Cannot log in to iMessage w/ iOS 5

I have been trying to log into iMessage in the Settings app (under Messages), but after entering my Apple ID and password, I get the message that my iPhone 4 can't establish a login.
Funny thing is, my phone has logged into iCloud under the same Apple ID, and mail and syncing works.  Why is iMessage being problematic?  Anyone else have the same problem?
Who can I contact at Apple with regards to Apple ID issues?  I can't seem to find this out either.
Thanks for any pointers.

Has anybody found a fix for the login problem?
I can open the iMessge app on my Macbook Air, but since upgrading to Mountain Lion the option to login remains "greyed out".
Regards,
Andrew

    i cannot log into my iMessage account from my macbook pro. but is able to login from other devices. I had to replace my logic board an year ago, could this create a problem?

    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ About This Mac
    Below the "OS X" legend in the window that opens, the OS version appears. Click the version line twice to display the serial number. If the number is missing or invalid according to this web form, take the machine to an Apple Store or other authorized service center to have the problem corrected.

  • Cannot log in imessage in my ipad

    I cannot log in imessage in my mini ipad.  Does anyone know why?

    Try a Restart. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
     Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple. 
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

  • After 11.1 and ios 7 update, cannot log into ipad. says apple ID already in use. no issues prior to updates.

    After 11.1 and ios 7 update, cannot log into ipad. says apple ID already in use. no issues prior to updates.tried both primary and backup emails. says both already in use

    randers4, thank you for the suggestions.
    1) I have contacted Verizon and they are not blocking "premium" or 3rd party text messages.
    2) The Apple ID login issue occurs regardless of wi-fi network location, or even if I am not on wi-fi at all. Router settings are irrelevant to this problem.
    3) I have already played around extensively with date and time settings. This did not fix any issues.
    Any other suggestions? I had another call with Apple support and they are of the opinion that I may need to have the phone totally replaced, which is unacceptable unless it is free of charge.

  • Cannot activate iMessage after iOS update.

    Cannot activate iMessage after iOS update. "Activation unsuccessful" I cannot activate it.

    Have you updated your iOS to 5.1? Just confirming as it says "iPhone 4S, iOS 5.0.1" in your thread.
    Double check if you have credit in your mobile in order to activate iMessage.
    Turn iMessage off and on again, than turn off your phone (long press display off and on button) and slide to turn off. Turn your phone back on, enter your "Apple I.D" in the iMessage window and wait till it verifies everything.
    Tell us if it solves the issue.

    I recently updated my IOS using the beta found on an iTunes account link... Ever since then I've been unable to log into my iMessages and FaceTime account through my iTunes.  The only explanation it gives me is that my connection was lost.... What to do?

    It was downloaded through my iTunes account... So im sure it wasn't pirated. It's nothing more than a beta test to work out the bugs.  But do u have any suggestions as to how i can about redownloading the same iOS but now the 'bugs' should be all worked out....

  • Cannot log into iMessage or FaceTime it says an error has occured

    iimessage was not delivering so tried to log back into iMessage and facetime but it tells me an error has occured during activation and to try again

    Hello meganatherton2000,
    Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
    It appears that you get an error when trying to activate iMessage and FaceTime on your iPad mini.
    You mentioned that you signed out of iMessage and FaceTime because messages were not delivering. Be sure to restart your iPad mini before trying to sign back in to iMessages or FaceTime, as mentioned in this article:
    If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime - Apple Support
    Restart your device.
    If this issue continues and iMessage can't be activated for more than an hour, the article above suggests contacting Apple Support:
    Still not activated after an hour?
    It might take a few minutes to activate iMessage and FaceTime. If you've waited more than an hour, try these steps:
    Make sure that your device has the latest version of iOS.
    If you're using an iPhone, contact your carrier to make sure that you can receive SMS messages.
    Contact Apple Support.
    Sincerely,
    Jeremy

  • TS2755 Ever since I updated my phone to iOS 7 I cannot send or receive iMessages. How can I fix this

    I updated my iPhone 4 a few weeks ago to iOS 7. Ever since I did that I cannot send or receive iMessages. How can I fix this???

    Try powering the iPhone off and back on. If that doesn't help, go to Settings -> General -> Reset and reset the Network Settings. Reports are that one of those two steps have cured problems with iMessages for many people.
    Regards.
