Salam Alaikom Sameh
I have the same problem, it was working last week, but this week, after I made a restore, the iMessage is not activating.
I am using STC carrier, and I searched in the internet and found that all people suffering from the same problem have STC sim card.
If you try any other carrier, it will work fine !!
I contacted STC (Saudi Telecom Company) and they said we don't have any problem!
That's weird.

Numerous problems with iOS 4.3 on iPhone 3GS
Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone else had similar problems after upgrading to iOS 4.3 on 3GS. I've noticed a few problems which are rather annoying and there's no way to go back to iOS 4.2 which I find really bizzare.
Here's what's happening on my phone (mind that upgrade went smoothly, no problems there).
1. when unlocking screen I often have have to swipe the finger several times for it to unlock (trust me it's not my chubby fingers, I didn't have that problem before),
2. phone is now constantly loosing internet connection even when there's perfect reception,
3. doesn't want to charge using car charger anymore! Says accessory not supported,
4. overall performance loss, slow switching between the screens and applications.
Did anyone have similar problems? Please advise.
Thank you,
Piachu.I had the same problem. Along with apps not working or working very slowly and ipod not working at all, itunes not recognising the iphone.
After struggling for weeks I bit the bullet and restored but I did restore from back-up. Problems solved. Battery life is back to normal. Aps working, I love my iphone again.
I put off doing this because I thought it would be a huge pain getting the thing back to where I wanted it, but in fact it took a couple of hours - a lot less that the time I'd spent trying other solutions. -

Can't activate imessage on my daughters ipod touch 5th gen. Comes back with "An error occured during activation". It was working until I updated to latest IOS version 7.1.2. Managed to update Facetime ok but can't do anything with iMessage. Can anyone help?

Hello. I have an iphone 5s and i can not activate imessage nor facetime. I followed all the steps provided by the apple page and still i can not make it connect. The phone is connected to wifi at all times and has ios 8.
Can you send SMS by using the mobile data network instead of Wi-Fi? I had the same problem setting up my 5s from a backup of my 4s. Only after I sent an SMS via mobile data network, somehow iMessage and FaceTime got activated a couple of minutes later without me doing anything else.
I even changed my Apple ID password, because at one point I could not log into my account when iMessage asked for my account details.

I can't activate imessage on my Mac mini.
I can't activate imessage on my Mac mini. http://d.pr/i/U7xu OSX 10.8.2
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. -
