HT3529 Can't get my iMessage or FaceTime to work on my iPad

I've had an iPad since march and since then I haven't been able to get it to work and I don't no why it isn't working, I sign in and that works fine but then it goes to the Email thing and I press next and just says verifying for 2 minutes then stops and goes back to the sign in page and if you try to do it again the same thing keeps happening every time.... I don't know what to do ...

    I just hit the home key very fast 3 times and it worked. Glad to see that someone suggested this to another person with a mini. My gremlins are all gone.  Yea to the forum .......Marci 73361

  • HT1349 How can I get my iPhone 4 FaceTime to work?

    I need help!
    My face time settings are correct.

    Check Settings>FaceTime>On and Settings>General>Restrictions>FaceTime>ON. On the 4 & 4S FaceTime is accessed through contacts.  Go into your Contacts, access the contact you want to FaceTime with and you will see a tab at the bottom of their contact card.  You can also access FaceTime by going into your Phone app, select dialling keypad, dial number, press call and an option for FaceTime on the keypad will appear.   It should be noted that FaceTime has been removed from iPhones sold in some Middle Eastern countries at the express wish of the respective Governments.  This article may also be helpful http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4319

    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.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. 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 (command-V).

  • Can't get iMessage or FaceTime to work

    Hi , my son has a new iPod touch and we can't get the iMessage or FaceTime to work . Both have the same issue
    If I tap on iMessage I get the enter apple ID account info . I enter his password (name already filled) and tap sign in . It goes to the email page where you are supposed to select the email that people will use to iMessage you . If I do nothing , after 3 seconds it flips back to the apple ID sign in page or if I tap next it still flips back to the same page . It doesn't matter what I do it loops back to the sign in page and it's driving me nuts !!
    He can access email , safari , iTunes , app store etc all without issue , it's just the message ans FaceTime that it cannot get to work
    Any help would be much appreciated
    Thanks in advance
    Cheers
    Paul

    Ok, I solved the issue!
    I found the solution in another thread. Edgarmr had the solution:
    Just go to Settings, general, date and time and SWITCH ON the AUTO settings!
    No idea how he found this one out as there is zero logic to it, but it works!
    Edgarmr's original postL
    I also could not connect to the IMessage, after restore the iphone a few times, changing the configuration of the router, I did everything and nothing seemed to be the solution so that I could use the IMessage ... the problem was a little weird for me, but could you verify if it is not your case is similar.
    In the settings, then go to general, the date and time has to be on auto setting.
    It worked perfectly after changing that setting, and the problem was in the iPad and the iphone
    yo tambien no podia conectarme al imessage, despues de restaurar el iphone un par de veces, cambiar la configuracion de mi router, hice de todo y nada parecia ser la solucion para poder usar el imessage... el problema resultó un tanto raro, pero podrias verificar si tu caso es parecido.
    En los ajustes, general, en la opcion de "fecha y hora" tiene que estar en ajuste automatico.
    Funciono a la perfeccion despues de cambiar ese ajuste, y el problema lo tenia en el ipad y en el iphone

  • I just got a new itouch and i can't get imessage or facetime to work on my home network

    I just got a new itouch 4 and i can't get imessage and facetime to work on my home wifi network (Airport Express). I can't explain it. The itouch works fine otherwise uncluding the internet. Facetime and imessage work at the apple store so there must be something wrong with my home network. Please help if you can!
    iPod touch, iOS 5.0.1

    I changed the DNS to 8.8.8.8 as you suggested with no success, I even tried 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 as suggested by others with no success either.  When I try and activate iMessage or Facetime, I still get the same message "could not sign in, please check your network connection".  The internet and Mail work perfectly fine on the iPod touch so the WiFi signal IS going through.  I am at a loss, any other suggestions would be more than welcome. Thanks!
