I've had my ipod for about two years,my facetime used to work but then it stopped and wouldn't let me log in so I made a new apple id hoping it would work. but it didn't. every time I try to log in it says 'FaceTime Activation-Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again' It also says the same for iMessanger. what does this mean? my wifi is working so I know its not that. Can someone please help me

- Go to Settings>General>Time&Date and make sure it is set to automatic
- Go to Settings>wifi>your connected network and change the DNS to Google's 8.8.8.8

I can't log into FaceTime because my email address is not associated with my password. I'm in a loop that tells me to change my password. It doesn't work.

I can't log into FaceTime because my email address is not associated with my Apple Password. I'm directed to reset my password and when I do, I'm told that my email address is wrong. I'm in a loop I can't get out of.

Where are you trying to log in? You should be able to change your ID at http://appleid.apple.com - can you log in there?
Before you change your ID you should log out of the iTunes Store and on any devices which are logged into iCloud. Then once you've changed it you can log back in with the new ID. (Your iCloud synced data will disappear from the device when you do this but will reappear when you sign back in - give it time).
If you are unable to sign into http://appleid.apple.com you will need to contact Support. Go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with your iCloud login. A new password will be sent to your associated email address. If this doesn't work you will have to contact Support. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com . Click' See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'. If you have any problems with that try this form: https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

TS4185 I can't log into FaceTime or Messages, checked that my ID and password are correct, checked that settings are set correctly. Could it be that latest OS download changed my configurations that disable access?

Update to above question:
Hello All,
To anyone with the same problem described above, on THEIR iPad (if it is running iOS 7.0.2):
Go to Settings; Mail, Contacts, Calendars; DELETE your *******@btinternet.com e-mail account, that you originally set up either using 'Other', or the 'BT' option which I am sure was in the list previous to the iOS 7 update.
Then ADD a NEW account choosing YAHOO from the list of options. DO NOT USE 'OTHER'.
Enter the correct details just as you (almost certainly) had already done in your previous attempts using 'other'.
When you see the 'verifying......' and 'the blue ticks' you should be able to exit settings and open your mail app and then receive all your 'old' e-mails again, AND be able to SEND as well.
All my 'old' e-mails, were NOT found in the 'old e-mail' folder though. THEY are still in my inbox.
So this fix worked for me.
After I deleted my account from 'OTHER' and put it in Yahoo, I like other people also ended up with more folders.
I hope this works for you on YOUR Apple devices.
Bob

Can't log into facetime or iMessage on iPad

I am sorry to be posting this question again. I have read many other threads on this matter. I have verified my apple ID, I have changed DNS settings, I have set the date and time to automatic, I have hard reset. I'm at a loss and very frustrated. If anyone could help me figure out why I cannot log into FaceTime or iMessage on my iPad, I would greatly appreciate it.

One does not log into FaceTime. What is the real issue?

I can't log into FaceTime

I put my Apple ID in and it takes me to the next page, where it asks me what email address i would like to use. I click on the one i want and it says it is verifying at the top, but it just keeps verifying. How can i log on?

You should have gotten a verifying e-mail sent to you when you setup your Facetime application. It is neccessary for you to go to that verifying e-mail and click on the link which will in fact verify your e-mail with Apple. This must be done in order to activate Facetime on your Mac.

Can't log into Facetime or iMessage.

Getting a "Server encountered a error processing your registration. Please try again later." message after entering my password. I reset me passord and tried again, but still unsuccessful.

I'm having the same issue as well. I just migrated to a new Macbook Air from an old Macbook Pro. Both were running on the latest version of Mountain Lion. My Apple ID/iCloud account services work across all my iOS devices and my old MBP, but for some reason, both FaceTime and iMessage will not log into my Apple ID, even though the info is correct and current. Not sure what to do...

I can't log into FaceTime or iMessage?

I bought a brand new iPad mini 3 from Apple, it is up-to-date as well as the time and date being set to automatic. I have tried manually setting it, which makes no difference. When I attempt to log on to either application, it either does not respond or a message appears informing me that there is a connection error, to check my network and to try again. There is nothing wrong with my connection, as it works perfectly fine with everything else?
I have even attempted to create two separate Apple ID accounts and neither of them have worked.
Can anybody help please?

Apple has a problem with the IPad Mini 3, new AppleIDs and FaceTime, iMessage. This version started back in March.
You need need to call AppleCare and tell them. I went to the Apple Store and while they couldn't help, later when I called AppleCare and they said it was my network I could tell them I tried their network too.
It's not a quick fix. I think they are fixing AppleIDs one at a time!
You don't need a phone number with an iPad to use those apps.
There are a lot of posts here about this, the biggest one is imessage and Facetime sign in activation error iPad ios8.1.2
Start at page 18 for the current issue. Good luck

Does anyone know why I can't log into FaceTime on my macbook pro?

Not enough information. What are you using to sign in?

Can't log into FaceTime/iMessage

Works on all my other Macs, Pads, Phones on the network except one machine. Tries to log in the says "If this is a new Apple ID, you do not need to create another one. To use this Apple ID with FaceTime, contact FaceTime support with the code below.
Customer Code: 0850-9617-6276
Called Apple and they want $29 to talk.
Got to be something I'm overlooking...
help

There is no official public documentation of that alert as far as I know.
If you're trying to sign in to FaceTime, try to sign in to iMessage in the Messages application, or vice versa.
Otherwise, do as the alert directs. According to reports, you won't be charged for the support call if you select "Apple ID"—not the hardware model—as the product you're asking about, and cite the "customer code" in the alert as the "validation code" when you speak to the Apple representative.

Can't log into FaceTime/iMessage "The server encountered an error processing registration" help?

I've checked several other similar questions and tried everything, I can't uninstall and I would reset my mac to factory settings, where it erases everything, but I have expensive programs on here that I can't transfer until later. Anyone have a clue what to do?

Try again from here:

realize that this is still Beta software.

Just changed my apple id password and now I cant log into facetime

I just changed my apple id password and now I can't log into facetime, it doesnt accept my new password.

Hey there caribbeanbeach,
It sounds like you are not able to log into FaceTime after changing your Apple ID password. I would use these troubleshooting steps from the following article to help you troubleshoot the issue:
FaceTime for Mac: Troubleshooting FaceTime
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4185
Activating FaceTime for Mac
Use your Apple ID to register and use FaceTime. FaceTime registration validates your Apple ID and email address for use with FaceTime.
If you are unable to activate FaceTime, try the following:
Verify that you are using a valid Apple ID at appleid.apple.com. You can also create an Apple ID or reset your password from this website.
Check that your email address is verified in FaceTime > Preferences.If FaceTime > Preferences shows your email status as "verifying," follow the instructions in the verification email that was sent to complete the process.
Toggle FaceTime off and on in FaceTime > Preferences.
If still unable to Sign In follow the instructions in FaceTime, Game Center, Messages on OS X: Troubleshooting Sign in
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling
