I updated to iOS 6.0.1 yesterday and my iMessage and Facetime worked fine. However, I logged out of my Apple account on iMessage, and Facetime, and they both quit working, when I tried to log into them again. I would put in my email adress and password, but they would be rejected. I changed my password, and tried again, but I was continually told the username or password are wrong. I tried resetting "All Settings" and "Network Settings" as well as rebooting my iPod, but nothing seems to happen.

Any suggestions?

A number of AppleInsider readers reported on Sunday that they could not send or receive iMessages from their iPhones and iPads, a problem that is becoming more common since the company's newest iOS 6 was released in September.

According to Apple's iCloud system status webpage, "some" users unable to use iMessage or place FaceTime calls, with the error coming less than two days after an issue appeared with iCloud storage upgrade payment transactions. Apple said service will return to normal "ASAP."

Sunday's downtime marks the fourth such outage in the past three months, with one incident in September and two in October (1, 2) affecting users of iMessage on both iOS and OS X clients. At the time, messages sent through Apple's proprietary service were pushed through as SMS texts.
