Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime not working and giving repeating popups

So I have recently found my lost iPad after about a year and when I turn it on, it's giving me never ending popups for my iMessage and FaceTime apple ID, which says is incorrect. i now have an iPhone 5c whose email I switched because my old one (aka the one my iPad is set up to) got disabled. On my phone, my iTunes/App Store and iMessage/FaceTime Apple ID is my new email but my iCloud is still the same. I decided to reset my Apple ID through my iCloud though I typed in my new email since I thought it'd change it. Now, my iMessage is messed up where I can't text my friends in other countries (though I can with my friends in the same country though it's not as an SMS), my iMessage won't activate, I'm not sure if my friend can even see the messages, and I don't know what to do.
If it helps any, I deleted my iPad from my iCloud for backup storage space. Also, I don't know if I'm posting this in the right area as I'm mainly talking about my iPhone 5c but it also has to do with my iPad mini
Also, I just tried signing into my old Apple ID in iCloud on my phone with my new password and it worked and my old one didnt

Set up Facetime with your new Apple ID: tap Settings > Facetime > Apple ID > Sign out. Later log in with your latest Apple ID.
Set up iMessage with new Apple ID: tap Settings >Messages > Send & Receive > tap the Apple ID to sign out > later, sign in with your new Apple ID.

  • IMessage and FaceTime not working on Mac Pro and message stating to contact Support came on

    iMessage and FaceTime not working on Mac Pro and a message stating to contact Support came on with a verification code.  It was working on 8/29 but stopped on 8/30.  When I called support to even speak with anyone they wanted $19.  I don't want to pay $19 for an Apple problem.  I cleared my key chain, also reset my apple ID password but still not working.  Works fine on my iPhone.

    There is no official public documentation of that error message as far as I know, but according to reports, it can mean (at least sometimes) that the same Apple ID is being used with the iTunes Store or one of the other Apple content stores, and the payment method is invalid. Sign in to the store and review your account. You do not, of course, have to provide any billing information to set up an account to use only with iMessage, as it's a free service.
    Otherwise, do what the error message tells you to do. According to reports, you won't be charged for the call if you select "Apple ID" as the product you need support for, and cite the customer code in the alert as the "validation code" to the support representative.

  • IMessage and Facetime Not Working - Cannot Log Into Apple ID.

    Hello,
    Some background: iMessage and Facetime are not working. Both applications are saying that I am not typing in the correct password for my Apple ID. Needless to say, the applications are wrong and I am using the correct password.
    Some background:
    1) This is an iPhone 5.
    2) It is running iOS 6.0.2.
    3) I am on Verizon.
    4) I am located in the continental US.
    5) I have a full e-mail address for my Apple ID username.
    6) iMessage and Facetime are both working on my iPad, using the same login information.
    7) All other applications that use Apple ID, such as the App Store, are not having this type of log in issue.
    8) This issue occurs regardless of whether I am connected to wi-fi or just the mobile carrier, or both.
    Troubleshooting I have tried to fix this issue:
    1) I have changed my Apple ID password. This did not work.
    2) I have changed my Apple ID username/email. This did not work.
    3) I have played around with Date/Time setting changes. This did not work.
    4) I have reset all settings. This did not work.
    5) I have tried hard restarts of the phone. This did not work.
    6) I have performed a restore from backup of the phone. This did not work.
    7) I have performed a full factory restore of the phone. This did not work.
    Apple Support is at a total loss on how to fix this. I have now had multiple frustrating phone support sessions with them with zero results. If you do some searching, it appears there is no way that anyone knows of to fix this issue once all the troubleshooting I have listed above has failed. People have had to acquire brand new phones in order for these applications to work again.
    Obviously this is unacceptable.
    There are a lot of smart people on these forums fixing tech issues like this. Anyone have any input?

    randers4, thank you for the suggestions.
    1) I have contacted Verizon and they are not blocking "premium" or 3rd party text messages.
    2) The Apple ID login issue occurs regardless of wi-fi network location, or even if I am not on wi-fi at all. Router settings are irrelevant to this problem.
    3) I have already played around extensively with date and time settings. This did not fix any issues.
    Any other suggestions? I had another call with Apple support and they are of the opinion that I may need to have the phone totally replaced, which is unacceptable unless it is free of charge.

  • Fix for imessage and facetime not working in iOS5

    I HAVE THE SOLUTION - It's worth shouting about!
    will work on itouch as well
    Upgraded 3 devices to IOS5. iphone 4, iPad 2 and iTouch (4th Gen). iMessage activates but during sending message it get stuck at 90%, Facetime stopped working on all 3 devices! All connected through a home network  No luck with any of the suggestions on the internet as to the cause of the problems.
    Took iphone and iTouch to work, connected on the open Wi-Fi there and hey presto both iMessage and Facetime started working!  What the ****?  Brought the devices home and they continued to work on my home network.  Still no luck with the iPad 2 sending to either of the other devices or connecting on Facetime.
    It struck me that there appeared to be an issue with the activation process ( even though it said activation successful at home).  The most likely cause is the DNS server not passing the data through correctly.
    I checked my DNS setting on my router and they were set to Open DNS (208.67.222.220), maybe using Google Public DNS would work?  But I didn’t need to mess with the router settings, the DNS on the apple device overrides the router setting. I set the Pad DNS (in Wi-Fi settings) to the Google DNS and straight away a mass of “stuck” test messages came through and I could also send iMessages.  Facetime also started working! Yippee! Success!  I reset the DNS back to its original value after I finished and it still works ok ( this is optional as Google DNS is good to use as default).
    So here’s the fix.... it’s so simple!!
    Settings > WiFi > find the active wifi network ( the one with the tick)
    Click the blue arrow> find the DNS entry ( 4th item down), note it’s value.
    In the DNS field – type in 8.8.8.8
    Click the “home button” and then try iMessage and Facetime.
    (it’s up to you if .want to set the DNS back to it’s old value)

    Your solution works like magic! Thank you very much!

  • IMessage and FaceTime not working for over a day now - iPad2

    I updated my iPad 2 to ios 6 on the 27th, everything worked fine on the 28th but my iMessage and FaceTime stopped working since the 29th. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem? I have practically tried everything but nothing seems to work. I am so frustrated. Is it my iPad's problem or is it Apple's? I would appreciate any suggestion and help. Thanks.

  • New phone - iMessage and Facetime not working with number?

    I had a 4s and recently got a 5s, and now iMessage on my Mac only has my email as an option. My phone number is the same. I searched around for a solution, and one involved signing out and back into both iMessage and Facetime on my Mac, so I did, and now Facetime has the same problem. I really do not want to log into my Apple ID in iMessages on my phone because I tried that a few days ago and had all kinds of problems with sending and receiving messages. Currently, my phone is sending and receiving with my phone number, which is checked but also grayed out in Settings. I am running OS X 10.8.3. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

  • IMessages and FaceTime not working on MacBook Pro

    P.S: Both iMessages and FaceTime are working on my iPhone with same account.

  • Imessages and facetime not working on ipad 3 mini since update to 8.3

    brand new ipad 3 mini i-messages and facetime was working until update to IOS 8.3. can anyone help. I've restored ipad and set up as new but still same.

    If none of this suggestions help, you are in the same boat a bunch of us are in! We all have newish devices (mostly iPad mini 3) and suddenly can't get into FaceTime or Messages. There's no slider and the sign in just dumps us back to sign in or gives a network error message.
    If that's what's happening, it's probably an AppleID problem. Mine isn't working for FaceTime or Messages on any iPad, but my friend's works on mine. If you go to page 18, you will see what we've tried after 8.2 upgrade

  • Freezing mac and facetime not working

    my facetime is not working and sometimes(once in a week) my mac freezing and after 4 seconds is rebootin itself..why is that happening?

    Sometimes turning off then on the service in settings will fix the problem. Go into 'Settings > Messages' and swipe the iMessage switch 'OFF' and swipe it 'ON' again. Tap on "Received At" and make sure the correct Apple ID is entered or enter your Apple ID if prompted. You then want to ensure in the same menu that all the desired addresses are entered.
    Perform the same task for FaceTime. Open 'Settings > FaceTime' and swipe the FaceTime switch 'OFF' and swipe it 'ON' again. Make sure that the Apple ID entered is correct or enter your Apple ID if prompted. Again check that all the addresses you want to be reached at are correctly entered and verified.
    If the above does not work, make sure that your email addresses ARE NOT registered with a different Apple ID. Hope this helps!

  • [solved] mouse and keyboard not working (and previous fix wont work)

    i made a clean default setup with
    arch
    latest kernel - 2.6.29 i think
    xorg 1.6.1
    video-intel-legacy
    on a 865G intel box + tried usb and ps2 keyboards + usb mouse
    when i start X the mouse and keyboard dont work (and i have to hard reset the box) in all of the setups i tried. the AutoAddDevices fix suggested before does not work this time
    - without xorg.conf
    - with auto-generated xorg.conf (X -confogure)
    - with the automatic conf +
    Section "ServerFlags"
    Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
    EndSection
    - with tiny xorg.conf containing only
    Section "ServerFlags"
    Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
    EndSection
    - with dbus/hal enabled and disabled in rc.conf
    how i make it work
    Last edited by ash (2009-04-30 19:01:41)

    the setup that works to me now is
    automatic xorg.conf with the AutAddDevices False (disable hotplug) lines
    dbus and hal enabled in deamons
    this lines instruct xorg to use xf86-input-mouse/keyboard instead of evdev. ie it looks like with evdev there is no point in xf86-input-mouse/keyboard
