Why are my iMessages coming through on my iPad but not coming through on my iPhone. Can I have the texts appear on both devices.

I am receiving texts from my son's iPhone on my iPad but not on my iPhone. Can I receive the same message on both my iPad and iPhone?

Found a fix on another thread that seemed to work.
Go into Messages preferences and uncheck "enable this account." Wait a few seconds, then recheck it.
Also disabled and re-enabled imessages on my 4S just for good measure.
Hope this helps

HT201317 Why are my photo streams showing on my iPad but not my camera roll photos from my iPhone?

JUst bought iPad. Photos not loading from iPhone. iCloud is on on all settings.

No solution to offer, but I can say that you are not alone. I am having the same exact problem.
I installed "Photos" around April 8. "My Photo Stream" shows up in the sidebar containing pictures up through April 6 - nothing later. Photos taken with my iPhone since then do not show up.
My iPhone and iPad both have Photostream on and working. Photos taken with either show up almost immediately on both devices. It is only "Photos" on the desktop machine which is broken. Like you, I have tried turning Photostream on/off, restarted both desktop machine and phone. Nothing. "Photos" photo stream is stuck in time at April 6.

Hi
I have about 1000 contacts on my iPhone 4 after syncing with iCloud there are only about 120 contacts on iCloud How can I have the same info on both the iCloud and my iPhone

On the iPhone tap Settings > iCloud
Switch Contacts off then back on then reset the device.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Why are my iMessages showing on my brothers iPad?

Why are all my iMessages that I send from my iPhone 4 to my boyfriends iPhone 4s showing on my brothers iPad? We do not share an apple ID! He can send a message from his iPad to my boyfriend and then it shows on both phones that I am the sender when I have not sent anything. WHAT IS HAPPENING? PLEASE HELP!!!!

Hi Abbey
Jon is correct, you have either signed into iCloud with the same ID on both devices or you have associated the same email address as an alias between them. Sign out of iCloud / iTunes / Appstore on both devices then sign-in seperately and that should resolve it. In the mean time, keep the messages as clean as possible.

Why are my deleted songs back on my phone but not in my itune library

After I did the 7 update, all my really old songs that have long since been deleted have shown up in my music library again, but they are not in my itunes library on my computer for my to delete again. Why are they suddenly back and how do i get rid of them?
Thanks for your help!

I had the same problem. This is what I did,
1. Go to settings
2. Scroll down until you find Music
3. Tap on Music
4. Scroll until you find Show All Music
5. Switch it off (if it's green then switch it to turn it white)
That's what I did and when I go to my music library it only shows the ones i havent deleted.
I hope this helps

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/).

Why are my videos showing up in "Recently Added" but not in TV Shows or Movies?

I didn't have a problem adding videos to iTunes for several months, but now videos are not appearing in the right places. For some reason, they appear in the Recently Added playlist, but they are not showing up in the Movies section (which is where they had all gone before). The video plays fine if I play the file from Recently Added.
The files are mp4 format converted with Handbrake, which I have used for a long time without issue.
2011 iMac OSX 10.7.3 & iTunes 10.6.1 (7)
My research into the issue has found that some users experience metadata info missing from files. I ran some of the recommended programs that automatically add metadata to videos, but still had no luck adding. The issue is with every single mp4 file I add, and it just suddenly started.
If I click "Get Info" on a file, they are listed as being sorted as a Movie. If I change it to TV Show or Music Video then click OK, no changes are saved and file goes no where.
I get no Error Message when adding to iTunes.
I hope I have provided enough information. I'm eager to hear your answers!

Update:
Still having issues getting new videos to show in the "Movies" or "TV Shows" categories of iTunes. However, last night I discovered that Home Sharing on my iPad lists the newly imported videos in the Movies category (iPad & Video app). So, the files aren't corrupt or anything like that. It just seems like I need to 'refresh' the Movies page. Is that possible?
Since I can see the files on the iPad now, I want to remove the extra copies of movies I imported. But, since I can only find them in Playlists, how can I delete them?

Why are some songs distorted on my Macbook Pro but not on my iPhone 4?

I purchased the new Patrick O'Hearn album through my iPhone 4 (latest iOS) with the ITUNES app. When I got home and synced the phone with my 2008 Macbook Pro (Lion with latest patches) and began playing the album through my desktop speakers, some passages of the music seemed distorted or over-driven. At first I suspected a poor digital encoding of the music, or problems with the cable or speakers. I plugged the cable directly into the headphone jack of the iPhone and the music played perfectly, and without distortion.
So, the problem is the MBP, or iTunes. Can anyone offer suggestions to remedy this?

I had Sound Enhancer checked. When I removed that option the distortion was still there but was reduced.
I played several similar songs (same artist, same levels, similar composition) that I have had for a long time and found no distortion at all. The old songs had been ripped from the CD to MP3 format or purchased as MP3 from Amazon.
So it doesn't appear to be hardware related (MBP, cables, Speakers), but instead may be encoding (AAC) or DAC related to differences between MP3 and AAC.
Still looking for a solution.

HT4759 I just got a new macbook pro and I would like to have all of my contacts from my iPhone 4s imported. I have iCloud turned on on both devices but the contacts are not importing what am I missing

For some strange reason my contacts are not populating on my macbook from my iPhone. I have iCloud turned on on both devices and I have selected the contacts folder to be in the cloud but my macbook isn't populating the data.

To copy your exchange account contacts to iCloud, do the following:
Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
Download the app My Contacts Backup. (If you have more than 500 contacts to transfer from our exchange account you will need the “Pro” version. If you aren't sure, start with the free version. When you use it, it will tell you if you need the paid version.) Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone (from your exchange account) as a vCard attachment to an email that and send the email to yourself. Confirm that you have received the email.
Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section) and set this to iCloud.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars…tap your exchange account and turn off contacts syncing.*
Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the exchange contacts back to your device, and to iCloud. Go to icloud.com to confirm that the contacts are there. If you ever want to "refresh" this with your current exchange contacts, you can reply to this conversation in the future and I can give you the steps to do so.
* You could leave it turned on if you want to reference it occasionally. If you do, just open contacts and tap Groups, then tap the exchange account so it is unchecked and tap Done. That will hide them from view so you don't see duplicates.

TS2755 Why are my imessages coming from my email address?

why are my imessages coming from my email address?

Go to Settings>Messages>Receive At>Caller ID, set this to your phone number instead of your email address.

I receive both My husbands emails and mine through my ipad. We both have gmail accounts. His emails are coming down on the ipad but not mine. I haven't received mail since Saturday and as we use the email for business I desperately need it.

I receive both My husbands emails and mine through my ipad. We both have gmail accounts. His emails are coming down on the ipad but not mine. I haven't received mail since Saturday. We use the email for business I desperately need it and I don't have a laptop anymore as it is broken. In my wisdom I desired to buy an ipad instead, what a mistake.

The iPad will support multiple Gmail accounts, but of course you have to set each one up individually. Did you set up both accounts? Go into Settings/ Mail, Contacts, Calendars to confirm both accounts exist. If they do, also familiarize yourself on how to navigate between accounts to make sure you can view your Inbox. You may also want to check your settings to make sure that you have the default account set up as you expect for Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Notes (if you're using all those features). That is important only when initiating something new, you have to have a default account to do such a thing so make sure the default is your account since it is your iPad (assuming that's what you want).
Alternatively, install the free Gmail app and then use only his (or your) account with that app and use the standard iOS Mail app for the other account.

HT1688 why are my imessages now turning into text messages all the time?

Why are my iMessages now turning into text messages all the time?

There are a number of reasons why they may be sent as regular sms and not iMessages. If either party is in an area with poor reception and the the data network is struggling, the regular sms messages will be sent to the recipient. iMessage can be switched off at a users convienince, your recipients may have iMessage turned off when you've sent those messages.
There are instances where the iMessage server is not responding due to techinical issues (although, few and far between)

Why are my iMessages coming through on my iPad but not coming through on my iPhone. Can I have the texts appear on both devices.
