Cannot sign in to iMessage after ios7 update

Hey guys,
I did the iOS 7 update on my iPhone 4S and now it will not let me sign in to my apple ID to access my iMessages. I'm still receiving them on my iPad. I have tried turning the phone off, resetting my network settings. I put my password in to sign in with my apple ID, but it keeps saying “could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again"
Also, the people I try to IMessage do get my messages, but I do not receive messages back.

To get iMessage and Facetime working you have to goto "settings > General> reset > erase all content and settings"
After iphone reboots go thru setup like a new phone but chose restore from iCloud backup. Choose "see all backups" and chose one before you installed ios7.
Usually iPhone backs itself up when locked and plugged into charger so there should be a few to choose from.
The phone doesn't have to be pluuged into iTunes for this but probably should be connected to charger.
Don't wait on Apple. They seem to think there is no problem.

  • Cannot connect to iTunes Store after iOS7 update??

    So after the iOS7 update i am unable to connect to the iTunes Store on my  iphone 5. I have tried signing out and back into the store with password, I did a restatrt on the phone power botton and home button at same time until it shuts off and still does not work. I know people are having this problem but most seem to be able to log in once signng out and back in. Any other suggestions would be helpful.

    Ok this is how I fixed this. Apparently iTunes uses Safari.
    Go to Settings -> Safari -> and Clear Cookies and Data and also Clear History - scroll down to see those settings.
    Set Block Cookies to either "from third parties and advertisers" or "Never" (you choose which one)
    In Advanced (scroll down its the last setting) make sure JavaScript in ON
    Here is the last step I had to make to fix it - which may not apply to you. Some time ago I changed my primary email for apple. I noticed it was asking me to enter the password for the secondary email.
    I went into iTunes and App Store, tapped my Apple Id and then Sign Out. I then resigned in using my primary Apple email and password.
    Just to make sure, I turned the phone off and on, but honestly this may be optional.
    I am now working again.
    I hope this helps you.

  • IPhone5 suddenly stops sending iMessages after ios7 update

    Ever since I updated to iOS7 my iphone5 iMessages suddenly stop working, I have to restart my phone for it to work again. This happens about 5 times a day! Anyone know how I can fix this it is getting ridiculous!

    Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches after installing new software.
    If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step.

    Try this first - Reset 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 - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • Cannot activate iMessage after iOS update.

    Cannot activate iMessage after iOS update. "Activation unsuccessful" I cannot activate it.

    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.

  • HT1766 I cannot complete my iphone configuration after sofware update, when i connect to itunes i keep gettin  a try again later message

    I cannot complete my iphone configuration after sofware update, when i connect to itunes i keep gettin  a try again later message

    That's usually a sign that your phone was hacked/jailbroken, and iTunes has detected such, errored out, preventing your phone from activating. Since Apple does not support hacking/jailbreaking, that's what happens, by design.
    We can't help you here, as Apple owns this forum. You'll have to go elsewhere.

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • HT201263 After Ios7 update it asked me to restore iphone . But restore is not working

    After IOS7 update, Extract software did not recognize device properly . Now iTunes asked me to restore iphone . I tried restoring.
    Its giving me an error saying Phone not recognized [Error code : 2000] http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/updaterestore/?error=20000
    Kindly help pls ..

    Hey kartbeat2001,
    Thanks for the question. The following article provides relevant information in regards to Error 2000:
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
    Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
    If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you're using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that doesn't resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.
