REAL problems with iMessage activation same with Face Time

I'm having real problems with IMessage activation same with FaceTime, the phone shows the activation is being made but it does not activate!
Apple ID and password is OK, it's working with other applications
Any ideas guys?!

My daughters had the same problem with both of their iPod Touches.  One logged back into iMessage and FaceTime, the other consistently would not login 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!

  • Face time fades out and then tries to reconnect on new ipad retina display on WiFi.  Iphone 4s has no problem with face time from exact same location and same contact.  WiFi signal strong on both devices.  What gives?

    Is the router to small?
    Not necessarily, if you are using Facetime all the data goes through your WiFi router, your cable/DSL modem, your ISP and the internet to Apple's Facetime servers and then, in reverse, down to the Facetime recipient. If your ISP connection is too slow or there is excessive traffic on the internet you can have Facetime problems.
    Most WiFi routers can handle this unless others in the house are also using WiFi at the same time. The problem may be your ISP connection or congestion on the internet, etc.

  • I have a problem with face time

    I have a problem with face time as the mobile is sending messages to a no in UK which is 00447786205094 and this charges me a lot and I notice that it is sending this message to activate face time

    That's what happens when you buy an iPhone intended for a different market. If you want to avoid this, sell it and buy a phone intended for your market.

  • How do I fix problem with face time on my iPhone 4S

  • I'm having a real problem with my cursor which seems to have developed a mind of its own, zigzagging allover, highlighting things without my command, and basically making my MacBook unuseable (it's taken me half an hour just to compose this!).

    I'm having a real problem with my cursor which seems to have developed a mind of its own, zigzagging allover, highlighting things without my command, and basically making my MacBook unusable (it's taken me half an hour just to compose this!).

    There are several possible causes for this issue. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried until it's resolved. Some may not apply in your case.
    1. Follow the instructions in this support article, and also this one, if applicable. A damaged or defective AC adapter could be the cause, even if it's the right kind.
    2. Press down all four corners of the trackpad at once and release. If there's any effect, it's likely to be temporary, and in that case the unit must be serviced or replaced.
    3. Open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and delete all pointing devices other than the trackpad, if applicable. Disconnect any USB pointing devices. By a "pointing device," I mean a peripheral that moves the cursor, such as a trackpad, mouse, trackball, or graphics tablet. A plain keyboard is not a pointing device.
    4. Start up in safe mode and test, preferably without launching any third-party applications. If you don't have the problem in safe mode, but it comes back when you restart as usual, stop here and post your results. Do the same if you can't start in safe mode. If there was no difference in safe mode, go on to the next step.
    5. Reset the System Management Controller.
    6. If you're using a Bluetooth trackpad or mouse, investigate potential sources of interference, including USB 3 devices.
    7. A swollen battery in a portable computer can impinge on the trackpad from below and cause erratic behavior. If you have trouble clicking the trackpad, this is likely the reason. The battery must be replaced without delay.
    8. There's a report that a (possibly defective) Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter can cause the built-in trackpad of a MacBook to behave erratically. If you're using such an adapter, disconnect it and test.
    9. There's also a report of erratic cursor movements caused by an external display that was connected but not turned on.
    10. If none of the above applies, or if you have another reason to think that your computer is being remotely controlled, remove it from the network by turning off Wi-Fi (or your Wi-Fi access point), disconnecting from a Bluetooth network link, and unplugging the Ethernet cable or USB modem, whichever is applicable. If the cursor movements stop at once, you should suspect an intrusion.
    11. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine and/or external trackpad tested.

  • Iphoto migration problems with faces

    I recently attempted to migrate my iPhoto Library from my old iMac to my new MBP by copying it to an external drive and then copying that to the MBP hard drive.  The iMac was running iPhoto 9 (couldn't upgrade the OS due to RAM limitations) and the MBP is running iPhoto 11.  The original library had a minor problem with Faces in that it would always identify a few faces for certain people but even after hitting "confirm" it would still leave those as unconfirmed.  A minor annoyance and I didn't really care.  Since transferring it however, Faces on the MBP takes literally 5-10 minutes to close once I hit "save" after confirming faces.  If I click on the icon in the dock during that time it says "Application Not Responding."  In addition, some of the faces are now blank boxes with dashed lines around them. 
    I've run through all the repair options within iPhoto (via the command-option menu when starting it) including a rebuild.  When that didn't help I rebuilt the library with iPhoto Library Manager.  Now it doesn't recognize any unconfirmed faces as belonging to anyone whom I've already categorized.  I did upload new photos, tagged a couple faces and it didn't recognize that the same face in the same scene in another photo was likely the same person as in the previous 4 photos.  Weird.  Stranger still is that Faces now has tagged a bunch of people with the wrong names.  So I open up Aunt Jane's Faces folder and there's the faces of Uncle Mark, Cousin Pete, etc.  Clearly something is corrupted.  I could just go back to using the old Library on the iMac and hope it doesn't totally kick the bucket but it's never been the same since I upgraded it to Mountain Lion and I'd really like to have access to my photos on my MBP.  Any suggestions?  TIA. 

    Hi, can't be on 10.3, what is the OSX version you're on?
    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    Reboot & hold option or alt key when opening iPhoto.
    Any change?

    Just moved my email from Entourage to Mail. Having real problems with getting my signatures to work properly despite sending email as Rich Text.
    When adding in a small company logo to the signature, PC's / windows computers only receive signature and logo as attachments.
    I've tried all possible fixes I can find including getting a PC user to format the logo but no joy. Has anyone experienced this and any ideas on a fix gratefully received.

    Send it as html so the signature is an image source URL

  • I recently downloaded Aperture 3 from itunes. I have a problem with faces.

    I recently downloaded Aperture 3 from itunes. I have a problem with Faces.
    In Faces Mode when a particular face is selected it is wrongly including, from the 11.5k photos in my Aperture library, people with different names and photos where people have deliberately not been named. This happens every few photos between the correctly named ones and makes Faces virtually unuseable.
    I took my 27" imac 2.8 GHz Intel Core i5 to Apple in the Trafford Centre where a patient assistant, Andy spent 2 hours trying to resolve the problem to no avail.
    In his attempts, he consolidated my iphoto library into Aperture and even reinstalled Aperture. He confirms I am using the programme properly.
    Iphoto Faces works perfectly and is used regularly by family, grandchildren etc,. I want to move away from iIphoto and use just Aperture as it is intended.
    Can anybody help.

    I have tried all aspects of the troubleshooting basics including the 1st aid section except the rebuild data basis.
    The Apple assistant at the shop suggested I contact Apple as he couldn't resolve this issue.
    His laptop also suffered a snag I also experience where the left & right hand pointers intermittently stop moving through the photos. I have to come out of Faces and back again for it to resume operating correctly.

  • I am having real problems with my hotmail account not working on my iMac

    How are you accessing Hotmail?  Via your web browser?  Are you using Apple Mail?  Outlook?
    The answer will be different depending on how you want to access Hotmail.
    If you are using an email client (like Apple Mail, Outlook, Entourage, etc.)) then you need to set up a mail account in your email software.
    The incoming Hotmail settings are these:
    Incoming server: pop3.live.com
    User name: Your full Hotmail email address (aka "me @ hotmail.com" or "me @ live.com")
    Password: Your Hotmail password
    POP port: 995
    Use SSL to connect : yes
    The outgoing Hotmail settings are:
    Outgoing server: smtp.live.com
    User name: Your full Hotmail email address
    Password: Your Hotmail password
    SMTP port: 587 (override the default port if necesssary)
    Use SSL to connect : yes

  • Problem with a time zone in Belarus, Minsk

    All Belarus users of Mac and iPhone/iPad have a problem with a time zone in Belarus, Minsk. If you set time in AUTO, then time going down for 1 hour from actual time. That is happened after Belarus didn't went for winter time this year. In this case on all Mac's and iPhones and iPad's didn't work at all Face Time, iMessage, iChat. Apple still not reacting for this problem.

    Same issue here... That is really annoying when such a good things like iCal sync just doesn't work.
    Also, in case if you trying fix it somehow... here is a lot of issues related to this one. e.g. if the time zone settings were set in manual order; we're get an authorization issue with applications like Twitter...

    I am running Snow Leopard. Transferring the same texts to TextEdit has no problems, so this is a Pages problem, I think.  Corruption of Times New Roman and Arial fonts, I suspect, but where? and what do I do about it? I just need to be pointed to a source of advice, I think.
