7.1 update to IPad now unable to use FaceTime and iMessage says could not sign in check your network connection. Why am I seeing this when I am connected?
Check Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure that the time zone setting is also set correctly.
If that didn't solve the problem, restart your iPad and try again. If that fails, reset your iPad and try again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -

I am trying to activate iMessage. I receive a message that says "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again." I connection is strong. I can browse the internet but cannot connect to iMessages. I don't understand. Any ideas.
Turn iMessage off and then on again, wait a few minutes.
Turn Airplane mode on and then off again, turn iMessage off and then on again, wait a few minutes.
Make sure your iPad is on Wi-Fi, reboot your iPad, turn iMessage off and then on again, wait a few minutes.
Wait and try again later -- Apple's servers can get overwhelmed or experience outages just like anyone else's. -
When I try to sign into my iMessage account, it pops up 'could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again'. I've checked my connection and it works perfectly. What can I do?
You could try going into settings then messages and seeing if you have it turned on. You will need to use your apple ID then, hope that helps.

iMessage Activation. Could no sign in. Please check your network connection and try again.
I have two apple ids.
one for Itunes and other for everything else.
I dont want to use the itunes id for imessage/facetime.
i tried the following solutions to no avail:
1. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4268.
2. Click on DNS and change the current value to 8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4
3. verified -unverified-verified email.
4.disassociated /removed alternate Apple ids.Hello, Hannaabe.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I see you have already been through most of the troubleshooting steps for this issue. Make sure to take a look at the section below labeled If you've waited 24 hours and still can't activate FaceTime or iMessage.
If you see "Waiting for Activation", "Activation unsuccessful", or "An error occurred during activation"
These messages occur when your iPhone is trying to activate your phone number with iMessage or FaceTime.
To resolve these status messages, follow these steps. After each step, turn FaceTime and iMessage off and on again in Settings > Messages and Settings > FaceTime.
Update to the latest version of iOS.
Make sure that you have a cellular network connection with your cellular provider. You need a cellular network connection to activate iMessage and FaceTime with your iPhone phone number.
Go to www.apple.com in Safari to make sure that you have a data connection. You need a data connection to activate iMessage and FaceTime with your iPhone phone number.
Make sure that you can send and receive SMS. You need a valid SMS messaging plan to activate FaceTime and iMessage.
Make sure that FaceTime hasn't been restricted: tap Settings > General > Restrictions > FaceTime.
Set iPhone to the correct time zone: tap Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: If Set Automatically is on but the incorrect time zone appears, turn Set Automatically off and choose the correct time zone, date, and time.
Contact your carrier to verify that there are no restrictions, blocks, or filters on text messages. Restrictions, blocks, or filters on text messaging will prevent iMessage and FaceTime registration from completing.
If "Waiting for Activation" still appears after you perform these steps, turn FaceTime and iMessage off and on in Settings > Messages and Settings > FaceTime. You may need to wait up to 24 hours to complete activation. Most attempts will take less than an hour, but some attempts may take up to 24 hours. If your issue isn't resolved after 24 hours, please contact Apple for assistance. If you've recently performed a remote wipe on your iPhone, wait 24 hours from the time you performed the remote wipe, and then turn iMessage off then back on.You can still activate iMessage and FaceTime with your Apple ID when these status messages appear. You can see that you've activated FaceTime and iMessage with your Apple ID by tapping:
Settings > FaceTime > You can be reached by FaceTime at:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You can be reached by iMessage at:
If you've waited 24 hours and still can't activate FaceTime or iMessage
If you're still unable to resolve the symptoms above after performing these troubleshooting steps, please contact Apple for assistance.
