Everytime I try and load iPhot it crashes and the same error message comes up and I send it to Apple. I haven't been able to get into iPhoto for most of November and the patches Apple have issued don't help. Any ideas?
The usual ones, delete your preferences, repair permissions and try to start it up with a new library. Temporarily rename your current library so that iPhoto will create a new one on startup.

As the subject line. When I try to activate either iMessage or FaceTime I get this error message "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again." Funny thing Safari works just fine with my network connection. The device in question is an iPhone4. iOS 7.06

When trying to sign in to Face Time, I continually get "Face time Activation" "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again". I am able to access the internet via Safari, so my network connection seems to be working. What am I doing wrong, and how can I access Face Time?
Hey sklingen,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues signing into FAceTime. The following article may help to resolve your issue:

You may also want to reset your network settings:
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: this will delete any network related settings (saved Wi-Fi passwords, etc), it will not erase any content from your device.

Why am I receiving iMessage activation "could not sign in. Please check your network
connections and try again?
I am connected to the network.It's telling you that it can't reach the internet, either by wifi or 3G.

I am trying to activate iMessage. I receive a message that says "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again." I connection is strong. I can browse the internet but cannot connect to iMessages. I don't understand. Any ideas.
Turn iMessage off and then on again, wait a few minutes.
Turn Airplane mode on and then off again, turn iMessage off and then on again, wait a few minutes.
Make sure your iPad is on Wi-Fi, reboot your iPad, turn iMessage off and then on again, wait a few minutes.
Wait and try again later -- Apple's servers can get overwhelmed or experience outages just like anyone else's. -

When I try to sign into my iMessage account, it pops up 'could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again'. I've checked my connection and it works perfectly. What can I do?
You could try going into settings then messages and seeing if you have it turned on. You will need to use your apple ID then, hope that helps.

I got my new iPhone 5 Last Friday. However I can not activate facetime on the new iPhone 5. All other function work well.
I used my apple ID and always get the below message " Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again".
My network work well. I can access internet, apple store with no issue via wi-fi or AT&T 4G. No password issue as I can use the same apple ID register other access and apple store.
I noticed that many users are complaining the facetime after upgrading to iOS6. Not sure if this is the reason?
Any one here can help on this?
ThanksFacetime is accessed through Contacts or Messages. The only place you will find anything else in is Settings, where you would activate it. There is no stand alone app for Facetime like on the iPod or iPad.
