Loaded the newest IOS and I get error message when trying to load I messaging and Facetime.

I have an Ipad mini 2 and I downloaded the software update  IOS 8.1.3. Now when I try to use facetime and I-messaging it gives me an error message : (An error occurred during activation. Try again.)
I have tried turning the applications on and off, I have turned off the I pad and restarted it. I made sure I was on the Wi-Fi. I even made sure the date and time zone were correct. None of these things have made any difference.
Does anyone have a fix for this problem. Is there a way to reload the last IOS update? Any help would be appreciated.
Peter

Hey Peter Manring,
It is my understanding that you are receiving an activation error when attempting to use FaceTime or iMessage. I have an article that should be able to help you address this issue, and it can be found below:

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

    trying to log into firefox but keep getting firefox is in offline mode and can't browse the web, I've unchecked the work offline in the file menu but still get error message...

    The work offline option can be found from Firefox button -> Web developer or from the menubar toolbar -> Work offline (Or at least thats what happens in Windows).
    Have you any other reason for being offline; router off, firefox not dialing up or whatever. Or is security software or a firewall blocking firefox, or a network connection, or firefox setting etc set wrongly.

  • I recently updated my 4s to the newest IOS and I now cannot turn on Wi-fi. HAs anyone esle had the same problem?  Is there a fix?

    I recently updated my Iphone 4s to the newest IOS and I now cannot turn on Wi-fi. Has anyone esle had the same problem?  Is there a fix? I've tries restoring to a previous software update, but it appears the wi-fi was completely disabled and I do not have the ability to turn it on.

    Apple is aware of the issue and is expected to release 7.0.3 next week to address iMessage issues.
    In the meantime I have found that a good old fashion reset cures it for a while.

  • HT4623 so I am updating my phone to the newest IOS and it has been doing it for hours.  I have now plugged it into the computer and it says that it is in recover mode and I should restore it?  What does that mean?  Do I lose everything on my phone?

    I am updating my phone to the newest IOS and it has been doing it for hours.  I have now plugged it into the computer and it says that it is in recover mode and I should restore it?  What does that mean?  Do I lose everything on my phone?  Is there anything else I can do?

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

  • HT4623 I downloaded the newest iOS and cannot sinc with any Bluetooth device, this happened with the last update.

    I downloaded the newest iOS and cannot sinc my iPhone or iPad with any Bluetooth device, I have a Bose Bluetooth speaker.  This happened the last time I downloaded the last update

    Go into your bluetooth settings and forget all the connections. Then Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings, and try it again.

  • I am trying to install Photoshop CS6 onto Mac 10.9.5 and get Error:16 when trying to launch application??

    Anyone know how I can get Photoshop CS6 running on Mac 10.9.5 - I get error:16 when trying to run application after a complete removal and re-install??

    Other Adobe programs should not cause this error.
    Try this:  Open Terminal,
    copy/paste this into Terminal at the command prompt:  sudo chmod -R 777 /Library/Application\ Support/Adobe
    Press enter, and if asked enter your password.
    Try opening Photoshop again.
    If you do suspect older files, use the CS Cleaner

  • When I click on the button to download the new IOS software, I get a message saying that all the items on my iTouch will be removed.  Will I have to reload everything after updating the software?

    When I click on the button to download the new IOS software, I get a message saying that all the items on my iTouch will be removed.  Will I have to reload everything after updating the software?  Because I had to have my hard drive wiped a while back, I have items on my iTouch that are not in my iTunes.  Is there a way to copy everything on the iTouch into iTunes, if necessary, before I load the new software?

    It is possible to transfer purchases from your iPod back into iTunes before updating the OS. If you had any CDs from your personal collection, these you have to put back into iTunes manually. Hope this helps you & good luck!

  • TS1424 Why am I getting error 11222 when trying to access the store?

    Why am I getting error 11222 when trying to access the store?

    The 11222s can sometimes be associated with LSP issues.
    I'd try the following document:

    (If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

    If one is downloading directly to the iPhone via WiFi, it doesn't matter what version of iTunes is on the computer.
    I decided to sync my phone to Outlook via iTunes.  First thing, iTunes discovered that 7.0.3 was not on my phone.  It asked if i wanted to install it.  I said, "yes", and VOILA!! 7.0.3 is now installed on my iPhone.
    So therein is the answer.  Have no idea what bug is in there to keep it from loading to some phones directly via WiFi, but obviously, it is something!!
    There is no bug.  While you can update your iOS via wi-fi, it's recommended to do so via USB & iTunes.  Depending on your wi-fi connection & singal strength, you can get errors.  That's not a function specifically of the device.

  • I get error OxE80000084 when trying to sync my I Pod classic to I Tunes

    I get error OxE80000084 when trying to sync my Ipod classic to iTunes, what do I do?

    Hello aztecc16,
    The following articles provide some useful troubleshooting steps and information that can help get your iPod to work correctly with your computer.
    iPod not recognized in My Computer and in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1369
    iPod: Appears in Windows but not in iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363
    Also, while the following article is tailored for iOS devices, it does contain some further information and troubleshooting should you still be having issues getting your iPod to work with your computer.
    1. Restart your computer.
    2. Install the latest version of iTunes.
    3. Verify that your computer meets the minimum system requirements. iOS devices require the following minimum version of Windows:
    Windows XP Service Pack 3
    Windows Vista
    Windows 7
    Windows 8
    4. Download and install any available software updates from Microsoft.5. Connect the device directly to your computer; not to an external USB hub. Find out if your computer has USB 2.0 ports.6. Check that the Dock Connector or Lightning Connector on both the device and cable are clean of any lint or other debris. If possible, connect your device using a different Apple 30-pin to USB cable or Apple Lightning Connector to USB cable.7. Disconnect other USB peripherals from your computer, with the exception of your keyboard and mouse. After disconnecting these peripherals, restart your computer, connect your device, and open iTunes.8. Connect your device to a different USB port on your computer.9. Use the Task Manager to stop some Apple Services:
    Launch the Task Manager:
    For Windows XP: Press Control + alt + delete on the keyboard.
    For Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8: Press Control + alt + delete on the keyboard. Then click "Start Task Manager". If Windows needs your permission to continue, click "Continue".
    Click the Processes tab of the Task Manager. End each of these three processes by clicking in their names and choosing "End Process":
    iTunesHelper.exe
    AppleMobileDeviceService.exe
    iPodService.exe
    After ending these processes, reboot your computer, open iTunes, and test.
    10. Connect your device to a different computer to determine whether the issue is specific to your computer.

    Check for hardware issues
    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

  • Keep getting error 4002 when trying to update Genius

    I haven't seen anyone write about getting error 4002 when trying to update genius in itunes. I select update genius and it gathers information and sends it to the itunes store I assume. And then waits a few seconds and then I get the following message "Genius results can't be updated right now. An unknown error occurred (4002) Please try again later." I've been getting this message for well over a month and I keep hoping they'll be an update or somehow it will magically be fixed, but nothing has changed. Anyone have any insight on this one?
    The current ituned library it 123GB and is stored on external drives. It should also be noted that when I first turned on genius when it was released it went through this whole problem without a hitch. I just can't update Genius with any of the music I've added since then. I can't even get genius to recognize music that I got from the itunes store since I've had the problem.

    Be careful - this was a disaster for me. Once I did this, I got a different error - an error 4010 and in trying to recover, caused a lot of library issues that forced me to go to a backup to fix. You'll find a lot of people having the 4010 problem. Basically iTunes Genius is a disaster and Apple isn't fixing it.
