TS4268 Ever since iMessage and FaceTime have existed, they have not worked on my iPod.
Ive tried to sign in with many different emails and I've googled every possible solution and nothing works. I've had my iPod for about 2 years and iMessage and Facetime have never worked for me. I've also had two different iPod in this 2 year time period, because one broke (both 4th generations) and iMessage and Facetime didn't work on either of them, so it's gotta be my email or something, right? Not the iPod? Idk, maybe I'll just buy the 5th generation...
is your iDevice jailbroken? thats probably the only thing I can think of thats making it not work, try going to a apple store and see if they can help

The iMessage and FaceTime on the ipad will not work.
For Christmas I got the ipad2 with just wifi. I logged in with the same apple Id on the ipad that I use on my iPhone 4. I set the ipad up... It's connected to wifi and the iMessage and FaceTime will not work. When I try to send a message, after a minute or so, it says message failure. When I try to FaceTime someone it says connection lost when I AM STILL connected to the wifi. Does anyone know what I can do to fix the problem??
ThanksThere is no official public documentation of that alert as far as I know.
If you're trying to sign in to FaceTime, try to sign in to iMessage in the Messages application, or vice versa.
Otherwise, do as the alert directs. According to reports, you won't be charged for the support call if you select "Apple ID"—not the hardware model—as the product you're asking about, and cite the "customer code" in the alert as the "validation code" when you speak to the Apple representative. I can't confirm. -
I recently uploaded OSX 10.6.7 and ever since then, my Boris titler in FCP does not work with all the fonts, notably Avenir. It actually crashes FCP now. It was fine with the previous version. What's up Apple?
I know what your'e going through, Gary. OSX 10.6.7 is an absolute disaster. Since I upgraded, I've had problems in FCP, Logic, Garageband, even issue dealing with peripheral hardware like external monitors.
Before 10.6.7 my system was running fine.
I've brought this up with Apple repeatedly. They smile and shrug. They've been helpful resolving the issues, but none of them has been easy to solve. I have spent days, dealing back and forth with tech support, sending logs, etc., before solutions have been found.
I wish I could give you an answer to your question. My only guess is that Apple has totally dropped the ball on this one. In the future they should provide a disclaimer when they offer an upgrade. Something like: "Caution: all of your software may not function after this upgrade. But go ahead, you'll feel cool that your OS is the latest thing."
As someone who has been with Apple for close to 25 years, I'm disturbed by what appears to be an increasing sloppiness in their work. This is especially disturbing when you depend upon their system to make your living.
Good luck.

I previously had an ipod nano but now have an ipod touch, when I synced it for the first time I got songs on to the ipod which I dont want, I have tried unticking them in itunes library and this doesnt work. I have also tried going to summary to remove manually but it doesnt show any songs in this box to be removed. Can anone help please.
Is your device recognized by your computer? If yes, copy the pictures and videos as shown in this article:
Copying personal photos and videos from iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer
If it is not recognized, try this first: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Disable autosync in iTunes, right click on it in the device list and choose "transfer purchases" to copy apps and other media bought in iTunes to your new library.
Do the same again and choose "backup", to create a manual backup without syncing.
Since your device will be erased due to the new iTunes library during the first sync, you can use this backup afterwards to restore your settings and data.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer before you start, to be able to merge calendars and contacts. -
I have problems to activate imessage and facetime on my iphone
i have problems to activate imessage and facetime on my iphone, it doesnt work with my phone number, only with icloud and when somebody tries to contact me on facetime, it show them that im not connected, please help!
Have you tried restarting the phone? Hold both Home and Power buttons down until Apple logo appears and phone "reboots".
And have you tried resetting Network Settings?
Settings => General => Reset => Reset Network Settings
You will have to re-enter Wifi Passwords but it might help you get to a more solid connection on your phone. -
Imessage and Facetime activation woes after ID change.
Hi all,
I had to change my Apple ID due to an email change. I then started the process of changing my Apple ID on my iPad 3 and my iPhone 3Gs.
iCloud is working fine and so is the app store (I can install new apps and update old apps). The problem comes with iMessage and Facetime. Whilst I have managed to input the new ID and password (using the 'put in the wrong password until it asks for the ID again' method) it will not verify or activate.
Once I have entered the new username and password on the Enter Apple ID page, I hit 'Sign In'; this then takes me to a page saying 'People will message you using your email address. What email address would you like to use?' Sometimes it then goes back to the Sign In page without any action from me and other times I get to hit 'Next' (the address is already filled in with my email which is the same as my Apple ID). It then goes through the verification process which fails, saying 'Unable to verify addres. An email with verification link has been sent to the above email address'.
The email address is verified if I check my Apple ID online and no email ever appears in my email; I have checked the Spam etc.
I have tried doing a 'Reset All' and also a 'Reset Network Settings' (although I have no network problems).
This problem occurs in the same way on both my iPhone and my iPad which makes me think it is an account problem and not a device problem. Do I need to go through the registration process with both devices using the new Apple ID or could there be another problem?
I have searched the forums but can't find exactly this problem being solved elsewhere.
Many thanks.Hi Karl.
Thanks for the tips, but when I wrote earlier:
"Tried all that, but unfortunately nothing worked.
Both iMessage and FaceTime used to work properly always, and the problem started after updating to iOS8.
I followed all the steps you suggested, including the annoying reset, but things are just the same."
I was referring to a similar suggestion made by ManSinha where he said:
"Log out of iCloud
Reset the phone
Then Log back into iCloud
Then reactivate iMessage and FaceTime"
Also followed the steps suggested in the Apple support papers you mentioned, but things are still the same.
I think I'll have to wait for my next trip to USA or Europe where I can visit an Apple store and work out things there.
As a matter of fact, I'm about to receive my new iPhone 6 in these days (brought by a friend of mine from USA), and hopefully I'll be having my services back, but I'm still worried by this iPhone 5s issue because I'm passing it to my son. -
MacBook Pro keeps asking to sign into iCloud, iMessage, and FaceTime
My wife's MacBookPro11,3 keeps asking her to sign into iCloud, iMessage, and FaceTime, non of which she uses. She keeps clicking on cancel, but they just keep popping back up, one after the other. She is using OS 10.9.3. Any suggestions how to stop this non-stop cycle? We've tried re-starting the computer, but that didn't help. I didn't see anything in preferences that I could turn off. She has just moved the pop-up window over to the edge of the screen so she can keep using the computer. Thanks.
Do you mean logging in and out of the MacBook Pro, or in and out of iCloud, iMessage, and FaceTime? I will have her try logging in and out of the MacBook Pro.
Thanks for the suggestion. -
Iphone 4s imessaging and facetime wont activate!
I have signed into my itunes account on my iphone, but everytime I try to activate Imessaging and Facetime it tells me "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again." I have tried this in several wifi areas and it proceeds to tell me the same thing. I have made sure I have verified my appleid and tried all the troubleshooting intructions, but nothing seems to work. Now I cannot receive any notifications for any of my apps and when i get on to the app it tells me "Connect to iTunes to use puch notifications." And yes I have connected to iTunes through the computer and still couldnt figure out a solution. I dont understand what else the problem could me??
I've got the same problem as above with my 4S with same error about my Internet Connection. I've tried signing in to both FaceTime and iMessage using both 3G and WiFi and always get the same error - "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again." but can sign into iTunes and this Forum no problems with same ID. My FaceTime and iMessage worked earlier on iOS6 but I just upgraded to 7 and now get these problems. Can it be a problem with the upgrade and 4S's??

When setting up my new iPad and entering my own Apple ID my sisters number appeared on the imessage and facetiming; however her number is not associated with my Apple ID. How do I change the number to my own?
Turn iMessage and FaceTime off, reset the device by holding both buttons until the apple logo appear then let go and wait for it to restart. Then turn iMessage and FaceTime back on and enter the settings again

Messages and facetime all of a sudden quit working
(icloud) imessage and facetime all of a sudden stopped working and advice to how to get it working again?
I had the same problem too. For some reason the phone settings turned them off. For iMessage you have to go to Settings>iMessage and turn it back on. Same for FaceTime, go to Settings>Facetime and turn it back on. Don't know why some peoples stayed on and others, like ours, turned off. Hope this helps

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?
It was downloaded through my iTunes account... So im sure it wasn't pirated. It's nothing more than a beta test to work out the bugs. But do u have any suggestions as to how i can about redownloading the same iOS but now the 'bugs' should be all worked out....
