Why does my FaceTime and iMessage stop working?

Can someone please explain to me why my iMessage and FaceTime on my iPhone 4S keep crashing and not working? Both will be working fine and then they just stop working, it's down for hours and some times days. Not only that but when both those stop working so does my Facebook notifications. Then when both decide they wanna work, magically so does Facebook. Meanwhile all my friends can still use theirs. This is not the first time this has happened and I've contacted apple about it multiple times and of course they were of no help ..I've already tried signing out of iMessage and FaceTime then logging back in, network reset, complete reset of the phone, using my apple id for both, and being on direct wifi. Nothing and I mean nothing works or fixes it. They just stop working on their own and go back to working on their own ..But this is seriously getting ridiculous and annoying! Also my iPhone is not jail broken and is updated to the latest firmware. Anybody who could help fix this problem I would greatly appreciate it and if anyone else is having this problem please let me know.

I've tried the hard reset multiple times and it never fixes my problem.

Need help fixing my 3 Gen IPAD, FACETIME and iMESSAGES stopped working for me. Help please... more info to follow.

FT and iMessages used to work for me, but when I try to sign into them, it kicks me back to the sign in screen 9 out of ten times saying..."You were signed out of FaceTime because your AppleID or password changed. Sign in to turn on FaceTime.
When it DOES eventually let me through, either via restart/reset it tries to verify my email... fails... then says it sent an e-mail to my account, which never arrives. I tried resetting my security questions and I do get e-mails when I go that route. Still no fix.
My account still works via the app store/itunes/apple webpage, etc.
I've tried calling support and they seemed stumped. Trying re-syncing, hard reset...resetting all my settings, I have time auto-synced... still no remedy. Please help. Bought this specifically for Facetime and now I can't even get that to work.

OK, the fix was frustratingly easy.
My Apple ID is an old @mac.com address which is non functioning. This email address was also sitting in "alternate email addresses" within my Apple ID settings page. I deleted it and FaceTime and iMessage now work.
I went to www.appleid.apple.com and logged in using my normal Apple ID credentials. I then made sure that ANY alternate email addresses listed under the Apple ID were in fact verifed. Sitting happily in there under "Alternate Email Address" was the @mac.com which was the non-functioning email address. I deleted and it's all now working. I also deleted some other alternate email addresses that were sitting in there.
The only other suggestion from Apple was to create a separate Apple ID specifically for the FaceTime / iMessage functionality.
They said the conflict probably arose from the fact that the Apple ID was associated with an alternate email address which could NOT be verified.
I have to hand it to the Senior Tech Analysist from Apple in Brisbane. Very helpful, very friendly and their follow-through and ownership of my problem were very good.

Since upgrading TO iOS 8.3 FaceTime and iMessages stop working at me iPhone 4s.

Facetime and iMessages are working no my iPad with my email direction but not recognizing my celular number, my iPhone. What can I do TO make ig work?

I had this issue with my iPhone5 on Verizon. I just finished a call with Apple, here were the steps we took to correct the issue;
Connected phone to computer, opened iTunes
clicked on the phone icon in iTunes and selected Summary tab
selected Restore iPhone
When asked, selected set up as new, not from a backup. During this process iTunes found and downloaded new carrier settings
When this restore completed I had cell signal
then restored from a backup

Facetime and Imessage stopped working

Hi guys,
Sorry to bombard you with another Imessage/Facetime problem. So bascially a few nights ago, both these functions stopped working. I have tried all that is to be done from the other threads but still no luck. However my account that is also linked with my phone is working fine, it only appears to be my Ipad that isnt working. Any tips on how to fix this problem?
Thanks heaps!

OK so I just played around with it and realised that my Wifi was the problem. I hotspotted my iPad and the facetime and imessage came back instantly. So now this poses a new question, my wifi connection bar says its connected, and yes it is, working fine for normal browsing, youtube etc... However when it comes to my iMessage and Facetime, it doesnt connect.
So is there a way for me to to fix this?
Regards

Why does my Adobe Reader DC stop working when I click scroll down options?

I used to use PDF Suite 2014 Standard to view pdf files.
However, tonight a message appeared when I attempted to open files saying ..."if the document does not load then the pdf viewer may not be able to display this type of document"
I went to the website provided to download Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.
Although I was able to load pdf documents and fill in forms, the program repeatedly would crash whenever I attempted to click on scroll down options on forms.
Any help is appreciated
....and talk/write slowly for I am not super computer literate.

Dear Aedesh, Thank you for your assistance. I did all that you instructed below, regarding uninstalling, and using the Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool. I restarted my computer, then installed Adobe Acrobat Reader DC (for Windows 7, English and version: Reader DC 2015). I continue to have the problems: (1) When I attempt to use a scroll down option within a pdf form, the program stops working. (2) If I send the pdf to my iPhone, and I open the pdf, I receive the message "Please wait...if the message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your pdf viewer may not be able to display this type of document..." However, when I send pdf's created earlier than 4-28-15, I am able to open in my iPhone.I am able to open on my laptop the pdf's created after 4-28-15, but have the scroll option issue (thank you in advance for your patience)Luisa

IOS 6 disaster. Facetime and imessage not working. sync problems

Hi all.
I just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced so many bugs with iOS6?
Upgraded to an ipad 3 32GB wifi . Gave my dad ipad 2(restored and logged in with his apple id).
All was well. Then iOS 6 came along
I am able to log into my apple id but everytime i try to sign into facetime it says username or password is incorrect.
it worked a couple times but then stopped working again.
I am positive the password is correct.
I reset the password and am using the new one.
It is correct.
Restored the ipad.
worked for a while.. then the same thing
now i can't sync, Am getting an error message . Currently restoring the ipad again.
I am able to purchase items on itunes still on my desktop and my apple id seems to be working otherwise.
Facetime and imessage is not
please help?
anyone else experienced similiar issues with iOS6 ?
It should be mentioned that i couldn't purchase items directly from my ipad with the appstore for a period of time but it worked when i purchased through itunes on my desktop
Are these bugs associated with iOS6?
Again any help will be greatly appreciated
Cheers

I have the exact same problem!! it's been driving me crazy!! I have iPhone 4 but my iMessage works fine however.
Just the FaceTime doesn't work at all, my phone number is registered ,
just when I try to add my email (apple ID) to make the facetime works & activate .. I write down my email & password correctly , it says password is incorrect! =(((
I changed my password, I tried resetting the settings and turning on & off the phone and all. Nothing Works!!
this is one of MANY bugs I have after I updated (& made the most terrible mistake of my life) to iOS 6 !!
Apps are crashing & force closing including their new app store. Youtube application is vey slow. Maps aren't accurate not even half the quality of google maps. Screen freezes sometimes =((
I'm very disaapointed at Apple seriously!! this could be their one mistake that will drop down their whole legendary iPhone into the sewer!

FaceTime and imessage not working in South Africa

Help! I'm in South Africa for a month and my iMessage and FaceTime aren't working. When I try to imessage someone, the message says "turn off airplane mode or use wifi to send and receive messages" but i have full wifi strength. When I try to FaceTime, it says to check the number, it might not be complete. I've tried calling the number as usual, then the international number to ca from South Africa to the US.
I have an iPhone 5s, My email is working fine. My phone is on airplane mode but I have full wifi strength. My date and time is set automatically to Cape Town. Please someone help me figure out why this isn't working! I can't find any other solutions on the internet. Thank you!
