Facetime activation

just to let you know: mine is an email address - still does not work. Turning on and off wifi doesn't help either.

The only way that I have been able to get this to work was setting up a new ID in Facetime using another one of my email addresses. I am still able use my prior Apple ID to purchase iTunes content as I did before so I'm going to continue utilizing this as a temporary workaround until Apple get's this fixed.

Yes, my apple Id is my email address.

Same for me. Changing my AppleID to include @isp.com fixed the "user name or password for xxx was incorrect.

This did work...

Try for a test changing your DNS to google's public DNS.
In the Wi-Fi networks section of settings just type them directly in the DNS textbox...

8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4

Here's how I fixed it:

I went to http://appleid.apple.com/ to try to change my username from <user> to <user>@<isp.com>.

It wouldn't allow me, because that username was already used(!!).

So I used the recover my account to recover the account with the username <user>@<isp.com>. I then changed it to <user>+bogus@<isp.com> along with it's email address.

I went back to my primary account and fixed everything there.

Now it works.

So, to summarize, it seems that FaceTime requires:
* A username of the form: <user>@<isp.com>
* A verified email address that is the same as your username.

What a pain in the butt.

Ciao!

I am having the exact same problem. Does anyone have a fix for this?

same problem for me

You guys need to do a COMPLETE restore, delete the back up.

As soon as the device is finished restoring, and shows up in itunes and the "restore from back up, or set up as new iPod) unplug the device.

Next go to settings then app store, make sure your correct Apple ID is showing as your log in, then go to settings,facetime and log into your Id/email you want to use for facetime.

That didn't work for me. Neither did hard resetting this thing. One user's suggestion (renaming your apple ID to the Email address you've used to associate your account with) DOES work. I tried it, and yes, I can now use FaceTime with my shiny new iPod touch. Now I need to find someone to use it with. No one I know has iPhone 4s or this new shiny thing yet.

You might find a solution at this thread.

Same problems as above. Would love to hit an Apple store to try the solution above, but don't have one 😟

OK, tried adding @isp.net again. I also had to edit my profile in iTunes (and on the ipad, and on the new touch). This time, it took my info with no problem. Still need to test an actual call.
