Problem activating FaceTime on iPad

Unable to activate FaceTime on iPad. Valid apple ID not recognised

My friend had this same issue and asked for my help since none of the other suggestions helped. I found that if go to safe mode and connect to wifi then try to activate FaceTime that might let you activate it. If that works you might have 3rd party software such as Sprigtomize (which I found was his issue) or other Mobile Substrate Addons so disable them through their options or using SBSettings to turn them off, then reboot, and try activation.

Why am I experiencing problems with Facetime for iPad after iOS 6 upgrade?

I recently upgraded my iPad 3 to iOS 6. Everthing works fine except Factime. Everytime I try to Facetime I get a message saying "email is already in use". I've tried creating a new email account and it still won't allow me access to my Facetime. Any advice?

You can't downgrade your iOS version.

Problem activating FaceTime on iPad2.

I am trying to activate FaceTime on iPad2, but after entering Apple I and password, I get error message "Could not sign in. Pleasecheck your network connection and try again." My wifi works for Mail and Safari and everything else. Does FT work in Canada? If so, any suggestions?

Problem activating FaceTime on unlocked iPhone 4

When I try to turn FaceTime on in Settings it keeps saying "username or password was incorrect. try again." even though I haven't entered either, I'm trying to turn it on to set it up. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Check Settings>FaceTime>On and Settings>General>Restrictions>FaceTime>ON. On the 4, 4S and 5 FaceTime is accessed through contacts. Go into your Contacts, access the contact you want to FaceTime with and you will see a tab at the bottom of their contact card. You can also access FaceTime by going into your Phone app, select dialling keypad, dial number, press call and an option for FaceTime on the keypad will appear.

HT5622 Since I have updated my iPad ios7,I am having problems activating my FaceTime

I have recently updated my iPad ios7,but having problems activating FaceTime.

No one should have to reset network settings, I have the same issue and I have a celluar package, it's slow using either one--but my IMac is running just fine so don't blame the network--blame the testers and my Internet speed is grease lightning so that's not it either--too many issues, like Facebook randomly disappearing while open, choppy animation, slow to load programs.
It's too **** bad they made it so you cannot roll back to IOS6 until these bugs are worked out--shoulda waited. Shoulda, coulda, woulda..not helping me now AND my friend bought his mini the same time I did in April and we are not even in the same city and he has the same exact problems!!

Why am i having this problem on icloud "the maximum number of free account have been activated on this ipad"

Why am i having this problem on icloud "the maximum number of free account have been activated on this ipad"

Judging from other posts it looks like there is a maximum of 3 accounts that can be created on a device - you could either re-use one of the accounts that you've already created or create a new one on a different device or computer

Hy, I have a problem with a new iPad Mini.

Hy, I have a problem with a new iPad Mini.
When I try to use the cameras, it doesn't work.
I get to take 3-4 pictures and after that all I see is the shutter.
It happends even if just start the camera app, or the facetime app, after 4-5s.
I've reinstalled IOS 6.1 but nothing changed.
It is a new ipad. What can I do?

Ok, Orange Romania changed my iPad mini but now I have another problem.
I bought the iPad mini on 01/feb/2013, took it to service on 06/feb/2013, and got another ipad mini on 12/feb/2013.
But the new ipad mini keeps requesting the password for some user [email protected], and it does it from the first day of activation. This is suspect for me, so I checked it's serial with selfsolve.apple.com and it shows "Estimated Expiration Date: January 31, 2014" and since it has one year free service I am worried the iPad mini wasn't new.
Please help.

Question about the sensor... just got my 4s yesterday after screwing up my 3 with the laterd version update. EVery call I have been on has either changed to speaker, called another number or ended the call or activated facetime, which I have turned off.

Question about the sensor... just got my 4s yesterday after screwing up my 3 with the laterd version update. EVery call I have been on has either changed to speaker, called another number or ended the call or activated facetime, which I have turned off. never had this trouble with my 3...I don't even want to talk to anyone on this phone! Is the sensor bad? That is what the AT&t rep suggested.

Restore as new... if the problem still continues then there is a hardware issue.
If it stops after a restore as new, then the issue is with the backup the device is currently setup with.

Can not sign in to Icloud it keeps coming up the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this ipad 1st generation

can not sign in to Icloud it keeps coming up the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this ipad 1st generation

Error Message: "Cannot sign in. The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this ipad/iphone"
I encountered the same problem when I purchased a used iPad for my elderly father and couldn't set it up for him. I called Apple Support...
Apple support could NOT help me. I was told there is no way to circumvent the 3 icloud setup limit on iOS devices at their end. I was told to use a different mac or iOS device that hadn't met the 3 x limit.
So, using MY iPad I tried to do that. At first I went to Settings/iCloud. But that is your PRIMARY iCloud account (and this was MY iPad and I didn't want to screw up my own settings!) which you don't want to trash.
After some online research (iMore to be exact) I discovered you can setup a secondary iCloud account using:
Settings/Mail,Contact,Calendars --> Add Acount... -->iCloud --> Get A Free AppleID --> Birthday Q then Security Question - then Name - then Get a free iCloud email address....
After you get to the new iCloud settings page at the end of the signup process - I deselected all the tabs which made the new account "inactive" on my iPad.
Next I went to the used iPad that had the initial problems, and tapped on Settings/iCloud. I signed in with the iCloud account that was newly created and was able to then get an iCloud account to work!
I left the new iCloud account showing on my own iPad (under Mail,Contacts,Calendars) as it is inactive. I am not sure what would happen if I deleted it - it may stop working on my father's iPad then.
