    The iMessage on my iPad Mini quit working, although it still works on my iPhone.  When I look at my settings in messages, my phone number isn't there and it will not allow me any way to enter my phone number.  How can I get my iMessage to work again?

  • TS4268 my imessage just says waiting for activation helppp:(

    my imessage just says waiting for activation helppp:(

    I have a solution to all of you who faced this problem of waiting for activations for both FaceTime and iMessage.
    Here's how I did mine;
    For "FaceTime"
    1) Launch "Settings" app
    2) Select "FaceTime"
    3) Select "Apple ID: (your ID)"
    4) Select "Change Location" (to where "Country" your phone number is registered)
    5) Select the "Country" you are in
    6) Back to "Settings"
    Do the same for "iMessage"
    1) Launch "Settings" app
    2) Select "Messages"
    3) Select "Receive At"
    4) Select "Apple ID: (your ID)"
    5) Select "Change Location" (to where "Country" your phone number is registered)
    6) Select the "Country" you are in
    7) Exit
    After you've done all the settings as aboves; Now hold down the "Home" and "Power" button until you see the "Apple" logo to reboot your iPhone. Let go you fingers after seeing the "Apple" logo appears.
    Go back to the "Settings" app.
    For "Facetime"
    1) Select "FaceTime"
    2) You'll notice your "FaceTime" has been activated
    3) Go to the bottom and Select "Caller ID"
    4) You should have your "Phone Number" selected
    5) Back to "Settings"
    For "iMessage"
    1) Select "Messages"
    2) You'll notice your "iMessage" has been activated
    3) Select "Receive At" (now you'll see "2 Addresses >)
    4) Go to the bottom and Select "Caller ID"
    5) You should have your "Phone Number" selected
    6) Exit and enjoy your iOS5
    Hope that helps. Cheers!

  • Imessage working fine, tried to add email as well as number then it stopped! Now just says waiting for activation!

    I tried to add an email address to imessage as well as my number so my friend could email me from their ipad.
    Firstly it said there was a problem with my apple ID password so i reset that (new password works fine, i have been able to download apps etc since!)
    Now under iMessage it just says waiting for activation.. and it is only here i get the message saying my password is incorrect?!
    I have tried rebooted and restarted phone many times.
    I can no longer send imessages to other iphones, just texts! Its driving me mad!
    why will it not recognise my password?! i even tried adding an extra email account and verified that with the password - worked fine!
    HELPPPPPPP

  • How can I get my iMessage to work after iOS7.0.3 update ?

    I had the iMessage bug for iOS7 update for over a month now & was happy to hear that the new update would fix this but to find out it still doesn't work !!! What can I do to fix this ? it doesn't allow me to send or receive photo msges. I've also waited a hour for it to activate since it says "waiting for activation"

    Hi there,
    I updated to 7.0.3 and the promised iMessage Fix seems not solving the problem. So i just tried the following steps (like before 7.0.3) disable iMessages, reset the network settings, start iMessages but still not working.
    Thats *****, sometimes i recieve the messages correctly, sometimes 15min later or as through by chance when opening iMessages.
    Is it sure that a complete reset will fix the problem?

    What tips have you tried so far?   Just so we don't waste our time telling you things you've already done.
