IMessages and FaceTime won't allow me to sign in.

It keeps telling me that my username/password is incorrect even though it is right. It happened after I updated my iPad to iOS 6. I've tried changing my DNS and restarting the device, no go. What's up?

Oh goodness.. These things happen with apple every once in a while. I remember when my messages from iMessage would not send.  I am currently experiencing this issue as well. I hope this passes like it did last time with my messaging.

    After each step, toggle  iMessage and FaceTime off and then on again in Settings > Messages and Settings > FaceTime.
    Update to the latest version of iOS.
    Ensure that you have an active Internet connection. Check your Wi-Fi network using standard Wi-Fi network troubleshooting.

  • IMessage and Facetime won't activate on new iphone 5.  Both indicate "Waiting for Activation."  How do I fix?

    iMessage and Facetime won't activate on new iphone 5.  Both indicate "Waiting for Activation."  How do I fix?

    I just activated a new iphone 4s and restored from a backup of my former iphone 3gs - had the same problem - Waiting for Activation on both facetime and imessage. I tried all the usual fixes, reset all, hard reset, turn facetime/imessage on and off, and on and on. 2 hours on phone with tech support to no avail.
    I just found the fix on my own - no clue if it will work for everyone. But it's ridiculously easy and worth a shot so you don't waste hours and hours resetting/synching as I did.
    All I did was go into settings>phone>my number - erase it by touching the ">". Then re-enter it making sure to input with the "+" and country code. For example in the US: +1(508) 569-9901
    No hard reset necessary. I went into settings>facetime and imessage, immediately after inputting my phone number again and the dreaded "waiting for activation" message was gone. I tested sending a message - came thru to the other party fine and facetiming another device (my mom's ipad some distance away) and it rang thru with everything working properly i.e., video/audio.

  • My iMessage and Facetime won't activate, says waiting for activation. All photos and contacts are restored, using email and wifi only, no service. Only issue is date and time will not automatically set.

    Howdy eewebe13,
    So you have no cellular service but are on Wi-Fi yet iMessage and Facetime are waiting for activation.
    Please step through this article for that scenario.

  • My iMessage and Facetime won't work..

    My iMessage and Facetime won't work..Messages weren't sending and whenever I call someone using Facetime, it always says 'Failed'. I'm quite ****** with it. Someone know what to do????

    I guess I will be the one to ask the obvious question...does the one recieving the messages have ios5?
    I have tried to sens messages to other iProducts and they wouldn't go through...turns out they didn't have ios5.
    Just a thought.

  • IMessage and Facetime won't activate phone number

    Hi guys.
    Here's the story.
    I had an Unlocked iPhone 4, bought in Brazil and using a brazilian carrier, till recently, and both iMessage and Facetime worked normally, using my apple ID or my phone number.
    After I was robbed, I got an iPhone 4S, factory unlocked, bought in the United States, and started using it with my brazilian carrier sim.
    I restored my iPhone 4 backup, to maintain all my notes, calendar, photos, etc.
    But now I noticed that facetime and imessage are not working with my phone number. They just keep shoping the message "Waiting for activation" or something like that, with my phone status as "Verifying".
    I tried removing and re-inserting the sim, rebooting the phone, activating and deactivating imessage and facetime, but they just won't verify my number...
    Also, when I check my phone on iTunes, the "Phone Number" field states "N/A". With my former phone the number would show on the iTunes screen.
    Can someone help me? I am running on iOS 5.0.1., no jailbreak and using my brazilian Apple ID.
    Hope someone can help, I tried several online tutorials, such as the timezone one, or the DNS router, and none worked.
    Regards,

  • IMessage and FaceTime won't activate

    Got my iPhone 5 unlocked from England but I'm sure what it was locked to though. I'm from a Caribbean country and when I try to activate them they take my calling credit but do not activate. It keeps telling me activation unsuccessful. I've tried every option possible like signing out and signing in again, tried activating them through wifi with airplane mode on, tried to restore the phone but nothing works.

    Hello Wesario,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post I understand that you have unlocked your iPhone from your previous carrier, and are trying to activate iMessage and FaceTime.  I see you've already done some troubleshooting in attempt to resolve this issue, but some steps do remain as are outlined below.

  • IMessage and FaceTime won't let me log on

    I have an iPod 4th generation 16gb and it seems to think I am a new member so asks me to log on to iMessage and FaceTime with my apple account so I have logged on successfully but now it asks me to choose the email address/phone numbers people can contact me with so I pick the ones I want and select next but then it goes back to the logging on page. To try and solve this I tried switching it on and off multiple times, changing settings, looking on the internet, yet nothing was exactly the same, so nothing worked. Please can people help me.

    Other users have reported same problem with 4G iPod/iOS 6.1.6 and I have not seen a solution. One user reported yesterday or the day before that it just started working again.
