Why can't I send an imessage on my ipad, but i can on my iphone? (Same receiver)

I can't send an imessage on my ipad, but I can when using my iphone. The message is being sent to the same person on both devices, but only the iphone sends it. The receiver is registered with imessage, but when I go to send the message, it says "this person is not registered with imessage". Also, emails do not work either. The send button is grey, and I am registered with imessage. Why does this happen? help?

OK.
Turn off and on (restart) your iOS device (press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds, then slide the slider.)
If restarting doesn’t fix it:
It has been reported that changing your DNS settings fixes this issue. To change DNS servers, follow these instructions for iOS devices (iPhone, iPod touch, iPad):

It means that the device the message was sent to did not reply that it had been received by the device.

Why can't my Iphone 4s receive texts from other iphone users?

I got my phone maybe 2 weeks ago and had no problem sending or receiving text messages. For the past 2 days, i have not been able to receive text messages from other iPhone users. My texts go through just fine but I never get a response back until they call and are like "well what do you think about blah blah?" But I have sent and rec'd text messages from people with other devices. What is going on?

Oh my! Let's ensure these text messages are flying both in and out of your device. I would suggest completing the newest iOS 7.0.3 update. Once this has been completed I would suggest retesting. Settings > Software update
You may also test with iMessage off. This will send messages to and from iPhone's as a regular text message. Settings > Messages > iMessage - Off

Are you using her Apple ID and email on your iPad? The Message app uses your Apple ID as the contact at which you can be reached.

They have an iOS device? If so, have them send as an SMS, not an iMessage.

I can't get texts on my ipad but I do on my iPhone. I have iMessage turned on.

Under no circumstances can you receive a text from an Android phone on the iPad. Using your iPhone number on your iPad, only allows you to keep the messages in sync across all iOS devices.
The messages app doesn't work with Android phones. It only works with other iOS devices and Macs running Mountain Lion or Mavericks. You can text with Android phones using an iPhone because that uses standard SMS text messaging.
So if your whole theory about the fact that you can't receive texts on the iPad was predicated on the fact that you don't get the texts from your husband's phone, now you know why. It's never going to happen with an Andriod device.

Try this first - 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.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

HT204053 Why can't Find iPhone locate all my devices ?

Why can't Find iPhone locate all my devices ?
It finds my iPhone, iPod, and only one of 2 iPads.
Sometimes, only finds iPhone and iPod only.
I don't use iCloud...had very bad experiences with it !!!
Lost all my Contacts and had duplicates and triplicates of entries in my Calender.
Took a long time to get back to "normal"
Stays far away from iCloud now !

Find My iPhone relies on iCloud. (It used to use MobileMe and may still do that, but that service is going away at the end of June, so you need your iCloud account for Find My iPhone.)

For that you have to talk to your carrier, what did they say?

Can I use iMessage on my ipad but also send texts using my Android?

I currently have an Android phone, so all of my contacts send and receive SMS messages to me. I am planning to purchase an iPad for a long trip, so that I can use iMessage to talk with friends and family that have iPhones, rather than have to use WhatsApp or Viber.
I am concerned that once I send an iMessage to someone it will save my number as an iPhone and if I switch back to SMS during the trip at all, I won't receive any of their messages (I am aware there is an easy fix for this but I'd rather not have to fix it every time I switch between the two).
I was wondering if this would be something to worry about before my purchase.
If anyone has both an iPad and an Android, and uses both to communicate simultaneously any insight would be really helpful.
Thanks!

The iPad cannot use your Android phone number at all so it will not in any way be associated with the device or your Apple ID. You will be using your Apple ID email address as your connect address to use Messages. If you want to look at it this way, your iPad/iMessages will be associated with your Apple account/Apple ID, not with the Android phone number.
Where some users get into problems is if they go from an iPhone number to an Android phone number. That is not what you are doing.

Why picture won't send via iMessage

Why my picture won't send via iMessage to my moms iPad mini?

It is very likely that it is a simple glitch. How long has this been going on though, if just today then try restarting your ipod. If its been going on for a while, then theres a problem
