Activating my faceTime

I'm having difficulties to activate my faceTime. When I turn it on, it says that it is waiting for activation but after a long time it says that the activation didn't work out and that I should try again. I tried many times with no success. Can anyone help me?

If you've restored your iPhone from a iPod touch backup, you might want to take a look at Apple's article -> http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3671.
Apple has a similar article for iPhones that have ported their numbers or saw the problem after installing a carrier update -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4246.
WTH.

  • HT204053 HOW LONG TAKE TO WAIT FOR ACTIVATION OF FACETIME?

    how long take to activation of facetime ?

    Oh it gets worse.  Originally I was told my new address didn't have Infinity so I would be recieving a Hub 3 for normal broadband.  After spending 2 1/2 hours on the phone on Monday and speaking to several different people within BT I am told that the reason the hub wasn't delivered was that my new home does have fibre cables for Infinity.  Therefore they had cancelled the order for the hub as they assumed I would plug my existing Hub 5 in and use it.  What they absolutely failed to do was to tell me this wasting 5 weeks of my time, frustration, phone calls and emails.  the next day I recieved a home hub 3 in the post!!!!  what I hadn't got was the correct socket on the wall for infinity and I tried to explain, but clearly failed, was that I needed either the socket changing (two BT department advisors couldn't get their head around this one) or I needed a filter to plug into the existing standard socket.  One didn't arrive with the hub 3 so I went out and bought one from ASDA.  I was told that I would recieve a call yesterday to arange for the engineers vist.  they were just going to book a date and time for a visit but I explained that like most people I worked and therefore that is where you would normally find me during the day.  I'm still waiting for that call....
    anyway I plugged my Hub 5 in and hey presto in works.  The Mbps speed is absolutely rock bottom, 1.82Mbps, nothin like the 38MBps that Infinity should provide but at least I'm connected to the 20th century.  I waiting a while to see if the speed climbs up to the expected speed over the next few days before I waste another 2.5 hours on the phone to BT trying to get my point across and being told a load of twaddle.

    You need to have a valid working messaging plan, and be connected to your cellular network in order to complete FaceTime activation for your number (see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3367).  You might want to check with your carrier to make sure you plan is properly provisioned if you think either of these might be an issue.

  • HT5622 Since I have updated my iPad ios7,I am having problems activating my FaceTime

    I have recently updated my iPad ios7,but having problems activating  FaceTime.

    No one should have to reset network settings, I have the same issue and I have a celluar package, it's slow using either one--but my IMac is running just fine so don't blame the network--blame the testers and my Internet speed is grease lightning so that's not it either--too many issues, like Facebook randomly disappearing while open, choppy animation, slow to load programs.
    It's too **** bad they made it so you cannot roll back to IOS6 until these bugs are worked out--shoulda waited. Shoulda, coulda, woulda..not helping me now AND my friend bought his mini the same time I did in April and we are not even in the same city and he has the same exact problems!!

  • TS1702 can't active iMessage & FaceTime (user name or password incorrect)

    I can't active iMessage & FaceTime in my iPhone & iPad, when active face time & iMessage (user name or password incorrect) and I am sure my use name & password is correct.

    Does anyone at Apple even look at these threads?  I've been search for a solution to the same problem all afternoon. 
    Hello, anyone out there?

  • Activating iMessage/FaceTime

    I've got an iPhone 4, and an iPhone 5 (well the issue is on the 4 and 5).
    When I first had my iPhone 4, I decided that iMessage was not for me and disabled it within a week (little did I know that it'd also disable FaceTime and I hadn't noticed because I didn't even use FaceTime, as nobody then had an iPhone or iPod capable of FaceTiming).
    When I got my iPhone 5, I synced it so it was exactly the same as my 4. I decided to check out FaceTime again when I noticed that I was unable to activate (it kept failing to activate), and after 24 hours it still didn't work, so I started troubleshooting. I deleted all settings, hoping that it would reset it, but still no luck. What did work was resetting everything and letting it activate as a fresh phone. I tried to sync my 4 files back on afterwards, thinking that it was the end of the issue but after syncing, it didn't work again. I'm assuming that there's content on the 4 that's stopping me doing it?
    I'm not too bothered about losing my data on my 5 but I want to use iMessage on my 4 as well, but also keep content on it - has this happened to anyone else and how did you do it?
    Yours faithfully,
    Jiaman.

    Ok, try activating it with your Apple ID. I know it might be annyoing to not be able to use your phone number, but at least it works. Follow these steps: (iOS 5 Users Only)
    Tap Settings.
    Scroll down to FaceTime.
    Tap FaceTime.
    Scroll down to where it says "You can be reached for video calls at:
    Under that, there will be a white box, and it has your phone number.
    In that white box, there should be "Add another email" or "Add an email"
    If that worked, now it's time to go and activate iMessage.
    From inside the FaceTime window, tap "Settings" to go back to Settings.
    Once you are back in the settings main screen after exiting the FaceTime Settings Screen, scroll down to "Messages".
    Tap the "Messages" option.
    Once the "Messages" Settings Panel has loaded, scroll down until you can see a box that says "Recieve at *yourphonenumberhere*"
    Tap "Recieve at *yourphonenumberhere*"
    Tap "Use your Apple ID for iMessage.
    Follow the on-screen instructions.
    I hope this works.

  • My facetime is waiting for activation, my facetime is waiting for activation, my facetime is waiting for activation

    facetime is waiting for activation how can i activate

    Hey,
    Not sure if this will work, but worth a try.
    Under Settings>Phone>"My Number"
    Check whether you're correct number is entered.,
    Also check whether you're Caller Id is ON or not.
    As soon as I entered the correct number, I got a request to send a message to activate FaceTime
    All The Best.

  • Why does it say waiting for activation under facetime switch

    why cant i access facetime and why does it say waiting for activation under the facetime switch?

    Hi,
    If you have  a Jabber ID used in iChat and you add a Buddy the Buddy gets an Authorisation Request invite.
    iChat sends this Invite once.
    The Buddy cannot be properly in your Buddy List until they accept.
    However other Jabber Apps constantly sends the Authorisation Requests again and again until the person Accepts or Declines.
    In iChat if the Buddy misses the Request the Buddy list is left hanging with the "Awaiting" message.
    GoogleTalk and Facebook IDs ware valid Jabber names if you have Enable "Talk" on Google an "Chat" on Facebook.
    Try Deleting the Buddy from the list (Highlight and then Backspace key)
    Then Add them when you know they will see the request.
    (Or get a Third Party Jabber app and run that after adding their name until they reply)

  • FaceTime activation problem, FaceTime activation problem

    Can not activate facetime

    Tried this myself from last issue when I converted to Lion but adding this to DNS didn't work.  Went to Apple Store over the weekend... their solution - reinstall operating system (as well as all apps).... in my case, not worth doing for the single benefit of Facetime.  But this seems to be an issue for many people and it has come up before, but yet Apple seems to not resolve it with a patch release or something short of a complete reinstallation of the OS.

    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:
