HI, ever since I updated to IOS 9 yesterday on my iPad 4, i have been unable to connect to imesssge. Whenever I try to sign in straight from the imessage app, it either says "error with activation" or "error activating facetime." Please help, and thanks in advance. Edit: I'm trying now and nothing shows up, it doesn't do anything now.
iOS 9, null
I 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.
This worked for me. Much faster than a total restore!🙂
Reset setting solution worked! Even apple support wasn't able to resolve it after 40 minute 😟
Yes same here. I tried the advice that seems to be working for most people, and it did nothing for me.
Messages isn't working on iphone, iPad, or MacBook.
You are awesome ! Thank you! I've been ready to scream trying to get this fixed until your post. 🙂
Interesting.
What was your error exactly? And did iMessage also stop working on ipad/Mac or other devices prior to the switch if so did it fix them too?
Thanks!!! This worked like a charm.
Thanks, just had to re boot after I did what you said and now it works again.

EEven after ios 9.0.2 no luck with this issue. How long we have to wait Apple? 😕
This is exactly what happened to me. The Genius bar replaced my phone today; if iMessage isn't up & running in 24 hours I'll be going back.
Good luck...
I just got an update this week and the same thing happened again. At least this works...

TThank you Casey this worked for me - but I had to reboot after resetting the setting then I was able to sign in thanks for saving what little sanity I had left
Thank you so much this has worked for me too.

Thanks Casey. That fixed it for me. Note to others, if this does not fix it for you, try a reboot after this fix. Some folks seemed to have to do that.
