Do you both have iMessage? If one of the devices isn't set up, it wont work.

Sent from my one and only original iPad using iPF

Welcome to ipf,

If you are on iOS 5 and you are talking about iMessage, look here at this thread. http://www.ipadforums.net/ipad-apps...ave the time of your life. Regards, ~Chays~

Make sure you are typing your message in the text field and not the subject field. To avoid confusion you can turn off the the Subject field in Settings > Messenger.

Ok not really savvy iPad user but how do you use iMessage. When I chose contact I get a exclamation next to name. Please help.

Messanger on the iPad only works over wi-fi and with other iOS devices. The other person must also have set it up, either with their email for the iPad/iPod or their phone number for the iPhone.

If Messenger has a problem delivering the message, for whatever reason, you get the exclamation point.

I my gosh thank you so much! Half the time I could send the other half not. Spent a LOng time on the phone. No help. I was ready to send it in after their dug guested troiubleshooting failed. And out of warranty. Duh I was still n the subject field

Heads up last year I had a problem with my iPhone. Sent for a new one and before it arrived I figured it out. Just like in this case it was a simple issue and something tech should have known.

When trying to use iMessage on my ipad2 the send button is grey, and I'm unable to send a message.
How do I correct this problem?
