Can't connect iPad mini 3 to iMessage and facetime
hello
my grandad has just brought a iPad mini 3. Everything works fine except iMessage and FaceTime. We have set up 2 accounts both cannot connect to either app. I tried my own apple account and works fine so we no it's not the ipad.
WE have tried resetting, new accounts, the home button reset, checking the time settings. But still nothing works!!!,
Any ideas?
thank you
TThere are quite a few of us with this problem. Apple is working on it. Some people have been helped by suggestions in this post

IT started in January, the last few pages are the people with the latest version of the problem.

How can i connect ipad mini wifi+celluar to 2g internet plan
Hello Sir!
After weeks of testing, i found the solution of my question. It´s quiet simply!!
1º iPhone (3G Internet acess) connected to Mac mini by USB or BlueTooth or WiFi.
2ª in Mac mini must be activated in "Preferencias", "Compartir", the option "Compartir Internet",
"Compartir Conexión desde": iPhone USB or Bluetooth PAN
"Con otros Ordenadores vía": Ethernet
3º Ethernet cable must be connected from Mac mini to Time Capsule !!
4º In Time Capsule "Internet": connect by: DHCP
"Network": bridged
Nothing more!!! Sooooo simply!!
After this, Windows XP SP3 connect without problem over TC´s WiFi or Ethernet to the Internet!
Also other Devices like IPad, or other iPhone, etc.
Of course it can be a created a WiFi connection (PPP) between the iPhone and the Mac
and it´s working to.
But ALWAYS, by changing the connection mode, must be changed the Thethering mode.
In- and Out-Going!
Thank you for your help, no I made me a "small" TC expert...lol -

When I got my iPad I created a new apple ID it was working fine but then one day when I went to the app store and checked my apple ID, as usual it asked for a password, I typed the password in and was very sure it was the right one because i've been using it for a long time. Then it said incorrect password. I tried to type it in again and again and again but it still said incorrect password. We checked if it still exists on apple.com but then it said no apple ID found or no matches to our records or something like that. So I decided to get a new one but still used the same email. I found out that if 1 email is associated with 2 different apple ID's it may cause problems but as I said we checked if the old one still existed on apple.com it said it didn't so I thought it was fine to use the email again. After that the app store was working fine. I can install games and apps. I knew I had to sign in to iMessage and FaceTime again because of the I got a new apple ID but whenever I try signing in, it always says "Incorrect password" and sometimes "check you internet connection". I've tried signing in over and over again but nothing worked I still can't sign jn to iMessage and Facetime. What do you think I should do?

Can I connect iPad mini to 2012 Honda Rear Entertainment System?
Please help! We have a 2012 Honda Odyssey with the Rear Entertainment System. We formerly used an iPad 2nd Generation to play movies through the system using the video out via the 30-pin dock connector to component AV cables (red, white and yellow).
We now have an iPad mini and I'm looking for a solution to do the same thing, however the iPad mini uses the Lightning connector.
The car only accepts the component inputs (red, white, yellow) and no HDMI!
Any thoughts or ideas?The built-in sound connector on the Mac mini can either output Analogue Stereo, or Digital (Optical) Stereo, or 5.1 or even 7.1.
Your Logitech system is looking for an analague 5.1 setup which the Mac mini itself cannot do.
You need to either use an AV Receiver between the Mac and the Speakers to do the conversion, or get an external sound card for the Mac.
Something like this http://www.hercules.com/us/Sound-Cards/bdd/p/56/muse-pocket-lt/
Historically FireWire devices were used but since some Macs no longer have built-in FireWire I would suggest looking for a USB one. -
I can't connect ipad mini to att wire2
My ipad mini won't connect with my ATT&T wireless router wire2 I have 2 iphones that work fine
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

I've tried everything to set up my iMessage and FaceTime but nothing is working
Error Message includes:
"An Error Occured During Activation. Try again."
"Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again.",
I have tried the following:
I resetted my phone. Still doesn't work.
My iCloud works. So there's no problem with my apple ID.
My sms and text features work. It's green and not blue.
I have iOS 7.0.4 and I have been informed my software is up to date.
I recently went into apple to get my phone replaced set up my icloud from previous phone absolutely fine the only thing that I can't set up is the iMessage and FaceTime I've tried everythingsame thing is happening to me. each time i tried activating imessage it would display the error message. i contacted apple support and IMed them. One thing that they said was to got to settigns and "reset all settings". no data from your phone should be lost (I'm quite sure it even tells you this when you press the button). It will then say "waiting for activation" and then they said give it 24 hours, leaving the phone on, to see if it works. since i reset it it now says "waiting for activation" but has not yet activated.
the support team were really useful so i would recommend contacting them -
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.

Phone number not showing up in imessage and FaceTime on ipad or mac mini
I have the ipad, Iphone, and a mac mini. I am confused as to why my phone number is not showing up in imessage and facetime on my mac mini and ipad. I had it set up but for some reason it is not working now, it just shows my apple sign in email address. How can I fix this?
Hi, sarahr1987.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here is a troubleshooting resources I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue.
Phone number missing on iPad or iPod touch
If your phone number isn't listed on an iPod touch or iPad, follow these steps:
Update to the latest version of iOS.
Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you're using on your iPhone.
On your iPad or iPod touch, sign out of your Apple ID in the following locations:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Sign in to your Apple ID with FaceTime and iMessage.
If your phone number still isn't listed, follow these steps:
Sign out of your Apple ID on all iOS devices, including your iPhone, in the following locations:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Receive At and Settings > FaceTime.
Sign in to your Apple ID on your other iOS devices.

Imessages and facetime not working on ipad 3 mini since update to 8.3
brand new ipad 3 mini i-messages and facetime was working until update to IOS 8.3. can anyone help. I've restored ipad and set up as new but still same.
If none of this suggestions help, you are in the same boat a bunch of us are in! We all have newish devices (mostly iPad mini 3) and suddenly can't get into FaceTime or Messages. There's no slider and the sign in just dumps us back to sign in or gives a network error message.
If that's what's happening, it's probably an AppleID problem. Mine isn't working for FaceTime or Messages on any iPad, but my friend's works on mine. If you go to page 18, you will see what we've tried after 8.2 upgrade
