IMessage not connecting despite celluar and Wi-fi being enabled

Hi!
Just noticed over the last couple days my iMessage hasn't been working. I've tried a few basic trouble shooting things this morning (rebooting iPhone, resetting network settings, turning celluar and wifi data on and off) but I continue to get an error message saying "iMessage unavailable. Turn on cellular data or use Wi-fi to set up iMessage".
Any ideas of how to get my iMessage back up and running?

I just reset my password and that seemed to jump start iMessage again!

If I'm overseas, and I use iMessage not connected to wifi, and I'm messaging someone who has an iPhone as well with ios 7, will get charged SMS/mms fees?

No, but cellular data will be used at whatever international roaming rate you carrier charges for data in whatever country.
Exchanging iMessages requires the same thing as email - an available internet connection. SMS/MMS is completely separate from iMessage.

ITunes will not start, despite iPhone and/or iPod being plugged in

Hi
I've noticed that just recently my iTunes doesn't open when I connect my iPhone 3G or my video iPod to their docks.
I have the latest version of iTunes and both devices have the latest software installed. The 'Open iTunes when this iPod is attached' box is checked for the iPod, and the 'Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected' box is checked for the iPhone. Yet despite this, when I place either device in their respective docks nothing happens, iTunes refuses to open. If iTunes is already open, then it recognises both devices and starts to sync them.
I've looked in the startup entries and the Apple sync notifier, iTunes Helper and the QTTask are all ticked, so I'm wondering what's wrong. Any ideas?
Cheers
Matt

My program for Itune won't work as well. I tried several times double clicking the icon which should not be like that. I am not sure what is interfering the program.
I hope you can help me get through this issue. I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling the program but it won't respond properly. Anybody can give me few reasons on this?

My iphone 3gs will not connect to itunes and it says that I need to do a system restore. It also says that I need to enter my password on the iphone to connect to itunes but I can not do this because the phone is in emergency phone call mode only.

Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
Unfortunately, the data on your phone is already gone if you're seeing the connect to iTunes logo.

Nonsense, and very misleading advice. I've updated iPhone 3G, 3Gs,and 4 through itunes many times, never had a problem once, not with one single update in nearly 5 years of iPhones. Of course, I've never jailbroken my phones either. Hack your phone and have update problems? I've got news for you, the problems are not a result of iTunes or Apple's updates.

Dude you have a jailbroken phone as stated in your first post, no need to do a second post.
As per the forum term of service you can't get help here. Use google.
that's the downfall of jailbreaking your phone.

You've managed to permanently damage the phone. As gdgmacguy suggests, buy a new one. Preferably from a legitimate source.
You may also want to keep in mind that it is illegal to use the Gevey SIM in pretty much every country on the planet. It may still be legal on the continent of antarctica, but that's only because penguins don't use cell phones as a rule.

This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

I have a problem with my ipad i'ts not connected to server and also, on top of my keyboard it says private

Everyday i was able to access to the internet via wi-fi but later on Iwas'nt able to access, it's not connected to server and also when I used my keyboard it says private I want to undo it. I don't want private could you pls help me.

The Private is a button, tapping it allows you to turn private browsing on and off - as it's a button, so like the rest of the keys on the keyboard, it can't be removed. If the menu bar at the top of Safari is light grey (or the Private button has a white background) then private browsing is 'off' ; if the bar is dark grey (or Private has a darg grey background) then private browsing is 'on'.
For wifi, what have you tried, any/all of :
- disconnecting/reconnecting to your network
- soft-reset of your iPad and rebooting your router
- Settings > General > Reset Network Settings ?

ammausa,
If you have the CC, you may try to restart the Creative Cloud application by quitting and relaunching it.

When loading apps ex. Facebook it says you are not connected to Internet and everything on IPad is working.

When loading Facebook, it says not connecting to Internet and everything on IPad (CBC app), I have taken out the app and reconnected it and its still not loading. I have turn it off for a long time and still not working. Help.

Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac". Write down what it says about "version"and report that here. Now continue to "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
Even my 12 year old Mac lets me download the newest iTunes. Of course I can't install it but any computer can download the installer files so we need to know precisely what you are trying and what error messages you are seeing.
