IOS 7.0.3 issues-iMessage, FaceTime, Push Notifications not working

I recently upgraded to iOS 7.0.3. Now I cannot sign in to FaceTime or iMessage, and Push Notifications don't work—instead, I receive a message saying "Connect to iTunes to use Push Notifications." I've connected to and synced with iTunes. It didn't work. I've tried multiple WiFi networks. Doesn't work. I cannot back up and restore on my computer, and would rather not restore with iCloud, if at all possible. Please help!

I had the same exact problem with my iPhone 4. I fixed it by putting my phone in restore mode and then kicking it back out of it. I mention 2 ways. The 1st one is something I think should work because it is based around the same concept. The 2nd method is what I used and is a bit more risky but thats the one I used.
1st method (can't confirm that this works but it just might)
The hard reboot. this is done by holding the HOME and POWER button at the same time until the screen goes blank. Then turn it on again using just the POWER button. This will take a while to turn on so don't panic just have some patience.
2nd method (the one I used)
This is how to do it.
BACK UP before attempting this. The restore mode I used is a kind of a bootable mode which is reversable (not sure if it works on other phone, so IPHONE 4 PEOPLE ONLY).
Turn the phone off the normal way. After it is turned off, hold the HOME button and connect the USB. Continue holding the HOME button until connect to itunes logo on the phone shows up and itunes will pop up saying "a device in restore mode..".
Dissconnect the USB. Now hold the POWER button until the phone turns off (it will after 10 seconds or so). Now turn it on again using the POWER button. It might take a while to turn on(don't panic, have patience). With any luck all the notifications should work and you should be able to sign in into imessage and facetime.

  • IMessages, Facetime, push notifications not working on new iPhone 5!

    Hello Community,
    I just upgraded this afternoon from my iPhone 4 to a new iPhone 5. I am currently connected to my wifi network and just noticed iMessages and facetime wont work! I tried signing in using my apple id and it says check your connection and try again or waiting for activation. I know there isn't an issue with my apple ID as i used it on my old iphone 4 and just purchased some apps in the store and it worked great! wnl
    Also, the apps I downloaded are telling me to connect to iTunes to recieve push notifications, but push notifications are on for the apps! I also connected and synced my iPhone with my computer to try to solve all issues stated above, no dice.  I realize these questions have been asked several times, so sorry to repeat a thread! Any help appreciated.

    Hello there M.air.21,
    I think I have the perfect article for you. It's named iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation and can be found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4268. It should help you resolve any issues with getting FaceTime and iMessage activated.
    All the very best,

  • IMessage and push notifications not working after installing iOS 7!!

    My iMessages and push notifications don't work after installing iOS7..!!! I can't even log in to iMessages using my Apple ID.. And every time I log into Facebook or whatsapp it keeps telling me to connect to iTunes to receive push notifications..!!
    I connected to iTunes on my comp and tried resetting my phone.. Nothing works!! HELP

    Its stuffed, iMessage and facetime are both sitting on "waiting for activation" so they are not working, 1 post suggested resetting the phone again setting up as a new phone and then turning iMessage and Facetime on and then restoring.  After the reset iMessage and Facetime started working, I did the restore and it stopped working again.  Nice waste of 2 hours.

  • Exchange push notifications not working on iphone5

    My work email is exchange, and it doesn't push on my new iPhone 5. I have all of the settings right for pushing. If I go to my mail, it says 'Checking Mail' and then new message show up. Any help with push notifications not working on the 5? Thank you.

    This is an issue that a lot of people are having...   it's all on this thread.

    The 'fix' that is decribed in the first post does not work.  The only workaround is if you are on Wi-Fi, turn off Cellular Data and then reset the push service by turning on Airplane mode for a few seconds and then turn it back off.  Seems to be an issue with the iOS talking to the new LTE CDMA chip on Verizon and Sprint iPhone 5s.  

  • Iphone5 push notifications not working

    iphone5 push notifications not working. But All ok with my iphone4s. All settings are same. Any idea what is wrong?

    I am having this problem, too. I have several apps I require to notify me of things going on in my business but none of them appear or make a sound to alert me.

  • Push Notifications not working on any app (Whatsapp, Beejive, Mail) after update 5.1.1, Help!

    I'm gonna try to be clear with my problem. I have a Gmail Account working on Microsoft Exchange, for IM messaging I'm using Beejive IM with Push and I'm also using Whatsapp.  Before Updating it to iOS 5.1.1 all Push notifications were working flawless, however, after I upgraded it to 5.1.1, I began having troubles. After 1 minute of having the Iphone locked, I don't get any push notification, nor on the email, nor on the Whatsapp, neither on the Beejive. If I unlock it and I re-open one of them, for ex, I go to check my contact list on Beejive, I get all the mails, and all the instant msgs that people had sent to me after I locked my iPhone; it's like, my iPhone was locked for 30 minutes. In those 30 minutes people sent me 4 msgs on whatsapp, 4 msgs on beejive and 4 mails. Once I unlock my iPhone and I go to one of the 3 apps (mail, whatsapp or beejive), I get the 12 items (4 msg from whatsapp, 4 msgs from beejive and 4 mails) at that exactly time. It's crazy, it's like, with this new update push notifications got disabled for every app or what happened to my iPhone on this upgrade? I really need help. WIthout Push, none of them apps works cool for me. I'm using Iphone 4 on a 3G network.
    Ps: I tried restoring it x3, I unistalled the apps, mail, etc and nothing worked.
    PS2: If someone is using whatsapp or beejive im with push on the new iOS 5.1.1 and push notifications are working good for them, please let me know it so I will know it's my iPhone hardware problem to bring it to technical service
    Thanks in advance

    SAME PROBLEM
    The Apple store are trying to say they know nothing of this problem,  they know that if  you delete your yahoo mail and then add the account again then push notification works for a day.  So they do that for you, but won't listen when you tell them that it won't be working by the next day! This is to get you out of the shop.  They don't have an answer to why your other notifications aren't working (like alerts etc) even though you have push on.
    So what are we to do?  The main point for me getting an iPhone was being able to be alerted when I received an email as I am out and about all day!
    How can we get somebody in Apple to admit this problem and find a resolve for it before we all have to go buy a phone that will notify you of your email, messages ans alert?

  • Push notification not working properly

    Hi,
    I have bought a factory unlocked iphone3gs 8GB on IOS 4.3.5 and found that push notifications are not working properly.
    Its working for KIK messanger but not for Google+, Facebook and other news app like CNN.
    I tried the reset all setting option as suggested by many people but still no luck.
    Why is that the notifications work for one app and not for others? I have allowed all apps to use notification.
    One weird observation is that when I try to enable push notification on NYTimes app in app settings, it automatically turns to off after 2 seconds..
    Thanks
    Kapil

    It's Facebook, their push notifications are pretty flaky.

  • Push notifications not working on 4g/cellular data

    i have an iphone 5s with latest ios 7.
    recently the push notification stopped working under cellular data (lte most of the time, 3g other times). if i turn on wifi, push notification works fine. in fact if i turn on wifi after a few days i get al the push notification from the past few days.
    i have 'background refresh' turned on for al the apps concerned but doesn't seem to have any affect.

    Same thing is happening to me when using silent push notifications for my app.  They do not get received on my iPhone 6 when cellular data is being used.  On wifi they get through just fine.  Have you had any feedback on this?

  • Why are AOL push notifications not working with OS 6?

    After installing IOS6 I am unable to get my AOL Push notifications to work on my Iphone4 or Ipad2.  I did try to delete the accounts and then installed them again.  After that I re-booted each device, but no luck.  Is this a problem others are having?
    Thanks,
    Bruce

    You're welcome. The request has been sent in. I first saw your post in the Using Apple Support Communities Forum, now I see it's been moved to the iPod Forum, hopefully it will get moved again.

  • Push notifications not working in ios 7 on iphone 5

    Since upgrading to ios 7 on my iphone 5 push notifications are not working, specifically for mail, mailbox, whatsapp and messages. I have checked all settings multiple times, hard reset and restored from back up a number of times with no results. I set the notification centre so show on the lock screen just for notifications, but get nothing.
    Is anyone else having the same problem? Is it a bug with ios7 or a bug with the apps?
    Regards

  • Facebook For iOS App Push Notifications Not Working

    Been seeing a lot of Threads for this problem but with no proper solution.
    Ever since I updated my Facebook App to v9.0, I havent had any push notifications come to my phone. I've tried uninstalling/deleting the app & other connected apps (Paper, FB messenger) , logging out of the iOS integration, Resetting my phone, etc. but nothing's worked. The App doesn't even ask me if I want to Activate Notifications anymore when I Re-Install it.... 
    The Phone Notifications are set to show in the lock screen & all, and the Push Notifications in the app are set to push for "All Notifications", but On the Web client I noticed that I had "Some notifications" listed in the settings (and I can't change those on the web, because it tells you to change them in the app) . The only way I know i have Notifications now is through the App Badge,, via Email or through Paper's Notification setup (But i still dont get all of them) ...
    I wonder if it could be a server issue on Faceobook's End. There has to be some way to fix this problem....Help!!!

    Hi C_S1,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that you are having some issues with Facebook notifications on your iPhone. It sounds like you have already done some great troubleshooting. I suggest looking at the Troubleshooting notifications section of the following article just to verify your previous steps.
    iOS: Understanding notifications
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3576
    Troubleshooting notifications
    Push notifications require an active Wi-Fi or cellular connection.
    Note: Notifications use Wi-Fi only when a cellular connection is unavailable. Firewalls and proxy servers may affect your ability to receive notifications. For more information, see Unable to use Apple Push Notification service (APNs).
    If you're not receiving notifications for a specific app, try these steps:
    Verify that the app supports notifications.
    After installing an app or restoring a backup to a different iOS device, open the app to begin receiving notifications. If the app requires entering or logging in to an account, you will need to do this before receiving notifications.
    Check Settings > Notification Center to ensure that the app is configured for notifications. If notifications do not appear in the Notification Center, verify that the Notification Center setting for the app is enabled.
    I hope this helps,

  • Exchange 2003 push notifications not working on iPhone4 running iOS 5

    My Exchange 2003 push notifications are not working on my iPhone4 (iOS5).  For this account I need to fetch.  I know that at one point I was receiving push notifications from the Exchange 2003 account prior to upgrading to iOS 5 but unfortunately I did not actively monitor push notifications for this accout prior to upgrading to iOS 5.  Push notifications work fine for other email accounts on this phone including an Exchange 2007 account.  Are there any issues specific to iOS 5 and Exchange 2003 with regard to push notifications?

    This is an issue that a lot of people are having...   it's all on this thread.

  • Push notifications not working in iOS v8

    Hi All,
    I am facing a problem while configuring push notifications in my iOS app. When I run an app using Xcode, push notifications are getting triggered properly with a specific device token. But after taking the IPA, It tracks some-other Device token and push notification is not getting triggered.I am facing this issue only in iOS v8.

    I have Restored iPhone (from iTunes) then removed 'not working' applications (Yahoo messenger, Voxer, Bria,...) and reinstalled them from the App Store. Now they are working.

  • Push notifications not working on iOS 8.1

    Notifications are not working on my iPhone 6 Plus, I don't know that someone's messaged me until I the Skype app

    As far as I am concerned, Skype is compeltely broken for iphones. I have 4 iphones at home, two of them are the latest iphone6s. On all my iphones, push notifications are not working, and they have not been working for the last 6 months or so. First I thought it was something with my phone, but i bought two new iphone 6s and Skype push nitifications are still not working.  OK, if push nitification is not working, I will just use it like an email by trying to refresh it every once in a while to check if i have new messages. Alas, that's not working either! The message seem to come in spurts, most of the time, it's not updating even when i log in and out. This is the worst I have seen with Skype on iphone since iphoen came eout around 2007. Usually there might be a small issue that will last around a few weeks and a new update will generally fix it. This is different. With the 'new' iphone interface where you can't even save a phone number, and the completely broken messaging functions, I start to seriously question if this is some kind of scheme from Microsoft to gradually phase out Skype by making it less and less useful.
