Why does my iMessage say it is trying to activate?

Why does my iPhone 4s not want to accept iMessages on my phone number. It says in settings that my iMessage is trying to activate. I can receive messages via email but not on phone number. Do I still get unlimited text from iPhone to iPhone this way.

what i would try is turning imessage off then on, then if that doesnt work go to setting messages and make sure were it says receive at has your number and apple id. try that if it doesnt work let me know

  • Why does my iMessage say (-1)?

    Since I upgraded the OS software, I can no longer send or receive messages. After composing a message and sending, the iPhone re-sets (flashes quickly) to the home screen. When I go back into messages, the title bar says -1 Message.
    The messages are not sent.
    It appears that I can not receive messages either. Telus say it's an Apple problem
    ideas??

    When I text to some people with imessage they tell me that they see my apple id instead of my number how can i change so that when i text them they see my number instead of my apple ID? 

    when you click on send/receive...Should any email address have a check mark beside it? If not will it only send from the cell phone number?

  • Why does my printe say "used supply in use/:

    why does my printer say used supply in use?  And I can't print anything

    Pretty sure its to make sure you don't get good use out of your cartridges... basically this company trying to get 10 cents a print out of you
    After 1100 prints, regardless of how much ink used, if you take it out (the genuine 85a) at this point and put it back in, say after a jam or you want to shake it, it tells you have a used cartridge, i have tested continually using this, and got 500 more prints, with an annoying nag that you cant stop from every page printed. you have to take it out because this printer is notorious for a section ink don't get too, even though there probably is over 50% of ink left in it.. you take it out and shake it and can print, hundreds and hundreds of more pages... but after the 1100 point mark, since the printer tracks statistics it goes into this "used mode" so averages of prints won't go up... im pretty sure its devious code... but what do i know.. i just wont be getting new HP printers.. they claim it can cause damage.... the heads are on the toner cartridge... if its damaged the cartridge is replaced and thats that... so their warnigs are smoke and mirrors..

  • HT5824 why does my ipad say user name disabled, but on all other devices i can pog into itunes and icloud using my user name

    why does my ipad say user name disabled but i can use my user name to log into itunes and icloud on other devices

    At this time there is no "solution." You'll simply have to wait the 90 days to re-enable iTunes Match.
    For now here is my suggestion. In your User Account, in OS X, sign out of whatever iTunes Store account you are signed in with. Then sign in with your store account and leave it at that. Now sign out of your OS X User Account, sign into your wife's OS X User Account and sign into the iTunes Store with her Apple ID (if necessary sign out of the account first).
    Now, you can go back to your OS X User Account and attempt to enable iTunes Match. You will probably get the "wait 90 days" message. If so leave it, mark your calendar, and wait for the 90 days to expire. You can try contacting iTunes Store support at <https://expresslane.apple.com> if you wish, but I really do not know how useful that will be.
    Incidentally, you get the message to pay for the service when trying to enable it on your wife's Apple ID because the service has not been purchased using that Apple ID. iTunes Match is designed to be a single-user service that is never signed out of and is associated with one, and only one, Apple ID and a regional store.

  • Why does my iPhone say it doesnt have any more storage?

    My phone had about 250-300MB of free space.  Then, I synched it with my computer.  It said I had to delete some stuff because it didnt have enough room to synch.  So I deleted about 1GB of apps, and as part of the synch, I updated 2 apps that were around 50MB combined.  Keep in mind these are basically replacing apps that were already on the phone.  Now, it still says I dont have enough room to put them on my phone, and iTunes is telling me I am 314MB over capacity.  If it all fit on there before, and I only put 50MB on there but I took 1GB off, how is this possible?  I have an iPhone 5 and the latest version of iTunes.

    Have you tried updating via iTunes? I find that way's more reliable - I've never had any problems with updating that way.

  • Why does FaceTime keep saying "connection lost" when we both have full bars on our wifi?

    Why does FaceTime keep saying "connection lost" when we both have full bars on our wifi? My friend in Texas has tried to call my via FaceTime but for some reason, every time she does, it keeps saying "connection lost" when we both have full bars on our wifi. Keep in mind, I am from Nebraska so we have the same time zone and I have an iPod 4 while she has a iPhone of some sort but that shouldn't matter because I am still able to FaceTime my friend in California, which is two hours behind me. So, I guess I just want to know why I cannot reach my friend in Texas. Please, someone help me!

    Apple has released a document which is reported to address the recent FaceTime issue.

  • Why does my Ipod say its charging when it isn't reseaving any power?

    I read every article on the support part of the apple website and nothing could help me. My Ipod touch is a 3rd generation and has 32 gigs, if thats relavent at all. So, my Ipod has a picture of a dead battery with a lightning bolt on it, and it only shows when its charging. The apple support said that picture means that the Ipod is charging, but is so dead that it cannot function, and to let it charge for 30 minutes and it should be better. It sat on a wall charger (a usb outlet that is plugged into the wall) for 3 days now and theres been no progress. So why does my Ipod say its charging when it isn't reseaving any power?
    I've tried 2 wall chargers, and tried connenting it to all three of my computers, and tried about 4 differant charger cords. On all of them the Ipod says its charging, but it isn't getting any charge. So I don't believe its a severed power cord. I have also reset it a few times, and it won't show the apple sign, only the same battery/lightning picture.

    It could also be the charging circuit in the iPod. The Genius Bar is free. You could try to replace the battery yourself but that may not fix it.
    This site provides instructions and where to get parts.

  • Why does my Iphone says software update unavailable??

    Why does my Iphone says software update unavailable??

    I have a 5 and got the message that the "software update is not available at this time. Try again later". Everyone is jamming the server trying to update at the same time. I'll try later this evening. Scary about the problem people are having after the update. They are saying their phones need to be re-activated. My IPhone is my only phone. Good luck everyone!
