My camera and facetime are not working

The icons for my camera and facetime disappeared. When checking the internet for help, some said to go into "Settings" then " Restrictions" and then enable the camera and facetime. I see these 2 items and they show that they are turned off. But when I try to turn them on nothing happens. I tried other switches such as Safari and it turns on and off. Can anyone provide some help? Thanks Randy

Been a week already and still, iMessage and FaceTime are NOT working!

Gosh! it's been a week and still no access!
Called apple and they want me to pay $19 before they let me know what it is and how to fix it! can you imagine?
...and with the message that keep on saying that "the server encoutered an error processing registration. please try again later" the chances that is a problem at Apple are high.
AND I SHOULD PAY $19?!?!
I've been with Apple since I was 15 (now 37, 38 in few months) and being a customer since I was 19.
The service and assistance use to be fab. and the more the time pass by the more it gets .rappy!
Thank God the product are still above the competition. But the days where the competitors will be as good as, are not too far from now.
Apple, you better do something or with the loss of Mr Jobs and the competitors getting better and better day by day, you will face sooner than later a big chunk of customers.
And the stock market recently shows how much your losses are!
Anyone can provide any help/suggestion in this regard?

My iMessage and facetime is not working after updating to ios 7... My ipad works perfectly and it's the same apple id. Any answers or reasons why on the iPhone 5 is not working???

My iMessage and facetime is not working after updating to ios 7...
Any answers on how to fix it? I've tried to restart, restore connected to itunes, but nothing.

ACTIVATING FACETIME AND IMESSAGES
Activating Facetime and Imessages on your phone requires the ability to send SMS messages and depending upon where you are that might be an international SMS. Check with your carrier to see if your plan supports sending of international SMS messages. If you are having trouble activating Facetime or Imessages turn them both off on your device and reset the device (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost)). Wait for the device to restart and wait a minute and turn Facetime and imessage back on and wait for activation. If that does not fix things read the following articles:

I had an iphone 4s and it worked nice with facetime and imessage using my phone number but it was stolen on December so I buy a new iphone 4s using the same cellphone number but now imessage and facetime does not work with my number, it only works with my apple ID. Please Help me I speak Spanish so if my English is not ok I´m sorry about it.
Do you think that apple has to reset in their database of the old serial number attached with my phone number and that’s why I can´t activate imessage and facetime with my number in the new iphone 4s??

I understand all of this Meg; that is why I bought an Iphone; but never expected my phone not even give a at least a 24 or even 12 hours....I work 12 hour shifts and also would expect to have to charge each night but not twice a day or more. I am not always somewhere I can charge my phone.
Your points are true; however it doesn't help me......

Camera and flashlight does not work

My camera and flashlight will not work after the ios 7 upgrade. I have rebootd and completely wiped out my iPhone and still no camera or flashlight. I have seen where others are having the same problem but no answers.

I had the same problem it's definitely a software issue because the camera would sometimes work in camera apps but now I could not switch cameras at all.
I may have found a solution of course I probably won't get credit for thanks to Apple.
I believe the problem arises from a bug when the camera is used in lock mode, try restarting your phone with the home and power button. Then open your camera in locked mode and set the flash to auto. Maybe take a few pictures, switch the camera back and fourth, turn HDR on and off, but make sure the flash is set to auto before you unlock the phone. Heck even try playing with the flashlight.
After I did this in locked mode to my surprise my camera and flashlight are now fully functional after I have unlocked it with the password. I'm not to sure what triggered this bug but when I first got iOS 7 and played with my phone some how I unlocked the lock screen without putting in a password. Just by using the camera and the notification and control Center, I unlocked the phone which might of triggered the bug.

Keyboard and trackpad are not working, Keyboard and trackpad are not working

I'm using MBP 15" late 2008 with Maverick OS. A couple of days ago, the internal keyboard and trackpad are not working at all. I did all the troubleshooting. I even reformat it; installing the snow leopard and re-installing the maverick but no good result. I believe there's no problem with my keyboard because i can still do PRAM on my lappy. Everytime i'm booting up my MBP, it always looking for bluetooth trackpad and keyboard. I have not used those bluetooth peripherals from day 1 i've started using MBP. I just read on the internet about the same problem has happened on MBP 13" retina and APPLE fixed it by updating the software. I wish Apple will also do something for the old MBP to fix the intermal keyboard and trackpad problem.

I am using chat-r wireless and facetime is not working but when i put rogers fido or any other carrier sim in it work. Anyone know what the problem?

I'm guessing it's a compatibility problem similar to that that T-Mobile in the US has. I'm not familiar with chat-r wireless, but I'm guessing it's not a supported carrier for the iPhone. If they can't tell you how to fix it, I'm guessing it's just plain not going to work.

Ive just upgraded my late 2009 macbook, and things are not working properly. First of all, when I started the computer first time after installing Mountain Lion, some message advised me that some files were impossible to install.

Ive just upgraded my late 2009 macbook, and things are not working properly. First of all, when I started the computer first time after installing Mountain Lion, some message advised me that some files were impossible to install. Once I wrote my password, and for now on, everytime I start the session, another window advise me that "Java SE 6" is missing, due that, the computer can't run some "CS5Service Manager". If I try to install it, the download ends with an error. If finally, you skip the istallation, you arrive to the dock, but the menu bar at the top of the screen doesn't show up.
In addition, my trackpad doesn't works either. I can move the arrow but i can't click anywhere, probably because the option of clicking by touching is disabeled and I can't performance a regular click.
I'll be very glad if someone know what the heck is happening with my computer. Anyway, I'm going to the genius bar next Saturday. Thx!

We're sorry.

When I am trying to sign in to iTunes Store. I am requested to enter a password to the wrong Apple ID mail which does not belong to me... I can't connect to iTunes store and my Viber and Facetime are not active.

My Apple ID was disabled. I reseted it successfully. Afterwards, when I am trying to update the pending apps in App Store on my phone, in order to sign in to iTunes Store I am requested to enter a password to the wrong Apple ID which definitely does not belong to me ('[email protected]'). Of course, I don't know this password and, consequently, I can't connect to Itunes Store on my Iphone. As a result my Viber and Facetime are not active in the meanwhile. What should I do? Thanks in advance for kind help and solution.

Where did you get this iPhone?
Was it new or second hand?
You have to sign out then sign in with the correct Apple ID and password.
Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID: > do it here.

I got my Iphone 3gs unlocked, but Navigation and Compass are not working. Please help if anybody had faced this problem and got it resolved.

Only the carrier that the iPhone was locked to can unlock. There you go, hacking void any support from this forum.
