Facetime Choppy on iPad 2 but not iPhone 4

My parents have been using their iPhone 4 to do Facetime with me both on my iMac and iPad 2 with no problems.  I bought them an iPad 2 so that they would have a larger display for Facetime.  Unfortunately, the video/audio is choppy on their iPad 2 but not on their iPhone 4.  Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot the problem?  I would think it's related to the router or their ISP's bandwidth, but their iPhone 4 works perfectly fine (e.g. no lag/choppiness). 
Thanks...

the ipad wifi unit is not that strong, and the camera is less than a meg.
Tell them to stand next to the router and turn on all light in the room, it should help alittle, but you never going to get the same quality as the iphone

    I have a older MBP running 10.6.8 and after the recent iOS update I have not been able to sync my devices. I was able to sync an ipod, but not iphone or ipad. iTunes recognizes my devices, but sync button stays grayed. I've changed my USB hub, reinstalled iTunes and run disc cleanup. No luck.

    You said that your computer will sync other iPods? Are they iPod touches? Other iPod use different drivers the the touch And iPhone and iPad).
    You can try:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    Does it charge? Does the iPod work?
    I would try on another computer.
    Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • HT4059 Books are downloading to IPad 2 but not fully loading on iPhone 4S.

    Books are downloading to IPad 2 but not fully loading on iPhone 4S.  Shows book cover but the download line never filled out and book remains shaded and unable to open, delete, or move.  Tried un/reinstall of iBooks, reboot phone, turning on/off, syncing.  Suggestions?

    I contacted Apple support.  He had me unsync all books from my phone through itunes and then resync all books back to phone.  It work and all iBooks are now completely loaded. 

  • Quicktime Pro - export as mpeg-4 works in iPod Touch but not iPhone 3G

    If I use Movie to iPhone / iPhone (cellular) the quality is pretty dismal considering I use the component cable to pipe it out to HDTV.
    So, I tried using movie to mpeg-4 as that allows options. However, the resulting video can be transferred over to an iPod Touch (latest hw/fw) but iTunes (latest version) complains the mp4 cannot be played on the iPhone 3G and thus did not transfer the file over.
    Any ideas what settings I can use under Movie to MPEG-4 that will work for both iPod Touch and iPhone? I would like resolutions up to 720, 25 fps and at around 768kbits/sec.
    Right now I'm using ffmpeg.exe and I do get great quality, but would like to use QuickTime Pro if possible.

    I've tried Movie to iPhone but like I said I do watch movies piped out from the iPhone to HDTV via the component cables. I don't recall the bitrate and resolution offhand, but I know it could be better. Also why iPod Touch can take the Movie to MPEG-4 but not iPhone 3G?

  • The autofill feature worked on my iPad 2, but not on the New iPad. Anyone know why?

    The autofill feature worked on my iPad 2, but not on the New iPad. Anyone know why?

    Go to Settings>Safari>Auto Fill>On .... Names and Passwords>On .... Use Contact Info>On. Make sure that your contact information is correct.
    Then quit Settings and Safari completely and restart the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. 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.
    See if that helps.

  • I can print from my iPad 3 but not from my new iPad mini which has a lower spec. What should I do?

    Question. Why can I print from my iPad 3 but not from my new iPad mini which has a lower spec?

    The "lower specs" have nothing to do at all with why you cannot print. Are you connected to the same Wi-Fi network that the printer & the iPad 3 is on?

    It should sync the same if the songs are the same. You can try:
    - Unsyncing all music and resysncing
    - Restoring the iPod

  • HT1420 delete app from ipad but NOT iphone

    Want to disable an app on my ipad but not my iphone. Is there a way? One is mine and mine alone. The other (bill - not device) is paid for and monitored by my company.

    You turn off iMessage on your iPad. When you block a number/Apple ID, that block will be synced across all iOS devices using your Apple ID.

  • Why a video file is able to transfer to my iPad 2 but not my iPhone 4?

    Hi everyone,
    I am experiencing a problem that is never happening before. There is a video file (MP4. H.264,AAC) which is normally support by my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 both devices. However when I sync it with my iPad, there is no problem with it at all. The video could play on iPad normally but when i sync the same file with my iPhone on the same laptop and same iTunes database, it is not working! And iTunes pop up a notification thats tell me "the file format is not support for yout iPhone". How could that happen??? I never have this problem before.
    It is the matter because of the different iOS version? My iPad 2 is operating iOS 5.1.1 and my iPhone 4 is operating under iOS 4.3.3.
    It is wired. Anybody could help me here?
    With many many thanks.

  • ICloud will sync with iCal & contacts on Mac but not iPhone or iPad

    I just got a new iMac and set up my calendar and contacts, essentially entering everything from my old exchange server (going away from the PC).  My iCloud syncs with the Mac, but every time I try with the iPhone or iPad it constantly is "searching" for the calendar and contacts, draining battery life.  I have spent the last two days doing hard resets, wiping clean and doing a system restore for my iPhone and iPad (very frustrating!!) and doing both a system recovery AND installing everything manually.  It is worth noting that iCloud worked on my iPhone and iPad BEFORE I set it up with the iMac and software is all up to date.  I have also deleted the iCal, exported a copy and rebooted the reset up the iCloud account.  Things always seem to work with the Mac, but not the mobile devices.  Will apple care even be able to help?  This is really frustrating as I have no contacts on my phone....

    OKAY FOLKS, I found the answer.  I figured the only explination could be with my iCloud Account.  I tried EVERYTHING, read every discussion on this topic.  It WASN'T b/c I had an old Mobile Me account.  It WASN'T b/c I didn't have the sttings right.  I rebooted, erased data, EVERYTHING.  The only solution was to create a NEW iCloud account - I chose a new address through Apple (me.com).  Even though I already have a me.com email address and a different Apple ID I figured starting fresh was the only way.  Sadly, I lost all of my calendar data (when I tried to import my old calendar data from a backup it was associated with the old iCloud account and could not be edited) but my contacts were saved.  I just re-entered my calendar information... figured this would be less time consuming than trying to reboot and research the issue 10 more hours!
    Here are the steps I used:
    1- iCloud was OFF on my iPhone to start
    2- Export your iCal and iContacts data from your Mac to a backup (you WILL lose your data)
    3- On iPhone went to Settings, iCloud and went through the proper steps to set up a new iCloud account with a NEW email address (me.com)
    4- On iMac under System Preferences I deleted my OLD iCloud account (it will prompt you stating you will lose your data or you can merge/save).  The only way I could get it to work was to accept the warning it was going to delete everything
    5- Set up a NEW iCloud account on my Mac with the NEW me.com account I set up on my iPhone.  Somehow my Contacts were kept in tact, uploaded to iCloud and to my iPhone.  Had issues with my iCal data, but I entered all the information manually.
    Everything is syncing great!  Haven't set this up yet on my iPad but will do that next.  I'm hopeful!!
