Ipad air cant sign in imessage and facetime for ios 8.1.2

Hi
Before I make this topic, I read a lot of topics about the same problem as mine and I cant fine any solution. So my problem is: after updating to 8.1.2 for my ipad air, I have to sign in my imessage and facetime again and it says: "Imessage or Facetime activation. An error occurred during activation. Try again."
What I have done is
     _ Set Date&Time automatically,
     _ Set My info to my contact number
     _ Reset network setting
     _ Sign out icloud and sign in again
     _ Sing out apple ID and sign in again
So, is there any way to fix the problem now or we have to wait from the engineers?
Thank you

Same problem here and "handoff" without function.
"Done everything too
     _ Set Date&Time automatically,
     _ Set My info to my contact number
     _ Reset network setting
     _ Sign out icloud and sign in again
     _ Sing out apple ID and sign in again!"
plus
new apple-ID
Hardware - and Softwarereset
try another network

I can't sign in imessages and facetime

I can't sign in imessages and facetime !!

... we might need more info than that! why can't you sign in and what happens? any error message?
if the issue happens when you're trying to reach someone who doesn't have an appleid or is not connected, then it's normal.
also check in settings>general>date & time> and set automaticly ON, that's a problem with facetime and iMessage...

For some reason i can't sign into imessage and facetime. PLEASE HELP???

Hey tcap8687,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with iMessage and FaceTime. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
If you have difficulty activating FaceTime or iMessage - Apple Support
If you see "Could not sign in, please check your network connection and try again" when signing in to your Apple ID
To resolve this issue, follow these steps.
Update to the latest version of iOS.
Verify that you have a data connection by going to www.apple.com in Safari. You can complete Apple ID activation using Wi-Fi or a cellular data connection. If you need help connecting to Wi-Fi, follow these steps.
If you're using Wi-Fi, make sure that your local Wi-Fi network is using the recommended Wi-Fi settings.
Sign in to your account and ensure that the primary email address and alternate e-mail addresses have been verified. If verification is pending, follow the instructions in the email Apple sent to that email address to complete verification. Or remove the e-mail addresses from the account.
If your Apple ID isn't an email address, you can change it. The Apple ID that you're using to activate FaceTime or iMessage must be an email address. Find more information on how to change your Apple ID.
Tap Settings > General > Date & Time. Make sure that your iPhone is set to the correct time zone. If Set Automatically is on but the wrong time zone appears, turn Set Automatically off and choose the correct time zone, date, and time.
Enable iMessage and FaceTime while connected to a different Wi-Fi network (in a different location) if a cellular data connection is not available.
You can see that you've activated FaceTime and iMessage with your Apple ID by following these steps.
Tap Settings > FaceTime > You can be reached by FaceTime at:
Tap Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You can be reached by iMessage at:
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

My iphone 5 wont let me sign into imessage and facetime!

I recently bought a iphone 5 from my aunt. I went to AT&T to go activate and switch over phones. (I had a iphone 3gs). I later went home and tried to log into my imessage and facetime, but it wouldnt let me. I keep trying and it says "iMessage Actavation - Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try agian". I have wifi so my internet can not be the problem & and my internet on my phone works great. I can sign into my itunes and icloud witout any problems. I tried turning my phone off and on, restore the iphone and reset the settings. Ive also tried calling my company but said they couldnt help. And I called Apple and told me to the same time ive already tried doing. I dont know what to do anymore. And im hoping someone can help me out! Thank you!

One thing to remeber , this issue occurs because of poor wifi or internet connection. If this isn't fault in your case, try these because it happens in all products of apple like mac,ipad mini,ipod touch..
Check you apple id and sign in again.
Change you DNS to open DNS or Reset you network settings.
Reboot you iphone once.

Have multiple devices associated with one Apple ID: iPod Touch and Ipad Mini stopped sending/receiving iMessages and FaceTime all of a sudden

This is the listing of what we have:
Ipod Touch 4th Gen for daughter
Ipod Touch 5th Gen for another daughter
Ipad 3
Ipad Mini
Iphone 4S
Iphone 4S
For sharing/downloading convenience, all of these are linked to one apple ID. iMessage and FaceTime were working flowlessly when we set it up. Yes, there was a problem initially where some devices were receiving someone else's texts, but they were resolved when I went to Settings and chose a specific # or email address for each DEVICE (so there's no overlapping)
All of a sudden, my daughter's Ipod Touch 4th Gen started having problems sending messges. Sending bar will go up to the end then stop right before it gets completely full--end result, message not delivered. I tried to facetime her, but nothing happens. Sometimes when I try facetiming ipod touch 4th, I'd get an error message '____ is not available for FaceTime'
I've confirmed the email address associated with ipod Touch 4 has been added and verified under my apple ID. I've tried restoring the iPod in iTunes, hard resetting the unit, turning off and on iMessage/FaceTime... and still doesn't work.
All our software is up to date. By the time I started thinking maybe ipod touch 4th gen is getting old, my husband's newly bought ipad MINI started having the same problem.
This is really frustrating---help?

We're screwwwwwed! Not THAT familiar to apple, just barely plugging along and dove in with two ipads and two ipod touches. Previous experience was just two ipods (160 GB) that I had to still rotate audio books out of every few months... well, for me. My wife doesn't use hers as much. ANYWAY, I lost a zillion things with the ipod classic since it didn't have a back-up option and many of the CDs I scrounged up when it first came out were already lucky to have survived college. 8 years later and the computer that had the original files had been replaced umpteen times. ipods failed and decided to quit being a tight wad. Not sure if these gifts are worth it yet.... well, two of them were.

FaceTime, Game Center, Messages: Troubleshooting sign in issues

Is anyone experiencing problems signing into imessage and FaceTime since upgrading iOS 6?

Since upgrading to iOS 6, is there anyone who have had problems signing into iMessage and face time? I need some assistance!

I think I've fixed it !!
not sure if this will work for everone but I noticed when you go on settings>messages>Send & Receive it was displaying my Apple ID twice and underneath where is says "You can be reached by iMessage at:" , it was displaying my email address twice as well, so I clicked on my Apple ID and signed out, restarted my ipod and signed back into iMessage in the settings and it just displayed my apple ID and email once. Next I restarted my router and my Ipod Touch 4g IOS 6 and it was working again !!! . Not sure if this will work for everyone but I just ****** around with it and it seems to be working for now anyway

I want to set up iMessage and Facetime for my daughter. I know I have to create a new apple ID but can I still sync her iPod to my iTunes account?

I bought my daughter an iPod touch for Christmas. I orginally set up her iPod with my Apple ID but I realized that she needed her own apple ID in order to use iMessage and Facetime with me. So if I create an Apple ID for her, can I link it to my email? Will I still be able to sync her iPod to downloaded songs from my Apple ID?

No, sorry. Purchases are permanently tied to the AppleID & Account used when making the purchase. Purchases cannot be transferred to another AppleID.

HT3529 iMessage and FaceTime

Hi, I tried signing in iMessage and FaceTime but it kept asking me to check my Internet connection. In fact I'm sending this question using iPad so definitely I have Internet connection so is this a software issue or a network one? I have restored my iPad once already. What more can I do to make things work? Thanks.

There are a couple of suggestions that worked for users in this discussion.

You can try rebooting your router as well - I know that your Internet connection is fine but sometimes that helps.

I cannot sign into iMessages or Facetime

2 days ago, I was logged out of both iMessages and Facetime for some reason. Since then I have been trying to log back, in but after a few seconds of waiting a message pops up and says:
iMessage Activation
An error occurred during activation. Try again.
OK
My apple ID works with everything else and I made it in Christmas 2013. I have tried using If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime - Apple Support but the troubleshooting won't work. Any help?

Hi, it says a title of FaceTime or iMessage activation and then could not sign in check network connection.

IMessage and Facetime stuck at "Waiting for Activation ..."

Hi,
After updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 8.2, I noticed that iMessage and Facetime are refusing to get activated using my phone number. I tried all the known solutions on the internet - reset network settings, reset all settings, restore iPhone to factory settings and setting up as new device, trying to activate while in Airline Mode, uncountable reboots (both, hard and regular varieties), updating my Apple ID password - but just no luck.
Under Settings -- Messages -- iMessages -- Send/Receive, I can see my email addresses listed and checked but my phone number does not appear in the list. If I click on my Apple ID, sign out and tap on "Use Apple ID for iMessage", I am seeing my phone number, but its grayed out. Same applies to Facetime.
Everything was normal and working before the iOS 8.2 update.
Did anyone else also face issues activating iMessage and FaceTime post iOS 8.2 update? Or is it only me? :-(
Thanks in advance,
S Ray
Bangalore, India

I have the same issue as imvishudev ^^^^ ..... and i have even tried restoring but whenever I try to restore my iphone it always shows error 3259.
