I have just upgraded to IOS 7 and for some reason iMessage and face time will not work. It asks me for my Apple ID username and password and when I enter then it tries to sign in and then after a few minutes comes up with cannot activate try connection ?

I have just upgraded my iPad to iOS 7 and now FaceTime and iMessage will not allow me to sign in. I enter my appl I'd and password but after a few minutes I get a message to say cannot activate try network connection then try again no matter how many times you do this it will not sign in. Any thoughts ?
Thanks neil

try resetting your phone by turning it off and back on again. The servers may still be having a hard time keeping up, so you may just need to wait a little while and try again.

  • Help....my daughter has an ipod, iphone and ipad and face time will not work

    My daughter has an iphone, ipod and we have a family ipad. for some reason face time will not work. it rings in but the connection is never made. I even had her phone into verizon and they couldn't figure out why facetime wouldn't work. Anyone have any ideas on how we can correct this. It cannot be her phone because it's doing the same thing on her ipod, I cannot get facetime even to call out on our ipad. My oldest daughter has the iphone and a MAC in the same household and hers are working?

    Alot of people are having problems with FaceTime.
    Are you're devices updated?

  • For some reason, mypassword on my iPhone does not work and a I am locked out.  Any idea on how to resolve?

    For some reason my passwrod on my iPhone is not working and now I am locked out.  Any thoughts?  Thanks.

    Connect in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to rest the passcode during this process:
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

  • TS3367 my face time will not work all i see is a green light and thats it

    My face time or photo booth or anything that has to do with the camera will not work i see either a green or red light and thats it ?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Text and face time will not work on wifi

    I am trying to use face time and iMessage on wifi. It worked for a little while, then stopped. Can anyone help with this issue?

    • If you have not already tried it, restart your Mac and test again.
    • If the trouble continues, Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
       suggestions may help you.  The proper "reset" suggested there for your
       particular Mac model or changing to a new user may restore normal function.
    (Over time, Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD."  Regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)

  • I use a IP.board hosted forum, and for some reason the editor tool icons will not show of Firefox. I haven't had this problem until about 2 days ago.

    I have been regularly using an IP.board hosted forum on Mozilla and it has been working fine until as of 2 days ago I suddenly unable to see the post editor icons.
    I looked and found a similar problem as addressed here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/971904
    unfortunately, that remedy given there did no work for me.
    ,Thank you

    What do you see instead of those icons?
    Can you attach a screenshot?
    *http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-do-i-create-screenshot-my-problem
    Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.
    If you see little boxes that show the hex code of the characters then those missing icons are actually supplied by a font that is downloaded from the server (@font-face)
    Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
    You can check the <b>gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page and make sure that it is set to true (if necessary double-click the line to toggle its value).

  • We have not changed any settings and now our face time will not work!

    Since last week I updated my iPhone we now have 4iphone 4s who cannot now get facetime, yet on the same router the 2iphone 5s can receive calls no problem, Antony know why!!!!!!

    If the 4S are still running iOS 6.x, Apple insists that is the problem. Especially after the recent release of 7.1.1.

  • For some reason my iPhone 4s suddenly will not "start sync" when I attach it to my macbook pro. It has worked fine until now. help!

    I have been using my iPhone 4s for a while and had no problem syncing it to my macbook pro with Lion. Suddently today it gives me a message that sync does not start. What can I do to fix this?

    Oops...my phone is running 6.0.1

  • I have an iphone 4 and I have just upgraded to iOS 5. I have lost my progress bar and song repeat function, how can I get them back?

    I have an iphone 4 and I have just upgraded to iOS 5. Unlike some people, I have not really had any problems but I am really annoyed with the new music feature. I have lost my progress bar abd song repeat function. Does anyone know how I can get them back?

    Glad to hear it all works for you.
    For future reference, if your iPhone misbehaves, always try a Reset. It's painless and often solves the problem.
       Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off option that shows up first).
    Enjoy.

    The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x

    Do this first...
    Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...

    After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
    Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...
    Next...
    Upgrade to Mountain Lion
    With Regard to ML...  Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using... Also note that Rosetta is no longer supported in Lion and Mountain Lion...

  • For the 2nd day my iPhone 5 will not let me download updates for apps.  When i click update, it acts as if it is going to update but puts all apps in "waiting" status.  I've tried selecting each, as well as deleting and re-downloading but to no avail.

    For the 2nd day my iPhone 5 will not let me download updates for apps.  I've tried selecting each to click off wait, and have selected new updates indvidually instead of all together.  Also have shut the phone down and have even deleting the apps completely and re-downloaded but to no avail.  Each app continues to sit on my screen with the line below as if it is about to download but never does, and now any apps I've tried to updated will not let me use them.

    Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
    First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
    Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
    When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
    I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!
