Verifying FaceTime and iMessage

Hello,


My ipad never verifies my email address on facetime or imessage, i have never used either of the apps.

Everytime i try to activate the account it starts with:

Enter apple id----- when i enter it, it goes to choosing the email address i want to use, when i have chosen that, it says verifying, and goes back to enter apple id.

Am i the only one with this problem? And how do i solve it?


Thanks already.

I have an old iPod Touch with old software that can no longer be updated:

iOS version 6.1.6


I've been searching for a solution to my iMessage login problem for months and tried everything from those frustrating links and all the tips from other users.


Here is what finally worked:


1) Settings > Privacy > Location Services > On

2) Settings > General > Date & Time > Set Automatically > On

3) Reboot device until Apple logo appears

4) Settings > Messages > Sign In
