I cannot activate iMessage on my iPod touch

I get a "cannot activate iMessage" note when trying to sign in. iMessage works perfectly with my iPhone on the same network. I have restored the iPod. I have turned on and off wifi. I have adjusted DNs to 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4. I have reset the iPod. But no luck activating. I have also checked date and time are auto updated. Software is up to date. Location services is on. I have literally gone through all trouble shooting available online. Have I missed any tricks?

However, I suspect an Apple server problem. Many users have been reporting problems with Messages and Facetime today.

  • I cannot activate Facetime on my ipod touch (4th gen).

    I sign on with my Apple Id and then it asks to verify the email address.  Before I can change this it jumps back to the sign in screen.  It's working fine on my daughter's ipod - what am I doing wrong???

    Is the Date & Time configured correctly? Have you tried connecting to a different Wi-Fi network to see if that makes a difference?
    Have you also tried a hard reset of the device? To reset the iPod, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

    Whenever I try to activate my 4th generation iPod Touch bought today, via my home router (Asus) which has a good signal, I get the warning: "Your iPod Touch could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached." Very frustrating. When I try to activate it via iTunes on my HP laptop, it won't do it either. Very frustrated and unimpressed.

  • Cannot charge my daughter's ipod touch nor does the computer even realize it is hooked up to the USB cable

    cannot charge my daughter's ipod touch nor does the computer acknowledge that it is plugged into the USB cable.

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

    or
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • How do you put imessage on my ipod touch?

    I was looking through the apps that came on the ipod touch and I saw imessage. It was not on my ipod touch when I got it. I got my ipod touch on December 25, 2010. It is the latest ipod touch, too. How can I get imessage on my ipod touch? Thank you!

    Once you have iTunes downloaded and you get an Apple ID you can choose to pay for stuff with a credit card or you can purchase an iTunes card and redeem it's value.

    Have you updated your iOS to 5.1? Just confirming as it says "iPhone 4S, iOS 5.0.1" in your thread.
    Double check if you have credit in your mobile in order to activate iMessage.
    Turn iMessage off and on again, than turn off your phone (long press display off and on button) and slide to turn off. Turn your phone back on, enter your "Apple I.D" in the iMessage window and wait till it verifies everything.

    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If restarting doesn't help, reboot the iPad.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that doesn't help, sign out in Settings>iTunes and App Store. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad, sign in again and try iMessage again.
