I tried using the [addwitnessaddress address] in bitcoin core and go an error code 4 (segwit not activated on the network yet). Is there a reason for this does anyone know? The only thing I can think of is that my bitcoin core version is not fully synced yet with the network/blockchain and that might be causing the problem but other than that...

I would think that it is that. If its not synced it does not know segwit is activated yet.
