Network connection error comes up when trying to activate iMessage and FaceTime even when connected to wifi

I have recently got a new SIM card and is working but as soon I try to activate FaceTime and iMessage it says network connection error although my network is fine etc, as on a Apple help page it says contact Apple if this occurs but there is no way to contact Apple. Please help!

For anyone who has this problem check your time and date is set to automatically as this has fixed my problem!

  • My iPhone 5 updated but when trying to update iMessage and FaceTime it does not work!

    I downloaded the new update on my iPhone, but when it was time to update iMessage and FaceTime (using Apple ID and password) it says network unavailable! Then it does not install.

    Hi Elba,
    Thank you very much for your reply. Not sure, however, that we are talking about the same problem.
    I am trying to perform the same function in Lr that I have been doing for many years in the past and has only been a problem in the last few days (possibly coinciding with upgrading to Yosemite, trying to find out whether that is the problem)
    I am not intending to sync any files with Creative Cloud but only trying to use 'Synchronize Folder' function in Lr. Normally, I would right click on a particular folder in Lr catalogue and click on that function to check that the Lr Catalogue is perfectly matching my drives where the original photos are actually stored.
    The problem that I only started to encounter is that I can see the files on the actual drives but they do not appear in my Lr Catalogue and they are completely invisible to Lr. I simply can not get Lr to recognise them and then import them to catalogue.
    If for example, I export images to Ps and then save and close them, they do appear on my drive but are invisible to Lr and I can't get them imported into the catalogue. Import to folder also not producing any results as they are still invisible to Lr.
    Completely baffled by it. Any idea what could be the reason?
    Kind regards,
    Nik

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • TS2755 Azerbaijan (+994) missed as location (??!!) for imessage and FaceTime? When you enter to "change location", no Azerbaijan amongs the region?!!

    IOS7...Azerbaijan (+994) missed as location (??!!) for imessage and FaceTime? When you enter to "change location", no Azerbaijan amongs the region?!!
    +994 phone number is disappeared !!!

    Why no one from Apple support team still didn't replied to this question? It is really problem for Apple Azerbaijan users which I'm pretty sure are more than above mentioned two countries.
    I hope Apple support team will investigate and find the solution for this problem and satisfy Apple users in Azerbaijan.

  • I'm trying to activate iMessage and ill sign in with my apple ID then when I put my email in and click next it goes back to the sign in

    I jus got the fourth generation iPod touch and I'm trying to activate my iMessage when I put my apple ID in, it goes to the next step and says people will contact you by your email. Which would you like to use ? Then I'll enter my email and click next but it takes me right back to the first page where I have to sign in with my apple ID to activate it. This also happens with my FaceTime.  Please help me figure out how to get it to work!! I've updated restarted everything!!

  • IPhone 6 iMessage and FaceTime will not connect.

    I just upgraded to the iPhone 6 from a 5 and now I can't use iMessage or FaceTime.  I checked all of the troubleshooting tips and actually went through all just to make sure it's not something I'm doing.  I still get a connection error on iMessage when I try to connect using my Apple ID and password.  The message I get is "Could Not Sign In.  Please check your network connection and try again".  This continues to happen for many hours.  I reset the network connection, made sure my phone number was in the right place on the phone, checked my credit card on the Apple ID, etc.  Nothing works.  Any help out there?

    I have the same problem with my iPhone 6. It seems that my wifi connection will go down after using iMessage, Facetime or other apps. However if I go to settings to check my wifi connection, it shows connection, but there is no internet connection. I have tested my wifi connection with other devices, and they are running perfectly.
    I think there is still a bug in the iOS 8.0.2 concerning the WiFi.

  • I continue to get error (0x80092013) when trying to access the iTunes Store; even when I don't click it and iTunes is open it will pop up. Now, when syncing my iPod, it says my computer is unauthorized for my Apple ID.

    I have used the same Apple ID and computer for years with no changes even now, and suddenly I am unable to sync my iPod. When I authorize it and log in correctly, I get the (0x80092013) error again, as WELL as error (-50). This is extremely annoying! How do I fix this?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • Anyone have any idea why there is an "error" when trying to activate iMessage? It randomly turned itself off and wont go back on.

    This just happened yesterday

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

  • TS4268 When trying to sign in to imessage and facetime it doesnt accept my apple id

    Wheni try to use imessage and facetime im asked to sign in and when i do it doesnt accept it. Why?

    Go to Settings>>Message>>Send&Receive and check if your Apple ID was set or not. If not, set it properly.
    If it is still not working, unsign your Apple ID and select your mobile number ("+" "country code" "mobile number").
    Also check in: Settings>>Message if you turned on iMessage before. Here, turn off "Show Subject Field".
    Did you turn on iCloud as well?
