    Try resetting the network and then trying to sign into your account. Go into settings -> general -> reset -> reset network settings.

    I too faced the same problem . I was using imessage in ios6 and when i upgraded , There were issues like ,

    check network connections and Try again . , Connect to itunes for Push notifications . It was irritating and annoying for everyone i guess

     

    Steps to Resolve the i meeage issue

     

    1) Connect your phone to P.C and Back up your datas to P.C via I tunes

     

    2) Once the back up is complete . Connect your phonbe to Wifi or 3G cellular network and  Boldly go to Settings-->General --> Reset--> Erase all datas

    ( Do not worry if you had backed up your datas )

     

    3) Iphone will reboot . it will take some time

     

    4) Then your iphone will start . Click next and you will be prompted for i message activation . Give your apple id and Sign in

     

    5)Keep your phone connected . In P.C you will be prompted if you want to restore ( EOther wise go to I tunes --> File --> Device--> Restore back up

     

    It really worked for me .

     

    Hope this is clear.

     

    Thanks

    Fazil Mohammed's solution worked for me! It was scary to erase all data, but After backing it up on PC (and then restoring) I cannot find anything that's missing, AND iMessage is working AND I'm no longer getting those "Connect to itunes for Push notifications" message boxes.Thanks!!!
