TS4268 Imessage and Facetime ID

i have a new ipad mini. when trying to sign in using my apple ID for imessage and FaceTime. it shows that apple id or password is incorrect. help please

Go to Settings>>Message>>Send&Receive and check if your Apple ID was set or not. If not, set it properly.
If it is still not working, unsign your Apple ID and select your mobile number ("+" "country code" "mobile number").
Also check in: Settings>>Message if you turned on iMessage before. Here, turn off "Show Subject Field".
Did you turn on iCloud as well?

TS4268 iMessage and FaceTime are saying check the network connection and try again.

iMessage and Facetime started saying check the network connection and try again two days ago.

This same issue occurred with my IPhone 4S after updating to most recent iOS last week.
I tried http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4268 - this unfortunately did not help.
Suggestions?

TS4268 iMessage and Facetime activation ISSUES

I had inserted my friend's SIM card in my iPhone when i first bought it. A few hours later I inserted my new SIM card into the phone. Everything worked fine besides iMessage and Facetime. After a day Facetime started working and started to display my number as the default one (Earlier, it used to display my friend's number). However, iMessage is not yet activated. It still shows my friend's number when i check the settings and all i see is that its "waiting for activation". My wi-fi and 3G connections are working fine. Have laready tried switiching the phone off and restarting it. Have also put my number in the 'Phone settings". No matter what I'm doing, the my number is not being displayed in iMessage and only my friend's number is showing.
Please help.

Back up your data and do a reset all settings. This should work.
Settings > Geenral > Reset > Reset All settings In case this does not work connect to your iphone and make sure you atake a back up again and then restore. This will definately work.
Cheers,

TS4268 iMessage and FaceTime activation

iMessage and FaceTime have always worked on my ipad until now. Now I keep trying to activate both and I keep getting the warning to check the network settings but everything is fine. I even did a reset. Is there anything else I can try to make it work?

TS4268 IMessage and FaceTime not working on iPod touch

Hey, so I got this iPod fifth generation three days ago. I have been iMessaging and facetiming a couple of my friends and it was working great up until yesterday morning. I have tried several other suggestions off the apple help site but none have worked and I don't want to have to restart my iPod because I will lose the information that I already have. My Internet is working great because I am on it right now. If anybody has any suggestions I would really appreciate it.

Have you tried:

Can you receive them?

TS4268 Imessage and FaceTime enabling

Hope this is some what related, but does iMessage need to be turned on/enabled for FaceTime calls? I know you need an account, just wanna know if it needs to be set to On in the settings menu. Thank you!

You do not need to turn on imessage for face time calls.You will need to have an apple id to use imessage and face time.You must be connected to wifi.
Thank you

Hi Can't activate imessage or facetime on my new iphone 5S. I have restored from my old phone, wiped the old phone back up and done a new one, disabled restrictions, waited the 24 hours, set the old phone to default so it doesn't interfere? Thanks

I cant seems to find a way to edit my email add anywhere?
Pls help.

I upgraded from the 4s to the 5s on Tuesday and requested my O2 number be carried over to my new EE contract. Everything has been carried over fine but i have been unable to switch on Imessage and Facetime, Error message shows 'Waiting for Activation' I've done the the resets and followed the instructions from the Apple Help page but still can't get it to switch on??

If you say you have done everything in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4268, then you should probably contact your carrier for their advice.

Hi Natasha,
Below is a copy of my post in another thread on this topic. I'm not sure which country you are from, but hope it's helpful.
Possible fix for Australian users on Telstra and using Tango
I'm using the iPhone 5S with iOS 7.0.1 on a contract with Telstra in Australia and have been experiencing the problem with iMessage and FaceTime not activating. My iPhone 4S on iOS 6 worked perfectly on the same network however.
I seem to have now fixed this issue by removing the Tango app (it is similar to Skype). Reading through this thread and seeing the refernces to TuGo triggered my solution, although I believe the 2 apps are entirely unrelated (just have a similar sounding name).
This fix may have been co-incidental, given that I had to wait quite a while for a sync with iTunes to complete. After syncing, I didn't check the settings for Messages and FaceTime to see if they had been activated. I just went straight to the Tango app on the iPhone and deleted it - hey presto, instantly both Messages and FaceTime were activated.
Hope this helps others in Australia who may have Tango installed, and are on the Telstra network.
John
