Can't log on to iMessage and FaceTime????

Awesome advice. It worked!!! Yay! Thanks.

Thanks it worked, I've been trying for 3 hrs.......

Same here!

I changed the date and time on my iPad while I was on the plane coming back to DC from SF.

Who would have thought that would cause an error like that!?

I still can't go on face time even if I turn the time and date on automatic?

Thank you for the help. Worked like a charm

Reece try to do this both, I did and it worked. 🙂

Go to Settings -> General -> Date&Time -> Turn Automatically to "ON".

Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings

just change the dns to 8.8.8.8 it work to me :) the turn on auto didnt work

Oh my goodness been fighting this for last cuple of days and now it is fixed. Granted I had to look up and figure out how to change the DNS, actually find out what it was, but now it is working. You guys rock, guess I can cancel the genuis bar appointment tomorrow!!

Yeah! Thank you! Thank you! I've been tryin for days and although this makes no sense it works!

Thank you so much! It worked! I was going to see that because the time on my iTouch was 20 minutes before the real time. I saw your answer and... THANK YOU! 😁

Still no joy for me, either with facetime, iMessage or find my iPad. Any other ideas?

Well done mate! That's saved me hours of head banging! 🙂

Shot Jay!

I had the same problem. After days on the phone with Apple support it turns out that my AppleId is registered as confirmed on appleid.apple.com, but not on Apples internal systems (????). What is really odd is that Apple support have no way to request a re-confirmation.

To re-confirm my AppleId I did the following:

1. Changed my AppleId from myname@gmail.com to myname+test@gmail.com
2. Confirmed the new AppleId
3. Tested that the new id worked i iMessages
4. Changed my AppleId back to myname@gmail.com
5. Confirmed the AppleId again.
6. Changed my iMessage & Facetime AppleId back to myname@gmail.com
7. Now everything works as expected

The trick here is to take advantage of the fact that mail servers will ignore anyting between a + (plus) and a @ (i.e. the two mails are mail aliases), but Apple will treat it as new AppleIds.

Thank u very very much Jay 🙂

U saved me
