    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:

  • Wifi will not work on iPod 5th Generation

    I have had my iPod 5th generation since early September of last year. It was been working smoothly up until today. The wifi is on and it is recognizing networks but when I attempt to join it either says 'Unable to connect to network' or I put in the password to the wifi network and it immediately asks me to re-enter the password. I have restarted my wireless router, restarted my iPod, reset my network settings on the iPod and it is still doing the same thing. I have not jail broke this iPod ever and it is up to date using iOS 8.1.3 which I installed three days ago. The wifi was working fine immediately after the update which makes me unsure if that is what caused this. Does anyone know how I might fix this.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    Can you send SMS by using the mobile data network instead of Wi-Fi? I had the same problem setting up my 5s from a backup of my 4s. Only after I sent an SMS via mobile data network, somehow iMessage and FaceTime got activated a couple of minutes later without me doing anything else.
    I even changed my Apple ID password, because at one point I could not log into my account when iMessage asked for my account details.

  • IMessage and FaceTime will not activate.

    I have an iPhone 4S iOS 6.1.3 on Verizon. My iMessage and FaceTime will not activate.
    I have wiped my phone multiple times trying both setting up as a new iPhone and restoring from back up.
    I've also reset the settings and network settings.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    To activate you need to be able to send SMS and in some cases that is an international SMS.  The SMS is hidden and goes to a numbe rin the UK starting with +44.  Are you able to send international SMS?  Check with your carrier.  Read http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4268

  • Imessage is unable to activate on my ipod touch, setings screen for imessage is not up

    Imessage is unable to activate on my ipod touch, settings screen for imessage doesn't give me options to turn it on or off

    Hello ecaseywage,
    For issues activating iMessage on your iPod touch, take a look at the article below to walk you through getting it resolved. I would start with making sure that you have the date and time set correctly as well as making sure you are online. Because you said that you cannot turn it off, try restarting your iPod touch to see if can be turned off afterwards.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable              
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • How do I Sync All 5,000 of my songs onto my iPod 5th Generation without no problems at all, Most of my songs have the Album Artworks, some are ACC converted but after the "Changes Are Applied", it will say - Songs were not synced. File wasn't convert

    I Am having a problem with syncing 5,000+ songs onto my IPod 5th Generation. Everytime I sync, some songs will either go away or ALL of them will come off my iPod. I have iTunes 12 for Windows, and it has a slow syncing process and it will take days for songs to get on the iPod. It will even say that any of the songs "we're not synced to my iPod because the file wasn't converted..
    I Need help please, I would appreciate it.

    Hey Bryce,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds like some songs aren’t being synced to your iPod touch because they aren’t in a compatible format. Can you play those tracks in iTunes? Try selecting the tracks that won’t sync and creating a new version of them with iTunes as shown in the article below.
