I can't activate FaceTime on my iPad.

I can't activate FaceTime on my iPad. Keep getting activation error "your user name/password is incorrect" even though both are correct and I'm using them to login to iTune and this support community even after i reset it to check!!
The iPad iOS is 6.0.1 and I'm in Canada so no country/region restriction. I've checked the date and time settings as mentioned on some support pages and restarted my iPad but still nothing.
I never used FaceTime before so all help is appreciated. Thanks!

  • TS4268 I can't activate FaceTime & iMessage on my iPad ... Would this have anything to do with already having these set up on my iPhone with the same apple ID?

    As long as you're logged into the same AppleID on both devices, this is not a problem.  It's only a problem if you're logged into a different AppleID and then try to associate FaceTime with an email that tied to the other AppleID.

  • Why does the iPhone 4 need to send an SMS to activate FaceTime when the iPad 2 doesn't?

    Hi there.
    I keep wondering why iPhone 4 need to send a international SMS to activate FaceTime when the iPad 2 doesn't?
    It cost's 2,50 dkr ($0.48) every time it does that.
    I have a mobile subscription where i get 5 hours talk time, Free SMS, Free MMS, Free talk to all with same subscription and 5GB data for 129 dkr/month ($24.77).
    But the internation SMS is not free.
    And it really bugs me that my danish iPhone has to send an SMS to England to acticate FaceTime that i only can use on WiFi.
    I also have a iPad 2 (WiFi model), and it can activate FaceTime fine via WiFi. So why can't the iPhone 4 do that?
    I really really need a good explanation to why i have to pay to activate FaceTime.
    Why can't you make local numbers to send the SMS too, or do it via WiFi just like the iPad 2.
    The strangest this is that you have to be on WiFi to use FaceTime, so why use the mobile network to activate FaceTime?

    Where are you, what network are you on and where did you get your phone?
    The fact that it uses SMS isn't really the issue here and no-one on this forum can answer the "why" question. We are end users, not Apple. The accepted answer is if it's going to tie facetime to your phone number (which it does) then that's the way it's got to work.
    The puzzling part is why it would be sending one to England... unless of course, you purchased the phone in the UK and actually live in another region entirely.

  • Can't activate FaceTime - won't verify email

    I can't activate FaceTime on the new ipad. I can sign in with my apple ID fine, but at the e-mail step it fails. No matter what e-mail address I put in there (including my apple ID), it spends about 30 seconds with a spinny icon saying "Verifying...", then says it couldn't verify, sent a verification email to the above address, follow the instructions in the email, but I NEVER GET AN EMAIL. I've done this perhaps 50 times over the last week and it always behaves the same.
    It's extra bizarre because I go through the exact same steps for FaceTime on my MacBook Air, and it verifies instantly, and I have made many succesful facetime calls using my Air. But I can't sign up on the iPad.

    HERE'S WHAT WORKED FOR ME: I signed out of Facetime on my mac and then I could sign in on my ipad. Suddenly after 50 attempts, my ipad verified instantly (it didn't even send an e-mail, it just verified instantly). I guess being signed in on my mac caused some kind of conflict on Apple's servers. Now for the funny part: I was immediately able to sign-in again on my mac and now both my pad and mac have working FaceTime. You just can't be signed in on your mac when you are trying to setup FaceTime for the first time on the iPad. I guess.

  • I can't activate Facetime or Messages using my apple id. I

    I can't activate Facetime or Messages on my iPad 2 using my apple id. It comes up with the message that my username or password is incorrect.
    But I can login to the app store using the same username/password.
    This problem is restricted to Facetime and Messages.
    Does anybody have a solution for me?

  • Can i download facetime on my ipad mini i bought it on UAE but im using my ipad in Philippines

    can i download facetime on my ipad mini i bought it on UAE but im using my ipad in Philippines

    As per an agreement between Apple and the govt of the UAE, devices sold in that country don't and can't ever have Facetime on them.
    If you want that program, you have to purchase an iPad outside of the countries that prohibit it.

  • I can't activate FaceTime & iMessage

    Dears,
         Yesterday I have been doing service (Find My iPhone) my wife
    Has erred and pressed on ( Erase iPhone ) and Already been cleared Contents,
    After that my wife was running iPhone.
    But there are two problems:
    1 - can't activate FaceTime by phone number, but by the Apple ID it's okay!
    2 - can't not activate iMassage by phone number, but by the Apple ID it's okay!
    You kindly help me
    Ahmad Binhimd

    If the device was remotely wiped using Fimd My iPhone it can take up to 24 hours for the phone number to verify using Facetime and iMessage.  Leave them turned on and do not toggle them off in that period of time.

  • Can't activate FaceTime since downloading ios7

    I can't activate FaceTime since downloading ios7

    The only thing that works for me and my iphone 5 was to backup my settings apps and email in Itunes (windows8). Restore the phone to factory default. After that  i got a question about location service for itunes/ facetime etc... I skipped the question and says "no"
    When the phone was reinstalled with factory defaults, I restored my apps etc... after that no more problems... The message when starting facebook, whatsapp about login to Itunes etc...is also gone...
    Hope it will work for you too... good luck

  • I bought iphone4 from Dubai, but live in India. How can I activate FACETIME without Jailbreaking it ?

    I bought iphone4 from Dubai, but live in India. How can I activate FACETIME without Jailbreaking it ?

    I'm only guessing here since I don't use Facetime myself but I think it depends on the model number of the phone. iPhones sold by UAE operators have unique model numbers and these do not get the Facetime app installed at all. Even in India, if you update or do a clean reinstall, you still the UAE-branded OS.
    Facetime is blocked because the voice and video goes over WiFi and this eats into the profits of the mobile operators. Most countries here in the Middle East block video and voice chatting over the Internet - not due to censorship - but because the government-owned operators here enjoy monopolies and want all video and voice to go over their networks for maximum revenue. I live in Oman where for example Skype is blocked simply because it is seen as a competitor to the government landline operator.

  • TS3367 Nowhere on my iPhone 4 can I activate FaceTime... I've tried using contacts, settings, and even when I call someone with an active FaceTime, the FaceTime icon is not lit up. Any suggestions?

    Nowhere on my iPhone 4 can I activate FaceTime... I've tried using contacts, settings, and even when I call someone with an active FaceTime, the FaceTime icon is not lit up. Any suggestions?

    There is no facetime icon and never was. Facetime is built into the phone.  Go to settings>general>restrictions and make sure facetime is ON.  Go to settings>facetime and turn it on there and set it up there.  Also read http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4268

  • Since I updated to Mountain Lion I can not activate Facetime

    Since I updated to Mountain Lion I can not activate Facetime.  Keep getting "The server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later."

    Back up all data.
    Take the steps suggested in this support article:
    FaceTime, Game Center, Messages: "There was an error processing registration" when signing in
    Sign out of iMessage:
    Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out
    Then sign back in with your verified credentials.
    If you get the same error, try resetting the NVRAM.

  • TS3367 How can I activate facetime over cellular (at&t) on my new iPad?

    I already downloaded and installed ios 6 to my new iPad. When I try to use facetime over my at&t plan, it says "activation required". Then I went to the at&t website, created at&t account, but I can not activate it. I tried to choose all account types to link them and activate, but it did not work. What should I do?

    AT&T has made it such that Facetime over 3G requires a "combined" data plan, contact them for details.
