    Hi hectorness12!

  • My iMessage won't activate

    My iMessage won't activate and says my 'username or password is incorrect' whenever i try entering my Apple ID however it is all correct. I also changed my password so it's definitely right, can anyone help?

    If it is telling you the credentials are not correct, they are not correct.
    Re-enter them correctly.

  • IMessage won't activate on macbook pro after os x reinstall

    I did a fresh install of OS X on my macbook pro. iMessage won't activate. iMessage works fine on my ipad, iphone, and mac mini, but I can't sing in with my apple id on the macbook pro now. It worked fine before the OS X reinstallation. WHY?

    First, check the status of iMessage on this page:
    Apple - Support - System Status
    If iMessage is down, wait tor it to come back up.
    Otherwise, back up all data.
    Take the steps suggested in this support article:
    FaceTime, Game Center, Messages: "There was an error processing registration" when signing in
    Sign out of iMessage:
    Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out
    Then sign back in with your verified credentials. Note that the password of some Apple ID's will expire periodically.
    If you get the same error, try resetting the NVRAM.

  • Imessage won't activate

    My Imessage, and facetime, keeps saying that it is waiting for activation. I have reset the phone, turned it on and off, and it does not appear that anything is working to reactivate it. I'm currently out of the country with my phone number inactive (however it has been working just fine over wifi with no problems for the last three months). It also does not activate when using apple id either. Please help!

    HI Friend,
    Check your Apple ID credentials. For iMessage and FaceTime, choose for your email account instead of your mobile number.

  • TS4268 imessage won't activate???

    I turned my imessag off a month ago while playing around - and have never got it to activate since.
    I turn it on - sometimes it will pop up with "Use your Apple ID for iMesage" and sometimes it'll go straight to "Waiting for activation". 
    I have noticed that even when its saying "Waiting for activation" I can go to "Send and receive" and it'll have my ID at the top (logged in) but where it says "You can be reached by imessage at" it will have a tick by my email address, but my phone number is grey (cant select it).
    Below that it doesn't have "Display as from" (cant rememer what it says exactly) but where you select what number or email address your imessage is being sent from.
    Driving me nuts, have tried everything on the tips/tricks page. HELP!!!!!!!!!

    Read through the support document that you linked to the forum from. It says that if you follow all of the steps and it still will not activate after 24 hours, to contact Apple support.

  • Imessage won't activate on new phone

    trying to activate i message on a new iphone....messages won't send or receive

        Here I am to save the day mf1831! Let's get your iMessage working. May I ask are you logged into your iPhone 5s with your Apple ID? If not then simply go to Settings > iTunes & App Store. Also, go to iCloud in Settings to ensure that you are logged in there as well. Once you are logged in go to Messages and verify that iMessage is turned on. Also, please verify the Send & Receive info under Messages to ensure that both your mobile number and Apple ID is checked under "You Can Be Reached By iMessage At". Please let us know the results after you have peformed these steps.
    Thank you…
