Sep 17, 2015 12:42 PM in response to Jman0125by Twooga,★HelpfulSince neither iMessage nor Facetime can be activated on either device it is not possible to disable then re-enable that option or edit any settings for them, so I tried -
rebooting and resetting several times,
logging into my Apple account to check my Apple ID and password were still correct,
checking my country was correct,
changing the date manually then switching it back to Automatic,
connecting on different wi-fi networks,
disabling and re-enabling Find My Device,
switching on two-factor authentication, verifying both devices, and trying an app-specific password,
sign out and sign in again for my apple ID on the device within Settings and the Apple Store app,
downloaded and updated apps,
but nothing worked and I still can't access iMessage on my iPad mini 1 and my iPod Touch 5th Gen after updating them both to iOS9. It has been over 24 hours now.

Sep 17, 2015 4:50 PM in response to Jman0125by Caseysnyder ,★HelpfulI had this problem, iMessage and FaceTime was not activating, I tried so much stuff that everyone suggested. Then tried resetting all settings (not delete content ) settings>general>reset all settings and it worked for me. Although you have to change minor things to your liking, i.e. Ringtones, wallpaper etc.
hope this helps someone else, I ripped my hair out trying to figure out something.

Sep 18, 2015 3:55 AM in response to Caseysnyderby msrourke,★HelpfulFIxed, thank you. Had two factor authentication enabled. Turned it off, did not fix. Then tried this, worked. If you use two factor, I would try this first, if it doesn't work, turn off two factor, then try this again.
