After having updated iso 7.1 on my Iphone 4 ,i cannot sign in for Imessage and Facetime

After having updated ios 7.1 on my Iphone 4 ,cannot sign in for imessage and Facetime?

Having the same issue but it seems to be everything - messages, phone, contact, viber. It's made my phone completely useless!! I open it, opens it, doesn't load anything but the white page and then it goes back to the home screen.
I can't even go back to a phone back up as it wont connect to itunes any more - says it needs to be updated - app store has no update for itunes.

I cannot sign in with iMessage and FaceTime.

My pad run out of battery, after recharge I was no more able to sign in with iMessage and FaceTime.

:go to settings on ipad, click on wifi, then on the right hand side just next to your wifi name there is a blue arrow, click on the blue arrow & look below, there will be a field called DNS, IN the DNS server field just copy and paste the following DNS servers, do not edit anything , just put as it is and also make sure they are no spaces at the start or at the end
208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220
this should definitely work

Cannot sign in to iMessage and Facetime with Apple ID (only one or the other)

Hi
I have an iPhone 5 running the latest iOS (on AT&T), not jailbroken.
I have recently got family to use Facetime and have been using it more and have noticed I am unable to use my Apple ID for both Facetime and iMessage- if I am signed in to one of them, I am 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...
Anyone else had this problem? Anyone solved it?

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?

Cannot sign in to iMessage/FaceTime

Ever since I upgraded to iOS 7, on my WiFi-only iPad Mini, when I tried to sign in to iMessage or FaceTime, I get this message:
"iMessage (FaceTime) Activation: could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again."
I've tried many ways to solve this issue, including:
- Rebooting my iPad
- Reset network connections
- Connecting via a different ISP.
- setting DNS server to 8.8.8,8.
- Setting Date/Time to "Set Automatically"
- Stuffing with airplane mode.
The only thing I've not tried is to do a backup, reset and erase all and restore. I don't want to go along that route because it is **** of a time-consuming thing to do and there's no guarantee that it'll work. I simply don't have the time to do that.
I've looked around the Net and Twitter and I know there's a lot of people having this issue too.
Can Apple fix this? It's already 10 days already and Apple has no comment, solution and fix to this problem?

MacBook Pro keeps asking to sign into iCloud, iMessage, and FaceTime

My wife's MacBookPro11,3 keeps asking her to sign into iCloud, iMessage, and FaceTime, non of which she uses. She keeps clicking on cancel, but they just keep popping back up, one after the other. She is using OS 10.9.3. Any suggestions how to stop this non-stop cycle? We've tried re-starting the computer, but that didn't help. I didn't see anything in preferences that I could turn off. She has just moved the pop-up window over to the edge of the screen so she can keep using the computer. Thanks.

Do you mean logging in and out of the MacBook Pro, or in and out of iCloud, iMessage, and FaceTime? I will have her try logging in and out of the MacBook Pro.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Hello cindydenenberg, many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
If clearing cookies doesn't work then maybe the '''cookies.sqlite''' file that stores the cookies is corrupted. Try to rename, or delete, '''cookies.sqlite '''(cookies.sqlite.old) and delete also '''cookies.sqlite-journal''' (if exist) in Firefox [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data#w_how-do-i-find-my-profile profile folder] in case the file cookies are corrupted.
Thank you.

TS2755 I can't sign in to iMessage or FaceTime.

I can't sign in to iMessage or FaceTime. I put my password in and click "Sign In," but then it doesn't verify my email. It says that a verification email was sent to my email address, but I never get an email. There are no emails from Apple in my inbox or my spam.
