IMessage on iPhone will not accept my Apple ID

I am trying to sign into iMessage on my phone with my Apple ID, it will not let me. It shows the iMessage box in Settings as "on", but underneath it reads 'Waiting for Activation'.... waiting for what?? there's no where to sign in and when I do, it says it cannot accept it at this time....
Anyone have anything on this mystery? All i want to do is send text message as iMessages not Texts...frustrating.
Thanks in advance for any help.

same with me...my imessages do not work and my freakin facebook app disappeared and won't let  me install...never had a prob. until today...***

  • My Iphone will not accept the Apple airport express as the Wi fi network so I can facetime, how do I fix?

    My Iphone (I have a 4s and 3G) will not accept the apple airport express as the wi fi network so that I can face time. How do I resolve this?

    What are the exact specifications of the wireless network you've created? (If you're not sure, open Airport Utility on your computer and check the Radio Mode in the Wireless tab). Bear in mind:
    - iPhones earlier than the iPhone 4 cannot connect to an "n-only" network - they need b/g compatibility.
    - No iPhone can connect to a 5GHz network (Compatibility mode will also fix this).

  • I had trouble with a iTunes download.  Two songs of an album were not complete.  I contacted iTunes and yawl post the the download again.  My iTunes now has the complete copies.  The trouble is my iPhone will not accept/sync the complete copies.  What up?

    I had trouble with a iTunes download.  Two songs of an album were not complete.  I contacted iTunes and they redownloaded the tunes.  My iTunes now has the complete copies.  The trouble is my iPhone will not accept/sync the complete copies.  It will only play the original incomplete copies of these songs.  I've made new playlists and made sure I had the correct items checked to backup/sync.  Still only the incomplete copies are played via the iPhone.  What's up?  What can I do to get to the iPhone to sync the correct version?

    - Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
    - Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
    If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

  • HT1918 My iPhone will not accept my new credit card info

    My iPhone will not accept my new credit card

    By 'not accept' you mean ... ? If you are getting an error message then if you post what the message says then somebody on here might be able to try and help.
    For a card to be accepted it needs to be registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, and to have been issued by a bank in the country where you and your iTunes account are. If your card is, and if it's being declined, then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes support and see if they know why it's being declined : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management

  • I cloud will not accept my apple id and password. I have changed the password twice trying to make it work. What to do now?

    I cloud will not accept my apple id and password on my laptop. I have changed the password twice trying to make it work. What to do now?

    IF your imessage is saying waiting for activation then do this:
    backup your phone to itunes or icloud.
    then on your phone go to settings - general - reset - erase all contents and settings - this will wipe your phone clean.
    once the process is done, you can restore from the backup you made, then you should be able to activate your imessage.

  • When trying to set up my Apple TV it will not accept my apple Id

    We are trying to set up our Apple TV and when we are setting it up it will not accept our Apple ID and Password.  Any ideas?

    I don't understand what you are setting up using numbers - or letters.  If it's a passcode, then you can translate the letters into numbers as you would on a telephone keyboard - for example, an "S" would be a 7.
    But that may not matter, as the process for setting up voicemail is strongly tied to your cellular carrier.  If the above doesn't answer your issue, contact your cellular carrier for setup assistance.

    There are far too many possibilities for anyone to guess the real problem. Where are you located? Where did you get the phone? Is it carrer locked? If it is, are you using a SIM for that carrier? Is your wife's phone carrier locked? If so is it to the same carrier as your phone? Have you activated your phone with iTunes? (It won't work with any carrier until it has been activated).

  • Mail will not accept my apple password since setting up iCloud?

    mail will not accept my apple password since setting up iCloud?

    Hi there.
    Since my situation is very similar, rather than start a new thread, I wonder if I could jump on this one for some clarification & to see if I'm okay to proceed with the Tiger instructions you posted.
    I'm running 10.4.11 on a 17" Titanium PowerBook G4. I have a .mac e-mail address & I'm using Apple Mail.
    I migrated to iCloud several weeks ago & everything's been fine but I haven't been able to get any e-mail through all weekend.
    I logged in to iCloud a short while ago & everything seems fine.
    So could I ask whether the procedure you linked to works for .mac addresses as well as .me addresses?
    Also, can I assume that the messages that are still sitting in my inbox will still be there after I remove the existing account & create the new one, (seeing as they're synchronised with the inbox online), whilst the complex hierarchy of folders I've created locally in the mail client will remain untouched?
    Thanks!

    I recently restored my iphone.  When attempting to set it back up it will not accept my password.  Yet when i log into the apple store i have no problem logging in using the same apple id and password.  How do i get the iphone to recognize my apple id and password?

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps... Sigh Out of the Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

    What happens when trying to update via iTunes on the computer?

  • Itunes will not accept my apple id password in the store.

    when I enter the store in itunes 11.0.1, a message popps up telling me to enter my password to enable automatic downloads. When I enter the correct password, the same message pops back up instantly. If I enter the wrong password, it tells me so in red. I can not do anything with the store, because it will not accept my account. I can purchase on other devices with the same account and password with no problem.

    You may need to do a credit card "update" in your account.  Apparently "it" needed a re-verify because I had accessed my apple account from another computer.  Did so and it worked. Apple is opaque in many ways and it was totally unhelpful as it just kept rejecting my good password with no explanation.
