iMessage "awaiting activation" international problem

So I went oversees and upon arrival, my IMessages by cell phone number worked perfectly on the wifi connection, but I had a hard time sending pictures/videos. I didn't have my ID apple connected to both, but I turned off IMessage and then back on... He kept saying "Waiting for activation" which was at least 12 hours. So I decide to log my apple ID and add my e-mail address that worked perfectly for IMessage. The cell phone number is grayed out constantly, and even if I connect ILO to Apple ID or remove my email, I can not get my number IMessages. I tried airplane mode, reboot the phone, change the DNS, everything. I can still send and receive TEXT messages on my cell number, if I do not use IMessage.

If you get an error when you try to activate FaceTime - Apple Support or iMessage

You may need to get it activate in when you return to the States, or simply use your apple ID until you return.

by the link if it is more than 24 hours contact Apple.

  • iMessage/Facetime activation on iOS 10 bug

    Hello

    The bug appeared after the first intentional reboot after iOS 10 updated, my iPhone 5 has been disconnected for a few hours. When it started I started to receive petitions of iM/FT on reboot or a random time after even if iM/FT completely!

    I did not move my SIM card. If I refuse to activate iM I can't see my phone number in the Contacts section.

    The same bug persists on the iPhone of my 5s wife while his phone has never been disconnected except 10.0.2 update.

    Hi Valsh,

    Here is how to fix iMessage / FaceTime activation do not question.

    Before you begin, you'll need sort these things:

    • Make sure that in the phone application, you got your registered number. On top of "Contacts", you should see your registered number (My Number :). If not, you will need to go to settings → → my phone number and enter your number.
    • Make sure that the Date and time (in general) are correct. Set to "Set automatically" to ensure that the time zone is correct and the iPhone is at the right time.
    • Also make sure you have a working network. Problems of Wi - fi can cause iMessage activation problems therefore have active cell.
      For some users, the message for activation goes out as an international SMS. Make sure that your carrier allows these and you have a sufficient amount to send them.


    1. contact your operator

    First of all, make sure that your carrier supports iMessage or not. Contact the support team of carrier and check any condition limiting on your iMessage, blocks or text filters.

    2. airplane mode

    As strange as it sounds, maybe you should try this method if nothing else works. We found the airplane mode activation mode in one of the discussions. It sounds simple, and if it is correct, it would be nice, right?

    Here's how it works:

    Step #1. Get off at scroll → settings touch Messages and turn offiMessage (also turn off FaceTime)

    Step #2. Turn on airplane mode. WiFi will be disabled automatically.

    Step #3: Turn ON Wifi.

    Step #4. Return to Messages and ignition iMessage.

    Step #5. You will be prompted for your Apple ID if you have not yet added it. (otherwise, you get no notification)

    Step #6. Now, go back to the settings and disable airplane mode.

    Step #7. For the most part, you will see a notification that says "your carrier may charge for SMS" - press OK

    Step #8. If this is not the case, go to Messages, disable iMessage and then turn on again.

    Step #9. In a few moments, iMessage should be enabled.

    Step #10. You will see a greyed number and e-mail ID. A little later, the number should be checked, and that's all.


    3 Apple ID disconnect, connect

    Sometimes, you just need to logout of your identifier Apple and then sign in again.

    Step #1. Under Settings → Message, scroll up to where it says 'Send and receive'and tap on it.

    Step #2. Type on the Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.

    Step #3. Now turn off iMessage.

    Step #4. Wait for a while (toggle Wifi) and then turn on the iMessage.

    Step #5. Enter the details of your Apple ID now and try to reactivate iMessage

    4. set or restore

    If things do not work, you must first reset the settings of your location, then the iPhone. Reset is just a force so restart your data stays secure. After the reset, you will just connect with your Apple and implementing iMessage like new.

    If this fails, you may need to restore the iPhone as new or from a backup.

    Hope this helps,

    See you soon.

  • Satellite A350 microphone internal problem with Skype

    Hello

    I have a strange problem with the internal mic. If I use the registration option window, the microphone works. Although not large, static noise. But if I use Skype with the internal microphone, it is hardly. Only very soft background noise.
    As much, I know that this is not the problem of the Skype software, I tested Skype on different systems. If I plug in an external microphone it all works.
    I have windows vista installed and a microphone internal realtek.

    I have Toshiba send back for repair, but only replaced the microphone.
    Any ideas?

    Have you checked the sound settings in Windows? The microphone volume is perhaps not at the highest level.

    In addition, you can also change the volume of the microphone in Skype.
    Check it!

  • Internal problems after the installation of the new HD

    I have a mid-2009 MacBookPro (4 GB of RAM, 2.26 GHz) Mavericks (10.9.5) running with a newly installed 1 TB HD previously I was running my most fat but my old iTunes library (12.3.1) hard drive out of my Time Capsule knew that it was a bad long-term solution has therefore updated the internal HD. I have also two external drives 4 to for backup.

    I copied all my files of music from the TC at the new internal drive and have disappeared in the iTunes preferences and changed my iTunes Media folder location for:

    / Users/username/music/iTunes/iTunes Music

    When I have my Time Capsule mounted all works fine (even if I'm missing some album artwork that was there yesterday before I disassembled the TC). When I disassemble the TC a window saying:

    "There was a problem connecting to the server"My name Time Capsule.""

    The server may not exist or it is not available at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection and then try again."

    After clicking on OK one iTunes window says:

    "The song 'xxx' could not be used because the original file cannot be found. You want to locate? »

    When I click on 'Yes', he takes me to a finder window titled "open type" at the top which is under 'Music' on the left side of the window.

    When I use Spotlight to search the iTunes Media folder it takes me to a window showing a path:

    Users > my name > music > iTunes > iTunes Music > music > iTunes Media

    The title of the record is "automatically add to iTunes". Get Info says that it is 152 KB 1 point, but when I open it it seems empty.

    Yesterday it was working fine. First I dragged everything music in iTunes, but it didn't work. When I opened the folder music and copy all the files (group names) using command + A to select all the and then slipped and fell in all copied iTunes on iTunes. Most of the work was there and I added the missing if necessary illustrations.

    Today, I'm having the problem described above with a huge loss or the cover of the album art. It seems that all the files on my TC are also on my internal HD Somethings doesn't. What Miss me? I understand my folder paths (?) are probably a bit redundant in some way or other, but I don't that would be the problem.

    Another thing I noticed. When I get the info on a track, it says the file path is:

    / Users/username/music/iTunes/iTunes Music track name / artist / Album / 01 1.m4a

    Yesterday, I searched for duplicates and trashed the duplicates with 1.m4a while keeping the same files without the 1 and just track .m4a name

    Changing preferences tells iTunes where start storing any future media that you add.  It does not get iTunes to inventory a location for old media.

    Looks like you were using an optimal inferiority configuration when your library has been shared between two discs. You have media in one place and all support files in another.  If you do it this way, you will have to use iTunes to move files by consolidating them to the new location.

    12 iTunes for Mac: change where your files stored iTunes - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19507 - unfortunately it is misnamed.  It should say "where your media files but not change where your library files are stored"-more information: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22026652#22026652 - and steps 5 to 8 in https://discussions.apple.com/message/24491967#24491967

    12/2015 https://discussions.apple.com/message/29475217#29475217 - "after you change the location of the iTunes Media folder to a different location, you must use the"consolidate library"command so that iTunes copy media files to the new location.  iTunes has to do, so that iTunes can keep track of where all the media files are stored.  It is a menu bar control->-> library-> organize the file library, and then consolidate the files (checkbox). "

    In your current situation, you can try to find a lead when iTunes asks you to locate him by going to the right file on your internal drive. If you're lucky iTunes will take time to try to reconnect to the others based on the location of this one track on the new disc.

  • Active stylus problems

    I guess most of the people are not with the active stylus or there are more messages on its irregular operation. For me this is not worth keeping without functioning active stylus. Sometimes it seems to work fine, but to, it often acts as if the pen is in contact with the screen, even when it's not. This seems to happen with all its functions, inking in OneNote, on the keyboard screen handwriting recognition, select icons... I have the latest firmware and drivers, I hope they are working on a fix, the latter has not solved the problem.

    For many, the A01 and A02 of the stylus versions work fine (I use both without problem on a daily basis).   For some, they are not quite right.

    If you are having problems with a black pen, please contact support to get a replacement of the newest A00 (silver/black) stylus.

This problem already known and is there a solution available?

    While most customers have good results with version A02 of the pen, there have been some exceptions.   You should not reset the pen like that.   I recommend contacting our assistance and asking new version A00 of the stylus.   The revision has changed back to A00 following a new part number.   The new stylus can be identified easily because it is silver and black instead of black.

  • Active FTP problem between Checkpoint and Cisco PIX

    Hello

    I am facing a strange problem.

    Many of our customers have achieved a Checkpoint FW-1/VPN-1 4.1 SP6 (the last before NG). When they try to connect to an FTP server that is located behind a Cisco PIX firewall, they are not able to transfer data: the connection is established, the authentication to follow, but at the stage of the 'LIST' the connection 'freeze' and the user must close the FTP client.

    Users are facing this problem ONLY in Active mode: passive mode works very well. Turn passive mode FTP client isn't acceptable workaround for most of my clients.

    The problem seems to be related only to the firewall Cisco PIX and active FTP.

    Please, what is someone encountered the same problem?

    Could someone give me any help?

    Thank you in advance.

    Paolo

    Yes it is a (global) problem, even with the last checkpoint firewalls. What happens with Active FTP, it's that each command (get, list, etc.) causes another log on the client (source port) to the server on port 21. If you run netstat from the customer you can check this for yourself.

    What normally happens, with HTTP, FTP, telnet, which have are, it's that the client makes a connection to port 21, 23 etc then returns with a port source such as 1936, 1980, 3000, etc..

    Connect problem with statefull firewall is they do not allow multiple sessions control port number on a destination, as well as a source port can be bound to a destination port, in this case, 21 for FTP. I Don t see it changed, an extreme security risk any time soon, since it s, someone else might be hopping session and block this type of traffic, it's what the stateful firewall are all about and FTP servers are problably the machines more pirated on the planet.

    You´ve mentioned the workaround solution, unfortunately that s the only way, change your passive customers, I think that Unix/Linux customers have a problem with this, change your FTP server can also help, there are multiple servers that can be configured to disable Active FTP, I wouldn know exactly, I only network & firewall... maybe someone else can move on this...
