IOS 7.0.3 upgrade killed Facetime, iMessage and Push Notifications

Facetime, iMessage and Push Notifications were working fine on my iPhone 4.
Since I upgraded to iOS 7.0.3 Facetime and iMessages cannot be activated because of 'Network error' and every app that supports 'Push Notifications' suggest to 'Connect to iTunes to use Push Notifications' at start.
Already tried to 'Reset as new phone' and restore from iCloud without any luck.
Suggestions ?

Ever since I got the 7.0.3 update on my iPhone 4 I get the "iMessage Activation: Could not sign in. Please check your network conection and try again". I can access icloud stuff using my apple ID fine elsewhere. I received iMessages on my laptop through the Messages app but anyone else who uses Messages has their iMessage sent to my laptop and not to my phone. I used to get the messages both at the same time.
I've tried removed the locate iphone app, reset the network settings, rebooted the phone, reconnected to my wifi and synched with iTunes. Nothing has worked.
I'm getting ready to restore the phone now in hopes that doing that works. Never had a problem with updates till now and while this is annoying at least my data is intact!

  • IMessage and push notifications not working after installing iOS 7!!

    My iMessages and push notifications don't work after installing iOS7..!!! I can't even log in to iMessages using my Apple ID.. And every time I log into Facebook or whatsapp it keeps telling me to connect to iTunes to receive push notifications..!!
    I connected to iTunes on my comp and tried resetting my phone.. Nothing works!! HELP

    Its stuffed, iMessage and facetime are both sitting on "waiting for activation" so they are not working, 1 post suggested resetting the phone again setting up as a new phone and then turning iMessage and Facetime on and then restoring.  After the reset iMessage and Facetime started working, I did the restore and it stopped working again.  Nice waste of 2 hours.

  • HT3529 I have had my iPhone unlocked properly but now on my new network, with the same number, iMessage and push notifications have stopped working. Any solutions?

    I have tried restoring my iphone twice as recommened by my local apple store staff, still no luck

    Is the new carrier you're using an official iPhone carrier? Apple warns that not all features of an iPhone will be available when using an iPhone with a non-supported carrier.
    Who is your new carrier?

    After updating to iOS 8.2 on the iPhone 4S, iMessage and FaceTime no longer work properly. constant hovering and disconnect from the service.
    Also, I noticed that going to the settings section is disabled service "Find iPhone".
    To get to the point tinctures "Messages" and "FaceTime" takes a few minutes.

  • Facetime, iMessage, and Mail not working after iOS 6.1.3 update

    I've had my iPod touch 4th generation since Oct 2010 and never updated the iOS until very recently. Before the update, Facetime worked consistently and easily. After I finally got around to updating my iOS a week ago, my iPod has come into severe issues.
    99% of the time, I cannot send or receive Facetime calls. If I try to make a call, it doesn't make the dial tone and eventually it just says "Connection Lost". Nothing happens if someone is trying to send me a call. I only Facetime with my boyfriend and his iPod hasn't changed since Facetime was last working. HIs other iPod is also updated with iOS 6.1.3.
    I never used iMessage before the iOS update, but because it says on Apple support that it uses push notifications like Facetime does, so I tried it. Most of the time, I cannot send or receive messages. I rarely used Mail before the update, but I never had a problem with it. Now, when I enter my gmail password, it keeps saying my username and password are not correct, even though I haven't changed my credentials.
    I only use my iPod for Facetime, iTunes, and Pandora. I don't need iMessage or Mail, but I am testing with those to see if this can help find the root cause of the problem. Pandora works smoothly so I know it's not a wifi connection issue. I have searched for remedies on end and tried:
    1.  Reset, turn off/restart, turn Facetime on and off, etc.
    2. Changing the DNS server address to 8.8.8.8, which made Facetime work normally for one time and never again
    3. Updating my Apple ID password online, then signing out and signing back in
    4. Creating another Apple ID with my other gmail account. Maybe 1 out of 10 Facetime call attempts, I can generate the dial tone, but when my boyfriend clicks to receive the call, it says that I am unavailable. iMessage has about the same success rate. It seems when I miraculously can send or receive texts through iMessage, I can manage to get the dial tone when I try Facetime, though the call cannot go through.
    This is of course extremely frustrating and I highly regret the update now. I was hoping for an improved iPod after the update, and now I have a near-dud! I did make sure to check my location and date and time, and both are correct (US, Central time). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    I spoke too soon. I tried Facetime again last night and had the same problems. Another factory reset did not work. I think it may be time to just call Apple support.

  • New iOS 6 activated the wrong phone # for iMessage and Facetime

    I just got an iPad 2 and installed the new iOS 6.......only problem is that I have 2 phone numbers on my account and it activated my employee's phone number when it was installed for iMessage and Facetime.......how do i change this number to mine?

    Turn iMessage and FaceTime off, reset the device by holding both buttons until the apple logo appear then let go and wait for it to restart. Then turn iMessage and FaceTime back on and enter the settings again

  • No push notifications any more after upgrade to iOS 7.02 - instead 'connect to iTunes to use push notifications'

    Hi all,
    after the upgrade to iOS 7.02 on my 4s I don't receive push notifications any more.
    Instead I am getting the meassage "Connect to iTunes to use push notifications" all the time when I am selecting whatsapp, facebook messenger, or any other messaging service. In addition iMessage isn't working any more.
    I have connected to iTunes but this didn't change a single thing.
    Is there any idea of how to fix this without re-installing a backup which I don't have?
    Some threads are suiggesting a re-install of the upgrade but I don't know how to do this.
    Thanks for your help all!

    I am beginning to wonder whether there isn't some weird problem with that Home button.
    Try this: Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch = On
    This will place a button on the iPad's screen.
    You can move this button anywhere on the screen.
    This button gives you - amongst many other things - a soft Home button.
    To turn your iPad on, you can use the Sleep/wake button or move a small magnet across the bezel of the iPad where the volume controls are.
    If you use the magnet, then: Settings > General > Lock / Unlock = On
    Now should not need to press the Home button anymore.
    If this method allows you to use your iPad without a hitch, then suspect hardware problems with the Home button.

  • IOS 4 and Push Notifications?

    Are push notifications finally supported on SLS now that iOS 4.0 has been released?
    Message was edited by: Rusty Ross

    shrugs
    Works on the iPhone and iPod (running OS 3.1.3) I tested. Believe me, you almost have to have the SLS machine sitting on a public IP for everything to work correctly, but it does appear to work for us (20+ iPhone/iPod/iPad users, 50+ laptop/desktop clients). SSL is an absolute requirement for all services, and you must use the FQDN for all services when configuring the clients. Users should be shortname@FQDN when configuring services on the clients. Reverse DNS must match forward DNS (FQDN) for the server, and the SSL certificate also must match the FQDN of the server. Aliases make a huge mess of things (IMHO), so I don't use them.
    Everything still works on the iPhones and iPods running iOS 4, but it seems the push notifications are a bit slower for some reason in iCal. I was messing with the iPod this morning using iCal, and noticed an update made to a calendar from a desktop took a couple minutes to appear on the iPod. Still much faster than the 30 minute "pull" interval configured on the iPod for services that do not support push.

  • IOS 7.0.2 upgrade killed iTunes

    After I upgraded my iPhone 5 64gb to iOS 7.0.2 i tried to open iTunes and it keeps crashing. I booted my phone with same results. Also, updated iPad mini 16gb, but the iTunes opend just fine. Any ideas?

    I would suggest making sure you have a back up on either iTunes on you computer or on iCloud. From there, go into your Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings at the very top.  Now, resetting your phone does not erase your iPhone, it just resets all of the settings.  If that doesn't work, perform a "Hard Reset" by holding onto your Sleep/Wake and Home Button for about 30sec or until you see the phone turns off and shows the Apple Logo.  Once you see the Apple Logo, then you can let go and see if they issue persist.
    The last resort is, Erasing All Content and Settings and setting the phone up as a new device and seeing if the issue persist.  If not, erase the phone again and restore from your backup, either iTunes on your computer or iCloud.
    ***Backing up your information is very important. Do not attempt the last step unless you have a back up or all else will be lost***
    Good luck!
