My password is not recognized in facetime

What steps can I take if the following error message occurs when I try to do FaceTime?  "FaceTime Activation-An error occurred during activation. Try again."

My daughters had the same problem with both of their iPod Touches.  One logged back into iMessage and FaceTime, the other consistently would not with the same error, "An error occurred during activation.  Try again." 
Check your date and time.  Its likely incorrect.  Once the date is corrected.  Restart the device. 
For what ever reason, some devices lose track of the date.  In my case, apparently, my daughters change the date to affect a particular game by advancing the date.  Little cheaters. (LOL)
Hope this helps!

  • Iphone - wifi password is not recognized

    hi,
    I'm really going crazy with my iphone.
    since a software update last week, my wifi connection at home is not working anymore.
    I've tried everything described on the support side and things I found here in the forum, as
    1. Tap Settings > WiFi > Other network
    2. Enter the name of the network you are trying to log onto
    3. Tap Security and tell the iPod what type of security the network is using
    4. Tap Password and enter the network password
    TRIED - PASSWORD NOT RECOGNIZED
    If this still doesn't work, reset your network settings (tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network settings and try the steps above again once the iPhone restarts.
    TRIED - PASSWORD NOT RECOGNIZED
    my router at home is from linksys...
    as I said, until last week, it worked properly without any problems...
    now, the iphone only finds my wifi and asks for the password and after typing it I always geht the info, that network connection failed...
    I have no ideas anymore what I can do and would highly appreciate your help

    I'm sure, this is a really stupid question now, but how can I do a software update on my linksys router?
    I cannot find anything when I'm opening my linksys router page?

    Ive set up an accouont for my daughter and have set the parental controlls for the account. When we try to download a game or make any change she is prompted to enter an Admin username and password. This is where the problem is.

    please help before i throw this computer out the window!

  • I have a mac pro, an ipad2 and now an ipod touch. Problem is my apple ID password is not recognized, and I cannot download or purchase applications. I have had to keep changing my password than it doesn't accept the new one either??? It says it's a year o

    I just bought an ipod touch and am trying to make an application purchase on it and to use icloud to transfer to my ipad or laptop.
    I cannot sign in.  the password is never accepted. How do I get into applications to purchase or download some of what I have on my ipad?
    This sign in on the ipod touch has the address computerservice1614.com  I don't even know what that is.  I signed in with my apple ID but had to keep changing the password because the ipod won't accept any of them.  I am feeling so frustrated and wishing I didn't buy the ipod.  Anyone know how to deal with this.  I am so tired of trying. This is my second day of trying.

    I would restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod on your computer and start over. It appears the iPod is associated with another account.  Any media that came with the iPod does not belong to you and di not transfer with the iPod hardware.

  • My Homeshare password is not recognized.  It is different from my Apple/iTunes password.  I have used it before and I know it is correct.  How can I a. get Homeshare to recognize my password or b. change my password?

    How can I get HOMESHARE (not Apple) to recognize password?

    I believe the issue is with the Apple ID that was used to purchase the App. If you download an App that was purchased under a different Appple ID then all updates will also be linked to the original purchaser's Apple ID. Your Apple ID is the the same ID as your iTunes, iCloud, etc. Some folks use different ID for the different Apple sites. No need for that One ID for all Apple Sites, and if someone else buys an App using their ID and they(you) download that App onto your device and that App requires an update it will ask for the purchasers Apple ID. This happens a lot when folks sell their iPad or give it to someone else and leave some purchased(free) Apps on the iOS device. You cannot change the original ID the App was purchased under. A suggestion would be if someone else has an App that you like but do not want to pay for use their ID or in the future have them gift the App to you.

  • Password suddenly not recognized

    I upgraded to Yosemite & everything was fine. I had to restart my computer recently because it froze while burning a cd & when I went to log back in it suddenly  doesn't recognize my password. I never changed it. This is the administrator account as well. Not sure what to do. I can get into some of the other accounts but none of my music or photos are available in those accounts.

    I actually had another admin account that I could log into & fixed my password.

  • Exchange and Mail: Password suddenly not recognized by server

    Hello Everyone,
    About one month ago my Exchange account stopped working with mail. I checked with my IT department and they told me that everything was normal on their end. Apple came out with a software update appr. 2 weeks ago I believe (10.9.1). After performing the update, my Exchange account worked again.
    Fast forward to 3 days ago... again... for no apparent reason, my mail acccount starts asking me for my password again for the Exchange Account. When I enter it however, it doesn't work. I completely deleted the account and tried adding it again and got the following message:
    "Internet accounts couldn't log in to the Exchange Server "email.xxx.com". Make sure the user name and password you entered are correct, then click continue."
    I've tried time and time again with no luck. When I contacted my IT guy again this time, he told me that they had never done anything the first time to try to fix this issue!
    I have an iPhone and an iPad and have absolutely no issues with Exchange and my portable devices.
    Can anyone help? Thanks!

    I still haven't found a solution to this problem. I purchased Office for Mac with Outlook 2011 because my IT guy told me that there were lots of people using Macs and that they used this program. It worked for 3 days and then I encountered the exact same problem. See below.
    Mail could not be received at this time
    The server for account "xxxxx" returned the error "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password." Your username/password or security settings may be incorrect. Would you like to try re-entering your password?
    I've asked my IT department and they have no idea what's going on. Apparently my IP address doesn't even show up on their servers. Can someone please help me?
    Thanks.

    There can be multiple things that can be happened here:
    Your password can actually be wrong. Delete the network and do the process again.

  • Password Reset not recognized

    This PB G5 1,33 Ghz had a kernel alarm (grey curtain).
    I archived-installed OS X, saving all settings.
    After reboot, it does not recognize the password.
    I rebooted from CD, then reset password and saved new password.
    Reboot. Typing password. He refuses it. Afther 3 attempts,
    gives me the hint for the password. The hint is for the OLD
    password, not the one I re-created from the install DVD.
    So apparently it did not save what I SAVED.
    Pretty annoying…

    Try and force iPad into Recovery Mode:
    1. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    2. Connect USB cable to computer, leave the other end alone
    3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore iPad
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad
