Cannot get FaceTime to work on my mini. Gives network error. But all other devices work .

I Cannot get FaceTime to work on my mini. It gives me a network error. But all my other devices work fine.

Quite a few people have posted about having issues with Facetime and iMessages over the past few weeks. The update to iOS 8.1.3 was supposed to address those issues and you could try updating your iPad. But the fix didn't work for everybody.
IF you are getting the message about checking your network connection, start with these very basic troubleshooting steps.
Check Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure that the time zone setting is also set correctly.
If that didn't solve the problem, restart your iPad and try again. If that fails, reset your iPad and try again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • New internet provider, Apple devices can't download updates/apps but all other devices work fine! help

    Hi there
    I have changed to a new internet provider, and they configured my router (which was working fine previously with my Apple devices)
    It is a D-Link router, and it is connected to the internet via PPPOE. (previous provider did not have this PPPOE configuration)
    The technician did the configuration and the Wifi works fine for all my devices including laptops, and friends who use Android.
    My Iphone, Ipad, and my friends' ones are the only things that seem not to work correctly.
    They can find the network on the router. It then connects for a short time, then either after a few mins of browsing on Safari, or any attempt to download an App or update an App, it fails.
    To summarise - All non-apple devices function fine and connect to router. Apple Iphones and Ipads find and connect to Wifi, but the internet works temporarily on browser, and any App update or download will fail. (Wi-fi remains connected)
    I am hoping it is a simple router configuration issue and the installation technician missed something. Has anyone ever come across this?
    what I have tried - Rebooting router, restarting Ipad, resetting network settings and other things, but I am almost certain it is a router configuration thing.
    Just hope someone can help, because I have called my internet provider and if they will charge for a call-out if they find it is not ''their fault'.
    Really really appreciate any answers to this one.

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at
    http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

    It has been saying this message for weeks so I don't think it's that iTunes is down...thank you though! I have 3 iPads, I phone, and iPod that I cannot connect to iTunes on and am beyond frustrated -ready to return items at this point...

    When try to connect my iPod touch 4th gen to my house Wifi it won't connect, it used to work fine but now it dosen't work, but it does say that the internet is available, but when I tap on it it just loads. all other devices work fine.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router

    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • TS1398 My I pad is 14 motnhs old and previously worked fine on my home wireless network.  All other devices work fine, but now, my I pads capability (range) is greatly reduced.  Is there anything to check on the ipad for WIFI antenna strength?

    My Ipad is 14 months old and previoulsy worked fine on my home wi fi network.  Recently the range is diminished but all other devices (ipods, ps) are working just fine.  Is there anything to check functionality of the wi fi antenna?  Has anyone has similar problems?  Unfortunately, the warranty expired 2 months ago.

  • ICloud keeps asking for password but will not take it. All other devices work but not my IMac???

    ICloud keeps asking for password but will not take it. All other devices work but not my IMac???

    Exactly which password are you inputting? iCloud looks for your AppleID password.

  • IMac cannot connect to internet, but all other devices can?

    Ok So I have an iMac, two iphones, and a mac book air in the house.  The mac book and iphones can connect to my chinese tp-link router, and connect to the internet wirelessly just fine.  The iMac however, everytime I tried to connect to the internet via the Wi-Fi signal through the tp-link router, the wifi signal on the very top right hand corner of the screen has an exclamation mark on the wifi bar, and it says Alert: No Internet Connection.  The ethernet works fine connected directly to the iMac, and I can access internet via ethernet wire setting, but not wifi-setting from my tp-link router.
    What I've narrowed it down to:
    It is not the problem with the router, because it is configured so that every device I've tried, except for the iMac works with the router.
    It is not the problem with my internet connect, because all other devices works, except for iMac.
    It is not the problem with my internet card on the iMac, because I was able to connect with an airport extreme about two weeks ago via wirelessly.
    It is not the hardware problem, like I said, ethernet socket, internet card, they all work.
    It has nothing to do with the software update, the software is up to date, running on Mac OS X, Version 10.7.2 lion.
    It has to be a software issue, something to do with the configuration of the network.
    I've already looked everywhere on the apple discussions, I found similar problems, but they were either unresolved, or unrelated to my problem.  So what did I mess up on?
    Best
    Brian

    Hi everyone
    I have the exact same problem! My imac, operating with 10.7.2 will not connect and has the ! over wifi icon. (sadly connecting the ethernet cable and disconnecting again didn't work for me).
    My MacBook is running with os 10.6.8 and works with the router although now I can't update the operating system or I'll have the same probs with Macbook!
    So, I've spent most of this week back and forth with apple support, TP-Link and ISP. (all firmware for router completely updated) and nothing's worked.
    I have been told by an apple senior technician that the TP-LINK router is not compatible with computers operating with os10.7.2 and I need a different router.
    Just thought I should let everyone know to save you wasting loads of money on phone calls like I just did!
    take care

  • I have a 4th generation iPod touch which was working perfectly until I downloaded ios5 and now it won't connect to my wi-fi - all other devices working correctly. Where can I download ios 4.3.5 from?

    I have a 4th generation iPod touch which was working perfectly until I downloaded ios5 and now it won't connect to my wi-fi - all other devices working correctly. My pc didn't create a backup before updating software so I can't revert back to ios 4.3.5 from there, where can I download ios 4.3.5 from?

    I tried just about everything and finally brought my Ipod touch to the apple store.  The tech installed ios 4.3.5 but still no WIFI.  He recommended a $149 exchange - not really a bad deal with a new battery and 90 day warranty, but I thought I'd try again.
    The "solution" was bizarre.  On YouTube was a fix involving taking the motherboard out and heating the wifi components with a heat gun.
    I did not like that idea, but another involved turning it off, putting it in the freezer for five minutes and restarting.  It worked!  I must admit the fix does not work reliably, so I may still go for the exchange.  Still, I am now convinced that it is a hardware problem.    i remember back in the old days, TV repairmen sprayed a suspected bad resistor with Freon.  The chilled component would work long enough to identify what needed replacement.  Perhaps something similar is happening here.
    For anyone wanting to try this, I found it more convenient to place the back of my ipod on a  frozen cold pack until the wifi is restored.  It seems to happen when condensation forms on the face.  I used a towel to wipe off the moisture so as not to add to the problem.

  • Wifi connection unreliable only on my HP 23-h020a, all other devices work fine

    We have just bought two brand new HP devices but are having major problems with the pavilion 23-020a. Basically the wifi connection is rubbish! All other devices in the house work fine and the PC itself is only a couple of meters from the modem and showing full connectivity. However we cannot reliably get internet connection when using wifi. Sometimes it's fine for a couple of minutes, some pages load, some don't, if my kids are in the middle if doing their home work when it comes to them moving on to the next page to do their online test, the page won't load and all their work is lost. This is totally unacceptable! If we connect using the Ethernet cable it's fine but to do that we have to have two meters of cable running across our sitting room. I need this resolved! We have tried all available wifi channels and nothing has helped. I hope someone here can! Thanks

  • IPhone 6 and 6 plus jumping on and off wifi.. All other devices working properly

    I recently purchased the iPhone 6 and iphone 6 plus and now having wifi issues. Sometimes they will stay connected for a couple of hours other times it will jump on and off 10 times on in a couple of minutes.Also note that I have a iPad mini,5c,4s,and all are staying connected properly. I called my internet provider and everything checked out ok. I also connected Apple and went through all the settings and checked out ok. They suggested a new router... not sure that would be it since all other devices are working fine. Any help would be appreciated!!!!

    Hi,
    I use CS 5.5 Production Premium for quite some time now.
    Today I tried to start Audition for the first time.
    It gives me a choice to continue to use as a trial or provide the serial number.
    When I enter my regular CS 5.5 s/n, it says "the serial number is not valid for this product".
    All other products work.
    What do I have to do to make Audition start?
