  • I have an iPhone 5 and updated it to iOS7 but now I can't use iMessage or FaceTime as it says "waiting for activation" and won't let me use my phone number to do iMessage or FaceTime either

    I have an iPhone 5 and updated it to iOS7 last night but now I can't use iMessage or FaceTime as it says "waiting for activation" As well as that, it won't let me use my phone number to do iMessage or FaceTime it will only let me use my apple ID which I don't want to do.

    Thank you for replying.    Yes I deleted the old email address..

    If you could see what I actually look like you might change your mind.
    However, I am very happy that you will be able to enjoy the rest of your weekend and that your problem has been solved.

  • Can't access i tunes store after downloading ios7 on i phone 5

    can't access i tunes store after downloading ios 7.0.1

    I think that you will find your answer amongst the other "problem reports" for Safari 5.1 and iTunes 10.4. If you can use your Time Machine to revert to the day before you installed iTunes 10.4 (and Safari 5.1 - if you updated Safari too) you should wait for answers to other's complaints. There is a little known maxim at Mac; don't update an app or the operating system until you find no further problems reported at MacFixit, finetunedmac and Apple's own Support forums.

  • I can't use iMessage and FaceTime

    hello when I try to connect to imessage or facetime told me that he is a server problem and I can not successfully connect to me, I tried several times already but its not working thank you to help me

    1. Check the status of the service. If the service is down, wait tor it to come back up. There may be a localized outage, even if the status indicator is green.
    2. From the menu bar, select
     ▹ About This Mac
    Below the "OS X" legend in the window that opens, the OS version appears. Click the version line twice to display the serial number. If the number is missing or obviously invalid, take the machine to an Apple Store or other authorized service center to have the problem corrected.
    3. Back up all data, then take the steps suggested in this support article.
    There are five steps in that article. Please take all of them. If you don't understand some of the steps or can't carry them out, ask for guidance.
    4. Reset the NVRAM.

  • Can't use iMessage and FaceTime on my iPad 2 since iOS 7

    With iOS 6.1.3 I could use FaceTime and iMessage perfect. Yesterday I updated my iPad (2) to iOS 7 and both Apps said there's a Restriction with this iPad. What can I do?

    I was having the same problem on my iPad mini until just a few minutes ago. It kept telling me to check my network, which was working fine with all the other devices in my house. I recently noticed all my FB.posts weren't reflecting the proper time so I checked my Date and Time settings. Sure enough, it was wrong. I adjusted it to the correct time and time zone, logged back into iMessage and now it connects just fine.
    I hope this works for you as well.

  • Can't use copy or paste after downloading iOS8

    Anyone having issues using copy and paste in safari?

    I have exactly the same problem using Safari on my iPad Air.  On my Macbook Pro, Safari works okay and I haven't tried it on my iPhone 5.  All the problems stem from the IOS8 update.  I tried installing google Chrome for Mobiles on my iPad and it worked for a while, but  it too is now destabilised.
    I have reported it to Tech Support in Ireland and they ran a diagnostic test, but so far I haven't heard anything back.  I also filed a bug report and suggest others should do the same.  The more people who report this fault the quicker we should get a fix.

  • Can't use FaceTime after downloading iso7

    I cannot use FaceTime after downloading iso7
    Have tried reboot and turning face time off and on
    Nothing seems to work

    I started having this same problem as well.
    Windows XP with Firefox browser
    When I select a Netflix movie, it comes up as a blank screen.
    Previously I had been using Firefox and Netflix for years without any problems.
    I have uninstalled an reinstalled both Silverlight and Firefox several times and cannot get it to work.
    Note: Chrome has the same problem!
    The only browser I can use for Netflix right now on my XP system is IE.

  • HT204053 Can I have 4 apple IDs under one purchasing account for using iMessage and FaceTime?

    I have an iPhone, an itouch, an iPad and my kids each have an itouch as well as my bf who has an iPad mini. Is there a way that we can use iMessage and FaceTime with each other? All devices use one account for purchases. Can we each have an ID without losing our music and movies?

    Thank you for the reply... But now, I have to ask, HOW?! Lol I have added and verified their emails, but I don't think that's the same is it? I basically need step by step instructions. Maybe I just missed it, but I have searched how to do this and can't figure it out. So any help would be greatly appreciated... We each have a couple hundred various songs and movies etc downloaded, but all registered and synced to my account and I really don't want to have to buy duplicates of one direction, Taylor Swift, etc. ☺ so to anyone who can give me a hand... Thank you in advance.

  • Can I use iMessage/FaceTime without a serial number on my Mac?

    I have a iMac that hade work done on it years ago. It no longer has a serial # in theabout this mac window. I just upgraded to Mountain Lion in part to use iMessage and especially FaceTime. I cannot get either program to work. I read online that these applications need to see your serial number to work. Someone said that the Apple store could do it, but I do not live anywhere neer an Apple store, or a store that works on Macs.
    The computer was purchased directly from apple in 2007, it is not a stollen machine.
    How can I figure out what my serial number is and get the applications to recognize it. If not can I activate iMessage and FaceTime?
    Thank you for the help.

    HI,
    There was a thread that contained so called "Hackintosh" users who also had difficulty.
    There was a Post in this thread that suggested someone had posted a workaround on a "Hackintosh" site.
    Although not clear what the "fix" was for these users several people in the Apple thread said that it worked.
    This implies that there should be a fix.
    It is also claimed that there are two apps "out there" that can help you to "write" to the place the Serial Number is installed on a  one time only basis.
    It suggests that there are broader "fixes"  but that the Serial Number has to be there.

  • I can no longer receive short videos in iMessage after downloading iOs7 on my iPhone 4 it says "Downloading", only 4.3MB in size

    I can no longer receive short videos in iMessage after downloading iOs7 on my iPhone 4 it says "Downloading", only 4.3MB in size

    I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
    Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

    You will need to Upgrade to Snow Leopard to get a Compatible version of iTunes to Sync your Device.
    Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
    It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
    Do this first...
    Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
