My iMessage and Facetime won't work..

My iMessage and Facetime won't work..Messages weren't sending and whenever I call someone using Facetime, it always says 'Failed'. I'm quite ****** with it. Someone know what to do????

I guess I will be the one to ask the obvious question...does the one recieving the messages have ios5?
I have tried to sens messages to other iProducts and they wouldn't go through...turns out they didn't have ios5.
Just a thought.

  • My iMessaging and FaceTime is not working. What do I do?

    Okay, I have had my 4th generation iPod touch for 4 months and I have gotten the updates too. I have been trying
    To get it to iMessage my friends, well every time i try, it says error occurred or just won't send to the iPod or iPhone carrier
    (The person that has one) I could send one to myself but that was it. Now it won't do that anymore. I have tried and tried and changed my password three times.
    Still nothing. What do I do and how can I get it to iMessage and FaceTime my friends. Because honestly this is getting to be a headache.
    Thank you,
    XoXoSmiles54

    What I had to was backup my device's data to either iCloud or iTunes. Once it was backed up I erased all of my settings as if my iPad just came out of the box. You set it up again and it will asked you to either start as new, back up from iTunes, or back up from ICloud. If you want to see if everything works you can set up as new, otherwise just pick the choice depending on where you backed up your information. Eventually it will restore all of your information and your iMessage and FaceTime should be working. It worked for me, if you'd like more/better instructions let me know!!

  • IMessage and FaceTime won't accept my Apple ID after upgrading to Mountain Lion

    iMessage and FaceTime won't accept my Apple ID in order to activate after upgrading to Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro.
    My Apple ID works to sign in to the App store as well as on my iphone and iPad.
    What do I need to do?

    This Apple doc might help ya out -> iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation
    Troubleshooting Apple ID activation
    After each step, toggle  iMessage and FaceTime off and then on again in Settings > Messages and Settings > FaceTime.
    Update to the latest version of iOS.
    Ensure that you have an active Internet connection. Check your Wi-Fi network using standard Wi-Fi network troubleshooting.
    If you receive an error when signing in to your Apple ID, visit myinfo.apple.com, sign in to your account, and ensure that the primary email address has been verified.
    Ensure that FaceTime has not been restricted: Settings > General > Restrictions > FaceTime.
    In Settings > General > Date & Time, ensure that Set Automatically  is on. If Set Automatically is on, but the incorrect time zone is displayed, turn Set Automatically off and then choose the correct time zone, date, and time. Then turn Set Automatically on again.
    Enable  iMessage and FaceTime while connected to another Wi-Fi network in a different location.

  • IMessage and Facetime won't activate on new iphone 5.  Both indicate "Waiting for Activation."  How do I fix?

    iMessage and Facetime won't activate on new iphone 5.  Both indicate "Waiting for Activation."  How do I fix?

    I just activated a new iphone 4s and restored from a backup of my former iphone 3gs - had the same problem - Waiting for Activation on both facetime and imessage. I tried all the usual fixes, reset all, hard reset, turn facetime/imessage on and off, and on and on. 2 hours on phone with tech support to no avail.
    I just found the fix on my own - no clue if it will work for everyone. But it's ridiculously easy and worth a shot so you don't waste hours and hours resetting/synching as I did.
    All I did was go into settings>phone>my number - erase it by touching the ">". Then re-enter it making sure to input with the "+" and country code. For example in the US: +1(508) 569-9901
    No hard reset necessary. I went into settings>facetime and imessage, immediately after inputting my phone number again and the dreaded "waiting for activation" message was gone. I tested sending a message - came thru to the other party fine and facetiming another device (my mom's ipad some distance away) and it rang thru with everything working properly i.e., video/audio.

    My iMessage and facetime is not working after updating to ios 7...
    Any answers on how to fix it?  I've tried to restart, restore connected to itunes, but nothing.

    ACTIVATING FACETIME AND IMESSAGES
    Activating Facetime and Imessages on your phone requires the ability to send SMS messages and depending upon where you are that might be an international SMS.  Check with your carrier to see if your plan supports sending of international SMS messages.  If you are having trouble activating Facetime or Imessages turn them both off on your device and reset the device (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost)).  Wait for the device to restart and wait a minute and turn Facetime and imessage back on and wait for activation.  If that does not fix things read the following articles:

    I had an iphone 4s and it worked nice with facetime and imessage using my phone number but  it was stolen on December so I buy a new iphone 4s using the same cellphone number  but now imessage and facetime does not work with my number, it only works with my apple ID.   Please Help me I speak Spanish so  if my English is not ok  I´m sorry about it.
    Do you think that apple has to   reset in their database of the old serial number attached with my phone number and that’s why I can´t activate imessage and facetime with my number in the new iphone 4s?? 

    I understand all of this Meg; that is why I bought an Iphone; but never expected my phone not even give a at least a 24 or even 12 hours....I work 12 hour shifts and also would expect to have to charge each night but not twice a day or more.  I am not always somewhere I can charge my phone.
    Your points are true; however it doesn't help me......
