Can't Sign in to iMessage for the first time

Hi,
I recently created an Apple account for my old iPod 4, and now I'm trying to sign in to iMessage for the first time. However I simply get an error stating: "iMessage Activation. Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again."
Is this a common issue? Is there any solution?
Thanks in advance!

  • I can't use my apple ID for the first time on iphone

    I am trying to download Whatsapp.
    When I enter my iphone apple ID, I can't tap "Next" beyond the "select your country" first step (it is the first time I use my apple ID on itune).
    I use a 3g IOS 4.2.1 and the software is as up to date as it can be.
    How can I make the button "Next" appear please?

    Hey sd_0008!
    I have an article here that can help you with setting up your Apple ID. It will provide instructions on how to do this through a computer or an iOS device, and it can be found here:

  • HT4479 Credit card security code not accepted when trying to sign into App Store for the first time

    I have just signed up for an Apple ID. I want to download Twiter for Mac from the App Store. When I try to log in, it tells me this is the first time I have tried using this ID and asks me to register my credit card details. I have entered all the information they ask for but it tells me my security code (CVV) is invalid. Is there any way to fix this, or to sign in without giving my credit card details?
    Thanks.

  • Caught in a loop when attempting to Sign In to iTunes for the first time.

    I created an Apple ID and downloaded the lastest version of iTunes for Windows.  When I attempt to Sign In, the system gives the following message: "This Apple ID has not yet been used with the iTunes store.  Please review your account in formation."  I select "Review" and am given a number of options to link a payment method.  I choose PayPal and go through the linking process. No problems there. When done, however, it returns me to the main screen in iTunes and gives me the opportunity to Sign In again.  I then get the same review message as before. 
    Am I doing something wrong, is it a system thing, is it a PayPal thing?

    Might be an idea to get a clean copy of the installer. See the direct download links in Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.

  • Can not get JSP to work for the first time.

    This is my first attempt to write JSPs. When TOMCAT attempts to render my first java server page TOMCAT reports the following two errors:
    org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSPerror: Invalid class file format in C:\j2sdk1.4.0_01\jre\lib\rt.jar(java/lang/Object.class). The major.minor version '48.0' is too recent for this tool to understand.
    C:\Program Files\Apache Tomcat 4.0\work\Standalone\localhost\JobEntry\HeadingExample$jsp.java:0: Class java.lang.Object not found in class javax.servlet.GenericServlet.
    package org.apache.jsp;
    I am on an XP box, running jwsdp-1_0_01, j2sdk1.4.0_01, and TOMCAT 4.04.

    You might want to try downloading a newer Tomcat Version 4.1.18 works well. Follow the URL below. I have tried this version with the SDK 1.4 in the past, without problems. It might be that your older version of Tomcat just doesn't like the 1.4 SDK. Would take 5 minutes max on a decent http connection to DL and install.

    I clicked on iMessage on my Macbook Pro today for the first time, and now NOTES keeps opening up every 5 seconds, with a new note.  I cannot stop it from opening. If I close it or force close, it opens again in 5 seconds.  I can't get rid of it.  I have tried to clear out the iMessage settings I had put in, and I've tried to adjust the Accounts to not include notes to synch.  But, Notes will not stop.  It opens a new note, and even if you ignore it, it assumes preference every 5 seconds, and the Mac is impossible to use.

    Do you have any Boot Camp or other secondary partitions set up on your system? If so then try running a disk verification routine (chkdsk, etc.) in Windows to repair the disk. While I've not heard of it happening recently, in the past errors in these partitions have resulted in stubborn ghost files appearing in OS X.

    Hi kamfong,
    Went to Settings where?
    If you want to use your exisiting Apple ID on your iPad, you need to:
    1.     Go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and sign out the new ID, and then sign on the old one
    2.     Go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and delete the iCloud account, and the sign back onto iCloud using the old ID
    You still have not indindated why you are saying that using your old ID originally "didn't work". What do you mean by that? Did you get some sort of error when you tried to sign on with your exisiting Apple ID?
    Cheers,

  • I've lost a load of notes, but dont know why or how to get them back. I cant find the folder that is in my Yahoo account that people have suggested might be the location for the messages.  I recently signed into iCloud for the first time.

    It should keep asking for the password, because it's trying to check for purchases... As soon as you login, it will see you have pending downloads and create the downloads section on the left below Purchases under the Store section. Then it will start the music downloads there, as they will be listed one below the other.
    You could just try to check your account balance or view your account and that will trigger a password request too. You can just click on that and say that now iTunes keeps asking for the password and ask him to help you with that. Trick would be to interrupt him so that he carries on with another task after, so he doesn't notice the download. Or you carry on with email or browsing which you were "busy" with when iTunes interrupted you for the password (stupid iTunes)

  • Trying to sign into Itunes 9.2.1 for the first time

    Hi All
    Trying to sign in to itunes store (9.2.1) with a new Apple ID for the first time but it says - Apple ID has not been used with Itunes, please review account information but when i hit continue it just says Session has timed out - searched for answers but nothing has worked so far.  Anyone experienced this?
    We know the new Apple ID is OK because we can sign into the account outside of itunes,  and we know itunes store is working OK because we can sign in with a different old Apple ID account.
    I'm on a 2.3 Dual G5 running 10.4.11
    Many thanks
    Russ

    They must have given in to pressure and done something about that because 9.2.1 is working fine with the store now. 
    I fixed the issue - I had deleted the iTunes cookies as i'd seen suggested in other related posts but I had a dumb moment and didn't restart after I'd done it -
    For anyone else looking here with the same problem -
    Delete cookies
    Close itunes
    Restart mac
    Sign in to iTunes store
    Fixed!
    seems weird though how it would work fine with one apple ID but not the new one until I did that. .???
    Cheers anyway - hope I've helped someone else out with this too

  • HT204053 If I have an apple ID for myself and my wife has just got a iPhone for the first time how can she get the same apps as I have for my iPhone and iPad

    If I have an apple ID for myself and my wife has just got a iPhone for the first time how can she get the same apps as I have for my iPhone and iPad by getting it off my iCloud?

    She can't from iCloud without setting up your iCloud account on her phone. But just sync the same apps from your iTunes Library on your computer to her phone.
    Your wife should setup her own iCloud account - which is separate to the iTunes Store accounts.
