TS4268 facetime is not activating

how to activate facetime

I have the same issue on my iPhone 5, but i can send/receieve iMessages and do Facetime calls. The Settings area shows "Waiting for Activation" under both of them though. I am waiting for my proper nano-SIM to arrive in a day or so, perhaps linking it with a phone number might help. Will update then.
Try Placing a Facetime Call or sending an iMessage to another Apple device near you.

  • When I am trying to sign in to iTunes Store. I am requested to enter a password to the wrong Apple ID mail which does not belong to me... I can't connect to iTunes store and my Viber and Facetime are not active.

    My Apple ID was disabled. I reseted it successfully. Afterwards, when I am trying to update the pending apps in App Store on my phone, in order to sign in to iTunes Store I am requested to enter a password to the wrong Apple ID which definitely does not belong to me ('[email protected]'). Of course, I don't know this password and, consequently, I can't connect to Itunes Store on my Iphone. As a result my Viber and Facetime are not active in the meanwhile. What should I do? Thanks in advance for kind help and solution.

    Where did you get this iPhone?
    Was it new or second hand?
    You have to sign out then sign in with the correct Apple ID and password.
    Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID: > do it here.

  • TS4268 FaceTime will not accept the email address associated with my AppleID

    This is in my Mac.  For some reason, FaceTime does not seem to be on my iPhone 4S, but that's another issue.  On my Mac, which is running 10.8.1, it lets me log in with my Apple ID, but then it asks for an email address, and when I put in the @mac.com address I use every day and is associated with my Apple ID, I get a window saying, "FaceTime Activation  Could not verify the email address.  Please re-enter and try again."
    On the forum page for FaceTime, there is a drop-down saying, "You must choose a community" but all the choices are iOS related, so I picked one..

    May be helpful for others also experiencing this problem...
    I had the same problem with FaceTime and Game Center, but fixed it by going to
    http://appleid.apple.com and verifying my email address.
    Not sure why, as I've been using the same AppleID for years and never had a problem until now. 
    Select the option to have them resend the verificatin email and, once verified, everything should work from there!

  • FaceTime video not active during web browsing

    Hello,
    My friend and I are both using MBP (2011) w/ OS Lion, yet when I start to use Safari, my video pauses and is not in the active screen (I have to go back to the desktop screen to see him and my video feed being un-paused). However, when he uses safari, his video is not paused and is active while using safari (he can surf and vid chat at the same time). I can't see what seetings, if any is causing this to occur. Any thoughts?
    Tx

    I think this is by design.  I think it occus when Safari is in full screen in Lion.  Perhaps your friend isn't in full screen mode.

    You don't in the condition it's in. You will either have to get the phone replaced by Apple or pay a 3rd party to repair it.
    there seriously should be more than two ways to solve this other wise apple is useless and we will never buy another apple product.
    Seriously? It's physically broken!

  • FaceTime not activating :(((

    Please help!!!1.....I brought my Canadian unlocked back down to Boston, and am using T-Mobile USA. Well guess what? After trying activate facetime for the past 3 days, i have incurred abput $6 in United Kingdom Text Message...and its still not activated.
    Was that first batch of Canadian I4s actually coming from UK?? Maybe UK Refurbs, trying to pass onto Canadians? I mean, why does FT activation need to respond to a UK Text number? Why couldnt it have just been done through iTunes...Im feeling a little dissapointed in having spent $659 for this just to have now $6 of UK texting fees..and i wouldnt even mind so much if it actually activated FT, but its not even activating....:(

    I doubt that refurbished UK phones are going to Canada. Apple doesn't sell refurbished iPhones, except a replacements for damaged ones.
    But to answer your questions.
    1. Facetime only works on WiFi. And you have to connect to someone who has it.
    2. The iPhone does not work on the T-Mobile Network. I believe you can make calls, if you have an unlocked iPhone, but you can't do data, because T-Mobile is on a different frequency in the US. Not sure why.
    3. As for your UK Texting costs, I have no clue how this has anything to do with Facetime?

    ACTIVATING FACETIME AND IMESSAGES
    Activating Facetime and Imessages on your phone requires the ability to send SMS messages and depending upon where you are that might be an international SMS.  Check with your carrier to see if your plan supports sending of international SMS messages.  If you are having trouble activating Facetime or Imessages turn them both off on your device and reset the device (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost)).  Wait for the device to restart and wait a minute and turn Facetime and imessage back on and wait for activation.  If that does not fix things read the following articles:

  • Been a week already and still, iMessage and FaceTime are NOT working!

    Gosh! it's been a week and still no access!
    Called apple and they want me to pay $19 before they let me know what it is and how to fix it! can you imagine?
    ...and with the message that keep on saying that "the server encoutered an error processing registration. please try again later" the chances that is a problem at Apple are high.
    AND I SHOULD PAY $19?!?!
    I've been with Apple since I was 15 (now 37, 38 in few months) and being a customer since I was 19.
    The service and assistance use to be fab. and the more the time pass by the more it gets .rappy!
    Thank God the product are still above the competition. But the days where the competitors will be as good as, are not too far from now.
    Apple, you better do something or with the loss of Mr Jobs and the competitors getting better and better day by day, you will face sooner than later a big chunk of customers.
    And the stock market recently shows how much your losses are!
    Anyone can provide any help/suggestion in this regard?
