Neither FaceTime nor iMessage will work.

When I got my Apple iPod Touch 4G on Dec. 30th I was able to FaceTime and iMessage perfectly fine. It has been working until today. When I go on either one it shows the Get Started page. I hit get started and it takes me to the Apple ID page. I type in my password and it takes me to the E-Mail adress selection page. Then it sends me back after about 1.5 seconds. If I hit Next it immediantly sends me back. I have tried quitting them and turning off the iPod, but to no avail. What do I do?

Fixed it! I couldn't find any other people with this problem before, but after looking at some other threads in the more like this pane I found the answer - I just had to turn the "Set Automatically" option on in Settings! Who knew!

X200s tried to add webcam - now neither webcam, nor thinklight will work

Hi all,
So, as the username hopefully indicates - a newbie to the x200s, which I bought recently, though I've been using thinkpad products for a few years now (a devoted fan!)
My x200s did not come with a webcam and, since I am thousands of miles from home, I reckoned I would try and install one manually. Note that I have swaped its HDD for an SD & changed keyboard in the past with no problem, so I was assuming (foolishly, perhaps!) that vaguely knew what I was doing.
I followed the instructions and user experiences on this thread, I purchased this camera - and got off to work.
Even though everything seemed fine when adding the camera to the system, a strange thing happened after I rebooted (I run Linux Mint 16): neither the webcam, nor the thinklight were now working. After lots of testing, I assumed I must have just destroyed part of the cable during installation, and so I purchased this cable (Lenovo ThinkPad X200 LCD Video Cable 44C9909) and tried again. Same result! The only difference is that the first time round, an "lsusb" command on linux would return a Ricoh product (and I assume that's the webcam), but it would still not be recognised by Mint, while now, there's nothing. In both cases, the Thinklight didn't work.
Since both the thinklight and the webcam come out at the same end (see the right end of the cable on this picture) I am assuming, of course, that the two are related.
Would anyone know which of the clips on the left end of the cable on the same picture, above, correspond to the webcam and the thinklight?
Thanks for reading, and any response and thoughts on the above would be most appreciated - a little bit at loss at to what to do now.

Hi,
perhaps HMM and Service Video might help.
Be sure integrated camera is enabled in the BIOS Setup menu.

I cannot ope PDF files that are within a web link. Neither Safari nor Firefox will work. If I receive a PDF file as an email attachment, I can open it with either Adobe or Preview. I'm running 10.6.8 on an iMac.

I'm going to re-state this. Several weeks ago, I had installed Security Update 2012-004 on my iMac. I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Immediately afterwards, my Mail 4.6 was GONE. Mail 4.2 was there, but the system would not open it. The Apple Support Communites quickly solved my problem. The problem lay within the Update. Now, I cannot open PDF files that are contained within a website, i.e. a lunch menu that is on a restaurant website. This happens on both Safari and Firefox. If someone sends me an email with an attached PDF file, I can open the file with either Adobe or Preview. This is happening only on my iMac. My MacBook Pro, also running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 has not experienced either the first or second problem. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Does this help with Firefox?

No FaceTime nor iMessage.

Neither FaceTime nor iMessage works on my iPad. Keeps saying something like "cannot connect to network. Check your connection and try again." Both apps work from my iPod Touch on the same network. I've tried disabling all Time Capsule security, and Restoring the iPad.

backup the device with itunes.
Restore the device with itunes and set up as new.
Sign into the facetime and imessage to activate it.
After that is done and activation is good.
Restore from the backup.
Then make sure to sign into facetime and imessage again and you should be good to go

I can't get FaceTime and iMessage to work on iPhone 5 operating on 6.0.2, please help

1. Make sure software is up to date (important)

3. Make sure Date and Time is correctly set; Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>On
4. Make sure Push Notification is enabled
5. Make sure phone number or email address is correct
6. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) until you see the Apple Logo

Need help fixing my 3 Gen IPAD, FACETIME and iMESSAGES stopped working for me. Help please... more info to follow.

FT and iMessages used to work for me, but when I try to sign into them, it kicks me back to the sign in screen 9 out of ten times saying..."You were signed out of FaceTime because your AppleID or password changed. Sign in to turn on FaceTime.
When it DOES eventually let me through, either via restart/reset it tries to verify my email... fails... then says it sent an e-mail to my account, which never arrives. I tried resetting my security questions and I do get e-mails when I go that route. Still no fix.
My account still works via the app store/itunes/apple webpage, etc.
I've tried calling support and they seemed stumped. Trying re-syncing, hard reset...resetting all my settings, I have time auto-synced... still no remedy. Please help. Bought this specifically for Facetime and now I can't even get that to work.

OK, the fix was frustratingly easy.
My Apple ID is an old @mac.com address which is non functioning. This email address was also sitting in "alternate email addresses" within my Apple ID settings page. I deleted it and FaceTime and iMessage now work.
I went to www.appleid.apple.com and logged in using my normal Apple ID credentials. I then made sure that ANY alternate email addresses listed under the Apple ID were in fact verifed. Sitting happily in there under "Alternate Email Address" was the @mac.com which was the non-functioning email address. I deleted and it's all now working. I also deleted some other alternate email addresses that were sitting in there.
The only other suggestion from Apple was to create a separate Apple ID specifically for the FaceTime / iMessage functionality.
They said the conflict probably arose from the fact that the Apple ID was associated with an alternate email address which could NOT be verified.
I have to hand it to the Senior Tech Analysist from Apple in Brisbane. Very helpful, very friendly and their follow-through and ownership of my problem were very good.

Oh boy! Acting kind of weird seems to be an understatement, aquaequus!
What type of troubleshooting were we able to do with you? I want to make sure that we can get some sort of resolution for this problem.
It is quite possible the battery door may get your phone in working order again. I'm not sure if the store has it in stock, but it is available in our warehouse for $14.99 which can be ordered via customer service.

Since upgrading TO iOS 8.3 FaceTime and iMessages stop working at me iPhone 4s.

Facetime and iMessages are working no my iPad with my email direction but not recognizing my celular number, my iPhone. What can I do TO make ig work?

I had this issue with my iPhone5 on Verizon. I just finished a call with Apple, here were the steps we took to correct the issue;
Connected phone to computer, opened iTunes
clicked on the phone icon in iTunes and selected Summary tab
selected Restore iPhone
When asked, selected set up as new, not from a backup. During this process iTunes found and downloaded new carrier settings
When this restore completed I had cell signal
then restored from a backup
