Help with iMessage and FaceTime settings!

how do you change the phone number in the iMessage and FaceTime settings on an ipad? It will not let me access the phone number from the settings.

Settings > iMessage - Off.
Settings > iTunes & App store. Tap the AppleID & sign out.
Plug it into your computer, select it in iTunes then Restore.
Or Settings > General > Reset - Erase all content & settings then setup as new.

I cannot sign in with iMessage and FaceTime.

My pad run out of battery, after recharge I was no more able to sign in with iMessage and FaceTime.

:go to settings on ipad, click on wifi, then on the right hand side just next to your wifi name there is a blue arrow, click on the blue arrow & look below, there will be a field called DNS, IN the DNS server field just copy and paste the following DNS servers, do not edit anything , just put as it is and also make sure they are no spaces at the start or at the end
208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220

HT5538 Hi there. I have tried everything to make iMessage and FaceTime to work with my number but it won't let me do it. I am moreover concerned as I have another sim forum my same carrier and it works fine with iMessage and FaceTime. I I really need help

Hi I have tried all the tricks from the support to have iMessage and FaceTime running but it is impossible for me to activate these apps with my phone number. Problem is I have another sim from the same carrier and I am able to do it on that one.
I am desperate for a help!
Thanks a lot

Can you make phone calls on the phone that won't activate? Is it only iMessage and Facetime that isn't working? What about data - can you access the internet?
Your last statement didn't make much sense to me: " I still can have the apps working but only from an email"
Pls explain that clearly.

ICloud account doesn't work with iMessage and Facetime

Very simply my iCould account (Appleid) will not work with iMessage or Facetime. This is affecting my iPad 2, iPhone 4 and Macbook which are all running the most up to date OS version available. I always get the error message "This email address cannot be used for iMessage." when I try to add that address to the "Receive at" list.
I have wasted weeks investigating this and think it may be an issue with the setup of my Appleid. My partner's account will work in all the scenario's I have a problem with and after comparing the accounts using https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ the difference seems to be that my partners Apple ID and Primary Email Address is also listed as a Verified Alternate Email Address...
While for my appleid only my Gmail address is listed as an alternative...
Apple will not allow me to add my Primary Email Address as an Alternate Email Address.
Has anybody else had this problem and if so how on earth did you fix it. Apple support have not been particularly useful and I would really like to make full use of iMessage and Facetime on my iPhone, iPpad and Macbook.
Thanks
Robyn

I don't think there is much wrong with your set up as I see it. Using the same alternate address as your primary address is not a good idea, if there is something wrong with your iCloud account and Apple need to contact you they can't. I believe (but may be wrong), that for this reason Apple will no longer let you do this and why you get the error message you do. Your partner may have set hers up before Apple made this a requirement.
Are you able to receive email on your phone via your me address, do you have your me address listed alongside your card in contacts, do you have the email address entered as your ID or alternate address in settings > Facetime.

Does anybody have a fix with iMessage and FaceTime being stuck on "waiting for activation" for Telstra phone numbers? Thanks!

I have recentlly moved to Australia with a iPhone 4s bought in the UK. Although; I stopped of in the Philippines and bought a SMART sim there and iMessage and Facetime worked fine (as it did the UK), as I got to Australia: My iMessage and Facetime worked for 2 weeks on a Telstra sim then I turned them off doing something and ever since they have not been able to come back online, they are always going on "Waiting for activation", I have tried restoring my iPhone, following instructions online. Nothing, so I was wondering if anybody would be able to help me.
Also: My email does work with activating my Facetime and iMessage, it's just trying to activate it on my phone number.
Many Thanks,

Please don't post about beta software in the public forums.

My iCloud Alias Doesn't Work With iMessage and Facetime

I created a new iCloud .me account that also has an alias. I don't want to use my main iCloud account. I tried using my iCloud alias, but iMessage and Facetime won't allow me to use them. Why can't I use my alias account? Is the main iCloud account the only one allowed?

Is everyone just confused about iCloud aliases? Nobody has an answer to this?

Issues with imessage and facetime

Although I am both connected to my wifi at home and I have serive, my new iphone 4s replacement I got today won't let me connect my imessage or facetime with my AppleID even though both the e-mail and the passwords are correct. Any ideas?
Also, when I downloaded all my backup for my apps and everything, my snapchat app won't work now.. I keep getting a pop up that says: "Connect to iTunes to use push notifications. "Snapchat" notificatons may include alerts, sounds, and icon badges" -- and it won't let me hit OK to close the app or the home button to exit to homescrean so I hav to hit the home button twice and then select another app before I can get back to home.
I have already tried turning the phone on and off, restarting, turing my wifi on and off and so now I'm stuck on what to do to help these issues.

Yes, that's how I've been trying to log in. I go to Settings>messages> (imessage is on) > use AppleID for imessage> try and enter the username and password
Then, the pop up I get says: Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again.
I have both wifi and service at this point.
The same thing happens with facetime, too.

Problems after iOS 6.0 update with iMessage and FaceTime

After iOS 6.0 update i had problems to used iMessage and FaceTime

Messages will almost send but stop right before completion. FaceTime will go through only after multiple attempts. After that iMessage will work for a little while. Have talked with folks at apple support but they did not have a solution. Have tried both closing out the programs as well as turning the iPod off and back on. Neither has solved the problem. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks for your help.

Need help with imessage and someone else getting my texts.

Yesterday i bought a phone, NOT A IPHONE, a samsung. And i got a brand new number. The number i got belonged to someone else before they changed theyre phone, the Person has an iphone but changed their number. They CHANGED their number, but for some reason they are receiving MY TEXTS (only from my friends with iphones/imessage
) i was able to get a hold of him and i told him to just turn off his imessage. I read online about that youre supposed to turn off imessage and reset network settings etc. but i did not know at the time i am worried he will sign back into his apple id and get my messages again, or because he turned off imessage and put it back on while my NOW number be erased from his phone? thanks.

Wow...OK...let me see if I can understand that...if I boil all of that down, I think we are at this point.
You still want to send SMS to an email account -- I stand by what I said before; I know of no method that an SMS can be sent to an email. Now, if you are meaning some other kind of "text" or "messages" (there are many many kinds of those), then you will need to clarify exactly what you mean. What I gather from what you've said so far continues to mean "SMS sending to Email".
You do not have BlackBerry Internet Service on your BB plan from your carrier. As such, you will be limited as per this guideline:
http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/What_do_I_need_a_Data_Plan_for%3F
You may think that BIS is ridiculous, but that is a core function and feature of BB's. Period. Without it, all you have is a phone (IMHO).
Good luck!

Help with sequence and export settings

hi
need to edit some clips made with camtasia using the tech smith codec
first i convert clips to dvd using stoki converter
then when i start prem cs4 i not sure which settings to use in the "new sequence" window under the editing mode drop down
also not sure of the settings at export settings under the format drop down
need to maintain the best quality
thanks

For the answer to "what Sequence Preset?" you will want to match your Imported footage 100%, even if that means choosing the Desktop Preset, and then customizing all aspects of it, to match.
For the Export, start with "how do I intend to deliver this material?" That will give you the basic settings, and then you can tweak those to suit. How do you plan to deliver the material?
Good luck,
Hunt

Hey tcap8687,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with iMessage and FaceTime. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
If you have difficulty activating FaceTime or iMessage - Apple Support
If you see "Could not sign in, please check your network connection and try again" when signing in to your Apple ID
To resolve this issue, follow these steps.
Update to the latest version of iOS.
Verify that you have a data connection by going to www.apple.com in Safari. You can complete Apple ID activation using Wi-Fi or a cellular data connection. If you need help connecting to Wi-Fi, follow these steps.
If you're using Wi-Fi, make sure that your local Wi-Fi network is using the recommended Wi-Fi settings.
Sign in to your account and ensure that the primary email address and alternate e-mail addresses have been verified. If verification is pending, follow the instructions in the email Apple sent to that email address to complete verification. Or remove the e-mail addresses from the account.
If your Apple ID isn't an email address, you can change it. The Apple ID that you're using to activate FaceTime or iMessage must be an email address. Find more information on how to change your Apple ID.
Tap Settings > General > Date & Time. Make sure that your iPhone is set to the correct time zone. If Set Automatically is on but the wrong time zone appears, turn Set Automatically off and choose the correct time zone, date, and time.
Enable iMessage and FaceTime while connected to a different Wi-Fi network (in a different location) if a cellular data connection is not available.
You can see that you've activated FaceTime and iMessage with your Apple ID by following these steps.
Tap Settings > FaceTime > You can be reached by FaceTime at:
Tap Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You can be reached by iMessage at:
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

Hi Natasha,
Below is a copy of my post in another thread on this topic. I'm not sure which country you are from, but hope it's helpful.
Possible fix for Australian users on Telstra and using Tango
I'm using the iPhone 5S with iOS 7.0.1 on a contract with Telstra in Australia and have been experiencing the problem with iMessage and FaceTime not activating. My iPhone 4S on iOS 6 worked perfectly on the same network however.
I seem to have now fixed this issue by removing the Tango app (it is similar to Skype). Reading through this thread and seeing the refernces to TuGo triggered my solution, although I believe the 2 apps are entirely unrelated (just have a similar sounding name).
This fix may have been co-incidental, given that I had to wait quite a while for a sync with iTunes to complete. After syncing, I didn't check the settings for Messages and FaceTime to see if they had been activated. I just went straight to the Tango app on the iPhone and deleted it - hey presto, instantly both Messages and FaceTime were activated.
Hope this helps others in Australia who may have Tango installed, and are on the Telstra network.
