Why can i not log into i message or facetime since i upgraded to ios 7

I keep trying to log into both the facetime and i message but i am not able to. I get the error message that i am unable to connect and that i must check my connection. I am connected to wi-fi with a good connection. I had no problems until i upgraded to ios 7.2.

Howdy there Wsk327,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like FaceTime and iMessage are giving you some trouble when trying to log in.
I found this article to help troubleshoot what might be going on there:
FaceTime, Game Center, Messages: Troubleshooting sign in issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3970
Ensure that you have an active Internet connection.
Verify that you are using a valid Apple ID at appleid.apple.com. You can also create an Apple ID or reset your password from this website. Other things you should confirm while logged into appleid.apple.com:
Confirm that the email addresse(s) for your Apple ID has been verified.
Check for miss-types of the email address
Check the spelling of the email address
Check that all letters are lower case
Make sure that special characters are correct, e.g. no commas (,) where there is supposed to be full stops (.), etc.
Note You may experience issues if your email address is associated with more than one Apple ID. If you have multiple Apple IDs, log in to appleid.apple.com with each Apple ID and confirm that each email address you wish to use for FaceTime or Messages is associated with only a single Apple ID.
Make sure the date, time, and time zone are set correctly in Data & Time preferences, in System Preferences.Tip: Enable "Set date and time automatically" in Date & Time preferences to automatically keep this information accurate.
If third-party firewall or port filtering software is installed, it needs to be configured to allow connections toapple.com, verisign.com and verisign.net. A list of ports required for using FaceTime and Messages is in Using FaceTime and iMessage behind a firewall. Please consult this article for further help configuring firewalls and Internet security software.
If your /private/etc/hosts file has been modified, make sure that it is not interfering with communications toapple.com, verisign.com or verisign.net servers. Note: Some third-party software installers may modify the /private/etc/hosts file without alerting you. Instructions about how to check and resolve issues with a /private/etc/hosts file are in the "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows)" section of iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting.
If the issue persists after that, try resetting all settings, and then try again.
Reset iPhone settings. Go to Settings > General > Reset, then choose an option:
Reset All Settings:  All your preferences and settings are reset.

    DNS -
    Some folks resolve download and other connection issues by using either OpenDNS or Google Public DNS services. The best use is to use it as the DNS configuration in your modem/router/gateway device, but often the configuration in the computer or iOS device will over ride the other configuration if you don't have access.

  • Why can you not leave a video message with Facetime?

    Would love to be able to leave a video message for the person I'm calling on Facetime if they can't answer.  Is this possible?

    You can send email to anyone.  Messaging (I'm assuming this is what you are talking about--the other party MUST have IOS5 on an Apple device) is different.  Think of it as an add on or a plus.  It means you can message with someone without using your texting allowance on phone for example.  Face time is also Apple to Apple because its an add on.  Otherwise you can use Skype for instance--and I don't quite understand what you mean about using it for email.
    Email is totally usable for any email address.   I've been emailing all over the world with Ipad for a year and 3/4.--same as emailing from any computer or phone.  I just think you are misunderstanding face to face and Imessaging as opposed to regular email.

  • Why can I not log into my photobucket account?!?!?!

    I go to log in and it gives me the error message that the password or email is incorrect. So I click the "forgot password", type in my email and NO RESPONSE is emailed. How do I access my acount?!?!?!

    see your capslock and numlock status, if not that problem, check if there is any key stuckin' there(not correctly jump up), and try an alternative web browser, I.E. 7/8/9, google chrome 10.x, to see if it the problem of firefox. if firefox 4 don't help, try firefox 3.6.16.

  • "An error occurred during activation. Try again." Why can I not sign into imessage?

    "An error occurred during activation. Try again." Why can I not sign into Imessage?

    Hi,
    You stated earlier that you had already deleted the "madrid" .plist with no effect.
    Can I check you did this with the app closed down or at least restarted the app straight afterwards ?
    If you did that close the app if open and access the ~/Library/Preferences  folder again.
    This time delete com.apple.imessage.bag.plist 
    This item stores the Apple server used for your Login to the iMessages server and contains a date/time reference.
    Restarting the app after deleting this file will make it reconnect with the iMessages servers in a fresh manner which my solve things.
    It may sort out any date/time issues with the stored date.
    Messages is one of the app that Apple have "Sandboxed".
    This means that some of it's operations are held away from other apps to prevent one app bringing down several others.
    This is turn means that the route or path used by the app to Read and Write to the various .plists is different to the direct placing in ~/Library/Preferences.
    The Path is ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.iChat/Data/Library/Preferences
    Mostly the items in here are then Aliases that point to the actual originals in ~/Library/Preferences.  However there are exceptions.
    You can copy and paste the Path above in to the Finder > Go Menu > Go to Folder dialogue box to access this folder.
    Once there use the Finder's View Menu > Show Path Bar.
    This adds a collection of folders across the bottom of the Finder window.
    Right click on the Preferences folder at the right hand list of the Path.
    Chose the Get Info option.
    In the Info panel scroll to the Bottom.
    Your Shortname should appear (with (Me) as well) and you should have Read and Write Permissions
    If you highlight this and then use the Cogwheel type iCon it should reveal you shortname again but in Greyed out form which mean you Own the File/folder
    Repeat this for each containing folder until the Library item on the left (you don't need to do the Little House  icon one)
    You should have Read an Write Permissions and Own all of them.
    Can you confirm this ?

    That's just how it is. I've had Game Center logging me back into games since iOS6.  The closest I can come to anonimity on Game Center is to either not use Game Center games or create a generic ID for use in Game Center only.
