Face Time crash

Hi there,
I wonder if someone can help me figure out why my Face Time crashes on my MacBook Pro (2012)? When I try to use the camera in other apps it is not found so could it be that the camera is defective?
Many thanks

Yes.
If restarting Mac does not fix the problem, try Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 suggestions.
Over time, Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD." Therefore, regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.

Face Time crashes on launch

Just bought a brand new iPod touch 4th generation last week and every time I try to launch Facetime, the screen blanks for a second then exits back out to the springboard. I've tried restarting and restoring it, but every time it still does the same thing. Do I need to set up something before launching it? Am I doing something wrong? Any advise would be appreciated.

Unless you have damaged it somehow, with all you have tried, I think the next step is to return it to the retailer for repair or replacement. If there is nothing wrong with it, they should be able to show you how to make it work.
Mac Pro Quad Core (Early 2009) 2.93Ghz Mac OS X (10.6.4); MacBook Pro (13 inch, Mid 2009) 2.26GHz (10.6.4)
LED Cinema Display; G4 PowerBook 1.67GHz (10.4.11); iBookSE 366MHz (10.3.9); External iSight; iPod touch 4.1

When i use face time it crashes

Whenever i start face time the screen goes fuzzy and then it reboots.Can someone help?

Not sure, but try this first - 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 - let go of the buttons.

Since the upgrade on io6 on my iPad 3 n iphone4 I'm not able to do any face time with my family in India from Uk using Wifi, they keep trying me from india but it says connection lost and when I try it rings but there is no ring on their end.

Since I updated both my apple products to Io6 I'm not able to do any face time over wifi with my family in india from the UK. My family in india had io5 in their iPad 2 and it was working perfectly fine until the io6 was installed . Can you please let me know if this is a common issue with io6. Thanks

1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now?

WHY IS FACE TIME FAILING?!

There seems to be a problem with face time, not only with Iphone but with Ipod as well, according to my friend who owns an ipod. Either the screen stays stuck in the previous end image of face time, or it just shows a black screen for you OR the other person you are face timing with. The Audio is available, long behold it is failing greatly after the last few updates. I have tried resetting my phone countless times, but in due time it begins to happen again. Also when the phone is help vertically the face time view on the screen appears horizontal, or vise-versa. please fix this problem or tell me how to fix it.
Sincerely
Ashlee Bedford

But, if you can't provide any details about your situation, no one will be able to help you.
Are you using FaceTime version 1.1.1? Does it open? Does it crash?

New iPhone 5s, cannot text or Face Time with my husband

My husband and I finally got iPhones (now that T-Mobile began offering them – we were able to hold out that long, unbelievable). Needless to say, this is a life changing acquisition.
The problem we just discovered with our days-old phones is that while I am able to text and receive messages from other people, and able to text my husband, he cannot text me – whether as a response to my text, or by starting a new conversation on his end. Sending a text to my phone (and yes, the number is correct) generates a "Delivery failed" alert. Even Siri coudn't pull it off.
Neither of us can Face Time the other, though we can make voice calls to one another. Selecting "Face Time" from my husband's contact page will generate a "Victoria is not available for Face Time," and vice versa.
Face Time, not a huge deal, though it ought to be available. Texting? That is important. And heck, these are brand new and everything should work!
I see from poking into various forums elsewhere that this is not totally uncommon. Does anyone in our community have an idea (other than marriage counseling)?
Thank you!

First, iMessage and Facetime need to be activated in Settings. Check this support document regarding troubleshooting the activation process http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4268
It also sounds as if you are both sharing the same Apple ID. If that is the case, that can cause a problem as well. These additional support documents might help.

Low volume on Face Time

There seems to be a change in the volume during a Face Time call. The person I call says that they can barely heare my voice. This started happening after having had a few calls that had good volume.
I have even tried the "Voice Memo" feature -- VU meter does not move. Can barely hear myself.
Thoughts -- suggestions.
BTW - I have sent the device back to Apple and they suggest that it is "Within Specs." Really???

You need to delete the firmware first to remove the (e).
Guess it must be a bit of flash somewhere that is set by (e) variant firmware, but is not cleared by non-(e) firmware.
See the 'Recovery Mode' sticky above for how to delete the firmware.

TS3367 I dont see facetime icon in my new ipad i bought in dubai n i stay in belgium n i use my iphone in face time n ibught it in dubai

I need to activate face time bt i cant see the icon i bought tha ipad in dubai n my iphone5 works well in facetime n i also purchased it in dubai pliz help me

The iPad that you bought in Dubai will never and can never have FacetIme on it, if it is not already on it.
The phone that you bought may not have been brought into the country legally. FaceTime is restricted in Dubai and it should not be on your phone.

TS4268 Ever since I uploaded i0s7 I haven't been able to receive I messages or face time. I have took it to the apple store and they couldn't figure it out. I have also followed the trouble shooting from I tunes and still can't get it working

Hi,
Strikes -
Go into compositionReady and have 3 variables you will be able to set them like this
strike1 = 0;
strike2 = 0;
strike3 = 0;
So on the wrong item click have
if(strike1 == 0) {
PLAY STRIKE1 ANIMATION
strike1 = 1;
else if(strike2 == 0) {
PLAY STRIKE2 ANIMATION
strike2 = 1;
else if(strike3 == 0) {
PLAY STRIKE2 ANIMATION
strike3 = 1;
So this will make it so when the wrong item is clicked each strike will be played in order.
Random Scrolling -
You should look into the Math.Random function to make things random in edge.
This is an example of the Random function. It will generate a random number up to 100.
var random = Math.floor (Math.random () * 100);
Lose Screen Score -
So we can create another variable in compositionReady for the lose score.
score = 0;
Now when the user gains a point to add to the score you could do this code on the click
score++;
which would add 1 to the score, However you can add however much you like to the score doing "score + 2" and so on.
To edit a text with the score at the end which I'm assuming you will want to do you will use .html
so $("Text").html("You score is " + score);
I hope this helps!

Face time fades out and then tries to reconnect on new ipad retina display on WiFi. Iphone 4s has no problem with face time from exact same location and same contact. WiFi signal strong on both devices. What gives?

Face time fades out and then retries to connect (new Ipad Retina Display) on WiFi. Iphone 4s has no problem with face time from same location and same contact. What gives?

Is the router to small?
Not necessarily, if you are using Facetime all the data goes through your WiFi router, your cable/DSL modem, your ISP and the internet to Apple's Facetime servers and then, in reverse, down to the Facetime recipient. If your ISP connection is too slow or there is excessive traffic on the internet you can have Facetime problems.
Most WiFi routers can handle this unless others in the house are also using WiFi at the same time. The problem may be your ISP connection or congestion on the internet, etc.

Hi, I have just purchased a ipad mini for my wife and have registered it in my name so that i can add some apps that i think she would appreciate. However if i want to contact her using face time it is registered in my name, how do you get around that?

Hi I have just purchased an i pad for my wife and have registered it in my name to add some apps prior to giving the i pad to her. However, for using face time and games where you can link via wifi it will look as though there are two of the same, if I am trying to link her ipad to mine. How do you get around this?

Check if you have set the correct language and country in your Apple TV. Maybe you are trying to connect to the wrong iTunes store.

When i want to create a face time it tells me to vertify my email address. When i go to do this i have to type in my apple ID and password on the Apple website, however when ever i do this i get a message saying Invalid account for this Email Address..

Same problem here. Whats the deal?! Apple??

I created an Apple ID using my ISP Email when I registered at the Store/Apple Support Communities/iTunes/Face Time and it does not work in iChat. Why Not ?

Question:-
I created an Apple ID using my ISP Email when I registered at the Store/Apple Support Communities/iTunes/Face Time or other portal and it does not work in iChat. Why Not ?
Answer:-
For a Name to work in iChat it has to be an Valid AIM screen Name.
Only Apple IDs from the @mac.com ending names registered here and the Mobileme (@Me.com ending) names are Valid with the AIM service as well as being Apple IDs
(I am still working on info about registering with iCloud at the moment but if this does give you an @Me.com email it may well be a valid AIM name as well)
NOTES:-
The @mac.com page works by linking an external (Non Apple) email with a @mac.com name.
This External Email cannot be one linked to an Existing Apple ID (you have to use a second email or register at AIM )
The options at AIM are to use your existing email or create new name and link the existing only for Password recovery
MobileMe (@me.com ending names) were valid Emails addresses, Apple IDs AND a Valid AIM Screen Name
@mac.com names look like emails but are only Apple IDs and iChat/AIM Valid Screen Names.
The AIM registration page seems to be pushing you to register [email protected] This is relatively new and I have not followed through the pages to find out if it a valid AIM email (Previously you could register a name without an @whatever.com suffix)

Question:-
So I have my current [email protected] email in iChat as I thought as I had linked that to an Apple ID it was a Valid iChat Name. It keeps coming up with a UserName or Password Invalid message. What do I do next ?
Answer:-
Open iChat
Go to the Menu under the iChat name in the Menu Bar and then Preferences and then Accounts in the new window.
Commonly written as iChat > Preferences > Accounts as directions/actions to take.
If it displays with a Yellow running name in the list you have a choice.
Either register it at AIM (I would use a different password to the ISP Login) and then change the password only in iChat (It may take you to confirm any Confirmation email from AIM first) in iChat > Preferences > Accounts
Or you register a new Name at AIM (Or at @mac.com) and enter that (details below)
If you have a Blue Globe name (@mac.com) that will not Login the chances are that it the password that is the issue.
Apple lets you create longer passwords than can be used with the AIM Servers.
Change the Password at iForgot to no more than 16 characters.
Then change the password in iChat as details above.
Adding a new Account/Screen Name in iChat (that is valid with the AIM servers)
Open iChat if not launched.
Go to iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts
Click the Add ( + ) Button at the bottom of the list.
Choose in the top item drop down either @Mac.com or AIM depending on what you registered
Add the name (with @mac.com the software will add the @mac.com bit)
Add in the password. (If you don't add it now iChat will ask you each time you open it)
Click Done.
The Buddy List should open (New Window)
The Accounts part of the Preferences should now have the new name and you should be looking at the details.
You can add something in the Description line which will then title the Buddy List (Useful when you have two or more names) and make it show up as that in the iChat Menu > Accounts and the Window Menu of iChat when logged in.
You can then highlight any other Account/Screen Name you don't want to use and use the Minus ( - ) Button to delete it.

Is there a problem with FaceTime, can not connect. When dial it connects and drops. When friends are calling me they have calling message and I have connecting but it does not connect. Need help, face time is my life line.

Face time not working. When dialled it says connecting and drops immediately. When my friends calling it show connecting but it does not.
Is there a problem with face time. I am in south Africa, it was working perfectly up to Easter. Please help this is my life line.

There is a barely acknowledged issue. For Mac users Apple has released an update to the app, but for iOS users the recommendation is for users to update their ipad to the most recent operating system.
There may be a fix coming for iOS6 users (which seem to be many of those having problems) or there may not be. If your ipad isn't up to date then you can update it and see if that helps, or if you don't want to update then you may want to wait and see if there is either a fix or if it fixes itself.
