Imessage wont activate

Imessage on my 4S wont activate. It is stuck on 'waiting for activation'.
Please help.

Your profile is wrong - iPhone 4S do not have IOS 6.0.2.
Switch iMessage off and switch back on again.

    My imessage wont activate and work, and i dont receive messages from people useing imessage? how do i get imessage to work?

    I recently moved back to Australia for school from Canada and signed up for the new iphone 6 plus. After using icloud to save and backup from my previous iphone 4s, all of the apps eventually worked....except for whatsapp. After looking through my phone and numerous chat forums, it appears that my imessage and facetime are stuck in, "waiting for activation".....is anyone else having problems with this?
    I am curious as I am unable to receive the whatsapp code to re-activate my application. This brings me to my second question, is this an iphone/apple problem or a whatsapp third party problem?
    I've had friends send imessages to me and they appear to coming through. I have already rebooted and restarted my phone numerous time. A strong connection to wifi and data stream have all come in loud and clear.
    I have tried all of the directions that were posted and still have no whatsapp and imessage still inconsistent.
    Thank you

    Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for error 1604.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
    iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

  • My imessage wont activate

    Can anyone HELP I have just downloaded the IOS 7 and now my imessage wont work, I have turned my imessage on and when I have signed in with my apple ID it comes up check network connection, I have got a full wifi signal and mobile signal, but I also keep receiving a text from an unknown number with a load of symbols and numbers on it

    If you have jailbreak on it, restore it.
    If you don't have jailbreak on it, try to put your simcard back in, and switch on airplane mode, then restart it. It should work now.
    If this doesn't help restore your iPhone 4
    Hope this helps

  • Imessage wont activate and apps locking up in ios7

    I'm having several problems with iOS7. First I cannot get my facetime or imessage to activate it just keeps telling me to check my network connections which they are fine. Second I have apps that I try to launch namely words with friends that get a pop up that says " Connect to itunes to Use Push Notifications" when you hit ok it just relaunches the pop up and basically locks the phone up. Any ideas or suggestions?

    I'm having the same problem. I have tried to:
    1. Reset the network settings and connect
    2. Using 3G network to setup both imessage and facetime.
    and they still dont work. Is this a bug with the iOS7?

  • My iMessage wont activate on my new iPhone 5c, I have tried everything. Please Help!

    I have tried everything in all of these discussions and i still cant get my imessage or facetime to activate on my iphone 5c. Please help! I've been trying since Thursday!

    I add to this discuss topic.  I have similar problem and tried everything in Apple Help support for this problem.
    Trying to activate iMessage, and appears "Waiting for activation..." (Esperando activación... in spanish).  In the iMac and iPad an advise window shows saying another device is using the Apple ID.  OK, accept in both devices but in the iPhone 5S still "Waiting activation...".
    I did a reset about all settings, activate iMessage for 1 hour and active again, hard reset, under wifi or 3G/LTE connection, loging out and in again with my Apple account and the problem still there.  "Waiting activation...".
    Solution anyone?
    Thanks!!

  • HT4623 just got a brand new iPhone 5 today and my iMessage wont activate on my new phone

    just got a brand new iphone 5 today from apple, and my imessages will not activate with the new phone. I was wondering if i had to wait a while for it to activate or is there a problem. I keep getting the message that says it is unable to activate at this time.

    it can take up to 24 hours to activate.

  • IMessage wont activate, keeps give an error message.

    When I try and activate my iMessage it comes up with an error - an error occurred during activation. Try again. HELP! How do I fix it?

    This one works of me.
    http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/23/fix-imessage-and-facetime-activation-errors-with- ios-7/
    The problem, in my case, was that I use two mail addresses. iMessage wants the email address associated with my icloud account. The email address that appeared in the initial sign in screen was my other address - it's my Apple Store address. I erased the original address and entered the icloud address.

  • Facetime and iMessage wont activate

    "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again"
    I get this everytime i try to sign in/activate my ipod's facetime and imessage. Ive tried multiple instructions including changing my IPN. Nothing seems to work! Does anybody have a solution for me? Its becoming very frustrating.

    Go to WIFI Settings and tap your network, i.e. your wireless router or access point. Then it shows your IP Address, Gateway, etc...  It also shows your DNS. It may normally be the same as your Gateway but it can be edited easily. Change it to 8.8.8.8 and this will likely be the best DNS you could use.  That DNS server (8.8.8.8) "knows" the activation server to help your device login in order for you to activate FaceTime.

  • Ipad 3 on ios 6.0.1 wont activate imessage, icloud and facetime. And i wont get notifications FROM ANY APP WHATSOEVER!!

    I recently updated my ipad 3 to ios 6.0.1 and there are a **** lot of problems. My imessage and facetime wont activate - it keeps saying couldnt sign in check ur net connection. And safari sometimes says it couldnt open the sight because it couldnt connect to the server. My net is going perfectly fine but ios isnt. And then i wont get push notifications for any app, no matter wat i do. Ive restored it twice, but nothings working watsoever. If anyone has any idea how i can sign in to imsg, facetime and icloud or get my notifications to come plzzz do tell me i cant find a solution anywhere!!!!!!!!
    And apple u really need to fix these problems in the next update!!!!
    Thank u.

    hi there,
    i think i know whats wrong. one thing you could do is: try holding the home butoon and the power button together and shut down the ipad. you have to press both of them together!!! then to switch it back on, do the same thing again. it should start up. if it still doesnt work, you could try going to setttings, then "notifications" and turn on notifications for the apps you want. About safari, if it doesnt work from step 1, you could go to wifi or cellular and just reconnect your ipad to the internet.
