Using iMessage on iPad

I just upgraded from iPad  2 to the new iPad. I can no longer use iMessage . I turned it on in settings using my apple ID and password. I open iMessage and it asks me to chose email for messages. I choose my .mac email and it says verifying. Says it can't verify and tells me to check email for verification code, but there is no message. My email is the same as my apple ID.

Problem solved! I had 2 apple IDs . For some unknown reason my apple ID, that is also my @mac.com address is not verified. I logged into my old account where the same @mac.com address was verified. I removed the @mac.com address from the second account and added a new email address, my gmail.com address. Verified it and used that Apple ID to sign into FaceTime and iMessage.  Works.

    You need to register first. Go into settings then messages and turn it on. You will be asked to put in your iTunes ID. Then you ready to start sending messages to anyone on an ios5 or ios5.1 device,have fun !

  • Trying to use iMessage on iPad 2

    Imessage is set up on my iPad 2, however when I try to choose a contact and message them, all of which have ios 5 on their iPhones, and are using iMessage to message each other, it is saying I cannot message them as they are not registered with IMessage.

    Hi, I've managed to sort iMessage on my ipad2. I was actually being stupid! First you have to enter your apple account username and password then it asks for the email address you would like to use. Mine is working fine now.

  • Using iMessage on iPad and iPhone

    Hi all,
    I have successfully setup iMessage on both my iPad and iPhone devices.
    I was wondering if anyone can help me with the following problems:
    When my iPad is in stand-by mode or with the smart cover on the screen, it will only receive the iMessage on my iPhone and not iPad. If I have both devices turned on and are readily available then I will get the iMessage on both messages at the same time. Is there perhaps a setting or a setup step that I have missed to enable my iMessages to be in sync?
    Can I change the display name of my iMessage rather than it coming in under my full email address eg My Name instead of [email protected]

    Assuming you use the same iCloud account for all devices, check the following on each device:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You can be reached at > enable the phone number and email addresses you use..

  • Using iMessage from iPad created 2 message threads

    Hi,
    My girlfriend and I are both using iOS 5 on our iPhones. Up until a couple of days ago everything was going fine - SMS and iMessage messages were appearing alongside each other in the Messages app.  The other day, however, I picked up my iPad and sent her an iMessage from there, and it created a second user/stream in her Messages app.  Now, whenever I send her an iMessage from my phone, it appears in the new/separated thread but when I send an SMS it goes into the original thread which contains all our other messages (including all the iMessages sent before my iPad messed things up).
    Also, when she opens the original thread, she is only able to send me regular SMS/MMS, and in the new thread she's only able to send me iMessages. Is there any way to get the two threads combined in her phone?
    Incidentally, this only happens on her phone.  In the Messages app on my own iPhone, everything is still combined within the one thread and from there I'm able to send as SMS or iMessage.
    Both threads on her phone are titled correctly with my name, and tapping the "Contact >" button at the top of the message thread displays the exact same contact card for me.
    I've tried going into her contacts to ensure my phone number and registered email address are both contained within the same contact - and they are.  I've even tried removing my contact details entirely from her phone and re-importing them, but that didn't work either.
    Does anyone have any ideas how I can solve this issue and merge the two threads (or message streams if you prefer) please?  In the meantime, I've had to turn iMessage off entirely as it's too hard to follow the thread of a conversation when my messages can be appearing in any one of two places.
    Thanks

    Yes, but only by no longer using Messages on the iPad.  I removed my account from the iPad, AND my iPhone. Set it up again on my phone and specified that I can only recieve iMessages via my mobile phone number.
    Alternatively - and I only spotted this after upgrading to iOS 6.  There's a setting (new in iOS 6?) which allows you to specify the address/number from which iMessages are sent - if you set that to your mobile number on all your devices, everything stars to work as it should in that iMessages and SMS appear in the same place on the recipient's phone.

  • Can not sign into Apple ID to use iMessage on iPad

    Help?

    Thanks for providing some details about the situation. It would really help if you did, but with the utter lack of anything to go on ......
    Check Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure that the time zone setting is also set correctly.
    If that didn't solve the problem, restart your iPad and try again. If that fails, reset your iPad and try again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    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.

  • How do I manage conversations on iMessage for iPad. After I've read an iMessage how do I 'hide' the conversation

    When using iMessages on iPad mini I have a list of  people I'm messaging and the first few words of the last message  on the left side of the screen. If I select one, every message we've sent comes up on the right of the screen. I want to know how to close the full list of messages so all I see is the list of contacts on the left of the screen.

    I've got an idea. Message yourself a couple of pictures. Then tap  your name to open. Then you can have your list of senders without any messages showing,  only the the pictures you sent. Another idea, start your messages from contacts. Then you'll have your contacts with no messages showing.

  • Can i set up my iPad and iPod to use iMessage between the two devices with the same Apple ID?

    Can i set up my iPad and iPod to use iMessage between the two devices with the same Apple ID? SO i could iMessage if out from my iPod to my iPad at home to be viewed by a family member?

    Look into using Apple Configurator.  It's the easiest way to "reimage" and Manage iPads that I know of right now. 
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/apple-configurator/id434433123?mt=12
    Also, look into using the Educational Volume Purchase Program, if you have not already done so.

  • How can you use iMessage between 3 iPads with 3 different users but only one Apple ID?

    how can you use iMessage between 3 iPads with 3 different users but only one Apple ID?

    No you do not need separate Apple ID's in order to use 3 devices with one Apple ID. I use 4 devices to Message and FaceTime and all use the same Apple ID. You do need to add additional email addresses for the other devices.
    Look at this very informative video for the instructions.

  • I have an ipod, ipad, and iphone. ilike to use imessage on all of them but i dont want messages to appear on the devices i am not currently using. nor do i want to have to keep a saparate account or id for eCH OF THEM. WHAT IS THE FIX?

    i have an ipod, ipad, and iphone. ilike to use imessage on all of them but i dont want messages to appear on the devices i am not currently using. nor do i want to have to keep a saparate account / id for each device  how do i fix the settings on each so that with the same ID / login I can chech me emails, share contacts etc, be able to use i messenger on each without the whole conversation automatically beiing picked up by my other devices? some conversations just arent intended to be shared!

    Turn it into the local police department with an explanation as to who you tried to contact and what they told you. That's the only safe procedure, as otherwise the owner could report the iPod as stolen, even though you tried to return it, and get you into trouble.
    Regards.
