Apple ID Problem - iMessage/FaceTime issues

Hello, I ran into an issue this morning, and am seeking some assistance. I was trying to tackle this problem on my own, but I decided it would be better to just ask the community .
This morning, I ran into an issue with no explanation. It suddenly happened, with no warning. When I checked my iPod Touch this morning, everything seemed normal. But, I tried to send my friend something through iMessage, and it didn't send. I first thought it was a simple Wi-Fi issue, but no matter how many times I tried, no matter who I tried to send a message to. I didn't send. I am on a secure network, and merely a few meters from my Wi-Fi Router. I later discovered FaceTime wasn't working too. I asked my friends through another way of communication if it was also down for them, and they all said that it was working fine for them. I even tried my mother's Apple ID, and it worked fine (we're on the same network)!!! Though I only tried iMessage and FaceTime, I'm sure anything that requires an Apple ID will not work with mine.
A few hours, it just logged me out of iMessage, so I decided to try and log back in. I checked MULTIPLE TIMES if I was typing in my password correctly, and I was. Yet, it kept on saying, either:
1. It cannot log me into iMessage, and to check my network connection.
2. To type in my password AGAIN, and then #1 would pop up.
I don't know what would cause this, or what I could have done to trigger it, but if ANYBODY knows how I can fix this issue, that would be great! Thank you for your time!

We have multiple devices in our family. On each iPad/iPhone each user has their own apple id for iMessage, Facetime and icloud, but we all sign in to the same apple id for itunes. When one of my kids comments on my shared photostream, it shows my name??

CREATE A NEW USER
Go to System Preferences --> Create a New User in Users & Groups
Decide on whether to setup as Admin or Standard User.
Switch to the New User by logging out under the Apple in the Menu Bar or use Fast User Switching
Fast User Switching allows other users to leave current applications and windows open. Depending on RAM, you might need to log out rather than use FUS.

IPad is now severely messed up after connecting iPod to its iCloud account, and after switching to that same Apple ID for iMessage/FaceTime

So, it all started with iMessage. FaceTime had similar log in symptoms as well, but I don't really use FaceTime. The best way I can describe it is with this... Paragraph I sent to my friend, describing my dilemma.
iMessage and everything was PERFECT for about a day, then it stopped working suddenly on my iPad. Then it wouldn't work on both. Then I could sign in on my iPod but not my iPad. Then finally I could log in to both. But it deleted the old send and receive email I was using, so everyone I texted would see an email rather than my name. It WOULD NOT let me add the email again, it would refuse to send a verification email to allow it to work, and would finally just say "error". Now it suddenly stopped working on my iPad and it hasn't worked at all for almost 2 days now. Oh and I only receive notifications for VZ Messages on my iPod, not my iPad. All the settings are perfectly in order on my iPad as well, so I have no clue what to do.
Instagram notifications also have appeared to behave as the VZ Messages notifications have. Any ideas? These are all of my top-used apps, and all of their noticatioms are left broken on my iPad after I added my iPod to my iCloud account, and started using my own Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime.

HT204053 Can I use one Apple ID for iMessage/Facetime that is not the same as my iCloud ID?

I have one Apple ID for iCloud that is used on multiple devices. Each user has their own Apple ID for Store purchases. Can I use my Apple ID that is NOT my iCloud ID as a way to get my iMessages/FaceTime on multiple devices?

To clarify, we share an iPad (original iOS 5.1.1).
When I use it, I would like to use my individual AppleID that I use for store purchases so I get MY iMessages on both my phone and the iPad.
It seems to work when I use the iCloud Apple ID (meaning iMessages come through on both units) but when I try to set them both up using my store Apple ID, it doesn't work.
Help?!?!

Apple ID and imessage/ facetime

When My wife first got her iPhone she didn't have an Apple id so we loaded my Apple id instead. She has since gotten her own Apple ID but we can't change imessage and facetime to her Apple ID. How do we fix this?

Factory Unlocked on T-Mobile: iMessage & Facetime Both Verified As Activated But Do Not Work

Hardware: Iphone 4
OS: 5.1.1
Factory Unlocked
Network: T-Mobile (USA).
Hi all.
Like many I am having a problem getting iMessage & Facetime to work, however, the unique problem I seem to be having is that while both iMessage & Facetime report back that they are activated, neither work.
Anything attempted to be sent through iMessage fails to send. Standard SMS/MMS is only available. Iphone users attempting to send me iMessages are only able to transmit via SMS/MMS as well.
Facetime will not connect to anyone. Every attempt is met with an immediate "Call Failed." prompt on both my end and the Sender's end.
I am completely miffed as up until this on my other iPhone, a 3GS running 5.1.1 also on T-Mobile, there were no problems with iMessage or Facetime (unofficial tweak)
Thus far I have done the following which has yileded no success:
- Delink my Apple ID from iMessage & Facetime > Turn off Services > Turn off Phone > Restart > Reactive Services > Relink Apple ID > Reactivate and Verify iMessage & Facetime.
- Hard Reset (Power + Home)
- Change DNS to 8.8.8.8
- Remove my Apple ID > Turn off Phone > Restart > Reactivate & Verify iMessage and Facetime w/o linking Apple ID (Phone no. only).
I'm at a loss at this point. Does anyone have any other ideas? It cannot be a factor of Tmobile as Tmobile plays no factor in iMessage & Facetime ability, they are both network agnostic features as I understand. Additionally, both these features work on my 3GS.

At another users suggestion I:
Disabled both iMes & FT, turned off wifi, rebooted, and then enable both without wifi.
Waited 15 minutes to activate
No dice. They both required me to enter my Apple ID, gave the me the warning about charges for text message to activate, waited 10 minutes and again both reported as activated.
Tried sending an Imessage and it failed (both with Wifi off and then Wifi on). I have not tried Facetime but I expect more of the same.
As a final measure, I reset the phone, restored and re-activated which did not solve the problems.
Immensly frustrated at this point. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Mavericks upgrade - iMessage/Facetime sign in problem (MBPro 2010)

After upgrading to Mavericks from Mountain Lion, now I can't sign in with iMessage and Facetime:
In Console I'm getting this errors logged:

I've tried many solutions with no positive result. It appears something is wrong with the Keychain. Something is missing or was not correctly upgraded.

I've solved my iMessage/Facetime problem. This is the solution I've posted in another discussion.

Apple ID on multiple devices vs iMessage/Facetime (don't want auto setup)

I have few devices under one Apple ID. on that Apple ID a have additional email addresses for iMessage/facetime. I don't need/want receive imessages on all devices simultaneously which was sent to one email. so I am using different email addresses on my devices for imessge/facetime.
when I purchased mac book pro, and added my Apple ID on it, iMessage and Facetime autoamtically added all my email addresses and Mobile Phone number.
But I don't want to receive iMessage and Facetime calls on any new device which was sent to my email addresses which are already used on other devices. I don't want that iMessage and Facetime automatically adds all my email addresses on new devices. Moreover If Someone from my family adds new deives to my apple ID, I don't want that he could receive/read messages which was sent to my email address. He has his own iCloud account. And without direct access to that device I can't turn off all my email addresses in iMessage/Facetime - that is very bad and non secure.
How to:
1. without direct access to device prevent receiving/sending messages from my email addresses?
2. prevent in future for all new devices automatically setup iMessage and Facetime on my email addresses/mobile phone number

We do this in my family now. We have one account for purchases, so it is used to share music and apps (I think that is in Settings/iTunes & App Stores). Each iDevice has this configured.
Then, each of us has our own iCloud account that is configured under Settings/iCloud. That then allows us to have our own Mail/Contacts/Calendars/Reminders/Safari Bookmarks/Notes/Passbook/Photo Stream/Documents & Data/Find My iPhone/and Backup. That Backup piece is pretty sweet and comes in handly if you replace your iDevice. You can just restore from it.
So we all share the Apple Store account but we all have our own iCloud accounts to keep the rest seperate or things like you mentioned are a nightmare.
In answer to what iCloud does for you: http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/
Think of it as an internet based ("cloud") area for all of those items listed in my response. What you need to remember is photo stream only maintans the last 1000 pictures so don't count it as a complete backup solution for your pictures. Even though I rarely sync with a computer these days, I do still try to sync my phone with iPhoto (I have an iMac) so that I have copies of all of my pictures. 1000 may not stretch as far as it sounds.

Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime not working and giving repeating popups

So I have recently found my lost iPad after about a year and when I turn it on, it's giving me never ending popups for my iMessage and FaceTime apple ID, which says is incorrect. i now have an iPhone 5c whose email I switched because my old one (aka the one my iPad is set up to) got disabled. On my phone, my iTunes/App Store and iMessage/FaceTime Apple ID is my new email but my iCloud is still the same. I decided to reset my Apple ID through my iCloud though I typed in my new email since I thought it'd change it. Now, my iMessage is messed up where I can't text my friends in other countries (though I can with my friends in the same country though it's not as an SMS), my iMessage won't activate, I'm not sure if my friend can even see the messages, and I don't know what to do.
If it helps any, I deleted my iPad from my iCloud for backup storage space. Also, I don't know if I'm posting this in the right area as I'm mainly talking about my iPhone 5c but it also has to do with my iPad mini
Also, I just tried signing into my old Apple ID in iCloud on my phone with my new password and it worked and my old one didnt

Set up Facetime with your new Apple ID: tap Settings > Facetime > Apple ID > Sign out. Later log in with your latest Apple ID.
Set up iMessage with new Apple ID: tap Settings >Messages > Send & Receive > tap the Apple ID to sign out > later, sign in with your new Apple ID.

HT204053 Can I use the same Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime services from two different devices - iPhone and iPad?

Can I use the same Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime services simultaneously on two different devices - iPhone and iPad? It seems those are competing to each other, and the services work on one of them only (iPhone).

Many thanks, Sir! Both are mine and it's good to know that imessage can work on both with the same Apple ID. Will now have to find out why imessage stopped working on iPad when it started on iPhone (new). After exploring the forum I understand that there may be plenty of reasons why imessage does not work, even though it worked previously on the same device with the same ID.

How can i use 2 different apple ids for imessage and facetime on 1 ipad?

How can i use 2 different apple ids for imessage and facetime on 1 ipad?

Do you mean can you use one Apple ID for FaceTime and one for iMessage? You should be able to. Or, do you mean, can you log into iMessage (or FaceTime) with two Apple IDs at once? No.

TS4268 Can't sign in with my apple ID on iMessages and FaceTime

I'm trying to activate my iMessages on iPad 2 with my apple ID and password but I found an error message " iMessages activation ( the user name or password for " my apple ID" is incorrect) although I'd tried to access any other application like AppStore and find my friends with same apple ID and it works normally. I'd tried to restore my software which was iOS6 but yet problem still exist. And I'd tried also to sign out from the same apple ID for iMessage on my iPhone and sign in again but also I found the same error also here. Any help ??

I have the same problem on my iPod touch 4G after upgrading to iOS 6.
