SSince update 8.1.2---iMessage activation will not occur. Says "an error occurred during activation.  Try again

The update to iOS 8.1.3 was supposed to fix that issue, not cause the problem. Unfortunately, it didn't work for many. take a look at one of these two ongoing discussions. You might be able ro find help in one of them.

  • TS4268 I can't sign into iMessages. My apple ID works absolutely fine for FaceTime App store etc, but keeps telling me "An error occurred ant to try again" when I try to sign in to iMessages. Very frustrating

    I can't sign into iMessages. My apple ID works absolutely fine for FaceTime App store etc, but keeps telling me "An error occurred ant to try again" when I try to sign in to iMessages. Very frustrating. I've double checked all the settings but still can't sign in. Any sugestions?

    Try this - sign out of your Apple ID and reboot the iPad, then try all over again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out.
    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 - let go of the buttons.
    After the iPad starts up, go back to the settings for Messages and FaceTime and your Apple ID, and sign into all three again.
    Sign into Settings>Store first

  • HT5395 Could not sign in to iMessage. An error occurred during activation. Try again.

    I haven't been able to use Messages on the computer for several months. My Apple id works for Facetime, iTunes and iCloud on all my devices. iMessages works on my iPhone 4S. I just can't use in onmy computer. It used to work. Somewhere after an update of Mt Lion, it stopped. I'm on Mavericks now.

    Hi,
    At the OS X 10.8.2 update the iMessages account in Messages needs your Serial Number to be on the logic/mother board.
    If this has ever been replaced and the number not "flashed" to the new board then iMessages will not connect to the server.
    Use the Apple Icon Menu and About this Mac.
    In that window click twice on the line that states the current OS level
    This will change to the build number (another way Apple counts the OS version) and then to the Serial Number.
    If it is messing you will need to visit an Apple Store or an Apple Authorise Service Provider (AASP) and have the Serial Number installed.

  • IPad+iMessage 'error occured during activation'

    hi there.
    i'm trying to connect my ipad to my imessage account which i have on my iphone.
    I've researched the problem and i have updated onto the latest iOS 7 update, reset network setting back to factory, put time to auto (everything short of wiping my ipad completely which im reluctant to do)
    can anyone help me as my iphone tends to run out of battery mid conversation and obviously that's inconvenient
    thank you!!! 

    I assume that you saw this troubleshooting article, but did you see that you should toggle the settings on and off for Messages after each attempt?
    If you see "Waiting for Activation", "Activation unsuccessful", or "An error occurred during activation"
    These messages occur when your iPhone is trying to activate your phone number with iMessage or FaceTime.
    To resolve these status messages, follow these steps. After each step, turn FaceTime and iMessage off and on again in Settings > Messages and Settings > FaceTime.
    Update to the latest version of iOS.
    Make sure that you have a cellular network connection with your cellular provider. You need a cellular network connection to activate iMessage and FaceTime with your iPhone phone number.
    Go to www.apple.com in Safari to make sure that you have a data connection. You need a data connection to activate iMessage and FaceTime with your iPhone phone number.
    Make sure that you can send and receive SMS. You need a valid SMS messaging plan to activate FaceTime and iMessage.
    Make sure that FaceTime hasn't been restricted: tap Settings > General > Restrictions > FaceTime.
    Set iPhone to the correct time zone: tap Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: If Set Automatically is on but the incorrect time zone appears, turn Set Automatically off and choose the correct time zone, date, and time.
    Contact your carrier to verify that there are no restrictions, blocks, or filters on text messages. Restrictions, blocks, or filters on text messaging will prevent iMessage and FaceTime registration from completing.
    If "Waiting for Activation" still appears after you perform these steps, turn FaceTime and iMessage off and on in Settings > Messages and Settings > FaceTime. You may need to wait up to 24 hours to complete activation. Most attempts will take less than an hour, but some attempts may take up to 24 hours. If your issue isn't resolved after 24 hours, please contact Apple for assistance. If you've recently performed a remote wipe on your iPhone, wait 24 hours from the time you performed the remote wipe, and then turn iMessage off then back on.You can still activate iMessage and FaceTime with your Apple ID when these status messages appear. You can see that you've activated FaceTime and iMessage with your Apple ID by tapping:
    Settings > FaceTime > You can be reached by FaceTime at:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You can be reached by iMessage at:

    You can try here:

    However, I suspect an Apple server problem. Many users have been reporting problems with Messages and Facetime today.
