iMessage won't work after iOS 6 upgrade

HI,

II've done the same thing asyhou and it works most of the time now.

BUT, does anyone know what it means when you type in a contacts name to send a text msg to and it comes up RED with an exclamation point.....their phone number is where in sending it to and is in the persons contact info and is a valid number.

Just curious! I need help!

thanks.

My Suggestion is Restoring back to its original settings, it may work better after that.

It means they are not Registered with iMessage- In shorter words...They don't use iMessage.

By any chance have any of you been modifying TinyTower? Did anyone mess with their keychain-2.db file?

If keychain-2.db is not properly chowned back to _securityd, or if the file is deleted completely, it can cause this behavior.

Dude, i got the same problem on my 3rd generation iPad! I totally feel for you!

I made a different iCloud account yesterday, and now my iMessage won't work. It was fine before I changed my iCloud. Anyone have any advice?

I recently lost the ability to send a group text - it would show on my iPhone 5 as sent but the recipients on iPhone 4's would not receive it. I upgraded to version 6.1.3 a while ago and iMessage was working properly after the upgrade, so I don't think the upgrade was directly related. I used the idea from a previous post - I went to Settings/Messages and turned off iMessages. I re-booted the phone, turned iMessages back on and the group text began working again.

I recently lost the ability to message on my ipad also and finally got it going but am unsure which process did the trick.

First, I removed my email from iMessage and kept only me cell number. Next, I set the clock to automatically update. Once I did that my messages started working again. Who knows?

That would be me.

I had a 5yr old try to guess the passcode on my phone until it was completely disabled.

I had to delete keychain-2.db to undo (since I wanted to avoid a complete restore)

But now I can't get iMessages to activate

The new keychain-2.db has this:

Ownership

Owner: _securityd,

Group: wheel

Access Permissions

User: Read, Write

Group:

World:

Is there anything I can do to fix it?
