You can't. FaceTime has been permanently removed from your phone, there is no way to add it back. Next time, buy your phone in India.
BTW: Your warranty & support will only be valid in the UAE.

I bought iphone4 from Dubai, but live in India. How can I activate FACETIME without Jailbreaking it ?

I bought iphone4 from Dubai, but live in India. How can I activate FACETIME without Jailbreaking it ?

I'm only guessing here since I don't use Facetime myself but I think it depends on the model number of the phone. iPhones sold by UAE operators have unique model numbers and these do not get the Facetime app installed at all. Even in India, if you update or do a clean reinstall, you still the UAE-branded OS.
Facetime is blocked because the voice and video goes over WiFi and this eats into the profits of the mobile operators. Most countries here in the Middle East block video and voice chatting over the Internet - not due to censorship - but because the government-owned operators here enjoy monopolies and want all video and voice to go over their networks for maximum revenue. I live in Oman where for example Skype is blocked simply because it is seen as a competitor to the government landline operator.

I have downloaded IOS7 on my iPhone and all calendar events have disappeared. The general functions of the calendar have changed and are definitely not 'user friendly'. How can I retrieve my calendar events. Will Apple improve the calendar function

I have downloaded IOS7 on my iPhone and all calendar events have disappeared. The general functions of the calendar have changed and are definitely not 'user friendly'. How can I retrieve my calendar events. Will Apple improve the calendar function or revert to the previous system. Even the typing function on IOS 7 is faulty - very slow to respond to the keyboard. I no longer enjoy using my iPhone. Can anyone assist. Thank you

Very strange! All of my calendar events have reappeared. This has happened one week after downloading iOS 7
The calendar however, is not easy to use.
The typing function on the phone has become even slower. Have to wait for each letter to show on screen.

Cloud accounts are multi-platform.
You have a maximum of two activations but can use them on Win/Win or Mac/Mac or Win/Mac. The choice is yours.

Hi
I have iPhone 4 ,FaceTime is not available in my iPhone ,

If the iphone was purchased in the Middle East, then it cannot be there as several Middle Eastern countries Governments do not allow it.
Where did you buy the iphone?

TS1702 I have a iPhone which I purchased first. I put my email address as my apple ID. I have just purchased an iPad and add my other email address as the apple ID by mistake and now the photos will not stream between each device. I have tried to change t

I have an iPhone which I added my email address as my apple ID. I have just purchased an iPad which I add my other email address by mistake and now I am unable to stream my photographs. I have tried to change my email on both devises but with out luck as it won't reconise my pass word. Any ideas

Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Tap the ID and sign out. Then sign in with your other ID.
If this isn't working, restart the iPad - AFTER you sign out of the ID and then sign in with the correct ID after the iPad restarts.
There is no reason why you should not be able to sign in with the ID that you are using on the iPhone and use that passord with that ID on the iPad.

TS3367 How can I activate facetime over cellular (at&t) on my new iPad?

I already downloaded and installed ios 6 to my new iPad. When I try to use facetime over my at&t plan, it says "activation required". Then I went to the at&t website, created at&t account, but I can not activate it. I tried to choose all account types to link them and activate, but it did not work. What should I do?

AT&T has made it such that Facetime over 3G requires a "combined" data plan, contact them for details.

Import the music into your iTunes library and sync like any other music.

I have my iPhone 5 and I have been trying to activate Facetime, but when I try to activate it, it says: Waiting for activation. I wait and then there's an error with the activation. How can I activate Facetime? I have put my cell number and my Apple ID

Please show me step by step how to activate Facetime.

I'm from Mexico City. According a table, Mexico is available for Facetime calls. Thanks for replying!

I have a 3GS which I purchased from the Apple Store in the UK (unlocked) without a contract. I now want to use it when on holiday in Australia. I have tried a Vodaphone sim but it doesn't work. Vodaphone in Aus say it should work as all sims the same.

The Vodaphone store in Australia says there is no difference between a sim for an iPhone to any other phone. But it still doesn't recognise the sim. Is it because sims in the UK are different for iPhones than android phones? It seems rather unfair that I can't use the phone that I purchased unlocked in the UK in another country. I also have a 4S which I was using to keep my UK sim in while in Australia. That was also purchased unlocked from the Apple Store. I haven't tried it but would it be any different?

If your phone is officially unlocked, it should work fine on any supported carrier's network. Are you getting any error messages when you insert the sim?

HT204380 i bought 2 ip5 from dubai, i'm living in TR, how can i activate FaceTime?

in may i've bought two iphone 5 from uae, i'm living in Turkey and ı want to activate my facetime on my iphone, is this possible.

YOu don't, since you bought the iphone in dubai there is no way for you to use or get facetime on your phone because it has been banned by the government.
Even if you move to Turkey, there is no way to get it.
Sell the iphones and then buy them in Turkey.

I have a 500gb running my computer and want to upgrade to a 1000gb how can i do this?

I would like to upgrade my 500 gb to a 1000gb HD which will run my apple Mac pro 2009 Tower.
Iam confident in changing HDs but wondering how to put all the operating software onto a new HD.
Many thanks,
Mac

The way the forums work, WE help solve and is reflected in points.
Glad we helped and hope maybe changed the direction you end up taking with your upgrades.
ce (SSD drive or hard drive) you are migrating to should be physically located in the same computer. Moving operating system files from one computer to another computer using software not specifically designed for that computer can cause issues due to software, hardware, and firmware version mismatches.
Always back up your storage device with Time Machine or Disk Utility before you start.

The old slower SATA II's bandwidth has gotten to be a choke point.
Having all your files on one drive is an even bigger limiting factor.
Isolating system from your media libraries and data, from any scratch drive, helps.
Moving some of those off to another bus, one of the PCIe slots, takes advantage of additional bandwidth available (and probably going to waste currently).
You may have noticed all the newest Macs and future Mac Pro. moving to PCIe SSDs and no longer using even SATA III. Anything you can do now in that regard will help. iPhoto, separate from "Pictures" folder on another high-speed device, or Aperture, and also Lightroom, as well as CS6 scratch space.
That also means you aren't limited to 4 SATA drives or devices, and you should be using those 4 already for system, data, backup, media files.
It does make a difference. It did with my 7 yr old Mac Pro 1,1. that and more RAM, retire older disk drives for newest models, and probably the last GPU mine can make use of , the ATI 5770 (replaced the Nvidia 8800GT that cost even more).

How can I synch my iTunes? If often says unknown error or problem with application?

I have problems synching my iPhones 4s with my MAcbook pro (10.8.2) and iTunes (11.0.1). I can connect my iphone 4s(6.0.1) directly to my macbook pro or via the same network. I can start the synch via itunes or my phone. 20% of the time it works. If often says unknown error or problem with application. The software is up to date. What can I try? Thank you

The iphone/ipod is NOT a storage/backup device. Not maintaining a backup copy is a big mistake.
You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone/ipod to your computer:
Authorize your computer for all accounts and then click File>Transfer Purchases

I changed my email address on one of my old APPLE accounts and want to merge my accounts together, how can I change my email address on my old Apple account?

I changed my email address on one of my old APPLE accounts and want to merge my accounts together so I can get all my songs!! My computer crashed and I'm tryng to change everything over to my mac via my ipod classic and just Transfer old files. It's ejecting my disc (ipod) so I figured I could just change my old Apple ID to be one with my new one.
how can I change my email address on my old Apple account?

There is no way to merge two Apple IDs as all purchases made with each account are always tied to those accounts.
All you can do to each account is change the email address for each one but they can't have the same email address.
