Unable to use my apple id for facetime and imessage.

I recently changed my apple id so that I was not sharing the same id with my son.  Now I cannot use my apple id for facetime or imessage.  I can use my son's id, but not mine. (So no network errors, just an id problem.) 
I am using the latest software - iOS version 8.02
My time and date are correct.
The error message I see is that my user name or password is incorrect, but I am 100% sure that I have entered it correct.  Same id/pw works for icloud, itunes, etc. 
Same problems exists for iPad 3 as for iPhone 5.
Is there some way I can reset my facetime/imessage settings and clear out any old data that might be stored somewhere (hopefully not wiping out the whole phone/ipad?) 
Thanks!
Kelly

Hello Kmart212,
If you are having issues with FaceTime and iMessage, then check out the articles below for more information on how to troubleshoot your issue further. I would also make sure that your new Apple ID is verified and not causing any conflicts.

  • HT5616 How can you see a list of devices registered to use our apple ID for FaceTime and other services?

    Sometimes I will get a notification that x device is using my apple ID for FaceTime (or other services). Sometimes it is just generic Mac Book Pro. His can I see which devices are using my ID (and can you see more details than just the name)?

    I just started getting this message too.  Just started the last couple of days.  It doesn't give a time that it was used.  All it says that "appleid" was used to sign in to facetime on Macbook.  My Macbook is not named "Macbook."  It also doesn't correlate to times when computer is being used.

  • Someone else is using my email id for facetime and imessage, how can i fix this??

    How can i fix this??

    To elaborte on Davids response aortiz5 you can got to appleid.apple.com and click the option to manage your apple id.  Here you will be able to change your primary apple id and email address if you want. Or if this is your apple id and you think some one else has access to it you can click on passwords and security on the left and change your password for your apple id which will cause the other devices to prompt for the new password.

  • Somebody uses my apple id for facetime on his iphone how can i remove his phone from my account?

    somebody uses my apple id for facetime on his iphone how can i remove his phone from my account?

    Last Spring I received a couple of emails to an alias I set up a long time ago under mac mail with mac.com - not my main ID - at mac.com.   The mail had the Icloud extension.     I just deleted it.
    I then received a couple of e-mails forwarded to the same alias that came from a non-apple account that led me to search to see if the company was legit - it was.     Using a non-apple hidden account I sent that non-apple account an email informing them apparently when they registered the ID or alias as an ICLOUD extension - apple did not check for duplication in accounts or aliases that were not in the Icloud.
    I also sent feedback to Apple telling them to fix it and apparently they did - along with the person who replicated my alias.
    On this site there were a number of postings from people who also had problems with mac mail and Icloud who resolved it by contacting Apple and getting the accounts cleared up.

    While I have a few ideas, I think you'd have better luck troubleshooting this in the iCloud forum.

  • HT5622 I had this pop up: Add (phone number) for Facetime and iMessage. This phone number was associated with AppleID  on iPhone. I havent used it or done anything. What does this mean? Is someone using my ID and do they have my pasword.?

    If it isn't from something you did (like update iOS on an iPhone, or activate a new iPhone), then yes, I would be suspicious.

  • Your Apple ID was used to sign in to FaceTime and iMessage on an iPad

    Have users getting emails with subject your apple id was used to sign in to facetime and imessage on an ipad. It will then have another users name listed as
    Dear "that other person"
    your apple id (another user than the Dear person above) was used to sign in to FaceTime and Imessage on an ipad.
    Why would the first person be different than the next?

    fentonr,
    This is what the link in the email displays:
    What do you think?
    Delete the email, it is a phishing attempt.
    Identifying fraudulent "phishing" email offers tips and provides a way to report it to Apple.

    How do I switch my email account to cell for FaceTime and iMessages?

    I think you are asking how to use your phone number with FaceTime and Messages rather than an email address, but you must have an iPhone number not just any "cell" phone number.
    Take a look at this.

  • Getting error message when trying to add apple id to facetime and imessage, getting error message when trying to add apple id to facetime and imessage

    When I try to add my Apple ID to Facetime or iMessage, I get an error message "username or password is incorrect " even though its the same username and password I use for everything else.
    anyone else getting this problem?

    The Order has got 5 lines. First 4 lines are product lines and the 5th line is a service.
    We have a customized form called mass order change which will bring only the product lines when we query a order. We usually do the mass update of shceduling date
    and promise date in that form for all the order lines or for some perticular lines in that order.
    For one order when i tried to update the scheduling date and promise date its showing this message. Not sure why??.. i have checked the form logic and the package which this form is using but all of them are calling the standard API process_order to change the sales order. I found out that This message is a standard Oracle message : OE_SCH_OVER_ATP_NO_SCH_ACT. I tried to find this message in process_order API but could'nt find this message. status of these 4 lines are : Awaiting Shipping
