TS4268 IMessaging on iPad mini to "iPod registered to email address" user

I have an android phone and a Macbook air running 10.7.5.  I recently bought an iPad Mini and am trying to use iMessage on it.  So far noone with an iphone has responded to any messages I have sent!  so I am wondering if it is working….
I have 2 Apple ID"s - one for itunes and one for icloud (but I don't use icloud).  My Apple ID for the ipad mini is linked to a non-icloud email address and my android cell #. When I go to the "receive at" option for messages on the iPad there is only one option - my Apple ID email address. I realise I can't use my cell# to receive iMessages as it is not an iphone, but why is there no  field to enter a phone number (if I did have an iphone) showing up?
I want to iMessage from the iPad mini with someone who uses Ipod for iMessaging, but even though I use their registered-to-iMessage email address, when I enter it into the "To:" field, it turns red, and I get a message that their email "is not registered with iMessage".  I know they are already using it to iMessage other people so what am I doing wrong???

Do you have another Apple ID? If so and if that is the email address that you are trying to add, it is not going to work.

  • I have changed my email address and changed my Apple ID. However iCloud on my ipad and an ipad mini still shows my old email address. How can I change my iCloud email address?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

  • Can I use an iPad, iPad mini and iPod touch on the same apple account?

    Can I use an iPad, iPad Mini and iPod touch on the same account?  Is there a limit to how many devices I can use?

    When you turn on your iDevice for the first time just sign in with the same Apple ID and you can download any apps you have purchased in the past! There shouldn't be a limit to how many devices you can use.

  • My ipad (mini) and ipod are not being recognised by itunes?

    When connecting both my ipad(mini) and ipod(7th gen) they are not being recognised by itunes.  I last connected just over a month ago and everything was fine.  When I last connected I also connected my old ipod(3rd gen) to add new playlists beforing giving to someone else.  When I first plugged in I got a message saying that the cable was not Apple authorised - both my cables are cables supplied with my ipod/ipad so came from Apple?  When I run diagnostics it says
    "Most recent devices not currently connected,  - iPod Nano (3rd Gen) and iPad Mini running firmware 6.1.3"  This is the first time I have tried to connect since updated my iPad with IOS7?  Please help I wanted to put Christmas playlists on both devices.....!

    Bought an iPad mini with AppleCare registered in my name and need to change it to my wife's name - how?

    Apple's customer support can certainly do that, but it is not necessary. AppleCare follows the product, not its owner.

  • Ni'm not tech minded. my husband has already registered his ipod to our email address and i am unable to register my new ipod. how do i get around it?

    I'm not tech minded. my husbanded has alreadyu registered his ipod to our email address but i have now bought an ipod and i can't register mine under same email. and cant listen to my music. any ideas how i get around this?

    You should have your own email address.  An Apple ID (which is one person) is an email address.  One email address cannot be two Apple IDs.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • On my ipad mini, when I delete an email from the inbox (and it goes into Trash), it immediately deletes that email from the server (ATT/Yahoo).  I've called support for both ATT and Apple and can't find a way to have the emails remain on the server.

    My husband and I share an email address and if he misses a day checking email on his notebook, he doesn't receive the items that I have sent to Trash on my iPad Mini.
    Appreciate suggestions.
    [The curious thing is, if I "move" the deleted emails from Trash on my iPad Mini into the Inbox, I can go to my notebook, open my online email and they are back in my ATT/Yahoo Inbox.]

    I own three Apple devices, but my iPad remained associated with my old email address and password. How can I register it with the same new email and password?

    If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad. If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps.

  • I've can't sync my ipad and Imac because I've registered different email addresses with each. What should I do?

    Hi,
    I've recently bought an Ipad2 and wanted to use Pages on it - which I bought when I got my Imac a year before. However, because I've registered different email addresses with each device, I can't get these devices to recognise that I own them both. What should I do?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    I highly recommend having a single account.  Choose one or the other and make all future purchases on that.  With one account you can share apps between a certain number of devices, but with separate accounts you have to buy multiple copies of what you want.
    Also, Pages for the computer and Pages for iOS are different programs.

  • TS3274 My iPad is under my husband's email address and I want to change it to my email address.  How to I do that?

    My iPad is in my husband's email address....[email protected]
    I want to change that to mine [email protected]
    His always comes up......I need to eliminate his from my iPad.

    Will also need to do for other services such as Facetime/Messages and iTunes & App Store from the settings menu if his Apple ID appears there too.

  • I would like to be reached at my iMessage with my mobile number and not my email address

    I would like to be reached at my iMessage with my mobile number and not my email address

    If you're finding that iMessage & Facetime is showing your email as default & your number is greyed out so can't select it then try signing out of iMessage & Facetime & signing in again.
