Imessage doesn't connect

My Imessage doesn't connect at all

Hi,
For others the message says:-
Your Apple ID "[email protected]" can not be used to configure iMessage today.
According to Google Translate.
These are the most common variations of such error messages in English along with some "fixes".
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3970
Also if you jumped from Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.1 or Earlier to Mountain Lion then you may have the Serial Number issue.
At OX 10.8.2 and since the Messages App has used the Serial Number of the Mac to create an Auth Token that is in the Keychain for the iMessages account.
if the Serial Number is not present on the Mother/Logic board then cannot be done.

1. Did you use Bootcamp Assistant?
2. Did you build a USB with Windows 7 ISO and Bootcamp drivers?
3. You should use a USB2.0 disk, not a USB3.0 disk (flash drive).
4. What year is the Retina MBP?

After upgrading to iOS 7.0 my iMessage doesn't work and it says it is "waiting for authorization". When I try to activate it, it won't connect.

I upgraded to iOS 7.0 and now my iMessage doesn't work. My phone reads "waiting for activation" When I try signing in I get a message "Could not sign in. Please check your network connections and try again". My network connection is fine for all other applications. Any help?

Hello Remundy,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with iMessage. I recommend reviewing the following article:
iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Updated toi IOs5.1, and now imessage doesn´t work.

i have updated toi IOs5.1, and now imessage doesn´t work.
what can i do??
al actualizar el software a 5.1 no funciona imessage.
como lo soluciono?

I am having this issue too. After doing all of the suggested ideas I found online, I am still stuck in "waiting for activiation" mode. I live out of the country, and my cell phone is not connected to my carrier's network for the next month (so I really have a glorified ipod touch).
If anyone finds a fix, please pass this info along.
I have already tried:
resetting network settings
log in and out of iMessage/ Facetime
log in and out of iCloud
log in and out of iTunes on my phone
full restore mode on iTunes on my computer
HELP!!!!!!!

TS4268 My iMessage doesn't work on my iPad. My software is up to date, wifi is working, apple ID is working but the verification stops and goes back to sign on. Why does this happen?

My iMessage doesn't work on my iPad. My software is up to date, wifi is working, apple ID is working but the verification stops and goes back to sign on. Why does this happen?

Look at no. 5 in this text which was copied from Apple's support site for troubleshooting Messages and FaceTime activation.
Troubleshooting Apple ID activation
After each step, toggle iMessage and FaceTime off and then on again in Settings > Messages and Settings > FaceTime.
Update to the latest version of iOS.
Ensure that you have an active Internet connection. You can complete activation using Wi-Fi or a cellular data connection. Check your Wi-Fi network using standard Wi-Fi network troubleshooting.
If you receive an error when signing in to your Apple ID, visit myinfo.apple.com, sign in to your account, and ensure that the primary email address has been verified.
Ensure that FaceTime has not been restricted: Settings > General > Restrictions > FaceTime.
In Settings > General > Date & Time, ensure that Set Automatically is on. If Set Automatically is on, but the incorrect time zone is displayed, turn Set Automatically off and then choose the correct time zone, date, and time. Then turn Set Automatically on again.
Enable iMessage and FaceTime while connected to another Wi-Fi network in a different location.
This is the support kb article.

IMessage can't connect to server

Hey,
since I've made the update to OS X 10.8.2 iMessage doesn't work.
Whenever I wanna log in it comes an error message: "the server announces an error to the processing of the request"
I've already called the Apple Support Team but they couldn't help me.
Do you have any ideas?
Thank you in advance.
Marcel

I think something is up at apple.
I'm still not able to connect to iMessages via my MA. Although I have the correct password I tried to change it via iMessages which directs me to iforgot.apple.com. If I chose to change it via my email address I do not get an email with the corresponding link to do so. It is not in the spam either.
Nobody experiences the same problem?

IPhone 5 doesn't connect to iTunes, although I just synchronized my iPhone 3.

I just bought an iPhone 5 and would like to sync with content from iPhone 3. When configurating the iPhone, I chose the option to connect to iTunes. However, it was impossible to click on File/ synchronize iPhone, as it was greyed out!
As I wanted to use it straight off, I had to chose the configuration option "use as new device" (or similar).
How do I sync with iTunes now? It still doesn't connect to my iTunes account.

HT201269 I have an IPhone 4 that turns off.When I plug the phone into a outlet, it says to connect to iTunes. But my phone doesn't connect. I need to backup info to sync to a new iPhone. Is there another way to get the info from the old one?

I have an IPhone 4 that turns off on its own. When I plug the phone into an outlet, it says to connect to iTunes. When i connect my phone to itunes, the screen displays the apple icon and doesn't connect to iTunes. I need to backup info on this phone so I can apply my back up to a new iPhone. Is there any another way i can do this? My older phone will not show it's connected to iTunes. I used iCloud on the phone with problems, but I didn't back up all the info thru iCloud. Is there another way to back up?

Sounds like your phone is in recovery mode. In this case, all data on it is gone. There's nothing to back up.

IMessage doesn't work all the time

Hi,
I'm using iPhone4S and noticed that recently for the past week, iMessage doesn't work when I text my husband who's using iPhone4.
I tried switchin network (wifi and telco data) but both also doesn't work. Please advise why this is the case and how to fix it.
SMS international is costly.
Thanks.

Ask him to enable his email address to receive iMessages and do the same on yours. It's in Settings > Messages.

Help! My iMessage doesn't work on my new iPhone 5s, I've changed my sim twice, but iMessage only works with my Apple ID.

Recently got a new iPhone 5s and the iMessage doesn't work. I tried the sim in another phone and it didn't work either so I put a completely new sim in my iPhone and iMessage doesn't work. It will only work when I use my Apple ID for received messages. I don't know what to do. I have reset everything and it still doesn't work. My software is up to date. Please help!

ACTIVATING FACETIME AND IMESSAGES
Activating Facetime and Imessages on your phone requires the ability to send SMS messages and depending upon where you are that might be an international SMS. Check with your carrier to see if your plan supports sending of international SMS messages. If you are having trouble activating Facetime or Imessages turn them both off on your device and reset the device (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost)). Wait for the device to restart and wait a minute and turn Facetime and imessage back on and wait for activation. If that does not fix things read the following articles:

my iPod touch 5th g. is stuck on recovery mode, before this i was trying to update it to iOS8. I'm trying to connect it to iTunes but its under unspecified and doesn't connect to iTunes(Asus Eee pc) What do i do? please help me.

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 another cable
- 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.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
And as necessary:
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

My iPad doesn't connect to my home WiFi; but my Toshiba Laptop does?

can any one help with my WiFi problem. My iPad doesn't connect to my home WiFi; but my Toshiba Laptop does? and my iPad works in other places but not at home????

Some things to try first:

2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)

My Ipad doesn't connect to wifi while all other devices are connected.
