  • Fact Time and iMessage will not work on

    Face Time will not verify my emails and phone number on my iMac.  Face Time is working on my iPad 2 and iPhone 5.  All were working fine up until 2 days ago.  I tried to Face Time on my iMac and I had to login and verify.  Verify would just spin, spin, spin.  iMessage will not work on the iMac as well.  Same thing, was working fine up until Face Time quit functioning.  All devices have been working on the same router/Wi-Fi.  My operating system is Mavericks.  Have had no problems until now.  HELP!

  • My facetime and imessages are not working properly.Although the apple id sign in is working the verufucation process isnt...please help.

    im a new apple user...my facetime and imessages do not seem to be working properly...although when it asks to sign in and i do get through that window but when the verification process comes i dont know what happens but i am sent back to the sign in window....please help.

    I assume you have turned the Bluetooth on.... (Bluetooth not working).
    On the iPad, try a reset (hold the power and home keys down until the Apple logo appears). I do not have an iPhone so I have no suggestion there.

  • Both FaceTime and iMessage is not working on my Macbook Air

    My facetime and imessage both randomly stopped working last week.  I upgraded to Mavericks a few weeks ago but have only been having an issue for around a week.  I have found that they do work if I log into my guest account, but they do not work on my main account.  I have even reinstalled Mavericks, but have had no luck.
    Any help would be amazing!

    aiizaztarliq21: I solved my problem, and here is how I did it. I don't know if it will work for you or not, but it's worth a shot.
    1. Make the time zone on the Mac not automatic (but correct to your time and zone), and change something in that pref. pane so that it overwrites the old prefs file.
    2. Log out of iMessages, iCloud, etc., on your iOS devices
    3. Un-associate your Apple ID with your computer user login (in System Preferences > Users and Groups).
    4. Sign out of iCloud on your Mac.
    5. Reboot.
    6. Re-associate your Apple ID with your user login. If you see a caution icon next to it, double-click. Should disappear.
    7. Launch iMessages and attempt to log in.
    8. Then log in to iCloud via System Preferences > iCloud
    If that doesn't work, do these steps, then go back to # 1, above.
    9. Delete all the Apple tokens and keys in the Keychain (might break some other things--may be why I can't log in via Safari right now).
    10. Reinstall Mavericks/OS X.
    11. Repeat steps 1–8.

  • My facetime and iMessage will not activate with my apple ID

    Ever since I got the phone I can not activate facetime or iMessage on my iPhone 4S, Every time I try to activate in with my apple ID and password it says waiting for activation and when I try to sign in a message pops up and says could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again.  It has nothing to do with the network connection because no matter what wi fi I am on it says the same message. Help Please!

    I found the fix for the error. Took me a few different tries but I got it to work. You have to completely reset your phone (erase all content and settings) and set it as a, "new phone". I advise you to copy all the information that you want/need onto iCloud first. After I did this my facetime and imessage worked perfectly! Hope this helps.
    On a side note as well your contacts won't be erased either but save them on iCloud just in case.

  • My facetime and imessage are not working! They were literally were working one minute and not the next!  I have reset (NOT RESTORED) my ipod, however these 2 apple apps are not working now, anyone have any idea why???

    My ipod touch seems to have a few issues, however my pre-installed and updated imessage and facetime were literally working last night, and after a breif break to charge battery (the back of the ipod was SUPER HOT) wasn't able to do facetime or imessage, and am STILL NOT today, what gives?? Any suggestions and advice?.

    Found the answer, at least for now!  Thanks to roryjt, and having to search through tons of post on imessage and facetime issues!  Changed the DNS on my ipod for my wireless network to 8.8.8.8   Not sure if it will work outside of my wireless network, but since its an ipod, not an iphone, I usually only use it in my place/on my network.  Below is a link to the thread by roryjt.

But the thing is , after I've replaced my hotmail email address into YAHOO one... my MAIL starts to work properly as usual , but it doesn't work for my IMESSAGE and FACETIME ..... Can somebody help me with these ??

  • Facetime and messages will not work

    Cannot connect to facetime or messages on iPad.  I put in password and it says to check network connection which is fine on other devices.

    I'm not sure how a functioning network connection on a DIFFERENT device has anything to do with your iPad. Be sure the iPad is connected to either a cellular or WiFi connection.
    Are you able to browse the Internet with Safari or another browser? Can you send and receive email?

  • Ever since updating to ios6, my iPhone 4 has weak to no wifi signal and iMessage will not work, MMS stopped working, and I don't get my social network notifications on wifi unless I'm close tithe router or I catch a good signal from it.

    The update has completely screwed up my 4.. No more iMessage over WiFi, I have to hold my phone in the air sometimes to catch a signal and I never had to do that before, and after the update I can't send any pictures, over iMessage or 3G .. And with the weak signal I only get my notifications from apps when it wants to.. I'll be connected to wifi and using it, but won't get any notifications, or when I do.. Its whenever the signal has registered or my phone has authenticated it, I've had these problems since last year with no fix, I've reset my router countless times, I'm on Verizon and NEVER had wifi or imessage issues before ios6 .

    Make Genius Appointment and take your iPhone to the Apple Store. Only Genius can make these determinations. The broken screen voids your Warranty. The Genius could overlook this, you never know. Take your iPhone to Apple Store, hope for the best, but be prepared to pay $149 for Out of Warranty Replacement iPhone 4. A good price for replacement of an iPhone 4 with broken screen and WiFi problems.
