I can't log in on iMessage and Facetime on iOS7

I tried to activate iMessage and Facetime on my iPhone 4S with iOS 7. They won't let me log in. On imessage it is just sending everything in a text message not an imessage. Facetime wont even work. Every time I try, a message pops up and says, "Try to connect to network availability..." My wifi is working. It is working on my moms iphone 5.

back your Iphone up onto itunes. MAKE SURE YOU DO THIS. otherwise you will lose everything.
go to your iphone, and hit settings < General < Reset < Erase all content and settings. Once you do this. youll ned to go into itunes on your computer and restore your backup. this will take about 10 minutes or so. After that. your imessage should be working. you will lose all your music, but as long as your bought them off itunes it wont be problem putting them back on your Iphone.
after hours of talking to Apple tech, telling me i just have to wait. I took a shot in the dark and it fixed.. give it a shot. just make sure you back up your iphone into itunes from your computer.
hope this helps everyone!

Can't log on to iMessage and FaceTime????

I purchase the new iPad that just came out and I can not sign on to iMessage or face time. Please help!!!!

All,
I am having the same problem with my new iPad (wifi+4G LTE).
When I try signing into iMessage using my Apple Id & password, it would momentarily show a message box with Next button on it & straight after that it would show the Sign In screen again. And obviously, it doesnt sign me in to iMessage or enable it.
I have tried the following things, but they dint help:
1. Reset Network settings
2. Sign out of from Settings -> Store -> Apple Id
3. Change DNS to Google's public DNS 8.8.8.8
4. Changing Apple Id password
5. Hard Resetting iPad.
Could anyone please help?
Cheers,
Jay
P.S. I am only using Wi-Fi on my iPad at the moment, as I havent got a data plan as yet.

Can't sign in on iMessage and FaceTime after upgrading to ML

After doing a clean install of ML, I can't login anymore to iMessage and FaceTime. I'm correctly login to iTunes, AppStore and on my iPhone iMessage works good.
The error is "Il server ha rilevato un errore durante l'elaborazione della registrazione. Riprova pi tardi"
or in english
"The server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later."
The problem is in ML because with Snow Leopard I hadn't a single problems. I'm on iMac 21.5'' late 2009.
Thanks

it didn't work for me. instead, it created more problem.
inexplicably, now i have duplicate inactive imessage account which i don't know how to remove!
instead of looking for ways to activate the imessage & factime, now need to fix another thing...
another thing which i tried reading the thread was to log in using safe mode. it didn't help either. same "The server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later." problem. it was too laggy and had to force a shut down. rechecked disk permission and found a host of permission problems.
sigh...
more problems....
apple support is closed for holiday...

I recently updated my IOS using the beta found on an iTunes account link... Ever since then I've been unable to log into my iMessages and FaceTime account through my iTunes. The only explanation it gives me is that my connection was lost.... What to do?

It was downloaded through my iTunes account... So im sure it wasn't pirated. It's nothing more than a beta test to work out the bugs. But do u have any suggestions as to how i can about redownloading the same iOS but now the 'bugs' should be all worked out....

HT4436 Hey I received an email saying someone logged onto my iMessage and FaceTime. Does that happen after you update the iphone? I just downloaded the new upgrade.

I spoke too soon. I tried Facetime again last night and had the same problems. Another factory reset did not work. I think it may be time to just call Apple support.

Why can't I use my imessage and facetime using my wifi at home?

I can't use my imessage and facetime over the wifi at my home?
At first I can't verify my account. It says that theres a connection problem.
But I tried using a wifi at mcdonalds it works just fine to verify my account.
Then I tried it back at my house wifi. Yet again it couldn't sent any messages or anything for that matter.

HT204408 How can I sign into both iMessages and FaceTime?

I somehow lost connection with both iMessages and FaceTime on my iMac and now unable to sign in. I am able to access both the App Store and iTunes Store with my Apple ID and password. I went through the steps suggested in the help section (TS3970) and all appears fine. I am operating on a iMac running OS X Yosemite version10.10.2 I do not experience any problems on my IOS devices (IOS 8) running iMessages and FaceTime if this means anything.

I of course already checked and I also checked iTunes, where else can I check?

We have three Ipads in our house. We have one itunes account with multiple devices like two Iphones and Apple TV. My question is about our three Ipads. How can I set up the imessaging and facetime on all three devices while only using one Itunes acct

Okay. We have three Ipads in our house with only one Itunes account. When I go into imessaging and facetime on each of the devices, it wants to start switching my wife's cell phone and then the three emails associated with each Ipad to the contact information for all of the Ipads. As of this morning, only the imessaging and facetime are turned on my wife's iphone and ipad. My kids imessaging and facetime is turned off. Do you really have to have an itunes account for each device to make then work??? Any help would be very much appreciated.

There is only one solution. Each user must have their own separate user account. All of their respective data would be contained in their separate user accounts. This also means each will have a separate iTunes Library. If you all use the same third-party apps, then each will have to purchase their own copies under their own Apple IDs. Some data sharing is possible. See:
iTunes- How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one
iTunes- How to share music and video
iTunes- How to share music between different accounts on a single computer

Apple id for kids not logging in to imessage and facetime

I created a new apple id for my child and added it to my family sharing.
I have used the apple id to successfully login to icloud and the itunes store on the ipod.
But it keeps rejecting the same account for imessage and facetime - error message is to check my network connection.
Has anyone got a solution for this?
Marina

I had similar problem, and tried everything mentioned in the forums to fix it. Then, randomly, I tried to send an imessage from my iphone to my daughter (who ONLY has imessage through her email, and therefore NO cellular option to receive) and Bingo- a box popped up asking me to sign in to my Apple account. Then it worked fine for everyone. I don't know why it didn't think I was signed in, because I had signed in everywhere- but that was the fix.

Can't sign in to iMessage and Facetime with my Apple ID, only one or the other

I have an iPhone 5 running iOS 6.1.2 on AT&T.
I've noticed I am unable to use my Apple ID for both Facetime and iMessage; if I am signed in to one of them, I'm unable to sign in to the other. I get in a loop of the phone repeatedly popping up a password entry screen for the Apple ID.
If I cancel the process and sign out of either, I can successfully sign in to the other. But no matter which I sign into first, I cannot sign in to both at the same time. >__< It's working fine on my other iDevices (iPad 1, iPhone 4), this is the only one having the issue. The issue has been happening since my purchase of the iPhone 5 last year.
Any ideas on a fix? It's driving me nuts. I've even just restored my phone and still receiving the exact same issue. Thanks in advance for any help as I am at a loss. ;(

I THINK I might have found out a fix. First, I went in and signed into iMessages, but left Facetime logged out. I then went in Settings and turned off FaceTime altoghter. Afterwards I went to ensure iMessages was still signed in (Paranoia perhaps lol). Then I went back in and re-enabled FaceTime. The information was inserted back in, but Caller ID for Facetime was unchecked, so I selected my email address instead of phone. And both have oddly been working fine and stayed signed in since. No password requests at all.
I have zero clue why this works, but it does. I only figured it out thanks to obcessive behavoir and inablilty to accept it was broken lol. Anyone else with the issue want to confirm if it works for them as well?

I can't log in to iMessage or FaceTime.

I just restored my phone and installed the new update. I have tried all of the solutions people have suggested and nothing will work.
