My iMessage won't work on my iPhone 4.

My iMessage won't work on my iPhone 4. It used to but I had a new screen and a new apple ID created so I don't know which is causing the issue. I tried turning off auto time and back on and still won't work. It say check connection. Same with happens when I try activate FaceTime???

I am also getting the message to connect to iTunes to use notifications even though I have notifications turned off for the app???

My iMessages won't work on my iPhone 5. Any help would be appreciated.

As the title says, my imessages just wont work on my iphone 5. I have tried everything from a dfu restore, to turning imessages on and off, resetting network settings, turning off sending as sms, etc. etc. If I put my sim card into a friends iPhone 5, my iMessages activate and work right away.
Every message I send seems to send as a text.
iMessages in settings is activated and looks like its working but will only send as a sms. I cant receive iMessages either.
My iphone is out of warranty and Im all out of options. If this is a software problem, can I get a replacement iphone through apple as this is obviously not a hardware issue?
Thanks. Any help would be much appreciated.

I have restored as a new phone and it still doesnt work.
As for creating a new Apple ID, Ive tried that and it doesnt work. It still defaults to my number and it wont allow to send an imessage as it reverts to SMS when I type in a contact in the messages app.
I tried starting new conversations from the Apple ID as well but didnt have any luck.
I believe its something that isnt getting wiped out through the restore process.
I wish I could escalate my issue to someone who could look at the underlying code and see whats wrong with the phone

Imessage won't work/activate after 5.1

I updated to 5.1 this morning, and now my imessage won't work. I try to turn it on, and I just get an activation error. "An error occurred during activation, try again".I've read in some other posts that my phone number should show by the imessage option? I don't see it anywhere. Once I get the activation error, then it provides me with the option to sign in using my appleID, but it when I do, it just keeps on reverting back to the sign in screen and won't connect. I've read through this forum and tried everything that I found - checked the date/time settings, checked my phone number, reset the networks, hard reset - and still it won't activate. What do I do?

Mine didn't work for 2 months and this fixed it, so I posted it in another discussion and have been getting "thank you" replies nearly daily:
Just update your date/time settings:
Settings
> General
>> Date & Time
>>> Set Automatically: Slide "ON"...If it's already on, then slide it off, chill for a bit (maybe restart it), then slide it back on.
I am using an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1, but other users with 3GS, 4S, and even iTouch devices replied that it worked.

IMessage won't work with 1 contact. (iOS7)

iPhone 4s with iOS7
iMessage won't work with only 1 specific contact.
Prior to updating i was able to iMessage with the contact in question without issue.
Both of us updated to iOS7 yesterday, since then messages between us are Text Messages only. We screwed around with everything. We discovered if i send to his email address (checkmarked with iMessage) it works. ALSO...after searching and trying different things, he can send me iMessages from his number, but when i respond it switches SMSs . FaceTime also works.
It works with all my other contacts without issues.
We both tried the following.
- deleting eahcother as contacts,
- resets (many)
- turned off iMessage (reset network settings)
- logging in and out of appleID in several locations
- removed checkmarks from emails/phone number
- on WiFi, on 3G
- phone restore
Start new conversation: only my phone # is checkmarked. receinve, I have 3 emails and phone number
any ideas?

HT5538 I changed my apple ID and now iMessages won't work

I recently changed my Apple ID and now iMessages won't work on my Mac. It will still work on my iPhone and iPad, but they will not communicate with my Mac. None of the messages I try to send from my Mac will go through.

HI,
This is a step up from the previous suggestion.
Make the Finder the "front" app.
Use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
Select the Library that appears in the Menu list.
Navigate to Preferences.
Find com.apple.imservice.imesssages.plist and drag it to the Trash.
Restart the app.
You will most likely have to re-enter the Apple ID
If that does not work delete the com.apple.imessages.bag.plist (this one holds the server it should be trying rather).
Again Restart the app.

I updated my iPod to the ios6 Software and ever since I rebooted iMessage won't work. How do I fix this?

It won't work. It was working at first when I updated but then after like 2 hours it wouldn't work. I rebooted it and THEN it wouldn't work. I would sign in to set it up, pick an email I wanted to use, but then it would take me back to the sign in screen with no explination. I'm getting really annoyed. I NEEED IMESSAGE. HELP

IMessage won't work and no notifications at all for any messages please help

iMessage won't work I know there is a problem but now I'm not getting any text notifications please help! Won't even vibrate

If you are having trouble with SMS messages, then you would need to address that with your carrier, unless you are receiving them and just not get a notification. If you have followed the steps I gave you for iMessage and you are not receiving notifications, then check the settings for Notification Center. If you have Messages set to show on the lock screen and play a sound, and display a banner, etc. then your next step is a restore. First restore from a backup, and if that doesn't work, then restore as a new device. Restoring the phone will result in the loss of all data. Make sure you have backed up the phone, synced all content and imported photos to the computer.

I have a new iPod and soon as I turned it on, it wanted me to upgrade it to the new IOS 6.0.1. Ever since then, my imessages won't work. I've reset it and everything and it still doesn't. So why won't it work?
