Can't log into iMessage and FaceTime
Hi there.
I seem to be having a similar problem to a lot of people here where I get an error from both of these applications telling me to check my network and try again.
I have spent countless hours trawling the support forums and even spent an hour on the phone to apple support and nothing is working!!
I have a 2008 macbook alauminium unibody. 2.4ghz intel core 2 duo and 4gb ram, 250gb harddrive. It should be working! My brother has the exact same macbook as me and his facetime and imessage works perfectly well. I also have an iphone and ipod touch and both of these applications work on those on my wifi network. My flatmate has an imac running leopard which I can sign into facetime with but not on my mac.
Apple support put it down to my wifi provider but that can't be the problem if I can facetime and imessage from my iphone and ipod and the imac in the flat can use facetime!!!! Somebody please help!
Apple have been totally useless which i am very dissapointed with and I just can't sus it out!!!
Thank you!HI,
On the cost I would have no idea.
It is supposed to be part of the process in replacing any of the main boards such as Graphics card or main Logic board (Or Motherboard in some older towers).
If you were the one that had the work done then you should have receipts and proof of what the Serial Number is and what work was done.
If the Mac is a refurb then who ever did that refurb should have "replaced" the Serial Number.
Failing you having any of those details you would just have to ask a Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider.

I have iOS5 installed on my iPad and iPhone. I can't log into iMessage on my iPad as I get the message "Unable to verify email because it is already in use". Can anyone help me solve this?
I've found the answer to this (at least for me)!
The problem is I have 2 AppleIDs. One from before MobileMe which I use to make iTunes purchases (which is linked to my @me.com email) and the second is my MobileMe email address used for MobileMe syncing.
Each AppleID has to be linked to a separate email address. Because my iTunes Apple ID is linked and verified to my @me.com address. My @me.com AppleID address can't be verified.....quite confusing at first but starts to make sense once you get your head around it!
See this thread for futher explanation: https://discussions.apple.com/message/16414211#16414211 -
I can not log into iMessage.
It keeps giving me the error of unable to connect to network.
It says:
iMessage Activation
Could not sign in.
Please check yout network connection and try again.
My email is correct and so is my password.
It happens on wifi and 4G.
What can be causing this?
StanJust hang tight, these services are taking a while to catch up with the traffic on the servers right now. things should start working as the evening goes on.

Loaded iOS 8.3 now I can't log into iMessage or Facetime, how do I fix this?
I am having this issue on my IPAD running 8.3. Can't log in to facetime or iMessage. Cannot turn the apps off and back on (per online suggestion).
I assume Apple has decided that NO ONE should be able to turn these apps off.
Does anyone know whether Apple has acknowledged the issue or is doing anything to resolve it? -

Hello vinay34,
If you are having issues with activating your Apple ID for FaceTime and iMessage, then take a look at the article below to get it sorted out. Make sure that you have the Date and Time set to Automatic as well as any other steps listed in the article.

I can't sign in to imessages and face time with my apple ID, how i can fix it ?
Check Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure that the time zone setting is also set correctly.
If that didn't solve the problem, restart your iPad and try again. If that fails, reset your iPad and try again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -

For some reason i can't sign into imessage and facetime. PLEASE HELP???
Hey tcap8687,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with iMessage and FaceTime. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
If you have difficulty activating FaceTime or iMessage - Apple Support
If you see "Could not sign in, please check your network connection and try again" when signing in to your Apple ID
To resolve this issue, follow these steps.
Update to the latest version of iOS.
Verify that you have a data connection by going to www.apple.com in Safari. You can complete Apple ID activation using Wi-Fi or a cellular data connection. If you need help connecting to Wi-Fi, follow these steps.
If you're using Wi-Fi, make sure that your local Wi-Fi network is using the recommended Wi-Fi settings.
Sign in to your account and ensure that the primary email address and alternate e-mail addresses have been verified. If verification is pending, follow the instructions in the email Apple sent to that email address to complete verification. Or remove the e-mail addresses from the account.
If your Apple ID isn't an email address, you can change it. The Apple ID that you're using to activate FaceTime or iMessage must be an email address. Find more information on how to change your Apple ID.
Tap Settings > General > Date & Time. Make sure that your iPhone is set to the correct time zone. If Set Automatically is on but the wrong time zone appears, turn Set Automatically off and choose the correct time zone, date, and time.
Enable iMessage and FaceTime while connected to a different Wi-Fi network (in a different location) if a cellular data connection is not available.
You can see that you've activated FaceTime and iMessage with your Apple ID by following these steps.
Tap Settings > FaceTime > You can be reached by FaceTime at:
Tap Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You can be reached by iMessage at:
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

I bought my iPad mini two weeks ago and used my apple ID to make it sync with my iPhone. But so far I have not been able to activate iMessage and face time. It only gives me the option of signing in and when I do that I get an error message telling me that either my user name or password for my email is incorrect; even though I have been using my correct my apple ID in the password entry area. My apple ID works for every thing else. Please, can you help in this case?

I have an iPhone 4 and getting a iPod touch for my child, my question is whether to create separate account or have a shared account? I want to share some music and apps but not all and I also want her to be able to iMessage and face time with her own iPod and own account . What's the best way to go?
You can use one Apple ID for purchasing (App Store & iTunes Store) and shared with your child whereas your child uses a different Apple ID for Game Center, e-mail, FaceTime, iMessage. Even on iCloud there you'll get an extra 5GB free.
