What's up with iMessage?

Hi I've been trying to get iMessage to work. It logs me out every time I click on the app and when I do sign in it go to the verifying page and then takes me back to the first one. I tried connecting to other networks but it keeps happening. This is a iPod 4th Generation that runs on iOS 6.1.5. Is there a possibility that this could be fixed.

  • HT4623 What is happening with iMessage on iOS 7? For the second night running I can't communicate with anyone with an iPhone

    What is happening with iMessage? For the 2nd night running I can't communicate with any friends or family with iPhones

    It is a known issue. Reboot your phone and it should work. I had the same issue and once I rebooted it worked fine. Tell your other iphone friends to reboot as well.

  • What is wrong with iMessage?

    This is an incredibly disappointing app. Apple took something simple from the iPhone (text messaging) and screwed it up. Type iMessage into this board's search window and you get several threads complaining this app doesn't work.
    It should work the way it does on the iPhone. When I see the same icon and label as on my iPhone, it should work the same. On any device I should be able to send a text (MMS or SMS) to any phone. It should have added the ability to send them to iPads. These should have been core capabilities.
    Instead, it must be an iOS5 device that has to be registered and there are these silly rules for what address you put in it based on what device you are using. It does a verification that the address is registered that so far has rejected everything I've tried. Something as simple as sending a message from my iPad to my iPhone and it tells me that an email address I pulled from my contacts isn't registered. Both devices have iOS5, the email address was my MobileMe account that both have their mail apps synched to and they were both sitting on a WiFi. I even tried putting them on 3G. No change.
    Maybe I can't send a message to myself; I tried sending one to my wife. She also has an iPad and iPhone with iOS5 and an email account synched to both devices. It seems my wife isn't registered either. I haven't figured out how to break the bad news to her. Maybe she'll take consolation in the fact that I too have been declared unregistered by Apple.
    Seriously, thought, how did this pass Beta testing? How did one of the best programming companies on the planet not catch the problems in this? Apple needs to take a serious look at what went wrong. Somewhere their vaunted process broke down.
    I'm going to cut my losses and put this app in a 'worthless app' folder and find something else.

    Thank you for the link. It both explained and confirmed my thoughts about iMessage. I have checked that everything is turned on and we do have everything registered with iCloud (which should have nothing to do with this).
    I am glad that it works for you. I still can't get it to work. Why not? Apple prides itself on "just working out of the box" and this app requires me to try and figure out more than I should have to. I could have stuck with Linux for this.
    As I stated in my original post, there are some core capabilities Apple should have put into this. It shouldn't matter that it isn't a phone; the idea is to sent data from one device to another. Cell networks, data networks and WiFi should easily handle that.
    This app reaches too few people and requires too much trouble to get working. Again, thank you for the link.

  • What's wrong with imessage?

    I recently updated one of my idevices (iPhone 4 AT&T) to iOS 7.1. The rest (another iPhone 4 AT&T, iPhone 5 AT&T and an iPad Mini 2 wifi) are on iOS 7.0.6. This morning I wasn't able to send an imessage from any of my devices.  Later on, I was able to send imessages from my iPhone 4 ATT&T on 7.0.6 but none of the imessage client on my other devices synced.  I know this is wrong because imessage used to sync across all of my devices.  Can someone please address/fix this issue????
    Thanks,

  • What's going on with iMessage

    What's going on with iMessage it won't activate and when I tried logging in I got an email saying I was setting up a new phone

    Again:
    "New phone" means that you have not used it to log into iMessage yet.
    Did you reboot as suggested?

  • HT3529 I had a iphone 4s with imessage activated, I switched to android and now I can still text other people with iphones but they can't text me. What can I do?

    I Had an iphone 4s with imessage activated,  I switched to an android and now I can't recieve texts from iphones that have imessage turned on. What can i do?

    iMessage works by linking your Apple ID with your phone number
    When you send and receive messages to and from other iPhone users who’ve also got iMessage activated, they’re sent and delivered over the internet as iMessages rather than as SMS
    Non-Apple phones can’t receive iMessages so if you no longer use an iPhone, you need to deactivate it. This lets iPhones know to send you messages via SMS instead
    If you’ve got access to your iPhone
    Ensure your phone is connected to the internet (3G or Wi-Fi) so that the changes will sync with your Apple ID.
    Go into ‘Settings’.
    Tap ‘Messages’.
    For ‘iMessage’, move the slider to ‘Off’.
    If you don’t have access to your iPhone
    Go to supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do.
    Log in with your Apple ID and password.
    Select the product you need to de-register (your iPhone, for example).
    Click ‘Unregister’.
    You’ll see the message ‘Are you sure you want to unregister and delete this product?’ – Click ‘Unregister’ again.

  • What is the issue with iMessage with iOS7?

    What is the issue with iMessage with iOS7?  I continue to have messages that are not sent.  Is there a config I need to modify since I went to iOS7 or is this "a feature" now?

    NO ! its not a feature. its a bug and Apple will fix it soon. Meanwhile if you continue to have problem the best way to overcome this problem is to turn off iMessages and use Text messages instead btw if you text alot, your carrier might charge you for it if you dont have unlimited text messages. So be careful !

  • How do I register people's numbers on my contact list app with iMessage ? What's with the red balloon offering me the option to remove a contact that is not registered!

    How do I register people on my contact list app with iMessage ? I have an iPad and a red balloon keeps on coming up asking if I want to remove the unregistered contact. How do I go about solving this problem?

    You can't. They have to register to use Messages on their devices themselves. You cannot add them to your contacts yourself. After they have setup and registered Messages, then you can add them.
    Messages only works with other iOS devices. You cannot message with an Android phone or a regular cell phone.

  • Issues with iMessage!

    Hello! Like many other people, I am having issues with iMessage. I have an iPhone 5.
    It was working before, but sporadically. I would be able to send something as an iMessage, but the next day it would switch to text messaging, even though I have SMS/MMS/etc. turned off. Currently, it's telling me it's "waiting for activation" and that there's an error everytime I try and reactivate identities.
    I am currently in Turkey with all cellular data turned off (I will not be returning Stateside until end of June), but I do have access to wifi (which is what I've been using). I've tried a lot of the google fixes already (using it in airplane mode, doing a full reset of the phone, etc.), but nothing I do seems to work. It was activated before I left the US.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

  • HT1222 Having a problem with iMessage on my iPad mini.

    Bought my Ipad from the US & presently using it in Nigeria.I'm having a problem with iMessage on my iPad mini, I've been trying to activate it and I've been receiving an error message saying my password is incorrect which I'm pretty sure isn't because I still buy apps on the iTunes Store with it. What can I do?

    Have you looked at some of the 3rd party apps that will do this for you? Some of them are iPodAgent for Windows, copypod, yamipod. Most of them can be found on versiontracker.com, if not try to "google" them. Also, if you have purchased music, you can now import that off your iPod to your new system. Hope this helps.
