For some reason i can't sign into imessage and facetime. PLEASE HELP???

Hey tcap8687,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with iMessage and FaceTime. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
If you have difficulty activating FaceTime or iMessage - Apple Support
If you see "Could not sign in, please check your network connection and try again" when signing in to your Apple ID
To resolve this issue, follow these steps.
Update to the latest version of iOS.
Verify that you have a data connection by going to www.apple.com in Safari. You can complete Apple ID activation using Wi-Fi or a cellular data connection. If you need help connecting to Wi-Fi, follow these steps.
If you're using Wi-Fi, make sure that your local Wi-Fi network is using the recommended Wi-Fi settings.
Sign in to your account and ensure that the primary email address and alternate e-mail addresses have been verified. If verification is pending, follow the instructions in the email Apple sent to that email address to complete verification. Or remove the e-mail addresses from the account.
If your Apple ID isn't an email address, you can change it. The Apple ID that you're using to activate FaceTime or iMessage must be an email address. Find more information on how to change your Apple ID.
Tap Settings > General > Date & Time. Make sure that your iPhone is set to the correct time zone. If Set Automatically is on but the wrong time zone appears, turn Set Automatically off and choose the correct time zone, date, and time.
Enable iMessage and FaceTime while connected to a different Wi-Fi network (in a different location) if a cellular data connection is not available.
You can see that you've activated FaceTime and iMessage with your Apple ID by following these steps.
Tap Settings > FaceTime > You can be reached by FaceTime at:
Tap Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You can be reached by iMessage at:
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

  • I have an iphone 4 and recently changed my apple id password. I went through the verification successfully. For some reason, I can't sign into the app store on my iphone using my apple id and password.

    Apple doesn't monitor here. Best we can do is to push you to contact Apple directly.

    Try a Reset of your Device...
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • I can't sign in imessages and facetime

    I can't sign in imessages and facetime !!

    ... we might need more info than that! why can't you sign in and what happens? any error message?
    if the issue happens when you're trying to reach someone who doesn't have an appleid or is not connected, then it's normal.
    also check in settings>general>date & time> and set automaticly ON, that's a problem with facetime and iMessage...

  • Can't sign into iMessages or FaceTime on my iPad2

    I'm unable to sign into iMessages or FaceTime on my iPad2. I'm able to sign into all other Apple Apps except those. Could someone assist me on how to rectify this problem?

    If you changed your appleID password, then try this one, which worked for me, after nothing else would. Log out and back in to iTunes on your Mac/PC.
    I had exactly the same problems as above, and no amount of network changes or even a full restore would help.
    Finally, I went back to my PC, launched iTunes, logged OUT of that, then signed in again, this time with the new password.
    Then I had to go back, and properly close Facetime and iMessages and sign in. It worked fine after that.
    (To properly close an application, double click the home button, then hold down on the facetime app logo in the multitasking bar at the bottom, then press the tiny symbol.)
    Best of luck.

  • Is anyone experiencing problems signing into imessage and FaceTime since upgrading iOS 6?

    Since upgrading to iOS 6, is there anyone who  have had problems signing into iMessage and face time? I need some assistance!

    I think I've fixed it !!
    not sure if this will work for everone but I noticed when you go on settings>messages>Send & Receive it was displaying my Apple ID twice and underneath where is says "You can be reached by iMessage at:" , it was displaying my email address twice as well, so I clicked on my Apple ID and signed out, restarted my ipod and signed back into iMessage in the settings and it just displayed my apple ID and email once. Next I restarted my router and my Ipod Touch 4g IOS 6 and it was working again !!! . Not sure if this will work for everyone but I just ****** around with it and it seems to be working for now anyway

  • My iphone 5 wont let me sign into imessage and facetime!

    I recently bought a iphone 5 from my aunt. I went to AT&T to go activate and switch over phones. (I had a iphone 3gs). I later went home and tried to log into my imessage and facetime, but it wouldnt let me. I keep trying and it says "iMessage Actavation - Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try agian". I have wifi so my internet can not be the problem & and my internet on my phone works great. I can sign into my itunes and icloud witout any problems. I tried turning my phone off and on, restore the iphone and reset the settings. Ive also tried calling my company but said they couldnt help. And I called Apple and told me to the same time ive already tried doing. I dont know what to do anymore. And im hoping someone can help me out! Thank you!

    One thing to remeber , this issue occurs because of poor wifi  or internet connection. If this isn't fault in your case, try these because it happens in all products of apple like mac,ipad mini,ipod touch..
    Check you apple id and sign in again.
    Change you DNS to open DNS or Reset you network settings.
    Reboot you iphone once.

  • Okay, I'm deployed overseas and I just bought an iPad the other day, and I can't get apps because for some reason I can't sign up for iTunes, it's been like 4 days where it says error after I fill out my information for iTunes account

    Any suggestions?

    Hi and keep safe!
    My links to websites are much more basic (when I first read this I hoped Texas Mac Man would respond to you and he did!)
    My guess is you probably have wireless where you are and might have a computer, but not knowing for sure...
    We set my husband's up this Summer, and for whatever reasons used my Apple ID and itunes so he could share our itunes libraries (already paid for shows and movies) and cd's I uploaded to my mac.
    So you might be beyond this basic stuff, but it might help.
    Also, please note that you can now set up an itunes account without a credit card. If you decide to do that, you can ask family at home to buy itunes cards and give you the #'s without having to mail them to you because you might or might not get them.
    You can download a manual at Apple.com which might help you with any problems you encounter.
    You will need to sync your ipad with your computer.
    If you have/had an ipod, mac book, etc., you're apple id on your ipad will be the same. A couple of weeks ago our younger son bought an ipad before he went back to school. He could not create accts, etc., but then realized he was already set up with his ID from when he got his very first ipod years ago.
    Sign up for the cloud for back-up.
    Get find my ipad - free app in App store.
    And get gotcha (not sure where - my son's looking into it.) But if someone takes your ipad and turns it on, a picture of him/her is automatically e-mailed to you and you can go from there to hopefully retrieve it.
    So please check out

    Hope this helps, and again, keep safe.

  • Can't sign into iTunes - luddite newbie - please help!

    Hi,
    Just bought an iPod touch refurb, 3G but I haven't upgraded the OS system to 10.5 from the pre-installed 3.1.3 if I'm not misunderstanding things.
    I'm running an iMac (2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo) purchased approx Nov 2007 running OS 10.4.11. I've upgraded my iTunes to the 9.2.1 release, set up an Apple ID and when I try to sign in to iTunes I get told the ID hasn't been used on iTunes yet (this much I knew already), I then get asked to review my account details before I'm almost immediately told "Your session has timed out. Try again."
    I've done a search for fixes, but if I'm honest, most of it is beyond me technically. Can anyone help please?
    Many thanks in advance,
    Kev

    Call off the dogs!
    I used my iPod to sign into iTunes, which then allowed me to create the iTunes account properly, then, hey presto, I was able to sign in to the iTunes store on the mac!

  • I can't sign into iMessage or FaceTime

    On FaceTime, when I open it, it asks for my Apple ID and password, I enter it, it says that people will reach me at my email so i click next, then it says "verified" at the top, and then it goes back to the original screen with a message in red saying "The server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later" EVERYTIME
