Facetime Activation - An error occured during activation.

Does anybody else get this? My facetime worked perfectly fine before and all of a sudden I started to get this message. Ive tried logging in from a different facetime account and it tells me the same thing. It won't let me make a new account, it just takes me to a white screen. Any suggestions. Thanks and Happy Holidays.

FaceTime need be activated only once. You should not need to change the account info once FaceTime is working.

Restarting your iPod may eliminate the error message: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430

If not, see http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/facetime/

If nothing resolves the problem, take the iPod back to your retailer for service or replacement.

just ensure your DATE & TIME are correct and then the Facetime servers will accept your connection

My iPod won't allow me to change the date and time. It's stuck at 7pm and the date of dec. 31 1969...

If your date remains "stuck" after restarting or resetting:

see your Apple-Authoirzed Service Provider for help with your hardware.
