When I try to activate iMessage and while I write my correct password I I receive message say that my user name and password is incorrect although I was use iMessage service on the same network (etisalat ) U.A.E before I update to ios6

What milindsaraswal wrote helps; but for the lucky ones like me, you should have an international version of the iPad which has Facetime & iMessage installed.

I have a feeling that the iPad Mini sold exclusively for the UAE do not have Facetime & iMessage pre-installed; I have not seen any of these, so am not sure.

Oky i have got the fix , when you activating the FT or iMassage for the 1st time you should select a region , this region must be the same that you select your country For EX: ( I have select region US when activate IMassage & app store country is also us ) when do that it work no Errors , but when select different country then i select Region when activating (FT & Imassage) you will got incorrect pw , hope that help all

Hi,

I had the same thing.

I just creat another ID apple and I use it only on the imessage. And it works.

Try it, or do the thing with the address, I read that some people manage that way.

thanks a lot its work 🙂
