Facetime login issue - "Facetime activation"

I purchased a new large iPad and restored it from my old iPad using my computer. For some reason the Facetime on a new iPad took the wrong email, but when I try to change it to my actual email I get this error:
Facetime Activation
Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again.
I've been trying the whole day yesterday. Obviously my network connection is OK.
Any idea how to fix this?

I actually got it working. They wanted me to change my password. So who would've thought??? Once I logged in through this page https://appleid.apple.com/ and changed it, everything started to work again.
PS. Evidently we have to pay for Apple's inability to keep celebrity nudes private by changing our passwords now. I just wish that they clearly labeled it.

  • Cant login to facetime

    Anyone experiencing troubles with facetime logins today?  Error message "could not sign in.  Please check your network connection and try again."  I have internet access (currently connected to this site) so my net connection is fine. 
    Any thoughts?

    I had the similar problem, when I signed out of FaceTime I could not log back in using same apple I'd and password, in the end I had went on apple ID on the website , which said my password had expired !, I reset it , then went back to FaceTime and worked straight away, this solved my issue, hope this help others.

  • Apple ID not variable by user login -- but FaceTime works

    Have several user logins on this MacBook Pro. The new FaceTime defaults to the owner's MobileMe ID instead of the User's. It does, of course, use my private address book rather than the owner's.
    How can I set each user's preferences?

  • Why my iphone's iMessage and Facetime can't be activated?

    hi, I just bought an iphone4 from the Mississauga apple store two days ago, the iMessage and Facetime can't be activated, so these things are what I tried: (my SIM card matches with my iphone, have a valid carrier, and I paid my bill and have a valid phone number)
    1. I connected my iphone to the wifi, and make sure it works,
    2. created an account on apple store, and make sure it has been logged on,
    3. logged that e-mail account that I used to creat apple account on to my iphone ---> Mail,
    4. go to Settings ---> iMessage, and turned it on, and did whatever it told me to do, then it just saying:"Waiting for activation..." for 2 or 3 hours, and told me that activation failed, and the same thing goes with the Facetime.
    I tried with each of them 3 times, none of them are working, so I give up, and asked my friend use to working at the ginues bar in an apple store to help me, so:
    He download iTunes onto my PC, connected my iphone to my PC, and logged my apple account onto iTunes, then did the PC and iphone thing which I don't really understand, and redo what I did above, and my iMessage and Facetime still can't work, and use he's iphone to call mine with facetime, use mine to call his with facetime, none of the calls worked.
    At the end, we even dialed #*5005*7672# to check the SMS service centre number.
    ***BTW, I CANNOT even send text messages to my friends, I can only call them.
    Is there anything else I can try to make the iMessage and facetime working? Or should I just go to the store and ask for an exchange or refund?
    T_T, I just can't believe I can't even send out text messages with the iphone which even the unsmart phones can do.
    Help me, plzzzzzz

    Hey Bogdannae,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    You might need to user recovery mode since it is staying at the Apple logo.

  • Facetime login no longer works

    Facetime login no longer works.
    Messages:
    Either check your network OR
    Server problem OR
    Incorrect Apple ID or password
    Signing In.. stays for ever.
    No problem signing in with my Apple ID in iTunes or any Web Browser.
    By the way I didn't mistype anything in case you wanted to ask.
    It seems every time Apple tries to merge an iPhone app with OS X it creates problems.

    An additional note... I realized later that the iCloud id with which I was signed into the MacBook was now different ([email protected]), when I got errors trying to sign into FaceTime with [email protected]  However, when I sign into FaceTime using [email protected] (same as the iCloud login), FaceTime works fine.

    After the most recent update, I have been unable to login to facetime.  My id is correct.  Any suggestions?  Thanks!

    I have this same problem except that I moved my account to another computer (AIR). I verified that my Apple ID and password are correct through my account on the apple page. My config is the same as the above. I also tried the DNS 8.8.8.8 entry which did not work either.
