Can't activate FaceTime on my iPhone 4

I have bought in October an iPod Touch 4G and activated FaceTime on it. One week ago I bought an iPhone 4 and synchronized my iPhone with a Backup of my iPod Touch. Now I want to use FaceTime also on my iPhone, but if I activate it in Settings -> Phone nothing happens and if I reopen the settings the option is deactivated again. I get no error message or anything else.
I don't want delete all Settings or can I restore it later?

(1) I do not have an iPhone, so I do not understand how you could put a backup of an iPod on your iPhone. You may need to reset your phone and try again:

TS4268 I can't activate FaceTime & iMessage on my iPad ... Would this have anything to do with already having these set up on my iPhone with the same apple ID?

I can't activate FaceTime & iMessage on my iPad ... Would this have anything to do with already having these set up on my iPhone with the same apple ID?

As long as you're logged into the same AppleID on both devices, this is not a problem. It's only a problem if you're logged into a different AppleID and then try to associate FaceTime with an email that tied to the other AppleID.

TS3367 Nowhere on my iPhone 4 can I activate FaceTime... I've tried using contacts, settings, and even when I call someone with an active FaceTime, the FaceTime icon is not lit up. Any suggestions?

There is no facetime icon and never was. Facetime is built into the phone. Go to settings>general>restrictions and make sure facetime is ON. Go to settings>facetime and turn it on there and set it up there. Also read http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4268

I can't activate FaceTime & iMessage

Dears,
Yesterday I have been doing service (Find My iPhone) my wife
Has erred and pressed on ( Erase iPhone ) and Already been cleared Contents,
After that my wife was running iPhone.
But there are two problems:
1 - can't activate FaceTime by phone number, but by the Apple ID it's okay!
2 - can't not activate iMassage by phone number, but by the Apple ID it's okay!
You kindly help me
Ahmad Binhimd

If the device was remotely wiped using Fimd My iPhone it can take up to 24 hours for the phone number to verify using Facetime and iMessage. Leave them turned on and do not toggle them off in that period of time.

Can't activate FaceTime since downloading ios7

I can't activate FaceTime since downloading ios7

The only thing that works for me and my iphone 5 was to backup my settings apps and email in Itunes (windows8). Restore the phone to factory default. After that i got a question about location service for itunes/ facetime etc... I skipped the question and says "no"
When the phone was reinstalled with factory defaults, I restored my apps etc... after that no more problems... The message when starting facebook, whatsapp about login to Itunes etc...is also gone...
Hope it will work for you too... good luck

I bought iphone4 from Dubai, but live in India. How can I activate FACETIME without Jailbreaking it ?

I bought iphone4 from Dubai, but live in India. How can I activate FACETIME without Jailbreaking it ?

I'm only guessing here since I don't use Facetime myself but I think it depends on the model number of the phone. iPhones sold by UAE operators have unique model numbers and these do not get the Facetime app installed at all. Even in India, if you update or do a clean reinstall, you still the UAE-branded OS.
Facetime is blocked because the voice and video goes over WiFi and this eats into the profits of the mobile operators. Most countries here in the Middle East block video and voice chatting over the Internet - not due to censorship - but because the government-owned operators here enjoy monopolies and want all video and voice to go over their networks for maximum revenue. I live in Oman where for example Skype is blocked simply because it is seen as a competitor to the government landline operator.

I can't activate FaceTime and iMessage !!!?

Actually this problem has started since iOS 6 . I have an iPhone 4S and iPad mini running on iOS 6.0.2 and iPad 2 running on iOS 6.0.1
On my iPhone , I can easily activate FaceTime and iMessage without any problems , but that's using my phone number .
Whenever I tried singing in using my Apple ID , I keep getting the 'The user name and password is incorrect ' even though I'm pretty sure its correct .
Same thing goes on my iPad 2 & mini , I tried activating FaceTime and iMessage but it just keeps saying the user name and password is incorrect .
I try to fix my DNS & I've done resets all other possible solutions I might find but to no avail .
- Funny thing is that when I use a different Apple ID, it gets activated.. anybody can help on what the **** is going on !!!!?

Is reliance a supported carrier for the iPhone? If not, you will be unable to get facetime to activate.

Can i use FaceTime in my iPhone 4 without wifi?

Can i use FaceTime in my iPhone 4 without wifi?

That would depend if you are provisioned by your carrier to use cellular data for facetime.
My bad didn't see it was an iphone 4

Can't activate FaceTime - won't verify email

I can't activate FaceTime on the new ipad. I can sign in with my apple ID fine, but at the e-mail step it fails. No matter what e-mail address I put in there (including my apple ID), it spends about 30 seconds with a spinny icon saying "Verifying...", then says it couldn't verify, sent a verification email to the above address, follow the instructions in the email, but I NEVER GET AN EMAIL. I've done this perhaps 50 times over the last week and it always behaves the same.
It's extra bizarre because I go through the exact same steps for FaceTime on my MacBook Air, and it verifies instantly, and I have made many succesful facetime calls using my Air. But I can't sign up on the iPad.

HERE'S WHAT WORKED FOR ME: I signed out of Facetime on my mac and then I could sign in on my ipad. Suddenly after 50 attempts, my ipad verified instantly (it didn't even send an e-mail, it just verified instantly). I guess being signed in on my mac caused some kind of conflict on Apple's servers. Now for the funny part: I was immediately able to sign-in again on my mac and now both my pad and mac have working FaceTime. You just can't be signed in on your mac when you are trying to setup FaceTime for the first time on the iPad. I guess.

I can't activate FaceTime on my iPad.

I can't activate FaceTime on my iPad. Keep getting activation error "your user name/password is incorrect" even though both are correct and I'm using them to login to iTune and this support community even after i reset it to check!!
The iPad iOS is 6.0.1 and I'm in Canada so no country/region restriction. I've checked the date and time settings as mentioned on some support pages and restarted my iPad but still nothing.
I never used FaceTime before so all help is appreciated. Thanks!

I can't activate Facetime or Messages on my iPad 2 using my apple id. It comes up with the message that my username or password is incorrect.
But I can login to the app store using the same username/password.
This problem is restricted to Facetime and Messages.
Does anybody have a solution for me?
