Facetime says "Connecting..." then "Connection Lost"

Several weeks ago, FaceTime suddenly stopped working.
When I call out or someone calls in, it says "Connecting..." at the bottom, and then shortly after that "Connection Lost" and the call ends.
I didn't change my router, iOS, phone or anything else that seemed important.
I backed up my phone and tried to start over as a new phone.  FaceTime worked.  yay!
I then restored from backup.  FaceTime no longer works.
I tried "Reset All Settings".  FaceTime still does not work.
Is there any way to get FaceTime working again other than manually trying to recreate all of the settings in my backup?

  • When I try and make a FaceTime call, it always says, 'Connection Lost'. Help?

    I was trying to FacceTime my friend and it was the usual screen that you get when you recieve a FaceTime call. I hit 'Accept' and it says connecting but, it always ends up saying, 'Connection Lost' or 'FaceTime Failed'. When I try and FaceTime them back it says connecting but again, says 'Connection Lost' or 'FaceTime Failed'. And help on what to do?

    There have been numerous reports of FaceTime connection issues for the last few days and it is unclear what the cause is. Following is one of many discussions of the issue: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6096640?start=120&tstart=120

  • Why does FaceTime keep saying "connection lost" when we both have full bars on our wifi?

    Why does FaceTime keep saying "connection lost" when we both have full bars on our wifi? My friend in Texas has tried to call my via FaceTime but for some reason, every time she does, it keeps saying "connection lost" when we both have full bars on our wifi. Keep in mind, I am from Nebraska so we have the same time zone and I have an iPod 4 while she has a iPhone of some sort but that shouldn't matter because I am still able to FaceTime my friend in California, which is two hours behind me. So, I guess I just want to know why I cannot reach my friend in Texas. Please, someone help me!

  • While calling on Facetime , it does not connect , it says connection lost

    While i calling on facetime, it does not connect , it says connection lost all the time

    After trying everything, here,s what worked to me: go to settings - facetime, and when it asks how you want to be reached on facetime, uncheck the icloud email option.  Hope it works!

  • Facetime keeps say "connection lost"

    Hi,
    I have been facetiming ( if this is even a word)  a friend in America for the last year but recently when i have been trying to call, it hasnt been working properly. originally it would ring ( like i was trying to make a phone call) but now when i try to start a call, it merely says "connection lost",try again. 
    also it takes ages for an Imessage to send, and for some reason it will not allow me to send an Imessage to my american friend?
    I would really appreciate any advice you can give me on this topic!
    thanks

    ( my ipod is less than a year old ( it was the newest version at this time and it is still under its warranty) and is using the IOS 6 software)

  • My FaceTime keeps saying connection lost

    My face time was working this morning but now every time I try to call someone it keeps saying connection lost

    I Just checked on four of iPhone 5s and MacBook Air and all of them are saying that connection lost.

    Buy there is no information on apple website as usual.
