Facetime disconnecting as soon as it connects...

FaceTime dissconnects calls as soon as they are placed and says person I am calling is unavailable, (even when I am testing the facetime app by calling my own iPhone...)
Even when I try FaceTime from my iPhone 5 to the MAc, it still instantly dissconnects and gives similar message about the person I am calling...
I tried calling my wife on her iPhone 4 in the USA via FaceTime... same problem...
Help!!!
Why?
What is wrong?
How can I fix it?

Thanks for this. It might have been a possible cause of the issue with calling my wife in the USA, from here in the UK, but I am getting the exact same behaviour when testing it on my own phone.... So it does not explain why I cannot even make a FaceTime call to my own iPhone 5 from my Mac, or vice versa, (as mentioned above).... Given that they are both in the same building, (therefore same time zone), it seems this may not be the only issue. Also I have set my iPhone to "automatic" aleady, so this could not be a factor surely.
Any other thoughts as to possible cause?
I have read comments online that seem to suggest that there may be a glitch in iOS6 to do with FaceTime, but cannot get a clear understanding of whether this may be true, or the exact nature of it, or how it might be fixed, (if at all). Is there something to this suggestion?
Any help would be most welcome.

Ipod is disconnecting as soon as it connects

OKay, so I may have rollay screwed up my ipod. I got a new ipod nano for Christmas and a Windows laptop. I had originally connected the ipod to my mac home computer and uploaded all the songs I wanted on to my ipod. I then plugged in my ipod to my laptop and it [the laptop] said the files on the ipod were not compatable with the laptop and if I wanted to change files and change the ipod to Windows. I clicked okay, knowing that it would delete everything off [I see now that this was a very VERY stupid idea]. I then took my ipod over to my mac and plugged it in, seeing if I could at least get the songs on to it. My ipod then synced with my mac itunes and uploaded all the songs in my itunes on to my ipod.
After I ejected it, I realized there was no music on the ipod. I plugged it back in and as soon as the computer recognized it, the ipod would automatically eject it. I tried different cords and even tried it on my laptop but it's still automatically ejecting [meaning I can not even click the restore button to restore the ipod]
PLEASE! Someone offer me any sort of help! I'm so angry and upset about this that any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!

I uninstalled itunes on my laptop then waited about an hour and connected my ipod to my mac (I just care that it will work on there) and all was fine and I was able to restore it

FaceTime disconnects when answered on my Macbook Pro running Yosemite 10.10.2

Dear Apple Support Communites,
I upgraded to Yosemite back in November and have experienced a multitude of frustrations so far. My latest gripe is that FaceTime disconnects as soon as the person I am calling answers or as soon as I answer the caller.
When I first did a clean install of Yosemite it worked absolutely fine. Ringing on both my Macbook Pro and my iPhone 6 but now it doesn't ring at all on the Macbook Pro.
Every so often my Mac won't shutdown (Finder won't respond) and I have to turn off with the power switch. Pretty frustrating really and I wonder if this continued practice has resulted in the further issues I am experiencing currently.
If anyone can fix this issue I take my hat off to you. If you can fix both then I will eat my hat in its entirety.
Thanks in advance for any help offered.
Best,
D

Thanks for your reply Linc.
I have tried that several times but it makes no difference at all I am afraid...

Why does my FaceTime hang up as soon as it connects? It will work on my i phone 5 but not on my MacBook Air?

FaceTime Calls Keep getting dropped as soon as I connect both calling and receiving.

So I have a Macbook Pro and I am trying to facetime someone on an Iphone 4. It calls and connects but as soon as I connect, the call drops, or says the other person is unavailable. I have updated all my software, and it still has the issue.

Ipod nano shuts down windows as soon as is connected

I have just purchased an ipod nano 4th generation, downloaded itunes software with no problem, the nano is fully charged, this has been done on a different computer, my problem is that soon as I connect the ipod via the usb cable the pc shuts down and then tries to restart itself (no blue screen)it will not restart though whilst the ipod is connected, i have read that i should update usb drivers but am not able to see which one the ipod connects to as the shut down is fairly instant, has anyone else had this problem and how could it be resolved, need big help please

I've experienced the same problem since 21st November and attended the Ipod Genius Bar at Oxford Street and still no resolution. Today i have both my childrens Nano 4th Generation working/syncing etc.
The Nano identifies an apple ipod driver when connected to the computer for the first time when online. Itunes refuses to accepts this and shuts down, similar to your problem.
Without being online or opening itunes i opened computer management then device manager and disable the apple driver.
I then opened the assigned a USB Mass Storage Device driver to the Nano. I then opened the Nano in windows and found several files including calender etc on the disk. I deleted all the contents and disconnected it from the computer through the eject device feature.
I then opened Itunes and connected the Nano and it recognised it and required it to be fully restored which i did.
I have since connected it to Itunes Store etc and no problems.
By the way i have removed both Itunes & Quicktime no less than eleven times and reassigned drive letters to the Nano as well as re-create my itunes library on a seperate disk drive but the problem stems from the device drives and the programs/files already on the Nano.
I hope this helps.

Itunes says "restoring iphone apps" as soon as I connect my phone to the computer after ios 5 update

So I've downloaded ios5. And itunes just gets stuck at "restoring iphone apps".
even if I close itunes (which I can only do with the task mananger) and then reboot it, as soon as I connect the phone it says "restoring iphone apps" again and just gets stuck at that. So I cannot access anything on there.
Doesn't help that I now can't even use my phone at all as it keeps telling me I can't use the e-mail address that I have registered as it's already in use!!!!!
So I now have a phone that I cannot use at all! An I can't restore on itunes because it gets stuck in that loop if I plug it in!

The same happened to me. While it's restoring apps, you will be able to set up your ipod with iOS5. You can do that without disconnecting it from your computer. It will take quite a long time but it will go from restoring ipod apps, to restore music, videos and pictures. Be patient and it will finish the process in a few hours.

Ipod appear in my computer when disconnected, doesn't appear when connected?

It's impossible to add songs to my ipod because when i connect the ipod the taskbar says it's connects however it doesn't appear in itunes or in "my computer". In addition to that it takes million and a half years to eject it from the task bar. I've managed to disconnect it properly maybe twice. at first i thought it was that the drivers need to be reinstalled. but after waiting for an entire day for it to respond i disconnected it improperly and suddenly the ipod icon appeared in my computer and actually stayed there for a while while the ipod was disconnected. as soon as i reconnect it the ipod disappears. im thinking the computer is slow to respond to it since it immediately opens itunes when i disconnect it after waiting for hours.

The USB host controller maybe hung by the Antivirus or a slow CPU, with low RAM.
Antivirus has a tendency to freeze iTunes sync Operation with iPod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your iPod filesystem, so when iTunes can't read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
My suggestion.
Connect your iPod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete.
Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
Stop the Antivirus program
Connect your iPod to the PC, using a high speed USB 2.0 port at the back of your PC. (don't use USB hub or the USB port at the front of your PC).
When iTunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well.
When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
Good Luck!

Network becomes limited or unavailable as soon as i connect to cisco anyconnect secure mobility client, version - 3.1.05170

Hiee,
I am using cisco anyconnect secure mobility client, version - 3.1.05170 , in my windows 8.1 PC to access vpn to my office desktop. But as soon as i connect cisco anyconnect client, my wifi networks becomes limited or unavailable. Thus, i am not able to get remote access to my office desktop. And not even able to access any other websites also. But as soon as i disconnect from the cisco anyconnect vpn client, every thing becomes normal, and the exclamation mark from the network icon also disappears.
kindly help me in this regard.
Thanks and regards
Neeraj

There are a few things to consider here:
- The IPSec VPN client is EoL, so even if we consider this as a bug, it wouldn't be fixed
- fixing the file server access would break the DHCP renew which means there is no completely clean way to fix this, at least not at the IP level since the client can't route to the same destination using 2 different paths.
Is there any chance we could do a static policy NAT for the DHCP traffic so it appears to come from another IP? It's twisted and it may not work (the client might use the DHCP server IP embedded inside the payload and not the source IP) but if it does, then we'd fix the overlap.
Could the server use another IP address for the DHCP service (much like using a loopback for a certain service on a router?)
A third solution would be to NAT the destination server IP on the ASA for traffic from the IP pool going to the server. We'd need DNS doctoring as well to resolve the server's name to the NATted IP. This way the server would appear from the VPN client as being at a different IP, thereby fixing the overlap.
All these potential solutions are quite involved... you may be better off wityh a simpler design: splitting of your server into 2 or using something else to do DHCP for the VPN clients.

HP DV6000 series laptop - Shut down immediately as soon as I connect the power Charger

Hi,
I am using a hp dv6000 series laptop for last 2 years.... Accidentally, water fell on my laptop and then my laptop itself fell down from the table.
One the first day when I tried restarting it there was no response ( No power LED no display nothing, no cpu fan etc ...)
I disassembled the laptop, cleaned the RAM hard disk, front bezel, keyboard. I used a hair dryer to dry out any of the moisture. My laptop then started showing some response ... now after 4 days .... it is working all fine except the display...
The problem is :
1. The Laptop backlight is not working... (but I can see the display with a external flashlight pointed to screen)
2. The laptop works fine on battery... but as soon as I connect the power charger... it immediatly shuts down.
Currently because of display problem... I am using the (RDP) windows remote desktop connection from an another laptop to access the desktop.... I logged on from another laptop and checked that all the internal harware parts are working fine.
Also, sometimes suddenly randomly the display backlight starts working fine and goes off randomly.
Please suggest. I seached all the online help but I have found no help on "Shut down immediately as soon as I connect the power Charger"...
thanks.

It sounds like the LCD power inverter has been damaged and would need to be replaced. As far as the AC adapter/battery issue, I'm not sure. It sounds like you need to retire this notebook early.

Itouch crashes windows as soon as I connect!!!!

Hi Guys,
Hoping somebody can help me. Had my itouch for 8 months, and never had a problem until this weekend. For some reason as soon as I connect my itouch to my laptop with the USB my laptop crashes. For a split second it says it has connected to a still digital camera but then everything crashes and the laptop reboots from a blue screen! My itunes is up to date as is the itouch. Only thing I have downloaded recently is Apps store but was working fine. This is annoying me beyond beleif as I cant put stuff on the itouch. Anybody got any ideas?
Thanks

I have same problem. Here's what I do not understand. One person had no problem for 8 months.
Then suddenly.... Me -no problem for 2 weeks. Another person 2 months no problem for 2 months then ....
App note says outdated be web cam drivers. I deleted all web cam drivers...it still reboots my computer or crashes it depending how you look at it.
The guy with no problemm for 8 months-then all of a sudden web cam drivers are outdated?
How am I suppossed to delete pictures from Ipod when I can not even get the thng to synch or get to screen that allows you to synch? Then does that mean I cannot have pictures on Ipd anymore?
Clearly-what was never was a problem has become a problem. I have not added any Windows software other than itunes.
So-if no answers forth coming from Apple-I will return my 475 dollars worth of I touch. Called help; reinstall everything blah blah blah- have done that still have problem.
I'm (If you hadn't already guessed) unhappy. Apple has to do better than this. As much as I dislike Windoze-this learly seems to me to be an Apple problem.

Why can't I make any calls on facetime, the call drops after saying connecting.

Why can't I make any calls on facetime, the call drops after saying connecting for a few seconds. I'm using an iphone 5, 32 GB on IOS 6.0.1 over 3G network in Muscat, Oman. Just to be clear, I was able to make facetime call in Muscat about a week ago.

If this user to user forum could not help you with your issue, contact Apple to get your Device serviced or looked at.
