I turned my iMessages off and now it won't turn back on and asks for mobile data or wifi to be on but my mobile data works fine! How do I get iMessages to turn on again?

I Turned my iMessages off and now it won't turn on again without saying that wifi or mobile data must be turned on, however my mobile data works fine. How do I get iMessages to turn on again?

I had a similar issue with my phone.....it just shut off and wouldn't come back on even thought it was charged. My daughter toggled the mute switch several times and then she pressed and held down the home and lock buttons. It worked......would be worth a shot.

How do you make imessage work? The icon is there. You can type in the recipient but are not allowed to hit the send button

How do you make imessage work? We upgraded to verision5. The icon is there. You can type the message but the send button is not available.

There is some instability in iMessage. It is a versatile and confusing app even though there are so few options in its use.
I had issues trying to get iMessage work on both my iPads and my iPhone.
ON the iPhone, turning off WiFi service and then trying iMessage fixed the problem.
On the iPad 2, same thing. Turning off WiFi service fixed it.
On the iPad 1, I took a suggestion from zoomzoom and changed the WiFi network configuration on the iPad to use 8.8.8.8 as a DNS server and then use iMessage. That fixed it. Now I put the DNS back to default and it still works.
I suspect the iPod Touch will have the same fix as the iPad.
If you have a WiFi and 3G iPad or iPhone, try turing off WiFi and see if that fixes it.
Why? (beware, some of this is guesswork)
iMessage can talk SMS to cellphones and smartphones (that are using the cell-network). It can also talk Apple iMessage format to iPhones and iPads whether they are on cell-network or on WiFi. If you are talking to an SMS cellphone, iMessage figures that out and blindly sends your message. If you are talking to a iOS5 device, iMessage figures that out too, checks to see that they are on-line, and then does something different if they are or are not on-line. If you type in an email address, and not a phone number, I think iMessage attempts to see if the email address is registered with Apple (or iCloud or whatever) and if it is not, it does something to let you know, possibly by making the Send button not light up.
In order to register iMessage and an email, you have to let the iOS device see whatever service it is that iMessage uses. That is where the problem happenes. zoomzoom suggested manually setting the WiFi DNS to google's 8.8.8.8 IP address, then run IMessage, and that seemed to fix the problem. Setting the iOS device to use 3G-only (by turning off WiFi) also fixed the problem. I suspect going down to StarBucks or McDonalds and using their WiFi would also fix the problem. Once the problem is fixed, it doesn't seem to come back so I can't test these 'fixes'.
To change the DNS on your iPad find your WiFi networks configuration, click on the blue arrow, touch DNS, backspace over the number that is shown, type in 8.8.8.8 Then click on the WiFiNetworks button at the top of the screen. Now go run iMessage. After that, you can delete the DNS entry again and leave it blank. Your iPad will fill it in from the WiFi router when it needs it.

My imessage wont activate and work, and i dont receive messages from people useing imessage? how do i get imessage to work?

I recently moved back to Australia for school from Canada and signed up for the new iphone 6 plus. After using icloud to save and backup from my previous iphone 4s, all of the apps eventually worked....except for whatsapp. After looking through my phone and numerous chat forums, it appears that my imessage and facetime are stuck in, "waiting for activation".....is anyone else having problems with this?
I am curious as I am unable to receive the whatsapp code to re-activate my application. This brings me to my second question, is this an iphone/apple problem or a whatsapp third party problem?
I've had friends send imessages to me and they appear to coming through. I have already rebooted and restarted my phone numerous time. A strong connection to wifi and data stream have all come in loud and clear.
I have tried all of the directions that were posted and still have no whatsapp and imessage still inconsistent.
Thank you

how do I get imessage to work

Hi,
On first run the Messages app normally asks you for an Apple ID to "register" with iMessages.
Opening the app and going the the Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts should show you two accounts in place.
If the iMessages one has details it will show you some of these.
Neither the iMessages or Bonjour account can be deleted although the Apple ID can be removed from the iMessages one.
Once the Apple ID is verified the app should open the main Messages Window.
This provides a place to view Chats, a list of open chats and interface times to invoke Video and New Messages.
The bottom left will also show any Other accounts such as Google Talk, AIM and Yahoo logins (And in the Bonjour one is active), generally refered to as "Buddy List" accounts as they use the iChat Style Buddy list which can also be used as Interfaces to start conversations.
The square icon with what looks like a pencel will start a New Message
Typing a name in the "To" spot will access both Contacts and Buddies' info to start a chat with a specific person.
Once the list on the left says New Message then a blue + icon appear on the right that can access the Contacts app list or the Buddies.

How to FaceTime and iMessage on multiple apple devices with one iTunes account

We recently received iPad 2's for Christmas and was looking for some advice on how to FaceTime and iMessage on multiple apple devices with One iTunes Account (Apple Id). I have created or attached other e-mail addresses to our apple id but do not know how to use them on the new devices. Our home MacBook Pro uses our main apple id for FaceTime. The iPads have been setup with the main apple id w/o being able to use FaceTime and iMessage.
Please Help...
I appreciate the help and support.

P and V-
If you are trying to connect to someone with a different Apple ID, I think all the devices should work, but one at a time.
The problem is when you try to connect between two with the same Apple ID. Once the calling device tries to make the connection, it finds the second device to be "busy". That is where each needs to use a different E-Mail address when setting it up.
On iOS devices, when you press the Home button to exit an App, the App may still be active in the background, even when the device is sleeping. If FaceTime or iMessage is merely being active that way, it may be enough to "tie up" the E-Mail address.
From the Home screen, double click your Home button. You will see a list of recent Apps along the bottom of the screen. Press and hold on one of them until they start to wiggle. You will then see a red minus sign on each. Pressing the minus sign will remove an App from the list, and stop it from working in the background. (Click the Home button to stop the wiggling, and again to hide the recent Apps.)

How do I get iMessage on my Mac and iPad Mini to send from my phone number instead of email?

How do I get iMessage on my Mac and iPad Mini to send from my phone number instead of email? I've signed out and signed backed in on all devices but it still doesn't work. Phone number shows up on my iPhone only. Apple support article does not help, the screen don't even match mine.

Hi believer924,
Happy Holidays! What version of Mac OS are you working with? The article below will explain how to confirm your phone number is linked to your Apple ID for iMessage. On your Mac, you should be able to remove the checkmark in front of your email address in the "You can be reached by iMessage at" and "Start New Conversations from" sections of iMessage settings.
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201349
Your iPhone telephone number is linked to your Apple ID when you sign in to FaceTime or iMessage. This allows you to use your iPhone number with FaceTime and iMessage on other iOS devices.
This feature isn't available on iPod touch (3rd generation) and iPad (1st generation).
This feature is available with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 or later.
On OS X, find out which addresses are enabled:
In Messages, choose Messages > Preferences > Accounts. Select iMessage in the left column. Your contact preferences should appear under "You can be reached for messages at:."
OS X:
Phone number missing on OS X
If your phone number isn't listed on your Mac, follow these steps:
Update to the latest version of OS X on your Mac.
Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you're using on your iPhone.
Sign out of your Apple ID at these locations on your Mac:
Messages > Preferences > Accounts tab. Click iMessage in the left column, then click Sign Out.
FaceTime > Preferences. Select your Apple ID, then click Sign Out.
Close FaceTime and Messages on your Mac.
Open FaceTime and Messages, then sign in to your Apple ID in Preferences.
If your phone number still isn't listed on your Mac, follow these steps:
Sign out of your Apple ID on all iOS devices, including your iPhone, in the following locations:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Sign out of your Apple ID on your Mac at the following locations:
Messages > Preferences > Accounts tab. Click iMessage in the left column, then click Sign Out.
FaceTime > Preferences. Select your Apple ID, then click Sign Out.
Close FaceTime and Messages on your Mac.
Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and also in Settings > FaceTime.
Open FaceTime and iMessage, then sign in to your Apple ID in Preferences.

How will iMessenger work with 2 iphones (and an iPad)?

My household has 2 iPhones and an iPad 2. I'm the primary user of one phone and the iPad and my mom uses the other iPhone. All are registered to one AppleID (so that any purchased apps can be shared and updated easily).
This has worked great; however, I am wondering how iMessage will work. From what I understand, when you message someone who has an iOS device, it will show up on all your devices so that I can switch back and forth between iPhone and iPad for example. But if someone messages me, will it also show up on my mom's iPhone? How would this work if we have one Apple ID? I can see how she would get texts the same way she does now, but if it is from someone who has an iOS....which devices would receiver her texts? or mine? Does anyone know? Thanks!!

To all families who read this post:
1. If you only want to buy an app once, across multiple addresses, set up one Apple ID for all devices. (I call this the "App ID") Click on Settings -> Store, and put your "App ID" in there.
2. If you want to use iMessage separately on devices, set up *separate* Apple IDs for each person--one for Mom, one for sister, etc. (I call this the "iCloud ID")
3. You can also use this "iCloud ID" so that each family member has their own 5GB of backup space for contacts, calendars, etc. Use it at Settings -> iCloud -> Account.
Follow these instructions for setting up each family member's personal "iCloud ID" on each device:

How can i disable imessage from automatically starting up when i turn on macbook air?

how can i disable imessage from automatically starting up when i turn on macbook air? i dont know my imessages to pop up on my laptop when it turns on. But i dont want to disable imessage totally on my macbook.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
First of all, check that Messages is closed when you turn off your MacBook. This is so important because, by default, OS X will reopen all opened apps the next time you start your Mac.
Apart from that, when you go to  > Shut Down, or  > Restart, in the window you see to restart or turn off your MacBook, unmark "Reopen windows when logging back in". This will avoid that your Mac opens all opened apps the next time you start the MacBook, so Messages won't start automatically at startup

How do I work with FK in a data profile?

Hello People:
I am new in OWB tools and I have many doubts. Therefore, I would like to know if anyone can guide me a bit with the theme of FK and profiles.
How do I work with FK in a data profile?
If I have a table that has a FK to most of the tables, because it is like a parent table. What should I do to have that FK in the profile?
e.g.
- Table 1 FK Table 2
- Table 1 FK Table 3
- Table 1 FK Table 4
- Table 1 FK Table 5
- Table 1 FK Table 6
- Table 2 FK Table 7
- Table 2 FK Table 8
- Table 8 FK Table 9
You should have a data profile with each table or a data profile for all related tables?
If I am all in a single profile, that it would have no problem but I would only slow every time that I have to add a new table, but if I got separated, I can not use the FK? What is the solution that will give this problem?
e.g. PROFILE GENERAL
- Table 1
- Table 2
- Table 3
- Table 4
- Table 5
- Table 6
- Table 7
- Table 8
- Table 9
OR
PROFILE 1 -> - Table 1
PROFILE 2 -> - Table 2
PROFILE 3 -> - Table 3
PROFILE 4 -> - Table 4
PROFILE 5 -> - Table 5
PROFILE 6 -> - Table 6
PROFILE 7 -> - Table 7
PROFILE 8 -> - Table 8
PROFILE 9 -> - Table 9
OR
PROFILE R -> Table 1 / Table 2
PROFILE S -> Table 1 / Table 3
PROFILE T -> Table 1 / Table 4
PROFILE U -> Table 1 / Table 5
PROFILE V -> Table 1 / Table 6
PROFILE W -> Table 2 / Table 7
PROFILE X -> Table 2 / Table 8
PROFILE Z -> Table 8 / Table 9
Thank you very much for your help!
Best regard!

Any idea, please?

How does this work?

This is not a complaint, but a confused sigh of admiration. I've got an email account at the university where I teach. When I got my iBook, it took me a while, and a few conversations with IT at the school, to get this account working in the Mail application. (Since I have a Verizon DSL at home, I had to include that SMTP as the outgoing server.) Anyway, I synched this mail account (along with my AOL and .Mac accounts) onto the iPhone, and it works perfectly, both incoming and outgoing. I didn't have to change any of the settings. I thought I was computer savvy, but I can't wrap my mind around this. It seems like magic. How does it work?

The sync process with iTunes transfers the email account settings (for your chosen accounts via your iPhone sync preferences) from the Mail application on your Mac to the iPhone's email application.
The iPhone is running OS X and the iPhone's email client can be considered a mobile version of the Mail application.
