for whatever reason my iMessage stopped working all together today. I wasn't getting texts and I noticed that mine were no longer sending, so I turned off my iMessage for a little while and when I went to turn it back on, all it says is "waiting for activation"
Syncing it to my iTunes isn't an option because the casing on my laptop broke and it's going to be sent away somewhere and it'll take at least 2 weeks.
Neither is hard rebooting it for the reason above because I'll lose everything.
help?

Re: iMessage problem
I never had it hooked up under my email, it was just my phone number. But I did hook up my email a few minutes ago, But I turned iMessage off again and turned it on, turned off my phone. And now the option isn't even there.blackhawk1105 wrote:did you try signing out and signing in?
Where am I supposed to sign out?

Re: iMessage problem

iMessage problem
Mine was messed up today too, I'd only receive texts and not iMessages from my girlfriend (who also has an iPhone) and it would take me forever to send one even with 5 bars on 3G, but it seems to have worked itself out now.

Re: iMessage problem
My twitter feed was filled with people complaining but I never had problem at all. I used it fairly heavily between 6pm to about 1am before heading to be. My best educated guess is heavy traffic on the server.

Re: iMessage problem
Is anyone having problems with iMessage? Mine stopped working some time yesterday and I've been sending texts ever since.

Re: iMessage problem
It was down for a bit, but it should be back to normal now...
but I know I can't be comfortable in my own skin.
So when I say I'm scared to be alone, you know I mean it,
I'm just not ready to leave my room.
