Having Trouble getting IMessage and FaceTime working

I have been having a problem getting onto IMessage and FaceTime since last night was wondering if anyone can help out! Called Apple today and they couldnt figure it out and have tried things on forums from searching on Google!!!
When I try signing in it will tell me that: Could not Sign IN! Please Check your network connection and try again!!! When I have it turned on for using it says Waiting for activation!!!

Same issue, iMessages suddenly stopped working, I wasn't getting ones sent to me, ones I thught I had sent later showed they never were sent. I went to preferences, switched iMesages off, then back on. It said waiting for activation, but never did activate. I then tried reentering my Apple password but kept getting activation error mesage. Looked at Facetime, it was off, tried to sign in to that, but got same activation error message.
Did a hard restart of phone, seems to be letting me sign in, send iMesages, but I am not getting ones people send me.

TS4268 Is there a real fix to get iMessage and FaceTime working with iOS7 on my iPad? Tried that 8.8.8.8 and time rest thing but they don't. Everything else works.... Says the network connection is the problem but only for these two programs.

Is there a "real fix" to get iMessage and FaceTime working? Tried the 8.8.8.8 and time,rest thing. Passwords and Apple ID are ok. At log in the message says it's a network connection.
Any ideas? Is here a fix coming from Apple?

Apps are on my iPad and worked fine with iOS 6. When iOS7 was loaded, I can no longer sign in to these two apps using my Apple ID. These apps are on my phone and work fine. This problem is on on my iPad.

HI,
The Apple IDs from @mac.com and @me.com (Older MobileMe and more recent iCloud Names) are also Valid AIM Screen names.
Any other sort of Apple ID is not a Valid AIM Name.
A Google ID that is associated with Google Mail Account (And has "Talk" enable on your Google Settings) can be used in iChat as Jabber Name/ID. (Google Run Jabber server).
Jabber and AIM are different IM Services and it is not easy or straight forward to add Buddies from one Service to the Buddy List of another. (As A Starting point consider it "impossible")
iChat 4 and 5 have links to the registration page of @Mac.com here with a "Get an iChat Account" button in the add (Account) screen (You select @mac.com or MobileMe and then press the Button - Choosing AIM and then pressing the button used to lead to the AIM registration page but AIM moved their page).
Apple IDs can be any valid email (or an @mac.com or iCloud registration)
Therefore you could make a Google ID into an Apple ID.
However this will not be a valid AIM Screen Name the way @mac.com or MobileMe/iCloud ones are.

Having trouble getting named destinations to work

I have been trying to add named destinations to a PDF so that I can navigate a viewer to a particular place in a document via a URL such as http://mysite.com/mypdf.pdf#nameddest=blah.
This is not working at all. The URL simply brings them to the beginning of the document. The named destinations feature of Acrobat is really not very complicated. My named destination is clearly there in the document. What could be preventing this from working?
Thanks

The embed code looks right. It must be something wrong with your JS/CSS on the page. Almost seems like you have something transparent on top of the form or something. I'm not a JS/CSS/HTML expert so I can't help anymore than that...

I just got a new itouch and i can't get imessage or facetime to work on my home network

I just got a new itouch 4 and i can't get imessage and facetime to work on my home wifi network (Airport Express). I can't explain it. The itouch works fine otherwise uncluding the internet. Facetime and imessage work at the apple store so there must be something wrong with my home network. Please help if you can!
iPod touch, iOS 5.0.1

I changed the DNS to 8.8.8.8 as you suggested with no success, I even tried 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 as suggested by others with no success either. When I try and activate iMessage or Facetime, I still get the same message "could not sign in, please check your network connection". The internet and Mail work perfectly fine on the iPod touch so the WiFi signal IS going through. I am at a loss, any other suggestions would be more than welcome. Thanks!

Why my iphone's iMessage and Facetime can't be activated?

hi, I just bought an iphone4 from the Mississauga apple store two days ago, the iMessage and Facetime can't be activated, so these things are what I tried: (my SIM card matches with my iphone, have a valid carrier, and I paid my bill and have a valid phone number)
1. I connected my iphone to the wifi, and make sure it works,
2. created an account on apple store, and make sure it has been logged on,
3. logged that e-mail account that I used to creat apple account on to my iphone ---> Mail,
4. go to Settings ---> iMessage, and turned it on, and did whatever it told me to do, then it just saying:"Waiting for activation..." for 2 or 3 hours, and told me that activation failed, and the same thing goes with the Facetime.
I tried with each of them 3 times, none of them are working, so I give up, and asked my friend use to working at the ginues bar in an apple store to help me, so:
He download iTunes onto my PC, connected my iphone to my PC, and logged my apple account onto iTunes, then did the PC and iphone thing which I don't really understand, and redo what I did above, and my iMessage and Facetime still can't work, and use he's iphone to call mine with facetime, use mine to call his with facetime, none of the calls worked.
At the end, we even dialed #*5005*7672# to check the SMS service centre number.
***BTW, I CANNOT even send text messages to my friends, I can only call them.
Is there anything else I can try to make the iMessage and facetime working? Or should I just go to the store and ask for an exchange or refund?
T_T, I just can't believe I can't even send out text messages with the iphone which even the unsmart phones can do.
Help me, plzzzzzz
Kate

Hey Bogdannae,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
You might need to user recovery mode since it is staying at the Apple logo.

IMessage and Facetime won't activate phone number

Hi guys.
Here's the story.
I had an Unlocked iPhone 4, bought in Brazil and using a brazilian carrier, till recently, and both iMessage and Facetime worked normally, using my apple ID or my phone number.
After I was robbed, I got an iPhone 4S, factory unlocked, bought in the United States, and started using it with my brazilian carrier sim.
I restored my iPhone 4 backup, to maintain all my notes, calendar, photos, etc.
But now I noticed that facetime and imessage are not working with my phone number. They just keep shoping the message "Waiting for activation" or something like that, with my phone status as "Verifying".
I tried removing and re-inserting the sim, rebooting the phone, activating and deactivating imessage and facetime, but they just won't verify my number...
Also, when I check my phone on iTunes, the "Phone Number" field states "N/A". With my former phone the number would show on the iTunes screen.
Can someone help me? I am running on iOS 5.0.1., no jailbreak and using my brazilian Apple ID.
Hope someone can help, I tried several online tutorials, such as the timezone one, or the DNS router, and none worked.
Regards,

I just activated a new iphone 4s and restored from a backup of my former iphone 3gs - had the same problem - Waiting for Activation on both facetime and imessage. I tried all the usual fixes, reset all, hard reset, turn facetime/imessage on and off, and on and on. 2 hours on phone with tech support to no avail.
I just found the fix on my own - no clue if it will work for everyone. But it's ridiculously easy and worth a shot so you don't waste hours and hours resetting/synching as I did.
All I did was go into settings>phone>my number - erase it by touching the ">". Then re-enter it making sure to input with the "+" and country code. For example in the US: +1(508) 569-9901
No hard reset necessary. I went into settings>facetime and imessage, immediately after inputting my phone number again and the dreaded "waiting for activation" message was gone. I tested sending a message - came thru to the other party fine and facetiming another device (my mom's ipad some distance away) and it rang thru with everything working properly i.e., video/audio.
