HT204380 Why does it say the other person is not available when they are. My kid can call me but I can't call them..

I have an iPad 4 and they have an iPod 5 th generation. We have a wifi in the house. Getting ready to go away and want to make sure it works..

If more than 1 device is using the same Apple ID this issue can happen using FaceTime.

  • Internet Connect..why does it say "The selected device is not available"..?

    Hi guys,
    Can you help? I am using BT Broadband in the UK via a wireless router. However, every time my computer wakes up from sleeping an Internet Connection window pops open and says "The selected communications device is not available. Please check your settings" or something to that effect.
    Why does it do this and how can I stop it? My airport works just fine and automatically connects to the broadband.....
    Thanks

  • Why does itunes say the entry point is not found

    why does itunes say it didn't install correctly and to reinstall?

    Greg, did the "Patchburn" really work for you?
    I had the same problem today. I have a smart playlist made up of: Kind>is>Protected AAC audio file. This smart play list allows me to keep track of music I've downloaded from the iTMS after inadvertently deleting the Purchased Music default playlist. Yes, I know a new “Purchased Music” playlist is created when you buy music again, but it doesn’t contain any of the songs you’ve already downloaded.
    When I went to burn this playlist (several hundred songs) to multiple audio CD format - I go the same result you got.
    "After asking to burn a play list it asks to insert CD, checks the media, checks the play list and then stops with the apple icon reappearing and NO error message."
    Apple tech support couldn’t help me - I found that out the hard way - after 1.5 hours on the phone. No, I haven't exceeded the 7 time burn limit either.
    I tried selecting all the songs in the smart playlist and creating a new [regular] playlist and tried to burn from that, but got the same result.
    Finally, I tried typing "Protected AAC audio file" from my main library in the search window, selected all the songs that resulted, created a new [regular] playlist from that selection and the burn was successful.
    It was a real pain and took almost 3 hours to figure out, but it worked. I'm going to try the "Patchburn" download talked about earlier, but don't know if that's the real problem.
    Yes, I have upgraded my SuperDrive, but iTunes recognizes it - Preferences>Advanced>Burning - if your drive shows up here then that's not the problem. Besides, I had the same problem when trying to burn to the original SuperDrive too.
    I think the problem may be deeper inside iTunes itself. Duh! Maybe something with Apple tightening their DRM scheme which may make us unwitting beta testers to see if they tightened the noose too tight or not. Just a guess.
    Any thoughts, anyone?

  • TS3367 I am currently in South Africa and have tried to FaceTime my family using my ipad to their ipad, however when I make the call, I can hear the ringing but after a while it says the other party is not available, but she is

    I am current in Sotheby's Africa and trying to FaceTime my daughter who also has the same ipad as me. My son in law also has the ipad. Despite using my daughters email, I cannot get through to her or my son in law. When I hit FaceTime I can hear the ringing tone, but after a while it comes up saying my daughter is not available, but she is sat by her ipad in the UK. I have checked everything is working so what can I do now to get through to her, especially for Xmas day.

    There are no carrier supported texting plans for Ipads.

  • Why does TM say the target drive is too small, when it's not?

    I have 100GB free on the firewire drive. The Mac HD, after excluding some folders and partitions, is 92GB. The TM backup starts and runs, but then the size of the backup progress bar keeps changing (reads, backing up 8GB of 8GB, then 8.1GB of 8.1GB, etc. It keeps growing...) Anyway, when it get to the end I get "TM quit unexpectedly because the size was too big" or some such nonsense. I have used this drive and set-up successfully many times, but now its acting up. Is there some 'rule' about having enough free space PLUS a certain amount of "extra?"
    Thanks!

    Yes, there is.
    TM adds about 20% to what it's going to back up for workspace it will need on the destination disk/partition. Usually, it won't even start backing-up if here isn't enough room.
    But your TM drive/partition should be 2-3 times the size of what it's backing-up, to allow for a reasonable "depth" of backups, so TM can keep copies of items you've deleted or changed (or that might have gotten corrupted) for a few weeks, at least.
    And if you have other data on that drive, it needs to be in a separate partition, as TM works best with it's own, exclusive space.
    There should be some better messages in your logs. Download the +Time Machine Buddy+ widget from: http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/timemachinebuddy.html. It shows the messages from your logs for one TM backup run at a time, in a small window. Copy and post the messages here (be sure to get them all, as sometimes they overflow the small window).

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Why does it say im using 3.8gb of mail when my mail is deleted?

    why does it say im using 3.8gb of mail when my mail is deleted< yes even the trash

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click the text on the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.
