    I did buy it from someone in Jordan. So they might have got it from KSA, or UAE, or it even might be the same rules in Jordan. I don't think the imessage works even, every time someone sends me a message from their ipad it says "Not delivered". Maybe I am wrong?

  • 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).

  • IOS 6 disaster. Facetime and imessage not working. sync problems

    Hi all.
    I just wanted to know if anyone else  has experienced so many bugs with iOS6?
    Upgraded to an ipad 3 32GB  wifi . Gave my dad ipad 2(restored and logged in with his apple id).
    All was well. Then iOS 6 came along
    I am able to log into my apple id but everytime i try to sign into facetime it says username or password is incorrect.
    it worked a couple times but then stopped working again.
    I am positive the password is correct.
    I reset the password and am using the new one.
    It is correct.
    Restored the ipad.
    worked for a while.. then the same thing
    now i can't sync, Am getting an error message . Currently restoring the ipad again.
    I am able to purchase items on itunes still on my desktop and my apple id seems to be working otherwise.
    Facetime and imessage is not
    please help?
    anyone else experienced similiar issues with iOS6 ?
    It should be mentioned that i couldn't purchase items directly from my ipad with the appstore for a period of time but it worked when i purchased through itunes on my desktop
    Are these bugs associated with iOS6?
    Again any help will be greatly appreciated
    Cheers

    I have the exact same problem!! it's been driving me crazy!! I have iPhone 4 but my iMessage works fine however.
    Just the FaceTime doesn't work at all, my phone number is registered ,
    just when I try to add my email (apple ID) to make the facetime works & activate .. I write down my email & password correctly , it says password is incorrect! =(((
    I changed my password, I tried resetting the settings and turning on & off the phone and all. Nothing Works!!
    this is one of MANY bugs I have after I updated (& made the most terrible mistake of my life) to iOS 6 !!
    Apps are crashing & force closing including their new app store. Youtube application is vey slow. Maps aren't accurate not even half the quality of google maps. Screen freezes sometimes =((
    I'm very disaapointed at Apple seriously!! this could be their one mistake that will drop down their whole legendary iPhone into the sewer! 

  • IOS 6 FaceTime and iMessage

    I got my iPhone 4 just over a week ago and I had it for one day and then the new software came out so I was like awesome I will update it and I did on my iPhone and also on my iPod 4th gen but now I am having problems using FaceTime and iMessage. When I'm out and connected to 3G and I message my sister via iMessage it works fine but then as soon as I get home and I connect to WiFi it comes up with a red ! And that it was not delivered and I have tried face timing to and it keeps saying connection lost I have not tried face time while I am connected to 3G yet as I'm afraid it will use to much data and FaceTime also won't work on my iPod as well.
    Any Help would be good Thanks

  • TS4268 I now have iOS7 and since then my facetime and imessage wont activate. I keep getting a text that is all rubbish from 07786205094 when I try and  activate. I have done everything that apple recommended but nothing. Can anyone help?

    Since installing 7 I cannot get facetime and imessage to activate. I have taken all the steps that have been recommended in supportbut still nothing. I get a text of characters that mean nothing everytime i try. Please can anyone help?
    Thank you!

    Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for error 1604.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
    iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

  • Cannot receive and send from my FaceTime and iMessage on MacBook Air

    Hello,
    I Have Macbook Air (13-inch, late 2010) and its updated to OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)
    processor 1.86 GHz intel core 2 duo
    memory 2GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    FaceTime and iMessage are not working I cannot receive or send.
    my connection is excellent, I turned both of them off and on again on both my iPhone and macbook, all my contacts are synced and everything is fine except that I'm not able to make calls or send and receive messages on my mac.
    what should I do ?
    regards,
    fiji

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test iMessage while in safe mode. FaceTime won't work. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Iphone 4 facetime and imessage OFF but still sending activation text

    I have an iphone 4 (IOS 7) with Facetime and IMessage turned off in settings but everytime the phone is turned on, (and randomly while the phone is on) a text message is sent to 447786305094 (activation). This costs me 25c each time. I do not always get the warning pop up warning about the costs.
    Why is it doing this when the applications are TURNED OFF in the settings?
    Is there a fault with my phone or is it just the way apple does things?
    I have tried turning the applications on and off a number of times, resetting the network settings, hard reboot and even restoring through itunes to fresh system.
    I do not want to use Facetime. I do not want to use IMessage. I do not want to be charged 25c by my carrier to send a text to activate these applications when they are turned off.
    Any advice is much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Thanks lizdance40, I do have a text package with my carrier and want to use that only as their data package isn't good so i have cellular data turned off. I have used iMessage before but i don't want to use it with this setup.
    The carrier i am using is also 'unsupported' for the iphone, that is why i am getting charged for the iMessage / Facetime activation text. 'Supported' carriers don't charge for the activation text.
    I am certain the activation texts are for iMessage and/or Facetime, does iCloud need activation texts? Either way, i also have iCloud turned off.
    I just don't understand why the activation/registration texts are being sent when the applications are supposedly turned off.

  • Has a solution to the FaceTime and iMessages issue been found?

    Hello everyone.  I have been having issues with signing into FaceTime and iMessages with my Apple ID on my new iPad Mini 3.  I am running iOS 8.3, the latest version, and I first noticed the problem when I took my iPad out of the box and set it up for the first time.  I did not notice a problem before that because I was already signed in on a fifth generation iPod Touch and a first generation iPad Air and I stayed signed in at all times.  The apps worked fine when I was signed in, but failed to sign me in again after I had signed myself out on both devices.  I have put in several calls to Apple Care and even spoke with a supervisor who said he forwarded my problem to the engineers.  I was told I would receive a call from Apple when the problem has been resolved.  So far, I have heard nothing.  Does anyone know if this problem has been repaired yet?  Or are they still working on it?

    I'm assuming you have already done the standard troubleshooting steps:
    If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime - Apple Support
    There is is an ongoing thread in the forum & while some have finally had it resolved, others are still waiting,  There seems to be an issue with Date & more specifically Time not syncing properly.
    On one of your devices try resetting by holding down the home & sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears then let go & let the iPad boot up normally,  Try to sign into iMessage/FaceTime again.  You could also try toggling Airplane mode on & off.   Again, some have had success doing this while others have not.

  • How do i use FaceTime and iMessage on Ipad and iPhone

    I want to use FaceTime and iMessage on my iPhone and Ipad with the same Apple account but also with eachother.
    Is this possible?

    Yes it is possible.
    After you activate the apps on all of your devices with your Apple ID - you then have to add another email address at which you can be reached on all but one of the devices - and then remove your Apple ID email address as the contact address on those devices. You can keep the ID on one device as the address at which you can be reached.
    It is really very simple to do, but this user posted this some type ago and it explains how to do it. You can also Google it and find other sites that explain it. But here you go ....
