    I can't activate iMessage on my iPad3; message says: Unable to contact the iMessage server. Try again."
    Settings > iMessage > Enter Apple ID
    I enter the info
    Click "Sign In"
    Prompted for my Apple ID Password again (in a pop up)
    Message appears "iMessage Activation" + "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again."
    OK the message
    I verify Safari can get toethe web & load pages OK
    Back to iMessage in Settings
    Repeat steps 1-4
    Now at iMessage screen where I set how people will message me.  I have my iPhone's number, my email address I use for Apple ID, and my @me email address
    I leave them all checked and I hit "Next"
    "Verifying" with the spinning wheel at the top of the screen...
    Pop up message says: "iMessage Activation" + "Unable to contect the iMessage server. Try again." (this is about the 6th time I've tried this)
    What have I done to try to make it work?:
    Retied as directed by iPad
    Powered iPad off & tried again
    Turned airplane mode on, off, and tried again
    Verified that the iPad DOES have network access by browsing the web with Safari (not using 3G/4G, wifi only)
    Please suggest something...someone.... anyone?

  • 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.

    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.

  • Can't activate imessage on iPad

    When i go to 'Messages' under 'Settings', it asks me to 'Enter Apple ID'. After inputting the apple ID and password, it says 'People will message you using your email address. What would you like to use?' My email address is already there with a 'check' next to it. I click 'Next' on the upper right hand corner and it takes me back to the first place, 'Enter Apple ID'. I try it over and over again and it still takes me back to that page. How can I activate my iMessage?
