I can't activate FaceTime and iMessage !!!?

Actually this problem has started since iOS 6  . I have an iPhone 4S and iPad mini  running on iOS 6.0.2 and iPad 2 running on iOS 6.0.1
On my iPhone , I can easily activate FaceTime and iMessage without any problems , but that's using my phone number .
Whenever I tried singing in using my Apple ID , I keep getting the  'The user name and password is incorrect '  even though I'm pretty sure its correct .
Same thing goes on my iPad 2 & mini , I tried activating FaceTime and iMessage but it just keeps saying the user name and password is incorrect .
I try to fix my DNS & I've done resets  all other possible solutions I might find but to no avail .
- Funny thing is that when I use a different Apple ID, it gets activated.. anybody can help on what the **** is going on !!!!?
By the way I'm from Egypt and i have a macbook pro running on OSX 10.8.2 but FaceTime & iMessage Works without problems

  • TS4268 I've tried the listed troubleshooting procedures to activate Facetime and iMessage, but no luck. Are there any other options? If it helps, I'm currently overseas and only using WiFi to connect.

        lovethoseleaves,
    Oh no! I am saddened to hear that you are having troubles with your MMS pictures. I know that this can be an important thing to be able to do. I appreciate you working with us to get this matter resolved as well. I see that you have spent time working with us, and I know that can also be frustrating. There are a few things we can check though. Are these to any specific numbers or all? A factory reset certainly should've resolved this. We can check into the account set up as well for that if need be. Please share any additional details that you can think of. Thanks.

  • Cant activate facetime and imessage

    I dont know what is wrong with my account, i can access the itunes and app store with no problems but i cant activate FaceTime and IMessage with the same account so I really need help. I think I have tried everything.

    I had a similar problem setting up my son's iPod yesterday.
    I found that if the iPod's time was not set to sync from Apple's time servers that i couldn't get into iMessage or FaceTime.
    I would keep getting kicked back to the first account activation screen in both apps.
    Don't know if that is your problem too, but it is easy enough to check in the settings date and time tab.
    Hopefully this helps.

  • Can't use facetime and iMessage with my phone number

    I activted Facetime and iMessage on my iphone 4 ios 5 but the my phone number wasn't available . I can only use it with my email

    Hello,
    You wont be able to install the latest version of iTunes on this iBook.
    The latest version of iTunes requires Mac OS X 10.6.8 or higher.
    The iBook will not install Mac OS X 10.6 or higher due to not having an Intel processor.
    With this, you wont be able to sync and iPhone 4,4s or 5 running iOS 6 or higher

  • How to "activate" FaceTime and iMessage??

    My iMessage and FaceTime are both working, but it still says "Waiting for activation.." right under both the FaceTime and iMessage settings. Under the "Receive At" setting, my email address is entered in. When I press on my email address, it takes me to a page shows my Apple ID, my email address, and in gray it says "Vertifying" with my phone number also in gray. I am currently out of the country and am using wifi for my apps, iMessage, FaceTime, and checking email. Why does it still say waiting for activation even though I can use everything fine?

    The verifying message is likely because you are out of the country, and using another carriers network. If it works, then I would not worry about it until you get back. Other than the message, I don't think you said there was limited functionality.

  • HT4245 activate facetime and imessage

    trying to activate FaceTime sends me a text message to a number in England, please help me

    Hello there,
    I just wanted to let you know that despite the fact that I still have not succeeded in activating my iMessage and Facetime on my iPhone 5s but I'm using them regularely from my Apple ID.
    check with your mate and get his /her apple ID, update him/her in the contact list by adding their apple ID under email. What you next need to do is click on messages > choose a contact (let it be your friend in the UK) > his email and then type one letter and pay attention to the colour of the word "Send" if it's blue than you're going to iMessage without any problems if it is green then you're going to be charged for the sms.
    You could also facetime your friend the same way by reaching his her email. For me, this sufices for time being and ends the agony.
    Best regards,

  • TS4268 I can't activate FaceTime & iMessage on my iPad ... Would this have anything to do with already having these set up on my iPhone with the same apple ID?

    I can't activate FaceTime & iMessage on my iPad ... Would this have anything to do with already having these set up on my iPhone with the same apple ID?

    As long as you're logged into the same AppleID on both devices, this is not a problem.  It's only a problem if you're logged into a different AppleID and then try to associate FaceTime with an email that tied to the other AppleID.

  • My facetime and iMessage will not activate with my apple ID

    Ever since I got the phone I can not activate facetime or iMessage on my iPhone 4S, Every time I try to activate in with my apple ID and password it says waiting for activation and when I try to sign in a message pops up and says could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again.  It has nothing to do with the network connection because no matter what wi fi I am on it says the same message. Help Please!

    I found the fix for the error. Took me a few different tries but I got it to work. You have to completely reset your phone (erase all content and settings) and set it as a, "new phone". I advise you to copy all the information that you want/need onto iCloud first. After I did this my facetime and imessage worked perfectly! Hope this helps.
    On a side note as well your contacts won't be erased either but save them on iCloud just in case.

  • TS4268 Why FaceTime and iMessage not activated with non US located Apple ID?

    I have an iPad mini and I'm not able to activate FaceTime and iMessage using my apple ID whcih has a country set as Egypt, and when I tried to use another ID with US as country, it working fine.
    Note: I was able to activate iMessage using the Egpytian ID before updating to IOS 6.
    I guess this is a problem with IOS 6 and as a work arround you can chnage the country of you ID to US (if you don't have payment details set) and it will be activated.

    Note: There is no FaceTime app on iPhone. Use the Phone app instead.
