IMessage not working after updating with iOS 6.1.3

My son's iPhone will not 'activate' iMessage after he updated to iOS 6.1.3.
Tried resetting.
Tried switching iMessage on and off.
Tried Setting/WiFi/Tap blue dot/Renew Lease
Any other ideas?
Other features seem to be working as normal.
Thanks.

Nope still can't get it to work ChrisJ4203
Tried the Send & Receive button. The Apple Id is correct but there is no 'tick' next to the correct telephone number. Number is greyed out so can't click on it.
Any ideas?

  • IMessage not working after updating to IOS 6.1

    I just updated to IOS 6.1 on my iPad (version 3).  When the iPad rebooted it was not connected to the internet - I connect through bluetooth with my iphone as a hotspot.  I proceeded past that point without a connection.  Now my iMessage does not work.  It gets caught up when the bar indicates the message is almost sent.  Then the red ! appears and the message is not delivered.
    What do I need to do to get this working again?

    I think I have fixed the problem. I tried resetting, etc. I also tried turning off iMessage and then reactivating. it would work for a short time and then lose it.
    I noticed that I could not iMessage to my personal email address, which is set up in iCloud. When I tried, the Send button stayed grayed out.
    So I edited my contact record, changing the order of two email addresses in the contact record. I had an email address custom labeled iPhone email, and that one was first in my contact record. I changed the order first, making my home (primary) email address the first email in the record. Then, I reentered my phone email address as the last email in the record, and relabeled the phone email address label to read phone emai. Voila! I got a lovely blue talk bubble next to my home/personal email address (the one that is set up with iMessage). Morevoer, I could then direct an iMessage to it. It now syncs my conversations on all devices (iMac, iPhone, iPad 2).
    FWIW, iPad is still running iOS 6.0, but if this fix holds, I will update that later today.

  • My iMessage and facetime is not working after updating to ios 7... My ipad works perfectly and it's the same apple id.  Any answers or reasons why on the iPhone 5 is not working???

    My iMessage and facetime is not working after updating to ios 7...
    Any answers on how to fix it?  I've tried to restart, restore connected to itunes, but nothing.

    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 new iPad sound is not working after updating to ios 6.1

    My new iPad sound not working after updating to ios 6.1. Headphones are working fine. I tried all the troubleshoot. can anyone know the answer, plz share with me

    Hi,
    I have exactly the same issue as everyone above. I only get sound through the slider on the ringtone in settings and through my headphones. I do not get any sound anywhere else at all.
    I Have tried:
    - Updating to iOS 6.1.3
    -re starting the device
    -checking that the device is not muted. My slider switch is set to mute rather than lock and is unmuted.
    -going into general settings and reset all settings
    -the device reset several times (waiting until I saw the all important apple logo)
    -removing the last few apps I installed.
    Nothing at all has worked, please help!

  • 3G is not working after updating to iOS 6.1

    My 3G connection is not working after updating to iOS 6.1. I have tried all possible solutions like resetting the network, restarting the phone etc.
    With this kind of bugs in every update, Apple will no more be THE Apple.
    There are bugs which have not been fixed even in the subsequent updates. SMSs going blank being one of them.
    Miss you Sir Jobs.....

    I have since managed to sort mine out - when the phone was updated it wiped out the network settings. 
    I was able to reset them by manually putting the information in:
    Settings - General - Cellular - Cellular Data Network and then I put in the correct details for APN, username and Password in the relevant sections and now it works OK.
    Hopefully it will work for others too

  • My 3G connection is not working after updating to iOS 6.1. I have tried all possible solutions like resetting the network, restarting the iPad

    My 3G connection is not working after updating to iOS 6.1. I have tried all possible solutions like resetting the network , restarting iPad , ...

    The same story. No 3G after updating to 6.1.  Told my daughter temporarily not to do an update on her iPad with 6.01. We've exchanged SIMs. I inserted her SIM in my iPad - 3G appeared immediately. And my SIM in her iPad with ios 6.01 also WORKS FINE. We use the same provider - Megafon Moscow. After attempting to revert SIMs to original configuration, 3G disappeared on my iPad again. Don't know what's going on with SIM during the update to 6.1

    Iphone 4 personal Hotspot not working after update to IOS 7.1 India BSNL cellular

    BSNL is not a supported carrier. Personal Hotspot requires carrier support and provisioning of the account to enable it. iOS 7.1 disabled the ability to manually configure Personal Hotspot on unsupported carriers.

  • Anyone else's iPhone 4s speaker not working after update to iOS 6.1?

    My speaker does not work after updating the software to iOS 6.1. No sound for incoming calls or texts, no speakerphone, no siri, no music or any sounds played from apps. Headphones still work as does anything plugged into the headphone jack. I've check all my settings - everything is correct. I've rebooted and restored settings several times, I've docked it - nothing works.
    Anyone else having this problem? Did anyone have this problem and were able to fix it? Does anyone know if Apple is aware and will be sending another update to fix it? I really don't think it's a hardware problem. Phone is in immaculate condition and never dropped or spilled on.

    As stated...
    Sorry... But...

  • IMessage stops working after updating to ios 7

    i have an iphone 4s and after updating to ios 7 imessage stopped working. i tried to activate it and it just doesn't. i tried to restore it and use a backup and it's still not working

    I have the exact same problem that you have described. I have tried all the "fixes" that have been suggested and not a single one has worked.
    Apparently we are part of a small** percentage of Apple users that have been affected.
    Small to Apple is over 2 million people.
    You would think that for such a large company who has had mutiple iOS update problems in the past ( The iOS 5 update bricked my phone ) they would have these issues resolved by now.
    It's been 2 weeks and there are multiple contacts that I cannot text or they can't reply to me.
    It is very frustrating!
    It seems the only solution right now is to do a complete factory reset of the phone, but even then it could take up to 24 hours for your iMessage to verify, if it infact works.
    I am very disappounted in Apple and the service they have "provided" to solve this issue.
    Perhaps next time they do an update they should restrict who can dowload it and when to avoid bogging down the servers and causing issued.
    As perviously noted though this issue only affect a **small** percentage of Apple users, so I am sure they are in no hurry to fix this issue, after all it's been 2 weeks and even with the iOS 7.0.2 update the problem STILL isn't resolved.
