How to fix iMessage activation errors on your iPhone
- iMessage activation error is a pop-up that says 'An error occurred during activation. Try again.'
- If you get an activation error, you'll only be able to send regular SMS messages instead of iMessages.
- To fix iMessage activation errors, first verify that iMessage is on and then restart your iPhone.
- If the previous fixes don't work, check Apple’s server status page and make sure your iPhone has a working internet connection.
- To kick-start the connection again, refresh your iMessage connection from Settings > Messages.
- Another fix is to sign out of your Apple ID and sign back in, which forces iMessage to reconnect when you log in again.
- If the date and time are incorrect on your iPhone, this can affect iMessage activation or make it not work properly.
- Make sure that you have the latest version of iOS to avoid any iMessage activation errors.
- If everything fails, perform a factory reset on your iPhone and contact Apple support or your cellular provider for more assistance.

I guess I learned how to appreciate The Phantom Menace
- Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace was released 25 years ago and was part of a cultural phenomenon.
- Rewatching Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace reveals it was as bad as it's remembered with its baffling narrative choices.
- However, Episode 1 has a certain charm, and did allude to certain modern day political machinations.
- The Phantom Menace is full of gorgeous imagery, such as the lush palace and aquatic Gungan city, and even all of Amidala's amazing outfits.
- Certain aspects of Episode 1 came across more significant in hindsight, such as the creation of Jar Jar Binks – the first motion-captured character
- The best way to watch The Phantom Menace is to take in the aspects you like and replace director George Lucas's baffling choices with your own head canon.
- It is still interesting to imagine how a more natural and energetic storyteller could have tackled The Phantom Menace, and it may have featured Anakin Skywalker more.
- Topher Grace's 85-minute edit of the Star Wars prequels made so much more sense; viewers should have just been shown the real story of Anakin Skywalker.
- Despite not being a cinematic masterpiece, The Phantom Menace is still part of the Star Wars franchise and a key part of its history.
- Fans of Star Wars may still learn to appreciate The Phantom Menace for what it represents: A time capsule film that helped bring new technology and techniques to the film industry.
