Facetime doesn't work the way it should...
Unfortunately, since I arrived back home in Germany Facetime stopped working they way it has been before.
I was visiting my Boyfriend on the other side of the world and for us, Facetime is one of the most important things.
My Wifi at home is still the same and his situation didn't change either.
When I call, I can hear the ringtone Facetime makes, when he is picking up. I can also hear some background noises and with a little luck I can also hear him saying something. But after 5 seconds (the latest) everything breaks down kind of. I can't hear anything at all anymore. Just from time to time there are backgroundnoises but after a short time they disappear again.
Both of us have an Iphone 5 and both of us have IOS 8 installed.
It would be nice to know why it stopped working in the first place. If nothing happens we will have to switch to skype, which would be sad, because the connection with facetime has always been really good - just like a real call.
Hoping for help
Hannah
The first step would be to try and FaceTime someone else to see if you have the same issue. If so, try to reset your iPhone by holding down the home and lock buttons until you see the Apple Logo. If you are able to use FaceTime with someone else then it could be on your boyfriend's end. Possibly have him reset his iPhone as well.
If none of that works, consider finding a boyfriend that you are able to FaceTime with.

Ps 3d and filters and save for web are not working the way they should
At work we just put cs6 on a w7 machine running 64 bit which has more than that required mem and or ram to run cs6 - unfortunately I have to use a windows based machine at work (cheapskates). Anyways. I see the 3d menus and the filter menu in PS but they aren't funtional. The filter menu drop down is there but Liquify is the only one that shows up the rest are gray. The option to choose 3d is also there but they are not functional (grayed out) - I took a look at some online tutorials on using the 3d effect in PS CS6 and Ive gone through it a few times and it still won't work for me. Also, in illustrator when I save for web - when I adjust the pixel dimensions and move the mouse over and click on the image that I am saving for web nothing happens and I'm completely boggled about how to get the image size to change in the save for web pane. Typically I am used to being able to input the the number into the pixel dimenion field and click on the image and the image resizes (on a mac you can either click on the image or hit return and the image will resize in front of your eyes!). I am unable to get this to work the way I am used to, this happens for me in both ill5 and ill6 on this piece of crap windows machine. Maybe I just need to reinstall? Maybe adobe has changed the way this works? Maybe a sledge hammer into this windows machine would solve all my problems!? IDK. someone help... help me... pleeeeaaaaaaaaaaasssseeeee
unfortunately I have to use a windows based machine at work (cheapskates).
This gets a "stupid comment of the day" medal. Seriously. These days Macs are just as convoluted and effed up as Windows was a few years ago - nice as long as everything works, but god forbid you have a problem. So by all means, update your graphics driver and be glad that you actually have that choice rather than having to wait half a year for Apple to fix it...

Hi ,
I am creating an ipad application . When the app launches i am trying to get some data from server , and show it at the beggining .
It works perfectly fine when i run the app in simulator , and flash the build in ipad from Xcode .
However ,as soon i create an ipa file , install in ipad it doesnt works . Sometimes , it shows network issue , other times its able to give me the data but as soon i convert the data to JSON objet with NSJSONSerialization class , it returns nill .
Any clue on this abrupt issue ??Hi,
Are you loading the data in didFinishLaunching ??
If yes then that is the problem.
ios defines a specific time for app launch, if your app takes more than the allowed time, ios will crash the app.
Possible solution might be move the webservice call from there to some other suitable place, this will ensure that you app will launch regardless of any network issue, which can be handled later. -
IMessage across multiple devices - not working the way it should?
OK, here's the problem: I'm seeing conversations in iMessage on my iPad, but yet I'm not seeing any of those conversations on my iPod Touch.
My guess this problem exists is because I've used a different iTunes account on my iPod Touch to experiment with iMessage between my iPod Touch and iPad. I did this before I signed in with the same iTunes account as on my iPad (my primary iTunes account), but then again, I don't event know what the problem is.Hi frankct,
iMessage do work as advertise for an AppleID; i.e. all your devices will show in sync all your messages.
For this to work like this, you obviously need to login into the same account for all your devices. Go, in the settings of your iPod Touch in the Message section. There, at the bottom, tap "receive at" and you will see to which account iMessage is linked. Most probably in your case, your iPad and your iPod aren't loged into the same account.
I haven't try it you can independently log iMessage with an AppleID different than the one use for your purchase but you could try it.
If I may suggest; if you own your these two devices, you should chose one of your AppleID and use it only for now on. If you don't, you nightmare will continue while you may mix other sync iCloud info and having purchased on two accounts.
Even if you only purchase from account A from now on, you simply have to keep your devices also authorized to play your content purchased brom account B. -

I installed the latest version first. When I was done, Firefox was working great. I got off and went back on to my computer later. Firefox was not there, but the shortcut was. I got this error that the item that referred to the shortcut was no longer there. I uninstalled. I tried the beta (4) and the same exact issue occured.ryansaint11,
this isn’t Apple support; this is a user-to-user forum. We’re just fellow users of Apple products here.
If you want to boot from your SSD, then you should put the SSD where your HDD currently is, and put the HDD into the optical bay. (That setup will also get you the best performance.) At the moment, you’re still booting from your HDD. Note that you will need to format your SSD in Disk Utility [with the “Mac OS X Extended (Journaled)” format] so that you can install OS X onto it.
Since you have an Early 2011 model, it might or might not have originally come with grey installation DVDs. You will be able to find out whether it did or not by trying to use OS X Internet Recovery to install OS X onto your SSD. If it does not work, or if the installed OS turns out to be Snow Leopard, then it will have originally come with the DVDs, and you should purchase a replacement pair of DVDs from Apple or iFixit; those discs will have your MacBook Pro’s Apple Hardware Test and its iLife apps. If the installed OS turns out to be Lion, then it will not originally have come with the grey installation DVDs, and your Apple Hardware Test will be installed along with Lion, and your iLife apps will be downloadable from the Mac App Store. -
GTX 970 not working the way it should.
Hello, I bought a msi gtx 970 yesterday but it is not working good. I can not even play league of legends without stuttering. When I play on maximum settings it says 60 fps, but in fact it is stuttering. The memory clock keeps shooting up to 3506 and than goes down again, this keeps happening. When I had call of duty advanced warfare open for 10 minutes, not even being in a game, the gpu usage is 98% and the memory use is extremely high, while nothing is happening on the screen, just some menus.
All drivers are downloaded and previous drivers from my old video card are removed.
These are my pc specs.
i5 760 @ 2,8 GHz
msi gtx 970
8gb DDR3 RAM
Asustek V-P7H55E motherboard
Windows 8.1 64 bit
Hope someone can help me out.Quote from: Nichrome on 09-February-15, 22:57:36
My current 780Ti is getting bottleneck by the CPU I have.. so even worse would be if I'd have 970 or 980..
That's because yours is the T version. It's not even nearly as good as the normal 4670 or K version.
Actually, it the lowest of the versions. Even S version would be better.
With normal 4670 and 4670K you wouldn't be getting bottleneck.
Quote from: lucas-1996 on 09-February-15, 22:07:05
I have one more question. I cant really decide if I shall get the i5-4690k for my new motherboard or the i7-4790k. Is the i7 worth the 100 euro extra? I dont do things like photoshop, maybe a bit of streaming though.
What kind of cooling you have currently, or are you using stock cooler?
If you don't have sufficient cooler or are running stock cooler, you will need to invest on better cooling.
In which case, get the i5 4670K and buy a new, better cooler with that 100$.
I would recommend at least Hydro H80i if you have a free 120mm fan slot in the case.
If not, get the BeQuiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 or similar. -

I made a mistake and changed my iTunes country to Canada when I live in the U.S. I tried changing my password and doing it on the computer, but it doesn't work. What else should I do? Thanks
Try rebooting and then try it. If it continues contact iTunes store support because it may be an error inside their system.

My FaceTime doesn't work... I would call a person, they would accept, and then I would be stuck in a never ending "connecting".. And this problem has been according with not just my ipad, but with other people's iDevices that I know.
-My wifi connection is running strong
-All the devices run the same version of iOSTry this - Reset 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Tryoing to play QVR. Works on a MAC with version 7. Doesn't work the same using Version 10.
Have some .mov files that work just find on my MAC that has QVR player version 7. When I try these same files on a MAC that was recently updated automatically and has QVR version 10, the .mov doesn't work the same way. Is there a way to set parameters in version 120 to behave like version 7 or alternatively can I download version 7?
Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, or if specified as part of a custom install, or individually downloaded:
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl923
Snow Leopard update 10.6.4 included an update to 7.6.6 (if installed). You can install it from the above link even though it says for 10.6.3. It's the same version of QuickTime Player 7.6.6.
(Only QuickTime Player 7.6.3 or 7.6.6 can be updated to "Pro".)
A Mac OS X v10.6, OS X Lion, and OS X Mountain Lion-compatible version of QuickTime Player 7 is available for use with older media or with AppleScript-based workflows. QuickTime Player 7 can be used to playback formats such as QTVR, interactive QuickTime Movies, and MIDI files. Also, it supports QuickTime 7 Pro registration codes for access to QuickTime Pro functionality.

I need to sync my iphone as its damaged ( water submersion) i can't though as itunes is asking me for my passcode and my screen doesn't work, the phones on though still ringing etc ... Please help
You need to do more research before you make purchases like this. You've wasted your money. The ONLY officially unlocked iPhone model sold in the US is the GSM model, and that model is only sold by Apple. That's the model iPhone you should have purchased.
Did you read & understand my initial post? Especially this part:
The unlocking of the GSM portion is just for International travel in order to use local sims. You still have to pay Sprint for the use of their international GSM partner’s network on a “pay as you go basis”. -

Judging by all the posts on the forum, there seems to be an issue at Apple's end, although they have made no announcement on their status page. Some users have reported that Apple is aware of the issue.

Why FaceTime doesn't work in Saudi Arabia ?
why FaceTime doesn't work in Saudi Arabia ?
we have stores sell apple products some of them sell with faetime at a high rate,
and some other sell apple products without facetime at a normal price.
finaly we need apple stores in Saudi Arabia to prevent this fraud.
thank you
what you're saying here is that some people parallel import apple products around the normal channels and they are from other countries so they havent got facetime blocked
and others normally import apple products and they are blocked
and then you go on believing that if apple had a store in saudi things would be better rest asured that if they did they would sell products with facetime blocked
