Why don't my text messages appear on my iPhone and ipad?

Why don't my texts/iMessages appear on both my iPad and iPhone?  If I'm texting on my iPad, the conversation  doesn't appear on my iPhone and visa versa.

    Hi julian KAYE!
    You will want to make sure that both your computer and phone have all options checked in the “Start new conversations from” section in your Messages settings:
    iOS: Using Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3529
    You can change the address that new iMessage conversations are started with in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Start new conversations from. Note that this setting applies only to new conversations. If you would like to change the address from which messages are sent, first change this setting, and then delete the existing conversation and start a new one.

  • My calendar appointments show for future events, but disappear once I reach the day of the event.  So I can see tomorrow's appointments now, but they will be gone tomorrow.  Why is this happening?  It's on my iPhone and iPad.

    For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices. 
    That all works.
    It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now.  They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
    I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
    Thanks for listening,

  • Texts(iMessages) not syncing between iPhone and iPad. How can it be fixed?

    After installing IOS .7.2 update for version 7.0
    My texts no longer sync.
    Happens to sent  and received.
    I have texts on iPad thatt didn't arrive on my iPhone and vise versa.
    Internet all good on both.
    My texts usually come in at the same time to iPhone and iPad,  or a few seconds apart, if that
    They aren't updating. I get some, but not all. I'm carrying on two different convos on my phone or iPad with the same person, not realizing I've missed some of their texts.
    Besides the rests and restarts if which I've done to both, any suggestions on how I can fix this?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Take it to your nearest Apple Store and get them to have a look at for you...

  • I have created Notes in my yahoo account. Some of the Notes pages does not show up, though they are still inside Yahoo mail account. How to ensure that all pages in my Yahoo notes appear in my iphone and ipad

    I have Notes in my Yahoo email account. Some of the pages disappear or could not be found in iphone or ipad, though they are still inside my yahoo Notes
    How to make sure that all my Yahoo Notes pages appear in iphone and ipad all the time

    I had the exact same issue!! Seriously p*ssed me off when I checked out my ITunes purchased items (via my computer) and noticed that most of the additional tracks listed on my IPhone playlist was listed there too. However, I never authorized any purchases!!  (I have actually written Apple Support asking for a full refund of all tracks listed on my purchased list)
    Be careful when you swipe your finger to the left/right on those "additional" tracks on your IPhone playlist... I'm pretty sure that the cloud symbol is an option to download or automatically buy those tracks.
    Solution for the problem:
    1 - go to your IPhone settings
    2 - choose "iTunes & App Store"
    3 - go to "Show All" & "Music"
    4 - turn off "Music" by moving the bar to the left (it should be a white color once you turn it off)
    Should solve your problem :~)

  • Why aren't my contacts not syncing between my iPhone and iPad ?

    I normally add contacts onto my iPhone and I noticed that the new ones are not appearing on my iPad contacts so I end up having to share them via messages or email. Anyone know why this is happening? Thanks.

    First things to check is to make sure iCloud is on on both devices and you are signed I n to the same account on each device. Also check to make sure Contacts syncing is on on both devices.

  • Why aren't the images in NOTES syncing to iPhone and iPad?

    In Mountain Lion we can now include images and such in our notes. Should they sync to our devices as well???

    I'm only seeing a paperclip icon on iPhone and iPad.  Also there seems to be no way of viewing the image indicated by the paperclip.  There is also no way I can find to insert an image into a note on the iPhone or iPad so this lauded feature seems a bit redundant.

  • Why does photostream play from beginning to end on iphone and ipad, but from end to beginning on appletv?

    I created a photo stream of my daughter from birth to 12 months which plays in the correct order on my ipad and iphone and anyone elses devices. When i play it on Apple TV they always play in reverse. I know it can also show the pictures randomly, but the point of doing it was to let relatives in other parts of the world see her as she grows! I cannot find any settings to alter this. I would be grateful for any advice on how to change this. Thanks

    I agree this is a really dumb change and I really hope Apple changes it back to the way it was.
    In iOS 6 and earlier when you were in the Music player and selected ARTIST it would show a list sorted by artist. When you selected the artist you wanted, it would show a list of their albums.  Then you could select the album and see the list of songs.  In iOS 7 after you select Artist, it displays the album and every track, so you have to scroll down through not only the album but every track on that album.   That was a really stupid change on Apple's part.  Makes no sense.
    Here is the list of albums under iOS 6.x...
    and here is what is looks like under iOS 7.0
    In iOS 7.0 you have to scroll down through all the songs to see the other albums.  That can be a really pain if you have a large music collection.
    Please Apple change it back to the way it was!!  This didn't need to change!

  • After working great why will my home share not work on my iphone and ipad mini

    I had been running home share on my iphone great.  I share a music library with my wife.  We just bought an ipad mini and i was messing around with the ipad and set up home share, however it would not work.  I tried logging out of my iphone and re connect and it will no longer connect.  I have not been able to get home share to work on the mini.

  • Why isn't iTunes recognising our devices anymore ie iPhone and iPad.

  • Some messages sent/received on my iphone and ipad do NOT show in Messages Beta. Why?

    In the past 4 weeks I started experiencing this issue: some of the messages I send from my iphone and ipad will NOT show in Messages Beta for Mac OSX. Likewise, some of the messages received on my iphone and ipad often don't show on my Messages Beta.

    HI,
    The best I have on this at the moment is that the Messages App is still Beta.
    Secondly there have been some changes to the way the iMessages parts are syncing.
    This may be due to Apple making changes to the iMessages server and the resultant sync issue to do with that.
    Of course in the change over, if my guess is right, some messages may have been lost.
    Some of this seems to be altering the  way Messages get Flagged as to whether they were delivered or not.
