My iMessage slide button is enabled, how do I fix that?

I understand the concept of iMessage. However, it sends messages
from my email to a handful of my contacts. I want to either turn off iMessage
or change my Send & Receive email to my phone number. When i go to
Settings>Messages the iMessage slide button is dull and won't allow me to slide it
to Off. I then tried changing the Send & Receive but it too is dull and won't allow me to
change it. Nothing takes places when I try to use both of these features.
iMessages currently says On, it also says "Activation Unsuccessful, Turn on iMessage and try again"
Is there anyway I can manage my iMessages through my computer?
Or is my last resort to go into the crowded Apple Store?  
Thank you in Advance!
Ps- it's the same with my FaceTime. I go to manage it and its a dull color
and I can't manage it.

  • My icloud has stopped sending my imessages to my devices.  how do i fix this?

    hello everyone,
    my iCloud has stopped sending my iMessages to my devices.  How can I fix this?

    I don't know how much help this will be, but this is Apple's troubleshooting FaceTime support website.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3367
    The one thing in the article that you might want to check first is that the date and time are correct in Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>On.
    The next thing that I would try is, turn off FaceTime in the settings, reboot your iPad and then turn FaceTime on again.
    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.

  • I just bought an android phone and the previous owner of the number had an iphone and imessage wont work, how do I fix that?

    I just bought an android phone and the previous owner of the number had an iphone and imessage wont work, how do I fix that?
    I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S4, and my wife has an iphone. We found out that imessage wont come through from her. After we went to the AT&T helpdesk they said that she could turn off imessage on her phone and that I would get texts on my S4. But then so would everyone else who has an iphone. That  won't work for everyone in my company that has an iphone. So what I am wondering is- since I recently got this phone, should I get a new number? Or should I contact ATT or contact Apple to try and get this number de-activated? I'm thinking I'll never get into the icloud account that this number is attached to, but maybe someone has some advice on that?
    I just sincerely want imessage to work on this phone and I'm willing to take the steps to do that.
    Please help

    Either one of the two should work - getting new number from carrier or contacting Apple to revoke phone number from imessage system.
    That is if your problem is described correctly.

  • I've been using my cell phone number to imessage from my ipad for a while now, but yesterday I got signed out of I message and when I signed back in, I didn't get the option to use my number, only my email adress. How can I fix that?

    Hey bill.rizzo2,
    Thanks for the question. I understand your phone number is missing on your iPad as an option for iMessage. The following article provides steps to resolve this issue:
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
    Phone number missing on iPad or iPod touch
    If your phone number isn't listed on an iPod touch or iPad, follow these steps:
    1. Update to the latest version of iOS.
    2. Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you're using on your iPhone.
    3. On your iPad or iPod touch, sign out of your Apple ID in the following locations:
        - Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
        - Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    4. Sign in to your Apple ID with FaceTime and iMessage.
    If your phone number still isn't listed, follow these steps:
    1. Sign out of your Apple ID on all iOS devices, including your iPhone, in the following locations:
        - Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
        - Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    2. Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
    3. When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Receive At and Settings > FaceTime.
    4. Sign in to your Apple ID on your other iOS devices.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

    You will need to Restore it as a New Device...
    Restore...
    1: Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
    3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the steps in this article to force the device into recovery mode.

  • HT4528 hi, my iPhone is already completely updated and I want my iMessages to go to my phone number, however my phone number shows up on the settings screen for that, but will not let me select it to be used. How do I fix that?

    hi, my iPhone is already completely updated and I want my iMessages to go to my phone number, however my phone number shows up on the settings screen for that, but will not let me select it to be used. How do I fix that?

    Thanks to all who responded. You are all absolutely correct. However, this Ipad was a gift to my wife who was dying of cancer in the hospital and wanted some entertainment. So I started it out with her Apple ID. After she passed away I moved from Sacramento to Austin and eventually proceeded to get the Apple ID changed from my wife's to mine. Meanwhile when she was in the hospital I opened an Itunes account in my name to buy movies for her. That was the first mistake.
    Then during the move to Austin I lost track of the IPAD and later found it and tried to use support but could not remember the proper ID. Later the folks at the Apple store helped me create a new and novel Apple ID that was unfortunately unlike any other.
    The botom line is that I am stuck with three Apple IDs and three passwords. I am told by Apple there is nothing they can do about this as IDs cannot be changed or destroyed. I can quit using them or start a new account but when I try to do that the system keeps remembering too many things from the past and resists.
    Even if I sold this Ipad and bought a new one, the system memory is still there.
    I think the real problem is that destop and laptop computers are totally owned by an individual and that individual can control logins and passwords to his liking. IPADs and similar Apple products are different in that the corporation has built in their own intrusion detection schemes because of the relation to Itunes.
    One thing I thought about is to open a new Itunes account pretendding to be a new customer with my regular Apple ID. Perhaps I could do the same with Apple Support.
    Thanks for your comments.

  • My apps won't update or install. I would push the update/install button, and it wouldn't do anything. How do I fix that?

    My apps won't update or install. I would push the update/install button, and it wouldn't do anything. How do I fix that?

    I would do a restore using iTunes.  This will re-install the latest iOS 6 with factory settings, then you'll have to re-enter your settings and re-install your apps.  But everything should work after that.

  • It seems that there is an inaccuracy in flash games.  It is very difficult to hit the button especially if the button is small. How can I fix that problem ?

    It seems that there is an inaccuracy in flash games.
    it is very difficult to hit the button especially if the button is small.
    E.g. in Battle Pirate, it is difficult to switch screenview( zoom out - zoom in )
    Seen in many games, so I assume it has something to do with the flash player.
    Been looking in settings, but can't find  anything concerning mouse settings.
    How can I fix that problem ?

    You will just have to use other apps for Arabic.  You can ask Apple to fix this via

    I think Apple's iBookstore does not yet really support Arabic books.

    when I send an iMessage to other's who have iMessage my e-mail adress pop's up instead of my name when they recieve my text.. How can I fix that?

    They would have to have your name in their contacts and then assign your email address to your contact. It's similar to receiving a regular text message from a phone number you do not have saved in your contacts; their phone number will show up instead of their name, but once you add them to your contacts their name will show up.

    If you have a 1G iPod or iOS 3.x that seems to be a problem that Apple created when they updated their website. No know solution yet except to download on your computer and sync.

    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.
