How do I fix phone.  I'm getting waiting for activation error.  When I try to sign in under imessage or facetime, I get a check network connection error.  My connection is great because i'm using my wife's phone which upgraded with no problem.  Please help someone??

wifi is fine, apple servers r to busy to effectively use facetime and imessages right now is all. and activation error is due to high server traffic as well. keep trying or wait, thats it

    Hi. I have set up the trial versions of Photoshop CC 2014 and Lightroom 5.6 (ie the Photography plan) on a desktop that I have added a new drive to with Windows 7. Everything works fine BUT it is an old computer and I'm thinking that it may pack up unexpectedly. These things happen. I want to sign up for the Photography plan but I also have a Windows Vista laptop, and that is old too so I may want to put the apps on a new desktop and a new laptop, having already installed on my desktop. That makes three activations. Am I allowed to do this? Cheers. Paul

    You cannot have three activations. It's simply not technically possible. If and when the time comes, you simply deactivate/ sign out on one of the old systems and install on the new one. If the system goes belly up, you contact support to reset your account. No need to make it more complicated than that and overthink it.

  • My iMessaging says "waiting for activation..." what does that mean?, My iMessaging says "waiting for activation..." what does that mean?

    I don't know what this means when it says that. How do I get my messaging back?

    Hello Hiineedhelp,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like the Messages app is stuck in actiavtion. Take a look at these steps from this article:
    iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4268
    Troubleshooting Apple ID activation
    After each step, toggle iMessage and FaceTime off and then on again in Settings > Messages and Settings > FaceTime.
    Update to the latest version of iOS.
    Ensure that you have an active Internet connection. You can complete activation using Wi-Fi or a cellular data connection. Check your Wi-Fi network using standard Wi-Fi network troubleshooting.
    If you receive an error when signing in to your Apple ID, visit myinfo.apple.com, sign in to your account, and ensure that the primary email address has been verified.
    Ensure that FaceTime has not been restricted: Settings > General > Restrictions > FaceTime.
    In Settings > General > Date & Time, ensure that Set Automatically is on. If Set Automatically is on, but the incorrect time zone is displayed, turn Set Automatically off and then choose the correct time zone, date, and time. Then turn Set Automatically on again.
    Enable iMessage and FaceTime while connected to another Wi-Fi network in a different location.
    When enabling FaceTime or iMessage on an iPhone, you may see "Waiting for Activation". This message refers to the activation of your telephone number only. You can use FaceTime and iMessage with your Apple ID even if your phone number has not completed activation.You can see that you've activated FaceTime and iMessage with your Apple ID here:
    Settings > FaceTime > You can be reached by FaceTime at:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You can be reached by iMessage at:
    If that does not get Messages going again, I would try these steps from toward the bottom:
    To sign out of your Apple ID
    Go to Settings > FaceTime, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out.
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • LightSwitch HTML: Don't wait for active promise operations when navigating between screens

    Navigation between screens is halted (and the loader is shown) until any active promise operation has completed.
    This becomes an issue when a screen started a long loading operation, but the user wants to exit out of that screen. It is easy to cancel promise operations that I started myself, since I have control over when the operation completes. But I don't see any
    way to do it for operations started by the framework itself (such as any collection property of a screen).
    Is there any solution to this problem?

    This becomes an issue when a screen started a long loading operation, but the user wants to exit out of that screen.
    There isn't method available to cancel the navigation between screens, you need look into your project, and check why it takes long time to load.

  • IMac Retina 5K - Yosemite 10.10.2 - Update has killed my WiFi! (Before everything worked fine on 10.10.1)

    Hello,
    URGENT HELP NEEDED !
    Imac 2014 Retina 5k with 4ghz Intel Core and 16GB Ram
    Router : Netopia
    Have upgraded this morning my iMac Retina to Yosemite 10.10.2. Before upgrade Wifi worked great, now since upgrade, I lose the wifi connection after a few seconds ! To get it back I have to (a) Reset the router (b) delete the wifi network from Network settings (c) restart my iMac
    I then get the internet back for a period going from 20 seconds to about 5 minutes max!
    In the router log I see on he MAC address of the iMac the computer connect itself, and then I see a message that says "Suspect Connection" and then another for the MAC address of the iMac being "Connection closed".
    No tempory fixes work! I have discussed this with my internet provider (Swisscom) and they have done everything they can do on their side (change router channels etc...) but to no avail. They say this is an Apple issue.
    I am going crazy !
    Any solution is welcome ...
    All the best,

  • IMessage waiting for activation: could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again

    My iphone 5 randomly began restarting regularly. Since when it has been on my iMessage is unavalibale, when I go on the settings it says waiting for activation when I try to activate with my apple id it says 'could not sign in. Please check your network settings an try again' this is also happening with face time how can I fix this?

    Try backing up then restoring your device on iTunes via your computer, a few other with the same issue have done this and it has fixed the problem for them so it might be worth a shot :)

  • Iphone 4 "Waiting For Activation" problem

    I have an iphone 4 and my facetime and imessage are saying "waiting for activation".  I have tried turning off the wi-fi, turning off facetime, turning off caller ID, restarting the phone and then turning everything back on.  Doesn't work! Help!

    I bought this iPhone 4 with iOS 4.2 yesterday from Australia and the first thing I wanted to try was Facetime but it seems like there is a problem. I tried to do everything mentioned in different forums to activate it but the problem is still there. When I turn on Facetime from settings>phone, it says "Waiting for Activation". I'm currently in Nepal using NepalTelecom 3G SIM. Is there a solution from Apple?

    underneath my imessages when i go to settings says " waiting for activation" how do i fix this

    ACTIVATING FACETIME AND IMESSAGES
    Activating Facetime and Imessages on your phone requires the ability to send SMS messages and depending upon where you are that might be an international SMS.  Check with your carrier to see if your plan supports sending of international SMS messages.  If you are having trouble activating Facetime or Imessages turn them both off on your device and reset the device (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost)).  Wait for the device to restart and wait a minute and turn Facetime and imessage back on and wait for activation.  If that does not fix things read the following articles:

  • 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.

    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.
