I've been trying to set Facetime up on my iPad 2 running iOS9. I get as far as logging in and iOS says I have to use a verified email address - which I am and have been since I bought the iPad back when it was new. can someone tell me what I've been doing wrong here.
Just asking, is it an email address where you can both send and receive emails? The app may be asking the mail server if you are a verified sender.
Yes it is, I use this address for general emails - should I be using an address that is not in general use?
No, you should use an address that is in use. Is it a widely used service like gmail that will confirm your validity, not maybe some private server?
Have you reviewed all the items here If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime - Apple Support?
Thanks Diana, this tip finally solved my issue - changing from my general Yahoo address to my iCloud address helped too.
