iMessages not working on older iPod touch

Hello, my question is, I am trying to use iMessages on my older iPod touch, and the problem seems to be that it is starting over again from the beginning.

I don't know what the problem is. I enter my apple ID and my password, and it is not signing in. I am wondering if there is some confusion about my apple ID email address, because it was changed a couple times. Can someone help me with my problem, thank you.

iPod touch, iOS 5.1.1, This is my older iPod.

I have an old iPod Touch with old software that can no longer be updated:

iOS version 6.1.6

I've been searching for a solution to my iMessage login problem for months and tried everything from those frustrating links and all the tips from other users.

Here is what finally worked:

1) Settings > Privacy > Location Services > On

2) Settings > General > Date & Time > Set Automatically > On

3) Reboot device until Apple logo appears

4) Settings > Messages > Sign In
