I have bought in October an iPod Touch 4G and activated FaceTime on it. One week ago I bought an iPhone 4 and synchronized my iPhone with a Backup of my iPod Touch. Now I want to use FaceTime also on my iPhone, but if I activate it in Settings -> Phone nothing happens and if I reopen the settings the option is deactivated again. I get no error message or anything else.
I don't want delete all Settings or can I restore it later?
(1) I do not have an iPhone, so I do not understand how you could put a backup of an iPod on your iPhone. You may need to reset your phone and try again:

  • My iPad air does not have an lock on/off toggle for the smart cover ipad cases.

    Last week I received my new at&t 64gb iPad air. (This is my 3rd iPad. 2nd that, I assume, can use a smart cover style ipad case.) Although I have not purchased a new cover for it yet. I could not help but notice that in the Settings/general there is no "Lock" on/off toggle for the magnetic cover as ther is on my iPad3. does  anyone know if there is supposed to be one on the ipad air or did apple do away with the toggle altogether?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Settings > General > Lock/Unlock shoud still appear.
    You must be running iOS 7 (which you presumably are doing on an iPad Air).  And you should be using a Smart Cover or Smart Case made by Apple.  Third party covers/cases may well not function.

  • I REALLY need an on/off toggle for the delete video feature. Any Ideas?

    My son has Autism and uses an ipod touch and proloquo2go (AAC communication software) to communicate since he is functionally non-verbal.
    He also has music and videos for entertainment on the ipod. I've been fighting for a year now that he keeps deleting all of his movies and then get's mad that they aren't there. I don't always have the option to resync so this can be very stressful at times. Life in general is stressful on a daily basis with his disorder :-(
    A simple on/off toggle in the settings box for the feature similar to the app deletion toggle would relieve sooooo much stress here but alas, it does not exist.
    For a year now I have been searching for a solution with no luck. I have seen quite a few people with the same problem come up empty as well.
    So, is there any way to make this happen?
    Even an alternative video app with a toggle to disable this feature would work. I've tried quite a few but they all work the same as the stock video player with no video protection.
    I would NOT AT ALL mind paying for such an app or feature if it is, or will be available. I believe there is a market for it as i know of many disabled kids in our global special needs community that use a ipod/ipad as a communication device.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated,
    Sincerely,
    -Michael Sullivan

    Thanks for taking the time to respond. I sent a request to Apple, hopefully they will pitty me and/or maybe others have taken the time to ask the question as well.
    It seems like such a simple thing but it would make such a huge difference for me every day.

  • How can I connect my iPhone and my iPad for FaceTime

    Every time I try to send iMessages it says not delivered.

    FaceTime and Messages have their own set of settings which should be set up similarly. To send and receive iMessages and FaceTime calls on the iPad you have to setup an Apple ID.  If both devices are using the same Apple ID iMessages should sync up and you can send yourself a message but it will appear duplicated on both devices. FaceTime will require each device to be set to it's own number or email address if you want to make calls between your devices.

  • The FaceTime app on my iPod touch refuses to go any further than the email verification part of the setup process. It just goes back to the sign in screen every time. How can I fix this?

    My built in FaceTime app on my iPod touch will not proceed from the email verification step of the setup process. I have tried going into settings like app support showed but when I click FaceTime it just shows the sign in screen just like before and does the same thing. Please help me to fix this.

  • Imessage/facetime signout and now won't get past the "What phone number/email would you like to use screen" It just returns me to the sign in screen

    I got home from college today and my imessage and facetime are both not working and are promting me to sign in again, however after sign in is complete and I click the next button after selecting my phone number and email it just returns me back to the sign in screen? It has been working for months and has just started this now. I've tried restarting and changing my DNS, hopping on another WiFi etc and can't seem to fix it.

  • How can I use my TV as a display for FaceTime and the camera of my MacBook when connecting it to the TV via HDMI?

    I can connect my MacBook to my TV via HDMI and when I FaceTime everything works normally except I would like the display for the MacBook to be turned off so I can see video only on my TV. Closing the lid is not an option since I am using the MacBook's camera to FaceTime. Is there any way to achieve this?

    Not that I could find.
    The easiest workaround that I could find is a trimmed piece of Black Construction Paper taped over the Mac's display.
    Alternatively, you could use an external Mac Compatible Web Cameras and then close the lid, but that is a higher cost option.

  • Can I use the 3g on my iPad2 for Facetime?

  • Why my apps can't be disable on USE CELLULAR DATA FOR under Cellular settings

    I came across an issue that my apps tend to stay on ( enable ) even when I disabled it manually, it will turn back on soon after, this can cause certain people data overage and extra data cost they did not expect. I always check my settings daily because I play with my phone numerous times a day so I noticed any changes or differences. So after I had done probably most people have tried, reset/restart the phone, check any latest OS updates, double check any settings, reset network settings, turn off and on data, turn on and off airplane mode, the conclusion is nothing. So I thought maybe i should try one app that I know kept turning back on when I disabled it, did the updates on the appstore, went back to the settings and I was able to turn on and off, tried the second app just to make sure my  assumption works, updated the newest version on appstore, it works. So I decided to update all of the apps, then the problem is FIXED ! I hope this solve people's issue. Now I am able to manually disable and enable any app under USE CELLULAR DATA FOR,It was lucky guess for me and it work.

    Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Appel logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting.
    If this does not work, did you try to switch off Cellular Data, restart the phone and switch it back on again?

  • Can you activate a lost or stolen phone

    can you activate a lost or stolen phone.
    I found a iphone in a wallmart parking lot and its for sprint i would love to activate it.
    i have already restored it to factory settings i just want to know how to activate it with my phone #.

    Grenze, I hope if and when I loose my phone you are the person who finds it and not Jennifer.  That way I have a chance of getting it back.  I hop one day Jennifer buys a phone and looses it.

  • Iphone as webcam for FaceTime on mac-mini

    i have an iphone and a mac mini. I use facetime on the iphone and have also used my iphone as a webcam for my mini for skype and other applications but failed with facetime. I know that i could use facetime directly from the iphone but when i am at home i prefer to use the larger monitor conected to my mac-mini instead of holding the iphone in  my hands. i dont want to buy another webcam. I expect that apple should at least make their own devices compatible in all these possible ways.
    Does anyone know an app or way i can use my iphone camera as a cam for facetime!!

    Before you spend more money (and time) on 3rd-party apps - which could cause you trouble with the next OS X update as much as they interfere with the system - you may want to consider putting your $$$ into an external, Mac-compatible webcam from a well-supported brand (drivers!) and have peace.
    BTW, if you don't want to run FaceTime off your iPhone because you don't want to hold it, how would you use it's camera only without holding it? If you have a solution for it, it would also apply for FaceTime via iPhone, obviously...
