My iMessage on my iPad 4 shows some contacts in red and I can't contact them

My iMessage on my iPad 4 was acting fine. Then suddenly I was getting a red message. One was an android phone and one was an iPhone that I had been writing to with no problem. I have tried everything that I have read when I have googled this question. Haven't solved the problem. Help!

My playlist dont show up on my ipod anymore and I can't sync them back. I tried restoring but that didnt work.what do I do? please help thanx.

daxfrompomona,
This is the wrong forum to post on, this is a forum for folks that have Intel based iMacs. According to your profile it indicated you are using an iPod Nano and use Windows Vista. I'd recommend either reposting in the iPod or iTunes for MS Windows forums.

Since upgrading to ios 5, some apps wont update and I can't remove them by syncing, since upgrading to ios 5, some apps wont update and I can't remove them by syncing

I have the latest IOS in my second gen ipod touch. Since upgrading, a bunch of apps refuse to update. I've tried removing them in itunes, so that I can try downloading them fresh, but itunes shows them removed, while they remain in the ipod. Is there anything I can do other than wiping it? At this point I feel really sorry that I updated the ios, since I never had this problem before, and I have little confidence the situation will improve. These are basic apps, like Paper Toss, Pinterest, skype, Angry Birds...

Ok, so I turned my ipod touch off for 10 minutes, restarted itunes, and checked to add the apps that aren't being removed from the ipod or updating, one at a time then syncing each time I add one. It's working! When I tried to do it en mass, all the apps would attempt to download but failed, asked me to retry or wait. So, I'm slowly going through the 20+ app reinstalls. I've tried to fix this 5 times over the past 2 months, so whatever works is good.
FYI, it's a 2nd gen and is running iOS 5.

HT204150 half of my contacts just dissapeared, and I can't get them back

Half of my contacts have dissappeared leaving only the first 75 contacts. How do I get them back?

Log into icloud.com with a computer's browser and check the contacts page. If they are gone, then they're gone. If still there, then you need to be sure your device is logged into icloud using the right ID.
If they are gone, you can try performing a restore from a backup of your device. While there has been debate as to whether a backup to icloud includes contacts (since they are supposed to be on icloud anyhow), so the backup may not contain the contacts - especially a recent backup (this depends on how long the contacts were deleted).
If contacts are still on the computer, then you can try syncing them to icloud (this would only be the case if the computer was not connected to icloud, since otherwise it would have synced by now and lost the contacts).

HT4236 My ipad ate some of my pics. Where can i retrieve them? Itunes?

I cannot find some pics that were on my ipad. I recently backed up to itunes, but I dont know where to look to find my pics.

Hello rosebud56,
I understand how important those precious memories are! Are your device settings and call logs still present on the phone? Did you change any settings or select the option to reset to factory settings? Have you restarted the phone since the messages disappeared? I am eager to continue troubleshooting with you!
Thank you,

Sorry, I meant the letters look "faded" not faed.

They have an iOS device? If so, have them send as an SMS, not an iMessage.

You will not be able to activate iPad if you do not have the Apple ID and password of previous owner.

iPad showing photos in about settings and using gb space despite being deleted

And it is not Photo Stream photos that you are seeing reflected?
Try resetting your device(nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Slide to Unlock screen redisplays, see if the issue is resolved.
If it isn't try syncing with iTunes on the computer you sync with, and uncheck "Sync Photos". See if that clears it up. If it does, then re-sync the photos that you want.

I have an iPod Touch but I currently don't have a PC. I found an app that would allow me to connect to my network drive and I was able to transfer music files to it. These files do not show under the Music app and I can't find any way to do it.

I need help from some Apple people. I have an iPod Touch and I wanted to load it up with some fresh music but I currently don't have a PC. I found an app that would allow me to connect to my 2TB network drive directly and I was able to transfer a bunch of music files to the iPod. Unfortunately, these new files do not show under the Music app and I can't seem to find any way to convince the iPod that they are music. I can play them through the file manager only. Android doesn't have this problem, any music I put on my phone is recognized as music and can be played through any of the music apps. Am I missing something or is Apple to inflexible to handle this?

You can't. The only way to get songs in the Music app is to sync from a computer or to download from iTunes.
