  • Error occuring during activation on iMessage for my ipad

    I am trying to recover my old text messages and when I am trying to log in on my iPad there's error occurring during activation.  Please help.

    I have raised this issue with apple support this week too after my Facetime and iMessage stopped working on Saturday.
    Been very interesting to read the ever increasing number of comments and issues being raised on this one (more than 500 views and dozens of replies so far).
    My post is here:
    imessage and Facetime sign in activation error iPad ios8.1.2
    What is especially interesting about your post is that you had your iPad Air replaced in November 2014 in the UK. I bought my iPad Air originally in October 2014, and had to have it replaced in an Apple Store in Bristol in November after the original stopped charging. This does make me wonder if there is a batch of faulty iPads? Mmm...
    I have raised a fully escalated support case with Apple on this, and their latest response is that a 'patch' or fix is being investigated by their engineers and to wait a week or so at which point they might be releasing it to affected users - or even across every users.
    I wish there was a way to get this to Apple's attention and the wider media as well, but I don't know how best to do that.
    I guess the best thing we can do is keep hassling Apple for a response and raising support cases

  • IPad+iMessage 'error occured during activation'

    hi there.
    i'm trying to connect my ipad to my imessage account which i have on my iphone.
    I've researched the problem and i have updated onto the latest iOS 7 update, reset network setting back to factory, put time to auto (everything short of wiping my ipad completely which im reluctant to do)
    can anyone help me as my iphone tends to run out of battery mid conversation and obviously that's inconvenient
    thank you!!! 

    I assume that you saw this troubleshooting article, but did you see that you should toggle the settings on and off for Messages after each attempt?
    If you see "Waiting for Activation", "Activation unsuccessful", or "An error occurred during activation"
    These messages occur when your iPhone is trying to activate your phone number with iMessage or FaceTime.
    To resolve these status messages, follow these steps. After each step, turn FaceTime and iMessage off and on again in Settings > Messages and Settings > FaceTime.
    Update to the latest version of iOS.
    Make sure that you have a cellular network connection with your cellular provider. You need a cellular network connection to activate iMessage and FaceTime with your iPhone phone number.
    Go to www.apple.com in Safari to make sure that you have a data connection. You need a data connection to activate iMessage and FaceTime with your iPhone phone number.
    Make sure that you can send and receive SMS. You need a valid SMS messaging plan to activate FaceTime and iMessage.
    Make sure that FaceTime hasn't been restricted: tap Settings > General > Restrictions > FaceTime.
    Set iPhone to the correct time zone: tap Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: If Set Automatically is on but the incorrect time zone appears, turn Set Automatically off and choose the correct time zone, date, and time.
    Contact your carrier to verify that there are no restrictions, blocks, or filters on text messages. Restrictions, blocks, or filters on text messaging will prevent iMessage and FaceTime registration from completing.
    If "Waiting for Activation" still appears after you perform these steps, turn FaceTime and iMessage off and on in Settings > Messages and Settings > FaceTime. You may need to wait up to 24 hours to complete activation. Most attempts will take less than an hour, but some attempts may take up to 24 hours. If your issue isn't resolved after 24 hours, please contact Apple for assistance. If you've recently performed a remote wipe on your iPhone, wait 24 hours from the time you performed the remote wipe, and then turn iMessage off then back on.You can still activate iMessage and FaceTime with your Apple ID when these status messages appear. You can see that you've activated FaceTime and iMessage with your Apple ID by tapping:
    Settings > FaceTime > You can be reached by FaceTime at:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You can be reached by iMessage at:

  • TS3367 When I try to activate y FaceTime, I get "An error occurred during activation.  Try again."  I have a good password, I'm on wifi, I've tried toggling off and back on again... why can't I get FaceTime to work?

    When I try to activate my FaceTime, I get an error msg that says, "An error occurred during activation.  Try again."  I have a good password (I used it to get here...); I'm on WiFi; I've toggled FT off and back on again but I cannot get past the error message and get activated.  What's wrong?  Thanks.  Talking about my iPhone (4). 

    Its possible that the server can be down now. Have you ever used it before?  If you want, try resseting the phone by just holding the sleep/wake key and the home button together for 10 seconds.  Then wait 5 seconds when it turns off and press the sleep/wake button to turn it back on.  Then try it again.  Let me know what the results are.

  • I cannot sign into FaceTime, it keep on saying an error occurred during activation, please sign in again

    I cannot sign in FaceTime , it keeps on saying an error occurred during activation, please sign in again

    Hey!
    I too was facing the same problem but have found a solution for it. The problem is most likely because of the 'Date & Time' setting. Change to setting to 'Set Automatically' and then try reconnecting to facetime/imessage.
    Hope this helps you as it did to me.
