  • Strange Facetime activation error

    I have followed with interest the issues surrounding Facetime activation problems. I have one I have not yet seen. My new IPOD Touch G4 will not activate facetime. I get the most unusual error message:
    unable to verify email because it is already in use
    Anyone have any train of thought on what this could be?
    thanks

    Perhaps it is because the same email address was inadvertently registered with a different password.
    I would try using another email address, even if you have to create a new one.

  • Facetime activation errors since IOS8 update

    IPAD Air (16gig WiFi)  since upgrading to IOS8, I have tried to setup Face Time and keep getting "An error occurred during activation. Try again" or "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again."
    I have rebooted.
    I have reset WiFi.
    Rest set and tried new password.
    I have tried several time, and the error just keeps coming back.
    It took overnight to set up messages.(had several log in problems, then just worked this morning)
    All this to get conductivity to work.

  • IPad FaceTime Activation

    I have not been able to activate FaceTime on my iPad for several months.
    I receive the same "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again" error.
    I have tried modifing the DNS.
    I have tried moving the iPad into the DMZ.
    I have verified my Apple ID and it's in the email format "[email protected]"
    I have tried from other known working networks.
    I have tried a hard reset and recovery.
    I have tried a settings reset.
    ...nothing seems to work.
    What I have noticed, is that if I open iTunes and to to "Manage Devices" -- all my other apple goodies and my pc are listed.
    Windows PC
    iPhone 4
    iPhone 3G
    ... but no iPad.
    Is it possible that the device must be associated in this method in order for it to work?
    This is the only difference I can see between my 4G phone and the iPad.
    If I open the ipad, I can view all my settings with the same username.

    In fact, if I try to enable automatic downloads on my ipad, it automatically flips back to off.

  • IMessage and FaceTime activation error during international travel- WiFi still works

    I am travelling out of the US for a few months and had been successfully using my iPhone 4s through wifi (no international plan, just using wifi features). I left a wifi zone and upon my return, my iMessage and faceTime are both showing me errors when I input my AppleId- that the ID and/or password are wrong. I've changed my password through my phone, through iTunes, and through the Apple ID website to no avail. My ID and password work for everything else.
    Also, I am additionally getting an error message that my iPhone and cloud cannot be backed up now either.
    Please help if possible- I am out of the US for a few more weeks to months.

    In order to activate FaceTime and iMessage, the phone has to be able to send an SMS. So, if you put your phone in Airplane mode and turned WiFi back on or have turned off roaming, the phone won't be able to send that text. Sending a text, even internationally, shouldn't cost you more than about fifty cents.
    Best of luck.

    Our faceTime has stopped working on all of our devices.  We are getting an error message that says to check our network connection.  Can any one help us with this??

    Hello SycoKitten,
    I'd suggest verifying that your wireless network's configuration meets our recommendations.

    If still having issues, you may need to open up ports indicated for FaceTime in the following article.

    Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon. The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
    Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight.  Do NOT use an iPod/iPhone charger.  Do NOT use a computer's USB port.  Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear).  An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
    I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem.  I am stating, however, that we don't yet know.  If the above test does, in fact, indicate a problem, read this.
    Also, according to Apple:
    Use Your iPad Regularly
    For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
    Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.

  • HT201398 FaceTime & Messages now won't open on my iPad. Now no toggle switch in settings. Log in with my Apple ID sends activation error message 'try again'. Both Apps work on my iPhone & Mac.Any help?

    FaceTime & Messages now won't open on my iPad. Now no toggle switch in settings. Log in with my Apple ID sends activation error message 'try again'. Both Apps work on my iPhone & Mac.Any help?

    Adjusting the date or time didn't do anything for me either. I'm guessing my two options are to either do the full restore from scratch and not apply any backup ... Or possibly wait for an iOS update that might resolve this issue.
    I'm not that much of an avid twitter user that I need it implemented natively in all my devices - so for now I'll probably value all my game save data, internal settings in apps e.t.c. over that functionality (or over the amount of work it would be to get me back to where I am now after a full wipe). I'll see what happens after the next iOS delta update. I'll reevaluate the full wipe after that if the issue hasn't been resolved

  • FaceTime Activation on Ipad

    Installed ios8.1.1 on Ipad and try to sign in to face time with correct Apple ID and correct password
    and get dialog box

    An error occurred during activation.  Try
    again

    Looks like that may have fixed it.  Let me do some testing before I mark it as solved.

  • HT204380 FaceTime Activation An error occurred during activation

    Trying to log into FaceTime on a new iPod Touch. When I enter my apple id and pass, I get the following error message. "FaceTime Activation...An error occurred during activation. Try Again." I know the apple id and pass are correct, any suggestions.

    You may have tried this already, but I was having this same issue too, I messed with it for about an hour, then restarted my phone and signed in again and it worked. Hope it works for you too.
