I'm beyond frustrated at this point. I have honestly tried everything! SOMEONE please tell me how to activate my iMessage feature. I keep getting the error pop-up also some of my apps are crashing, even after deleting them and downloading them back. Any suggestions?

By everything do you mean you've even tried a brand new reinstall without a backup?

Everything is backed up to my laptop dear. Do you have any suggestions?
If you have it all backed up, you may want to try to restore your iPhone - this, using iTunes, erases the iPhone completely, downloads a brand new copy of iOS and installs it. Sometimes, a live update can corrupt existing data.

When it's done, you iPhone is essentially brand new. After this, you have the option to restore the backup you made, which will put your data and settings back on it.

Hope it helps.
