Facetime call from a contact but connected to another random stanger.
Hi there, I'm using an iPhone 5S. Recently I received a few facetime calls from one of my contact, but it turned out to be the same random stranger from another part of the world! Anyone facing the same problem?
Check to see if you have an old phone number associated with this person in your address book. When you call someone on Facetime it calls ALL numbers/emails associated with that persons contact sheet! This was my problem, this stranger has my husband's old phone number!

Why can I make FaceTime calls from my iPhone but not from my Mac?
Facetime on my Mac sets up properly, links to my contacts, and appears to make calls (i.e., it "rings"). But it doesn't actually connect to the other person. However, I can make Facetime calls on my phone. Huh?

On my iPad Air, I have deleted the FaceTime icon from many of my listed Contacts. Is there a way to restore the icon and FaceTime facility to selected contacts?
Some of my contacts in Contacts have the Facetime icon in their listing, some don't. I guess I've deleted it from those where it's missing, though not sure how! How can I get it back when it's missing? in Edit, I can add new email addresses, phone numbers etc, but I can't figure out how to add FaceTime to a listing.

Call from my contact but stranger in reality
I apologize for such a weird title, but something really strange happened...
I was talking to my Mom via IM in Skype, we just said good byes to each other and all of a sudden I started receiving calls from her. I kept declining as I was not able to answer them, but they kept coming one after another... Finally, I decided to answer one of the calls to find out what was going on. I answered it as a Video call, and the person I got on the other end was NOT my Mom. It was some stranger I've never seen before.
How is it possible? Was my Mom's account hacked?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.she may need to contact customer service, here's how;

FaceTime calling the right name - but the wrong person
I've seen a few threads of folks having their FaceTime dial a random person (mostly on iOS 7), but I had something even more troubling happen to me this past week. I tried to FaceTime with my sister/niece. The call rang on my end, and a few seconds later, a random person picked up on the other end. At first, I just assumed it was a friend of my sister's who was over at their house. But we quickly discovered that the call had connected to a different person who shares my sisters name (first and last). We exchanged awkward pleasantries and hung up. I then tried my sister again, who said the initial FaceTime call from me rang on her end, but then quickly disconnected. Not sure how the call got re-routed to someone else OF THE SAME NAME -- but a weird (and troubling) occurrence.

I AM TRYING TO CALL ON FACETIME BY USING MY CONTACT LIST BUT WHEN I HIT THE CONTACTS NAME NOTHING HAPPENS AND ALSO WHEN I TRY TO ADD A NEW CONTACT THE PLUS DOES NOT TAKE ME TO THE ADD INFORMATIOM. I CAN RECEIVE FACETIME CALLS FROM MY GRAND DAUGHTERS. HELP
TOM. VELVETTOUCHDo you have the "Green Arrow" icon on one of your toolbars? That usually will list your most recent downloads with a button to open the folder where they are saved.
If you don't have that, you can open the full download list using either:
* Ctrl+j
* Tools > Downloads
* History > Show All History, then click Downloads in the left column
Can you find the download listed there and click the "Open Containing Folder" button?
Are you downloading Flash or Acrobat/Reader?
For Flash try: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
For Acrobat/Reader, you may not need an update.
Firefox's plugin check site only recognizes the Adobe XI (11) series as current, but if you have checked for updates in your Adobe Reader X or Adobe Acrobat X product (Help > Check for Updates) then you do not need to update the plugin. For this older Reader/Acrobat version, please rely on Adobe for information on available updates and not the plugin check site. -

DND deny call from all contacts
Hello there!
I'm expecting a call from an unknoown number from a country with a completely different time zone. I want to use the DND function the otherway around. Allow me to silence all calls from my contact list, and at the same time, allow calls from unknown/blocked numbers. Is that possible?
Any help would be appreciated!I'm a little afraid to sync the iPhone since I don't want to lose my contacts anywhere else.
Address Book > File > Export > Address Book Archive...

Can you increase the size of the photo that shows when you receive a call from a contact
Can you increase the size of the photo that shows when you receive a call from a contact ?
It used to be if you added the contacts photo on the iOS device they would have a large picture and if you added it from Address Book on OS X they would have a smaller thumbnail. However, since iOS5, all I've been able to get is the larger photo. Try adding the picture directly in the contacts app on your device. That should make it larger.
