I cannot activate iMessage and Facetime in my iPad and Macbook Pro

Hi everyone,
Last month, my iPad Air 3G (ran iOS 7.2) and my Macbook Pro (ran Yosemite OS 10.10), I could use iMessage and Facetime in both of them normally. But after upgrading iPad to 8.3, I can not sign in with my Apple ID on 2 devices anymore. It always has error: 'Could not sign in with your Apple ID. Please check your internet connection" when signing up in iPad and Macbook Pro.
I tried many ways: reset network, reset device... with iPad but it didn't work. Please help me. Thanks a lot.
Regards

  • Cannot activate iMessage or FaceTime on my iPad 2

    When I try to activate iMessage or FaceTime from settings-general-..., I get "iMessage (or FaceTime) Activation   Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again.". I get the same result trying to activate from within FaceTime. At one time all of this worked fine without issue. I was able to send and receive messages or FaceTime sessions. One day trying to FaceTime I get the login requirement. This has been the case now for about 3 or four months. Periodically I have come back to try without success.
    Have tried the numerous suggestions from this site from DNS IP changes to time zone to logging out of iTune to resetting the devise etc, etc, etc. Results are always the same. I have an iPhone that works fine for these two apps. Seems I crossed a line somewhere in the past and can't get back over.
    Can't seem to find a solution here or otherwise on the NET.
    Any suggestions.

  • I cannot activate imessage or facetime in the ipad settings

    I have an ipad 4 running version 5.1.1 When I attempt to activate messages or facetime in settings the slide immediately reverts to the 'off' position. When I attempt to sign into imessage I receive a message telling me I can't sign in and to check the wifi connection. (The wifi connection is fine.) I assume this is because imessages haven't been activated in settings. Can anyone assist?

  • Messages and FaceTime keep disconnecting from my MacBook Pro.

    iMessage and FaceTime keep disconnecting from my MacBook Pro. I’ve never turned either of them off on my computer, but every time I turn them back on, they work for about a week, and then I start getting messages and phone calls on my iPhone and iPad but not on my MacBook. Is anyone else having this problem?

    I'll ask the hosts to move this post to Yosemite.

  • Cannot activate iMessage or FaceTime on new iPhone 5

    Have tried all recommended fixes but none work. Factory reset, turned off and on forever? Does Apple have a bug fix for this issue?

  • My husband and I both use the same Apple ID, but we can't use his number for iMessaging or FaceTime on his iPad and still have access to all our other music and apps... How can I add his number to be used?

    I want to use my husband's contact number on his iPad so that we can iMessage and especially FaceTime, but we share the same Apple ID. This works fine on our phones, why can't we have the option to use his contact number on his iPad the same way? This iPad can only be used with WiFi (contrary to what we were told upon purchasing it...). Anyone have any helpful advice??

    This is not an area where I have any expertise, but you may want to consider using separate Apple IDs and using the recently released Family Sharing capabilities which still allow you to share your music and apps.

    Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
    No content is affected by this procedure.

  • Hello. I have an iphone 5s and i can not activate imessage nor facetime. I followed all the steps provided by the apple page and still i can not make it connect. The phone is connected to wifi at all times and has ios 8.

    Can you send SMS by using the mobile data network instead of Wi-Fi? I had the same problem setting up my 5s from a backup of my 4s. Only after I sent an SMS via mobile data network, somehow iMessage and FaceTime got activated a couple of minutes later without me doing anything else.
    I even changed my Apple ID password, because at one point I could not log into my account when iMessage asked for my account details.

  • I cannot activate iMessage on my iPod touch

    I get a "cannot activate iMessage" note when trying to sign in. iMessage works perfectly with my iPhone on the same network. I have restored the iPod. I have turned on and off wifi. I have adjusted DNs to 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4. I have reset the iPod. But no luck activating. I have also checked date and time are auto updated. Software is up to date. Location services is on. I have literally gone through all trouble shooting available online. Have I missed any tricks?

    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.

  • Cannot activate imessage io7

    cannot activate imessage on io7

    Have you updated your iOS to 5.1? Just confirming as it says "iPhone 4S, iOS 5.0.1" in your thread.
    Double check if you have credit in your mobile in order to activate iMessage.
    Turn iMessage off and on again, than turn off your phone (long press display off and on button) and slide to turn off. Turn your phone back on, enter your "Apple I.D" in the iMessage window and wait till it verifies everything.
    Tell us if it solves the issue.
