Imessage not working in iOS 7
iMessage has stopped working on my iphone since upgrading to ios7. I did the network reset as recommended elsewhere, and it worked again for a few days - now whenever I text I get a message that my text was not sent. No explanation of why or what to do. Ideas?
iMessage seems to have developed a bug with ios7 over the past week. I've tried the reset network settings thing but it didn't help.
Green = SMS message
Blue = iMessage
What did help me was logging into iCloud and resetting my account. Then go into Settings and messages, activate iMessaging and when prompted enter you new iCloud password. Random I know but it worked for me.

IMessage not working after iOS 5.1 upgrade! Feedback pls
iMessage not working after iOS 5.1 upgrade, anybody experiencing this as well? Feedback please......
You shouldn't have to hard restart and it shouldn't have anything to do with your router. If anyone else runs into this problem try resetting the network settings on your phone. All the steps to do this can be found here http://tekshot5.com/ios-5-1-imessage-fix/
Edit: Some of us don't have the option of resetting our DNS servers. I run my own for example for caching purposes. -
IMessage not working on iOS 7 with iPhone 4s
Since I've upgraded to iOS 7, iMessage never worked again on my iPhone 4S... I tried to fix it deactivating iMessage and then by resetting network settings, but it didn't work.
Type those characters on the phone keyboard, then press the green "Dial" button on the bottom of the keyboard.

No push notifications, iMessage not working after iOS 7 upgrade
I'm not receiving push notifications for Apps such as Facebook after iOS 7 upgrade and iMessage & Facetime won't work. I repeatedly get a pop-up message to connect to iTunes for push notifications but connecting to iTunes does nothing. I have searched endlessly for a resolution but can only find answers directed at iPhone users. I am so regretting upgrading, I was very happy with how everything worked before. I should also say that I have nil experience on matters "Apple" and technical jargon is lost on me :(
There are hundreds or people wih this exact same problem and apple has no interest in fixing it or publicly giving and answer to the issues.
They Botched this release big time. I look forward to having tp wipe my 64gb iPad and start from scratch. Oh boy do I!! -
Why is iMessage not working with iOS 7?
I have reset my network settings, reset all settings, called AT&T and even called Apple but my iMessage STILL says "waiting for activiation" after 2 whole days. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem? Every tried restoring it on my computer...

Does anyone else have this problem?
Yes, a simple search of the forums would have revealed that some users are experiencing issues. Apple has acknowledged that a small percentage of users are experiencing problems and have announced they are working on a fix.
Personally I have not experienced issues. -

IMessage not working since iOS 8
Since installing iOS 8 iMessage won't send many messages. Changing to SMS does not help. By experimenting, I think the messages that won't send are any with my wife's name included in the addressees. She also can not send messages that have my name in the addressees.
We share the same Apple account for app purchases, etc. but are logged into iMessage with separate Apple IDs. I am logged in with the common Apple ID and she is logged in with the ID linked to her iCloud account. I have an iPhone 5. She has an iPhone 4S. Both operating with iOS 8.
I have tried the suggestion of turning off iMessage in favor of SMS and then resetting the network settings, then turning iMessage back on. This does not resolve the issue.
We never had this problem until the iOS 8 update. I can not find solutions to this online... what to do???Hello, RicardoSwe.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I see you have tried some troubleshooting steps already. There are a couple more steps that I would recommend trying in the article below.

IMessage not working even after 'fix'
My iMessage on my iPhone 4 is not working. Phone is updated to most recent update. Sends iMessages to some people but not others and the people who I cannot send to also can't send to me, regardless of being on wifi or mobile network. I have tried the turn off imessage, reset network settings etc but still no improvement. Would be very helpful if anyone could give me some advice?
Macrumors posted a solution for this. I used it and it seems to have worked for me.
Here's what they said:
1. Turn off iMessage in Settings > Messages
2. Reset networking settings in Settings > General > Reset
3. Reenable iMessage in Settings > Messages

IMessage is not working in IOS 7 , Any workaround
iMessage is not working in IOS 7 , Any workaround
Yap, sad but true...
The most annoying problem, besides iMessage, is the keyboard, it's horrible on my iPhone 4 in Safari. Some on some formulars the keyboard is so **** slow that I had to stop typing after 2nd word.
But I could fix the iMessage Problem, first turn off iMsg, then you have to backup your Phone on your PC/Mac in iTunes, turn off auto sync when done and pull the phone off. Then go to the Phone settings and reset everything, then choose "set up as new device".
When done go to settings and activate iMsg and wait for activation, it will work! After you're done plug the phone back to your PC/Mac and restore from the Backup you made before. Now go to phone settings again and check if iMsg is on, if not (as it was in my case), turn it on and activate again, it will work now!!!
Attention: Apps and Music have to be resynced or downloaded after this, they are NOT part of the Backup.
This was what Apple tech. support told me to do and it worked fine.

Why is my iMessage and FaceTime not working with ios 7?
I just updated my iphone 5 to ios 7 and it's not letting me use FaceTime or iMessage. It's saying it's still activating. I'm afraid if I reset I will lose everything, but is there any other way to fix it?
Hi there,
both services send a silent SMS (one that is not listed anywhere on your device) containing a configuration request to an Apple server. This server then responds with the needed configuration details. It can take some (from a few minutes to several hours) time for this answer to come. Also if for whatever reason text send/receive is not working properly, iOS can get stuck on the "waiting for activation" message.
Hope this helps,
Chris -

Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number
Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number? It keeps going to imessage and then back to text message
Both you and the recipient have to have active data connections, and both devices have to have iOS 5 or higher to be able to use iMessage. Also, they both have to have iMessage activated. If that is already the case, there is a possiblility that iMessage is down. It has gone up and down several times in the past week. Check this page for status, and if necessary you can report a problem with a link in the lower right corner. http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/
