Anyone's iMessage still not working!!?

Hey I saw on the site that they got iMessage back up and working but I still can't use it. It's been saying waiting for activation for hours.
Someone help please

  • IMessages still not working since upgrading months ago

    I keep googling the error message:
    "The Messages database is being upgraded, please wait while it finishes or Quit Messages and relaunch it later."
    i've check my applegothic, I've zapped pram, I've tried turning on text message forwarding, i've checked containers of settings (and sadly erased my old time machine backups before i realized i had a problem) and have even tried re-installing my OS... nothing.
    Anyone else (like from apple???) have any bright ideas? I've been back to using Skype with the rest of the heathens and i hate it...
    S.O.S!!!!
    Thanks and best wishes for the holidays!

    Back up all data.
    Quit Messages if it’s running. Force quit if necessary. Relaunch it and test after each of the following steps. If the problem isn't resolved, quit again and go on to the next step.
    Step 1
    Make sure you know the ID and password you use with iMessage. Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
              Change Settings for Keychain "login"
    In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
    From the menu bar, select
              Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
    If the box marked
              Keep login keychain unlocked
    is not checked, check it.
    Select
              Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain.
    From the Category list in the lower left corner of the window, select My Certificates. Look carefully at the list of certificates in the right side of the window. If any of them is marked with a red "X" as expired or invalid, delete it. Also delete all items with "iMessage" or "com.apple.idms" in the name, whether valid or not.
    From the menu bar, select
              Keychain Access ▹ Preferences... ▹ Certificates
    There are three menus in the window. Change the selection in the top two to Best attempt, and in the bottom one to  CRL.
    Log out and log back in.
    Step 2
    Hold down the option key and select
              Go ▹ Library
    from the Finder menu bar. Move the following items from the Library folder to the Trash (some may not exist):
              Containers/com.apple.corerecents.recentsd
              Caches/com.apple.Messages
              Caches/com.apple.imfoundation.IMRemoteURLConnectionAgent
              Containers/com.apple.iChat
              Containers/com.apple.soagent
              IdentityServices
    Leave the Library folder open. Log out and log back in.
    Step 3
    Go back to the Finder and move the following item from the open Library folder to the Desktop:
              Messages
    Note: you are not moving the Messages application. You’re moving a folder named “Messages.”
    If Messages now works, delete the Messages folder on the Desktop. Otherwise, quit Messages again. Put back the folder you moved, overwriting the newer one that may have been created in its place.
    Step 4
    In the Preferences subfolder, there may be several files having names that begin with any of the following strings:
              com.apple.iChat
              com.apple.ids
              com.apple.imdsmsrecordstore
              com.apple.imessage
              com.apple.imservice
    Move them all to the Desktop. There may also be a file with the name "com.apple.imagent.plist". Move that to the Trash.
    Also in the Preferences folder, there's a subfolder named "ByHost". Open it and do the same thing.
    Log out and log back in. Test again. This time Messages should perform normally, but your settings will be lost. You may be able to put back some of the files you moved to the Desktop in this step. Relaunch and test after each one. Eventually you should find one or more that causes Messages to malfunction. Delete those files and recreate whatever settings they contained.
    If the issue is still not resolved, quit Messages again and put all the items you moved to the Desktop back where they were. You don’t need to replace the items you moved to the Trash. Stop here and post your results.
    If you later decide that you don’t like the results of Steps 3 and 4, you can undo them completely by quitting Messages and restoring the items you deleted in those steps from your backup.

  • IMessage STILL not working?!

    I still don't have iMessage on my iPhone 4.  I have tried resetting/restarting my phone, turning iMessage off then back on, etc.  It will work with my email address, but not my phone number. My MacBook Pro, however, is sending iMessages with my phone number just fine.  When I go to my messages settings, it says "No Addresses" in the Send & Receive field, and when I go into that setting, my number is greyed out so I can't select it.
    Please help!!

    Sign out and in from iMessage on your phone ... it will fix the issue.

    Hello, it's been 5 days now since my imessage has not working..and i have chatted to the costumer for two times. I took thier advice and instructions just to enable to send and receive on it but unfortunately until now its still NOT working. Is there anybody who could help me please?

    Try this even if you have already.  Just make sure to follow the steps specifically.
    Go to settings > Facetime > send and recieve > tap on your apple id and sign out.  If your not signed in then that will work as well.
    Go to settings > Messages > sent and recieve > tap on your apple id and sign out.
    Restart the iPad by doing the slide to power off setup.  Just hold the power button on the top right till it turns off.
    After the iPad has been restarted:
    Go to settings > Facetime > and sign in
    Go to settings > Messages > and sign in
    Wait about 3 min then restart the iPad again.  Same instructions as above.
    When you restart you should be able to use messages again.  If not then call support again and talk to someone higher than the first level support they have.

    I cannot get my iPhone 4S to connect to iMessage n FaceTime have tried all the tips online and it's still not working ? It's just saying  waiting for activation

    What tips have you tried so far?   Just so we don't waste our time telling you things you've already done.
    When you respond, also indicate which country and carrier you're using.   Also, is your phone brand new?  can you make a phone call / access the internet while on cellular?

    Thanks so much but none of that helped.  It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive.  I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
    Thank you for your help and replying to this.  Guess I made my own issue!

  • Signed up twice for adobe pdf export to word and still not working - anyone else have this problem?

    signed up twice for adobe pdf export to word and still not working - anyone else have this problem?

    In XI.
    I can’t just export to word as I have done in the past in one simple click.  
    Convert to button is greyed out.
    Now I have to save the pdf file on c drive when I am in outlook…then goto export pdf file…then find file then export to word.
    I bought new computer with windows 8 (which is awful) and then bought pdf export again…
    Any thoughts on how I can get back to one simple click again when I open a pdf file from an email in outlook?
    Thank you,

  • Hi, my wifi button just greyed out a few minutes ago and I can't connect to wifi. Have followed instructions given by Apple support but it's still not working. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks

    Hi, my wifi button just greyed out a few minutes ago and I can't connect to wifi. Have followed instructions given by Apple support but it's still not working. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks & Happy New Year :-)

    First, you don't have a 5+ year old 3GS. The 3GS has only been around for under 4 years. In fact, 5 years ago there were NO iPhones; the original iPhone (2 generations before the 3GS) came out on June 29, 2007 - not quite 5 years ago. The 3GS was released June 19, 2009.
    That aside, you can sync multiple phones to one computer - see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495. boogeyman is wrong. It is 100% safe to create an additional user name on her computer, log in with that name, and back up the phone. See this for details on what you want to do: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109

    I've just edited all my apple id information and my iMessage will not work at all, can anyone help?

    Try tapping Settings > FaceTime, turning FaceTime Off, editing the Apple ID associated with FaceTime, and then turning it back on.
    If that doesn't do it, take a look at this Apple doc -> iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation
