IMessages on my iPhone stopped working suddenly.

My iMessages stopped working. I tried to turn off iMessages and back on, then tried to activate with my email address and when I try to sign in with apple id it goes to the screen where it shows the email address, and when I hit next it displays "verifying" and then goes back to the sign in page. I am currently not in range for cellular signal but I am on wifi. Shouldn't I be able to sign in with just my email address, as now it does not display my phone # because I do not have a cellular signal? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Update to my original issue: Before this issue occurred, I changed the time on my iPhone to manual so I could set it to match the time zone I was in. Again, I had no cell signal which is why I set my iPhone clock to manual. What I did to fix iMessages...I went back in under settings and set the clock back to "Set Automatically". Then I had to double click on the Home button to bring up the apps that were running in the background on my phone. I found the Messages app and deleted it from the apps that were currently running. I then went back under settings, into the Messages setting and tried to sign back in to iMessages just using my email address. This time I was able to sign back in to iMessages. Then I opened my Messages app and was able to send iMessages again. Evidently when I messed with my Date and Time settings, it did something to my iMessages. No clue as to why, if anyone has any idea why altering my time settings would cause iMessages to stop working, feel free to let me know so I can better understand this problem.

IMail on iPhone stopped working - suddenly!

I started getting a message saying my email and password were incorrect so no email was coming through. That was not the problem. I deleted then reactivated my Apple ID based account on the iPhone. Now the message I am getting is that my Apple ID cannot be used with MobileMe Mail? Hello? It was working fine up to this point. Yes, I have moved to iCloud - more than a month ago. No problems until now.

After installing Maverick on my macbook pro, imessage on my ipad and Iphone stopped working properly. Is there a fix/test.

After installing Maverick on my macbook pro, imessage on my ipad and Iphone stopped working properly.
What I get is a RED exclamation and "Not Delivered". It happens even if i resend it over and over.
I have made sure that the 3 devices all have the same settins in iMessage.
I have made sure to try doing it from the same network and from the cell provider network.
I have tried rebooting all three devices.
The only way to get it to work on my iphone and iPad is to dissable it in Mavericks on my MacBook Pro.
Is this a "feature" of the new OS?

Hi,
On the iOS devices remove the Apple ID.
Set the device in to Airplane Mode (this breaks with the server)
Start with the iPhone to add back the Apple ID - only after you see the iPhone Number is Verified.
The Restart the Mac Version
Accept the pops ups that state what the iPhone is using.
Do same on iPad.

HT1430 my iphone 4 stopped working suddenly....i held the on button and the home button at the same time and it cam on...is this a fault as i cant have my phone switching off randomly?

my iphone 4 stopped working suddenly....it wouldnt charge or anything...i was told to push the on button and the home button at the same time and it came back on.
is this a fault with the iphone????
i cant have my phone switching off randomly...any help please...thankyou.

sometimes it happens, a hard reset will sometimes solve the issue.
If the issue starts happening more often, I would consider restoring the device to factory settings to install clean software. If the issue still persists after that, the device might need a hardware repair.

Good luck

My IPhone stopped working right after I did the most current update, yesterday. The screen has a picture of the usb cord, pointing towards the ITunes logo. I cannot use the phone at all. I have tried turning it off and on.ITunes won't recognize device

Hi there,
Can someone please help. My IPhoneS stopped working right after I did the latest update which was yesterday. Now, the phone does not work at all. When turned on, the screen shows a picture of USB cable pointing to the ITunes logo. I have tried just about everything, and cannot get it working. It's like it is frozon. My ITunes does not recognize my device. Cannot dial out either. I desperately need to get it working. Can someone please help me.
Thanking you in advance for your help. :-)

The update did not do anything.
AT&T cannot and will not do anything, they do not provide support for iPhones, Apple does.
The issue is not with the iPhone or iOS if you've reset network settings and tried forgetting the Wi-Fi Network, it is specific to the network.
Check the settings on the router, try disabling the security settings first... that will clarify the issue is not with the device but rather the Network.

It's her phone, and no, her boyfriend cannot track it unless he knows her Apple ID & password.

If you do not find a solution in the iPod nano (6th generation) - User Guide, suggest that you call AppleCare if still under warranty or take a trip to your local Apple Store or AASP.

@Keith:
Why are you always proposing your 'further questions' as answers? That's not adequate in any way!
Especially as a 'Moderator' you should know better, I really dislike this and I am quite sure that I am not on my own with this opinion.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/4865.whether-or-not-you-should-self-propose-an-answer-in-an-msdn-or-technet-forum.aspx
It is pretty obvious from the post that this happens while loading WinPE, what is there to misinterpret?
Are you using different WDS servers for your sites?
If yes, try to remove the boot image from the 'Broken' one and re-import it.
Comparing checksums is never a bad idea in such a scenario.
