Why Can't I Log Into Facetime Or Mail

Hello!
I have a new iMac and I've tried signing into Facetime and Mail with my Apple ID account, but a message pops up that says, "Apple ID/Password is incorrect". I know I am typing in the right password and I've changed it to try it with a different password, and my entire email is typed in. I registered my Apple ID on the Apple website and I registered it with iTunes, but it still won't let me sign into Mail or Facetime. I have a Gmail account as my Apple ID.
Is creating an Apple ID on the website different than registering it with iTunes or maybe I did something wrong? Please make any appropriate suggestions.

Hello,
Might ask here...

Why can't I log into WiFI?

Why can't I log into WiFi with my Ipad Air all of a sudden?
WiFi is turned on.
Under settings ... it shows the network Im trying to log into ... and in the column to the right where it lists the various networks, it shows the network i want and a little wheel thingie spinning beside it ... but it just keeps spinning ... so it looks like my Ipad had found the network ok, but wont log in.
Any thoughts?
Under HTTP proxy ... ive got it set to auto ... is this correct?
Everything worked fine until today so maybe Ive altered some setting without realizing it.

Try this:
1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again
2. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
3. Reset iPad; hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo

I found the answer that works for me. (This information was not on Apple's website for troubleshooting this problem.)
In Safari, (I use Firefox only) cookies must be enabled. I never knew there was a connection between iTunes and Safari until now.

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't I log into iChat

I am new to iChat.
When I log in, I get an AIM window. I don't understand why I get an AOL window when I am in iChat...it is very confusing. When I try to make myself available in my AIM window, it asks me to log into my mac.com account (my login ID is already put into that field). When I enter my password, it gives me an error message saying either my user name or password is incorrect. I tried entering it a number of times but it didn't work. So I went throught the process of resetting my password. Once it was reset, I tried to log in again but I keep getting the same error message. My questions are:
1. Why can't I log in?
2. Why, if I am using iChat, are all of these references to AOL?
3. In my Status command in the iChat menu, it shows I am available. Available for what? My AIM window is saying I am offline.
4. In the Accounts command in the iChat menu, it shows me as logged into Bonjour and then my email address twice. Right below that it gives me the option to log into my email address. Right above that it is telling me I am already logged in.
This is all so confusing. I use Skype and find it simple. I use a number of IM apps and find them simple. I can't figure out iChat.

Hi,
If you have Opened iChat for the First time then you will have filled in a Account/Screen Name.
This should have Logged in to the server.
If it didn't, you should have got a message about either the Name or the Password being "wrong"
This may leave you without the Buddy List showing.
In this case go to the iChat Menu (That's the one that drops down where the word iChat appears in the Menu bar)
Go to Preferences and chose Accounts.
Highlight the Screen Name on the left.
Now on the right make sure Account Info is the tab that is highlighted.
Tick/Select the box that says "Use this Account"
This should make th Buddy List at least start to appear. It will just be the header part and will say the word "Connecting..."
If this does not work, and you get another message about the Password or name then go to the Server Settings tab in the Accounts part of the Preferences.
Change the default port (5190) to 443.
Reselect Use this Account in the Account Info tab again.
Most routers have the ports from the beginning to port 1024 Open by default.
Web Browsing and mail Ports are this low.
( I am presuming you have looked and sorted the Mac Firewall)
If you now have Buddy List you have logged in.
You can now Add Buddies.
(this presumes you have sorted any issue with the Password being too long).
If you are now logged in you can Text chat as well even if you have no Buddies in the Buddy List.
You can use the File Menu > New Chat option if you at least know a AIM name or one that is a Valid AIM Login name.
The chances are though that you will not be able to File Transfer, Audio Only Chat or Video chat.
This is because at present we have only moved the Login port to lower than the threshold of blocked ports in your Router.
The other ports iChat uses will need to be Opened.
At this point it may pay to tell me the make and model of the Router so It Can suggest steps to take.
Also what do you know about setting up your routers for Games or applications that use Ports above 1024 ?
NOTES:-
Having an open Buddy List and using the red Button top left will close the Window but not Quit iChat
To get the Buddy List Back go to th Window Menu in iChat and either select your Screen Name (Or AIM Buddy List) or use the Key Strokes listed (Normally Apple/CMD ( or ⌘) and the 2 key together).
Using the red button on any Chat Window (Text, Group, Audio Only or Video Chat) will end the Chat and close the Window.

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.

Why can't i log into messenger or FaceTime in ios7?

After I updated to iOS 7 I haven't been able to log into my messenger or FaceTime it keeps saying that I need to connect or check my network connections even thou I know everything else works fine please help

I have exactly the same problem. Everything works on the iPhone but not on the ipad.
I have searched for fixes and a basic one says to log out of apple and turn off messenger and FaceTime but I don't have that option. When I look at the user guide it shows more options when setting it up than I have on my I pad.
If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.
Frustrated I like things to work even if I hardly use them.
Please help

HT4623 Why can't I log into iMessage?

I have the iPhone 4S, and for some reason it won't let me log into Imessaging or FaceTime because it either says I'm not connected (when I am connected to wifi) or it will say that it is still activating, but I have had this phone for over 5 months. My itunes is updated and everything. I'm so confused, does anyone know why this is happening?

I have an old iPod Touch with old software that can no longer be updated:
iOS version 6.1.6
I've been searching for a solution to my iMessage login problem for months and tried everything from those frustrating links and all the tips from other users.
Here is what finally worked:
1) Settings > Privacy > Location Services > On
2) Settings > General > Date & Time > Set Automatically > On
3) Reboot device until Apple logo appears
4) Settings > Messages > Sign In
