Why will my apple Id email not validate for FaceTime on both my iPhone 4S and my iPad 3rd gen

I am having issues getting my email to validate FaceTime so I can use it on my iPad. I can use FaceTime on my phone with the number but want to start using my iPad and it is frustrating me that it will not work.

Go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores.  Tap your Apple ID and sign out.
Go to the App Store and find a free app and try to download it.  Select use Existing Apple ID, then sign in with your credentials.
Make sure you pay close attention to capitals versus lowercase letters on the iOS keyboard.

    Hi StuNYC,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you're seeing an alert message when opening Mail on your iOS devices. Do you have multiple email accounts setup on the devices? Take a look at the article below, it provides suggestions that will resolve most issues that  cause an alert like that to appear in when starting the Mail app.

  • My Apple ID is not working for FaceTime or iMessage

    It seems other people are having the same issue with the new iOS 7, my Apple ID doesn't work for FaceTime or iMessage. Has anyone found a solution without resetting the iPad

    Hey Fabio-Luzmery,
    Thanks for the question. In my experience, the steps outlined in the "Unable to activate FaceTime or iMessage with phone number and Apple ID after waiting 24 hours (iPhone only)" section of the following article usually resolves this issue:
    iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4268
    Follow these steps if your phone number and Apple ID do not activate after waiting 24 hours.
    1. Back up your iPhone in iTunes.
    2. Disconnect the iPhone from iTunes.
    3. Turn FaceTime and iMessage off:
              - Settings > FaceTime
              - Settings > Messages
    4. Navigate to Settings > General > Reset and select "Erase all content and settings".
    5. In the iOS setup assistant, select "Set Up as New iPhone".
    6. Sign in to your Apple ID with FaceTime and iMessage. Go to:
              - Settings > FaceTime and tap "Use your Apple ID for FaceTime"
              - Settings > Messages and tap "Use your Apple ID with iMessage"
    7. Verify that FaceTime and iMessage activate successfully. It may take up to 24 hours to complete activation. When activation is successful, a check mark will be visible next to your phone number and email address in Settings > FaceTime and Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.
    8. Disable automatic syncing in iTunes.
              - For Mac OS X: Click the iTunes menu and choose Preferences. Click the Devices tab and select the option to "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically". Click OK.
              - For Windows: Click the Edit menu and choose Preferences. Click the Devices tab and select the option to "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically". Click OK.
    9. Connect the iPhone and restore from the backup. Do not perform a full restore.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Why is the Apple Store App not optimized for iPhone 5?

    You would think that the Apple Store app would be optimized for iPhone 5 4inch screen? Isn't this an APPLE PRODUCT.   Come on let's get an update!!

    You're not addressing Apple here, and any attempt to do so makes you look foolish. We're users here, just like you.

  • Why will my apple tv only access purchases made in itunes library? My Home Sharing is activated on both my TV and computer, but I continue to get message to activate Home Sharing. I am unable to transfer my movies downloaded in Itunes.

    Why will my Apple TV only accept purchases made in Itunes? I am unable to transfer movies and music that I have  downloaded in Itunes through my Apple TV to my TV. All movies are in an MP3 Ipad format.I have followed every troubleshooting suggestion with no luck. If my Apple TV will transfer purchased music, I must assume the Home Sharing is activate on both my computer and TV.

    Thank you. I meant streaming, not transfer. I have streamed movies through my Apple TV before and watched them on my TV. Now, the only content that will stream is what I purchased in the Itunes store. My Home Sharing is obviously activated or the streaming of purchased items would not work. Both my Itunes and Apple TV are fully updated. Where am I going wrong?

  • Why is my apple ID password not working on ipad2 after updating to iOS6?

    Why is my apple ID password not working after upgrading to iOS6?

    Who knows?
    Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Tap your ID and sign out. Reboot your iPad.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Go back to the settings and sign back in again and see of it works now.
    If it doesn't work, post back with some information that might help us help you. Describe what you are doing in some detail and it might let us better understand why this is happening.

    Why isnt my godaddy imap email not loading messages?

    I'm having the same issue, but slightly different - since upgrading to Mountain Lion the Inbox folder doesn't come across.  If I right-click on the account and select "Get Account Info", the 'Inbox' folder does not appear in the Mailbox list.  I've got a support email into GoDaddy but haven't heard from them yet.
    Hey - sorry - I just realized this is an iPhone discussion group.  Can't figure out how to delete this post.

  • New apple ID email not updating on laptop

    Hi,
    I changed my apple ID email on apple.com but my computer isn't recognizing the new email. When I go into the settings and hit "update apple ID email" it asks for my old email's password which doesn't work because it doesn't exist anymore. How can I fix this? I am unable to update anything on my computer because of this problem.
    Thanks!

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Why does my apple shuffle dock not read by my computer

    why does my apple shuffle dock not being read by my computer

    Are the connections on each end nice and snug?  Has this Shuffle ever previously worked with this PC or this the first time you have tried connecting it?
    It worked previously, can you think of anything on the PC that might have changed since the last time the Shuffle was able to successfully connect? Could be something such as an update to an application or the installation of some new software.
    Does the device charge when it is connected?  Do you get any status from the LED indicators when plugged in?  Does the Shuffle otherwise function as expected?
