I can't sign into FaceTime or iMessage using my Apple ID.

I Have been trying to sign into both iMessage and FaceTime on all my apple devices. And it won't sign into either one of them. I know the password is correct because I am able to use iTunes and iCloud.
but its only with my Apple ID. I signed into FaceTime with my friends account and it worked perfectly fine.
why won't it sign in with mine?

  • Can not sign into FaceTime or iMessage on ipad air

    For some reason I can not sign into FaceTime or iMessage using my Apple ID anymore. They both used to work, but they just stopped.. Now when I try to sign back in I get a message than an error occurred during sign in. I use two different Apple id's, one just for iCloud and one for everything else.

  • I can not sign into FaceTime and my firewall is turned off, help. I'm a Clear internet user, if that matters or helps.

    I'm having trouble signing into facetime. Keeps saying to check my network, but the internet is fine and my firewall is turned off. I'm a Clear internet user and I'm not sure if that makes a difference or not.

    there has been a big problem with facetime and imessage. The best solution for this case is to restore your device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Make sure you back it up. and I would set up facetime before you reinstall your backup and  make sure its working.
