Re: Messages on ipad - iCloud Family Sharing

Thanks for this Ronni, there is a bit of reading to do to digest all that. Before I had even spoken to Apple Support, the decision to update my Apple ID password was made and reinforced by your indication to do this - I hadn't chosen to ignore the advice. I had some family events and busy work

Re: Messages on ipad - How Apple could improve Family Sharing

Thanks for that Neil, the writer seems to be user who has a heavy use of cloud based data storage. I am not and this is a legacy of pre-cloud data storage days. I accept that cloud storage gives a level of data security that local hard disc/Time Capsule backups don't have (in the event of theft/

Re: Messages on ipad - iCloud Family Sharing

Hi Peter, I’ve added to your subject - iCloud Family Sharing I was not going to add anything more as I've given you all information on iCloud Family Sharing before, and mentioned that you first needed to update your Apple ID password security. Which you chose to ignore until Apple support also

Hi Peter, No direct experience, but I recently read this: I guess the ³how it could be improved² bit implies current limitations ­ which may or may not be important to you. HTH Cheers Neil -- Neil R. Hought

Re: Messages on ipad

Hi all, I did eventually get this resolved. I had to take the plunge and update my Apple ID password - ugghhh. Anyway, it was relatively simple and without complications. As soon as I made the change - all my kids came to me holding their respective devices saying “Dad, I have to update the pass

Re: Messages on ipad

Hi again, I spent half an hour on the phone to apple support. The lady was very helpful and convinced me that I will have to change my Apple ID password. BUT, before I do that, I’d like to understand if there is sufficient motivational pressure to make the move to a Family Shared environment at

Hi Ronni, I did that and still no good. I then did a "Clear all content and settings" and then restore from backup - same issue after setup. I am puzzled by my inability to being able to get into the "Manage your Apple ID" page. When logging in I am presented with "Update your Apple ID". A bit o

Re: Messages on ipad

Hi Ronni, I recognised that during the process of trying to verify the iPad had somehow become not connected to the Wifi network. I simply reconnected to the Wifi which allowed the iPad to positively allow the Find my iPad to switch off. So this allowed me to do a proper reset and then restore

Re: Messages on ipad

Hi Peter, Try - Put the iPad in recovery mode and set it up again. You can then restore your device without signing out of Find my iPad. 1. Connect your device to your computer and open iTunes. 2. While your device is connected, force restart it: Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home butto

Re: Messages on ipad

Hi Ronni, thanks, well I am trying now to erase the iPad but I get into a vicious circle I can't seem to get out of - which probably explains the iMessages problem I'm having anyway. So if I break the loop I'm in then the problem will probably solve itself. Anyway, I can't erase because to do

Re: Messages on ipad

Hi Peter, Have you tried a hard reset on the iPad? First try resetting your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple logo appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Slide to Unlock screen redisplays, see if th

Re: Messages on ipad

I followed some Apple Support instructions on this problem and it lead me to "verify email addresses associated with your Apple ID". In going down that path, I had to log into the Apple ID managing space. So I entered my Username/password and it told me I need to update my password as it is not

Re: Messages on ipad

Thanks for this Ronni, that is bizarre, in the "You can be reached by imessage at" section, her email address is ticked and that is all that is ticked (she has no phone number). At this same screen there is no section "Start new conversations from" at all. I probably need to do a restore to fa

Messages on ipad

I'm having a problem getting messages to properly behave on my daughter's iPad mini. It has worked well in the past. I can send her a message from my iPhone (goes blue) and it is received but does not show as delivered on my iPhone. If sending a message from her iPad, it seems to process as th
