TS4268 I upgraded my phone, now facetime and imessaging wont work.

So i upgraded from a iphone 4 to the 4S and I cant get my imessaging or facetime to work. I can sign in and out of the old phone and it still works but the new phone just gets an error message when I try and sign in. What can i do?

Ok, Can you try these:
Turn both FaceTime and iMessage off and then back on in Settings, be sure to wait a minute before your turning them back On. Wait for activation.
If that doesn't work, turn both FaceTime and iMessage Off and reboot your phone by holding down both the Home button on the front, and the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device, wait for the Apple logo to appear. Once back on, turn on either FaceTime or iMessage and wait for activation. Make sure your Cellular network is working and you are connected a Wifi network.
If it still doesn't work, try to Reset Network Settings from Settings > General > Reset.
Hope that helps.

iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation

Since upgrading TO iOS 8.3 FaceTime and iMessages stop working at me iPhone 4s.

Facetime and iMessages are working no my iPad with my email direction but not recognizing my celular number, my iPhone. What can I do TO make ig work?

I had this issue with my iPhone5 on Verizon. I just finished a call with Apple, here were the steps we took to correct the issue;
Connected phone to computer, opened iTunes
clicked on the phone icon in iTunes and selected Summary tab
selected Restore iPhone
When asked, selected set up as new, not from a backup. During this process iTunes found and downloaded new carrier settings
When this restore completed I had cell signal
then restored from a backup

I just bought an android phone and the previous owner of the number had an iphone and imessage wont work, how do I fix that?

I just bought an android phone and the previous owner of the number had an iphone and imessage wont work, how do I fix that?
I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S4, and my wife has an iphone. We found out that imessage wont come through from her. After we went to the AT&T helpdesk they said that she could turn off imessage on her phone and that I would get texts on my S4. But then so would everyone else who has an iphone. That won't work for everyone in my company that has an iphone. So what I am wondering is- since I recently got this phone, should I get a new number? Or should I contact ATT or contact Apple to try and get this number de-activated? I'm thinking I'll never get into the icloud account that this number is attached to, but maybe someone has some advice on that?
I just sincerely want imessage to work on this phone and I'm willing to take the steps to do that.
Please help

Either one of the two should work - getting new number from carrier or contacting Apple to revoke phone number from imessage system.
That is if your problem is described correctly.

Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for error 1604.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

Facetime and iMessage not working after upgrade to Mountain Lion

Was running Messages (beta) and Facetime on my Macbook Pro with Lion. I used both Facetime and sent iMessages through the Messages client, and they were both working 100%.
Today I upgraded from Lion (latest version) to Mountain Lion. All is working except iMessages (through the Messages application) and Facetime. When I try to log in, using the same @gmail.com account as I had done before, I get the message saying "The server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later".
I know that iMessage, with that account, is working. I am using it from my iPhone and it works ok. And I use the same account in iTunes, and it is ok there as well.
So what is wrong ? What happened with iMessage and Facetime connectivity after the Mountain Lion upgrade ?

backup the device with itunes.
Restore the device with itunes and set up as new.
Sign into the facetime and imessage to activate it.
After that is done and activation is good.
Restore from the backup.
Then make sure to sign into facetime and imessage again and you should be good to go

Uphraded from 3GS to 4 and restored 4 from a backup, now FaceTime and iMessage isn't present on the 4. Help?

What do I do? I don't know how to get FaceTime and iMessages back.

It sounds like you have done a lot of troubleshooting already, but I'm not seeing that you signed out of Messages on the Mac and then signed back in. I would also suggest that you try signing out of iCloud and then back in again (since your Contacts seem to not be registering correctly either).
Worth a shot....

IOS 6 disaster. Facetime and imessage not working. sync problems

Hi all.
I just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced so many bugs with iOS6?
Upgraded to an ipad 3 32GB wifi . Gave my dad ipad 2(restored and logged in with his apple id).
All was well. Then iOS 6 came along
I am able to log into my apple id but everytime i try to sign into facetime it says username or password is incorrect.
it worked a couple times but then stopped working again.
I am positive the password is correct.
I reset the password and am using the new one.
It is correct.
Restored the ipad.
worked for a while.. then the same thing
now i can't sync, Am getting an error message . Currently restoring the ipad again.
I am able to purchase items on itunes still on my desktop and my apple id seems to be working otherwise.
Facetime and imessage is not
please help?
anyone else experienced similiar issues with iOS6 ?
It should be mentioned that i couldn't purchase items directly from my ipad with the appstore for a period of time but it worked when i purchased through itunes on my desktop
Are these bugs associated with iOS6?
Again any help will be greatly appreciated
Cheers

I have the exact same problem!! it's been driving me crazy!! I have iPhone 4 but my iMessage works fine however.
Just the FaceTime doesn't work at all, my phone number is registered ,
just when I try to add my email (apple ID) to make the facetime works & activate .. I write down my email & password correctly , it says password is incorrect! =(((
I changed my password, I tried resetting the settings and turning on & off the phone and all. Nothing Works!!
this is one of MANY bugs I have after I updated (& made the most terrible mistake of my life) to iOS 6 !!
Apps are crashing & force closing including their new app store. Youtube application is vey slow. Maps aren't accurate not even half the quality of google maps. Screen freezes sometimes =((
I'm very disaapointed at Apple seriously!! this could be their one mistake that will drop down their whole legendary iPhone into the sewer!

Facetime and Imessage stopped working

Hi guys,
Sorry to bombard you with another Imessage/Facetime problem. So bascially a few nights ago, both these functions stopped working. I have tried all that is to be done from the other threads but still no luck. However my account that is also linked with my phone is working fine, it only appears to be my Ipad that isnt working. Any tips on how to fix this problem?
Thanks heaps!

OK so I just played around with it and realised that my Wifi was the problem. I hotspotted my iPad and the facetime and imessage came back instantly. So now this poses a new question, my wifi connection bar says its connected, and yes it is, working fine for normal browsing, youtube etc... However when it comes to my iMessage and Facetime, it doesnt connect.
So is there a way for me to to fix this?
Regards

FaceTime and imessage not working in South Africa

Help! I'm in South Africa for a month and my iMessage and FaceTime aren't working. When I try to imessage someone, the message says "turn off airplane mode or use wifi to send and receive messages" but i have full wifi strength. When I try to FaceTime, it says to check the number, it might not be complete. I've tried calling the number as usual, then the international number to ca from South Africa to the US.
I have an iPhone 5s, My email is working fine. My phone is on airplane mode but I have full wifi strength. My date and time is set automatically to Cape Town. Please someone help me figure out why this isn't working! I can't find any other solutions on the internet. Thank you!

I can't get FaceTime and iMessage to work on iPhone 5 operating on 6.0.2, please help

I can't get FaceTime or iMessage to work, i get a message displaying waiting for activation. Also when I make a call the FaceTime icon just says activating

1. Make sure software is up to date (important)
2. Make sure FaceTime is enabled; Settings>FaceTime
3. Make sure Date and Time is correctly set; Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>On
4. Make sure Push Notification is enabled
5. Make sure phone number or email address is correct
6. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) until you see the Apple Logo

Need help fixing my 3 Gen IPAD, FACETIME and iMESSAGES stopped working for me. Help please... more info to follow.

FT and iMessages used to work for me, but when I try to sign into them, it kicks me back to the sign in screen 9 out of ten times saying..."You were signed out of FaceTime because your AppleID or password changed. Sign in to turn on FaceTime.
When it DOES eventually let me through, either via restart/reset it tries to verify my email... fails... then says it sent an e-mail to my account, which never arrives. I tried resetting my security questions and I do get e-mails when I go that route. Still no fix.
My account still works via the app store/itunes/apple webpage, etc.
I've tried calling support and they seemed stumped. Trying re-syncing, hard reset...resetting all my settings, I have time auto-synced... still no remedy. Please help. Bought this specifically for Facetime and now I can't even get that to work.

OK, the fix was frustratingly easy.
My Apple ID is an old @mac.com address which is non functioning. This email address was also sitting in "alternate email addresses" within my Apple ID settings page. I deleted it and FaceTime and iMessage now work.
I went to www.appleid.apple.com and logged in using my normal Apple ID credentials. I then made sure that ANY alternate email addresses listed under the Apple ID were in fact verifed. Sitting happily in there under "Alternate Email Address" was the @mac.com which was the non-functioning email address. I deleted and it's all now working. I also deleted some other alternate email addresses that were sitting in there.
The only other suggestion from Apple was to create a separate Apple ID specifically for the FaceTime / iMessage functionality.
They said the conflict probably arose from the fact that the Apple ID was associated with an alternate email address which could NOT be verified.
I have to hand it to the Senior Tech Analysist from Apple in Brisbane. Very helpful, very friendly and their follow-through and ownership of my problem were very good.

TS4268 I upgraded my phone, now facetime and imessaging wont work.
