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.

Since updating to IOS 7.0 i cannot sign into Facetime or Imessages - My IPad and Husbands IPhone are fine but when I try to sign in I get: check internet connection and try again...Does anyone have a clue what I am doing wrong?? I have the correct password.
I finally called Apple and they had me do a complete restore which of course took hours because I have so many apps and photographs on my iPad. This is the only way to get the keyboard lag to stop. The best way was to connect to iTunes store and backup your data there. You must do a complete restore in order to get a clean version of the hardware. It worked on both my iPhone 6 and my iPad Air 2. If you can't get it to work, call Apple. Trust me...it does work.
Here is the link.

It takes time but it did fix it as it reinstalls the hardware from scratch so no bugs are left. -
cannot activate imessage on io7
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. -

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?

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.

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 and Facetime in my iPad and Macbook Pro
Hi everyone,
Last month, my iPad Air 3G (ran iOS 7.2) and my Macbook Pro (ran Yosemite OS 10.10), I could use iMessage and Facetime in both of them normally. But after upgrading iPad to 8.3, I can not sign in with my Apple ID on 2 devices anymore. It always has error: 'Could not sign in with your Apple ID. Please check your internet connection" when signing up in iPad and Macbook Pro.
I tried many ways: reset network, reset device... with iPad but it didn't work. Please help me. Thanks a lot.

Since updating the new software on my iphone5 I cannot sign in to FaceTime. It advises me to check my internet connection which is working ok. Please can someone advise me.
Hey jeanettefromiw,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues signing into FaceTime on your iPhone 5. The following resources should assist you in troubleshooting these issues:
iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4268
If you see "Could not sign in, please check your network connection and try again" when signing in to your Apple ID
Update to the latest version of iOS.
Verify that you have a data connection by going to www.apple.com in Safari. You can complete Apple ID activation using Wi-Fi or a cellular data connection. If you need help connecting to Wi-Fi, follow these steps.
If you're using Wi-Fi, make sure that your local Wi-Fi network is using the recommended Wi-Fi settings.
Sign in to your account and ensure that the primary email address and alternate e-mail addresses have been verified. If verification is pending, follow the instructions in the email Apple sent to that email address to complete verification. Or remove the e-mail addresses from the account.
If your Apple ID isn't an email address, you can change it. The Apple ID that you're using to activate FaceTime or iMessage must be an email address. Find more information on how to change your Apple ID.
Tap Settings > General > Date & Time. Make sure that your iPhone is set to the correct time zone. If Set Automatically is on but the wrong time zone appears, turn Set Automatically off and choose the correct time zone, date, and time.
Enable iMessage and FaceTime while connected to a different Wi-Fi network (in a different location) if a cellular data connection is not available.
Thanks,

I am trying to assign delegation to a user and I receive the following message.
The delegates settings were not saved correctly. Cannot activate Send-on-behalf-of list. You do not have sufficient permission to perform this operation on this object.
We are using 2010 for the server and client. There are only specific mailboxes that this is happening for after being migrated from Lotus Notes. The user can use their mailfile fine however it is just the delegation that appears corrupted somehow.
I'm not sure how to fix this. I have checked the access through the security tab in ad and that looks fine.
Any help would be appreciated.I did some more digging and I solved it.
This would be the solution:
In Active Directory Users and Computers
-Click on VIEW
-Click on ADVANCE FEATURES (this is important otherwise you won't see
the complete list in the next steps)
-Click on the USERS container
-Find the problem user's account
-Right mouse the account and click on PROPERTIES
-Click on the SECURITY tab
-In the top box, click on the SELF account
-In the bottom portion of the screen make sure the READ PERSONAL
INFORMATION & WRITE PERSONAL INFORMATION should both be checked for
ALLOW
If you can compare the permissions for 'SELF' with another user you probably should set them accordingly to be safe. I noticed that for the user where setting delegates (SOB) did
not work, more than those 2 permissions were missing.
Good luck!
