MacbookPro (Late 2013) FaceTime/iMessage suddenly stopped working "FaceTime Failed"

FaceTime/iMessage suddenly stopped working "FaceTime Failed" although i am calling the same number, what can i do to fix this?

Hello cameronmhill,
It sounds like you are unable to use FaceTime on your Mac with an error that it has failed. I recommend these troubleshooting steps from the article named:
FaceTime for Mac: Troubleshooting FaceTime
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4185
Check that your email address is verified in FaceTime > Preferences.If FaceTime > Preferences shows your email status as "verifying," follow the instructions in the verification email that was sent to complete the process.
Toggle FaceTime off and on in FaceTime > Preferences.
If still unable to Sign In follow the instructions in FaceTime, Game Center, Messages on OS X: Troubleshooting Sign in
Troubleshooting FaceTime for Mac
You can make FaceTime calls using the FaceTime app. You can call FaceTime users whose contact information is in Contacts. You can add contacts and edit contact information in either FaceTime or Contacts. To place a video call, you may use a phone number or email address.
If you encounter issues making or receiving FaceTime calls, try the following:
Verify that FaceTime is enabled in FaceTime > Preferences.If the issue persists, or if you see the message "Waiting for Activation", try toggling FaceTime off and then on.
Verify that the Date, Time, and Time Zone are set correctly:
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences > Date & Time > Date & Time.
Enable "Set Automatically".
Click the Time Zone tab and confirm the closest city is correct
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

IMessage suddenly stopped working!

If someone could please help me figure out how to get my iMessages back I would be VERY greatful.
I have been living in Thailand using my American phone without issue for 3 months now. Yesterday, my iMessages suddenly stopped working (this is how I contact many friends and family). It is partially working - it sends messages from my "appleid" which is my college e-mail address that I no longer have access to, and many people I communicate with do not have. How can I get it to send/recieve iMessages using my phone number again?
When I go into Messages, and iMessage, and type in my id, it says "waiting for activation". In the meantime, I can still send/recieve messages using my email, but not my phone number. I have tried rebooting my phone, resetting network settings, resetting all settings, and nothing seems to work. I am constantly connected through wifi, and I cannot figure out the issue.
Please help!!

My imessage suddenly stopped working

My imessage suddenly stopped working.I tried everything. Changed settings (time, country, contacts, calendars e.t.c.), changed my password... But it again writtening "wrong password or apple id". Password and apple id work with appstore.i'm from ukraine, help, please!

Yeah, I had a look around before and have looked at those again now and none of them work for me.
Some people mention that when during iMessage on and off again in settings > messages it's asking people for a password/ apple id and mine doesn't even have that. not sure whats going on.

Imessaging suddenly stopped working.

HI, I have a problem with imessaging. It has been working fine for the 18months I have had the ipad. It suddenly stopped being able to send and receive. I've tried turning off imessaging and back on, turning the ipad off and back on and resetting in settings. What else can I do? My iPhone is working fine on the same wifi connection.

Hold the apps at the bottom down for a second or two and tap the minus sign to close app (see picture attached)

Why did my iMessage suddenly stopped working?

My iMessage was working fine and it suddenly stopped a couple weeks ago. I am still able to send messages to people, but I am unable to recieve messages from iphone users (I can text freely with androids). I noticed that at first my imessage will send as a blue, but after a couple seconds it turns green. I tried turning off my imessage, and turning it baclk on to which I was prompted to relogin to my apple account. When I tried to login it would keep saying that I had the wrong password (which I am very sure was not the case). My apple store still works, but I am unsure why my imessage doesnt. Does anyone know a solution for this?
**I am currently operating on ios 7.0.4 could this be the case?

If it is displaying "incorrect password" when signing into iMessage, why exactly do you believe the is incorrect?
Enter the correct login credentials. Until this occurs, iMessage will not re-activate.

Why has my iMessage suddenly stopped working?

Does anyone have any idea why my iPhone 5 (iOS 6.1.3) has suddenly decided to stop sending iMessages? When I try and send an iMessage I keep getting a pop up box telling me that I need to have iMessage activated, yet when I go into Settings/Messages the iMessage option is switched on. Also when I send a message to another user that I know for a fact has iMessage, the message bubble does not turn blue. What's going on??

iMessage is down for many users right now:

IMessages suddenly stopped working.

I went to go to my messages today, iMessages, and it won't work anymore. I used it earlier, and it was fine. Now when I try to use it, when I open the app, it pretends like I've never used iMessages before. It says "get started" and when I push that, to log in, it has me put in my ID and password. When I do that, it has me choose which email. And when I choose the email, it loads for a minute then goes back to the sign in screen. It does this over and over. Occasionally is says that it can't activate iMessages at this time. I don't know why it has to activate it when I have an account already and use it all the time. Please help!

Outlook to iPhone sync failure – Sync suddenly stopped working for calendar events but continued for contacts and notes.   Finally Fixed!!! SUPPORT TEAM – PLEASE SEE THIS – Complete explanation of cause and correction steps.

The issue: Outlook to iPhone sync failure – Sync suddenly stopped working for calendar events but continued for contacts and notes.   Finally Fixed!!!
SUPPORT TEAM – PLEASE SEE THIS – Complete explanation of cause and correction steps.
The cause: It is now clear what caused this problem. For years I had several “all-day” events in my Outlook calendar (birthdays, anniversaries, etc.). In May 2012 I decided to make some of them one hour events so I could add alerts to remind me of the event. I did this by dragging them in Outlook to the time I wanted and expanding them to the time slot desired and then adding the alarm.
The symptom: Syncing stopped working for the calendar but continued working for contacts and notes. I didn’t realize sync was failing until months later when I missed two very important phone calls, so when I noticed it the cause was not obvious.
The failed attempts: I’m head of a software firm and my calendar sync is a crucial to my business life so I took this on with a vengeance. From a quick look at events in Outlook and the iPhone I could see that the problem started in May 2012. Events before May were in both Outlook and the iPhone but events after May were only one or the other. Unfortunately I had changed several other things at the same time relating to other events so again the cause was not obvious. MANY calls with AppleCare proved them incompetent so my internal IT guys assisted trying many things. We tried a huge number of calendar changes and several versions of iTunes, iPhone OS and Office as well as both iPhone 4 and 5, all without success.
The fix: After 18 months of frustration, MANY hundreds of $ expense and MANY hours of wasted time I saw a blog that had a calendar sync problem and it indicated all day events were related. I changed the display of the Outlook calendar to the list view, added columns so I could see “all day” event check marks as well as times of events, sorted on the “all day” event column to move them to the top, and for all events that were “all day” events AND had a start and end time, I removed recurrence and then added the annual recurrence back…
After I fixed all events that had BOTH “all day” set and had a start/end time, I tried another sync. It synced for the first time in 18 months!
Problem occurred May 2012 – fixed Nov 2013

Hi, to remove dummy '_ModGrp' entries, rather than crashing the 'Suppr' key on your keyboard, you can use this basic VBA macro (launched for instance from Excel).
It will recursively remove all '_ModGrp...' folders
Sub RemoveFolders_Click()
    Dim oOutlook As Outlook.Application
    Set oOutlook = New Outlook.Application
    Set objNameSpace = oOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
    Call CleanFolders(objNameSpace.Folders)
End Sub
Sub CleanFolders(objFolders As Outlook.Folders)
    For i = objFolders.Count To 1 Step -1
        If Left(objFolders(i).Name, 7) = "_ModGrp" Then
            objFolders.Remove( i )
        Else
            If Not objFolders(i).Folders Is Nothing Then
                Call CleanFolders(objFolders(i).Folders)
            End If
        End If
    Next i
End Sub

HT201263 My iPod touch suddenly stopped working. It was fine, but when I went back the screen had gone black and I was unable to turn it on. It is now unresponsive and my computer does not recognize it when it is plugged in. What should I do?

My iPod touch suddenly stopped working. It was fine earlier, but when I went back a few hours later, the screen had gone black and I was unable to turn it on. It is now unresponsive and my computer does not recognize it when it is plugged in. I thought it just needed to be charged but there seems to be a larger issue now. What should I do?

Let your ipod die. Then when it is dead charge it adn turn it back on. After that it should be fine.

Ethernet suddenly stopped working for no apparent reason

My late 2011 MBP is usually functioning as a desktop with external display and keyboard/trackpad, so I have it connected via ethernet when it's on the desk. However, my connection suddenly stopped working for no apparent reason.......... BUT clearly not a router problem as there's no problem with the wifi connection. System Preferences > Network > Ethernet is telling me:
Status: Connected. Ethernet has a self-assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the internet.
Dunno how this happened, as to my knowledge I didn't actually do anything to cause this problem, just randomly stopped working. Any solutions much appreciated, thanks :-)
