I changed my apple ID password and now facetime cannot verify my e-mail address.  I have tried changing my password back but still recieve the same pop up window telling me that the email could not be verified and to check my network but have wifi working

Please help.  I changed my apple id password and now cannot use facetime and my icloud continues to prompt me for my password and I continue to give it but, I repeatedly am prompted for the password unless I cancel the icloud.  I have tried changing my password back to the password I had before and this did not work.  I have tried to use another e-mail address for facetime and had verified that e-mail address and this did not work.  I do not know how to fix this problem.  I have thought about changing my apple id but am not sure how I would be able to carry over the same credit card number to the new apple ID.  I loved my Mac book Pro because I could facetime my boyfriend while I am working away and now I cannot.  I am starting to hate Mac.

The idea to jumpstart by change was not the smartest one, but gives you an opportunity to use that "temporary" account as permanent. You do not have a choice cause obviously despite you thinking that old account is no more -it does exist on Apple servers. And if you are unwilling to share your [email protected] with friend, just create one extra [email protected] for your friend. One suggestion - do not use gmail.

  • Why am I not about to use my Apple ID for iMessage? I have typed the password correctly and the only thing that appeared was "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again"

    I am not able to use my iMessage after updating to iOS 7.0.2. Although I have tried to sign in as many times as possible, a sign writing "could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again". My network bar is 4-5/5 but I still could not sign in.

  • I am beginning to frequently get a message that an email could not be sent and to retry or cancel but all settings are correct and it usually sends a 2nd time

    Have been using Thunderbird for years and it has worked just fine. Have not made any changes to any of the settings. My boyfriend also used T'bird for years but last year it stopped sending messages and he finally had to stop using it. My T/bird is beginning to act the way his did. I will write a message and press send and then a window will open saying the message couldn't be sent and to retry or cancel. Usually a retry will work. Sometimes I get a message asking me to enter my password (I don't even think I have one or if I do I don't know what it is because I have never logged in to send email). So I'm worried that my T/bird program is beginning to fail like his did. I don't want to lose the use of the program and all my saved emails and addresses, mail groups, etc. My OS is Windows 7.

    That sounds exactly like an issue that has plagued McAfee users for around a year.
    Try disabling email scanning in your anti virus program.

    I have different account ID's with my iphone and computer.
    I would like to standardize both to just the one.
    One of the ID's doesn't work, when I tried to list this second email with the preferred one a message telling me that this email is already in use pops up.. yes it is, with me??
    Is there an easy to fix this please, Fabfitz

    If the email address you want to use is being used as the primary email address on a different ID you have to manage that ID and change it to a different primary email address.  This explains how: Change your Apple ID - Apple Support.
    If it is being used as an alternate or rescue address on a different ID, you manage the ID and either remove it or change it to a different email address.  This explains how: Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses - Apple Support.

  • HT5622 When trying to sign in to Face Time, I continually get Face Time Activation "Could not sign in.  Please check your network connection and try again"  I have reset my Apple ID and my Password and I am successfully logging into Safari.  What am I doi

    When trying to sign in to Face Time, I continually get "Face time Activation"  "Could not sign in.  Please check your network connection and try again".  I am able to access the internet via Safari, so my network connection seems to be working.  What am I doing wrong, and how can I access Face Time?

    Hey sklingen,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues signing into FAceTime. The following article may help to resolve your issue:
    iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4268
    You may also want to reset your network settings:
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Note: this will delete any network related settings (saved Wi-Fi passwords, etc), it will not erase any content from your device.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • I am getting the following message when I try to connect to iMessage on my Macbook Pro: Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again.

    I am not sure what is going on but I am unable to sign into my iMessage. I am trying to sign in but I keep getting the message: "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again."  I can log into iTunes and all other things that request my Apple ID except the iMessage. I hope someone can help me out.

  • TS1398 I cannot activate my iMessage on my ipad. I get a message that says "Could not sign in. Please check your network connections and try again." But my internet and browsing works great.  I don't undersand. Any ideas of what to try?

    I am trying to activate iMessage. I receive a message that says "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again." I connection is strong. I can browse the internet but cannot connect to iMessages. I don't understand. Any ideas.

    Turn iMessage off and then on again, wait a few minutes.
    Turn Airplane mode on and then off again, turn iMessage off and then on again, wait a few minutes.
    Make sure your iPad is on Wi-Fi, reboot your iPad, turn iMessage off and then on again, wait a few minutes.
    Wait and try again later -- Apple's servers can get overwhelmed or experience outages just like anyone else's.

  • Why do I get an error message while I am setting up iMessage that reads "could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again." Funny thing is internet Safari works just fine.

    As the subject line. When I try to activate either iMessage or FaceTime I get this error message "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again." Funny thing Safari works just fine with my network connection. The device in question is an iPhone4. iOS 7.06
