Face Time does not work consistently on the iPad 2.

Both iPad 2's are updated to the latest iOS version. Both use e-mail addresses to contact each other. Both are using wireless.
When you first try to connect to the iPad it shows it trying to connect but the receiving iPad does not ring. If you go into settings and turn off Face Time and then back on again on the receiving iPad it will work fine for about 3 connections then it stops working again until you turn Face Time off then on again.
Any suggestions to fixing this issue?

It finally seems to work (2nd day now and counting)...
I tried the following with no luck:
upgrading to iOS 5
adding an associated e-mail and calling that associated e-mail
do a full-scale registration of the e-mail (and making a free purchase via itunes) instead of a 'facetime only' registration
this combo however seems to have done the trick:
keeping the ipad2 plugged in
changing the dns on the ipad to "8.8.4.4,8.8.8.8"
If it continues to work for a few more days, then i think i can say the the problem is finally resolved.

  • Face time does not accept my Apple ID and will not work.  Help!!, face time does not accept my Apple ID and will not work.  Help!!

    Hi, Face time does not accept my Apple ID and therefore Face time does not work. Any suggestions?

    You might have some sort of interference or communication problem, I just wanted to check you were entering the right ID to begin with.
    If you are using the correct ID (without spaces), then you might try restarting the router or trying another wifi channel to eliminate interference.

  • The back button does not work consistently, and rarely works if I open an attachment...any ideas on fixing this?

    The back button does not work consistently, and rarely if ever when I open an attachment. Does anyone have a fix for this?
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often
    == I installed firefox

    Same problem here: I never had a problem with the previous versions and now I don't even get my homepage when I click Firefox. Instead, I am getting a blank screen that says "New Tab", only after I click the "Home" symbol I get my Homepage (Yahoo). The browser - back and browser forward button don't work anymore, very annoying. Normally a newer version should be an improvement but it looks like Mozilla really messed up with this "improvement". probably I am going to use Google chrome from now on.

    face time is not working in the middle east ive tried every thing but its still not working plz help ive updated my old version every thing it used to work but the it stopped working and there is a message shown waiting for activation but its still not activated

    Not sure why you had to repeat the same statemnt 5 times, but some middle eastern countries do not permit Facetime so carriers block it..

  • HT201401 My iphone 5 volumn down button does not work most of the time. it feels fine.  in an otterbox defender. this is my second iphone that it is doing the same thing.

    i have a iphone 5. the volume button going down only does not work.  this is my second phone with the same problem.  i have had otterboxes for both phones.

    Does not work even with the case off. I formatted and rebooted, reset, called apple and sent the last one back. It was free but this is getting old. I have had all iPhones and this is the only one I have had issues.

  • Help....my daughter has an ipod, iphone and ipad and face time will not work

    My daughter has an iphone, ipod and we have a family ipad. for some reason face time will not work. it rings in but the connection is never made. I even had her phone into verizon and they couldn't figure out why facetime wouldn't work. Anyone have any ideas on how we can correct this. It cannot be her phone because it's doing the same thing on her ipod, I cannot get facetime even to call out on our ipad. My oldest daughter has the iphone and a MAC in the same household and hers are working?

    Alot of people are having problems with FaceTime.
    Are you're devices updated?

  • My new ipod classic does not work anymore! The music stopped and the display is dead. What now, besides calling support?

    My new ipod classic does not work anymore! The music stopped and the display is dead. What now, besides calling support? Useless to say my PC didn't recognize the Ipod anymore either.

    Anton, I wish I could help. I had an old iPod Classic (60 KB) as a gift but it went dead, I dropped it a few times accidentally, and it sat carefully saved until I had sufficient resources, energy and time to get the matter addressed. In my case, I actually took the thing (after making sure it was charged) to an Apple store and one of the geniuses at the genius bar at the back of the store took it and did a few things (unseen and un-noted) with his fingers and handed it to me with a sly smile. Voila, the thing was functional. I got a re-functionalized iTunes account and store access when I bought my iMac. I did lose a few tunes along the way because it didn't recognize my new iMac as the source (my old dead PC laptop), but I have a more functional memory than the iPod and recovered them all in other ways. The whole thing is humming better than ever. At over 11 gb full, I have 4.2 days worth of portable listening. Be patient; it took me four years to get musical nirvana in a pocket, but you'll get there faster. Call support.

  • Itunes does not work me in the pc

    itunes does not work me in the pc, it gives me an unknown error 0x80090330

    I "fought" for more than three months with a problem concerning the iPhone 3G. The operator did not introduce any amendments, and the error was corrected in time with the new software provided by Apple.
    This time, Orange is also not able to improve anything. It seems that only Apple can do something about it.
    On the Polish forum for Apple products, is a topic devoted to this problem.
    http://myapple.pl/iphone-rozmowy-ogolne/150531-w-iphone-4-orange-rozmowca-nas-ni e-slyszy.html
    Paste link in order not to be groundless.
    Once again, I will describe exactly what the problem is.
    During a conversation in a 3G coverage, I no longer hear the caller at a time when 3G coverage is lost and there is a change to the Edge.
    By about 10 to 15 seconds the caller does not hear me. Once again, this time the caller hears me and the conversation can be conducted smoothly on Edge.
    I would add that in other phones, as well as the iPhone 3G, switching from 3G to Edge is smooth and without any disturbance - the same network.

    Adobe Creative Cloud (Desktop) does not work properly. The application is blocked : it could not be launch neither stopped. I'm on MAC Yosemite OS, does anyone know how to remove it properly or to force its stop. It does not appear in the launched applications.

    I received no error message. The application was just trying to find applications unsuccessfully.
    I am using MAC OS 10.10.1
    I tried to uninstall the application  but it seems that a kind of deamon is still installed thus providing me to reinstall properly. Do you know where are the elements to remove in order to get my machine just like before ?
    Otherwise I would have to reinstall everything and this would be a pain.
    Thanks for your help.

  • The "portable document format" icon is a Word 2010 icon, so selecting Adobe Reader as action does not work to display the PDF.

    In the Applications tab -- Content Type -- the "portable document format" icon is a Word 2010 icon (not Adobe), so selecting Adobe Reader or preview in Firefox as action does not work to display the PDF. I can see this Applications difference because my other Firefox laptop has the Adobe icon, and I can view PDFs. Essentially, a PDF is coming in as a Word document -- and the computer tries to open it up as a Word file.
    How do I get the correct PDF icon in the Applications list -- the same way it displays (and works) on my other laptop.

    Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 10.1.7 ?
    I think you need to add this to the list of applications and the action to take on the type of content. This can also be managed in the about:permissions page. [[Permissions Manager - Give certain websites the ability to store passwords, set cookies and more]]
