HT5538 i cant get facetime and imessage to work on my iphone 5 after ios7 update
after my ios7 update on my iphone 5, i cannot facetime or imessage. it just says waiting for activation. help...it has been like this for a week now
Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

Ipad 2 facetime and Imessage didnt work after updated to IOS 7.
Hi everyone,my problem is my Ipad 2 facetime and Imessage didnt work after updated to IOS 7. When i try to login ,it's keep saying
"facetime activation could not sign in please check your network connection" or
"fImessage activation could not sign in please check your network connection"
so,i reset everything and reset my network too,but nothing change.
BUT,when i connect my ipad 2 with my iphone using ad-hoc,the facetime and Imessage worked really good,just like normal.
And my iphone using Optus network.,So when i connect like that,my iphone using 3G and share ad-hoc to my ipad and everything work fine.
SO,anyone having idea of how to fix this problem,please,help me. And thanks alot for your time .I just want everything working normally just like before i update to IOS 7.
NOTE : before i update my ipad and my iphone,everything worked fine with my wireless router. It's just happen to my ipad since the update.
Thanks alot for your time ,any idea will be very helpful to me at this time. Again,thanks for you help .backup the device with itunes.
Restore the device with itunes and set up as new.
Sign into the facetime and imessage to activate it.
After that is done and activation is good.
Restore from the backup.
Then make sure to sign into facetime and imessage again and you should be good to go -

Since upgrading TO iOS 8.3 FaceTime and iMessages stop working at me iPhone 4s.
Facetime and iMessages are working no my iPad with my email direction but not recognizing my celular number, my iPhone. What can I do TO make ig work?
I had this issue with my iPhone5 on Verizon. I just finished a call with Apple, here were the steps we took to correct the issue;
Connected phone to computer, opened iTunes
clicked on the phone icon in iTunes and selected Summary tab
selected Restore iPhone
When asked, selected set up as new, not from a backup. During this process iTunes found and downloaded new carrier settings
When this restore completed I had cell signal
then restored from a backup -

I tried to add an email address to imessage as well as my number so my friend could email me from their ipad.
Firstly it said there was a problem with my apple ID password so i reset that (new password works fine, i have been able to download apps etc since!)
Now under iMessage it just says waiting for activation.. and it is only here i get the message saying my password is incorrect?!
I have tried rebooted and restarted phone many times.
I can no longer send imessages to other iphones, just texts! Its driving me mad!
why will it not recognise my password?! i even tried adding an extra email account and verified that with the password - worked fine!
