I downloaded os6.0 now missing facetime, messages and Icloud what happened?

I downloaded os6.0 and are now missing Facetime, messages and the Icloud tools what happened? can I get those back?

Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

Email won`t verify for facetime, message and app store

Try to login to verify on the above apps, but when it gets to verifying it just goes back to the start over and over again.
Will sign in to Store via computer only.

Thanks for the reply, but Appleid will only work via webpage and not facetime or message. My mums id wont verify on mine, but mine will on my mums. Have check setting on both and settings are the same. All was okay until it updated itself.

Facetime message and apple ID

I just rec'd a message last night at 10:08 alerting me that my apple ID was used to sign in to Facetime on my son's IPOD touch. He was asleep at that time and my daughter says it was not her. I'm just trying to figure out if the e-mail is time sensitive (sent right when activity occurs) or not? Is this a pretty accurate message ior could it be delayed?
Thanks!

Thank you! That may help sove the mystery...

Messages and bluetooth keyboard send button?

Is there any solution out there to be able to hit the send button on an iPad with the wireless bluetooth keyboard?

I just came up with a solution to this problem that is cheap, and in my case free. I went to the office supply cabinet and fished out the big kind of clip. (http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/963439/OIC-Large-Binder-Clips-2-Wide/?cm_c at=2000000351) The black kind with the wings/handles that flip down. Turned the keyboard off first, since the clip will depress two keys, and clipped the clip around the round part of the keyboard affording a little over hang so nothing can easily depress the power button.

Cannot connect Facetime, Messages, iCloud Documents

Hello people! I'm having problems connecting my iCloud account to Facetime, Messages and iCloud Documents (I mean when I enter Pages, for example, It does not upload new files and doesn't download them the existing files either. But I can connect the same account in Preferences (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Notes, Reminders) and iTunes, without a problem. Actually I have iMessage and Facetime working fine in my iPhone.
It says
Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again.
I've read lots of solutions but none had worked for me.
1) Restored /private/etc/hosts file
2) Deleted all the files with the name ubiquity, ubd, imagent, facetime, messages from Library
3) Deleted certificates and password from Keychain.
4) Changed my DNS to Google Public DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) in Preferences and my router.
5) Tried disabling router's firewall.
6) Opened all the ports in my firewall. (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4245)
7) Installed a fresh copy of ML 10.8.2
8) Tried to login after I killed Imagent process
9) Singing out and Signing in again on iCloud.
10) Tried changing from static to automatic timezone detection.
11) Tried using Wireless connection instead of ethernet (For timezone detection).
What else can I try?

Hi kauer.taylor,
By process of elimination you in fact have a different issue as you have a Serial number.
However I would check that this matches the one on the label as I have heard of bogus numbers being put on machines.
Which of these 11 items have you tried ?
1) Restored /private/etc/hosts file
2) Deleted all the files with the name ubiquity, ubd, imagent, facetime, messages from Library
3) Deleted certificates and password from Keychain.
4) Changed my DNS to Google Public DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) in Preferences and my router.
5) Tried disabling router's firewall.
6) Opened all the ports in my firewall. (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4245)
7) Installed a fresh copy of ML 10.8.2 Hold Off on this one just yet.
8) Tried to login after I killed Imagent process
9) Signing out and Signing in again on iCloud. This should be in the iMessage Account in Messages as it does not have to be the iCloud Apple ID you use.
10) Tried changing from static to automatic timezone detection.
11) Tried using Wireless connection instead of ethernet (For timezone detection).

App Store, Messages and FaceTime Won't Open

I own a Macbook Pro (15-inch mid 2010), OS X Mountain Lion (10.9.5)
I was using my Messages App just this morning and all of a sudden it stopped working.
I have tried opening it from the Applications Folder as well as directly from my Dock.
What happens is the icon for the Messages App bounces several times (usually three after I press it the first time) and the screen will not appear.
The icon shows currently that I have three unread messages and even when I hold and click and try to open a "new message" or an "unread message" the screen won't open.
I tried several other apps just to see if this was an isolated incident, but I found that FaceTime, App Store and iPreview will not open either. They all bounce a few times, but they will not open a screen. My App Store even shows that there is one new update, but it won't open.
I have tried so many things from a lot of older threads but I am completely clueless on what to do.
Can anyone help me?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

I have two Iphones with different email addresses sharing one Apple ID. Will that cause problems with using messaging and FaceTime?

I have two Iphones 5 with different email addresses sharing one Apple ID account.Both are using IOS 8.
I would like to set up a new Apple Id for one of the phones and remove it from the old account.
If I do that, can I move all of the purchased apps and songs to the new Apple account?
Also, will sharing one Apple ID account with two devices cause problems with using messaging and FaceTime?

Sharing an iCloud account between two devices can be done without causing issues with iMessage and FaceTime, just go into Settings for each of these functions and designate separate points of contact (i.e. phone number only, or phone number and unique email address). While that works, you'll then face the problem where a phone call to one iPhone will ring both if on the same Wi-Fi network -- but again, that can be avoided by changing each phone's settings.
Rather than do all that, don't fight it -- use separate IDs for iCloud. You can still use a common ID for iTunes purchases (the ID for purchases and iCloud do not have to be the same) or you can use Family Sharing to share purchases from a primary Apple account.

How do I set up a new phone number for messaging and facetime on my iPad?

My iPad has it's own phone number through Verizon. Before I knew this, I had already set up messages to use my iPhone number. Now I can't figure out how to set up the iPad phone number for messages and facetime on the iPad.

Are you trying to message another Apple device?

How do I change the phone number associated with my messages and facetime? It's tied to my husband's number, and needs to be switched to mine.

I'm trying to change the number associated with our ipad's facetime and messages to my number, not my husbands. When I look under settings, it shows his number, but I don't see the opportunity to change or edit the number.

It will not send notifications for that number to that devcie if turnmed off but the number is still active if selected on other devices.
Messages is lionked through the use of your Apple ID and any numbers or email associated to that ID can be set as notifications.
The Phone numbers seem to be registered before email in messages and the easiest method for setup that I have found is to turn messages off on asll devices that you have under that Apple ID.
Then start with your iphone first, turn messagaes on, wait a few minutes for it to completly register.
Then go to the next device and do the same until complete, with each new device A prompt should come up asking if you want to associate the previous contact metyhod with this device.
Here is a help topic from apple on messges as well.

HT4436 My daughter has an iPod touch which has been set up under my apple ID. I want to change this so that she doesn't receive messages and FaceTime calls from my fiends and vice versa. I have set her up an apple ID with iCloud but the settings still sho

I need help setting up my daughters iPod. She has been using her iPod touch for 6 months using my ID. This caused a problem now that she is a bit more savvy and has learnt to message and FaceTime. I get her calls and she gets mine. I have set her up her own ID with iCloud but when I go to settings for FaceTime and messaging I can't erase my ID. So the problem is not really solved. She will have to access iTunes through me as she doesn't know my password and any games etc have to pass the mummy test. Can anyone help?

Thanks. I have my iPad on my lap and her iPod in my hand. We can FaceTime each other but it won't let either of us message each other. I know mine is activated as I use it frequently. I have activated hers as well. Maybe I will put it in the too hard basket for tonight, sleep on it and try again tomorrow.

Is there a way to change the phone number in Messages and FaceTime?

I have scoured these forums and cannot find a straight answer to this.
Here is the scoop. I switched networks with my iPhone 5, so I bought a SIM for it. I then had my old number switched to it. However, in FaceTime and Messages it still displays the original number for the SiM. Is there any way to change this number to the correct one?
Also, I have two Apple ID's to two different email addresses. One for business and one for personal. Is there a way to use them both for Messages and FaceTime? I try to add the address and it shows a 'sent verification email' but I never receive it.
Thanks for your help

Hi, Steve.
Regarding the iMessage phone number, when you connect your iPhone to iTunes, which number is displayed? Have you tried disabling and re-enabling both iMessage and FaceTime?
About your two iCloud accounts, do you have both configured on your phone as two separate accounts?
Cheers.

Messages and FaceTime just won't activate on my iPad Air all of a sudden; tried a LOT of solutions

About two weeks ago, my iPad Air was spontaneously signed out of Messages and FaceTime when I was using it to browse the web while on the bus, connected via Personal Hotspot on my iPhone. Since then, I haven’t been able to sign in to either Messages or FaceTime. I can still sign in to my iCloud account as normal for other things like contact and bookmark syncing. It’s just Messages and FaceTime that refuse to activate.
The error messages I receive vary between the following:
“An error occurred during activation. Try again."
“Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again."
“Verification failed - The connection to iCloud timed out."
“Unable to contact the iMessage server. Try again."
This iPad Air is a replacement from Apple (quite possibly a refurbished one) that I received in November 2014, after the previous model developed a malfunctioning touchscreen in one corner. It’s worth mentioning that my iPhone and Mac are completely unaffected by any issues, and can also be signed in and out of Messages and FaceTime without a hitch.
I’ve tried an awful lot of things in an attempt to get Messages and FaceTime to sign in successfully on the iPad Air, none of which have worked, and many of which I have tried multiple times.[1]
Things I have tried in an attempt to activate Messages and FaceTime
connecting to different wifi in multiple locations (work and home) and Personal Hotspot from iPhone
signing into Messages and FaceTime with different Apple IDs (these won’t activate Messages and FaceTime either)
wiping iPad with normal restore
wiping iPad with DFU restore
resetting network settings (both after fresh install and after backup restore)
restoring from an October 2014 backup (still have to sign into Messages and FaceTime, still don’t work)
turning off the automatic timezone setting and setting the date and time manually, even though it was correct anyway
deselecting phone number and @me.com so purely using @icloud.com to sign in
running the activation process through VPN connections via London and New York
changing DNS on wifi to 8.8.8.8
updating to iOS 8.2 beta 4
I would love to hear from anybody who can provide the solution as to why Messages and FaceTime just won’t activate. Apple won't provide free support on this as the iPad is now out of warranty.

Messages and FaceTime failing

Everytime I connect to messages and FaceTime I'm faced with these two errors "There was a problem with Messages. You need to quit and open Messages again." and There was a problem with FaceTime. You need to quit and open FaceTime again.
It was fine when I first installed Yosemite so something has happened. I have removed all preferences to do with these items but it still fails. Everything is ok on my other mac, this just affects my macbook pro.
I'm also getting these errors in console which are linked but I don't know where to go from here so any help would be very appreciated.

Hi,
IMAgent may be the issue.
It certainly is the support app that "listens" to the servers of all the account you have that are active in Messages for new messages.
If the app is Quit then it will launch the app (unless your set the "When I Quit, set Messages to Off line" setting).
SOAgent was added to the support structure for Messages for the Sandboxed version in Mavericks.
Nothing in those Console messages indicate it cannot be found.
