Why can't I get messages on my iPad?

My iPad (4th gen) is not getting messages that are only going to my IPhone 5S. I used to get them on my iPad as well and I have noticed over the past month or so I don't get the. On my iPad as well. I think it was after the last couple updates that this happened. Can someone please help? I have turned off and on both my iPad and phone but to no avail.

Thank you for the suggestion however it did not help. I sent a message from my Iphone before turning the messages off. It went through no problem. I turned off the messages in my Ipad. Then I turned on the messagges in my Iphone and waited till it was active then turned on my messages on my Ipad and waited for that to be active. The latest message that I sent from my Iphone did NOT show up on my Ipad still....
So I turned off my Ipad and turned it on again and did the same with the Iphone and still it doesn't show up on my Ipad messages for that person. The person I am sending it to has an Iphone and Ipad too.

Why can't I get text on my iPad? Roommate has iPhone and iPad like myself gets text both places. The only difference seems to be her phone number is listed before her email address. Can't get it to add my number.

I assume that you mean that you do have an iPhone because messages will not work with any other type of cell phone. You should be able to add your phone number in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at, if your phone number is lited in there, select it and then uncheck your email address and then the iPad will be using the phone number just like the iPhone.
If you phone number is not listed in there, you probably have to sign out/turn off Messages on the phone and the iPad and then start over again on the phone - and then your phone number should be accessible to use on the iPad.

Why can't i get garageband on my ipad 1? What is iOS?

"Have you tried installing GarageBand for iOS from the App Store app on the device?"
This is what eventually worked after a few tries. It took quite a while to download, but it eventually worked.

I bought the photoshop touch app for my phone. Why can't I get it on my iPad also?

I bought the photoshop touch app for my phone. Why can't I get it on my iPad also?

There are two different versions of PS Touch that, even though they are similar in function, serve different form factors. One is for tablet (landscape orientation) and one is for phone (portrait).
I guess one could argue why Adobe didn't make it so that orientation didn't matter and would adjust accordingly (a la SketchBook Pro) but you'd have to ask the developers that.

Try this - 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

HT4539 Why can't I get audiobooks from my iPad to my iPod?

I can't transfer my audiobooks from my iPad to my iPod. I find this "new iPad" to be tarded x 3. Which makes it "********". Had I known that Apple dumbed this ipad down on purpose, I would have never bought it. Weird.

Transfer the purchase from the ipad to your computer: File>Transfer Purchases
Sync it to your ipod.

All of a sudden I have lost my message tones and mail tone, I've checked to see if it's muted, it's not that, I've looked in tips and tricks and tried everything they have suggested, but nothing, help

Did you: Double tap your home button to bring up the task bar, then swipe the task bar apps all the way to the right to reveal the mute icon on the very left, then touching it to restore system sounds?

Why can i not get WeightWatchers app for iPad in Ireland?

I am really annoyed.... Having recently treated myself to an iPad and rejoining Weight Watchers, I was psyched to see that an app existed to track points etc.!! Cant tell you my disappointment at not being able to get it - cant be got through iTunes Ireland! What's up with that? Anyone have a clue? FYi - have tried to set up a new account but Apple has cotton'd on & blocks it.....

I would guess that the maker of the app does not sel it in the itunes store for Ireland.
You can buy ONLY from the itunes store of your country of residence AND ONLY while inside the borders of that country.
Sorry.

Why can't I get a Mac created/iPad edited Pages document to appear in iTunes when using "send to iTunes" command in Pages on my iPad

This morning I updated to iTunes 10.4. and also updated Pages on my MacBook (SL 10.6.8) to version 4.1. My iDevices are all recognized in iTunes and all is going fine except for this one thing. I created a Pages document on my Mac and I sent it to my iPad using file sharing with iTunes. I edited and finished the document on the iPad and then used the "send to iTunes" feature and prepared to sync back to my Mac. The document appears to transfer over - and I have tried sending it over again and again - but it never appears in the file sharing Pages documents window after I sync. When I try to send it from the iPad again, the device tells me that the document already exists and asks if I want to replace it, so it must be transferring somehow but I don't see it in the window.
This only started after I updated both applications. I've been using Pages and file sharing without any issues at all until now. The really ironic thing is that I can create a Word document on my Mac, send it to the iPad, edit it there and send it back to iTunes and it appears in the window like you would expect - but my Pages documents do not. Word documents work fine but not Pages documents? Documents created on the iPad seem to be going back and forth fine but not Mac created files.
I've tried everything I can think of, restarting disconnecting the iPad reconnecting the iPad, hard reset .... Any ideas? Is there something that I am missing? Anybody else experience this?

Just thought I'd add my solution, I decided to go with WebDAV and I think it actually works better than the iTunes way, the steps are pretty much the same but avoiding the iTunes interface just makes things easier and faster.
I followed this guide but it does have a small mistake in the httpd-dav.conf file, on line 2, where it's WebServer/WebDAV">, it should be <Directory "/Library/WebServer/WebDAV">.
The tricky part is setting permissions which if wrong will give you errors when connecting with the iPad, I opted to set all to Read&Write since my home network has a hardware firewall. Another convenience was to add an alias to the webdav share on the Desktop.
I'm still expecting the call from Apple but even if they fix the iTunes I'm sticking with WebDAV, atleast until I see what's new with iOS5 and iCloud this fall which should bring true sync for documents (I'm hoping that they will offer encryption with my own keys, if not, then I'll probably keep using WebDAV).

Why can't I get ilife on my ipad without paying when I have it on my macbook?

I have ilife on my macbook and I'm wondering if I can put it on my ipad without paying the individual price for each one.

Because Apple needs to create and maintain the iOS version of it separately. This applies to any product which has both Mac OS X and iOS versions; the developer can require separate payment for both if they so wish.
