Facetime audio cuts out on iPhone 4S and iPad2 after iOS6 update

I've used Facetime on my iPad2 and iPhones for years.  I updated to iOS6 and now I have the incoming audio drop out, especially when the other person starts to talk after a delay.  Are there new settings or something I need to do.  It really detracts from the generally good Facetime experiences I've had in the past.
iPhone 4S and iPad2 w/iOS6

I experience this problem as well. I have an iPhone 5 running on iOS6 and have a horrible time with audio on the other end cutting out when I receive it.

  • Why does my facetime audio cut out?

    When I am facetiming with mac laptops running snow leapord after a period of time, the audio cuts out.
    What causes this and how to prevent it? It is very annoying.
    They can hear me but the audio from them is mute.

    If the iPod plays fine after you start the car, then most likely its fine and normal. If it doesn't, try contacting your dealer.

  • My iPhone 3 not right after ios6 update

    My iPhone 3 crashes out of all apps and menus after a few seconds, also won't send messages, just halts progress then closes the app, can I downgrade the iOS again?

    No. You can not downgrade iOS. Try restoring the phone using iTunes.

  • ITunes audio cuts out on computer speakers and AirPlay device.

    When I have iTunes (10) playing and am using both my computer speakers and an AirPlay device (speaker in another room), the sound completely cuts out on both speakers repeatedly. The song will show that it's still playing, so I'll hit pause and play again, then the audio comes back both on the computer and the separate speaker.
    This problem is separate from the audio occasionally cutting out on ONLY the AirPlay device, as I assume that's a wireless connection issue. Why the audio would cut out on my computer, I can't understand.

    Similar issue here - two sets of speakers connected to 2x Airport Express (N), which in turn are connected wirelessly to an Airport Extreme base station. My iTunes library resides on a Drobo which is connected by Firewire to a MacMini which is connected by ethernet to the Airport Extreme base station.
    Sometimes the sound will cut out on the airplay speakers while still playing in iTunes, but hitting pause then play on my iPhone or iPad remote resolves this (but it is irritating).
    Occasionally iTunes will lose connectivity to the Airplay speakers, and to resolve I have to go into iTunes and deselect then select the Airplay speakers. I usually get an error message when this happens, something like 'unable to connect to airplay'.
    Not really major issues but very irritating nonetheless. For my money the issue is with Airport somewhere... My firmware is up to date so maybe it is something to do with interference on my wireless channel (from other wireless devices, microwaves etc).

  • Why won't my phone to synch music and apps after ios6 update?

    I have a 3gs and I just updated my phone to ios 6.1.3 - there was an error that happened in the middle of restoring my phone after the update, but all my contacts, photos, email, messages seem to have transfered ok...everything except my music and my apps. However, when I go to sync my phone in itunes, the option to sync is completely greyed out.  I've tried restoring the phone again after itunes prompts me whenever I plug it in, but after selecting "restore from backup" it never gives me an estimated completion time - it's like it's just booting up without actually doing anything. I've tried syncing via wifi but the option to sync is still unavailable. How do I fix this?

    Well you do not have enough space to update to 7.1  You need at least twice as much space as the size of the update file.  You willneed about 3.5Gb  What you could do is make sure youhave a good backup (backup http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766) then transfer any purchases to your computer using itunes.  Connect your phoen to itunes on your computer, select the phone form the left then click on file in the menu bar and then devices and then transfer purchases.  After that you will need to delte more things from your phone.  Looks like it might have to be music and/apps that you have to delet as you have used ablt 5 GB of dat aon your phone.  the apps should be on itunes in your computer and you can sync them back.  camera roll photos will be in the backup. Any other photos that you transferred form the comptuer to your phone should be on your computer and you can sync them back.  Once you have made enough space do the updata  then restore from the backup and then sync /transfer back what you need.

  • Iphone 4 missing music after ios6 update

    Since I have updated my IPhone 4 with IOS 6 it has not functioned well at all. Music is missing (but on Mac, Ipad1, I touch 1), 70%of apps in waiting, phone says I am not subscribed to ITunes match (which I am). Funny how my touch and pad are fine because they could not be updated (IOS 5 still) and yet my phone is messed up. I contated customer support and they are stumped as well. Any suggestions?

    Even more strangely, all the albums I have checked in iTunes on my iMac show in "Music" but almost all the songs are greyed out, with a few random ones showing. When synching the iPhone to theiMac a long blue bar indicates that the music is there but it doesn't transfer to the iPhone. The files on the iMac play fine via iTunes on the iMac.
    I have done a full "Restore" but nothing seems to work.
    Any ideas?

  • Where is 3D and Flyover after iOS6 update?

    Hi,
    I (think) I've updated to final version iOS6 (I was on beta version prior and I've had a **** of a job (if you see my previous post here).
    Maps on the beta version had flyover and 3D without problem.  However, since update, the new 3D logo (buildings) is greyed out and nothing, but nothing, will get it on.  I am doing this over cities I know have 3D/flyover capabilities by the way.
    Anyone else, or does anyone have any solutions?
    Thanks

    Reading around the threads, this solution seems to have worked for a number of people. Unfortunately, it hasn't worked for me, so I'm left with having to restore my phone, set it up as a new device, and then manually reload and reorganize my 250+ apps. Hopefully, the rogue Springboard icon won't come along for the ride.

    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (currently 10.7)
    turn off firewall and antivirus. and try again.

  • Audio cuts out for a few seconds

    Hi,
    I'm not sure if anyone is experiencing this but it happens to me all the time and it's so so annoying.
    When playingback the timeline on CS6 the audio cuts out at random places and then it comes back, then it goes again for a few seconds then back again,..while video keeps on playing.....this is just random and it can happen as soon as you press play or after a few seconds and it happens when audio is stereo, mono, mp3,wav,aif, you name it.
    Also, it happens regardless of playback quality or timeline render status (red, yellow or green). My computer is quite fast + 24gb RAM so I dont think the PC is a problem, It also happens on a different computer within our studio.
    Needless to say that editing under these circumstances is becoming impossible/frustrating and I'm even considering finding other software to edit with! I've found others with this same problem at cretive cow http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/3/935424
    If anyone from Adobe reads this, please help!!!
    thanks in advance

    Unfortunately there's no fix for this problem that plagues Classic since release. Considering that a new generation appeared I guess we have no reason to expect a fix anymore.
    I also have the problem and it makes the iPod Classic less desirable to be used as a music player than a generic $10 (no name) usb stick.

  • Audio cutting out

    Hi, I am using Logic 7.2.3 on an Intel Mac with 2 gigs RAM. I am having a problem with audio cutting out both during playback and bounces. This occurs whether or not my Mackie Onyx 400F is switched on. I work with a lot of midi instruments, and the frequency of the audio cutting out does seem to increase when I have more instruments. Do I just need more RAM, or is there something else I should do to solve the problem?

    Increase the IO Buffer size.

  • Audio cut out and midi miss sync

    Lately I have been getting audio cut out, and the missing, 'error while trying to sync audio and midi'.
    I thought it was that I had too many instances of virtual instruments. So I mixed the song down. Imported that into a NEW song, with only one audio track, and then proceeded to try to do an organ overdub...Well Logic still drops out and gives me the message, even though there is NO midi information in this file...
    Then I noticed that even AIF or mp3 files, didn't play properly from the desktop preview mode. They stop too. Activity monitor doesn't seem to be showing anything overworking..
    Disk Warrior fixed some volume errors,
    Anyone have any ideas to try?

    I'm using a motu828. I disconnected the firewire connection, and ran audio from the headphone jack to the motu, and VOILA, no problems... Last year, I went thru two motu units, not really sure if they are the issue.
    I think it might be LOGIC's firewire circuitry. Apple techs couldn't find the issue, I had the G5 motherboard replaced. Another factor was I had 3 Lacie firewire drives (2 firewire 800, 1 400) I have had 4 Lacie drives die on me in the last 3 years. They are the only firewire drives I have, so I don't know if the fault lies with them, or the again Apples firewire circuitry, stressing the drives out???
    I also put a firewire 800 card in my system.
    I have now switched to an external ESATA raid setup. No more firewire drives. So far so good. Since I had the whole motherboard replaced, I don't know what that means in terms of MOTU connected via firewire..
    For now, I'm running audio out of headphone jack, using all virtual instruments, so I know it will sound better when I get firewire audio up and running, but I got tired of it cutting out every 3 - 30 minutes. I'm thinking about the apogee duet unit. But again if it's connected via firewire, I don't know where that leaves me..
    My G5 is three and half years old, perhaps it's tired and wants to be retired....
    The dark part of me wonders, if Apple computers don't start crapping out after three years of heavy use, or is it that technology, software, updates, push the hardware beyond it's capacity after a few years.

  • After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolutio

    After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolution from the community, but hope to get the attention of Apple engineers. If you are having same problems or have a miracle cure I am all ears.

    May start my own thread, but I'm having similar issues.
    I've been using an old iMac (running 10.7.5) and Apple TV for years with no issues. Last week I bought a new Macbook Pro running Yosemite and have had audio issues multiple times. The weird thing is that sometimes it works flawlessly, other times (like now) I spend half an hour just trying to get a song to play.
    My issues are: When I got to "computers" in Apple TV to stream my music, my music is sometimes chopper or intermittent, and I seen to know when it's going to happen based on the status wheel just before it plays. When I choose a song, the status wheel will spin for an unusually long time, usually an indicator that the audio is either not going to work, or stutter.
    When it does finally pull up a song, the playhead sits at the beginning of the song for a good 3-5 seconds before actually playing. Then, when it starts playing, it's all downhill. It will play a few seconds, drop out, play a few more seconds, drop out, and then ultimately the playhead will keep moving across the song as if it's playing, but there's no audio.
    Again, this is a new phenomenon never experienced by me. I've tried everything I could think of, some of them all at once:
    • restart Apple TV
    • restart Macbook Pro
    • quite iTunes/open
    • turn off Home Sharing on iTunes then reconnect it
    • unplugging and cycling both my modem and router
    None of these have alleviated the problem.
    The odd thing is, like this morning, the audio started up perfectly and never gave me any issues. It wasn't until later in the day that it started. Perhaps after the macbook pro had been put to sleep? Not sure.
    Regardless, this is an annoying trait, one that's new to me and my system (as stated, worked flawlessly until my new purchase), and is 100% limited to either a) the macbook pro b) Yosemite or c) both of them.

  • Audio cuts out and video "freezes" every 10-15 seconds

    So I recently switched to Verizon (about 2 weeks ago) for internet and tv.  After about a week (with no video or audio issues), I decided that I wanted to get a DVR.  So they shipped me a DVR Set Top Box - model is CHS 435HDC.
    When watching live TV the problem isnt THAT bad...every 1-2 minutes the audio will cut out and the video will pixelate for about 1 second, and then it continues right along.
    When watching a TV show that I recorded on the DVR it is REALLY bad...basically unwatchable.  The audio and video will cut out briefly every 10-15 seconds, then it continues along normally for another 10 seconds or so then it cuts out for a second and continues again.
    Obviously I'm going to ask for a different DVR to be sent to me but if it happens again with the next box I may just cancel and switch back to the "other guy".  This is a pretty bad start to what I thought would be a new and better experience.  (Im not even going to go into the horrible on-demand menu system.)
    Wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem before with their DVR?
    Thanks!
    (Dont know if it matters but I am in Maryland)
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Generally but not always pixelation and picture break up is an issue with the signal to the set top box. Sometimes it's as simple as a loose coax cable, or the connector has come loose from the cable itself. There are other causes, but those are the easiest to start checking. I have sent you a private message to your forums inbox.

  • I have been watching a rental movie and the audio cut out half way through, tried restoring the apple TV now I've lost the rental.

    I have just been watching (The  Adjustment Bureau) a rental movie and about half way through the audio cut out, I tried rerunning the chapter but still the same problem so I tried the restoring function and now I have lost the 48 hrs viewing of the movie. So how do I get the movie back without paying for it again and is this problem likely to reoccoure and if so how do I rest without loosing the movie?

    Hi David.
    This must be a glitch in the movie file on the iTunes server because my husband and I just reached the same point in he film (The Adjustment Bureau) and no audio! Totally cuts out and doesn't come back in. We tried the same - turned off, signed out, and also couldn't see the rental in the menu... Sign out, sign back in and click 'Check for rentals' in the 'General' menu just under where you signed in.
    It may come up with a negative 'no more rentals can be found' or similar but go back to the main screen and check anyway. It should be there.
