Facetime not working on iPad in hotels?

When at home and connected to Internet via sky wifi messages and FaceTime work fine. When staying away and in hotels I often cannot use FaceTime or messages. Any ideas why? It's strange that Skype works!

The hotels are apparently blocking the IP ports Facetime and Messages use. You'll need to take this up with the hotels where you stay, or use public WiFi access points that don't have such blocking.
Regards.

  • Facetime not working on iPad Retina Display

    As many of the others here have posted, Facetime isn't working on my brand-new iPad. It works on my phone and on my Mac through my email address and mobile phone number, but not on the iPad.
    TEXAS MAC MAN I have already looking through the links that you are posting as a response to others who have had a similar problem, none of those suggestions work.
    I've turned Facetime on and off again a few times in General Settings, but that hasn't helped.
    Others can sometimes call me but I am unable to call out.
    Any ideas? I am so frustrated by this as a primary reason I bought it was so that I could talk to my relatives overseas through Facetime. It really stinks that Apple doesn't have this sorted out.
    Thanks!

    The only thing that I can think of is a mechanical problem.  Try inserting/removing the jack repeatedly for maybe a dozen times.
    There is one other thought but it would stop the sound completely - with and without earphones/earbuds.  If that's the case, I'll elaborate.

  • Facetime not working on iPad 2 and Mac Version

    Regards to all the members of the community.
    I just bought an iPad 2 and wanted to facetime with my dad (Different locations, both on iPads). However as my dad dialed I did not get the iPad 2 to ring or notify me of an incoming call. Oddlt when I called him, his iPad did ring but when he answered, while his iPad tried to connect, mine kept ringing and ringing and ringing...
    So I tried facetime from my iPhone to his iPad and viceversa, and it worked like a charm. Then on the mac and I had the same issued that on the iPad 2. My apple ID is working and I have 3 email addresses verified and linked to it (.mac, .me and .gmail). This is very odd and would like to see if you guys could help me out.
    Oh and before any of you tells me to turn Facetime on on the iPado or to visit the "Using iPad" link, beleive me I've already have and there are no answers regarding this issue. There are other discussions on the forums talking about the same issue. So can an apple Rep please see to this as soon as possible?
    Thanks.

    Joe-
    I suspect there are some serious kinks to be addressed in Facetime. I too bought ipad2 and have gone around and around for hours trying to connect just to my iMac (after buying the FT app for it). None of the tech help worked, it always goes on to 'oh, it must be your firewall or something. I finally called tech help and he just sent me more links, which I wasted more time on. Each device wouuld show my face, dial the other device, NOT connect, or say the other was busy. THEN, I thought, oh, each device must use a different email address, so it won't 'be busy'. Nothing.  After an hour of going back and forth, turning off firewalls and the Symantic firewall, etc. I gave up. Each device would only show my face on it, but not broadcast one to the other. It's funny how easy it was to get Skype, dial a number and be talking to someone in Europe minutes later, no problem! Why is FT so arcane and complicated?? I thought Apple stuff was susposed to be easy and intuitve?? Obviously not anymore. God, this is as bad as trying to set up a new router.

  • FaceTime not working on iPad

    I have an iPad 2 and got a bit of an issue. I added my account and verified it to use FaceTime, everything is connected, Internet and all but whenever I ring anyone, it seems like its ringing but no one is actually receiving my calls....even my girlfriend tried ringing me but I am receiving nothing.....FaceTime is activated on settings, I have looked at everything a million times but still not working...... Would appreciate the help

    Excuse me if this is duh stuff, but. 
    Check restrictions, and make sure you have not restricted face time.
    Is your volume up? 
    When they call you, does the screen light up?  There are other reports of not ringing, and I don't know if those ever got resolved, but the complaints have certainly slowed down.
    When you call them, are they folks that can receive a face time call?  Many folks have multiple contact numbers, e mail vs phone number, and some, multiple e mail addresses.  Are you calling the right one?
    Calls in either direction, do the machine show that you have missed a call?

My ipad is currently connected to my home network and everything else works on the ipad apart from these 2 programs which both come up with the same error".

  • Imessages and facetime not working on ipad 3 mini since update to 8.3

    brand new ipad 3 mini i-messages and facetime was working until update to IOS 8.3. can anyone help. I've restored ipad and set up as new but still same.

    If none of this suggestions help, you are in the same boat a bunch of us are in! We all have newish devices (mostly iPad mini 3) and suddenly can't get into FaceTime or Messages. There's no slider and the sign in just dumps us back to sign in or gives a network error message.
    If that's what's happening, it's probably an AppleID problem. Mine isn't working for FaceTime or Messages on any iPad, but my friend's works on mine. If you go to page 18, you will see what we've tried after 8.2 upgrade

  • IMessage & FaceTime Not Working on iPad after iOS 6.0.1 update?

    I have an iPad 16GB 3rd Generation and whenever I try to sign in with my Apple ID to Messages and FaceTime it pops up with "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again." I have tried so many things for this including resetting my network settings and creating a new Apple ID but my wifi connection works perfectly fine on safari etc but not on iMessage and FaceTime. Please Help?

    Tried that already. It doesn't work.
    The problem isn't that the app is frozen, it just blinks, then closes when you attempt to launch it.
    Thank you for the suggestion, though. I appreciate your willingness to help.
    I may try restoring my iPad tomorrow.

  • FaceTime not working on Ipad Mini

    Hi. Hoping someone cn help. Currently travelling in Asia. My Ipad Mini has stopped working with FaceTime. Have been in communication with home for months with no issue and suddenly it will not answer or dial out. Simply gives a busy signal!!!.  Will ring on inbound or outbound but soon as answer it changes to busy tone...
    Have tried to download and upgrade the IOS update but this also fails........my partner also has one with separate ID and hers also has stopped working although only a few months old...so the certificate issue I heard about expiring is a load of twaddle....
    Was always a Samsung freak until I got this piece of kit, loved the the way the ipad works until now... Now very frustrated as lost communication with family..
    Anywone can help would much appreciate it.........

    Hello Sstrangways,
    It sounds like FaceTime is not functioning correctly all of a sudden and you cannot talk to your family anymore. I get how frustrating that can be, so lets try a few things. These steps to start with from the following article:
    iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3367
    Update both devices (your device and your friend's device) to the latest version of iOS.
    If you started to have issues making or receiving FaceTime calls after April 16, 2014, you or your friend may have an expired device certificate. Updating both devices will resolve this issue.
    Verify that FaceTime is enabled in Settings > FaceTime.
    If the issue persists or if you see the message "Waiting for Activation," turn FaceTime off and then on again. Learn what to do if you can't activate FaceTime.
    If you don't see the FaceTime setting, make sure that Camera and FaceTime aren't disabled in Settings > General > Restrictions.
    Verify that the date and time are set correctly: Tap Settings > General > Date & Time and turn on Set Automatically.
    Verify that both parties have an active Internet connection and are connected to a Wi-Fi network or a cellular data connection.
    Restart your device.
    If using FaceTime over a Wi-Fi network, go to the steps to resolve Wi-Fi network issues.
    If issues persist, try quitting all the running apps on the device:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

  • 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.

    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.

  • TS4268 Iphone 4 (Verizon) version 6.1.3 - FaceTime not working

    Hi, I have an issue with facetime not working on my iphone 4.  It worked fine until a few weeks ago.  I have done a "soft restart" (power & home button) on the iphone. I have signed out of facetime and imesage, and then signed back in. I have checked the settings, and everything looks like it's right.  The phone number has a checkmark next to it, but is greyed out under "You can be reached by FaceTime at:", but I read that it's normal. The imessage works fine.  I do have an ipad air on the same apple ID, could that be it? but it was fine before.  I just got the iphone 4 replaced at the Apple store via warranty, because the front facing camera was acting up.  What else can I check? What else can be wrong? I do not want to update to the IOS 7.1, because the Iphone 4 will lag in IOS 7.1 update.

    There have been a large number of recent reports in the last few days regarding FaceTime. Here is one discussion https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6096640?tstart=0
    Note that there are several mentions of the iOS version but many are also reporting the problem even after updating.

  • FaceTime stopped working on iPad 2

    FaceTime not working on my iPad 2,  it worked yestday but now it doesn't it doesn't.  I have a white  number 1 in a red circle but when I hit the FaceTime icon it pops up and remains black, no contacts, no pictures ...nothing.  Just a black screen.

    I call his email to get his iPad and he has tried both calling me from his iPad. When he calls me the call comes through but when I answe it just keeps saying connecting on my end. On his end it shows it was never answered. When I call him it just rings on his end and doesn't give him the option to answer. He would not even know I was trying to FaceTime him if I didn't tell him.

  • Printer not working following iPad uodate

    Printer not working following iPad upgrade

    Hi,
    Is the printer not mechanically working or are you having a problem with printing wirelessly from your device? Was the upgrade to the ipad software or did you get a new ipad?
    Try restarting your apple device - It's a simple fix that sometimes helps re-establish the connection to the printer.
    Other things to check would be that there have been no recent changes to the wifi password.

  • 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.

  • Flash Variable is not working in Ipad

    Hi Experts,
    I'm facing with an issue, could you please suggest me your valuable suggestions.
    I have created Two dashboard (Example names A1 and B1), I need to open the dashboard B1 without asking credentials, when I select an Image in A1.
    To work in such a way, I have created a flash variable and pointed the range to cell J1.
    I have placed a URL button on top of image in Dashboard A1. I have copied following URL in a cell, and this URL I have pointed to URL Button.
    URL= (="../../../Xcelsius/opendoc/documentDownload?iDocID=M1TVABCADjs2AHoAlg123AAgoBpgwAAAA&sIDType=CUID&CELogonToken="&J1)
    Opening B1 dashboard from A1 is working fine in desktop and in Android tab, but it is not working in Ipad. Not working in Ipad in the sense a new browser window is opening with empty page.
    I have tested in another way like, passing opendocID and Flash variable to the URL button, It is working fine in Ipad but asking for the credentials.
    Experts could you please suggest me some solution.
    Ipad is Ipad2 and BO Version is 4.1 SP4.
    Thanks & Regards
