How do I activate iMessage with no email?
This is designed to be a user discussion area. To provide feedback directly to Apple you can go to http://www.apple.com/feedback/
There are a few applications out now that may be able to help you out. 1Password and LastPass are both password vault or lockers. They allow you to save passwords for applications and websites. That way you have a single password you use to keep the vault/locker secure and then all of your other passwords are stored for you so you don't have to write them down or try to remember them all.

My imessage is working when im signed into my apple id butmy phone number is still not activated, my imessage still says waiting for activation how do i fix it ?
Go to Settings > Messages and turn iMessage OFF.
Then go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset Network Settings. Your phone will restart. You will not lose any data, but you will have to re-enter any Wi-Fi network passwords.
Once the phone has re-started and you have a network connection (either 3G or Wi-Fi), turn iMessage back ON. -
underneath my imessages when i go to settings says " waiting for activation" how do i fix this
ACTIVATING FACETIME AND IMESSAGES
Activating Facetime and Imessages on your phone requires the ability to send SMS messages and depending upon where you are that might be an international SMS. Check with your carrier to see if your plan supports sending of international SMS messages. If you are having trouble activating Facetime or Imessages turn them both off on your device and reset the device (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost)). Wait for the device to restart and wait a minute and turn Facetime and imessage back on and wait for activation. If that does not fix things read the following articles:

imessage and facetime says: "waiting for activation" why?
I am not completely sure if iMessage is available in Lebanon as of now, but try this it may help you.
Follow these steps: Settings > Messages > iMessage (click it off, then on) > 'Use your Apple ID for iMessage' > Change to new ID
Do the same with Facetime. -

Create the playlist folders.
Create the playlists inside them.
Drag your folders of music to their respective playlists.
You may want to visit Edit > Preferences > Advanced, then turn off the Keep... & Copy... options.

I tried to add an email address to imessage as well as my number so my friend could email me from their ipad.
Firstly it said there was a problem with my apple ID password so i reset that (new password works fine, i have been able to download apps etc since!)
Now under iMessage it just says waiting for activation.. and it is only here i get the message saying my password is incorrect?!
I have tried rebooted and restarted phone many times.
I can no longer send imessages to other iphones, just texts! Its driving me mad!
why will it not recognise my password?! i even tried adding an extra email account and verified that with the password - worked fine!

Don't understand why my Imessaging stopped working. If I go to settings messages and check out Imessaging it just says waiting for activation.
Change the DNS servers of the wifi network to 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4
Go to settings>general>date&time> set automaticly , turn it on if it wasn't
then settings>general>reset>reset network settings
restart the phone -

I have an old iPod Touch with old software that can no longer be updated:
iOS version 6.1.6
I've been searching for a solution to my iMessage login problem for months and tried everything from those frustrating links and all the tips from other users.
Here is what finally worked:
1) Settings > Privacy > Location Services > On
2) Settings > General > Date & Time > Set Automatically > On
3) Reboot device until Apple logo appears
4) Settings > Messages > Sign In -
