I am so frustrated!!! 😟 i've tried everything there is on this post, and tried everything possible for 4 hours!

i still can't log in to facetime; it just keeps sending me to the sign in screen!!!!! could anyone think of anything else??


P.S. i bought my ipod touch 5g in america and but i live in canada. could the change in time zones be affecting it? if so how do i fix it?

One thing I noticed with my iphone, is that when I dont have signal (no cell service), the imessage settings continually try to verify the phone number first as a receiver for the messaging. The email address is after that, but it never gets to it. Once I get into cell range, it clears up, verifies, and then I'm o.k. So ... ensure you have good cell signal, if you have the cell card, (ipad etc) ... after that, when I was out of cell range, the imessage worked o.k. on wireless with the email.


Can be very frustrating. Good luck to those with issues.
