Facetime on ios 6

According the to April 16 article you need to have iOS 7 or 6.1.6 for factime now.  What is 6.1.6 on?  My ipad2, mini & iPod 5 all are still at 6.1.3.  Can I get it upgraded to 6.1.6 without ending up with 7?

no - you will need to go to the current version.
The negatives, imo are way overblown,  my upgrade was fine.

  • Is FaceTime on iOS 6 worse than on iOS 5?

    Is there something I can do to improve the performance of Facetime on iOS 6 on my iPhone 4S and iPad 3? I have noticed that FaceTime’s performance on iOS has visibly worsened. Video quality in FaceTime is poorer than before. Plus—for the same Internet bandwidth as before on both ends of the line—the screen goes black with the “Reconnecting” message every few seconds.

    Hmm. Of all the people that I mentioned this to, nobody seems to be having this problem. But I am facing it every single time! 

  • Major Bug FaceTime in iOS 7 with 2 devices

    I have 2 iPhone 5 devices one is work one is my personal one, each has its own phone number and its own Apple ID (Not Shared Between The 2) in iOS 7 now whenever someone facetimes me because the 2 numbers come under the same contact card both phones ring as there is no option to choose which number to call it just calls all that persons possible phone numbers/email addresses.
    This is really annoying and we tested this last night if we remove my work number and email from the contact card then only my personal one rings.
    I cant imagine i am the only person with this issue and whilst the contact card could be split out and have my work details seperate whats the point of having all someones details under one contact.
    Incredibly annoying and causing a problem as I like to keep my work & Personal phone seperate hence the 2 Apple ID's.

    Problem here too. I'm getting face timed on all my devices even though I have the " you can be reached by facetime at" with different number and email address.  It would be nice if Apple gave users the choice to what facetime we would like to call.  Wonder why they took it out for this update.  Someone help please

  • TS3367 Facetime help iOS 7

    My daughter and I have our own  iPads and iPhones with a separate Apple ID and email but her friends facetime her and it comes up on all devices since we upgraded to iOS 7. Why? I don't want her facetime or messages on my devices

    OK, on all of your devices check the following:
    Settings>FaceTime>You can be Reached At: make sure that only her email address is listed on her devices and only your email address is listed on yours.
    Settings>Messages>Send & Receive: make sure that only her email address is showing on her devices and only your email address is showing on yours.

    HELP
    Thanks

    searching to no service to service to searching to no service to service...
    todays date (in case you missed it) ... 12-22-2011
    I did NOTHING to change my iPhone4.  I was literally at work from 12:00 noon to 9:00pm. 
    All of a sudden, at 5:00pm, my iPhone4 decides it needs to constantly goto "searching" then to "no service" then back to "searching" then to "AT&T [5 Bars] 3G", then back to "searching" to "No Service" to ... you get the idea...
    It continued with no end in sight.
    Once home, after 4 hours of having a useless iPhone4 for 4 useless hours, I (to my wife's dismay) went to my home office to research if anyone else had a problem with this.  Mind you, I had latest Apple iOS 5.0.1...
    FFWD 3 hours later. 
    I found the post before my current post.  (by Shaun00013)  It lead me to hope (not believe) that if I used iTunes to do a backup of my iPhone4, then "Restore to factory defaults", then Restore iPhone from backup that my problem would be solved...
    ... (yes, I know i use too many "..."  so don't mention it!)
    Now that I've done the backup / restore factory defaults / restore from backup: problem solved.
    ... [  :-)  ]  It's been 30 minutes with no repeat of my original issue!  YAAY!
    This whole experience reminds me of a corrupted windows installation.  I didn't realize Apple iOS had the same issue...
    I don't know if someone sent me an email with an iPhone virus ( is that even possible?!)  Or if my iOS just shat itself... but I know this post lead me to fixing my issue.
    Hope this post of mine helps you too. If it does, sign in with your AppleID and tell us about it.  Then, the next poor helpless iPhone owner experiencing this issue will find this post faster through Google.
    Gnite!  Hopefully I won't be back to this site anytime soon...
    ...  :-D

  • HT204380 My apple ID doesn't work with FaceTime after IOS 6 update

    Once I updated my IPAD to IOS 6 , my apple ID stopped working with FaceTime and iMessage
    Every time I enter the password, it says that apple Id is not matching
    I am sure that it is the right one, I checked it in iCloud and iTunes, it is working well.  

    Something as simple as your method of payment having expired could be causing your problems. Use the link below to check all info, especially your payment info, for your Apple ID.

  • Microphone not working FaceTime after iOS update.

    Hello everyone.  First post here.
    I just updated to the newest version of iOS, and my microphone is no longer working.  On Facetime, I can see/hear my family but they can't hear me.
    Note: I tested with recording something with QuickVoice and the microphone works perfectly.  It's just on FaceTime that it's not working.
    Any tips?

  • Bad connection using facetime with ios 7

    when i use facetime its really bad connection keeps feezing since updating to ios 7 on my ipad mini was never like this before i have fibre broadband so its not my internet as that is super fast i have also noticed that the new update is very slow and sluggish when using certain features has anyone else experienced this

    I know you can't restore a backup with ios7 and Find My Ipad turned on. I would first set it to Never update device, an don't restore backup and see if that will allow you apply the profile. If that doesn't work. I'd do a complete wipe of the device, prepare it again and then try to install the profile.

    contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.

  • Ipad air cant sign in imessage and facetime for ios 8.1.2

    Hi
    Before I make this topic, I read a lot of topics about the same problem as mine and I cant fine any solution. So my problem is: after updating to 8.1.2 for my ipad air, I have to sign in my imessage and facetime again and it says: "Imessage or Facetime activation. An error occurred during activation. Try again."
    What I have done is
         _ Set Date&Time automatically,
         _ Set My info to my contact number
         _ Reset network setting
         _ Sign out icloud and sign in again
         _ Sing out apple ID and sign in again
    So, is there any way to fix the problem now or we have to wait from the engineers?
    Thank you

  • Is there a way to block calls on FaceTime on IOS Mavericks?

    i Keep getting unsolicited calls on my macbook air  is there a way to stop them like blocking them as you can on IOS

    No.  FaceTime on Mac does not provide such a blocking capability.

  • Has anyone else noticed the lack of sound quality with FaceTime in iOS 6, over wifi?

    FT has lost much of its fidelity. It gates out all the noise, which I'm sure is supposed to be better, but now it's more like like a cell phone call. Sure the warmth of sound is better, but it cuts off breaths and sighs. All the things that make it so great when talking to your kids and family when traveling on the road.
    If this was the cost of getting FT over 3G, it's not worth it.

    Hi there, I have the same issue with FaceTime an ios6. When using it with iPhone 4 and 4s, the sound quality has decreased when compared to ios5. Background white noise is now reduced but low volume sounds (such as sights and whispers) are cut out too.
    This is qualitatively not an improvement, and much of the warmth of former talks using FaceTime is now gone.
    I do really hope there will be an answer from apple's side soon.
    Cheers
