I'm having trouble texting from my IPAD. Sometimes it looks like its searching and other times I get a red exclamation point.

I'm having trouble texting from my IPAD 2. Most of the time it looks like its searching or I get a red exclamation point.
I was only able to send 2 texts. Help!

iPads cant send regular texts - only through iMessage meaning that the other device will need to have iMessage too.
If you can't send a text that means the other person does not have iMessage and iMessage is only installed on iOS devices or OSX Lion

My daughter is traveling from US to Spain next week. Can she text from Ipad for free?

My daughter is traveling from US to Spain next week. Can she text from Ipad for free?

If her iPad is running iOS 5 with iMessage registered and enabled, she can exchange iMessages with a Mac running Lion with the new Messages BETA app for a Mac running Lion, and with other iOS devices running iOS 5 with iMessage registered and enabled. She can do this when her iPad is connected to an available wi-fi network.

Recover deleted text from ipad

Does anyone know ho to Recover a deleted text from ipad

It's not possible to recover a deleted text unless the text existed on the device the last time it was backed up.
If that is the case, restore the device from the backup... where the device is backed up is irrelevant.

Backing up Texts from iPad to iPhone

I accidentally deleted all texts from one of my contacts from my iPhone. There are no recent backups in iCloud or iTunes
But because he's an iMessage contact, i have his texts on my iPad.
Is there anyway to get them onto iPhone?
iPad and iPhone both running 7.1.1. My Mac fwiw runs Mavericks.

I'm afraid of getting stuff I don't want gotten and losing stuff I don't want lost!
That would be a good solution if the texts were so paramount that I wouldn't mind facing such issues, but it's not THAT important...

Cant send texts from ipad because I don't want it linked to my iphone

I have an ipad 3rd gen that is a personal device. I also have an iphone 4 that is a device provided to me by my employer. i want to be able to send and receive texts from both devices, but I do not want texts from one to show up on the other and vice versa. I have only one apple id, and would prefer to keep it that way. How do i set this up, because I believe that my inability to do so is resulting in me not being able to send/receive texts on my ipad.

You can't do what you are attempting to do with a single AppleID.
The iPad can only send messages through iMessages - it is not able to send or receive traditional text (SMS) messages. So, even if you were to use it you could only receive messages from other Apple devices using Messages.

HT1349 Trouble texting on iPad

I just got a new iPad so I am new to this. I am trying to text a message to my daughter but she does not have a iPhone. It wont let me send it. Do receivers have to have a iphone or ipad to be able to receive text from me? Thank you for help in advance!

If you are using the iMessage App, the messages can only be sent to users with iOS 5 installed or a Mac that has iMessage installed. There are 3rd party Apps available in the app store that will allow you to text to traditional cell phones.

I can't send SMS text from iPad 4 w/ cellular, no option to add or turn off/on

I can no longer send SMS text with IPad 4 w/ cellular. There is no option in settings-messages to turn on SMS like on iphone5. Everything is trying to be sent iMessage which fails when sending text to non apple users. This change occurred after last iOS update.

I can confirm this for the Ipad Mini with iOS6.1
Although the cellular hardware is available - the iPad doesn't handle SMS Text messages.
For those trying to use prepaid 3G internet data simcards, not being able to send or receive text messages pretty much cripples most 3G prepaid internet simcard packages available around the world.

Unable to text from iPad mini

Keeps saying text message not sent when I send a message from my mini iPad

Remember your iPad is not a cellular telephone. It cannot send or receive SMS text messages. It only sends and receives iMessages, which go to/from other Apple equipment users who are also connected by WiFi (and occasionally a cellular phone network that accepts iMessage).

Texting from ipad warning message

When sending a text message from the iPad 2, I'm getting a warning message with an exclamation point that the text cannot be sent. I am using WiFi and not Verizon or ATT service.
Thank you.

iMessage is not really txt messages. They look like a text, but they are not. You can only send to apple people that have the service turned on. Text messages go thru your telecom provider to another phone. The pad, of course, is not a phone, and cannot send anything on the phone network.
So what you are sending is handled by apple servers, but only goes to registered addresses. For a pad, the registered address is an e mail address. For an iPhone, it can be either a phone number on file w apple, or an e mail address on file with apple.
If you are sending from a pad, those are your only options.
If you are sending from an I phone, if the recipient is an iMessage person, it goes through as an I message. If the recipient is not, but is a cell phone, the system will automatically send it as a regular text. You may have noticed that from a phone, some of the messages are blue, and some are green, that is the difference. If you are sending to a pad from a phone, only the e mail address will work.
Ok?

Corrupt text from iPad export

So, I've emailed myself the PDF of the Keynote presentation I created on my iPad. I also used iWork.com. I also transferred it via iTunes.
The problem: All of them have several pages of corrupt text whether opening in Acrobat or Preview. All I get are dots for characters. Even worse, when opening in Google docs ALL text is invisible.
Does anyone have an explanation or workaround?

When I attempt to send a text from the new iPad, a dialog box appears with the option to either sign in with Apple ID Password or Create New Account. I try signing in using my Apple ID password but IMessage informs me that email address cannot be verified

When I attempt to send a text from the new iPad, a dialog box appears with the option to either sign in with Apple ID Password or Create New Account. I try signing in using my Apple ID password but IMessage informs me that email address cannot be verified because it is already in use ??? What am I doing wrong?

settings -> iTunes & App Store
click on apple ID listed there
select Sign Out
sign in with the proper account
from then on, when the store ask for your password it should be with the correct ID

Is there a way to have the iPad 2 "read" text from iBooks as with web sites or pages?

is there a way to have the iPad 2 "read" text from iBooks as with web sites or pages? A different App perhaps?

Isn't that you asking how to get it (undefined) back?
If you never had Pages '09, you can buy it from Amazon very cheaply:

I cannot print from my ipad. It is connected to the wireless okay. I have only had this ipad for a month and while I am not sure I think it has been okay to print before 2 days ago, when I tried to print and I got the message "Airprinter not found" Has anyone experienced this and if so what did you do about it? I have no trouble printing from my computer.

... Has anyone experienced this and if so what did you do about it?
I rebooted my Airport Extreme.
Try rebooting your router. Make sure its firmware is updated.
