I'm trying to activate iMessage and ill sign in with my apple ID then when I put my email in and click next it goes back to the sign in

I jus got the fourth generation iPod touch and I'm trying to activate my iMessage when I put my apple ID in, it goes to the next step and says people will contact you by your email. Which would you like to use ? Then I'll enter my email and click next but it takes me right back to the first page where I have to sign in with my apple ID to activate it. This also happens with my FaceTime. Please help me figure out how to get it to work!! I've updated restarted everything!!

You need the Apple ID and password from the previous owner who set the Activation Lock. Where did you get this phone?

iPhone warranty is not international, but is valid only in
the country of original purchase. Since you bought the iPhone
in the UK, your warranty is valid anywhere in the EU but not
in Egypt. You can gry taking it to an Apple authorized reseller,
but don't be surprised if they tell you they cannot do anything.

Network connection error comes up when trying to activate iMessage and FaceTime even when connected to wifi

I have recently got a new SIM card and is working but as soon I try to activate FaceTime and iMessage it says network connection error although my network is fine etc, as on a Apple help page it says contact Apple if this occurs but there is no way to contact Apple. Please help!

For anyone who has this problem check your time and date is set to automatically as this has fixed my problem!

TS4268 i cannot activate iMessage on my New iPad with my apple id. It was working until yesterday. Please help

New iPad with iOS 6.
iMessage is not working.
Please help.

It seems a lot of people are having this problem...you can try restarting your device, making sure Date & Time settings are on automatic, or changing your DNS to 8.8.8.8. However, most people posting about this problem have tried everything including data resets, restores, etc. and it doesn't seem to work. It seems to be an issue on Apple's end with the servers...hopefully they can resolve it quickly

Possibly there's a firewall in the router. For reasons that I do not understand, that will affect IOS (iPod/iPad) communication but will not affect computers or other devices.
You will need administrative access to the router. If a firewall is present, turn it off and test the iPod again. If it works, turn the firewall back on but weaken it a notch and test the iPod again. Repeat as required.

TS4268 I still have "Waiting for Activation" while trying to activate iMessage on the iphone, noting that it was working normally and stopped working suddenly, as well I had done all the mentioned steps.. what should I do else?

Unable to activate iMessage and FaceTime on my current number

Hi all.
I have an iPhone 5, I've changed from my Spanish SIM to my English SIM. Now keep getting the activation errors when I try to activate iMessage and FaceTime. It activates to my apple id emails, but my phone number appears dimmed and not ticked. I have tried all the methods I've found online: activating and disactivating, switching my iPhone on and off too, reseting, restoring, changing my apple id password, updating my old number under my apple id to my new one. Nothing has worked. Then I tried to send an iMessage to myself, and I discovered that my number that iMessage can be sent to is my old Spanish number, although the number that appeared under iMessage send and receive is my English one. So I have just tried my Spanish SIM. And iMessage and FaceTime have been activated instantly with my Spanish number. I dis activated again both and put back my English SIM. Now, if I try to activate iMessage and FaceTime, I still get the activation errors, but the number that appears dimmed and not ticked is my Spanish one.
Quite annoying, and I can't seem to be able to find where the mistake is.
Thank you for your help.
Txiki

Have you tried taking out the sim card and iMessaging using the phone on Wi-Fi only? If it still is an issue then the sim card has nothing to do with it and you would most likely have to do a wipe by Erasing all content and Settings.
Since you had the phone unlocked and it was activated already with one number... In order to remove that number, so that it doesn't keep being an issue, is to do a full reset. This will allow you to go through the activation process again with the new number being selected for iMessaging if you set up the phone using cellular connection.
I know this is most likely not the easy solution you were seeking but to be honest... Sometimes starting fresh is a good thing . Good luck sir!
