An Error Occurred during iMessage and FaceTime Activation. I've tried everything. New iPad.

Hey guys. I know there are tons of threads of this, but none help me out. I just bought a new iPad and am trying to set up iMessage and FaceTime. I use both on my MacBook Pro and iPhone. I have-

  • Made sure I'm on automatic time
  • changed the D.N.S. to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
  • Hard reset
  • Reset settings
  • Restore through iTunes


Please help. This is very annoying and un-apple. Thanks in advance!

iPad, iOS 5.1.1

I went to apple store in the afternoon (Canada, west coast), and was told that "server for facetime is down, wait 24 hours, and come back if still have the same problem". I hope that is case, coz I spent a few hours trying to fix it, and that was the only words i got. I'd be really ****** if I still can't use it by this time tmr.
