Why can't I receive messages from a Droid phone on my IPad?..

SMS is part of cellular voice communication.
iPads do not do voice over cellular.
iMessage is Apple devices only.
If you want to send and  receive SMS you will have to download an app from the store, such as text+.

    Why can't I receive sms from other phones ?

    Try going to setting->general->reset-> reset network settings. And see if that works.
    You may also want to contact your carrier and see if there is anything funny going on with your profile.
    Best of luck let me know if this helps.

  • HT4910 Why can't I sync notes from my iPhone 4S to my ipad mini?

    Why can't I sync notes from my iPhone 4S to my ipad mini?

    Hi Drumsing,
    As long as you have your iCloud account set up and signed in on both devices, and the Notes checke in iCloud on both devices, there is no reason they should not sync.
    Try resetting both devices - Hold down the Hole and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold until the Silver Apple appears. Do that for both, then try Notes again.
    P.S., after you write a note, you need to close the App on the device you wrote the note on before you open the app on the other device to see it.....
    Hope this helps,

  • Why can't I download pictures from a flash drive to my iPad?

    Why can't I download pictures from my flash drive to my iPad?

    The USB Camera connecto (30 pin or lightning)r can read pictures from certain flash drives and imp[ort them to the iPad.
    The pictures must be in a folder called DCIM and have a naming structure similar to what a camera would produce.  8 character names plus the 3 character extension.  ie. image001.jpg
    Aside from that, some USB flash drives may require too much power which would cause the iPad to issue a warning.
    How are you placing the images in the drive? 
    It the iPad issuing an error?
    What exactly are you doing?

  • How do I transfer photos from my droid phone to my iPad?

  • HOW CAN I BLOCK SMS MESSAGES FROM AN SPECIFIC PHONE NUMBER ON MY IPHONE 5

    HOW CAN I BLOCK SMS MESAGES FROM AN SPECIFIC PHONE NUMBER ON MY I PHONE5, THANKS

    You can't. Contact your carrier and ask them if they provide such a service. Most carriers do not, unless the text messages are threatening or harassing, but you can ask.
    Regards.

  • I have an iPhone 4S and my friend has two ipods with two Apple ID's.  Why can't he receive messages on "Message" on one and he uses a free text app on the other which receives messages from my phone just fine.

    My friend has two ipods.  Two Apple ID's and on one ipod he has a free text app on it and only Message on the other.  He cannot receive a message from my iphone 4S on the one with Message, but receives it fine on the one with the free text app.
    He can also receive a message from my iPad on the one with Message.
    My question is how can he recieve a text from my iPhone to the ipod which has a different Apple ID than the other but does not have a free text app?
    Also on the ipod he has the free text app he has not upgraded to ios7 and won't.

    Are the use the correct email address for the contact? Those are listed in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive. When Messaging somene the iOS devices used the email address (or phone number if applicable) listed in the Contact app for that person.
    Thus, it appears the you Contact apps only has that one email address listed for the person you are trying to Message.
    If he can send you a Messages can you reply to it? If so save the sender to your Contact app.

  • Why can't I receive calls from landline phones?

    My phone was fine until yesterday. I decided to change my service to another provider and since then I can no longer receive phone calls from landlines to my phone. The phone service has not switched over yet and I still have verizon service and It's the same number, just going to be with a different provider. I can call out and receive calls from cell phones just not landlines, they just go to some voicemail thing. Is this a problem with verizon's service, the fact that the phone is in transition of providers or something else?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Well, perhaps all the problems aren't gone, I have noise in the line now, and some people who call the line get a taped message, and leave messages on an "answering machine" that is not mine and that I cannot access in any way.
    This is not new technology. Come on, Verizon. Why did this stuff work in 1975 and not now?

  • My iPhone both sends and receives messages from 2 different phones. They are registered with the same iTunes account. What can I do to stop this?

    My partner and I both have iPhone 5s and an iPad. We registered all three products with the same iTunes account as we download music and movies together. I have noticed when my partner sends me a message it also appears on my phone that I have sent it AND recieved it. The same goes for when I text him. I send the message to his phone and my phone also recieves it. Facetime does the same thing. Its very strange. Does any one know what I can do to stop this from happening?

    To stop this, don't use the same Apple ID on both phones for iMessage and FaceTime.  (You can continue to use the same ID for iTunes; it doesn't need to be the same as the ID used for iMessage or FaceTime.)
    On one of the phones, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID.  Then do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

  • Verizon Moto G Can't Receive Messages From Non-Verizon Phones

    I recently had my Moto G activated with a ported number from another carrier. I can make and receive calls, but can only send out text messages. I can only receive texts from friends who also have Verizon. I have dialed *228 numerous times and contacted Customer Support via chat, but to no avail. I still can't receive text messages. Please help!!

    Thank you Snn5. I was thinking it may have to do with the port process. Hopefully it will resolve itself in the next day or two. I appreciate your quick reply and advice.
