Facetime not working between wifi ipads
Hi please help...
I have 2 wifi ipad2. Facetime between those ipads used to work fine, but slowly the connection got spotty, and now it does not work at all.
When trying to call via FT, you can see the other side only as a freeze frame, not audio pass through at all. Sometimes it will just say fail.
Any one have experience with this problem.
Any suggestions? please?
Thanks!

It sounds like you are having a problem with the WiFi link(s). For each iPad, unplug the WiFi router for a few seconds. Then reset the iPad's network. Go to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings. You will need to reconnect the iPad to WiFi. (If both iPads use the same WiFi router, you only need to unplug it once.)

FaceTime not working on my ipad. Also iPlayer on the ipad tells me insufficient bandwidth and so I presume it is the same problem. However, iPlayer is working well on my Apple laptop and desktop. Any suggestions.
From what I read, this issue is affecting mostly users with iOS 6 installed on their devices. If you are able, upgrade to iOS 7. My mom called me yesterday with the same issue, upgraded, then it worked fine for her.
If you are not able to upgrade, you'll probably have to wait for Apple to fix whatever is affecting iOS 6. -

FaceTime not working on supervised iPads
Hello,
I have set up some iPad Airs for work using the Apple Configurator (ver 1.4.3). In the profile that I created, under 'Restrictions' I enabled both 'Allow Use of Camera' and 'Allow FaceTime,' however the FaceTime app is not working on the iPads. I get an error that says 'Account Restriction This iPad is restricted from creating FaceTime accounts.'
What gives? Can anyone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!Abpd08-

We have one apple I'd with multiple devices and FaceTime will not work between them?
Put separate email addresses (free gmail) on each device.

I cannot get FaceTime to work between my new iPad and my iMac any ideas?
I cannot get FaceTime to work between my 3rd Generation IPad and iMac, any ideas?
Not exactly sure about the iMac cause I don't have one. But the email being used on the iPad is at
Settings > FaceTime > You can be Reached for Video Calls at
Below that line there is an Apple ID which is the primary email address being used by the iPad. You can make changes there to change the email address. -

iCloud Synchronization not working between iPad first gen 5.1.1 & iPhone 4S 6.0.1?
I can see the acknowledgement that this issue will be fixed in the 'next' software update. Considering the original post was for an iPad 2 running 5.0.1, I am not sure if this issue on iOS 5.1 which runs on my new iPad (4G) is considered fixed. As I reported in my previous post it is impossible to update individual tracks. I also tried adding entire collection to a single playlist, shuffling the playlist. While shuffle is in progress, turning to the 'list' view that allows tracks to be rated does who the currently shuffled playlist and the currently playing track and assigns the rating to the track correctly. However, as soon as the second track plays, switching to list view (which displays the ratings) lists only the tracks from the currently playing track's album. Which is insane IMHO.
So, was this not fixed with 5.1 update? Or the iOS 5.1 will get it's own piece of update on this? -
Hi, the FaceTime just did not work between my mom and I. It used to work weeks ago, but now it does not work after showing"connecting". I feel frustrated and try all the method I can think of. Still do not work. Hope u can help me. Thanks!
Was it just this one time? Could be that you, or your mom, were experiencing network problems. Try again at a later time.

Certain wifi's will not work on my iPad, it shows it's connected but will not connect.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

Keyboard dictation function not working with wifi
very curious thing happening. the 'mic' icon activated dictation function
is not working in wifi mode on my iphone at home. you get the dancing
balls and no text ever appears. in 4g mode dictation works fine. wifi seems to be working
ok. dictation on my wifi only ipad is ok. only tried this at home but since
wifi seems to work ok i have no reason to believe
that wifi is the issue.I tried rebooting mine twice and it didn't work. I disabled Siri, then enabled Siri and it worked temporarily. I had to repeat disable/enable of Siri serval times over the course of the day, seemingly at least an hour apart before it seemed to work. Even now there seems to be a bit of a lag between when I speak and when it types, but it does work finally.

HT203782 Airplay is not working between ipad2/iphone5
Airplay is not working between ipad2/iphone5 and apple TV2. When I try to use airplay with my iPad 2 or ipad5, I can hear it, but the video won't show. I even tried to just mirror the screens and still nothing. It does work with my macbook air. I've tried resetting everything with no success. What should I do?
Are you sure the site you are trying to view isn't blocking AirPlay.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.
If you are still having problems, the following article(s) may help you.
