TS4268 imessage and facetime set up on new phone

Hi Can't activate imessage or facetime on my new iphone 5S. I have restored from my old phone, wiped the old phone back up and done a new one, disabled restrictions, waited the 24 hours, set the old phone to default so it doesn't interfere? Thanks

  • I can't sign in to my iMessage and FaceTime after getting a new apple ID account. What should I do to solve it?

    When I got my iPad I created a new apple ID it was working fine but then one day when I went to the app store and checked my apple ID, as usual it asked for a password, I typed the password in and was very sure it was the right one because i've been using it for a long time. Then it said incorrect password. I tried to type it in again and again and again but it still said incorrect password. We checked if it still exists on apple.com but then it said no apple ID found or no matches to our records or something like that. So I decided to get a new one but still used the same email. I found out that if 1 email is associated with 2 different apple ID's it may cause problems but as I said we checked if the old one still existed on apple.com it said it didn't so I thought it was fine to use the email again. After that the app store was working fine. I can install games and apps. I knew I had to sign in to iMessage and FaceTime again because of the I got a new apple ID but whenever I try signing in, it always says "Incorrect password" and sometimes "check you internet connection". I've tried signing in over and over again but nothing worked I still can't sign jn to iMessage and Facetime. What do you think I should do?

  • TS4268 Imessage and Facetime ID

    i have a new ipad mini. when trying to sign in using my apple ID for imessage and FaceTime. it shows that apple id or password is incorrect. help please

    Go to Settings>>Message>>Send&Receive and check if your Apple ID was set or not. If not, set it properly.
    If it is still not working, unsign your Apple ID and select your mobile number ("+" "country code" "mobile number").
    Also check in: Settings>>Message if you turned on iMessage before. Here, turn off "Show Subject Field".
    Did you turn on iCloud as well?

  • TS4268 iMessage and Facetime activation ISSUES

    I had inserted my friend's SIM card in my iPhone when i first bought it. A few hours later I inserted my new SIM card into the phone. Everything worked fine besides iMessage and Facetime. After a day Facetime started working and started to display my number as the default one (Earlier, it used to display my friend's number). However, iMessage is not yet activated. It still shows my friend's number when i check the settings and all i see is that its "waiting for activation". My wi-fi and 3G connections are working fine. Have laready tried switiching the phone off and restarting it. Have also put my number in the 'Phone settings". No matter what I'm doing, the my number is not being displayed in iMessage and only my friend's number is showing.
    Please help.

    Back up your data and do a reset all settings. This should work.
    Settings > Geenral > Reset > Reset All settings In case this does not work connect to your iphone and make sure you atake a back up again and then restore. This will definately work.
    Cheers,

  • 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?

  • TS4268 IMessage and FaceTime not working on iPod touch

    Hey, so I got this iPod fifth generation three days ago. I have been iMessaging and facetiming a couple of my friends and it was working great up until yesterday morning. I have tried several other suggestions off the apple help site but none have worked and I don't want to have to restart my iPod because I will lose the information that I already have. My Internet is working great because I am on it right now. If anybody has any suggestions I would really appreciate it.

  • TS4268 Imessage and FaceTime enabling

    Hope this is some what related, but does iMessage need to be turned on/enabled for FaceTime calls? I know you need an account, just wanna know if it needs to be set to On in the settings menu. Thank you!

    You do not need to turn on imessage for face time calls.You will need to have an apple id to use imessage and face time.You must be connected to wifi.
    Thank you

    Just downloaded Mountain Lion onto my Macbook pro, when I try to add my iMessage account to messages or log in to FaceTime, a window pops up saying the server encountered a problem processing registration. How do I fix this? The simpler the explanation the better, thanks.

    It sounds like you did the first part of the following. Thus it seems yo have to try the second parts evenought you do not want o signout on the iPhone

  • My iMessage and Facetime wont activate on my phone

    what do I do? I'm with Wind could this be the problem?
    somemore details, it will always say activation unsuccesful

    Do a search here on the forum for Wind. I've recalled reading some issues with them. I believe I also saw a post where they are supposed to have a link on their website regarding this, but it is reported that not everything works well with them and the iPhone.

  • How to change IMessage and FaceTime phone number on Macbook Air?

    So I've just made the switch over to Apple computers from my forever  relationship with Windows. I discovered that I can use IMessage and Factime on here but it links to not my Iphone, but to my father's whose is supposed to be on another itunes account but I'm not really sure. Sometimes IMessage in my Macbook will come across as my number, others my Dad's. My Iphone is on the itunes account that my Macbook is on but how do I make it so that the Imessage and Facetime go ONLY through MY phone? Sorry if this is confusing I'm not really sure what I should clarify. Thanks in advance!
