My iPod touch4 won't let me use or even go on my iMessage!

I can't get my iMessage to work. Every time I try and use iMessage, it tries to get to my messages but then it cancels out and goes back to my home screen. It is annoying me... A lot! How would I fix that??

  • I have an iPhone 5 and updated it to iOS7 but now I can't use iMessage or FaceTime as it says "waiting for activation" and won't let me use my phone number to do iMessage or FaceTime either

    I have an iPhone 5 and updated it to iOS7 last night but now I can't use iMessage or FaceTime as it says "waiting for activation" As well as that, it won't let me use my phone number to do iMessage or FaceTime it will only let me use my apple ID which I don't want to do.

  • Ipod 5 won't let me use network.

    Hello Apple community!
    I need your help as soon as possible! I have this problem with my Ipod touch 5th gen, it turns out that it won't allow me to join a wi-fi network that we have in my school. The network shows up on where it says "Choose a network". But when I tap it and then put the password in it doesn't let me join! It also seems to just "load" but never show up on the upper left corner where a normal network would show up. The weird thing is that I use the wi-fi at my home and other places just fine. My friend has another ipod touch 5 and it works for her just perfeclty!
    Please help :c

  • I don't know my security questions and don't know what to do it won't let me use iTunes even though I know my password what do I do?

    I don't know my security questions what do I do?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • Help! My iPod touch won't let me download any apps. A message keeps coming up saying "This Apple ID cannot be used for the iTunes store. Please enter another Apple ID" I changed my ID to see if that would work but the same message still comes up.

    Where are you physically located?
    What country's Store are you using?
    The two have to be the same and the payment method for your account also has to be associated (billing address, where iTunes gift card was purchased) with that country.
    Has the ID(s) worked before for purchases for this country's store?

  • I have a iPhone but it won't let me use AirPlay. So I got this app ihome it says to put a sink iPod wire but there is no iPod sink wire

    Hi, not sure what you are asking about. Do you have speakers that use AirPlay and you can't connect your iPhone via AirPlay? That is most likely an issue with your wireless router. Sometimes it helps to switch the router off and on and let all devices connect again.
    If the app asks for a sync cable (not sink I suppose) it means the white USB cable that came with you iPhone and syncs via iTunes.

  • HT4759 I just updated my iPad to the new ios and now it won't let me use iCloud. I have been in my settings and it says I need to agree to the new t&c's but when I click to do it my device freezes. Any Idea what I can do as I can't download new app either

    Sorry. There's nothing anyone can do. The current version of the facebook app will not run on 4.2.1. The iPhone 3G won't run anything higher than 4.2.1. You're stuck.
    Maybe it's time to buy yourself a new iPod Touch.

  • HELP?! My iPod touch won't let me type anything!

    I just got my ipod touch and finished setting it up and putting all my music on it. I was trying to get on the internet but I have to put in a password for my internet connection. Whenever the keyboard comes up on my iPod it won't let me type anything. It just pops up for a minute and then dissapears! *What's going on??* Can anyone help!

  • My iPhone 5 won't let me use my apps until I connect them with iTunes after downloading ios7. Solutions?

    My iPhone 5 won't let me use my apps until I connect them with iTunes after downloading ios7.  There's just a thing that pops up and says that in order to activate banners and push notifications I have to connect the app with iTunes. The thing won't go away no matter how many times I push ok, and it doesn't give me another option. Solutions?

    Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
    First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
    Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
    When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
    I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

  • My iPod touch won't let me download any apps. .

    My iPod touch won't let me download any apps. Any time I try it sends me to a billing screen. I enter my information and it wnt accept it. Been doing it for over a month. Even with free apps. Very frustrating please help

    It appears that there is something incorrect with your billing information. You need to correct it.  For a standard account you need a valid payment method even for free apps.  You can however create a new account that is only good for apps by:
    Create an iTunes App Store account without a credit card

  • When I use migration assistant it won't let me use my account name that I'm signed in with.  It requires me to select a different user name and then creates a separate account where my files live.  Why can't I select the user name and account name I have?

    I'm trying to migrate my music and pictures over to my new iMac.  When I use the migration assistant it connects to my PC fine but it won't let me use the account name and username that I have created as the admin.  It requires me to create a new user account - so then I have two separate accounts to log in to which i don't want.  How do I get it to let me use the current account that I have to move my files to?
    Thanks!

    Migration Assistant creates a new account and migrates all the information you have requested to that new account. There is no way around that. However once migrated you can move the data to the account you want to. Here are some instructions for doing so:
    Transferring files from one User Account to another.

  • My brand new ipod touch won't let me download apps.

    My brand new ipod touch won't let me download apps.  I put in my password and then get a screen that says "Download Now".  I can't press the okay button to start the download.  What should I do?  All of the other buttons on the screen work, so I don't think it is broken.

    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.

  • I just got my iPad and the iMessage was working and than all of a sudden it stopped and when I tired to log back in, it said I had a bad connection which I didn't. So it won't let me use my iMessage

    Check Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure that the time zone setting is also set correctly.
    If that didn't solve the problem, restart your iPad and try again. If that fails, reset your iPad and try again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
