TS4268 iPad 2 iMessage problems

I have had my iPad since last May, and suddenly I am not able to use iMessages. It won't send or receive messages. I can do both on the same account on my iPod Touch 4. I am wondering if others have had this problem and what they did to resolve it. Thanks!!

  • IPad and IMessage problem

    Why does my iMessage only work sporadicly?

    I'm afraid you're mistaken (in fairness a lot of Genius bar employees tell people this too, oddly enough). The app tray that shows up when you double click the home button does not show "running" apps; think of it more like a list of most recently used apps. iOS manages memory space on its own quite well. "Quitting" an app in the tray may only help you if you're having problems with that app.
    All that being said, iMessage only works sporadically for me as well. Right now I can't even sign into iMessage, FaceTime, or receive notifications from Game Center.

  • I group messaged from my ipad and this has screwed up the way my messages are reveived by my friends (it creates new threads in their phones with my email in place of my contact name) I've stopped messaging from my ipad but the problem remains. Any help?

    I have an iPhone 4S and use the group texting feature ALL THE TIME. I recently updated my iPad to the latest software and made the colossal mistake of continuing my group messaging from my iPad while connected to wifi. Doing this has successfully screwed but every group text thread I am in, to the point where its very hard for those involved in the thread to keep up. When I initially messaged those I was already engaged in text threads with it created a new thread in their phones replacing my name in their phones with my email. At first this was not a big deal but ever since then the people I am messaging have become increasingly frustrated with how my messages come through. If I am messaged in a group text and respond to it, sometimes when I respond it will create an entirely different thread in my recipients phones. So at that point they have to switch threads in order to read what I wrote. The new thread that my phone creates will send the message under my email not my name (related to the contact they have me saved as in their phones). The worst part about it is that there seems to be no rhyme or reason to why or when my phone will send the message as normal or under my email like it did with my iPad. I haven’t messaged from my iPad since these problems immediately began a month ago but the issues still continue. I have tried everything to get this to stop, I’ve turned off my wifi, I’ve had my friends delete the threads that my messages create in their phones. I’ve had them delete my email in their contact lists and nothing has worked. Can you help me? Any info you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
    Note: My phone message no different whatsoever. All the threads have remained the same. The issue is what it is doing to the people that I am messaging.

    I have this identical problem.  For a while my group texts didnt show up on my ipad.  Then one day they did, maybe everyone in the group started using the same os version or something.  Ever since my first reply to the group there have been complaints of multiple threads.  I can not find a pattern for when my group text's decide they want to create a new thread. (it doesnt happen every time)  Everyone in the group has deleted the thread, we've all toggled imessage on/off etc.  There still hasn't been a solution.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Ipad Mini imessage not sending messages over wifi

    I've my ipad mini for a couple of days now and I've consistently run into imessage problems.
    I can surf the web, use apps that require Internet (ie. Facebook, Pinterest, mail, etc.) but it seems like imessage refuse to work.
    My imessage is working and syncing just fine between my iPhone and MacBook Pro .
    I've tried restarting my router, restoring my ipad mini to factory settings, soft and hard reset, and just about everything I can think of but nothing seems to be working. Maybe I have a defected ipad? Is anyone else having these issue?
    I would really appreciate the help!!
    Thanks!

    Try the following.
    Turn off Messages, sign out of your Apple ID on the iPad, restart your iPad, go back to Messages, turn it back on and then sign in again in Messages and in the store settings.
    Settings>Messages>Off. Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart your iPad and then go back to Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID. Sign in. Then go to Settings>Messages>On. Then sign in and see if it will activate.
    Here's what Apple suggests when running into problems:
    Troubleshooting Apple ID activation
    After each step, toggle iMessage and FaceTime off and then on again in Settings > Messages and Settings > FaceTime.
    Update to the latest version of iOS.
    Ensure that you have an active Internet connection. Check your Wi-Fi network using standard Wi-Fi network troubleshooting.
    If you receive an error when signing in to your Apple ID, visit myinfo.apple.com, sign in to your account, and ensure that the primary email address has been verified.
    Ensure that FaceTime has not been restricted: Settings > General > Restrictions > FaceTime.
    In Settings > General > Date & Time, ensure that Set Automatically is on. If Set Automatically is on, but the incorrect time zone is displayed, turn Set Automatically off and then choose the correct time zone, date, and time. Then turn Set Automatically on again.
    Enable iMessage and FaceTime while connected to another Wi-Fi network in a different location.
    If "Waiting for Activation" is displayed, leave FaceTime and iMessage enabled for 24 hours. Toggling FaceTime or iMessage off and on will cause the registration process to start over.

  • IPad mini iMessage issues

    I tried using iMessage to text a phone number but it says the phone number is not registered with iMessage, problem is, that phone number can and does receive messages from other iPads just not mine! I use to be able to send messages now all of a sudden I can't.

    Hello, amygrc8. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Here is an article that I would recommend going through when experiencing issues with iMessage.

    Excusses. I didn't know that You aren't from apple inc. I appologize! I am sorry. Forgive me, please!
    But this is not the first problem of apple. Today I bought an album with the booklet 15 f...... Euros. Music is there but digital booklet isn't! On iTunes before I bought, was an information booklet only with full album... That's a lie!!!!!
    Anyway thank You very much for help. The problem isn't solved yet.

  • IMessage problem - Cannot get it to work

    iMessage problem - I cannot get iMessage to sync. I have a iPhone 4 and iPad 2 both on iOS 5. everything else works fine. I cannot get the iMessage to sync. Both have the same @me id. if I try to add another email I get "iMessage Activation Unable to veryify email because it is already in use." Going crazy for 2 days any ideas?

    I'm guessing, but the email address is used as a unique address, (it's easier with an iPhone as it has a phone number). This error could be saying that another iTunes userid has linked with that email address.  That is only possible if they verified it.
    Do you have two AppleIDs / iTunes IDs in the house, but a family (shared) email address?
    Simple solution then would be to create a new gmail email address and use that.

    I am having the iMessage problem following the latest update but am unable to fix it following suggestions on here so far. Anybody have a different suggestion? My phone & iPad are fine but my husbands phone is the one with the issue. I tried backing it up to my computer but for some reason it won't do that either.

  • I set up my emails coming in on my computer so they would appear on my ipad, the only problem I am having is that sometimes my emails are only coming in on my ipad and not on my computer.  Until I open them on my ipad they will not appear on my computer.

    I set up my emails so when they arrive on my computer, they would also arrive on my Ipad.  The problem I'm having is there are times when an email arrives on my Ipad but not on my computer.  Unless I open the email on my Ipad, it will not open on my computer.  How can I have the two divices work in unison where the emails arrive on both at the same time?

    Both libraries would need to have been setup to use home sharing with the same Apple ID in order for that to work.

  • TS3899 In my iPad 2 with IO6 today I can not send emails from my gmail account, they go to the outbox directly...why? How can i solve this problem? ..I restarted the IPad but the problem was not solved. Please help.

    Greetings,
    Questions:
    1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
    2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
    3. Do you use MobileMe/ iCloud or another server based sync solution like Google or Yahoo?
    4. Do other changes to synced information like Address Book content sync successfully back and forth?
    Based on your description it sounds like you have a 1 way sync issue.  Events sync fine between the iOS devices and fine from the computer to the iOS devices but not from the iOS devices to the computer.
    Try:
    Backup your computer and iOS devices before doing anything else:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    Ensure all the devices in use are fully up to date: Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update
    Make separate backups of critical data:
    Backup your computer Addressbook: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
    Backup your computer iCal: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2966
    Reset syncing on your Mac: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
    Reply back if that does not resolve your issue.
    Hope that helps.

    I have the iPad 2 16GB, bought it in August 2011, I worked perfectly but in mid-August 2012 I took her to the store because the microphone did not work reviewed and changed me, but to my surprise that the new iPad had the problem is disconnected WIFI signal I have to be glued to the router, and I did everything he says is supported by the Apple and all other pages and forums regarding this problem is not solved and always disconnects when connected always disconnects again!! passing will be settled as no longer factory warranty although it has neither the three months I renewed new, please help because the investment has been great and I can not use only as "a mirror" I'm waiting a true solution, thanks ....

    This does help me because I am pondering on wether to buy an airport extreme to solve my ipad 2 connection woes.  I have an extremely old router dLink 524....but I have NEVER had any problems with it at all ever.  My xbox connected great to it and netflix ran flawless through my xbox.....now I have an ipad2 and an apple tv and they are BOTH having horrible connection problems.  I have read most of the forums on how to fix it by changing the settings on my router but since mine is so old I couldn't do some of the suggested solutions.  So here I am debating on whether to spend all this $ on an airport extreme?  I am just hoping that if I go and purchase this, my connectivity issues problems will go away like yours did.  Just wondering if you have ATV as well and if the AE solved its problems?  I have read about AE solving ipad2 wifi problems, I'm just hoping it will solve my ATV as well.

    I want to transfer my photos from the PC (windows explorer) to my Ipad. The problem is that a keep my photos in different categories and they are in one large folder and several subfolders (2 or 3 levels of subfolders).When I sent it to the Ipad, it just respect the first level of folder. After the first subfolder, all the photos are mixed. Any idea how to keep my original organization just transferring from PC to the Ipad (folder having a subfolder also having another subfolder)?
    Thanks
    Diogo

    The Photos app doesn't currently support subfolders, it only has the one level of folder/album. You will either need to change your folder structure on your computer to be just one level, see if there is a third-party photo app in the store that copes with subfolders, or just make do. You can try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

    What you need to do is go into settings
    Then go to wifi
    Tap the blue arrow to the wifi you are connected to
    Tap forget network
    Retap the wifi you want
    Reinsert your wifi code if you have one
