Messaging problem iPad mini

I can not use the messenger unless it's to another apple device.. I can text my wife (iPhone) but when I try to text someone not using iPhone , it will not send! Any ideas?? I just bought this iPad mini, so I'm a little new at it.
PLEASE HELP!

That's exactly how it should work. Messages are possible only with other Apple devices. You can read how it works here: https://www.apple.com/ios/messages/

WiFi problem ipad Mini & iphone

Since updating to iOS 7.0.3 (and then to 7.0.4), my ipad mini often has not been able to access wifi. While the wifi icon is still showing a strong connection, the network activity icon just goes around in circles. Sometimes there's a message that it cannot connect to the server. This also happens to my iphone 4, less frequently and not at the same time.
When I power off and restart the device, sometimes wifi works properly again, sometimes not - but it always shows the wifi icon as working. i have tried different things like closing all open apps.
There is no problem with my network or my wifi connection. Both of these devices worked flawlessly until iOS 7.0.3. Anyone else having the same problem?

Nope, no WiFi problems with either iOS 7.0.3 or 7.0.4 on an iPhone 5, an iPad 3 and an iPad 4.

Wifi problem ipad mini 6.02

Hello,
yesterday i started again a dayly connection to my telescope with skysafari with
WLAN over a router. Suddenly no connection was possible, both with ipad 3
and before fine working ipad mini ( 6.0.2) The router was the same .
In the system preferences WLAN connect to my ipads correctly .
But the program with exactly the same preferences as the day before can`t connect
to the client on my telescope .
Any ideas
IP Telecop 192.168.2.101 - Router 192.168.2.1- Ipad 192.168.2.100 DNS no Dlink Port 4030
Connection to Ipad : yes
Connection to the program on ipad : no
Day before nothing was wrong .
Best regards

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Unlock animation problem iPad mini iOS 8

Hello! I'm suffering from iOS 8 bug. When I'm unlocking my iPad mini without a passcode animation is so short, unsuitable with this minimalistic design. It's really annoying and comparing to iOS 7.1.2 looks terrible.
I tried to restore settings,content, all. Even restored as new iPad twice. Is anybody suffering from this? I'm waiting for answer...

IPad Mini Won't Sync With Mac Mini (ios 8.1 OSX 10.6.8)

Problem : IPad Mini connects to iTunes OK, can be seen in iTunes and I can select which movies to sync to it etc. When I hit the "apply" button after making a change (ie deleting or adding a movie) the sync lasts just a second then the "sync" button remains greyed out, and I can't make them sync.

Have an iPad mini with latest software upgrade 8.1.2. Verizon Messaging on use after working for 1 yr. deleted app and downloaded fresh app. Same problem. Neither Apple support or Verizon store support could find problem. Sometimes can type txt befor it

Have an iPad mini with latest software upgrade 8.1.2. Verizon Messaging app crashes on use after one year with no problems. I deleted the app and downloaded a clean version. It crashes whether or not I have any apps running in the background. Sometimes I can type part of a message before it crashes. Other times it crashes as soon as I try to use the app at all. Neither Apple Support nor Verizon store staff could find any reason for the problems. Any ideas??
THE TEXT SHOULD SAY THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE APP CRASHING Message was edited by: Steady_RI

Steady_RI, thanks for keeping us posted. Did you uninstall that application by pressing/holding down the icon until the (X) appears? Tap the (X) to delete it. Once the application has been deleted, you will need to reset the network settings on your device in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. Power that device off/on and then download the application again. Additionally, we also recommend that you disable Wi-Fi and connect to our network to test the messaging feature again.
