Messages iphone and ipad
How come I receive imessages on my Ipad air and not on my iPhone5?
It's best to use an email address (free gmail.com) on the iPad for iMessage.

My iPhone (and iPad) will receive .msn e-mails but will not allow me to respond or forward, giving an error message that says the username or password are incorrect for the SMTP, but the same configuration allows me to receive AND send from my MacBook - what can I do to correct this?
Alright, I'll take a mea culpa on this. I just recalled the one thing I didn't try which was establishing an application-specific password for the phone:

Ok, new to this, sorry for long title, thought I was in text/message part. I have two iPhones, and iPad, and a MacBook Pro. Invoking messaging and receiving on two iPhones and an iPad was cute in the beginning but now it's beyond useful. i've solved the problem on iPhones just by turning off messaging, but find nothing in settings to turn off messaging on the MacBook Pro. I'm assuming that turning off messaging on my phones reverts to SMS tho' not sure what Apple uses if not SMS.
I do not want iPhone messages being received on my MacBook Pro. How do I de-authorize, can't seem to find anything in settings and don't want to delete MESSAGE.APP as who knows if I want it in future.
Thanks in advance. All deviced up to date with software, and am using Mt. Lion on MacBook.HI,
The iOS Messages app send either iMessages or SMS depending on the receiver.
If it is Off then you can't send SMS either.
Turn Messages back On in the iPhone.
Go to Setting > Messages > Send and Receive and delete the Apple ID (And any other email) you listed for iMessages
You will get a warning alert that the ID will be deleted across all devices (and it included Messages on the Mac)
The Messages app on the Mac can have iMessages turned Off.
Two ways to do this.
Simplest is to go to Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts and Untick the Enable this Account Box.
The second is to use the Sign Out Button (in OS X 10.8.2 which has updated Messages to version 7.0.1)
The Second logs you out and removes the Apple ID from the iMessages Account settings.

I have my daughters Ipod, my iphone, my wife's Iphone and Ipad on the one Apple ID. Since the latest update we are receiving Imessages from our daughter's Ipod with my wife's caller ID on the one message strand.
Is it possible to differentiate between all the devices?Can I fix this problem?I recommend that you
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases. -

I share an Apple ID with someone but we are now on iOS8 and getting each others messages on our iphones and ipad. How can I split the account safely as well as protect icloud backed up data?
Use different Apple IDs for iMessage (and also FaceTime) to avoid getting each others text messages (and FaceTime calls). One of you should go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive (and Settings>FaceTime), tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID. You can continue to shared the same ID for the iTunes store and other services.

When opening Windows 7 I'm receiving the following message The procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll.......I have never rec'd this before............I have a iPhone and iPad...............How can this be corrected without interferring with the information on my computer? Thanks
With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
Reboot and see if all is well
In case that your OS is Windows 7 (64 bit)
1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
3. Open new windows explorer, to to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
4. Paste file "SQLite3.dll" to the location.
5. Reboot your computer, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
Good Luck -
Error message that my iPhone and iPad "can't be used
I have just installed the latest version of iTunes. I am getting error messages that my iPhone and iPad "can't be used because the required software is not installed". It asks me to uninstall and reinstall but I've done this and am getting the same message.
Thanks.
SamYou have it set to automatically set the time and date. To do that it has to be able to reach out to iCloud to get the time and date and something is blocking it from being able to do so. So either need to fix the network/Internet connection or set it to not automatically set the time.

I bought a new Mac. I previously had my iPhone and iPad synched to my PC. I set up iTunes but my playlists did not come over from my PC. I can redo that without a problem...BUT...I just tried to synch my iPad with my Mac and I got the following message: The iPad "name" cannot be synched. You do not have the privilege to make changes. I deauthorized my PC and have authorized my Mac...it just won't synch. Help!!

When setting up some iCloud info., agreed to merge iPhone and iPad contact info., and now most of my iPhone messages are listed by phone numbers, rather than by the person's name. Some of the names eventually showed up, but not many, and most of those now have the husband and wife's name together or just the family name (Millers, Smiths, etc.).
No, your iPhone and your iPad should not appear in the finder.
I'm not sure what you mean about downloading photos with iPhoto being double handling, but you can download direct to a folder with Image Capture. Image Capture can also be used to delete photos from the Camera Roll on the iPhone or iPad (preferrably after they are downloaded).
You can remove the photos you synced from your phone with iTunes by syncing again with an empty folder, That will delete all the photos that were previously synced that way, replacing them with the contents of the empty folder (that is, nothing). This will not effect photos takes with the camera on your iPhone. -
Some messages sent/received on my iphone and ipad do NOT show in Messages Beta. Why?
In the past 4 weeks I started experiencing this issue: some of the messages I send from my iphone and ipad will NOT show in Messages Beta for Mac OSX. Likewise, some of the messages received on my iphone and ipad often don't show on my Messages Beta.
HI,
The best I have on this at the moment is that the Messages App is still Beta.
Secondly there have been some changes to the way the iMessages parts are syncing.
This may be due to Apple making changes to the iMessages server and the resultant sync issue to do with that.
Of course in the change over, if my guess is right, some messages may have been lost.
Some of this seems to be altering the way Messages get Flagged as to whether they were delivered or not.

Greetings Ukiahans,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your messages are not working between your iPhone and iPad. To begin troubleshooting, I would suggest reading over the following article to make sure that the Continuity feature for SMS Nd MMS has been set up correctly. Please let me know if your devices seem to be set up correctly but the feature is still not working as expected.
Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
To use Continuity for SMS and MMS with your iPhone and your Mac, iPad or iPod touch
Your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch need to use iOS 8.1, and your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
Sign in to iMessage on your iPhone, your other iOS devices, and your Mac using the same Apple ID.
On your iPhone:
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address.
Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature.
Cheers,
Joe -
Mountain Lion Messages and other iPhone and iPads not connecting
