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.

Have you tried re-booting your WiFi router ? It may seem OK on your PC, but a re-boot may help.

FaceTime stopped working around 12th April 2014.
I have an iphone 4 iOS 7.0.3 and FaceTime stopped working around 12th April 2014. This is the same for other members of my family (using another iphone 4, an iphone 4s and an iPad). As soon as FaceTime connects it drops the call immediately. Does anyone else have this issue?
Read through this Apple article on how to correct this problem.

IMessage and FaceTime stops working in iMac after carrier change
Hi all,
I have done a fair bit of googling and had a look at the discussion history here but couldn't find a solution to my problem. Apology if it has been raised and discussed before and I woud appreciate being re-directed to the thread.
I have got iMessage and Face Time running smoothly on my iPad 2 wi-fi, iphone 4S and iMac OX 10.8.4. However, on the day of my changing carrier (17/09/2013), iMessage and FaceTime stopped working on my iMac as well as iPad 2. It can longer recieve or send messages or receive or make Face Time calls. All the settings looked the same - tick mark next to both my Apple ID email and mobile number, and conversation has always been set to start from mobile number on all devices. iMessage and FaceTime continue to work on iphone 4S without any issues. New sim card but same mobile number. I don't worry too much about the iPad. I just want to make it work again on my iMac and appreciate any help anyone can offer.
Steps I have attempted to make iMessage work again (I left Face Time turned off on iphone and iMac during this time)
0) I disabled/removed Bonjour (GTalk) in iMessage setting in iMac
1) I have turned off iMessage and FaceTime on all devices and swtiched iMessage only back on in iphone 4S first and then iMac. I got the message on my iphone that the iMac will start using the mobile number and Apple ID to send iMessages. However, iMac still fails to send or receive messages.
2) I have updated Apple ID on the web (removed the phone number, saved, and then re-entered phone number assoicated with Apple ID). Then repeat #1
3) I have tried changing "start new conversation from Apple ID email" across all devices - did not resolve anything
4) I have added a friend's Apple ID in iMessage on my iMac -mobile number automatically appeared and tick marks for both her mobile and Apple ID email but unable to send or recieve messages still while it continues to work from her iphone
5) I have also done a PRAM reset - I got the 2 chimes - did not resolve the issue
There's a clear trigger for this problem - change of carrier but I don't understand why it is affecting the iMac (and ipad) but not the iphone itself. Does anyone have any ideas what I can do about it?
Thanks for your help in advance.Hi,
At the OS X 10.8.2 update things regarding the iMessages Account's login were changed.
It now requires that the Mac's Serial Number is held in the Memory for it on the Logic Board.
It can get missed in Refurbishments and Repairs.
This is used to generate the Auth-Token for your Apple ID in the Keychain.
Go to Application/Utilities and open Keychain Access.
In the Login Keychain look for "IDS: (Your Apple ID)-AuthToken"
Double clicking this will open the Info Panel.
Check the Access tab and make sure it is either allowing Any App or lists Messages, IMCore and those in this pic.
Although it is know that the Mac has to list the Serial Number it is not clear if other info is needed.
It is possible that it also refers to your Public IP address in some way, this would seem unlikely as most people's ISP issued IP address is from a DHCP server - you basically keep the same IP as you are "Always On" between the router and the ISP but it can change.
If it is not allowing access then change the settings.
There are also two .plists that contain the word imessages
One of these refers to the server you connect to.
com.apple.imservice.iMessage.plist contains the Info you have in the Preferences of Messages (Apple ID, Linked iPhone Numbers and any additional emails)
com.apple.imessage.bag.plist contains which server at iMessages you connect to.
I would try deleting (drag to Trash) the second of these and then restarting Messages.
If that does not work Quit Messages and delete the AuthToken for your Apple ID (if the AuthToken appeared to be allowing access above.)
Restart Messages.

Out of no where facetime stopped working on my iphone 4. Ive tried resetting/restarting my phone as well as the router! I feel like an idiot for not being able to figure this out! Anyone have any ideas as to how to fx this?!
There are a few other threads with people having identical issues. It might be an Apple problem - just wait it out a bit to see if it resolves itself.

My Facetime stopped working on my iPhone after i bought a macbook pro
Hi,
I have an iPhone and my FaceTime worked ok in it but, after i bought a macbook pro and set up my Facetime on this, Facetime stopped working on both.
can anybody help me with this?
appliances:
- iPhone 5 - IOS 8.2
- Mac Book pro - Yosemite 10.10.2Hi, Matheus Cassimiro.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are unable to make FaceTime calls via your Mac or your iPhone. Here are the best two articles that I would recommend going through for this issue.

HT204380 facetime stopped working
Suddenly, FaceTime stopped working on both my computer (I have a Mac Air) and my iPhone4.
Any ideas why this might have happened?FACETIME ISSUES
Devices capable of running iOS 7 must be upgraded to iOS 7.0.4 or later, while devices unable to run iOS 7, such as the fourth-generation iPod touch, must upgrade to iOS 6.1.6.
If you started to have issues making or receiving FaceTime calls after April 16, 2014, your device or your friend's device may have encountered a bug resulting from a device certificate that expired on that date. Updating both devices to the latest software will resolve this issue.
If you're using iOS 7.0.4 or later or iOS 6.1.6, this issue doesn't affect you.
If you're using these versions of OS X or FaceTime for Mac, this issue doesn't affect you:
- OS X Mavericks v10.9.2 or later
- OS X Mountain Lion v10.8 with the latest security updates
- OS X Lion v10.7 with the latest security updates
- FaceTime for Mac version 1.0.5 or later for Mac OS X v10.6
While FaceTime does work with iOS 6.1.6, that particular update is not available to recent devices that are able to run iOS 7, which means iOS 6 users with newer devices who wish to access FaceTime must upgrade to iOS 7. Read http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5419 -
TS3367 FaceTime stopped working
I'm running iOS 6 on an ipad3 my FaceTime stopped working. I can turn it on and off in settings but when I open the app it wants me to turn FaceTime on but won't allow me to do so. When I have it turned on in setting or off this continues to happen. I've been using FaceTime up until I upgraded to iOS 6.

HT204380 Iphone 4 facetime stopped working 3 weeks ago
IPhone 4 facetime stopped working 3 weeks ago, followed all possible FAQ and ideas posted and recommended by Apple, still not luck.
Hi again,
I tried flushing the phone to its original settings and that didn't solve the problem either... so I decided to call the Apple support.... and I received this, somewhat incredible, response.
First they've told me that my hardware warranty expired 39 days ago, and that I lost the right to have free help from their hotline 90 days after buying the iPhone. Having said so the asked me to explain the problem, which I did, and then operator looked into the support database to find a possible solution.
Once she'd found what she tought would solve my problem, she offered two possible options:
Give back Apple the phone for repairing at the cost of 210 Euros - basically no repairing would be done, just replacing the phone by a new one: I said no to this for two reasons. First, I don't want to pay half the price of the phone for something that might be solved via a firmware update (the hardware works!) and second, because I also had a hardware problem with my old iPhone that was replaced and later on I found out that it had been re-sold by Apple to a third person WITHOUT FLUSHING MY PERSONAL DATA! Living proof of it is that this person managed to contact me on my personal email address to ask me on how to configure her email account!
Try to apply the steps she had just found in the support database but, and this part is just hilarious.... she wouldn't give me that info for free! I had to pay 35 Euro to have it as I had lost my free-on-the-phone help privileges....***!
I don't know why, but I expected a bit more from Apple... been a Mac user (two mac book pro's, 3 iphones, 1 ipod...) for a long time now and was about to buy a Mac Mini in the next days... I guess Samsung just found themselves a new customer.
Cheers,

facetime stopped working on mad. says "failed". works fine on phone and new mini. tried all the troubleshooting, added a unique email to the mac facetime, nothing seems to work. just keeps saying "facetime failed". any ideas???
I Got the same problem. When you change the output to internal speakers again facetime works again in the mac.
I think it may be some kind of incompatibility with the current driver. I used in the past the old tascam Us-122 and worked well but its driver don't work more for the mountain lion system so i bought this newest one.
When i used the old one I could use the volume keys on the mac keyboard to control output volume; now with the us-322 when hearing music you can control volume just from the tascam. -

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

When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

I have always used FaceTime without any issues on my MacBook Pro as well as my iPad and iPhone. Suddenly FaceTime on my MacBook Pro has stopped working and it is asking me to sign in and although my apple ID and password are verified, it states that "The server encountered an error processing registrations. Please try again later". I have been trying for a week to sign in. Please note that my iPad and iPhone both continue to work on FaceTime without any issues or any requirement to reregister. Anyone experience the same thing?
The Firewall perhaps?

Messages/Phone/FaceTime Stopped Working
So about 5 days ago, Messages on my Mac stopped updating/syncing/whatever. None of the texts I've received (SMS or iMessage) are showing up, and any attempts to send messages (again, both SMS and iMessage) result in the "Not Delivered" error. Also, phone calls, both regular and FaceTime, do not show up on my Mac. Everything works fine between my iPad and phone, but my Mac seems to have just been shoved out of the loop.
I tried quitting and restarting Messages, then rebooting the system, then signing out of and back into iCloud. Nothing has changed on the system since it stopped working.
Other relevant things I can think of: as far as I can tell everything else iCloud related is working on Yosemite. I have double-checked, and all of my emails and my phone number are checked as active in the "You can be reached for messages at" section of the app's settings. I recently installed Little Snitch, but that was way before I started having the Messages problem, and I've since turned it off to see if that would help (it didn't).Hey BenBaccarat,
I understand that you are expereincing some issues when attempting to use Messages in Yosemite. I have a couple of resources for you that should be able to help you troubleshoot this issue further. First, see this article about using features of Yosemite behind a firewall, such as Little Snitch:
Using FaceTime and iMessage behind a firewall - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202078
Next, use this article to help you address specific Messages issues in Yosemite:

Lastly, you may also be experiencing issues with Continuity on your devices. Here is an article aimed at those issues:
