Imessage/face time spam
I'm receiving spam via iMessage, FaceTime (attempted connects) and email. All from the same flippin' email address. Is there any way to block this??? It goes on all day long and it's getting really annoying. I can't believe there's no "block" feature for iMessage/FaceTime
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.

Wrong number in my IMessage & Face Time Account
I moved to London in July and purchased a pay as you go Sim card at Vodafon to use in my Iphone 5 which is unlocked. A few months later, I moved to Orange and ported my number, but something when very wrong. I can't receive calls on my number, and when I go to the Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, the number that is diplayed under "You can be reached by IMessage at" is the temporary number I got which is no longer valid. I can't figure out a way to remove it and add my number. I have tried the following but nothing has worked
1) Logging off out of my IMessage and Face time account and relogging in
2) Resetting the Network setting
3) Taking out the UK SIM and putting in my US AT&T SIM
4) Sinking to my Itunes
Need help deleting the temporary number and adding my UK number.
THANKS!!!!Reset Device

after somthing the transfer like 24 later hours they transfered my old number from another carrier witch is 054-xxxxxx
and now not working.
called my carrier and they has no idea how to fix that.
they told me contact apple.
P L E A S E H E L P. . .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... -

IMessage , face time login issue
I am not able to login to use iMessage , i got "wrong user , wrong password" error . What is the solution ?
Try restarting your iPad through the following way:
Hold both the home and power button together
The iPad will shuts down, continue to hold and only release when you usee the Apple logo.
Then try re-entering your Apple ID in iMessage/Facetime settings. -

Hi, I share an iTunes account with my wife. Sometimes she gets my iMessages and I don't and vice versa. Also if people face time me it goes to her phone. How can I stop this from happening?
You can share the same Apple ID in
Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID: here
But for all other Apple services like:
FaceTime, iMessage, iCloud, etc, one of you should use a different Apple ID. -
How do you separate multiiple ios devices using the same apple id account for Face Time calls and iMessaging?
The only way I have seen is to have each device use a if fervent email account, if they all are on the same email the FaceTime connection is either to a phone number or to an email address. If they ar all on the same email, it is up to the user to decide which to use.

I bought my iPad mini two weeks ago and used my apple ID to make it sync with my iPhone. But so far I have not been able to activate iMessage and face time. It only gives me the option of signing in and when I do that I get an error message telling me that either my user name or password for my email is incorrect; even though I have been using my correct my apple ID in the password entry area. My apple ID works for every thing else. Please, can you help in this case?

TS4268 I need help getting my face time and imessage to work.
I need help getting my face time and imessage to work. It is saying wating for activation. I just got my iphone 5 2 days ago. I have reset it from the phone and from itunes on the computer, made sure I'm attached to wifi.
The 3 basic troubleshooting steps are these in order: 1. Restart your iphone 2. Reset your settings/iphone 3. Restore your iphone. Since your iphone is only a couple of days old, you should backup your device before restoring. If you don't have anything on your iphone that you care to lose, then simply restoring without a backup is fine. A quick reset of pressing the sleep/wake button (top of iphone) and your home button simultaneously and holding it until the silver Apple logo appears.

Please help, I can't find face time and Siri icon on my mini ipad? Just bought it I have the IMessage icon and is able to use it.
There is no Siri "icon". You access Siri using the Home button. But you may need to turn it on: Settings App > General > Siri. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4992
Same for the FaceTime function (but if it is ON, there will be an icon): Settings App > FaceTime > [turn it on and set you Apple ID. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4319
