IOS 6 iMessage/FaceTime Not Working

I was using iOS beta 1 on my iPad but iMessage/FaceTime won't activate - kept telling me my password was incorrect, while it worked everywhere else. Some downgraded to iOS 5.1.1.
Today, I downloaded the public iOS 6 release on my iPhone, and it's not working. Still says wrong password. Because of this, I haven't yet updated my iPad.
Any help? Thanks.

HI All, I think I finaly solved my issue - not really but at least now I am working again- I had a friend's brother who works in apple HQ to check my account and found out that no matter how many times I change my password it doesnt reflect on the server. It works but doesnt show up on his screens that I changed the password so the last password was showing 2009 - offcourse I changed password many times since than- so I figured out maybe its a region issue or Apple is ignoring the rest of the worl d. SO what I did was:
- logged in VPN connection to USA.
-Created an new apple ID and tested - guess what it worked. ( I have tried new apple id with no vpn and it didnt work) this brought me to the conclusion thatits the region.
- so I went in to my original ID changed it to another email. than went back and changed the new ID to use the old email address and it was still working fine. offcourse t I had to remove all crdit card details and stuff from the old ID and anything that I bought is still under that ID no way around that, but now I have a new apple ID with the old email I wanted and its working on oall my devices. It took me nearly 2 months to figure this out and still its not the idel solution but for me it worked.

  • IPhone 4S - iMessage & FaceTime not working.

    My FaceTime and iMessages are not working. (iMessages show as "Not Delivered" and will not receive messages either.) Regular texts work fine though.
    FaceTime loads for ~ 1 second and D/Cs.
    I'm on the iPhone 4S (White). Verizon.
    I have done many things to try to fix it including:
    - Turn off/on Messages and FaceTime
    - Set Date/Time to automatic
    - Restart, reboot, hard reset device
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore new
    - Gone to a genuis at an Apple Retail Store (Irvine)
    I have yet to find a solution.

    Exact same issue -- except I'm with AT&T and I have an iPhone 4 not 4S.  Time to get a new phone?  I finally had to turn off the iMessaging feature just to send, reliably, text messages.  I have had some texts not sent for 45-60 minutes.  Most simply turn to "not delivered" after 15-20 minutes.  For a month or two now I have also noticed that my wife (we got our iPHone 4 on the same day) will receive group text messages seconds to minutes before me.  Sometimes 5-10 minutes before me.  I feel like the dope on those goofy commercials.  But we've got the same phone and we're sitting right next to each other.
    So.... for now I'm stuck with SMS-only texting.

  • IMessage & FaceTime Not Working on iPad after iOS 6.0.1 update?

    I have an iPad 16GB 3rd Generation and whenever I try to sign in with my Apple ID to Messages and FaceTime it pops up with "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again." I have tried so many things for this including resetting my network settings and creating a new Apple ID but my wifi connection works perfectly fine on safari etc but not on iMessage and FaceTime. Please Help?

    Tried that already. It doesn't work.
    The problem isn't that the app is frozen, it just blinks, then closes when you attempt to launch it.
    Thank you for the suggestion, though. I appreciate your willingness to help.
    I may try restoring my iPad tomorrow.

  • IMessage, FaceTime not working...

    Hi,
    It's been about a week that my iPad2/iOS 5.0.1 stopped pushing notifications (twitter Facebook VIBER and others)
    FaceTime on iPad stopped working though it's activated...
    iMessage sends or receives no messages (gives message failed)...
    I have tried Resetting network settings, resetting all, restoring as new iOS...
    I read a few people saying that I need to turn off the show in lock screen and many other suggestions...
    But alas...
    No push notifications from servers, no FaceTime no iMessage
    Only notifications are the ones that happen in iPad (calendar, reminder...) along with push email for iCloud and gmail...
    Knowing that I have tried many tips and none worked...
    Does anyone have a working tip???
    And please do not tell me to check notification and wifi and 3G!!! I've done that all!!!
    It's more like a communication problem with apple servers...
    What can I do???
    Thanks for your help...

  • IMessage is not working in IOS 7 , Any workaround

    iMessage is not working in IOS 7 , Any workaround

    Yap, sad but true...
    The most annoying problem, besides iMessage, is the keyboard, it's horrible on my iPhone 4 in Safari. Some on some formulars the keyboard is so **** slow that I had to stop typing after 2nd word.
    But I could fix the iMessage Problem, first turn off iMsg, then you have to backup your Phone on your PC/Mac in iTunes, turn off auto sync when done and pull the phone off. Then go to the Phone settings and reset everything, then choose "set up as new device".
    When done go to settings and activate iMsg and wait for activation, it will work! After you're done plug the phone back to your PC/Mac and restore from the Backup you made before. Now go to phone settings again and check if iMsg is on, if not (as it was in my case), turn it on and activate again, it will work now!!!
    Attention: Apps and Music have to be resynced or downloaded after this, they are NOT part of the Backup.
    This was what Apple tech. support told me to do and it worked fine.

  • IMessage does not work after upgrade to iOS 8.1.3 to my iPad 4

    iMessage does not work after upgrade to iOS 8.1.3 on my iPad 4

    I Fixed it by trying to sign in with a different ID and canceling when it asked For a password and then signed in with my ID and it works! No more error message. I got this idea from another discussion. Thank you for replying though.

  • IMessage and FaceTime not working on Mac Pro and message stating to contact Support came on

    iMessage and FaceTime not working on Mac Pro and a message stating to contact Support came on with a verification code.  It was working on 8/29 but stopped on 8/30.  When I called support to even speak with anyone they wanted $19.  I don't want to pay $19 for an Apple problem.  I cleared my key chain, also reset my apple ID password but still not working.  Works fine on my iPhone.

    There is no official public documentation of that error message as far as I know, but according to reports, it can mean (at least sometimes) that the same Apple ID is being used with the iTunes Store or one of the other Apple content stores, and the payment method is invalid. Sign in to the store and review your account. You do not, of course, have to provide any billing information to set up an account to use only with iMessage, as it's a free service.
    Otherwise, do what the error message tells you to do. According to reports, you won't be charged for the call if you select "Apple ID" as the product you need support for, and cite the customer code in the alert as the "validation code" to the support representative.

  • Why iMessage is not working properly anymore since i've uploaded the new iOS 6 ??

    Why iMessage is not working properly anymore since i've uploaded the new iOS 6 ??

    I'm having the same problem. I have a 4th gen 32GB iPod Touch, and since upgrading to iOS6, iMessage has been nothing but buggy. It will work for an hour or so, and then randomly stop working as it won't send or receive messages. There's nothing wrong with my wifi, because that's the same as it was before. I really hope someone knows something to fox this problem. Some people use iMessage for good reasons - it needs to be a reliable messaging service like it was in iOS5.
