Facetime Activation on an iPod touch

I am trying to activate facetime on my iPod touch, and I know I am entering the correct Apple ID info, but it keeps telling me "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again." My network connection is fine! I can go online, ect. Help, anyone??

- Go to Settings>General>Time&Date and ensure that it is set to automatic
- Go to Settings>wifi and change the DNS to Google's 8.8.8.8

The FaceTime app on my iPod touch refuses to go any further than the email verification part of the setup process. It just goes back to the sign in screen every time. How can I fix this?

My built in FaceTime app on my iPod touch will not proceed from the email verification step of the setup process. I have tried going into settings like app support showed but when I click FaceTime it just shows the sign in screen just like before and does the same thing. Please help me to fix this.

No FaceTime with my new iPod touch 5g

I bought a new ipod touch here in middle east so that I can use facetime to make video call to my family. But I found out that there is no Facetime install on my new iPod Touch 5th generation. Is there's a way to have facetime like my wifes ipod touch 4th gen ?
Thanks

If the iPod was officially sold in one of the middle eastern countries that prohibit FaceTime then there is no way to make FT appear.

ICloud Error! The maximum number of free accounts has been activated on this iPod touch.

This is seriously annoying, I've been going around in circles trying to get my music onto my bloody iPod. I can't sync because it pauses @ Step 4: Waiting for changes to be applied error for ios7 devices. So my only option is to use iTunes Match and pay 40 bucks for it, but I think for iTunes match, you also need an iCloud account. Well I can't! Because when I go to sign into my iCloud using my Apple ID, it pops up with this error: The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPod touch.
I'm about to give up and kill every one of Apple's employees.
I'm ready and open to everyones strategy at getting this fixed, thanks in advance.

So I go to make a new Apple ID, then go to my newly downloaded iCloud Control Panel for PC, and it says that this is a valid Apple ID but not an iCloud ID. I figured the only way to make an iCloud ID is to make an account on my iPod... BACK TO THE START! I can't because it gives me an error after I have created my account saying: "This device is no longer eligible for creating a free iCloud account"
WHAT IS GOING ON, fix your stuff Apple.

TS4002 what does "the maximum number of free accounts have activated on this ipod touch"

trying to change the email addy on icloud for my nephews ipod touch. ready to throw it out the door. Keeps telling me "can not sign in. The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this ipod touch" what does that mean? and how do I delete all of that?

It means that you won't be able to create a new iCloud account on that iPod as the maximum number of accounts have already been created. You also can't delete an existing one to allow you to create another.
Your only options are to either re-use one of the accounts previously created or create a new account using another iOS device or Mac (running OS X Lion or Mountain Lion), if you have one.

I keep getting a messages that says" the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this Ipod touch" I only have one account set up. What do I need to do?
Thank you

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You should only get that message when you are trying to create a new account.
Unfortunately once all the 3 iCloud accounts have been created on your mobile device, you cannot create any more regardless of what you do. You will need to re-use one of the accounts that you have already created or create your new account on another device or computer.

Can't message or FaceTime between ipad2 and iPod touch with same apple id

Posted this on the iPad page also. I got a ipad2, my husband loves it but too big and bulky, we get him the iPod touch tonight. I set his up using the same apple id because we truly want to share everything, BUT want to be able to message and FaceTime one another. Works fine to begin with, but soon realize that we cant FaceTime using same e-mail, realize I can assign him a different e-mail. do this, doesn't work, so try the trouble shooting on apple support, turn off face time and messaging, because I'm setting it up for both, Somehow it locks me out of message and FaceTime completely, that I had to reset my password, now it will let me login using that apple id, but not allow me to use either my orignal or secondary e-mail that I did verify. FaceTime just keeps sending me back in to the apple id log in screen. I thought no matter what you were able to login on both devices using the same id, but I can't for some reason! Thanks!

I ended up resetting all of the content and settings back to factory standard, then starting over. no issues after that. I'm just glad that we hdan't done too much after purchase!

Can't message or FaceTime between iPad2 and iPod touch on same apple I'd

Here's my story. Have an iPad2, works great, love it. husband loved it too, but big and bulky, he goes with the iPod touch. Tonight we set his up using the same apple id, because we want it to be simple and we truly want to share everything. BUT, we want to be able to FaceTime and message one another. Obviously realized we couldn't when the other was always busy, so I use an addtional e-mail to assign to him. When it didn't take initally, I think ok, I need to turn off iMessage and FaceTime to get them to reset. when I go to log back in, our apple id wasnt recognized and I eventually reset our password as a last ditch effort. That gets me to the next screen, "what e-mail address do I want to use?" I choose the secondary one, but it acts as if it hasn't been verified, but I've checked my settings information and it has been, I've actually deleted and verified it twice now. I even tried the main e-mail address. I've also powered off the touch too. So what am I doing wrong, because at this point I can't even get messages or FaceTime to work on the touch. I do not want to remove my log in from my iPad for fear of it locking me out there as well, but I need help! At a minimum I should be able to get our messages from both devices! Thanks!

I decided to reset the iPod touch to factory new settings and then it worked fine. I have no idea what glitch I came across, but am glad that I can now FaceTime and message with my husband!

Hi I could not find facetime app on my ipod touch 5th. Pls. help.

I just bought my ipod touch 5th gen and after the initial set up I could not find the facetime app. Anybody had the same experience?

- If it was offically sold in one of the middle eastern countries that prohibit FT then it is not on the iPod and can't be added
- It can be hidden by Restrictions. Settings>General>Restrictions

FaceTime Failed: Calls between iPod Touch and Macbook Pro

when i try to place a call to someone who has FaceTime on an iPod Touch, she says she doesn't receive any calls and i get eventually get a "FaceTime failed" after a few rings. if the other party calls me (i'm using MacBook Pro with OSX Lion 10.7.1) and i answer, at first, it will say "Connecting..." then it will then show a "FaceTime failed". We both powered off our devices to no avail. Any ideas?

Somehow, it just fixed itself.

Why is the facetime not working on iPod touch 4 generation

I just set up the two iPOd touches I purchased for my son and daughter. Everything works except for iMessager and facetime. I will for them to call me on my iPhone.....however no luck at all

Are the iPods signed in with an Apple ID ? (Go to Settings-->iTunes and App Stores and see if they are signed in)
Are they connected to a Wi-Fi network ?
Try calling the iPods from your phone.

Is it possible to make a facetime call from an iPod Touch to a computer?

My iPod Touch 4G is now capable of video chat. My computer (and my long-distance girlfriend's computer) are capable of video chat. As far as I can tell, those devices are unable to communicate with each other. I use Skype to video chat computer to computer, and I thought my new iPod Touch 4G would be able to call her computer on the go (so long as I'm in a decent wifi network.) Skype doesn't seem to be able to access that camera, though, and does voice only when I call. Facetime can access that camera, but as far as I can tell is incapable of calling anyone using a device other than another iPod Touch or iPhone.
Is there any way for Facetime (or any other app I can download to my iPod Touch) to video chat with a regular computer? I don't understand why Apple would overlook this, if it's the case (and not just my inability to figure it out.) It seems basic that if I can video chat with another iPhone or iPod, I should be able to do the same with a properly equipped computer.

cheers!
The subject of this topic is make a "facetime" call to a computer.
YM is not FaceTime and cannot connect to FaceTime. I am happy YM works for you, but it does not respond to OP swagmonkey's request.
