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

Thanks for the suggestion, Chris. I actually did not resolve the issue which is why i did not post an answer.
it turns out that my iphone seems to default to an incorrect User ID (it defaults to an @me account, which is not something that i have ever used).
even when i change the User ID in my settings for the iTunes store, it still appears when i attempt to get updates for my existing apps. however, it does seem to use the correct ID when i attempt to purchase new apps.
If someone actually had an answer to correct this, i would love to update my existing apps.
Thank you.

I have an iPhone 4, and I'm able to save photos that have been emailed to me on the iPhone. However, I cannot figure out how to save a video attachment that has been emailed to me on the iPhone. Any help would be appreciated.

I have an iPhone 4 and I can save photos (to my camera roll) that have been emailed to me on the iPhone. However, I've been unable to figure out how to save video attachments that have been sent to me on the iPhone. Any help would be appreciated.

Apparently not. I have both an iPhone 4 and an iPad thatbive upgraded to iOS 5.0.1. While it is reported that if you click on the attached video file and hold that you will be presented a "Save Video" option, all I see is "Quick Look". Thinking it might have been GoodReader, I unknow installed GoodReader but still no option. I wonder if this yet another feature in iOS 5 that doesn't work on upgrades

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???

HT201398 FaceTime & Messages now won't open on my iPad. Now no toggle switch in settings. Log in with my Apple ID sends activation error message 'try again'. Both Apps work on my iPhone & Mac.Any help?

Adjusting the date or time didn't do anything for me either. I'm guessing my two options are to either do the full restore from scratch and not apply any backup ... Or possibly wait for an iOS update that might resolve this issue.
I'm not that much of an avid twitter user that I need it implemented natively in all my devices - so for now I'll probably value all my game save data, internal settings in apps e.t.c. over that functionality (or over the amount of work it would be to get me back to where I am now after a full wipe). I'll see what happens after the next iOS delta update. I'll reevaluate the full wipe after that if the issue hasn't been resolved

I am new to iphones and went to Itunes and it said my new iphone needed a software update. Now the apps that I put on wont work and when pressed just flash on then off the screen. I paid £20 for one of them so any help would be appreciated.

The 30-pin connector on the iPhone 4 dock might not have all the connector pins to do video.
I'm 99% sure the Universal Dock does have the pins (and therefor supports video out).

You copy it from one computer to the other.
Type "move itunes library" into the google search bar.
You have posted in the iphone forum.

I'm using imovie 10.0.3 with OS x Version 10.9.2. or some reason I can't double click on iphoto events to siadplay the pictures within that event. I've rebuilt my iphoto library, but nothing seems to work. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello All,
Also no answer but am having the same problem. All my catalogueing via folders is up in smoke and no external HDs (where I would normally directly store raw footage when importing) showing up on the iMovie interface. It is a pain the arse to go back to the earlier version - why APPLE, pray tell, do you continue to lower expectations user-friendly functions. Shall try the option+open for a library but this too is extremely inconvenient if it works like iPhoto because you have to log out to log in to a new library whereas I just want to be able to see my multiple HDs directly from the iMovie menu and then the folders within folders I have layered in there - to make it easy to FIND STUFF. Wake up Apple, you are NOT meeting your customer's needs or desires.
Thanks to the posters who are helping the rest of us lost in the dark with possible solutions - free fix-its for Apple which they don't deserve.

I am unable to set up my iCloud as won't let me accept terms and conditions, then says unable to connect to server. Any help would be appreciated :)

Please can someone help, I am just trying to set up iCloud on my iPad. When I click on accept terms and conditions it says unable to connect to server? I have googled how to do this, forums suggest to open a find friends app, then try to reconnect. It still doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Check this. Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure that the time zone setting is correct as well.

You would need to have burned the disc using iDVD or a third-party application such as Toast. Is that what you did?

Hello,
Are they just regular size eMails?
Do you have more than one eMail account setup?
Next time it happens, get...
Find Any File...
http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/
Hold Option or alt key when selecting Find to Find All.
Use it to Find All, for Name ends in...
.emlx
(dot ee em el ex)
And Modification Date, is within, the last 5 minutes or whatever.
