TS4268 iMessage and FaceTime are saying check the network connection and try again.

iMessage and Facetime started saying check the network connection and try again two days ago.

This same issue occurred with my IPhone 4S after updating to most recent iOS last week.
I tried http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4268 - this unfortunately did not help.
Suggestions?

TS4268 iMessage Activation error

My iPad battery accidently went flat. On restarting I get a iMessage Activation error, rejecting the CORRECT name and password. I have signed out of iTunes and tried again with the same result. How do you reset iMessage activation?

Try this - 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

TS4268 iMessage on ipad wont use phone number

When I configure the iPad to use my apple ID for FaceTime and iMessage (per tech doc), it does not pull in my phone number...just email address. So I don't get iMessages on my iPad when people send to my phone number. Works on my iphone but not ipad. How do I resolve this??

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4268
After being activated, iMessage can be exchanged when connected to the internet via an available wi-fi connection but you won't be able to exchange iMessage via your carrier's cellular data or internet network with no data access.

TS4268 IMessaging on iPad mini to "iPod registered to email address" user

I have an android phone and a Macbook air running 10.7.5. I recently bought an iPad Mini and am trying to use iMessage on it. So far noone with an iphone has responded to any messages I have sent! so I am wondering if it is working….
I have 2 Apple ID"s - one for itunes and one for icloud (but I don't use icloud). My Apple ID for the ipad mini is linked to a non-icloud email address and my android cell #. When I go to the "receive at" option for messages on the iPad there is only one option - my Apple ID email address. I realise I can't use my cell# to receive iMessages as it is not an iphone, but why is there no field to enter a phone number (if I did have an iphone) showing up?
I want to iMessage from the iPad mini with someone who uses Ipod for iMessaging, but even though I use their registered-to-iMessage email address, when I enter it into the "To:" field, it turns red, and I get a message that their email "is not registered with iMessage". I know they are already using it to iMessage other people so what am I doing wrong???

Do you have another Apple ID? If so and if that is the email address that you are trying to add, it is not going to work.

TS4268 Imessage and Facetime arent connecting

I just got my iphone replaced yesterday and now my phone wont let me conncet to facetime or imessage. Ive tried resetting my phone, loging on and off, and channging my apple ID. It keeps saying "an error occurred during activation. try again." or "could not sign in, please check your internet connection and try again." thanks!

TS4268 iMessaging NOT working. Please help

Updated my 4s and now I can't get my iMessaging or FaceTime to work. I keep getting an error reading, "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again." My connection is fine... I think. I don't seem to have trouble connecting to the internet or other internet based apps. Suggestions???

Try resetting it:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Next try restoring via itunes.

TS4268 imessaging does not go to my second phone

My imessaging suddenly stopped working when I try to send message to my second iphone 5. It works with everyone else. It also is connecting to an old contact list rather than updated one. How can I delete old contact list. It pops up when I try to send message, but I can't pull it up otherwise.

It seems that, since "...when my bIphone is open it comes in...", your HKG Online nr. and call forwarding arrangements to your mobile phone in Netherlands is working fine.
As "...when the phone is simply in my pocket but ready and active to receive incoming calls it does not work", the source of problem would have been in your mobile phone.
Do you find any specific issue in the manual of your mobile phone concerning to this ?

TS4268 imessage won't activate???

I turned my imessag off a month ago while playing around - and have never got it to activate since.
I turn it on - sometimes it will pop up with "Use your Apple ID for iMesage" and sometimes it'll go straight to "Waiting for activation".
I have noticed that even when its saying "Waiting for activation" I can go to "Send and receive" and it'll have my ID at the top (logged in) but where it says "You can be reached by imessage at" it will have a tick by my email address, but my phone number is grey (cant select it).
Below that it doesn't have "Display as from" (cant rememer what it says exactly) but where you select what number or email address your imessage is being sent from.
Driving me nuts, have tried everything on the tips/tricks page. HELP!!!!!!!!!

Read through the support document that you linked to the forum from. It says that if you follow all of the steps and it still will not activate after 24 hours, to contact Apple support.

TS4268 Imessage and FaceTime enabling

Hope this is some what related, but does iMessage need to be turned on/enabled for FaceTime calls? I know you need an account, just wanna know if it needs to be set to On in the settings menu. Thank you!

You do not need to turn on imessage for face time calls.You will need to have an apple id to use imessage and face time.You must be connected to wifi.
Thank you

Anyway, I've just changed my cell number, but I've been using iMessage well until now that I've log out. And when I'm trying to on my iMessage, it kept prompting me for pwd with my OLD email add.
I cant seems to find a way to edit my email add anywhere?
Pls help.
