Facetime to China - does it work still ?

Following the latest upgrad to iOS 5.1.1, whilst here in Japan,  I have not been unable to communicate with my wife's iPad in China. We have separate ids and Facetime was the only usable way of Communicating, SkyPe was incredibly slow & cut-out often.... now (as of the past week, Facetime has stopped working). The only, change that has been made was that I upgraded to iOS 5.1.1.... nothing else changed
* 1 ... Have Facetime been blocked in China - as SkyPe used to be before being "Chinatised" ?
* 2 ... is anyone able to communicate to iPads in China , and which version of iOS are you using ?
* 3 ... does iOS 5.1.1 stop communications to China ?
*4 .. if you're using an iPad wirelesss version how can you confirm Facetime still works . SkyPe has a Server test, but Facetime doesnt
*5 ... Are there any tools out there to test Facetime connectivity without facetime
*6 .. Does Facetime on the Windows PC exist ?
Any suggestions ?
PS. I'm slightly above basic user, so please assume I know sometime or can at least google something, when you reply... also assume I've tried most on google.....

I believe the docs for it say that currently the PlayBook must be on the "same local WiFi subnet" as the sending PC, so that would sound like a "no" answer to me.
Just posting to confirm, the PrintToGo app basically works over WiFi, not Bridge.

  • Facetime in Argentina does not work

    I'm from the USA visting family with my wife, when I try to use facetime from my mother in laws house (where we have used it in previous visits), I get a facetime failed.  Has anyone experienced anything similar?  I dont understand the issue, since we are using the same service and the same router as when it worked last time. iphone 4, ios 5.0.1
    thanks.

    That is what I dont get.  I use ATT in the USA, and got an international plan for my wife and I.  It usually uses the Claro network, still does, and it still does not work.  It worked before, so I am a bit baffled as to why its not working now.  Thanks for your response, still trying to figure it out.

  • FaceTime and Messages does not work.

    Hi, I have a Macbook pro 13" (early 2011) I have the latest OS X Yosemite 10.10 update and have tried every troubleshooting step I can think of. I have made sure my date and time are set automatically and are correct. I have toggled FaceTime on and off. It's logged in just fine and gives the appearance that it works but everytime I try to FaceTime it instantly says FaceTime failed. I can FaceTime the same person from my phone with no problems. Also my Messages is having the same issues they will not send although I'm signed in to my apple ID and verified with the code from my phone as soon as I opened the app. Also my Apple ID is valid and verified so there's no issue there. I cannot figure out why it will not work and I've done every troubleshooting step that apple offers on the website. I even downloaded and reinstalled the latest OS. Any suggestions? Thanks, Phil

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.

    Was it just this one time?  Could be that you, or your mom, were experiencing network problems.  Try again at a later time.

  • FaceTime does not work on UAE model

    My ipad was bought from Dubai, UAE and FaceTime does not work on it. On investigation I came to know that FaceTime is blocked in UAE. Fine I thought FaceTime is a software thing not hardware and after updating iOS why does it still not work ? Can we do anything to make face time work ? It's not banned in my country and FaceTime works perfect on my iPhone
    Help please

    Thanks I now use Skype but learnt a valuable lesson will buy my next ipad from USA or Canada where nothing is blocked.
    However my money got wasted cause I wanted the luxury of a big screen for FaceTime communication
    Thanks dude for your help

    Thanks for responding. Since I upgraded ITUNES to IOS 6, my IPOD Touch no longer works at all. I had numerous apps, music and videos on this touch. It made me restore to factory reset and it still does not work!!! Nothing I do will work on this touch now. I have so much data on this, I don't want to loose or have to restore!
    Can you help me?
    Thanks

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

  • TA44551 My 1-year ipod nano locked up and would not start overnight. The on/off button will not work and stopped holding charge. No water damage, no fall, nothing unusual. I restored it (twice) but it will still not hold charge and on/off does not work.

    My 1-year ipod nano locked up and would not start overnight. The on/off button will not work and stopped holding charge. No water damage, no fall, nothing unusual. I restored it (twice) but it will still not hold charge and on/off does not work. I tried to restore it again and charged it in three different locations with different cables. etc but nothing. Suggestions?

    - After charging for 1/2 hour or so, does iTunes see the iPod?  If yes, restore the iPod from backup.
    - If no, se if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make it visible so you can restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

  • Iphone 4: Home Button Not Working. The home button only works when it is connected to iTunes, once i disconnet it does not work, i have tried a restore to factory settings but it still is not working. Any suggestions?

    Apple, as I said, does not repair your iPhone. All hardware service issues are handled by replacing the unit. So they can't handle the home-button issue without also addressing the issue of the cracked screen, for which they'll almost certainly charge you. But you can make an appointment at an Apple Store or call Apple tech support and plead your case.
    Regards.

  • My Facetime audio does not work on my MacBook

    My Facetime audio does not work on my MacBook, video is fine.  Volume set to max, internal mic is "on", mute is 'off'.  Advise

    While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use FaceTime. There's a FaceTime Support Community where everybody uses FaceTime. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_app_store/facetime_for_mac

  • Microphone does not work in Facetime

    Hi
    I read other posts and in Maverik I didn't find simmilar problem, for most people their microphone does not work after few minutes, but in my case, microphone does not work at all in Facetime, so I can hear the other end, but they can not hear me! This happened after updating Mavericks.
    My Mac specs:
    Macbook Pro 2013
    OSx 10.9.1 (Mavericks)
    things I already tested:
    I tried to use headphone and without headphone, but it didn't make any difference
    Microphone works fine in Skype and other softwares (Audacity, YahooMessenger, etc.)
    Tried with WiFi and with Ethernet cable
    Internet speed is 2.3MBps
    Router's firewall does not have any restriction for certain ports
    Tried turning facetime Off and On
    Tried to call iPhone 5s, iPad2 and MacBook Pro each in different network and different countries!
    ... and finally searching internet for hours (which obviously came up with nothing)
    I'll be thankful if somebody help me through, all suggestions are welcome, so please don't hesitate to post.

    Same issue here....
    8-core Mac Pro, Lion, Original External iSight camera connected via FireWire 400 through the FireWire jack on the 23" Apple Cinema Display.
    Audio and video work fine using iChat and making video clips through any/all apps.
    However, using FaceTime.....incoming audio and video are fine, outgoing video is fine, but outgoing audio is missing.  Nobady can hear me.
    Sorry guys...you can't doll this one up or spin it in any other direction......it's a bug pure and simple.
    Feel free to fix it whilst you're dealing with all the other problems that Lion has.

  • Greetings, I am working in Final Cut Pro 7. In the timeline some clips show as offline. I tried going to sequence and reconnecting to media but it does not work. I can still see the video in the timeline and work with it. It just has the red box.

    If the clips are not actually missing, you could try to refresh the timeline by using cmd-0 and then going to the timeline options tab. Then select name only where it says "thumbnail display". Press ok to accept the change, then repeat the process to add thumbnails back to your timeline.
