FaceTime not working - makes skype fail as well

Hi there,
I have an iPod Touch 4th Gen running iOS 4.2.1 and it is absoulutely brilliant up until FaceTime.
Whenever I try call my friend, her iPod touch never gets the call notification or the missed call in the call log. However, when she tries to call me, I get the notification and the call log entry, but everytime I answer it it just says 'connecting' and then it says 'xxx is not available for FaceTime'. Also whenever I call her or she calls me, our iPods stuff up and skype calls also fail. Confused!!!!!!

FaceTime works perfectly on my iPod touch.
Have a look at the FaceTime Support here: http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/
If you cannot get it working, use the "Contact Support" options listed there.

FaceTime not working on my Macbook Pro. I am able to sign in successfully and add contacts. When I try to call a contact with an iPhone, its connecting then fails. When someone try to FaceTime me,I try to access but it says connecting then fail

FaceTime not working on my Macbook Pro. I am able to sign in successfully and add contacts. When I try to call a contact with an iPhone, it says connecting then fails by ending automatically. When someone try to FaceTime me,I accept but it says connecting then fail. I only have a MacBook Pro to FaceTime and not an iPhone. I was informed that I should be able to FaceTime from my laptop via video call without an iPhone.
Please advise.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
1. The purpose of this test is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The "Guest User" login created by "Find My Mac" is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
2. Connect to a different network, such as a public Wi-Fi hotspot, and try again.

TS3367 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 in iOS7

Hi,
I upgraded my iPhone 4 to iOS7 on Sept 18 by downloading it directly to my phone. I backed up my iPhone the night before in case something went wrong, but it all seemed to go pretty smoothly by the time I finally managed to download and install it. When my iPhone turned back on everything was in the proper place (eg. all my apps and settings were still there) but I started having issues with iMessage and Facetime.
iMessage: According to my friends my iMessage was apparently starting multiple threads with people (each from a different email address/phone number linked to my iCloud) but that issue seems to have resolved and messages are being sent normally, from one source.
Facetime: The main problem that I'm still having is that my Facetime is not working and has not since I upgraded. At first it was not even calling people (I was getting the message "Facetime Failed"). I then followed the instructions I found online (eg. http://www.imore.com/having-trouble-imessage-or-facetime-ios-7-heres-how-fix-it) and tried to reset my Facetime settings. I did a hard reset on my iPhone (holding down both buttons at once until it shut off). I also tried to reset the network settings through the General Settings tab. Sometime after trying some of those fixes I switched from getting the "Facetime Failed" message to having a different problem- whenever I would call someone or they would call me and the call would get answered, we would forever get stuck on the "connecting" screen until someone would end the call. I then restored my phone to factory settings (it redownloaded iOS7 to my computer and installed from there via USB cable) and restored from my backup. I was really hopeful that it would work but I ended up in the exact same place (never getting past "connecting"). I then attempted another iPhone restore but this time I tested Facetime BEFORE I restored by backup. This time Facetime worked. However, when I restored the backup I went back to having the same problem again. I have tried to "Reset all settings" but that doesn't do anything at all to improve the situation.
Bottom Line: Since downloading iOS7 I have been having issues with Facetime that resolve when I do a hard erase and restore on my phone but then occur again as soon as I restore from my backup. At first when I downloaded the iOS directly on my phone I was getting the "Facetime Failed" message, but since I have done hard restores on my phone it is now "connecting" forever. On one hand I know I could solve this issue by just starting with iOS from scratch and not installing my backup, but I don't want to lose my photos, messages and personal data from the phone. Is there any other way around the issue? Is there some way to repair the backup or to install some parts of it (the data) but not others? I tried using the program iPhone Backup Extractor but apparently my backup is encrypted and the program can't deal with encrypted files on a Mac (I'm on a MacBook Pro).
Please let me know if you have any ideas or if you have questions about what happened! I really don't want to waste any more time on this than I already have. Plus, I'm super upset because I was one of the people with grandfathered push on my Gmail account via Microsoft Exchange and that seems to have disappeared with the upgrade.
Thanks.

Ok so I resolved it. I set up the iPhone from new and did NOT restore from backup. I added the apps etc back on manually.
FaceTime worked perfectly. So I made a new backup.
I then restored from my previous backup just to check if FaceTime might work and it failed again.
Tried restore backup from PC and from iCloud - neither worked.
I went back to my new backup and restored - perfect.
My advice. Set up as new iPhone. It's a pain but not as much as not having FaceTime.

Apple fix this please. ive been waiting for too long....

Speakers not working for Skype only on Windows 8.1

My speakers or headphones are not working for Skype desktop but work fine for any music or videos or other programms. Any help to resolve it? in Tools>Options>Audio Settings> headphones does not show up. Everything was working fine but it just happend a day before., i havent installed any program that could make problem.

This is very strange because, as you are saying this happened without any change to any software on your computer. I suggest the following:
1. To help the team analyze the issue, provide logs as described in this link under Skype for Windows Desktop and attach it to your post.
2. As an interim solution you can try using a virtual audio device that will be a middle man between skype and your physical audio device.

Freezing mac and facetime not working

my facetime is not working and sometimes(once in a week) my mac freezing and after 4 seconds is rebootin itself..why is that happening?

Sometimes turning off then on the service in settings will fix the problem. Go into 'Settings > Messages' and swipe the iMessage switch 'OFF' and swipe it 'ON' again. Tap on "Received At" and make sure the correct Apple ID is entered or enter your Apple ID if prompted. You then want to ensure in the same menu that all the desired addresses are entered.
Perform the same task for FaceTime. Open 'Settings > FaceTime' and swipe the FaceTime switch 'OFF' and swipe it 'ON' again. Make sure that the Apple ID entered is correct or enter your Apple ID if prompted. Again check that all the addresses you want to be reached at are correctly entered and verified.
If the above does not work, make sure that your email addresses ARE NOT registered with a different Apple ID. Hope this helps!

My Isight is not working on skype and yahoo messenger but works on photobooth and ichat

My Isight is not working on skype and yahoo messenger but works on photobooth and ichat.
Ive reset my SMC and PMU but it still does not work. Only black screen appears on skype with a loading sign that takes so long. The light signal on the cam doesnt turn on as well which indicates that it is really not working.

Regarding Skype, post in the Mac Skype forums on Skype's website. It's where all the Mac Skype users hang out.
Regarding Yahoo, contact its customer tech support department.

FaceTime not working for mac

my FaceTime not working?

Here are some suggestions for getting the best results from this site.
Create a user profile that accurately reflects the type of hardware you're using and your version of OS X, or include that information in your first message.
Give details of the problem. A remark such as "X doesn't work" conveys no useful information. If X did work, you wouldn't be here. Instead, you should post something like this: "I did A; I expected B; but I got C." Include the complete, verbatim text of any error messages you saw, and specify where you saw them: in an application window, a CrashReporter window, a log, or whatever.
Also describe the steps you’ve taken yourself, if any, to try to resolve the issue. If the problem is of recent origin, did you make any changes to your setup just before you first noticed it? Is the problem reproducible or intermittent? That is, does it always manifest itself when you take a certain action, or only at unpredictable times?
Before posting, ask yourself whether it’s likely that you are the the only person ever to have had this problem. If not, search the discussions for answered questions similar to yours. If you found any pertinent information, but it didn't help, give details.

Isight not working in Skype

Not only is my brand new Macbook Pro 17 inch iSight camera previewing me in vibrant magenta (go figure) it's not working in Skype. The audio is working but now video, just my picture is showing. I need help as to why my camera isn't previewing in real colors nor is it working in Skype. HELP!!!

It's possible that the camera is defective, but first I would try "resetting" it by zapping the parameter RAM by holding down the Command-Option-p-r keys at startup until you hear the startup chime ring three times.
In Skype, you need to be sure you are using the latest Skype Beta software for Mac, version 2.0.0.3:

If you like, you can try connecting to me with iChat at [email protected] or with Skype at jawestonskype or jawestonskype2.
