Why can't I get my iPad and iPhone to sync my iMessages. The iPad comes up with check connections

I have tried to sync my iPad with my iPhone. I follow the steps and when I go onto iMessages on the iPad it won't let me sign in it keeps coming up with to check connection and try again

Hey there Dora,
It sounds like you are unable to sign into your iMessage account becuase of an error message telling you to check the connection. I recommend these troubleshooting steps from the article named:
iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4268
If you see "Could not sign in, please check your network connection and try again" when signing in to your Apple ID
To resolve this issue, follow these steps.
Update to the latest version of iOS.
Verify that you have a data connection by going to www.apple.com in Safari. You can complete Apple ID activation using Wi-Fi or a cellular data connection. If you need help connecting to Wi-Fi, follow these steps.
If you're using Wi-Fi, make sure that your local Wi-Fi network is using the recommended Wi-Fi settings.
Sign in to your account and ensure that the primary email address and alternate e-mail addresses have been verified. If verification is pending, follow the instructions in the email Apple sent to that email address to complete verification. Or remove the e-mail addresses from the account.
If your Apple ID isn't an email address, you can change it. The Apple ID that you're using to activate FaceTime or iMessage must be an email address. Find more information on how to change your Apple ID.
Tap Settings > General > Date & Time. Make sure that your iPhone is set to the correct time zone. If Set Automatically is on but the wrong time zone appears, turn Set Automatically off and choose the correct time zone, date, and time.
Enable iMessage and FaceTime while connected to a different Wi-Fi network (in a different location) if a cellular data connection is not available.
You can see that you've activated FaceTime and iMessage with your Apple ID by following these steps.
Tap Settings > FaceTime > You can be reached by FaceTime at:
Tap Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You can be reached by iMessage at:
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

HT201269 why can I not get my photos and videos stored on my iphone to import to my new Ipad Air?

Why can I not get my photos and videos stored on my iPhone to import onto my new iPad Air ?

We don't know how to answer because we don't know what you are doing.
I can tell you that you cannot connect the two devices together to transfer content. And videos do not work in Photo Stream, but it does work for photos. However, you can only stream photos to the device after you have enabled photo stream on the iPad. Any photos that were already on the phone - before you turned on Photo Stream -will not sync to the iPad.
Look at this app for the videos.

Why can't I get my ipad 2 to charge?

why can't I get my ipad 2 to charge? I have never had this problem before. I have tried two different chargers. I have tried it via the computer. I have turned the ipad off and on. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
When you're swapping out chargers, make sure you're using an iPad charger. It is different from an iPhone one (iPhone chargers put out about half the power)
Charging via USB will likley tell you that it's not charging because most USB's put out a fraction of the power that the iPad wants, so it says not charging.
ALso try different outlets and cables if you have them
If you go through all that and still can't get it to charge then you may need to make an appointment at your local apple store and have them look at it.

To each his own. I own Outlook, but I avoid using it like the plague. The only Mac mail software I have liked better than Apple's Mail was Qualcomm's Eudora, which is no longer updated or even available, won't run without Rosetta, and unfortunately never quite got the hang of IMAP.
Check out this post regarding this user's continuing use of Eudora on his Lion MacBook:
Shield Eudora from Lion's Claws
A thousand thanks and kudos to Michael for this fabulously excellent thread!
Eudora's now happy in her new Snow Leopard VM home on my Lion ModBook!
Appears essential to keep resource-forked data off Lion disk:
First attempt with Eudora on SL VM was sharing data on Lion disk. Error messages on open like "can't find Table of Contents" suggest Lion ate resource forks crucial to Eudora.
Found success by transferring data from SL Mac to thumb drive, then mounted drive in SL VM so Lion couldn't touch.
While Michael warns against storing data in VM, appears there's no choice with Eudora. At least She's enthroned on a mirrored RAID.
There is Nothing like Eudora! (to tune of "There is Nothing Like a Dame" from South Pacific -- Oops! my gray hair is showing!)
(It's amazing Parallels can force Lion to store taboo resource forks. Thank God for code warriors!)

Do you mean by using the 'get info' function and editing the data there? What is happening instead of what used to happen?

What IP does your iPad show as having?
Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo.
Some folks have discovered that changing their DNS service fixes FaceTime connection issues.
The ideal way is to configure your modem/router with DNS service, but often settings in System Preferences/Network on your Mac will override the router settings. Try either of these;
OpenDNS
208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220
Google Public DNS
8.8.8.8. 8.8.4.4

Why can i not get my ipad to recognize my wireless printer but my apple desktop works with it

Why can I not get my ipad2 to print from my my wireless printer that i use for my apple desktop

It's also possible that your wireless printer will work with a minor OS tweak if you're on Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.x. Your Mac system must be on for printing to occur. (I haven't tested with Leopard 10.5.x or Lion 10.7.x)
Details are found in this Apple Support Communities thread begun in November 2010
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2658720?threadID=2658720&tstart=0
I've been using it to print to a Canon MP560 wireless printer and an HP LaserJet 1320 USB-to-Mac printer from my wife's iPad 2 since the first day she received it for both photos and documents. Duplex printing to the Canon does not seem to be supported.

Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set
to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your
updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow
Firefox to connect to the Internet again;
* Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version)
* Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs, then add it back. For detailed instructions, see

Why can't I get my iPad to stay connected to my printer?

I am having trouble getting my iPad to stay connected to my printer. I have set up the printer numerous times, but every time I try getting it to print a second time after it prints once,my iPad sends the message that it can't find an Air-printer. I contacted the retailer where I purchased it and he told me to do a reset by pushing the Home button and Sleep button at the same time. That seemed to fix it, but when I tried printing something the next day, it was back to the same problem and got the message about not finding an Air-printer. Can someone please advise me as to what I can do to overcome this problem?

Why can't I get Keynotes Pages and Numbers for free after OS Mavericks 10.9.1 Upgrade?

I bought my Macbook Air a few days ago with the OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 update software already installed on my laptop. I'm suppose to get Keynotes, Pages, and Numbers for free under purchases in my app store but unfortunately I haven't seen any of those programs come as a purchase in my store. I've downloaded the OS Mavericks 10.9.1 software three times already and restarted my computer to see if they come in the mac store but nothing happened. I've also applied for the Up to Date program and they said they would contact me in 24 hours but it has been three days and I still haven't got a reply from them.

If you purchased a qualifying Mac on or after October 1, 2013, that did not include Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, you can download them free by following these steps: http://www.apple.com/creativity-apps/mac/up-to-date/

HT201412 Why can't I get my iPad to go past the apple logo? The screen now has crazy lines all over it. Can't restore cause computer doesn't recognize it in device list.

When I was updating iPad 2 to newest iOS I interrupted the update by doing a reset. Now I can't do anything. Won't even show up as device on my computer so I can do a restore. Worked perfectly before I tried to do the update. I thought the update was messing up cause it seemed frozen about 1/4 way on the line that advances when you do an update. I held down home and power buttons for about 10 seconds and now there are colored lines and such moving across the screen. Can't do a restore from backup cause device not recognized. Other iPads are recognized so it's clearly the particular iPad that has the problem. What can I do?

Try and force iPad into Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.
