Clear substitute for facetime/skype in UAE

Hey I've been trying to get facetime/skype to work for quite a while now.. Facetime doesn't let me sign in (replacing DNS with 8.8.8.8 doesn't work either).
Skype has really poor video quality and lags. Any substitute that would work on both an iphone and an ipad? My main concern is video call quality.

Like most things in life, more than likely has to do with money...they don't want their users making "free" calls.
But, ask the King to get the official answer,

  • Hi My grandparents just bought an iPod Touch for me from Dubai, UAE. I can't see any facetime on the home screen nor in the settings. I've read that it's not possible. But is it possible if I get my OS updated again from India?

    There is no way you can activate Facetime on an iPod touch purchased in the UAE. The government there required Apple to lock off Facetime at the hardware level and there's no way to unlock it. Reinstalling iOS, regardless of country, will not help. If you want Facetime, you will need to sell your UAE-version iPod and buy one there in India.

  • TS4185 i am using the same apple id for facetime in my iphone and mac. now, only my iphone can receive and make facetime calls. why can't facetime calls in my mac get through?

    i am using one apple id for facetime in my iphone and mac. my phone is able to receive and make calls while my mac is not able to do both. what is the problem.

    thanks.  your answer was correct, clearer.  I have another question, maybe you can answer.  I just purchase my ipad2 2 days ago.  yesterday, there was a sound.  today there is no sound.  there is a sound only in movies and you tube and music.  but no sound on all apps and keyboards.  I look it up and seems like ther are few that have this problem.  I called walmart coz I bought it there and they told me that they have not heard that before but if I can't fix it, just return it and exchange it with anew one since I have 14 days to do that.  I tried rebooting it and still won't work.  Should I just restore it?

  • Unable to use my apple id for facetime and imessage.

    I recently changed my apple id so that I was not sharing the same id with my son.  Now I cannot use my apple id for facetime or imessage.  I can use my son's id, but not mine. (So no network errors, just an id problem.) 
    I am using the latest software - iOS version 8.02
    My time and date are correct.
    The error message I see is that my user name or password is incorrect, but I am 100% sure that I have entered it correct.  Same id/pw works for icloud, itunes, etc. 
    Same problems exists for iPad 3 as for iPhone 5.
    Is there some way I can reset my facetime/imessage settings and clear out any old data that might be stored somewhere (hopefully not wiping out the whole phone/ipad?) 
    Thanks!

  • Somebody uses my apple id for facetime on his iphone how can i remove his phone from my account?

    somebody uses my apple id for facetime on his iphone how can i remove his phone from my account?

    Last Spring I received a couple of emails to an alias I set up a long time ago under mac mail with mac.com - not my main ID - at mac.com.   The mail had the Icloud extension.     I just deleted it.
    I then received a couple of e-mails forwarded to the same alias that came from a non-apple account that led me to search to see if the company was legit - it was.     Using a non-apple hidden account I sent that non-apple account an email informing them apparently when they registered the ID or alias as an ICLOUD extension - apple did not check for duplication in accounts or aliases that were not in the Icloud.
    I also sent feedback to Apple telling them to fix it and apparently they did - along with the person who replicated my alias.
    On this site there were a number of postings from people who also had problems with mac mail and Icloud who resolved it by contacting Apple and getting the accounts cleared up.

  • 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...

  • Keyboard with large bright characters could be cheap substitute for backlit keyboard

    A non-backlit keyboard with large, high-contrast characters could be a cheap substitute for a backlit keyboard. Most Chromebooks have tiny characters with less than maximum contrast. It would cost no more to give them legible keyboards that could be used in poor light. The first image shows a Chromebook keyboard (not an Acer) compared with the same with large-letter stickers applied. After I applied the stickers, I could type 40% faster in good light and twice as fast in poor light. (Note: I have average vision.)                        Next is the Acer C720 Chromebook keyboard. It has better contrast and slightly larger characters than most of the new inexpensive Chromebooks, but it's still difficult to type on in poor light.             A keyboard made with the design below would be clear enough to be used in a dark room by the light from the screen.   

    That's a REALLY good reason, bigbear.  I get it, and thanks for explaining.  I certainly was not trying to imply that there is some kind of 'issue' with adding a more visible keyboard.  It is certainly NOT a violation of anything to plug in an external keyboard.  That is probably the best solution that you have available at this time.  But if you are suggesting replacing the internal keyboard on your laptop with a 3rd party keyboard, that could become a problem.  First, as you described, it is not a task for the faint of heart.  You'd have to find a keyboard that FITS in your laptop, and they are certainly not all the same.  And as you also describe, the disassembly and reassembly process for a laptop can be quite complex.  If you cause damage in the process, that would NOT be covered by your warranty.  We call that 'Customer Induced Damage' and it just isn't covered.  It's an 'at your own risk' situation.  Adding stickers to the key caps is also not a problem for your warranty, unless of course the attempted removal of the stickers causes you to pop some of the keys off and you can't get them re-attached.  That again is considered CID.
    Having said all that, as I indicated earlier in this thread, the idea for bigger, better marked key labels has been submitted to our design team for consideration.  MY vision certainly isn't perfect either, so I do understand where you are coming from.  Thanks for raising the issue again.

  • What are bandwidth requirements for FaceTime?

    I can't get FaceTime to work. A 'Ping' check tells me that I've got 20Mb download and 1 Mb upload. Is this enough ?  What are bandwidth requirements for FaceTime?  If I've theoretically got a fast enough connection, then where is the restriction of bandwidth occurring?   How can I find out whether the problem is inside my computer, or on the net?

    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select

  • Substitute for filters in SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards

    Dear all,
    I am working on a dashboard application built on SAP Business Objects Dashboards 4.1.
    When I deployed the application to an iPad, I realized that the filters present in the application are not supported by iPad.
    Thus, is there any mobile-compatible component in SAP BO Dashboards which I can use in place of filrters for filtering the result during runtime?
    Any help is highly appreciated.
    Thanks And Regards,
    Nalin Dwivedi

    In combo box, all I can do is select some values from one or more rows or cells in the excel and paste it to some other destination within excel. But my whole dashboard is query-based i.e. I have created query and my charts are getting the data directly from database during runtime. Thus, the query prompt selectors I have used are directly manipulating the data coming from the database.
    Since query prompt selector are not supported in mobile mode, I need a substitute for it.
    Combo box is not able to help till now because the values of combo box can not manipulate the data coming from database. Moreover, I am not sure if I have used the combo box properly.
    If there is any way by which it can be done with using mobile-compatible components, then please suggest me about it.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Nalin

  • Can I use an IP camera for FaceTime on my Mac mini?

    I have a Mac mini running Mountain Lion and I would like to know if it is possible to use the streaming video from a wireless IP camera as the video source for FaceTime (and other video apps). If so, how?
    Thanks!

    HI,
    My mistake.  I saw the Mac Mini spec and presumed you were looking for any camera and had come across Wireless IP ones.
    I know of one BlueTooth one (just to keep a spin on it ).
    I have heard good things about this one - but mainly from 2 years or so ago when it was new.
    Actually Wireless IP ones I know next to nothing about.
    One of the main issues with iChat 2 through 4 is that the Video that iChat accepts is limited to DV from the External Firewire cameras that were about  or certain USB Cameras that produce output that works with the Utility from Ecamm or the Apple Framework item that was introduced later in OS X 10.4 for the USB 2.0/UVC compliant cameras.
    By Snow Leopard and iChat 5 most computers do have USB 2.0 ports and all but two of the Mac range have Internal Cameras that are in fact USB 2.0.UVC Compliant.
    On the other side as it were, are Camcorders also move to USB 2.0 over Firewire.
    However in many cases the output is not DV and none are UVC compliant.
    The video signals from these cannot be "translated by either the iUSBCam Ecamm utility or the internal Driver from Apple.
    So the main issue will be the format of the Video output from the camera for iChat or Messages.
    Other apps, particularly Quicktime, are going to have less of a problem as Quicktime can handle many more formats.

  • Separate GR/IR clearing account for non material

    HI,
    In the business, already an account is being used as GR/IR clearing account (WRX) for non material receipts (Non material means there is no material code exists in the system but at the time of PO a description is updated manually).
    There are in all two plants and at present all the non material values are getting posted to the same GI/IR clearing account. The requirement is to have a separate GR/IR clearing account for both the plants.
    Please note that its related to non material only and there is no material code hence no valuation class can be defaulted. Also if valuation class is kept "blank", the system allows only one entry of account.
    Please let me know if any exist is available on this.
    Best Regards

    Hi
    It can be done by defining different valuation grouping code for both the plants in OMWD. Then for the respective valuation grouping codes you can maintain different GL accounts in OBYC
    Thank You,
