HT204380 FaceTime Activation An error occurred during activation

Trying to log into FaceTime on a new iPod Touch. When I enter my apple id and pass, I get the following error message. "FaceTime Activation...An error occurred during activation. Try Again." I know the apple id and pass are correct, any suggestions.

You may have tried this already, but I was having this same issue too, I messed with it for about an hour, then restarted my phone and signed in again and it worked. Hope it works for you too.

    The update to iOS 8.1.3 was supposed to fix that issue, not cause the problem. Unfortunately, it didn't work for many. take a look at one of these two ongoing discussions. You might be able ro find help in one of them.

  • Facetime keeps saying 'error occurred during activation, please try again' so I cannot open facetime :(

    Facetime will not activate on my phone.
    'error occured during activiation please try again' keeps popping up.  I have tried creating a second apple user and id and the same message continues to pop up.
    My kids and husband can all do facetime from our house, so that rules out the router.

    Turn off iMessage and FaceTime and restart

    Restart your device.
    Turn iMessage and FaceTime back on.
    Still not activated after an hour?
    It might take a few minutes to activate iMessage and FaceTime. If you've waited more than an hour, try these steps:
    Make sure that your device has the latest version of iOS.
    If you're using an iPhone, contact your carrier to make sure that you can receive SMS messages.
    Contact Apple Support.

  • Facetime Activation - An error occured during activation.

    Does anybody else get this? My facetime worked perfectly fine before and all of a sudden I started to get this message. Ive tried logging in from a different facetime account and it tells me the same thing. It won't let me make a new account, it just takes me to a white screen. Any suggestions. Thanks and Happy Holidays.

    Welcome to Discussions, atoub24
    FaceTime need be activated only once. You should not need to change the account info once FaceTime is working.
    Restarting your iPod may eliminate the error message: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If not, see http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/facetime/
    If nothing resolves the problem, take the iPod back to your retailer for service or replacement.

  • Facetime Activation An error occurred during activation. Try again

    User name correct. Pass word correct.  Internet up and running.  Software updates done.  What's going on?!!?  I bought this POS specifically to be able to Face time with family.  Between this and finding out my brand new iPad can subscribe to B&N magazines and I am ready to kill!  Should have bought the Touchpad.
    Can someone please tell me how to get this up and running?!!?

  • TS3367 When I try to activate y FaceTime, I get "An error occurred during activation.  Try again."  I have a good password, I'm on wifi, I've tried toggling off and back on again... why can't I get FaceTime to work?

    When I try to activate my FaceTime, I get an error msg that says, "An error occurred during activation.  Try again."  I have a good password (I used it to get here...); I'm on WiFi; I've toggled FT off and back on again but I cannot get past the error message and get activated.  What's wrong?  Thanks.  Talking about my iPhone (4). 

    Its possible that the server can be down now. Have you ever used it before?  If you want, try resseting the phone by just holding the sleep/wake key and the home button together for 10 seconds.  Then wait 5 seconds when it turns off and press the sleep/wake button to turn it back on.  Then try it again.  Let me know what the results are.

    You can try here:

    However, I suspect an Apple server problem. Many users have been reporting problems with Messages and Facetime today.

    I cannot sign in FaceTime , it keeps on saying an error occurred during activation, please sign in again

    Hey!
    I too was facing the same problem but have found a solution for it. The problem is most likely because of the 'Date & Time' setting. Change to setting to 'Set Automatically' and then try reconnecting to facetime/imessage.
    Hope this helps you as it did to me.
