  • Imessage will not activate on Iphone 5, iOS 6.0.2.

    Imessage will not activate on iphone 5, iOS 6.0.2. My apple ID and password are correct, and I have wifi. I try to log in and it says "could not sign in. please check your wireless connection and try again". Help!

    You could try activating it while connected to a different wifi network.  You could also see if your router has a firmware update available and changing your router's settings to use Google's public DNS to see if that helps (see https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using).

  • HT4623 loaded ios7 and now imessage will not activate

    can anyone help... updated iphone 5 with ios7 and now imessage will not activate?

    Your device has previously been hacked or jailbroken to unlock it for use on other carriers.
    Updating has likely bricked the device.

  • Imessage will not activate iOS8

    okay so basically i've brought an iphone 6 on contract (vodafone) i wanted to keep my old number so i used their "keep my number" service online, ever since ive done that my imessage will not go through or any messages for that matter, imessage is stuck on the good old "waiting for activation" any tips? i have tried the reset all network option and i have tried to manually reboot it. nothing

    I'm having the exact same issue but with 3... I don't think it's the network though. Mine were working no problem for me initially (before iOS8.1.1) and now they won't activate. From what I have read, this is a bug within the update and Apple need to fix this ASAP

  • IMessage will not activate - receive strange message

    Ok, currently my iMessage will not work properly. It has been working previously hence this is very frustrating.
    I have iPhone 4s A1387 model and I am running IOS6.1.1. I am based in the UK.
    This problem may have happened when i updated the software or possibly when I was last overseas. Before that I have successfully used imessage overseas and have had no problems.
    I have tried many things from the forums - resetting, resetting network, etc - but this will not activate
    Here is the problem:
    After resetting I went to General - Imessage
    I turned it back on
    It said 'Waiting for Activation'
    I pressed the Use your Apple ID for iMessage
    My Apple ID was displayed and I put in my password
    Then I got the message
    "iMessage Activation
    Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again"
    The network connection is fine. It is working with everything else.
    I really don't know what to do ????
    Any help would be very nicely received!

    You may have a firewall in your router which is blocking certain ports which iMessage uses. In particular TCP port 5223. IMessage also uses ports 80 and 443 but these probably aren't blocked.
    See: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4245

  • HT204408 iMessage will not activate on my Mac Air or iPhone 5.

    My iphone says waiting for activation. Then will say unsuccessful and try again. this has been happening for several days now.
    My iMessage on my Macbook Air will not fully activate either.
    it looks like its loading but doesnt go through. Ive tried signing in and out several times.
    I dont know what to do.
    Please Help!!

    HI,
    On the Mac use that Sign Out button.
    Then in the Finder > Go Menu > Go to Folder type in ~/Library/Preferences.
    In the Preferences folder find the com.apple.iMessage.bag.plist and the com.apple.imservice.iMessages.plist and drag both to the Trash.
    Restart Messages and it should ask you to enter the Apple ID again.
    IF this is on your home Wifi set up check the router is allowing certain ports.
    iMessages uses three ports. 80 (the same and Web Browsers)  443 (same as Secure Logins in  a browser and some Mail servers) - both these ports are normally always open Out-of-the-box -  and port 5223
    Port 5223 is above the 1024 threshold of ports that are always open.
    If you router has it enable UPnP.
    This will allow multiple devices to use the same ports.

  • My iMessage will not activate with my phone number when I recieved a new apple ID.

    I made a new apple ID because my old one would not let me download any new apps from the app store.
    Everything works great with my new appleID EXCEPT it will not let me use imessage with my phone number.
    I have tried network resets, turning on/off the restrictions, everything.
    Plus... if and when i get iMessage to verify with my phone number.. How do I connect my Macbook, iPad, and iPhone to all sync with my NEW apple ID and get my iMessage working on all three of them with my phone number?

  • My facetime and iMessage will not activate with my apple ID

    Ever since I got the phone I can not activate facetime or iMessage on my iPhone 4S, Every time I try to activate in with my apple ID and password it says waiting for activation and when I try to sign in a message pops up and says could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again.  It has nothing to do with the network connection because no matter what wi fi I am on it says the same message. Help Please!

    I found the fix for the error. Took me a few different tries but I got it to work. You have to completely reset your phone (erase all content and settings) and set it as a, "new phone". I advise you to copy all the information that you want/need onto iCloud first. After I did this my facetime and imessage worked perfectly! Hope this helps.
    On a side note as well your contacts won't be erased either but save them on iCloud just in case.

  • TS4268 Face time or iMessage will not activate

    I have done everything the support page says but I keep getting the grey box that says no network connection when I try to activate my Face Time.  Yet I have not changed any settings and Face Time was working fine last week.  The only thing that I have done at the beginning of the week was back up my iCloud. A info box popped up on the screen telling me to back it up, but I couldn't get the box to go away. I couldn't even turn my iPad off the normal way.  Instead I had to press both buttons at the same time to restart my iPad and since then I can't get Face Time or my IMessages to work.  But obviously my intent connection is fine since I can post this message.  Please help me.

    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.)
