This seems to be a common issue within the last few days (at least). It also seems to be on Apple's end but one never knows. There are numerous other posts here in these forums outlining the same issue. Here are a couple of them:

Tried everything, FaceTime has an error occurred during activation on my iPad Air.
Maybe one of them will help you out, but if the issue is indeed on Apple's end, there's not much anyone can do until they resolve it.

  • TS4268 Messaging and Face time on i pad stopped working yesterday. Tried everything suggested Help!

    Messaging and Face Time stopped working yesterday, tried all methods suggested. HELP!

    An issue came up in the last couple of weeks regarding a bug in the facetime software.  It was repaired by the most recent upgrade.  So make sure you are current (ios 7.1.1)  And tell whoever you are trying to talk to to do the same.  See if that clears it up.

    I have an iPhone and my 9 year old has an iPad, they are both linked to my Apple ID however I want his to be separate now so that we can send messages and face time. Any suggestions how I do this???

    Thank you. I tried changing his id but it changed it on both devices:( Don't really have a clue:( I have set up an email account so that he can get an Apple ID.
    Do you by chance know how I do this?!?

  • Face Time not working consistently from Kabul, Afghanistan.  Any ideas?

    I am in Kabul, Afghanistan and have an iPhone 4S that I can Face Time with my family successfully.  They are in the US.  I am calling their iPhone 4 and Macs.  When I try calling other iPhones and/or Mac's (also in the US), I get the error message that their phones are not available.  From email exchanges I have made, with the parties I am trying to call, it appears that they have done everything they need to do to Face Time successfully.  In fact, they are able to Face Time with everyone else but me.
    Where I am located, in order for Face Time to work, I have to have the wifi turned on, iPhone in Airplane mode, and cellular services turned off.  Any other combination will not work.  The fact that I can Face Time with some people tells me that this procedure does work.
    The only difference I can see exists in my Contact list.  People that I can face Time with, have a "Movie Camera Icon" on their contact page Face Time button.  Everyone else does not.  Does this mean anything?

  • Messages and Face Time stopped accepting Apple ID password

    I'm running Mavericks with the latest update on iMac.  Both Messages and FaceTime no longer accept my Apple ID password and therefore no longer work.
    1.  Reinstalled OS X from Recover mode.
    2.  Changed Apple ID password successfully
    3.  No issues with Messages and FaceTime on other devices, (MacBook Pro running Mavericks, next to last update, iPad mini, iPad, iPhone 4.)
    Both before and after I successfully changed my Apple ID password, Messages brings up an error message that my Apple ID can't be used at this time and to contact support with the code 1598-4649-2012.  When I call Support, the automated message says my iMac is out of warranty and I have to pay $59 for support.
    Is there any other way to restore Messages and FaceTime which were working properly until around the time I updated Mavericks?

    I'm having a similar problem.
    Messages will not accept Apple ID and Password
    Every time I try to use Messages on my MacBook Pro a window pops up asking for my Apple ID and Password. After entering my Apple ID and Password I keep getting a window
    I can log In to iCloud, and iTunes with the same Apple ID and Password on my MacBook Pro, Mac Mini, & iPhone 5S. All are updated, OS X Mavericks 10.9.4on Macs & IOS 8 on iPhone and changed my password.

  • Face Time not working in iPhone or iPad since upgradation to vers. iOS 7.1.1

    I am in India and face time is not working since software upgradation to iOS 7.1.1 in my both iPhone 4 and iPad 2.
    Please help to restore this feature.

    It takes two to tango.
    To have FaceTime running all devices should have IOS 7.1.1 or IOS 6.1.6 for older devices.

  • Imessage & Face Time not working on mavericks

    Imessage and Face Time is not working on Maveriks!, any solution????
    I try changing passwords, on Icloud, Apple ID, restarting, loug out and back in and nothing!

    Yeah I have a fix.  I do not recommend you do this unless you know what you are doing....  go to the apple store and get a tech to get the serial number back into the bios of the mac.
    You need to find your serial number on the bottom of your mac or if older mbp remove battery and it is inside the battery housing.
    Use this program to write the serial number to the board.

    FYI you don't need to use a CD you can use a USB and on bootup hold the option key down and you can boot from the USB stick.
    If you have questions please do not hesitate to ask.

    Hi guys,
    I keep getting "waiting for activation" on my iMessage. I can only send/receive iMessage from my email address, NOT my phone number.
    I have done all kind of fixing suggestions that I can find online, but nothing works so far.
    - Date & time set as automatic (I don't know why this matter, but mine was already set as automatic from the begining)
    - Reset network setting
    - Changing the DNS to 8.8.8.8.
    - Restore to factory setting (from back up & as new iPhone)
    - Turning on/off iMessage & facetime
    - Sign out/in of apple ID
    - Change location from apple ID
    - Hard reset/reboot
    And many others.
    ...me too. I'm in Portugal having the same issue!! Hopefuly Apple will give us a solution, shortly...
