I attempt to send an e-mail to an address in my Directory and it comes up in a pink block with a red circled exclamation point at the end. "Clicking" on the circle brings a pop-up saying the address is not registered for iMessages. How do I register ??

When I try to address an e-mail to an address in my iPad's Directory, the name comes up inside a pink block with a red circled exclamation point at the right hand end. "Clicking" on the red circle, gives me a pop-up saying the address is not registered for an iMessage. How do I register my Directory addresses for an iMessage??

iMessages is only for iOS devices.

You can't register anyone, they must have an Apple device and register themselves.

You can't register someone else. They have to register and setup messages on their device themselves before you can message with them. You can't do it from your device.
