Facetime activated, could call other iphone4 and iMac but couldn't connect

I have 2 iphone 4s, the new one i bought last week for my wife can activate facetime, could call to Facetime for Mac, call facetime to another iphone 4 in the same wifi network. But it keep saying 'connecting' but never connected.
From Facetime Mac I can never call this phone though.
The network should be no problem as another iphone 4 no any issue on facetime.
I tried almost all methods I could find but none of them work, reset, restart...
Any suggestion appreciated.
Thanks.

I believe it's Apple facetime server's issue. Actually I refreshed my wife's iphone 4, then instead of restore from backup, I tried to make it a new phone. Facetime worked (one day or two days!).
After reinstalled lots of apps, later Monday when I tried to call her from office, facetime no longer work again. Definitely Apple facetime server has problem.

Try something really simple.
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.
Or try this. Reboot 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.
Or try this as well. Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure it is set to On.
@Freckles888 ..... I really doubt that "millions of others" are having this problem. I think that news would be all over the airwaves and Apple would be taking more heat about it that we can imagine.

HT1766 since os7 update for ipad, I can't sign into Facetime. I enter username & password & the message I get back is "FaceTime Activation could not sign in. Pls check your network connect". There is nothing wrong with my wifi connect. What's up with this

Any takers on this question ? FaceTime is one of the apps I used all the time prior to Os7 update, now i can't get in because when I try to sign in, the message I receive says Activation could not sign in and I should check my network connection. My network connection works fine, I can use the internet or twitter or all the other apps which require a working network, but not FaceTime.......What's up with that ??

there has been a big problem with facetime and imessage. The best solution for this case is to restore your device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Make sure you back it up. and I would set up facetime before you reinstall your backup and make sure its working.

Iphone4 can't connect Bluetooth with other iPhone4 and I'm trying to connect with my bluetooh it's not found anything on iphone4 Bluetooth??

iphone4 Bluetooth prob

From a technical stand point, the BlueTooth does allow transfer of any kind of file. However, this isn't always true. The device vendor has the option to turn off certain settings or, rather, restrict them. With that said, Apple has turned off iPhone to iPhone sharing directly via BT (BlueTooth). You can connect your headset or use a BT keyboard but you will not be able to transfer files directly from one phone to another. Is there an app that can do this? Sure, I believe Bump makes use of this. You could always find alternative apps as well.

Please Help me! I think this is from Apple server side problem!
Thanks in Advance

You may want to ask your question under a new discussion thread so you can be the Original Poster(OP) there. You will continue to receive emails from the other threads you have posted to. I think it will allow folks responding to focus on your particular situation. Also you will have to post your troubleshooting results only once.
Now that you are past the FaceTime login step, where are you in the troubleshooting steps in the iOS:Using FaceTime article at http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/facetime/?
Again, if you can ask and answer in a new thread/topic, that would be great.

Have you tried re-booting your WiFi router ? It may seem OK on your PC, but a re-boot may help.

When trying to sign in to Face Time, I continually get "Face time Activation" "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again". I am able to access the internet via Safari, so my network connection seems to be working. What am I doing wrong, and how can I access Face Time?

Hey sklingen,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues signing into FAceTime. The following article may help to resolve your issue:
iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4268
You may also want to reset your network settings:
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: this will delete any network related settings (saved Wi-Fi passwords, etc), it will not erase any content from your device.
Thanks,
Matt M.

I'm aware that all printers are not airprint enabled but since i can print form my imac that should not be a problem right?

Hey Fredrik68,
I would double check and see if you meet all the requirements for AirPrint here, including the printer model:

Probably. Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before installing it.
