My imessage and facetime keeps saying waiting for activation

my imessage and facetime keeps saying waiting for activation and my number does not show up just my old number or just my email address can anyone help me sort this out thanks

Back up, Erase all content and settings, Restore iPhone (downloads fresh iOS), restore from backup. Should fix. You will not lose texts, etc.

TS4268 iMessage and FaceTime are saying check the network connection and try again.

iMessage and Facetime started saying check the network connection and try again two days ago.

This same issue occurred with my IPhone 4S after updating to most recent iOS last week.
I tried http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4268 - this unfortunately did not help.
Suggestions?

I'm trying to burn an iMovie in iDVD and at the end of the whole burn process it says "Multiplexer Error" "there was an error during formatting". How do I fix it so that it'll burn?

I'm trying to burn an iMovie in iDVD and at the end of the whole burn process it says "Multiplexer Error" "there was an error during formatting". How do I fix it so that it'll burn?

Hi
Multiplexing error is a very complex problem due to many things (long long list following) - one common but not obvious reason is that material on the iDVD menu goes outside the TV-Safe area (or just touching it).
So first - turn on TV-Safe area and move any object well inside of this.
Wide screen stretched - usually (as I think) it is due to making a 4x3 movie in a 16x9 wide-screen project OR the other way around. This forces one to on flat-screen TV (or other) set the presenting view right - My has 4x3, wide-screen, zoom and auto-wide-screen and I have to switch this by my remote for some DVD I've made "wrong" way.
Now my long long list on Multiplex Error
LONG LONG LONG LIST
Multiplexing Error
PART One.
Use of strange video/audio material e.g. .avi, .wmv, .mp3 etc.
I only use.
Video - StreamingDV (miniDV tape via FireWire) and
Audio - .aiff (as on audio-CDs) (else converted to this .aiff 48KHz)
Photo - .jpg (.bmp known problematic)
Chapters !
A. Using strange letters in video project name e.g. +,/; etc. keep to a-z and 0-9 strange letters in project name e.g. +
as described by Donnyboy69. Does the title of your project have any symbols or decimal points in it. If so, that is why you are getting the error. I had a project that had a + sign which caused the same problem. I renamed it without the symbol and low and behold, it worked.
B. Location of Chapters
• Can’t be at start or end of movie (Skip first/start one - iDVD sets this by it self. At the End - no need)
• Not in a transition (or within 2-3 seconds from it)
Important when from iMovie HD6 or previous - Now also observed when using FCE 4
PART Two.
from Robert Modero.
"Multiplexing Error. Problem during initialization of tracks"
Simply remember to add subtitles to your Quicktime files and menu buttons.
Once I did that, I was back in business.
from Boise Jim
Do a safe reboot (by holding down the shift key until you see the spinning gear on gray background, then release, then restart when your start-up screen appears).
I always makes a DiskImage first and test this so that it runs OK
I use only - Verbatim DVDs
I use only - DVD-R
I burn at an as slow speed possibly e.g. x1
This gives good DVDs
PART Three.
Multiplex Error
Chuck, Chicago 2/7/2009.
Back again. Here is what I have found to work. I also have and use a LaCie DVD-R/RW DL external drive and a LaCie external hard drive as well. Since yesterday I have tried a few ways to burn a themed iDVD project having four 56 minute movies on it, amounting to 226 minutes onto a DVD DL disc, capacity 240 minutes. Apple tech support really didn't know what to do but gave me a very good tip. I had two options left. Apple tech support's tip was to try disc image. One of the replies on a thread with this subject said not to, but my experience today is good. Put your project onto "Burn to disc image," under "iDVD, file." Yesterday encoding took me 23 1/2 hours. Overnight for iDVD disc image, encoding took 21 1/2 hours (again) while I slept. This morning I tried to copy/burn disc image to a DVD with Roxio Toast 7, and it stopped near the end of the burn with some kind of "error" message. So then I tried Utilities> Disc Utility> Burn icon, and followed it through. Be sure to click the DVD DL drive in the window "Burn disc in.". I had one other problem though. At the end of a 46 minute copy, it started to verify, and at the end of verify it rejected the burn. So I tried again, and when "verify" appeared, I clicked on "Skip." The disc finished burning and is doing fine and well. A long and tortuous process, but at last something works. I made several additional copies using Disc Utility. Best wishes. Chuck, Chicago.
2. Disconnect any other external devices not absolutely needed.
e.g. external USB/USB2 hard disks, other FW hard disks etc.
3 Chapter marks in transitions - minimum 2 sec from

(Not a 'guy' but I will answer!)
First, I do not think that mixing wide-screen and standard makes a difference in iDVD.
Second, you should use a better brand of DVD disk. Also, many of us have experienced fewer problems on playback with DVD-R disks. Recommended brands here are Verbatim, Maxell and Taiyo Yuden. Memorex and TDK are not consistent and may not give you a correct burn. They apparently have fewer layers in the composition of the disk. I have always used Verbatim DVD-R disks and have not had any burn problems.
Also, choose a slower burn speed, 4x or less.
Third, to determine if the iDVD project will burn properly, create a disk image file (from within iDVD, go File->Save as Disk Image) and test it. Mount the disk image and then open DVD Player (in Applications) and view your project. If it plays correctly, you can then burn the actual DVD disk from the disk image file using Disk Utility.
From. Boise, Idaho
I did everything I've seen suggested, but a friend (who used to be an Apple Genius) suggested that I do a safe reboot (by holding down the shift key until you see the spinning gear on gray background, then release, then restart when your start-up screen appears).
It worked, and I got a clean burn from iDVD.
Hopefully this can help other people.
by dheb0422
Well, I finally got it, and it was odd enough to post here incase anyone looks this topic up again. Many things were tried, including burning the unedited film, the edited film without titles and chapter markers, abbreviating the chapter markers in case length was the issue (remember the old iMovie used to truncate them when moving to iDVD?). In the process, I noticed that one, and only one, chapter marker was on the same line as the title marker. All the others were on the line above. The only way I seemed able to change that was to clip a few seconds of film. After that last clip, the offending marker took a place on the line above, as were all the others. That run published, compiled completely and burned. That's one for the books.
One user more writes
To add my experience with Multiplex Errors using iDVD (7.0.4), I recently created two iDVD projects
Video from both passed from FCE 4.01 with chapters
One project worked fine in creating disk image file
The other gave Multiplex Errors
I tried suggestions to remove special characters and no chapter marks at beginning, but nothing worked
Note that I've used iDVD for dozens of projects and this is first time I've run into Multiplex Errors
Anyway, for problem project, I tried an experiment where I removed all chapters in FCE and passed to new iDVD project
This time multiplex errors gone
So had something to do with chapters
So now I tried numerous experiments to remove individual chapters and try again creating disk image with new iDVD project
After numerous tries, I was able to narrow problem down to 1 "Bad" chapter mark
That is, when I left the "bad" chapter in my FCE project and passed to iDVD, iDVD gave multiplex error
When I removed "bad" chapter mark (and others in), no multiplex error
As a final experiment, I moved "bad" chapter mark about 5-10 sec's beyond original point and passed to iDVD, the multiplex errors now magically went away and I was able to finally create my disk image.
I have no idea why this worked, but thought I'd mention here in case someone else runs into similar problem.

In addition to Bengt's fine advice, burning errors can occur if you have located any of your menu buttons wholly or partly outside of the safe TV viewing area. Go to your main project menu, then click on View/Show TV Safe Area, to check. Drag into the safe viewing area any buttons that are outside the safe viewing area.
Russ One - suggest this
Multiplex Error-There was an error during muxing preparation
One thing that worked for me was to export the video w/o chapter markers as a self contained movie (thereby not loosing the edits & etc). Then make a new FCE project and import that movie into a new sequence and add the chapter markers. I've used "-", "&" and "," with no problem in the chapter names. Removing the markers or exporting without them did solve the problem but renaming them with just numbers 1,2,3....5, did not solve the problem and since this problem seems to happen with with iMovie as well, it would suggest the problem is in the video or audio and in combination with the chapter markers iDVD just can't handle it. The only other possibility is that both iMovie and FCE share the same or similar chapter marker code that some how is corrupting the markers.
Summary - What to try
1. Chapters
• Only A to Z and 0 to 9 in chapter title
• No Chapter mark at very beginning of movie
• No Chapter mark in or within 2 seconds from any transition in movie
2. TV-safe area for buttons (no one outside this)
3. Safe re-boot
4. No other external devices connected - that are not needed
SDMacuser adds to this
• On #4 ... No ext. devices. Some think this applies mainly to ext. FW. Not the case. Also applies to ext. USB2 as well (not to mention flash drives too).
Do not leave 3rd party devices / camera / camcorder plugged in unless it is being used with iDvd's One Step process. Certain web cams can trigger this also (especially ones with added features like LED light/s that draw additional power from the FW or USB bus).
5. Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-up hard disk
6. Make a DiskImage first - reduces where problem originates
7. Trash iDVD pref. file
8. Make a new iDVD project
9. Movies in project with same aspect ratio e.g. 4x3 or 16x9
10. No other programs/applications running during iDVD process. e.g. Internet, screen & energy savers

I recently updated my IOS using the beta found on an iTunes account link... Ever since then I've been unable to log into my iMessages and FaceTime account through my iTunes. The only explanation it gives me is that my connection was lost.... What to do?

whether i use a DL DVD or just a DVD R, it tells me there was an error during multiplexing. I have tried changing every setting, best performance, professional quality, etc. and still get the same error message every time i try to burn to dvd.

Welcome to the forums.
Looks like that error message does refer to encoding (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1645) but a problem could be that your video has to be reloaded into iDVD if you started the encoding process and then switched settings. You could start a new iDVD project, or try deleting encoded assets.
Let's start from the beginning -- what length of video are you trying to fit on the DVD? (this will indicate what encoding options you have). Double layer DVDs can be finicky and are used for video more than 2 hrs long.
Use good quality media -- Verbatim is often recommended around here, and I've used Sony DVD-R with good results.
For a detailed treatise, see: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3926901?tstart=0

GRRR! "There was an error during movie encoding"

I can't seem to compile and burn a DVD to save my life with iDVD. I have a video that I created and exported using iMovie and two shorter ones created in Photoshop CS6 — all three are the same encoding: 1920 x 1080, H.264, AAC, Color profile: HD (1-1-1). The one exported with iMovie is a .mov file and the other two are .mp4 files — none of them with any sort of copyright/permissions protection on them.
iDVD previews them all just fine, but EVERY SINGLE TIME I go to try and burn a DVD it gives me the above error message, "Encoding Video: There was an error during movie encoding" which tells me absolutely nothing. This might not stress me out so much if it were just a personal project, but rather it's for a friend's wedding that I shot and iDVD's failure to do a basic thing like encode video is really ticking me off.
I tried to localize the issue by trying to burn just the .mov file and then just one of the .m4v files — and have found it chokes on m4v files. Why is this so??
If I'm doing something wrong, the error message should give me a little more feedback than just "oh there was an error."

Hi
We are only Users - trying to help other users - rarely Apple or program developer drop in for a look so I would send feedback here
• www.apple.com/feedback/idvd.html
BUT as Apple discarded the product in all - can not even be bought any more - any further development is most certainly never to be.
But what You feed iDVD matters and - You and so many more has the idea that .mov or .m4v etc are movie formats/codecs - they are not - only containers - so to figure out what You give iDVD You need to find what's in them. I do like this
• Open them in QuickTime Player
• here open Inspector [cmd+I]
• read - Video Format/Codec: nnnnnnn
What does it say and in what frame rate (fps) ?
iDVD can only do good (very good) DVDs when feed
25 or 29.97 fps
interlaced SD-Video
So by feeding it 1920x1080 24fps - to make a NTSC (29.97fps) DVD - result will be very BAD. Conversion is of need. I use following programs to do this
• Frame Rate - JES_Deinterlacer
• MPEG Streamclip
• QuickTime 7.6 + Pro-upgrade

?¿There was an error during muxing preparation (project conversion).?¿

*There was an error during muxing preparation (project conversion).*
can anyone elaborate on this?

Same thing just happened to me. I re-output my quicktime movie with chapter markers turned off. You probably have a chapter mark set too close to the beginning, end or near a transition. I didn't have time to futz with the markers so I just turned them off.
Muxing stands for multiplexing. It's when iDVD takes all the data layers, video, audio etc. and multiplexes them into one data stream. When you play the dvd in your player that one data stream is DE-Muxed back into the original layers.
When you give iDVD a quicktime movie with chapter marks it encodes those chapters as separate mpeg 2 clips. When it muxes it combines everything into one stream. If there are any inconsistencies then muxing fails.
DVD Studio pro gives a more detailed log when muxing fails. It usually involves problems with chapter marks.

Hi John,
I customized the standerd Transfer BR according to my requirement. And I am using the customized form.
I tried to change the Action in (Action is smart list) in the form, it is getting saved but with the error There was an error during the save process.
My requirement is Action updated through BR only. But it is not updating. Previously the same BR worked fine.
Is there any relationship between the error and the Action was not updating?
Thanks & Regards,
Sravan Kumar.

It says there was an error during installation, and I should reinstall...? But I have a million times

I don't know i'm doing this for my sister. She keeps uninstalling and reinstalling, and everytime she clicks on it, it says 'there was an error, please reinstall, error code 7, windows error code 998 ' or something like that. how do we stop this?

Is there another error message along with the 7 mentioning a specific file? If so, what is the name of the file? (Precise spelling, please.)

Dvd studio pro 4 won't write disc? it just says there was an error during encoding over and over again...

It just says that there was an error encoding over and over again. It is version 4.2.2 It said the software required a dvd- which i used... I've tried just backing up the video to a disc not using studio pro but my computer won't do it? Any suggestions?

David's right. Do the encode in compressor and bring the resulting m2v (video) and ac3 (audio) into dvdsp. Then do an advanced burn: build in dvdsp and test the build using the mac dvdplayer to play the video_ts folder you've created. Just go to file: Open DVD Media and point to the build folder or the video_ts folder within it. If this works, your dvd burner is probably the problem. You can buy an external burner for not a lot of money. Apple sells one, and you can even get cheaper ones than that.
