Normal text messages to and from my iPad (through my iPhone 4S)!?

Since iOS 8, I used to be able to send and receive normal texts, to and from people with non iPhone phones, on my iPad mini retina through me iPhone 4S, but since I changed my password of my Apple ID, this is NOT working anymore! iMessage texts, shows up on both devices, but the normal texts that my iPhone get, now doesn't show up on my iPad!??
Actually it used to work with phonecalls as well, being relayed from my iPhone, showing up on my iPad, but thats not working either anymore!??
Anybody knows whats up!? I really enjoyed this feature, so really hope someone can help me here!??
Hardware:
iPhone 4S (8.1.1... Just updated, and changed nothing)
iPad mini retina (8.1.1... Just updated, and changed nothing)

Fantastic!!!
So simple, and so straight forward! You actually managed to solve 2 pending questions in here, in these forums, in one swoop! ;-) I had another question about all my linked photos, contacts and soforth in my imessage on my iPad that had disapeared! But the minute I got this set up, they all reappeared!! :-) But they must have changed it from default setting to now this little switch... since I don't remember that I have set this up before!!
Anyhow... Thank you SO much!! :-)

Does anyone know why my text messages would just stop going to both my iphone and ipad

Can anyone tell me why my ipad would all the sudden stop receiving and being able to send text messages. I have an IPAD 2 and it has been able to up until about a day or so ago.

Are you talking about iMessages, because iPads cannot send SMS text messages...?

How can I view the text messages sent and received from my phone?how can I view the past text messages sent to my phone

How can I view the text messages sent and received on one of the other phones on my plan?

You would have to view them on the other phone.

Why isn't a normal text message not being delivered to just one number ?

Since the IOS update a few weeks ago I've discovered that text messages I've been sending to a T mobile phone haven't been received, whereas they always were before. I've texted from another phone successfully so the problem is not their end. This is not a problem with Imessaging - all the help and advice appears to be with this issue. It's just normal text messaging that isn't getting through. Any advice would be appreciated !

Have you contacted your carrier, since this is a carrier feature?

I cannot text all my contacts from my iPad

I curretly can only send and receive text from a few of my contacts from my Ipad. I can text all from my iphone. I used to be able to text all of them from the iPad.

Even when your iPad has a cellular modem, Text messaging does not work on an iPad.

Forward normal text messages to iMessage?

As a Google Voice user, I've found that the experience on an iOS device is always lacking, mostly because the apps don't have the attention to detail that the Apple-designed apps have. That being said, I'd like to know if there's a way to forward normal text messages (sent to my google voice number) to my Apple ID/iCloud account in order to have them show up in iMessage. I'd imagine that there's some magic juju that goes on behind the scenes that identifies messages as normal SMS or apple's format, and routs them accordingly. For the folks out there who have the ability to parse this sort of thing, is there a special way that iMessage handles messages (i.e. a specific/proprietary header, unique address, gateway, etc.), or is it just one of those things that goes on under the cover of night in dark Apple rituals?
I appreciate the time and consideration!

iMessage is, at this time, only iOS to iOS. There is no way, currently, to make a message from somewhere else appear to have come from an iOS device.
In the Google Voice settings, under "Phones", if you tick the box saying "Receive text messages on this phone", the text will show up in the Messages app on the iPhone as a standard message.
Best of luck.

Can't receive normal text messages after updating to iOS5, only iMessages

Over the summer I bought iOS5 from a developer and had it on my phone for about a month until it crashed and I had to restore from a backup. So I put iOS5 back on my phone, and it crashed it again. I decided to wait until yesterday to put it back on, because it was legit and through Apple. Now I can't receive normal text messages from non-iPhone users. I'm only receiving iMessages. The only way to fix it is to turn off iMessage, but that's one of the main features of the update. Help?

i may put my iphone in the toaster tonight i am so $%#@!*^ frustrated.
i have an iphone 4 which i upgraded to ios5 about 4 days ago. yesterday, i realized i wasn't able to receive any text messages, but was (and am still getting imessages), along with the ever-so-vague 'sms mailbox is full, delete some text messages' alert.
so i came to the internet to find out about the supposed 15mb (75k*) limit. Apple's solution on their own site was 'hey, crazy hoarder, why don't you delete some texts?? there you go, EASY PEAZY!' except that didn't work...for me, and a ton of other people apparently.
i came down from 76something to around 67k.
I hard restarted, i ignored it, i deleted more texts, i bought phoneview, i deleted MORE texts, more restarts, NOTHING. it has now been 48 hours with no texts. NEED I ASSURE YOU THAT I AM A VERY IMPORTANT PERSON (as we all are).
so i backed up my phone (again, as i did before the upgrade), and restored it to factory nothingness. restart. restart. stare blankly. no texts.
then, i go to restore from backup (via itunes) so i can at least get all my contacts and whatnot back. lo and behold, my backup is gone. only the option to set up my 'new' iphone. i delay utter panic for a brief second and silently pray to the angel steve, sitting upon his giant white icloud, remembering that i actually paid for extra icloud space and backed up to that as well.
now i'm just waiting for it to restore AT LEAST my contacts, which it now seems to have done by the time i've typed this. PARTIAL crisis averted.
alas, i STILL am not getting any text messages. it seems that calling apple does nothing since apparently no one was told about this and/or how to fix this. i cannot receive text messages from my boyfriend, my parents, my colleagues who all are iphoneless and better off than me at this point.
i am leaving for a business trip in 12 hours. i'd like to figure this out before i put this thing in the garbage disposal or violently smash and use it's parts as confetti. although by the time i do, i will probably have lost all my friends and been disowned by my family for ignoring their jokes / emoticons / cries for help.
i fear apple has become a sentient being, and this is it's way of forcing all people of earth to use iphones...for there will be no other way to communicate with each other once we evolve and are all born with giant thumbs instead of vocal chords...hold me im scared...
it's so dark here...

TS4268 iPhone users can no longer send me text messages now that i've moved to a non-iOS phone. Can iMessage service or Message users be refreshed to see me as a normal text message recipient?

I still have an iPhone, but haven't turned it on for weeks. And there's no SIM in it, so no cell service, just WiFi. When I turn it on after a prolonged period of having it off (weeks), a bunch of messages popup that should have been forwarded to my new phone (same phone number and carrier as when I was an iPhone user) but appear to sit in iMessage queue indefinitely instead.
I'm guessing it has to do with the link that's made when an iPhone first realizes that it's talking to another iPhone and defaults, for all future texts, to iMessage. You know, the green to blue switch. How does that association get undone?
Has anyone else seen this, and if so, is there a fix?

your number can remain on the imessage server for some time

My iPhone 4 sending a iMessage to another iPhone user, the message will send then says not delieverd? So I have to send it as a normal text message .

Hey! So I'm having a problem with sending an IMessage to another iPhone user and they are having the same problem. The problem is; is that I send a message to them it will attempt to send then will say under the message that it was not delivered? So I send it as a normal text message. Weird part is that we both have full service and have the phone bills paid. Lol

There is an earlier thread that was answered by an Apple employee that states they are seeing the iMessage and Facetime servers are down. It is unknown when they will return, however it generally is not an extended period of time.

I text my grand daughter from my iPad Tuesday of this week. By Thursday I am not able to text her from my iPad. My iPhone lets me. She has an iPhone too, what has happened?

How can I transfer photos from an IPhone 5 to an IPad 2 using a cable. I have tried using the lightning to firewire adapter with my current lead but this only seems to allow a download from the Ipad to the Iphone and not the other way around.

The devices are not designed for transfer of that kind. Use Photo Stream as suggested by another poster, or transfer photos to your computer (a good idea anyway since they will be lost if your device needs to be reset), then use iTunes to sync them to the other devices.

I purchased moveis from my ipad through ituens. They downloaded, but now I can't find them. When I open itunes and click on movies I just get the movie library to buy movies. If I click on Purchased it takes me to my. Where are my purchased movies?

I purchased moves from my ipad through itunes. They downloaded and I synched them to my computer. I cannot find them on my ipad. I open itunes click on Movies and it takes me to the movie library to purchase more movies. Where did my purchased movies go on my ipad?

They should have downloaded into the Videos app (iTunes on the iPad is just the iTunes store) :
If they aren't in there then have you got a film age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding them ?

I have just down loaded a movie on my itune using my new ipad. i have also bought and apple tv how come i cant play the movie from my ipad through the apple tv? i tried syncing the ipad to my comp and playing the movie that way but once in my itunes no mo

I've downloaded a movie on my ipad and I've hooked up my apple tv. Why can't i whatch the movie from my ipad through my apple tv? I tried synching my ipad to see if, when synched, I would see the movie on my computer in itunes. No luck there. What am I doing wrong? Why is it showing in my itunes on my ipad but the movie has disappeared when I look at my itunes on my computer so that I can watch it via Apple TV?

If you rented it directly on the Apple TV then you can't transfer it off and you have it watch it on that - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1415 :
You can move the rental between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period. However, the movie can only be played on one device at a time. If you rent a movie on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV, it is not transferable to any other device and you must watch it on that device.
