TS4268 My ipad stopped recognizing my cell number even though I have my phone number in my Apple ID?

Need to get text messages on my ipad through my cell and not my email address.

You can change the phone number the verification code is sent to from a device or Mac that has your iCloud keychain enabled as follows:
In iOS 8, tap Settings > iCloud > Keychain > Advanced. In iOS 7, tap Settings > iCloud > Account > Keychain. Make sure the phone number under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
In OS X Mavericks v10.9, choose Apple () > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Account Details. Make sure the phone number under Verification number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
If you don't have access to a device or Mac with your iCloud keychain enabled, you'll have to contact Apple support to verify your identity and get assistance making the change: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/.

  • Ipad keeps  coming on and  online, even though I have it shut off and  wifi shut off, why is this and how can I stop it?  After shutting it off,  sometimes   10 minutes,  or hours later it comes back on, even when not using it

    When my Ipad has been disconnected from wifi and  shut off, it keeps  coming back on and online.  It can happen in 10 minutes, or hours later,  happens  irregulary.  Have noticed when it happens, I get nofications  from facebook of  comments and or posts..  I can switch the wifi off,    switch the iPad off and  then set it beside me,  hour later it dings, i have  noficiations of  face book things, and its online again.. why is this and how can I stop it from happening?

    Yes, I went to settings and turned wifi off.  Thought at first I wasnt letting it set for a sec or two before shutting the iPad off.  so now I wait like a minute or two  before shutting the iPad down.  didnt  seem to help.  Tried  actually logging out of  facebook when I was  done with it,  worked for about  4 days, and now it has started  coming on and coming online again,,  I  went through my notifications and  shut things off,   Well  see if it works.  thank you.

  • TS1398 My iPad won't backup to iCloud even though I have plugged into power, locked it and other devices all are OK on our wi fi.  I can't get rid of the box that tells me to backup the iPad to iCloud to access anything else in the iPad.  Help?

    When I try to use my iPad I get a message that says my iPad has not been backed-up for 2 weeks.  I've plugged it in, locked it and wi fi is working with other devices but I can't get passed that message.  I've tried turning the iPad off but even then I can't slide the bar to turn it off.  Any suggestions?

    Try this.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • How can I sync a (one) song from my computer to my iPad without syncing the entire library even though i have my iPad set to manually manage music?

    Whenever I try to move just one song from my iTunes library to my iPad, it will start syncing like 300 other songs randomly so I cancel everything. I have my iPad set to manually manage music but it still does that. And what's worse, I never get that one song I chose in the first place. The same thing with photos. I'll sync a photo and it starts syncing music as well. But at least I get the photo just fine.

    Easy solution when on itunes simply go to the music tab and press on music library then browse what file which contains the music you want to be added same with photos

  • IPad WifI drops all the time even though I have pe...

    My iPad 4 is constantly losing connection but as soon as I go into settings and re connect it connects straight away, It only happens upstairs but it is very annoying as I watch alot of youtube videos and it is constantly dropping and I have to re connect. The wireless speed in my bedroom is always between 25-30mbps. Help please.

    If it only happens upstairs then it would suggest that you have a weak wireless signal or there is some thing causing interference such as another wireless network.
    You could try selecting another wireless channel on the Homehub to see if that helps.
    There are apps on the apple store that you can download to show the wireless networks and channels or if you have a windows laptop you can download and run inSSider which will show you the wireless networks in your area and what channel they are on. Select the least congested and strongest channel and change your Homehub to it.

  • Does the ipad use a different cell number than my at&t cell?

    does the ipad use a different cell number than my at&t cell?

    Are you talking about in Messages? I believe that the iPad will pick up the phone number of an iPhone on the same Apple ID through the iMessage/iCloud servers.

    Why would my Apple TV suddenly stop recognizing my library.  Nothing has changed.  How can I test the Apple TV.  I have the latest updates.

    Could have to do with home sharing. Try turining off and then back on home sharing on your AppleTV.

    Hi jim2744,
    If you are having an issue with your iPod nano not appearing in iTunes when it is connected, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

    I cannot sync my iPad or iPhone to iTunes on my Windows 8 PC, even though I have been doing this successfully for years. I have been through all the troubleshooting steps I can find in iTunes, to no avail. Help please?

    I seem to be having the same problem on my Windows 8 laptop... I am able to update my iPod Nano through iTunes but my iPhone is not recognized as a device in iTunes. Have been able to update my iPad until recently. Is this a bug fix that Apple can help with? I'd rather not uninstall all my Apple programs if I can avoid it...

  • Why is my new music staying on my iPad and not going into my iCloud even though I have it set up to do so?

    I have gone through all the tutorials to get iCloud to back up my music for iTunes, but it still shows I have 5.0GB available (even though I have purchased more), and when I go to "backup" it acts like it's going to do it, but doesn't. I now need to update my iOS but can't because there's not enough storage on my iPad, a bit of a Catch 22. Can anyone help me figure out why my music isn't going to the cloud? Thanks!

    iCloud doesn't back up your music as part of your iCloud backup.  iCloud only includes music in two ways.  First, it allows you to redownload previously purchased music for free from iTunes (called "iTunes in the cloud").  Second, if you subscribe to iTunes Match on your computer, you iTunes library (up to 25,000 songs) will be available to download and play on your device anywhere you have a connection to the internet ( see http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/).

  • My ipad is no longer showing all my videos, even though i have the option set to show all, even those that are in my cloud. I can't do anything to get all my videos to re-appear. any help?

    My ipad is no longer showing all my vidoes, even though i have the option set to show all, even those that are in my cloud. Any suggestions??

    Close the videos app and launch it again.
    To close an app, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    if they still don't show up after you launch the app again, try resetting the iPad.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Can someone tell me how to delete a number which is stored in my messages list even though i have deleted the text message itself?

    Hi.  Can anyone help me? I am trying to delete a phone number which appears in my Messages list even though i have deleted the text message content it came from.

    Try logging into your Yahoo account from a computer, search out the contact you are trying to delete and manually correct or delete the bad contact.
    The bad information might be hidden as a second address or other contact information (or misspelled) and not be showing up on the iphone but will pull up the address anyway.
    I had one old address in a contact that kept pulling up each time i tried to email him. The new address was there, but the old address was what the phone kept showing. When I edited the contact info from my computer the old address went away, and the new address started poping up.
