Despite the high degree of friendliness of the iOS system, sometimes users experience various problems, one of which may be the inability to activate iMessage. The device informs about this when trying to use the service, displaying the message “Waiting for activation”, “Failed to complete activation” or “An error occurred during activation”. What to do in such cases?

Fix iMessage activation problem

There are several options for fixing the messaging service activation problem.

1. Restart iMessage.
First, you can try just restarting iMessage. You can do this in Settings\u003e Messages. Disable iMessage, reboot the device, and restart the messaging service.
Did not help? Move on.

2. Reset network settings.
Resetting yourself from the languidly endless wait for activation can reset the network settings. To do this, launch the Settings app and go to General\u003e Reset\u003e Reset Network Settings. After rebooting the device and try restarting iMessage again.

3. Enter your details. The device probably didn’t recognize you, so we’re trying to provide information about yourself. To do this, launch the “Settings” application and go to the “Mail, addresses, calendars” section, where we are interested in the “My Details” item.

Here we need to select ourselves in the contact list that opens. Did not find your name? Launch the "Contacts" application and add information about yourself. After specifying the data, the “pending activation” in iMessage should stop.

4. Logout / Logout account iMessage
Go to the “Settings” application, look for the “Messages” section, where we are interested in the “Send / Receive” line. In the "Send / Receive" subsection, you can log out of your account by tapping AppleID, and then log in again.

5. Flashing iPhone or iPad.
In case of total reluctance of the service to activate on your device, it is recommended to reflash the device. Instructions for flashing iPhone or iPad

Greetings! Today after iPhone updates, while trying to log in with your account, I encountered an unusual error. The phone happily informed me that this was not possible, and wrote approximately the following - “Verification failed, login failed. An error occurred connecting to the Apple ID server. ” The most interesting thing is that because of this, the phone actually turns into a regular “dialer”, because it’s impossible to use all apple services - in App store do not log in, iCloud does not activate either, well, etc.

I successfully overcame this misfortune, which I also wish you. And this instruction will tell you what exactly needs to be done. Go!

To begin, I advise you to check whether apple ID The ID is correct and valid, that is, functioning at the moment. To do this, follow the link to the official website and enter your account information. If it does not open, then. In the case when everything is “ok”, we will look for other reasons for the failure.

Error occurs on iPhone and iPad

The problem of connecting to Apple servers may be waiting for you already. And there are only two options that you can take:

Try to activate through a computer using iTunes. Although difficulties may arise here, but more on that below.
Just skip the creation of the Apple ID and do it later, after turning on the device.

In the case when it is not possible to log into your Apple ID on the already loaded device, or vice versa, the login has been completed, but the App Store and other services do not work due to a server failure, you should pay attention to:

By the way, jailbreak can also cause such problems. Therefore, if the previous methods do not help, and you still can’t log in to your Apple ID, we get rid of the jail. Let me remind you that this can only be done correctly through.

On a computer when using iTunes

In rare cases, server connection errors and various crashes with the Apple ID or App Store may occur while working with iTunes. However, they are quite easy to get rid of. For this:

We make sure that the computer is connected to the Internet (stupid of course, but everything can be).
Antiviruses, firewalls and other defenders can block access to Apple servers. Turn them off for a while.
A version of iTunes must be installed.
If your Apple ID account has already been used on the computer, then we are trying to “unhook” it from the program. To do this, open iTunes - in the upper left corner click on the "store" - deauthorize this computer. Reboot the PC. Try again.

That's all the actions that you can perform to combat the error connecting to Apple ID servers. Yes, they are not many, but most importantly - they really work!

P.S. Like if the article is helpful and write in the comments - what helped and what not! Or do you have any other ways to deal with this failure? Tell us about them!
