My apple id is not working when it comes to signing in for FaceTime and IMessage

It keeps saying an unknown error has occured. I have made sure that my apple id is verified and it works in itunes but it won't sign me in for my imessage or facetime account

It may just be a problem with the Apple servers - I had that happen to me on a few occasions when FaceTime and Messages first arrived on the scene. The only thing that I can suggest is trying again - you obviously know your Apple ID and password are correct or you wouldn't have been able to log on to thse forums.
See the "More Like This" to the right -->> maybe you'll find a better answer in one of those posts.
Good luck,
Clinton

    Hey nocillado,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

    That error shows up when a phone is jailbroken or you are trying to downgrade the iOS version. Neither of which is supported by apple.

  • What can I do for the following situation: I think my insert slot for the headphones does not work; when I put in any cable that should and can go in all I hear is low frequent static sounds.

    You might try talking to the Apple store manager and see if you don't get more help...you might also contact Apple.com/support and see if they can give you a contact with the Apple Italy offices.
    Sounds like you have two levels of failure, the first shop that did the repair and broke a wire, and the second that has disabled something else and isn't helping.
    Apple officially refurbished equipment is usually good quality.  Surprising this has happened but you need to press on with complaints and try for resolution.

  • HELP"apple application support not found when installing itunes after a hard drive crash and replace

    HELP"   error "apple application support not found" when downloading itunes after a hard drive crash and replacement????

    Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • My apple ID is not recognised when I try to sign into the cloud, any help?

    My apple ID is not recognised when I try to sign into the cloud, any help?

    You can't sign into iCloud using your Apple ID on a PC, you have to sign in with an existing iCloud ID.  You have to first create your iCloud account on an iOS device or Mac.  Then you can sign in with the ID on your PC.

  • Unable to use my apple id for facetime and imessage.

    I recently changed my apple id so that I was not sharing the same id with my son.  Now I cannot use my apple id for facetime or imessage.  I can use my son's id, but not mine. (So no network errors, just an id problem.) 
    I am using the latest software - iOS version 8.02
    My time and date are correct.
    The error message I see is that my user name or password is incorrect, but I am 100% sure that I have entered it correct.  Same id/pw works for icloud, itunes, etc. 
    Same problems exists for iPad 3 as for iPhone 5.
    Is there some way I can reset my facetime/imessage settings and clear out any old data that might be stored somewhere (hopefully not wiping out the whole phone/ipad?) 
    Thanks!
    Kelly

  • Your Apple ID was used to sign in to FaceTime and iMessage on an iPad

    Have users getting emails with subject your apple id was used to sign in to facetime and imessage on an ipad. It will then have another users name listed as
    Dear "that other person"
    your apple id (another user than the Dear person above) was used to sign in to FaceTime and Imessage on an ipad.
    Why would the first person be different than the next?

    fentonr,
    This is what the link in the email displays:
    What do you think?
    Delete the email, it is a phishing attempt.
    Identifying fraudulent "phishing" email offers tips and provides a way to report it to Apple.

  • My apple tv is not working everytime i try to down load it stops and says error try again later i have updated credit card itunes and rebooted both and still wont work i am loosing my patience as i cant get any support for this

    my apple tv is not working every time i try to download a movie it says error try again later

    I am having this problem.  At first with the new iPhone 5, and then with the iPad 2.  I am not sure why this is happening. 
    My gut feeling is this is an iO6 issue and here's why -
    The problem mainly occurs with apps.  I have about 150 apps, and when I plugged in the phone, iTunes went to sync all of them.  The process would hang up after about 20 - 30 apps were loaded onto the phone. I could tell where about the process hung up because the apps on the phone showed up as "waiting".
    Then on the iPad 2 I plugged in to sync and saw there was a huge "Other" component in my storage.  It required me to restore the iPad 2 from backup.  With this restore the same issues occurred - putting the apps back on the iPad would hang up.  The videos on the iPad also got stuck - maybe after about 10 hours of videos transfered iTunes crashed.
    My solution has been to soft reset the device, restart Windows, and continue the process until it's complete.  This is remarkably inefficient and time-intensive but everything works with patience.
    I have been wondering if others have had these same problems. 

  • Not letting register for FaceTime and iMessage?

    Recently there was a wifi problem at my house. Just recently our company fixed it.  I connected to it on my iPod and it told me to re register for both FaceTime and iMessage, however, as soon as I log in with my Apple ID and press 'Sign In', nothing happens. It just takes me back to the log in page. How do I fix it to let me use both again? Thanks in advance for any help.

    It would help to head to Settings -> General -> Date & Time and make sure it is set to Automatic.  You could also try using Google's DNS servers as doing so has resolved the issue for a number of users.  Head to Settings -> Wi-Fi and tap the > next to the network you are connected to.  Scroll down to the DNS fields and enter in 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.

  • Apple USB Keyboard not working when connected in Macbook PRO retina

    I have this problem. When I connect my new Apple usb keyboard directly to the laptop it does work. Is there any way to solve this problem?
    BR

    I just did the latest update and my Apple USB keyboard stopped working. The keyboard works fine with other computers and other keyboards work with my Macbook.
    The keyboard ships with a three foot extension cable. I plugged the keyboard into the Macbook with this cable and now it's working fine. I think it has something to do with the USB port being 3.0. A USB hub may also solve the issue.

    I use the LED notifications and the notifications weren't working. I found out when I had the flash off in the camera app, my LED notifications did not work.

    OK... so turn it on?
