My IPad will not send messages.
I can receive simultaneously on my iPad iPhone and Mac Retina, But I can't reply using my iPad. The send button is dimmed. I have tried setting setting my default send to both my iTunes account email address and my iPhone number. This problem exists both with wi-fi and 3G/LTE connections. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
Your SMTP server is likely not set up or set up incorrectly. Check that all is set up correctly in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > [your account] > Account > Outgoing Mail Server > Primary Server

TS5185 My IPAD will not send messages to non APPLE users.
Today, Christmas Day, while trying to send a message my IPAD wanted me to turn on iMessage. There was no option not to do this. After it was turned on I could no longer send messages to non Apple users. After reading online that I could set send SMS on my IPHONE I did. Now I guess it send everything as an SMS message. Now my IPAD will not send messages to non Apple users. I guess Apple wants us to pick our friends only if the use Apple products. This is about as stupid as it gets. They want us to only communicate with Apple users. The only other option is to turn the feature off. Why have iMessage in the first place.
So my situation is I can send SMS Messages on my IPHONE. I cannot send any messages to non Apple users on my IPAD and iMessages to my Apple users.
This kind of stupidity is why I switched from Windows to Apple in the first place. Don't they test anything out anymore at Apple?Please don't take this the wrong way, but I think that you might be doing something wrong.
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. -

Hello Catjaj
If you are having issues with sending iMessages on your iPad, then check out the article below for multiple troubleshooting options to get it back working again. You can try deleting the message thread and starting a new one as well as resetting the Network Settings.

My iPad will not send an email and my contacts have not downloaded to my ipad
My iPad will not send/reply to an email message. How can I download my email contacts to my iPad email account?
Hey there Makeera,
It sounds like you can get emails without issue, but cannot send them. I found this article for you to help troubleshoot the connection between the iPad and your email provider named:
iOS: Troubleshooting Mail
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3899
Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage (try any webpage). If you can load a webpage, then your device has Internet access. If you are unable to load a webpage, follow these troubleshooting steps.Try to use an alternate Internet connection if available:
Try a different Wi-Fi connection
If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
If the affected email account is provided by your Internet provider, see if your issue is resolved while connected to your home Wi-Fi network.*
Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
Restart your iOS device.
Delete the affected email account from your device.
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Choose the affected email account, then tap Delete Account.
Add your account again.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

My sons mini ipad will not send advice given to others, but it's still not sending?
My sons mini ipad will not send iMessages. I have reset network settings, turned it on and off and followed advice given to others with same problem, but it's still not working. Any ideas?
Sorry it is actually on iso 7.0.3. Not sure what to do as keep trying to reset but it just won't send any messages.
He is trying to reply to his cousin also on her ipad via imessage, so it should be really straightforward? He is getting messages from her, but cannot respond.
When I sent him a message from my iphone, that didn't get through. We all have 1 apple id and account which is mine, and this is supporting 1 x iphone, 2 x mini ipads and1 x ipad 2. However one of the mini ipads and the ipad 2 is not used for messageing etc, just my iphone and my sone mini ipad. -
IPad will not send new Calendar events to MobileMe
My iPad will not send new or edited changes to MobileMe.
I have turned off syncing through iTunes to prevent multiple listings of the same event. When I add or change an event on my computer it is changed on my iPad thru MobileMe without any problems, but when I change or add an event on my iPad it is not sent back to MobileMe or to my computer.
(in Settings, Push is set to 'on' on the iPad)
How do I fix this?daleq1,
Is your iPad updated to IOS 4.2, or later?
You may have to turn Calendars off/then back on. Apple - MobileMe - Set Up MobileMe
Make sure that you do not choose to remove any calendars from your iPad when turning it off. When turning it back on be sure to choose "Merge with MobileMe" to ensure that you do not lose any calendar data which has been already entered on you iPad. -
My phone will receive emails but it will not send messages. It says my password is incorrect but doesn't allow me an opportunity to enter it again. Any thoughts?
Under settings>mail, contacts and calendars if you click on the account... then the account name again on the next page.... then click outgoing mail server... then click under the words primary server... here is where you can enter your password... it's most likely missing or incorrect.
good luck -

My iPad will not send emails, even though all the settings seem correct.
Patricia,
When you say seem correct, have you checked in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Account name > Outgoing Mail Server, SMTP and the outgoing server name is correct, then > Primary Server name is correct > Host Name, User Name, redo the Password, Use SSL is OFF or ON according to your provider, may just try it both ways, Server Port, often 25 is the best to use. -
Mail will not send messages. Help please: it receives OK but parks my outbound stuff in either Drafts or Outbox
Thanks for your answer. Apprciate it very much. Just prior to receiving your email, I got back online. However, as I had tried what you suggested (and a lot more as I am 'reasonably' competent), and had been so doing since yesterday afternoon, I do believe that what you suggested was correct - that it was my third rate ISP that was at fault.
Nevertheless, many thanks once again.
