Why don't my iMessages don't go to my iPad?

I have iMessage configured on both.  I can send an iMessage to a contact, but when they reply, it doesn't return to my iPad.  In fact, NO iMessages goto iPad.
They are configured the same, with the same AppleID.
I don't understand, this is not how Apple said it should function.  Cannot resume, or continue conversation when switching devices as Steve demoed.

I've been playing with this. In order for them to show up on both devices, messages must be sent to your apple ID. I also changed my iPhone to send messages from my apple ID. Keep in mind conversations you have already started by sending from your phone number will not show up on both devices. I found that I had to start a new message to get it on both devices once I changed my caller ID on the iPhone. iPhone settings/message/receive at/ caller ID. There will not be a caller ID option if your apple ID is not registered under messages on your iPhone.

  • Why don't apple invent an iPad Note with a pen?

    Why don't apple invent an iPad Note with a pen like Samsung Note? we really new one from apple design specially students.

    I do not understand?  You can readily use a stylus with an iPad now (I do) and there are many note taking apps that allow free form handwriting and drawing,  (TopNotes, Notebook+, Notes Plus to name just three I am familiar with).  There are also several apps that do handwriting recognition and convert your printed or written words to text (I have WritePad for that, works very well).
    What is that you think is lacking with an iPad now?

  • Using iCloud - why don't my iPhone and iPad calendar appointments match?

    I use iPhone 5C and iPad Air.
    I recently decided to ditch using Outlook 2010 Calendar on my PC (Windows 8) and switch to iCloud - a drastic decision after using Outlook for 15 years.
    I created a new iCloud account and turned on Contacts and Calendar (I only want to sync these two functions) on both devices.
    I also selected 'Sync events 6 months ago' on both devices.
    With everything crossed, I expected to see the same calendar entries on both devices sync with each other, creating duplicate calendars, but this is not the case.
    All calendar events for the last 6 months appear on my iPad but not on my iPhone (although some do).
    Any suggestions what might have caused this and what the solution is?
    I've been trying to resolve the issue for the last couple of days without any luck.
    Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks.
    Steve

    Hi Steve
    Thanks very much for your speedy response.
    I have considered trying this. But when when I turn off Settings->iCloud->Calendar I get a message that says:
    What would you like to do with the previously synced iCloud calendars on your iPhone? Keep on my iPhone. Delete from my iPhone. Cancel.
    I cancelled the action as I don't know what option I should chose. If I select Delete from my iPhone, does this also delete them from the iCloud, which will in turn delete them from my iPad? Or do I select keep on my iPhone?
    Thanks.

  • Why don't my emails on iPad show up on desktop and can be deleted

    When emails come into my iPad and desktop I can delete from one or the other but not bot at the same time.

    "pfauslled?"  I'm afraid that I can't understand your message at all, so I'll just answer the question in the subject line.  If you're using an iCloud calendar on both devices, it certainly should show the same events.  If you created a whole bunch of events offline, it's possible they haven't been pushed to iCloud yet...  Open the Calendar app when you are online and let it get fully synced, on both devices.  Also, tap the Calendars button in the top left corner of the screen in the Calenar app, and make sure that the same calendars are visible in both places.  If you don't see the same calendars, go to Settings > iCloud and make sure Calendars is turned on on both devices.  Oh, and if one of those devices has not been updated to iOS 5, do that.

  • Why don't my iPhone and iPad sync wirelessly anymore?

    I just started college and ever since I got here, my phone and iPad 4 have not been syncing with iTunes wirelessly and it drives me crazy. I have wifi here and they're all connected to the same network...what might be preventing this from working?

    Settings>iCloud>Photo Stream>On. Do that on both devices. Or Settings>Photos and Camera>Photo Stream>On.
    Photo Stream will only work with new photos that you have taken with either device - after you turn it on. It will not stream photos that were on the device before you turned it on.
    And of course, you must be connected to Wifi in order for it to work.

  • Why don't I receive iMessages on my iPad when sent to my iPhone?  When I send messages from my iPad, they show up on my iPhone, but doesn't hold true the opposite way?

    Why don't I receive iMessages on my iPad when sent to my iPhone?  When I send messages from my iPad, they show up on my iPhone, but doesn't hold true the opposite way?

    Ok. So I figured out that I can add the email address to my iPhone 4s to receive the iMessages sent/received from my iPad. How do I get the messages on my iPad that were sent to my iPhone?  Is it possible?

  • HT4436 Why don't all my contacts and calendar events on my iMac (version 10.7.4) stream onto iCloud? For instance, there are 470 entries in my address book but only 270 on iCloud. And not all my appointments in iCal are transferred.

    I have the same problem transfering Address book on iMac to contacts on iPhone (old version 3G - on iCloud). this is a hard wired connection

    Might you have 200 entries in On My Mac groups and some of your appointments in On My Mac calendars?

    Reboot your router. The icon only shows when connected to wifi and Apple TV or similar device. Same thing happened with my phone and the icon appeared in control center after router reboot.

  • Why don't I have the same options in my calendar for appointments iCloud/iPad

    Why don't I have the same opoisions in my calendar for appointments? Online in iCloud calendar there are options to pick from for days of the week and how many weeks to set an appointment. Why can't I do this on my iPhone or iPad? Am I missing a setting to be able to do this? I make most of my apointments away from my desk and would like to send a invitation at that time.

    Restart iPhone: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).

  • Why don't my tags show up when re-saving a document that I previously tagged?

    I love the idea of tags. I use them religiously in Lightroom to organize and recall my photos. The one thing that makes tags ineffective though is the amount of effort it takes to enter them. But being a true believer of the value I do it. That being said, the way Apple has implemented tags is driving me nuts.
    I create a document
    I click save
    I enter a name and
    I enter tags  - BTY I wish I could expand the tagging window to see all the tags I have entered and all the tags that are available
    Later I make changes to my document and I want to add tags so I selected save as
    PROBLEM - All the tags that I previously saved with this document are gone. I have to renter them.  This is horrible!
    Why don't my tags show up when re-saving a document that I previously tagged? Is there anyway to get my Mac to recognize that I previously tagged this file and display my tags?
    If not, APPLE PLEASE FIX SOON.

    Adobe Lightroom issues are best posted in the Adobe forums - not an Apple issue to be addressed, even though it is occurring in a OSX 'Save Dialog'.
