FaceTime and iMessage not accepting my Apple ID password while iCloud and App Store already accepted them?
I cant sign in to iMessages and FaceTime while I sign in to App Store and iCloud with the same ID without any problem! Do they have different ID and password? If not tell me please what to do
Thanks dear buddies
Hi Friend,
First, Where are you located and what country did you buy your phone? Some countries have restricted facetime, ie middle east, UAE.
Check if you signed in Facetime with your Apple ID and password (Settings>>Facetime).
Check if you have signed iCloud in.
Check that FaceTime is not disabled in general/restrictions. If that isn't the problem try changing dns servers on your iPad.
Go to Contacts app and select the person you want call then tap Facetime.
Change your address for your currently location. If not works, change it for your native country.
If still not working, go to Settings -> General -> Date & Time -> Set Automatically: ON (Yes date time setting has been known to cause issue).

I'm having APPLE ID. While using in app store it asks Credit Card details, but i'm not having credit card or any(as mention). How to download free apps. pls solve my problem
There are instructions on this page for how to create an account without giving a credit card number : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 - i.e. select a free app an create an account when 'buying' it (this only works for new accounts, not for updating an existing account)

Invalid Apple ID Password on iCloud
Downloaded and installed everything sucessfully this morning, iPhone 3GS working fine with iCloud (@me.com). I also have my iTunes store ID (@gmail.com) working for Store. iPad will not accept my Apple ID password for iCloud, says incorrect. Store on iPad appears to be OK with gmail login. Restoring iPad now, but any ideas?
Ok, so it is working now on both iPhone 3GS and iPad. Backed up, restored iPad to factory settings and changed me.com account password. gmail.com ID still tied to Store and iTunes on both. Hope this helps others.......
And 4S will be here tomorrow, so hoping that goes smoothly. -
Imessage is not working, it is not accepting my apple ID password?
Imessage is not accepting my apple ID password. I reset my password and it funtions for Itunes and Apps, however, it does not work for imessage. I have tried reseting my Ipad, with the same result. Is there a fix for this?
My issue has been resolved. It was caused by the imessage server being down when I was trying to connect to imessage. Imessage is now accepting my ID and password.

I can't get FaceTime or iMessage to connect, I enter valid password (tested and works for Apple account) and it won't connect. I have checked all settings, upgrades iOS to 8.3 rebooted, changed Apple acount PW still wont connect. My internet connection is fine Safari works and I can access all sites. I have an iPad 2. Any help on this will be greatly appreciate. iPad 2, iOS 8.3
This is an ongoing problem as you will see by searching the forum.
Out of curiosity, do you have 2 step verification enabled? It was recently extended to include iMessage & FaceTime & I'm wondering if it might be causing some of the issues that some users are experiencing. -
I have had to create a new Apple ID after having my previous email locked and put out of use. I have managed to change my purchasing for music and apps to my new Apple ID but for iCloud and iMessage I can not access my old email/Apple ID to change this.
Any ideas guys. Sorry if this has been posted previous.
New here.
ThanksYou need to delete them and then download them from the new Apple ID. This may require repurchasing paid applications.

Help! I'm in South Africa for a month and my iMessage and FaceTime aren't working. When I try to imessage someone, the message says "turn off airplane mode or use wifi to send and receive messages" but i have full wifi strength. When I try to FaceTime, it says to check the number, it might not be complete. I've tried calling the number as usual, then the international number to ca from South Africa to the US.
I have an iPhone 5s, My email is working fine. My phone is on airplane mode but I have full wifi strength. My date and time is set automatically to Cape Town.

Hi,
As I have said in the title, I was supposed to do a restore on my iPad for work. I backed up the device and then I restored it to factory settings as I was instructed. Now that all of that is complete, I tried to restore it from the back up point I created and it will not recognize my Apple ID password. I really hope that I won't lose all of my data, but I don't know what else to do. I have tried entering my password numerous times. I really hope that someone can help me.Restoring an iPad from an iTunes-generated backup should not require an Apple ID password.
Did you encrypt the iPad backup? If so, then trying to restore will require entering the encryption password. -
Facetime and iMessage not working after upgrade to Mountain Lion
Was running Messages (beta) and Facetime on my Macbook Pro with Lion. I used both Facetime and sent iMessages through the Messages client, and they were both working 100%.
Today I upgraded from Lion (latest version) to Mountain Lion. All is working except iMessages (through the Messages application) and Facetime. When I try to log in, using the same @gmail.com account as I had done before, I get the message saying "The server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later".
I know that iMessage, with that account, is working. I am using it from my iPhone and it works ok. And I use the same account in iTunes, and it is ok there as well.
So what is wrong ? What happened with iMessage and Facetime connectivity after the Mountain Lion upgrade ?backup the device with itunes.
Restore the device with itunes and set up as new.
Sign into the facetime and imessage to activate it.
After that is done and activation is good.
Restore from the backup.
Then make sure to sign into facetime and imessage again and you should be good to go

Is someone trying to collect passwords
I accidently typed 198.162.1.1 instead of 192.168.1.1. In the past, I think I would just get an error message advising me that the address doesn't exist. Tonight, a similar log-in screen popped up. I typed admin + my password and of course nothing
