I can't use facetime or imessage after downloading ios 7.

After downloading IOS 7 on my Ipod Touch 5, I could no longer use Imessage or facetime.  I go to my facetime app and it opens with asking for my apple ID et al and then comes up
"FaceTime Activation
Could not sign in.  Please check your
network connection and try again."
When I go to my imessage app the SAME thing occurs.
There is NOTHING wrong with my internet connection.  Safari is going online no problem.  How can I fix this?

Change your iPod DNS to 8.8.8.8
That should work. Cheers

  • Can I use FaceTime or iMessages to correspond to my tutor with its Skype ?

    Hello !
    I would like to use FaceTime or iMessages to talk to my tutor online but he has Skype.
    Is it possible to correspond with him ?
    Kind Regards,
    Jean-Louis

    Alright, after trying stuff for some irritating hours, I think I've got something you can use. I haven't figured out how to get it to run all the time.
    (I must be an idiot becuase I can't find where to upload this file)
    Automator application
    Run Shell Script (ignore this actions input)
    ioreg -n AppleSmartBattery -r | awk '$1~/Capacity/{c[$1]=$3} END{OFMT="%.2f%"; max=c["\"MaxCapacity\""]; print (max>0? 100*c["\"CurrentCapacity\""]/max: "?")}'
    Set Value of Variable
    Variable: new variable... (I called it Battery Life)
    Run AppleScript
    on run {input, parameters}
              if input is less than "3.00" then tell application "Finder" to eject (every disk whose ejectable is true and local volume is true)
              return input
    end run

  • Why does the "set automatically" button keep turning off in the my date & time area of my settings? When it is off I can not use facetime or imessages.keep during off on my iPad?

    I wasn't able to use FaceTime or iMessages and found out it was because the "set auomatically" button was off under date & time in the settings area.  Why does tha button turn off?

    I wouldn't suggest going to get it yourself. You could find yourself in a situation you cannot get out of and could get hurt. Second, as stated before, it is more for misplaced or lost devices, not stolen devices. Many police agencies do not feel they have probable cause, just from your statement on a map location to justify attempts to recover the device. There have been many posts from others who have had devices stolen where the police will not confront someone based on that map location. I understand you are impacted by the theft, but this is what we have insurance for. To protect your content, from now on I suggest you put a passcode on the device. I hope you have changed all of the passwords for accounts you had on the device, since all of your content and data was accessible to the thief.

  • Can't send iMessage after downloading iOS 6

    I can't us iMessage over wifi network now after downloading iOS 6

    Yeah this is really strange...i can use Messages on my home wifi without issue after updating to iOS 6...but from my work wifi network my messages fail 90% of the time. What's most rediculus is that this has been going on for almost a week now & nobody at apple seems to even be acknowledge it's an issue????

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

    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

  • HT6058 I can no longer use facetime or messages after the iOS 7.0.4 update.

    After the most recent update, I can no longer connect to Facetime and I no longer recieve messages.  I can send texts, but I don't think I can receive them.  Any ideas on when a fix can be expected?

    Change your iPod DNS to 8.8.8.8
    That should work. Cheers

  • Can't use copy or paste after downloading iOS8

    Anyone having issues using copy and paste in safari?

    I have exactly the same problem using Safari on my iPad Air.  On my Macbook Pro, Safari works okay and I haven't tried it on my iPhone 5.  All the problems stem from the IOS8 update.  I tried installing google Chrome for Mobiles on my iPad and it worked for a while, but  it too is now destabilised.
    I have reported it to Tech Support in Ireland and they ran a diagnostic test, but so far I haven't heard anything back.  I also filed a bug report and suggest others should do the same.  The more people who report this fault the quicker we should get a fix.

  • Can't access i tunes store after downloading ios7 on i phone 5

    can't access i tunes store after downloading ios 7.0.1

    I think that you will find your answer amongst the other "problem reports" for Safari 5.1 and iTunes 10.4. If you can use your Time Machine to revert to the day before you installed iTunes 10.4 (and Safari 5.1 - if you updated Safari too) you should wait for answers to other's complaints. There is a little known maxim at Mac; don't update an app or the operating system until you find no further problems reported at MacFixit, finetunedmac and Apple's own Support forums.

  • How can I verify my phone number to use FaceTime and iMessage instead of email address!?

    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?

    I want that to be my last option if I need to. I don't want to delete everything and update everything back over. Are the finished with updating the severs? Last night I was unable to sign in using my Apple ID to use FaceTime or iMessage, but now I am logged in, but I can't verify my number. My iMessages are going through with my email instead of my number

  • After software update i am unable to use facetime or imessage

    Last night I prompted for a software update on my ipod touch. At the end of the update it said an error had occured, and then prompted me to restore my ipod. Since the time of the restore I am unable to use Facetime or Imessage as I cannot get signed in. When I enter my apple ID to either of these applications it says "An error occurred during activation. Try again", and when I attempt to "create a new account" both applications say "Unable to contact the (facetime or imessage) server. Try again" - Dokes anyone now how to fix this??????????????

    You can try here:
    Can't Activate FaceTime
    However, I suspect an Apple server problem. Many users have been reporting problems with Messages and Facetime today.

  • HT4623 I have an iPad 4th generation and when I updated to iOS 7 I can't use FaceTime.  Every time I tried to sign in I get a message asking me to check my Network connection.  FaceTime and iMessage are the only application that give me this message.

    Try Reset all settings
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
    Note: Data will not be affected but settings will be reset.

Any suggestions. Went on with Apple, they think its my network. All other wireless equipment can ign on without problems. This happened after I turned imessage off.

    Step by step, how did you arrive at seeing this agreement?

  • How do i use FaceTime and iMessage on Ipad and iPhone

    I want to use FaceTime and iMessage on my iPhone and Ipad with the same Apple account but also with eachother.
    Is this possible?

    Yes it is possible.
    After you activate the apps on all of your devices with your Apple ID - you then have to add another email address at which you can be reached on all but one of the devices - and then remove your Apple ID email address as the contact address on those devices. You can keep the ID on one device as the address at which you can be reached.
    It is really very simple to do, but this user posted this some type ago and it explains how to do it. You can also Google it and find other sites that explain it. But here you go ....

    Your question is backwards, we must assume that you want to upgrade from Lion to 10.8.
