Why can't I send messages to my contacts from my ipad

Why can't I send messages to my contacts on my iPad?

WEll, I send messages to everyone on my iphone, just cant get certain ones  on the ipad.  Only 4 or 5 people so far can get my messages and respond on ipad.   All the  people have iphones and I use facetime to talk to them, but no imessages.....frustrating.  I have read all the articles and tried my best.   I might go straight to the apple store locally, and see if they can help me.

  • Why can't I send an iMessage to someone from my iPad unless they message me first?

    Why can't I send an iMessage to someone from my iPad unless they message me first?  Even if it is someone I have chatted with on iMessage before, if they have been cleared off my screen, I can't send them anything unless they message me first.  I know for a fact they have an up to date iPhone.

    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):
    Tap Settings
    Tap Wi-Fi on the left-hand side
    Tap the blue arrow next to your current Wi-Fi network
    Tap the “DNS” field and enter the DNS servers; 8.8.8.8
    Now see if it is working.

    What phone do you have?  And how, exactly, are you trying to send pictures to Facebook?  It sounds like you need to log into Facebook on the phone or re-enter your username and password for Facebook.  Somehow the connection between your photos and Facebook has been lost, and you need to get them connected again (verify your login information)

  • I recently upgraded from a Droid X to the LG Spectrum 2. Why can I not send messages?

    I recently upgraded to a LG Spectrum 2 and have been having trouble sending messages. It either takes a REALLY long time to send a message or it doesn't send at all. It seems I had better service with my old Droid X. Does anyone know why the slow message time with 4G?

  • Why Can I Not Send Messages or Video Calls?

    My sister and I both have 4th gen. 8gig. itouches. Neither of us can video Call our friends through FaceTime of send them imessages(our friends have 4th gen Itouches).  We are both logged on but we can't send/recieve anything! I've all ready tried toggle the app on/off and setting the time to automatic. So please give me some different advice   ThanksApplefreak1257

    I'm also a RoadRunner customer and although RR has a different SMTP server for each designated geographic area, RR's SMTP server does not require separate authentication from their incoming mail server and is not supported.
    Unless you have None selected for the SMTP server authentication, it will not work.
    Port 110 is for the incoming mail server and since RR is your ISP, Port 25 works for their SMTP server.
    RR does not block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network on Port 25 as long as the SMTP server is authenticated such as the .Mac SMTP server but I use 587 for the SMTP server port with .Mac's SMTP server and lately I've been using RR's SMTP server to send messages with my .Mac account so i know both work when connected to the internet via RR.
    Apple prevents using .Mac's authenticated SMTP server to send messages with any other account besides your .Mac account.

  • Why can't we send messages in Game Center?

    When will we be allowed to send Messages in Game Center?

    The way you worded your questions showed that you already knew you couldn't do it. And you didn't ask "how do you do it?", otherwise I would have answered "you can't".
    You asked "when?" and I answered that question. Apple has not said if they ever plan to add messaging to Game Center, let alone when that may be if they do decide to add it, so the question of "when?" cannot be answered any more accurately than I did.
    If you don't want "a generic none chalant", don't ask a generic nonchalant question. Ask what you actually want to know.

  • Why can't I send an attachment with an email on IPad?

    There doesn't seem to be a way in mail to send an attachment. I'm baffled as to why Apple would leave this feature out!

    I am using the mail app on my Macbook Pro with charter email.  I click the paperclip. Choose the document. It shows up in my email.  I click the paper airplane.  Wait.  Then get...
    "Cannot send message using charter.net.  Sending the message content to the server failed.Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or try later to leave the message in your outbox until it can be sent."
    Connection Doctor is all green.
    Checked the SMPT server list and can't find a problem.
    All other emails go through just fine.
    I just upgraded to Mountain Lion and stay up date.
    I remember this happening when I first got my Mac a few years ago and quit using the mail app. because I couldn't solve it.  Now it is just driving me crazy. 

  • Why can't I send iMessages to an iPhone from my laptop?

    I am using a new MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013) with Yosemite 10.10.1 and trying to send text messages to people using the messages app.  Both people I tried to send messages to have iPhones.  I get the same results each time.  You can see by the attached image that I get a red exclamation mark.  When I click on that I get the "your message could not be sent dialog"   Does anyone have any advice for me?

    Hi,
    It is likely to be something in the Mac User Account.
    Messages creates several .plist that start com.apple.ichat
    Some refer to the accounts for AIM, Jabber and Yahoo and the Subnet one is for Bonjour.
    There is a Shared List one (for Recent Chats that Yosemite's Messages does not display) and the Status Messages one I have posted to Eric about.
    This one com.apple.imservice.ids.iMessage.plist deals with calling the info from the Keychain about the item there.
    This one com.apple.imessage.bag.plist holds the server info the the iMessages account is logged into.
    com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.madrid.plist  is the one that holds the Apple ID used in the  iMessages Account and any other ID linked to that iMessages accounts.
    I would delete the last of these and restart the Messages app.
    You may have to re-enter the Apple ID.
    (And accept the pop ups about the iPhone number)
    If that does not work try also deleting the iMessage.bag one as this will force a Server connection when the app is restarted.
    If that does not work open the Keychain Access App in Applications/Utilities
    With Login in the top left box
    Passwords in the lower left selected find the IDS: AppleID iniMesages-Auth token item and delete it (the italics bit will be your Apple ID)
    Restart the App again.
    Check the Contacts app has your detail in the My Card (Contacts > Preferences > Card > My Card)
    After that if it has not worked it is a long process of moving half the listed Apple.com .plists to the Desktop (I would create a folder to hold them)
    And then restarting the computer.
    You then have to move half the moved ones back to Preferences replacing newer items that have been made if nothing has been solved.
    i.e move A to M to the desktop folder. as the apps read the plists you will need to restart.  Then move A to F back so there is a gap between F and N (so you can see where you are up to)
    Repeat a 1/2 the reminder until you find the faulty .plist. (complete with restarts each time and replacing new .plist when you move old ones back)
    Most likely this will be a group move so you will have to work the last move you made.
    This is very time consuming.
    If you decide that replacing them all might be the way to go then keep the following:-
    Anything with Address Book In it (Some info in in the .plists that you need)
    Same for Mail
    Any item for purchased apps from Apple Like Pages, Numbers, iWeb and so on as this may contain License info
    Do not Delete the Desktop item until you are sure you don't need them and everything is working.
