's).
    Enjoy your Apple gear!  Indeed, it does "just work".

  • Issues with video playback on iPad 2

    I have an iPad 2 (I had this issue with the iPad 1st gen. as well), and I'm having some playback issues on movies and TV shows purchased through iTunes. I've removed the movies/shows and re-synced, I'm using the cable that came with my iPad.
         The issue is that when I'm watching a movie/show, the video will freeze, get very pixelated, and then pick back up anywhere from 15 seconds to 2 minutes later in the video. I had this issue with 2 of the first gen iPads (as stated above) and took those back to the store, however my iPad 2 was a prize from a contest and cannot be returned.
         I'm sorry if this question has already been answered, but if anyone has any tips or answers about this that could help me out, it would be greatly appreciated.
         Thank you.

    Ok, I created this sample file by tearing some code out of a larger project. Its a little light on comments and the code could be cleaned up a lot but it works fairly well. This example uses stageVideo with a fallback to a regular netstream video object. It is based loosely on several sample stageVideo source that I found online.
    When you tap on the play button in the example it first loads in a custom player container, then it converts the entire stage to a bitmap and masks this bitmap using a mask bitmap that is created from the library. This mask creates a hole through the bitmap version of the stage contents so that the stageVideo is visible. (Because stageVideo is always drawn under everything in the displaylist.)
    This example also has an iOS styled player UI that I created so that it would look similar to the native video player. It has play, pause, a video scrubber and full screen mode. There is a small sample h.264 video included in the example so you can test it out and see it work. On the iPad make sure that your videos are in a folder or in the root and that the folder or files are added to the included file list for your app. Also make sure that the render mode in your app.xml file is either GPU or Direct. Beyond that if you have problems or questions let me know.
