How to fix FaceTime or iMessage for iPad?

Answer 1

FaceTime and iMessage are two excellent services introduced by Apple in iOS makes a couple of versions. Naturally, being a service for communication between iOS devices, has not had the same impact as other instant messaging applications such as Whatsapp or Line. 

 

 

 

Otherwise, are two excellent options to keep in touch with friends via Internet (WiFi or 3G). Of course, while we can use iMessage with a halfway decent Internet connection, FaceTime requires a stable WiFi connection or 3G without disrupting the video call as smooth as possible.

 

 

Possible Solutions to repair problems FaceTime or iMessage on the iPad or iPad Mini 

 

With the advent of iOS 7 users have reported that some services iMessage or FaceTime does not work as well as before the update or simply are no longer functioning. So far Apple has not communicated anything officially, but we assume that if this is a widespread problem should not take long to publish a solution. 

 

Meanwhile, we leave a number of steps that could solve your problems with these two services, without having to resort to the "painful" restoring your device. 

 

Disable and re-enable iMessage and FaceTime 

 

Although it seems an obvious solution, often behind it can be found to your problems. 

 

1. So we headed to Settings - Posts and uncheck the box that says "iMessage".

 

 

2. Now we repeat the process but with Settings - FaceTime and unchecking the first box that says "FaceTime".

3.-After waiting a few minutes, we repeat the two previous steps but this time returning to activate both services. 

Hard reset the iPad or iPad Mini 

 

1.-Before starting the process, you must ensure that the device is connected to a WiFi network. 

 

2. Now we simultaneously press the Home button and the button to turn off our iPad. After a few seconds the apple logo appears on your screen and you can release them. 

 

3.-After reboot, check whether the touch iMessage and FaceTime services back to normal. 

 

As we have seen in iPadItalia, we also see that if we activated the device restrictions, these are not blocking both services. To check this we go to Settings - Restrictions and if there are any restrictions that may affect off.
