Upgraded to iOS7 but cant accept the terms and conditions as it is 'unable to connect to server' on both my iPhone and iPad, whilst my collegues all could accept them...RESET did NOT work. Any alternative thoughts?

I got it to work by enabling cookies in safari settings and turning off private browsing. Cookies are probably the key thing here. Accept button will appear at bottom right of first screen of agreement.

I have a new iPod touch and cannot get my apple id verified for imessage or facetime - any help?

I have an Apple ID and it works but I cannot use iMessage or Facetime. I enter my apple id and password and it hangs up at the verify stage. I have received the email which apple sends and it states that my apple id is verified. Any help with this?

I had this same problem. I tried turning iPhone on & off, exiting Settings, etc. Nothing worked. I realized that the E-mail address associated with my Apple ID was not connected to the iPhone via POP or IMAP. I believe that if you want to use the iMessage feature, you have to have a live connection between that E-mail server and your iPhone. After I set up the POP link to send/receive E-mails from that account, iMessage worked. Also, during my attempts to get iMessage to work, I updated my phone to the latest iOS, and when the phone rebooted, my cell number was listed and checked in the iMessage setup, where it was not visible anytime beofre that upgrade. Hope this will help someone.

I have signed in using my Apple ID to use iMessage and FaceTime, but it's still waiting for activation?

If anyone could please help me, that would be much appreciated :)
I have a full wifi connection and my Apple ID signs into the App Store so I know everything's working, but I don't know why it isn't activating my FaceTime and iMessage

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:

When is apple going to fix imessage and FaceTime problems?

Hello,
I am having the same problem as a lot of other users seem to have: my imessage and facetime applications are not accepting my password. I found a way to (temporarily) fix this via deletion of the host file. Since then facetime works, my imessage worked for about a week and since then it's asking for password, about every 5 minutes. About an hour ago it stopped accepting my password and is stuck doing whatever- btw: It works on my iPhone 5. Now I could waste another 2 to 3 hours to find a way to fix it, try another way if the first one won't work and so on. But I don't want to. I spent A LOT of money on my MBP and my iPhone 5. I was promised an "integrated system" where "everything just works". It stopped working a long time ago and thing about these applications is that they are integrated. They are system apps and searching through different forums will show you that a lot of people have a common problem regarding IM and FT.
So when is Apple finally going to fix this???

HI,
You are probably already aware of the FaceTime, Games Centre and Messages Trouble Shooting document as item 5 is about the Hosts file.
There is the one about the ports FaceTime and iMessages use regarding iPhones. (that is to say it was written from iPhones before the Mac version of Messages was released.)
Despite the number of posts on the subject making it look like a substantial problem the numbers are actually quite small compared to the number of Mountain Lion Installs.
As Apple never say when they are going to change something it will be impossible say if and when they might fix this for the ones having the issue.

There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having similar problems. There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.

Close inactive apps

2. Swipe up on the screenshot of the app you want to exit.
3. The app will fly off the screen

Valid apple id rejected in imessage and facetime, valid apple id rejected in imessage and facetime

I have an ipod touch on ios 5.1.1 and I am unable to activate either imessage or facetalk.
The error i get is that my username or password is incorrect
I am completely sure i am using the correct password, I use it all the time to download apps.
I tried to log in about 10 times, and was very careful to check the password was being entered correctly (I watched that all the pop up characters were the correct ones)
Right after this happened I updated an app to test my apple id was working, it asked me for the password and I entered the same one that is being rejected by imessage and facetalk - it worked fine (as it always does ) to update an app.
I am connected to wifi (can download apps, browse the web, check email etc and can see that i have a wifi connection - there is no firewall etc on the connection i am using
Can anyone suggest why this is happening? I have browsed other threads and do not have an old username which is not an email (I have not ever used either of these apps before)
As above I am absolutely 110% without-a-doubt sure that I am using the correct valid apple id and password (which i also used to download an app update on the same device, then to log into this forum)
Other things work fine on the ipod, it is just facetalk and imessage (and apparently imessage depends on facetalk to work?)
The steps I have taken are as follows:
touch app
get started screen displayed
touch get started
- enter apple id screen displayed - correct email already displayed
I enter the CORRECT (trust me on this one is IS the right password)
click sign in buttonnavigated to next page which asks me to enter the email address I wish to use - there is an email address already there - a different one - but one of mine, (no idea how it got that - maybe because it is my facebook email and i have a facebook ap on the ipod linked to this email
anyway before i can change the email or if I leave it as it is and click next, it diverts me back to the sign in screen
error message is
"you were signed out of FaceTime because your Apple ID or password changed. Sign in to turn on facetime.
I can then try and log in again, and repeat ad-infinitum, the steps above never getting past the email address page
Why does it think i have changed my password? I have not (and i am still able to download apps, log into this forum etc using the exact same login that i have alwys used since purchasing the ipod in december 2011)

I was able to get it working by logging in with an alternative email address. My primary email address/user ID for my iTunes account is my Gmail address, and that throws up the error whenever I try to log into FaceTime. When I log in using my iCloud email as the user ID, which is of course tied to the same iTunes/iCloud account, it works fine.

I have an iPhone 5 and updated it to iOS7 but now I can't use iMessage or FaceTime as it says "waiting for activation" and won't let me use my phone number to do iMessage or FaceTime either

I have an iPhone 5 and updated it to iOS7 last night but now I can't use iMessage or FaceTime as it says "waiting for activation" As well as that, it won't let me use my phone number to do iMessage or FaceTime it will only let me use my apple ID which I don't want to do.

Thank you for replying. Yes I deleted the old email address..

HT3529 I have upgraded to iOS7 and now can not get my iMessage to activate. It will not accept my Apple ID and I have tried a new password and restarting my phone but it will not activate. How do I fix this?

I can not use iMessage or blue tooth since the upgrade to iOS7. My Apple ID is not being accepted, even with a restart and a password change. I am not receiving texts from others who are sending as an iMessage. How do I fix this?

IF your imessage is saying waiting for activation then do this:
backup your phone to itunes or icloud.
then on your phone go to settings - general - reset - erase all contents and settings - this will wipe your phone clean.
once the process is done, you can restore from the backup you made, then you should be able to activate your imessage.

I upgraded to ios7 and my imessage and FaceTime won't activate on my apple id

I upgraded to ios7 and my message and facetime won't activate. I try sign in with my apple id and I get the message "iMessage Activation - Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again." I have tried everything even restoring and I keep getting the same problem

I searched the support.apple.com and found Unable to activate FaceTime or iMessage with phone number and Apple ID after waiting 24 hours (iPhone only) I followed all the instruction (even though it seemed it was for previous ios versions) step by step and it worked.

Upgraded to ios7. I cant activate my apple id. I cant imessage n facetime!!!!!!
