Using 2 displays, connected via HDMI and thunderbolt
Been on to support a number of times now - is anyone experiencing the same issues?

BUMP.
I actually showed this to Apple geniuses when I took my computer to the apple store, and it's still here. In console it says:
kernel[0]: Previous Shutdown Cause: -128
I don't know if that's related or not, but maybe helps?

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.

Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If restarting doesn't help, reboot the iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that doesn't help, sign out in Settings>iTunes and App Store. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad, sign in again and try iMessage again.

Cannot activate imessage on ipad 2

THANKS TO ANSWERS FROM PREVIOUS QUESTION I WAS ABLE TO UPDATE MY IPAD FROM IOS 6 TO 8 BY CONNECTING TO LAPTOP AND UPDATING SINCE STORAGE WAS LIMITED ON IPAD. UNFORTUNATELY, I CANNOT ACTIVATE IMESSAGE. I HAVE BEEN USING THIS FOR YEARS. CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHY? I KNOW I AM USING PROPER APPLE ID AND PASSWORD BECAUSE I RESET ON PURPOSE DUE TO CONTINUALLY GETTING THIS ERROR. HELP!

Hi Smhawk1,
As someone who uses iMessage daily I know I would be upset if it was not functioning for me. If you are having an issue with activating iMessage on your iPad, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

I cannot activate iMessage on my iphone4. When I enter my apple ID it keeps saying An error occurred during activation try again. Can anybody helpn

I cannot activate Imessage on my iphone 4. When I enter my Apple ID it keeps coming up with 'An error occurred during avtivation. Try again' Can anybody help ?

It seems a lot of people are having this problem...you can try restarting your device, making sure Date & Time settings are on automatic, or changing your DNS to 8.8.8.8. However, most people posting about this problem have tried everything including data resets, restores, etc. and it doesn't seem to work. It seems to be an issue on Apple's end with the servers...hopefully they can resolve it quickly

I cannot activate iMessage on my iPod touch

I get a "cannot activate iMessage" note when trying to sign in. iMessage works perfectly with my iPhone on the same network. I have restored the iPod. I have turned on and off wifi. I have adjusted DNs to 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4. I have reset the iPod. But no luck activating. I have also checked date and time are auto updated. Software is up to date. Location services is on. I have literally gone through all trouble shooting available online. Have I missed any tricks?

You can try here:
Can't Activate FaceTime
However, I suspect an Apple server problem. Many users have been reporting problems with Messages and Facetime today.

IPhone 5S cannot activate iMessage

My iPhone 5S won't let me activate iMessage using my mobile number. iMessage works but only with my email. After turning on iMessage it says below "Activation Unsuccessful". This is also the same with FaceTime.
Any suggestions?

Hi
Like melrick, my 5S phone number is not registering at all on my Mac Mini for I-messaging. The article you referenced states:
iPhone automatically registers your phone number for use with FaceTime and iMessage during activation.
Well, my phone number isn't even showing up as an option...Facetime is fine....is this an activation issue? I switched from a 4S and just rolled my number over...my phone is fine. I don't get it? Help!

Imessage for mac mini

Is this available? Why does my macbook pro and mac mini desktop look different?

Well, if you have 10.8.2, you do have Messages = iMessages. Under preferences you can activate an account and one or more email addresses under which you can be reached.
1.5 years is not too old for 10.8.2, and the fact that you were able to install it is proof. According to the following links a Mini compatible with Mountain Lion must be the 3,1 model or newer, or from early 2009 or later.
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
http://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3761
To find out what your Mac is, click on the apple in the upper left corner, then "About This Mac". "More Info" gives you exactly that, and in "System Report..." you'll see all details.

Cannot reinstall osx on Mac Mini!?!?

I bought a refurb Mac Mini from apple in january. I'm trying to put a clean install on it because I would like to sell it. Whenever I try the install give me the error "This software cannot be installed on the computer." I am using the OSX install CD's that came with my Mac Mini

I also bought a Mac Mini in January 2006 and have the same problem. I can't install from my OS X from my original Mac Mini install CD. Mine is labeled "Mac Mini". So I don't understand. Is it because it is a REFURBISHED Mac Mini? But I bought it from the Apple Store. What I did notice is that Apple changes the S/N. When I later tried to upgrade my iLife to '06 my Mini wasn't listed in Apple's valid serial numbers. Spent close to an hour with them on the phone and finally they gave up and sent me the new version for free. So, getting back on track, anyone know how I can get my Mac up and running again? I also erased the disk tosee if that was the problem. Good thing I have a backup on my firewire disk. But I don't have a Mac to work on and I need to work! Appreciate any help.

Disk Erase Failed. Disk cannot be dismounted on Mac Mini Server

Ok, this is a bit crazy for me anyway. I have a Mac Mini Server running Snow. My Server HD failed but fortunately my Mac HD was being used as an image backup and I can boot from it fine and runs perfect. The bad disk was not showing in Disk Utility at all. So I bought a new one and replaced it.
Now Disk Utility sees it but if I try to format it or partition it, I get the message the it cannot be dismounted. I tried re-setting NVRam (Optio+CMD+P+R) but n luck.
I have my original Snow DVD but I have no external DVD. I have a MacBook Pro Mountain Lion.
How do I erase my new disk so I can copy everything back?
Any help is appreciate it.

Although thats an excellent suggestion but in the end I attached an old usb backup drive and restarted and held down the Option key to select it to boot. Then it went into Disk Utility, and I reimaged the 2nd drive to the new drive. After the reimage I restarted and held down the Option key to allow me to select the first drive.
The only issue I had was to rename my boot drive back to Server HD, which I did by using Finder and one more restart.
I guess the rule is you cannot unmount the boot original boot drive unless you boot from an external drive.
All is good now and thank you.

Cannot rebuild Raid on mac-mini 10.6.8

Hi,
I have a mac mini with 2 hard drives of 500Gb.
There were 2 RAID: 1 raid system and 1 raid data
The raid system isn't working. I try to remove the hard drive and add it again and I received the error message:
Cannot rebuild the RAID matrix. The RAID cannot be modified (Below is the screenshot...in French)
And after this, the disk is labeled as "missing"
Has anyone already had this problem ?
Many many thanks in advance for your help
Kind regard,
Chris

If reinstalling doesn't help, you'll probably need to contact Macroplant support:
