Help after downloading ios7 my iMessage and FaceTime still isn't working I've tried Everything!!
On Thursday I downloaded the IOs7, since then iMessage and FaceTime hasn't worked. I can't even sign in with my Apple ID when I do it says network error cheek again. Obvious there is nothing wrong as I've been able to sign in here. What should I do I've tried everything!! Nothing is doing it. I've been into several Apple stores and spoke to my carrier. All Apple say is it's the server. Thing is all my friends that downloaded no problems I'm close to chucking this phone against a wàll!!!
majority of ppl are having this issue - i know i am

When trying to activate facetime get the message i get "could not sign in. Please check network connections
My Apple ID is correct
tried with a new apple Id ...doesn't work neither
My connection is correct..;
I ve seen that this issue is frequent within mac users
Can anyone bring some help?
Thank youHello
Try this... I had the same problem and this worked for me.
Go to your system preferences → network → make sure WI-FI selected → advanced → DNS tab. Add 8.8.8.8 to the DNS servers. Go back to FaceTime and try to verify your account again.
Good luck! -
I can't sign in to iMessage on my phone. It says "please check network connection" however i can sign into iCloud on my phone & can sign into iMessages from my mac.
Obvvioulsy I've tried a hard reset & I restored my phone to stock yesterday.So, considering there have been 20 odd pages on queries since I posted this I'm guessing I aint gonna get any help here, so does anyone know if it's possible to get help from Apple without having to pay? I cant get to a genius bar. I'm looking for an email address maybe? I've spent hours searching through forums & have scoured Apples support pages & as far as I can tell the only way to get anything from Apple is by paying them - I've had my phone over a year you see.
Thanks in advance for any help. -

These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network. -
IMessage - could not sign in please check network connection
Hi,
I have 3 macs and a couple of iDevies. All was working fine... Suddenly iMessage does not work on my iMac. All other devices tied to the account have no problem with messages. At first it gave me: "could not send the message please check network connection". After tinkering and waiting a couple of days I then tried to log out and then log in again... Bad idea; I now it gives me a similar message but that it cannot sign in.
AIM and all other internet services work without an issue, no problem with other Apple ID services.
Thanks for any and all ideas.
Regards,
PhillyThis could be a complicated problem to solve, as there are many possible causes for it. Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
Before proceeding, test on another network, if possible. That could be a public Wi-Fi hotspot, if your computer is portable, or a cellular network if you have a mobile device that can share its Internet connection. If you find that iMessage works on the other network, the problem is in your network or at your ISP, not in your computer.
Step 1
Check the status of the service. If the service is down, wait tor it to come back up. There may be a localized outage, even if the status indicator is green.
Step 2
Restart your broadband device and your router, if different. You may have to skip this step if you don't control those devices.
Step 3
From the menu bar, select
▹ About This Mac
Below the "OS X" legend in the window that opens, the OS version appears. Click the version line twice to display the serial number. If the number is missing or invalid according to this web form, take the machine to an Apple Store or other authorized service center to have the problem corrected.
Step 4
Take the steps suggested in this support article. If you don't understand some of the steps or can't carry them out, ask for guidance.
Step 5
From the menu bar, select
▹ System Preferences ▹ Network
If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the Proxies tab. If the box marked SOCKS Proxy is checked, uncheck it. You don’t need to change any other settings in the window. Click OK and then Apply. Test.
The result may be that you can't connect to the Internet at all. Revert the change if that happens, or if iMessage still doesn't work. Remember that you must Apply any changes you make in the preference pane before they take effect.
Step 6
Select from the menu bar
▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Storage
and click
Block all sites from storing information on this computer
Close the preference pane.
Step 7
Make sure you know the ID and password you use with iMessage. Launch the Keychain Access 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 Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Use the search box in the toolbar of the Keychain Access window to find and delete all items with "iMessage" in the name. Log out and log back in.
Step 8
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
If iMessage worked in the guest account, stop here and post your results.
Step 9
Boot in safe mode and log in. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and test again.
If iMessage worked in safe mode, but didn't work when you booted out of safe mode, stop here and post your results.
Step 10
Reset the NVRAM.
Step 11
Reinstall OS X.
Step 12
If none of the above steps resolves the issue, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or contact Apple Support. -
I can't connect to bbc website in firefox. Each time I get the same message: "the connection was reset". Can anyone help?
I can connect http://www.bbc.co.uk/ & you may be interested in http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/diagnostics
Is your problem with streaming audio broadcasts to and are you outside the UK ?
If so you may have fallen prey to the BBC's Content Distribution Network which often seems to produce problems they keep re-issuing advice such as:

IMessage and FaceTime will not activate.
I have an iPhone 4S iOS 6.1.3 on Verizon. My iMessage and FaceTime will not activate.
I have wiped my phone multiple times trying both setting up as a new iPhone and restoring from back up.
I've also reset the settings and network settings.
Any help would be appreciated.To activate you need to be able to send SMS and in some cases that is an international SMS. The SMS is hidden and goes to a numbe rin the UK starting with +44. Are you able to send international SMS? Check with your carrier. Read http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4268

I have a macbook pro and use BT homehub 3. can't work out how to connect my time capsule. can anyone help? thanks
Just need to plug the TC in to the hub in bridge mode.. do not try and bridge the homehub.. it is not possible with the setup BT uses.
To bridge the TC.. plug it directly into a computer by ethernet.. no other connection to the TC or the computer.
Press and hold in reset until the front LED flashes rapidly.. about 10sec.
Release the reset.
Open the airport utility and setup the TC to bridge mode.
The actual method depends on version of the OS and airport utility you use.
This is version 5.
Sorry I cannot post the v6 as I am on a snow leopard computer now. But you go to the network tab, and choose off bridge mode for method of connection. It will be NAT and dhcp by default.
Then setup wireless.. you have a number of choices here.
Either setup with the same SSID Security and password, as the homehub uses.. or a different name, and password..
Each method works fine.. but you sometimes have issues with wireless channels.. for now leave it on auto and see what happens.. if you have issues lock down the radio channels on both devices.. use one out of the following on each, 1, 6, 11 or 13 in UK.. so say 6 on the homehub then 13 onthe TC.
Update the TC.. unplug fromt the computer and plug it into the homehub.
If you have other issues with the setup tell us what OS you run so we can post suitable screenshots. -

My Facebook app stopped working on my iPad. It keeps asking me to put the FB password in settings. When I do it tells me "unable to connect to server". Can anyone help?
This problem affects many (including myself) and seems to be a bug in the integration of the FB app in iOS 7.
You can get around the login problem by turning Settings/Privacy for FB off. However, after you turn that Privacy setting back on after logging in, then iOS 7 will continue to pester you with pop-up messages to enter the password in Settings. This will invariably fail with the error message that you have already experienced, but at least it gives a way of logging in.
The solution will in my view have to come jointly from Apple and FB. -
