Used to be able get iMessages with iPhone and iPad. Cannot register # or email.

I used to be able to get iMessages using either my phone number or email address besides the me.com one. Now I can't and it won't verify them. I am not even given the choice to add my phone number as on my wife's phone. It keeps telling me I have to register my phone number and email addresses.
Then when I attempt to I am told I need to put in a "code" sent to me on the iPad but have no clue where to look for that code. Nothing shows up in Messages or an email.
HELP!!  My wife's iPhone 6, bought and set up the same time, works fine.
Using Yosemite and iOS X latest versions of each. Verizon service.

Hi NeddafromFl,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like you are trying to use a phone nnumber and email address to use Messages. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

  • I use to be able to rotate my iPhone and change the view of an image, Web page, email, and so on, from portrait to landscape, but after update, I cannot. I can only view in portrait mode. Anybody know what's up with that?

    You need to do the basic troubleshooting steps described in the User Guide, Appendix B.
    Restart phone
    Reset phone
    Restore in iTunes using a backup
    Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup
    If restoring as new doesn't help, there is a hardware failure in the phone that needs evaluation by Apple.

  • I am using the same Apple id for my iPhone and iPad! Does this cause a problem with apps?

    I Was told I should use a whole different I'd with my iPad because if I have both my phone and iPad with the same Apple id it will cause conflict with the apps on each of them. Does this happen?

    No. I've been using the same Apple ID on my iPhone and iPad for years without problems. If fact, if both devices are yours and you use both devices having the same Apple ID on each of them is preferable.

    To expand on Niels post...
    First you need to check that your current Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...

    If it does... then you need to Purchase and Install the Snow Leopard Disc,
    Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
    ( It should be noted that Apple will send paid MobileMe members the Mac OS X 10.6 DVD for free.)

    Hi StuNYC,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you're seeing an alert message when opening Mail on your iOS devices. Do you have multiple email accounts setup on the devices? Take a look at the article below, it provides suggestions that will resolve most issues that  cause an alert like that to appear in when starting the Mail app.

  • My iPhone and iPad cannot recognize my Apple ID. I have changed the password three times. In the iCloud account says that my mail is not verified.

    My iPhone and iPad cannot recognize my Apple ID. I have changed the password three times.

    Thanks for the suggestion, Chris.  I actually did not resolve the issue which is why i did not post an answer. 
    it turns out that my iphone seems to default to an incorrect User ID (it defaults to an @me account, which is not something that i have ever used). 
    even when i change the User ID in my settings for the iTunes store, it still appears when i attempt to get updates for my existing apps.  however, it does seem to use the correct ID when i attempt to purchase new apps.
    If someone actually had an answer to correct this, i would love to update my existing apps. 
    Thank you.

    That depends on what you mean. If you mean two iTunes Store accounts, no. Only one Apple ID can be logged into the iTunes Store at a time and if automatic download, iTunes Match or re-downloading of content is used the ID can not be changed for 90 days.

    So i guess if i solve my goof up on creating different apple IDs and setting her phone as a new one .. according to you that shall do the trick.
    But i have a question here in that case what happens to all the applications that have been purchased on my Id ? Wont i be needing them to be purchased/downloaded again in the new id?
    If you previously had been using the same Apple ID for iTunes Store purchases for both of you there is no reason to change what you've been doing. If this is your wife's first iPhone, and you want to share the iTunes Store account just don't use the new Apple ID you created. As long as there are no purchases on it there's nothing to worry about.

  • How can I get Outlook calendar to sync with iPhone and iPad?

    I think I have tried evert known setting but syncing seems very selective.  I have googled for solutions, too.
    Currently, I load an even into my Outlook calendar (and have the right boxes checked in iTunes) but I am damned if the even will transpose to either my iPhone or my iPad! My Outlook also displays the iCloud calendar too.
    Is there a definitive instruction that is, effectively, a child's guide to setting up Outlook to transpose events to the Apple devices AND vice-versa?
    In my iPhone and iPad, I have the iCloud sync box ticked.  In my phone calendars I have both PC and iCloud ticked.  Events show in my Outlook and Outlook iCloud but not in the &^&^*&^(*&(*)&(* iPhone or iPad.  I have had some close shaves over missing events and want to have this solved.
    Pleeeeease?
    Ron

    An interesting additional symtom is that items loaded in the PC (which immedialely duplicate to the iCloud calendar on eht PC - no worries, there) do not transpose the devices (as above) but, loading an item into the phone, it goes to the PC (which is fine, too).  But not to the iPad.  Interestingly, there fewer calendar display options on the iPad than on the phone.
    I talked to Apple a few months ago (after ISO 5) - mainly about the 6000 plus addresses that suddenly appeared in my Contacts - and his advice was do all contact and calendar actions on the PC.  "icloud is still faulty"
    So there we are!   I must have items and reminders in my PC - it is my main work station - and need them on my devices to avoid conflicts when away from my office.

  • How to sync iMessage on iphone and iPad?

    I want to sync my iMessage between my iPhone and iPad. How do I do this?
    Also, is there a way I can sync all of the conversations made on the iPad to the iPhone, but not sync conversations made on the iPhone to the iPad? I sometime share my iPad with my family and don't want anyone reading my conversations when i am on my iphone. But I am the only one who uses iMessage on the iPad so I won't have a problem With the conversations on the iPad being sent to  my iPhone.
    Thanks.

  • Imessage on iphone and ipad

    Hi all,
    I've got a question regarding imessage. I've used imessage on both my iPhone 4 and iPad 3 (wifi only) for a while. I received messages on both iPhone and iPad.
    Since last week however, the imessage only goes to the iPad and not the iPhone. When I manually open the message center they are visible, but there is no notification of any sort (visual, sound).
    I've tried logging out from apple id on imessage and ipad, but still have the problem.
    The only thing that I can see that is different on both devices is that, when activating imessage again, on my iPad it said 'reveiving messages on phone number and email address' and iPhone it only said 'receiving on email adress'.
    Looking at the settings, both devices are logged in via apple id.
    the 'you are available' part both mentions my phone number and email address - however, on my iPhone, the phone number is grey. Both the email address and phone number on both devices are marked.
    New conversations are, on both devices, started from my phone number.
    So no difference in settings.
    However, when someone sends me an imessage, the iPad plays a sound and displays the new message, while the iPhone stays silent. Very annoying since I only have my iPhone with me during the day and therefore missing messages.
    Anyone any suggestions on solving this issue?
    Thanks so much!
    Jorien

  • ITunes with iPhone and iPad and Sprint 4G wireless?

    Will iTunes let me have my books, music, apps etc on iPhone and the iPad at the same time or is it going to keep deleting one or the other?
    Also, any reason the Wifi version would not work with a Sprint 4G wireless connection? That would be way faster than AT&T and I could use it for iPhone and iPad and Macbook at the same time.

    Apple says the dock connector/USB cable they sell hooks up to cameras and other devices for transferring photos etc.
    Connecting a device for sync to iTunes or to use the supported input devices like a camera is very different from connecting to a network. That function has never been made available via the SDK that I know of, though it's possible that it might be made so in the future.
    If you had iWork files on a USB drive, you'd think that using the iPad's dock/USB connector would allow iPad iWorks to grab the iWorks files from the USB drive.
    It doesn't do so on the iPhone or iPod touch - neither support connecting a USB storage device - so while we don't know about the iPad, I wouldn't place a wager on it, at least not at initial release.
