iPad messages

The Message app that comes with the iPad is missing on my sons iPad. How do I get it back?

What iOS version do you have? Since iOS 5 (i)Message is always installed. Please let me know;)

The Apple Messages app was added by iOS 5. You need to update to iOS 5
iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5

To check version go to Settings>General>About>Version

Have yu tried using the Spotligh search to try to fin it? Maybe yu just can't find it?

If you go to Setting do you find a setting for Messages? It is a green icone with a white cloud.

Hi jrinsaxt,

I see you posted iPad, iOS 4.

What generation iPad do you have?

If you are currently using iOS 4 you will need to update to at least iOS 5 for iMessage.

Take a look at this article:

Also, IIIaass is correct.

Please follow IIIaass' instructions.

It says 4.3.5

There is no option to update like it should. How do I update?

With the iPad connected to iTunes, selecting Check For Update under the Summary tab for the iPad sync preferences with iTunes does what?

Kjt822,

Like Allan Sampson suggest you will have to connect your iPad to your computer with the 30 pin dock connector to usb cable then launch iTunes, and then you should get prompted for a(n) iOS update, if not, make sure your iPad is showing under 'Devices' on left hand side, then select your device. Then you should get a window with several panes (tabs). Select the Summary Pane (tab) and in the section labeled 'Version' select 'Check for Update'.

Hope this helps.
