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
