My iMessaging and FaceTime is not working. What do I do?
Okay, I have had my 4th generation iPod touch for 4 months and I have gotten the updates too. I have been trying
To get it to iMessage my friends, well every time i try, it says error occurred or just won't send to the iPod or iPhone carrier
(The person that has one) I could send one to myself but that was it. Now it won't do that anymore. I have tried and tried and changed my password three times.
Still nothing. What do I do and how can I get it to iMessage and FaceTime my friends. Because honestly this is getting to be a headache.
Thank you,

What I had to was backup my device's data to either iCloud or iTunes. Once it was backed up I erased all of my settings as if my iPad just came out of the box. You set it up again and it will asked you to either start as new, back up from iTunes, or back up from ICloud. If you want to see if everything works you can set up as new, otherwise just pick the choice depending on where you backed up your information. Eventually it will restore all of your information and your iMessage and FaceTime should be working. It worked for me, if you'd like more/better instructions let me know!!

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...... -

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?Using FaceTime http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4319

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.

TS1702 facebook and facetime app not working on my ipad3,ihave reinstall it 3 times but no success
facebook and facetime app not working on my ipad3,ihave reinstall facebook app 3 times but no success and fbapi error domain occurs,facebook works properly on safari
Ok, this is what I figured out after 4 hours of testing. Restoring as a new device didn't help for me. Also hard reset, re-installs, unchecking and checking all notification options did not help. I installed facebook messenger but also this program did not have notifications (all my other notifications work.....)
As my wife deactivated her account I made up a new test account and logged in on my Iphone 4S. Surprisingly this new account had no notification problem at all. The problem is I had been testing with messages all along (and not with reactions on wall posts). It now turns out that all works fine on my original account except for notifications of private messages (or you can call them chat messages). They will simply not work on my original account but work perfectly on my new test account.
The only difference between the test account and the original acount is that I a have an active user account (FB is doing some testing with acttive users so that they receive lesse indicidual mails by gving those users the option (a check box) to receive overview mails) . See also http://socialsunil.com/facebooks-summary-email-feature-for-active-users/. Could this be the reason I do not receive private message notofications?
I do not know but I definitely know this is an account problem and not an hardware or software problem. So to all of you try to log in with a different or test account to corner the problem. Please react on this post if you have a solution. -

My iMessage and Facetime won't work..
My iMessage and Facetime won't work..Messages weren't sending and whenever I call someone using Facetime, it always says 'Failed'. I'm quite ****** with it. Someone know what to do????
I guess I will be the one to ask the obvious question...does the one recieving the messages have ios5?
I have tried to sens messages to other iProducts and they wouldn't go through...turns out they didn't have ios5.
Just a thought. -

Also, I noticed that going to the settings section is disabled service "Find iPhone".
