iMessage won't accept my apple ID

I had issues with iMessage accepting my password, although my problem was not identical to yours. Try shutting down your iPad by holding the power and home buttons at the same time. When the slider appears, slid it to shut it down. Then, press the power button to restart it. After restarting my iPad, iMessage accepted my password. Hope this helps.

I have the same problem with iMessage and FaceTime, tells me to check my connection. Tried shutting down iPad and restarting, no change. Is it possible I need a separate ID for my iPad and iPhone? Just got the iPad Monday, if I can't figure it out guess I'll go to apple store this weekend.

No, you do not need seperate ID's for your iPad and iPhone. I'm running an iMac, MacBook Pro, iPhone, and an iPad utilizing the same Apple ID. This is just a guess, but are you sure that iMessage is toggled on in settings?

I wonder if your apple I D is working for other purchases ?

Apple ID works for everything but FaceTime and iMessage. When I go to iMessage in settings it asked me to enter ID and password. There is nothing to turn it on or off as there is on my phone

When you go to settings>messages> then there should be a slider switch that you turn messages on with ,then you are

asked for your apple ID.

I have the same problem. The screen with option to turn iMessage on or off is not there. It just keeps asking for itunes id and password. It is the same for Facetime. I also cannot set correct timezone.

Have you had any luck?

Well that was actually over a year ago so I honestly don't remember how I resolved the issue

I had this same issue and I discovered how to solve it.

This issue was not affecting my Macbook Pro, iMac or iPad Mini, but was affecting my iPhone.

I verified my password was correct on the other devices, but still ended up changing my password which ended up not making a difference.

I then discovered that maybe this was a security issue of some kind. I was able to find that it related to my clock on the phone. I had manual set my clock recently. I changed this back to "Set Automatically" under Setting>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically.

Hope this helps 🙂

Boom!!!
