TS4268 Messaging and Face time on i pad stopped working yesterday. Tried everything suggested Help!
Messaging and Face Time stopped working yesterday, tried all methods suggested. HELP!
An issue came up in the last couple of weeks regarding a bug in the facetime software. It was repaired by the most recent upgrade. So make sure you are current (ios 7.1.1) And tell whoever you are trying to talk to to do the same. See if that clears it up.

My daughter shares my apple id on her ipod touch. i recently got an i pad and now i'm getting all of her instant messages and face time calls. Is there a way to change her contact information for those two areas so i don't get them on my i pad but keep the same apple id for purchases? Thank you

Thank you. I tried changing his id but it changed it on both devices:( Don't really have a clue:( I have set up an email account so that he can get an Apple ID.

This seems to be a common issue within the last few days (at least). It also seems to be on Apple's end but one never knows. There are numerous other posts here in these forums outlining the same issue. Here are a couple of them:

Maybe one of them will help you out, but if the issue is indeed on Apple's end, there's not much anyone can do until they resolve it. -

Since I have upgraded to iOS 7 messages on my ipad will not send. I get a red message saying not delivered I have tried everything suggested so far, still nothing.
I'm having the same problem with my Wife's old iPhone 3G. It's battery went completely dead and now all it does when I hit the power button is shows the screen that shows the animated charger/battery saying to plug it into a charger and then it shuts off. The thing is, it's plugged into a charger, I've tried several, I've tried getting into DFU mode to restore 4.2.1 and see if that would help but I can't get into DFU mode because the iPhone shuts off before it gets a chance to load I suppose.
If I find a solution that works to get the iPhone out of this quirk/bug mode it's in right now from the battery dying, I will post it here so you can fix your iPhone as well.
Best of luck with finding your solution to fix this! We're both probably going to need it because so far I've searched for the answer for the past hour and still can't get it to even start charging.

After downloading iOS 8.1.3, I lost the use of messaging, face time and shortly there after my e-mail. I changed and reset everything I could on my I-Pad... same result. It can't be my router or my provider, for my I-Pod touch works fine. Any suggestions? Thanks, Val
Hello there berczy,
As I understand it, you are not able to use iMessage, FaceTime or any email service on your phone. Saying you've tried everything would generally make me recommend that you restore the phone from a backup but that can take a long time, so without knowing exactly what steps you have taken, I would like for you to review the troubleshooting in the following article for FaceTime and iMessage:
If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime
And to troubleshoot the Mail app, use this article:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

Hi berczy,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing multiple issues with your iPad after updating. It sounds like you are on the right track, as all three of these tasks require an internet connection. To help isolate the issue further, are you able to open webpages in Safari? If not, we’ll need to troubleshoot the iPad’s network connection:

Messages and Face Time stopped accepting Apple ID password
I'm running Mavericks with the latest update on iMac. Both Messages and FaceTime no longer accept my Apple ID password and therefore no longer work.
1. Reinstalled OS X from Recover mode.
2. Changed Apple ID password successfully
3. No issues with Messages and FaceTime on other devices, (MacBook Pro running Mavericks, next to last update, iPad mini, iPad, iPhone 4.)
Both before and after I successfully changed my Apple ID password, Messages brings up an error message that my Apple ID can't be used at this time and to contact support with the code 1598-4649-2012. When I call Support, the automated message says my iMac is out of warranty and I have to pay $59 for support.
Is there any other way to restore Messages and FaceTime which were working properly until around the time I updated Mavericks?I'm having a similar problem.
Messages will not accept Apple ID and Password
Every time I try to use Messages on my MacBook Pro a window pops up asking for my Apple ID and Password. After entering my Apple ID and Password I keep getting a window
I can log In to iCloud, and iTunes with the same Apple ID and Password on my MacBook Pro, Mac Mini, & iPhone 5S. All are updated, OS X Mavericks 10.9.4on Macs & IOS 8 on iPhone and changed my password. -
I changed my apple id and everything works fine except message and facetime. I cannot reactivate imessage and facetime is using my email instead of my mobile number. How do I reactivated message and use my mobile number on both applications?
I apologize. I misread your statement.
The information that I provided about adding the phone number back to the iPad is valid and should work. Now as for the activation of messages, take a look at these support articles for starters. Hopefully, something in one of these will help.

Smilebox and MyStart won't go away! I have tried everything. Help.
I downloaded Smilebox to see what they had for newsletter. So now Smilebox won't go away. It is the search engine with its MyStart. I found where I could email them and they promised to send me a password to help me get out of the things. So far nothing. I still have the Smilebox and MyStart which I don't want. Please help. I removed Smilebox from the Control Panel.
