IMessage troubles. Could not sign in.Please check your network... PLEASE HELP
So ive been facing some problems with my imessage just recently. It happened abruptly just after 5 minutes of my last message to my friend. Ever since then i can no longer send messages with each one saying it failed. I decided maybe to relog my imessage account only to find that i keep getting an error saying could not sign in. please check your network connection and try again. Does anyone know how to help?

Am from India. when i tried to turn on face time the error displayed is" Could not sign in. Check your network connection and try again". how can it be resolved?
If you are using someone else's WiFi they may have restrictions in place.
(cofee shop, etc..)
Have you tried connecting using at least more than one particular WiFi network ?
You might want to try googling for a bandwidth test site
verify you have reasonable throughput..
1 megabit up and 1 megabit down..
(bandwidthplace.com is what I typically use..) -
FaceTime says "Could not sign in. Check your network connection and try again."
I can't sign in to FaceTime using a macbook air. I can sign in to iTunes, iCloud (so I know my sign in is correct and works) and others can use facetime on my network. FaceTime says "Could not sign in. Check your network connection and try again." using Time Capsule router with no problems ever. What can I do to sign in?
Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your 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.

If no joy...
Reset all settings
Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings.

I am trying to sign into iMessage. Error--Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again.
Any other thoughts, mario49?
I've no trouble connecting to or using iMessage on my iPhone or my iPad; and no trouble accessing iTunes, the iTunes Store, the (iOS) App Store from my iOS devices, the (OS X) App Store from my MBP. So, my Apple ID is still functioning just fine, thank you very much and my network connection is not an issue.
My hosts file has not been tampered with, and I'm not blocked by any firewalls--the failures occur where ever I am.
This issue has been happening only for the last 2 days, but I'm completely locked out of Messages from my MBP.
So, what's the deal? -

IMessage on MacBook Pro "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again."
I am currently receiving this error message when trying to log in to iMessage on my MacBook Pro (Mavericks), "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again."
I have never had an issue until the past few days as I have been setting up my new iPhone 5s. I used to have an iPhone 4.
When I go to the 'Messages' App., Preferences> Accounts> the iMessage account is set as "(Inactive)".
My Apple ID appears to be working fine in iCloud, the App. Store etc.
Thank you for your help.Check Enable this account in Preferences. Try logging in again.

Cannot get on iMessage or FaceTime I get this message "FaceTime Activation: Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again
Try something really simple.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Or try this. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
Or try this as well. Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure it is set to On.
@Freckles888 ..... I really doubt that "millions of others" are having this problem. I think that news would be all over the airwaves and Apple would be taking more heat about it that we can imagine. -
My iphone 5 randomly began restarting regularly. Since when it has been on my iMessage is unavalibale, when I go on the settings it says waiting for activation when I try to activate with my apple id it says 'could not sign in. Please check your network settings an try again' this is also happening with face time how can I fix this?
Try backing up then restoring your device on iTunes via your computer, a few other with the same issue have done this and it has fixed the problem for them so it might be worth a shot :)
