  • TS4268 iMessage Activation error

    My iPad battery accidently went flat. On restarting I get a iMessage Activation error, rejecting the CORRECT name and password. I have signed out of iTunes and tried again with the same result. How do you reset iMessage activation?

    Try this  - Reset 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

  • TS4268 iMessage Activation Error - iOS6

    I have iPad 2 and I've just upgraded from 5.1.1 to 6.0 but unfortunately I cannot sign in to iMessage, I am gettting iMessage Activation Error saying that my user name or password is incorrect even though I am using it in app store!!
    Face Time is working but if I trun it off from the settings and then try to turn it on again i get the same iMessage problem. I restore my iPad and the Face Time works automatically while the iMessage requires me to sign in and then I am stuck

    I had a similar issue but mine said cannot verify username and password as it was aparently incorrect!
    To resolve this i went to generals: App store and clicked on my apple id. when a pop up shows click on view Applie id account. There select the payment process and select NONE in the type of card instead of your visa or mastercard. save it and then you can try getting into facetime., It should be good. It worked for me. Good luck. Lemme know how it goes

  • HT201210 my iphone says activation error and i tryed restore and nothin really works what should i do?

    my iphone says activation error and i tryed restore and nothin really works what should i do?

    Did you just update the phone when this happened? Was the phone jailbroken or hacked to unlock it before it was updated?
    BTW, you cannot have iOS 6.1.4 on an iPhone 4; that version is only for the iPhone 5. Could this be your problem?

    This also applies for my FaceTime, any help would be so greatful.

    wifi is fine, apple servers r to busy to effectively use facetime and imessages right now is all. and activation error is due to high server traffic as well. keep trying or wait, thats it

  • IPhone 5 Activation Error

    Hi
    My wife's iphone 5 shows an activation error that this device is not registered as a part of the iPhone developer program please register at developer program portal. Interesingly she is not developer but my son got a password from a friend (who is a developer) to download iOS7 beta version (how cool) which he downloaded on his phone and moms phone but forgot to download latest iOS7 version on my wife's  phone. Any solution.
    Thanks

    You are getting the error because you have a beta version of iOS 7 that expired yesterday. We've had hundreds of posts about this over the past 18 hours. If you are a developer, and thus have a legitimate copy of iOS 7 beta, go to the Developer's forum, where there are detailed instructions on how to resolve this. Or have your son's developer friend do it.
    It's likely that you have an illegal pirated copy of iOS 7, unless you were actively helping the developer test software; you are on your own, because we are not permitted to support stolen software in this Apple-hosted forum. There are solutions, but you will have to find them elsewhere. Start with "DFU mode"

  • HT4623 Why does my iphone say "Activation Error" during the updating process?

    after updating my iphone, the process is like asking the language, then the country, and then the wifi right? after i connected to the wifi, i pressed "next" then it says "Activating your Iphone" then suddenly it says "Activation Error". what does this mean? can i just restore the previous version of this iphone again?

    You cannot install the previous version. "Activaton error" usually means that the phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it from the carrier it was locked to. It is now locked again to that carrier.

  • Imessage activation error occured during activation try again.

Still it doesnt work for me. Until I read the link http://imbyter.com/2012/01/cannot-activate-imessage/ and changed my Date & Time to automatic, then magic occured

  • IPhone 3Gs Activation error (original owner)

    I have an iPhone 3gs and my Grandmother (who was the original owner) took it to ATT and had them unlock it so I could use it with a different company but as we were leaving the store the ATT guy said he forgot to finish unlocking it but it was simple to do so he'd send us an email with instructions. I activated it and used it on straight talk for a few months till I realized it wouldnt send picture messages so I decided to pull up the email and finish activavating it so the email told me to take my sim card out, back up the phone then factory reset it to compleate the unlock but now that I try to start it back up it says activation error, activation request could not be completed. I have my sim card in it that I've used with this phone for a few months and still nothing. I live 8 hours away from where the ATT store is we had it unlocked so I cant go back there, and I only have this phone so I cant make any calls to anyone for help so WHAT DO I DO?!

    Same problem! it is a problem with the apple server at the moment,we just have to wait and keep trying.Too bad it is not covered by warranty anymore.

  • Wi-Fi packet loss + iMessage 'activation' error

    Hello
    I have two problems:
    - Still having WiFi problems after updating to 10.10.3. This is REALLY annoying... When will there be a fix for this core problem?? Everyone is talking about this. When I do a ping to 8.8.8.8, I get a lot of packet loss (around 50%). Most of the time it's in blocks (5 minutes down / 2 minutes up). I tried everything: rebooting router, rebooting computer, adding/removing WiFi in Network preferences, added different DNS, added manual IP,... Other Mac's in the network do not have this problem... It's the operating system.
    - I recently changed the password of my Apple ID, now I cannot login to iMessage anymore. 'Cannot Sign In to iMessage'; 'An error occurred during activation. Try again.'. I found a fix via Google, people advice to use Chameleon... But I'd like to rely on official support. This issue is around since Mavericks ...
    C'mon Apple... Go back to the philosophy of Jobs' dad: “He loved doing things right. He even cared about the look of the parts you couldn’t see.”. Start fixing this annoying issues for the community!

    If your Mac supports Handoff try to disable it and check if there is any progress: System Preferences > General > and disable option Allow Handoff between this Mac and your iCloud devices.
    Also, go to System Preferences > Network and remove Bluetooth PAN/DUN if you have these options on the list of your Network Services.
    After above steps, reboot your Mac and test it again.

    Try this steps first: If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime - Apple Support
    If above won't work for you, then i would suggest to create a separate thread for this issue. Otherwise this one will only get messy and soon no one will even look at your thread.

    Try the troubleshooting on this page : iOS: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting to a Windows PC

  • HT4993 Why does my iphone say activation error

    Why does my iphone say activation error

    Because you are running an unauthorized version of the beat software for iOS 7. Or you are a legitimate developer and there is an issue with your last update. You will need to go to the developers section to fix it if that is the case.
    If you are not a developer contact the developer who got the beta for you.

    Is anyone else having issues with their imessaging?  I continue to try different ways but it keeps saying, An error occurred when activating. Activation unsuccessful.  Turn on iMesseage and try again.
