Apple ID Works for Purchase not with FaceTime/iMessage

After resetting my Apple ID password, I can no longer use FaceTime or iMessage.  Both apps always prompt for the password.
Here is my scenerio:
Launch FaceTime, prompts for password, key password - failed
Go to App Store, download any app, prompts for password, key password - success (app is installed)
Launch iMessage, prompts for password, key password - failed
Reset password again, repeat above steps with the same results

  • New apple ID - works for purchases, but not updates

    I recently changed my apple id to a .me account.    It works fine for purchasing.   However when I try to update apps on my iPad or iPhone it still wants a password to my old ID which is no longer accessible.   How can I get the update function to prompt using my new .me account?  

    Hi Taylorfam6,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below may be able to help you with this.  You may need to sign out of your Facetime and Message accounts, and sign back in with the correct Apple ID:

    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
    Your iPhone telephone number is linked to your Apple ID when you sign in to FaceTime or iMessage. This allows you to use your iPhone number with FaceTime and iMessage on other iOS devices.
    You can sign in to your Apple ID on an iPhone by tapping Settings > FaceTimeand Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. On iOS devices, find out which addresses are enabled with FaceTime and iMessage by tapping:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You can be reached by iMessage at:
    Settings > FaceTime > You can be reached by FaceTime at:
    iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4268
    iPhone automatically registers your phone number for use with FaceTime and iMessage during activation.
    To use FaceTime with your Apple ID, navigate to Settings > FaceTime and tap "Use your Apple ID for FaceTime."
    To use iMessage with your Apple ID, navigate to Settings > Messages > Receive At and tap "Use your Apple ID for iMessage."
    When you enable FaceTime or iMessage with an iPad or iPod touch, you will need to enter a valid Apple ID and password. Other users will be able to contact you on FaceTime and iMessage using this email address.

  • Apple tv works for iphone4s not ipad2 over wifi

    The Apple tv has all the latest updates as do the iphone 4s and ipad2. The ipad 2 intermittantly sees the apple tv and gives me the option to mirror the ipad etc. The iphone4s ALWAYS sees the apple tv and allows me to mirror it.
    Why is the ipads connection to the aple tv not consistent?
    thanks

    Hello MHPIGVALVE,
    I was researching what we might be able to do to help troubleshoot the different wifi reliability you are seeing with the iPad 2. I found an article called iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections found herehttp://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398 that may help get your wifi more consistently working.
    Resolution
    Many Wi-Fi issues can be resolved by doing the following:
    Basic troubleshooting
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and then on again.
    Verify that you are in range of your Wi-Fi router or base station.
    Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and Cable/DSL modem are connected to power and turned on.
    Check whether other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware.For AirPort Base Stations, refer to this article for information about firmware updates. For third-party Wi-Fi routers, check the manufacturer's website for details on updating your firmware.
    Restart your iOS deviceHold the On/Off button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the On/Off button to turn it back on.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

    Hi, I have a problem with getting my apple Id working for me. It's been 2 months since it happened and Apple failed to act. I can tell my story proerly, but am not sure, you guys can help, so I just copy my message to them today, I am trying to get it across all the places around to pay their attention. This is a desperate move, so if you are not the right people to help me to get my message accross, may be you can advise where can I go.
    Thank you, and sorry for the language.

    I am sorry to say that, but your security makes my life miserable – it’s been 2 months since my Apple ID account got stuck, and since then I cannot update 37 applications (to date), i.e. most of my applications. Half of them I bought. I also paid for iCloud, and it is not working. I paid money and I am stuck with old applications and no iCloud. Your security *****. Your service ***** too. It took your service 1 month to finally understand why this happened to me, and it took me tens of emails to you and 3 hours of telephone conversation to find out the reason for my problem. And the problem is still not fixed. NOT FIXED. You just leave your customer – the one who paid you money and spent so much time with you trying to help you help me – and nothing. You tell me:  “Vitas, Stick your stinky iphone in your *** and enjoy life, we do not care!” *************.
    It is ******* outrageous, and you should know that,  guys. Get into the ******* database and correct the bug. Get someone in the partners-telephone carriers company (it is Orange as carreer and Cellcom as seller of the phone)  authorized to Identify me in personal encounter in one of the branches in Israel (where I live) and make sure it is really me, and get the ******* system accept my password and let me use my phone.
    Otherwise **** off. None of my friends will get my advise to buy an iphone or any of apple products. And I think you should be very attentive to cases like this, guys. Do your work for the money we pay, or disappear. There are many others eager to take your place, and if the problem is not fixed I will eventually go to the others. My patience is lost, and as soon as I can afford another phone I will change it. AND I WILL TRY TO GIVE BAAAAAD PUBLICITY TO APPLE – I am threatening here, so ACT NOW.

    Well, it seems waiting is not my strong suit..! I renamed a javascript file called recovery to sessionstore. This file was in the folder sessionstore-backups I had copied from mozilla 3 days ago, when my tabs were still in place. I replaced the sessionstore in mozilla's default folder with the renamed file and then started mozilla. And the tabs reappeared as they were 3 days ago!
    So there goes the tab problem. But again when I started mozilla the window saying "a script has stopped responding" appeared, this time the script being: chrome//browser/contenttabbrowser.xml2542
    If someone knows how to fix this and make firefox launch normally, please reply! Thank you

    HI,
    In effect this is a DNS block.
    You can do it.
    You need to be in an Admin Mac User Account that has  non blank password.
    Go to the Applications/Utilities folder and open Terminal.
    You should see your shortname (the one under the Little House icon) followed by the $ symbol
    Copy and paste the bold text below into Terminal after the $ symbol.
    sudo pico /etc/hosts
    This will load the file "hosts" into and editor that works in Terminal.
    Use the arrow keys to get to the line with Verisign in it.
    Now type the # symbol and it will be added in front of the character that is highlighted.
    The # symbol is either Shift +3 or ALT+ 3 depending on your keyboard layout
    Now use CTRL and O keys together.
    This Saves the changes.
    Quit Terminal.

  • How can I make my apple ID valid for purchases other then the Canadian iTunes Store?

    How can I make my apple ID valid for purchases other then the Canadian iTunes Store? I wanted to download the "Wath abc family" app and it said it had to switch me to the american store because the app isnt available in Canada yet. Once it switched me I put in my apple ID and password and thats when it said that my apple ID is only valid in the canadian store and it switched me back. 
    1)
    2)
    3)

    To make purchases in the Mac App Store/iTunes Store for any particular country, you must be a legal resident of that country and supply a credit card issued by a bank in that country with a verifiable billing address in that country. Do you also make those qualifications in the US?
    But as a side note, as one who has that app, you can only watch both ABC and ABC Family shows if you have an account with a US cable or satelite TV company with which to sign into the app. Otherwise you don't qualify to watch shows with it.

  • HT204291 i cant mirror my i pad 1 to apple tv, works for air playing music though

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Unfortunately the iPad 1 does not support mirroring. Mirroring is only supported on the iPad 2 or better or on the iPhone 4S.

  • Will my Apple ID work for any apple device

    Absolutely. Assuming that you are talking about your own devices. You can sign in on another person's devices, but it's not advisable to do so.

  • Does iTunes in the cloud only work for purchased music?

    Hi,
    I was wondering, does iTunes in the Cloud only work for purchased music?
    Also, does the automatic wifi sync feature not sync everything that it would if you manually iniate the wifi sync? The reason I ask is because my iPhone is often connected to my charger, and then today I decided to perform a manual wifi sync and it had a lot of content to update, definitly way more than any changes I've made since I plugged it in to the charger last night.
    Thanks,
    Brandon

    Hi Brandon ...
    You can turn on Music, Apps,and Books by tapping Settings > Store
    Connecting your iPhone to a wall charger should not have any effect on sycning.

  • What Apple app works for adobe flash player?

    On christmas i bought my iPad 3G+wi fi, my first dissapoint was to play in internet adobe flash video in two  sites www.tuparada.com and www.integridadysabiduria.org, appstore recommends some apps equivalent to adobe flash, i tried  Skyfire ($4.95) but it doesn't work, and i lost my money because Skyfire said  they can not refund because Apple doesn' has policy refund, anyway my core cuestión is : how can i play  internet vídeos which request adobe flash player.?

    I think Apple   should probably have to take most seriously this problem,  because this kind of video is high popular , besides retailers do not quote the warning that we will not be allowed to play this type of video

    There is no guaranteed solution for the iPad as flash is not and probably never will be supported.
    Apart from Skyfire there a browser apps such as iSwifter, Puffin and Photon which 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites.

    Can you elaborate on your question? How exactly is your question related to SAP NetWeaver Portal: Application Integration? If you are really asking how to install attachments contained in SAP notes, there is no automatic/general way and you should ask your question in the Software Support and Maintenance space to begin with. What SAP note(s) are you looking at installing?

  • HT5538 How do you separate multiple iOS devices using the same apple id account for Face Time calls and iMessaging?

    How do you separate multiiple ios devices using the same apple id account for Face Time calls and iMessaging?

    The only way I have seen is to have each device use a if fervent email account, if they all are on the same email the FaceTime connection is either to a phone number or to an email address.  If they ar all on the same email, it is up to the user to decide which to use.
