Facetime And iMessage (Wrong Apple Id/Password)

Recently I've changed my apple id password for my account,
But when i tried to re-login to my iMessage/FaceTime; it`s showing wrong apple id or password !!!
i`v tried to use my old password but the same message is keep appearing on my iPhone 4s(iOS 5.1.1) And on my MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion),
And tried to change my password again with no result, everything is ok for iTunes,AppStore And iCloud,
The only issue is with these two services (iMessage And FaceTime),
Is there a way to change my apple id password for iMessage separately?
as my modest knowledge about apple account I know that this is a unified id and when you change the password it will be changed for all apple apps and service!
Note: Please don't replay with simple solutions as (reboot your apple devices or restore them) or any user action because I've tried them on all of my apple devices and restored them with no result and I've tried to contact apple support and created a ticket #220407753.
and they couldn't help me and they advised me to check with their technical support center in my country and i think this is weird and bad action from apple support side and the reply was:
"My name is Fritz, from iTunes Store Customer Support and I am happy to help you with this issue.
I understand that you have contacted us because you are unable to access you iMessage. I can certainly understand your concern, and I will be more than happy to get this issue resolved for you, as quickly as possible.
As part of the iTunes Store Customer Support team, we can answer non-technical questions about iTunes Store billing issues, accounts, store content, downloading purchases, and related topics, but we can't answer questions about iMessage. Although your question falls outside of my area of specialty, I will be happy to address your concern regarding your "iMessage."
Mohammed, I would advise you to turn off and turn on your iMessage and try to sign in again using your new password. If this resolution did not resolve the issue, you may wish to contact our iPhone technical support.
AppleCare Technical Support advisors are great people and they will be able to work with you over the phone in order to resolve the issue. A representative will be able to help you determine which option will be most helpful in this case.
Though our technical team might be able to help you out with this specific request let me give you the link to easily locate the exact number which you can call. A representative will be able to tell you about Apple's complimentary and fee-based support options and can help you determine which option will be most helpful in this case. To find the appropriate phone number, please visit:
Contacting Apple for support and service

And I am really shocked by this bad response by Apple.
waiting for an advice
Regards.

Facetime and iMessage is unsuccessful

I live in the Turks and Caicos Islands and im unable to activate my iMessage and Facetime. Maybe because of the country im living in, I dont know. I tried to activate it for weeks and still unsuccessful. My apple ID verified, my cell phone number, im using wi-fi with strong signal and still nothing.

Hey there AshleyTCI,
It sounds like you are having issues activating iMessage and FaceTime. I would recommend you use the following article, named:
iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation - Apple Support
If you see "Waiting for Activation", "Activation unsuccessful", or "An error occurred during activation"
These messages occur when your iPhone is trying to activate your phone number with iMessage or FaceTime.
To resolve these status messages, follow these steps. After each step, turn FaceTime and iMessage off and on again in Settings > Messages and Settings > FaceTime.
Update to the latest version of iOS.
Make sure that you have a cellular network connection with your cellular provider. You need a cellular network connection to activate iMessage and FaceTime with your iPhone phone number.
Go to www.apple.com in Safari to make sure that you have a data connection. You need a data connection to activate iMessage and FaceTime with your iPhone phone number.
Make sure that you can send and receive SMS. You need a valid SMS messaging plan to activate FaceTime and iMessage.
Make sure that FaceTime hasn't been restricted: tap Settings > General > Restrictions > FaceTime.
Set iPhone to the correct time zone: tap Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: If Set Automatically is on but the incorrect time zone appears, turn Set Automatically off and choose the correct time zone, date, and time.
Contact your carrier to verify that there are no restrictions, blocks, or filters on text messages. Restrictions, blocks, or filters on text messaging will prevent iMessage and FaceTime registration from completing.
If "Waiting for Activation" still appears after you perform these steps, turn FaceTime and iMessage off and on in Settings > Messages and Settings > FaceTime. You may need to wait up to 24 hours to complete activation. Most attempts will take less than an hour, but some attempts may take up to 24 hours. If your issue isn't resolved after 24 hours, please contact Apple for assistance. If you've recently performed a remote wipe on your iPhone, wait 24 hours from the time you performed the remote wipe, and then turn iMessage off then back on.
You can still activate iMessage and FaceTime with your Apple ID when these status messages appear. You can see that you've activated FaceTime and iMessage with your Apple ID by tapping:
Settings > FaceTime > You can be reached by FaceTime at:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You can be reached by iMessage at:
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

TS4268 FaceTime and IMessage would not accept my apple ID or password

FaceTime and IMessage would not accept my apple ID or password. It comes up as incorrect password or user name. Then FaceTime waiting for activation .

Go here:
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
Click on "Manage My Account". Verify your info is correct & verified.

HT204053 I got an incorrect apple ID or password with FaceTime and iMessage why?

I got an incorrect apple ID or password with FaceTime and iMessage however not with iCloud why?

Yes, I am using the same ID on both devices. I also logged out of the iTunes application and back in but still get this same message. "The Apple ID you entered couldn't be found or your password was incorrect. Plese try again."
I have another subscription with Admin Magazine that appears to use the same interface and it was able to restore my purchases.

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).

Unable to use my apple id for facetime and imessage.

I recently changed my apple id so that I was not sharing the same id with my son. Now I cannot use my apple id for facetime or imessage. I can use my son's id, but not mine. (So no network errors, just an id problem.)
I am using the latest software - iOS version 8.02
My time and date are correct.
The error message I see is that my user name or password is incorrect, but I am 100% sure that I have entered it correct. Same id/pw works for icloud, itunes, etc.
Same problems exists for iPad 3 as for iPhone 5.
Is there some way I can reset my facetime/imessage settings and clear out any old data that might be stored somewhere (hopefully not wiping out the whole phone/ipad?)
Thanks!
Kelly

Hello Kmart212,
If you are having issues with FaceTime and iMessage, then check out the articles below for more information on how to troubleshoot your issue further. I would also make sure that your new Apple ID is verified and not causing any conflicts.

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 iMessages are not responding anylonger. When I push the app and put in my Apple I.D.

The Facetime and iMessages used to work just fine on my iPod Touch. Now, for some unknown reason, they do not. When I push the app on my home page, they ask for the Apple I.D. and password and I enter them, then it goes to 'Verifying' and suddenly bounces back to 'Enter Apple I.D. and password' again and again. I have checked and my I.D. and password are correct. Does anyone know what could be the problem and how I can fix it?

If you head to Settings -> General -> Date & Time is it set to Automatic?
Try a hard reset of your device. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake andHome buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Otherwise, try using Google's OpenDNS servers to address the issue. Head to Settings -> Wi-Fi and tap the > next to the network you are connected to. Scroll down to the DNSfields and enter in 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.

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.

How to FaceTime and iMessage on multiple apple devices with one iTunes account

We recently received iPad 2's for Christmas and was looking for some advice on how to FaceTime and iMessage on multiple apple devices with One iTunes Account (Apple Id). I have created or attached other e-mail addresses to our apple id but do not know how to use them on the new devices. Our home MacBook Pro uses our main apple id for FaceTime. The iPads have been setup with the main apple id w/o being able to use FaceTime and iMessage.
Please Help...
I appreciate the help and support.

P and V-
If you are trying to connect to someone with a different Apple ID, I think all the devices should work, but one at a time.
The problem is when you try to connect between two with the same Apple ID. Once the calling device tries to make the connection, it finds the second device to be "busy". That is where each needs to use a different E-Mail address when setting it up.
On iOS devices, when you press the Home button to exit an App, the App may still be active in the background, even when the device is sleeping. If FaceTime or iMessage is merely being active that way, it may be enough to "tie up" the E-Mail address.
From the Home screen, double click your Home button. You will see a list of recent Apps along the bottom of the screen. Press and hold on one of them until they start to wiggle. You will then see a red minus sign on each. Pressing the minus sign will remove an App from the list, and stop it from working in the background. (Click the Home button to stop the wiggling, and again to hide the recent Apps.)
