FaceTime will not connect no matter how I try to fix the situation.

After numerous attempts to resolve the problem FaceTime refuses to connect. Both the recipient and I are connected to WiFi networks that work fine, I have tried restarting my phone multiple times, disabling FaceTime and re-enabling it, restarting my router, and calling the recipient then attempting to enable FaceTime and all that occurs is it rings constanly until it shows a message saying it can not connect. Neither I nor the recipient receive any notification when the other is attempting to call. Any ideas what the problem is and any suggestions of how to fix it? Thanks.

Hi, I have the same problem here too.. any solution? Is it because I'm using mac for FT? I tried using FT between Ipad and Ipod touch and it was fine.

  • Firefox 4 will not close no matter how I try to do it. I have windows xp. What can I do?

    I just installed version 4 yesterday and the problem began immediately.

    Hi Tim,
    Have a look at the article I linked to especially the section on [[firefox hangs#w_hang-at-exit|hangs at exit ]]and also to the article [[firefox is already running but is not responding]].
    There are several possible causes of this sort of problem, and you could also have problems with restarting Firefox properly, or saving changes. Creating an additional [[profiles|profile]] may be useful, at least as a troubleshooting step, although you need to be careful if the profile is used more permanently, because it is easy to inadvertently delete the wrong profile information, and is not entirely straightforward if you need to try migrating profile information. If you do create a new profile I suggest you give it a simple name like trial1profile but then do not delete or rename that profile unless you are absolutely certain about what you are doing.
    [profiles folders retain the name even if the profile is renamed, <br />and deleting a single profile may delete a whole set of folders/files destroying data possibly inadvertently]

  • My itunes will not open no matter how many times i try! It says its due to a problem. what do i do?

    My itunes will not open no matter how many times i try! It says its due to a problem. what do i do?

    When you gte requests to locate iTunes.msi like this, the Microsoft Installer Cleanup utility usually fixes it.
    Here is a method for removal, clean up and reinstall of iTunes.
    == uninstall with cleanup ==
    Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Save the files on your PC.
    Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program. The installer doesn't give any message to confirm the installation.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
    (To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install)
    Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
    XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    Vista
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    *If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
    When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
    Restart your PC.
    Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
    Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
    If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
    restart your PC
    Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
    If it does, install iTunes.

  • I have an ipod touch and it will not connect to my wifi.  It has in the past but now it won't even let me get to the point where I put in my wifi info

    I have an ipod touch and it will not connect to my wifi.  It has in the past but now it will not even give me the option to connect?

    Did you just update to BUGGY OS 4.x???
    All the updates starting with OS 4.x have completely screwed up most iPod Touch', especially older models like Gen 2 and 3.
    Inability to connect to any WiFi.
    Fluctuating WiFi signal no matter how close you are to the AP.
    Drastically shortened battery life, even when in sleep mode.
    And Apple hasn't done a **** thing since irritated owners have complained about it since the middle of 2011!!
    (I am one of many thousands affected!) Look at older threads by searches of "Fluctuating WiFi", Terrible Battery Life, for the Touch and iPhone.
    This is why I bought an Android tablet instead of an iFad this Xmas. Non-existant Apple support!

  • Airport extreme software will not install on vista, how can i still configure the router?

    airport extreme software will not install on vista, how can i still configure the router?  Trying to help someone with vista get an airpot extreme configured.  10.0.1.1 does not work, the software will not install correctly on their vista machine.  How can I get into the base tation and lock it down?

    Hi - Vista can be tricky - I need more info to see if I can be of some help - first, is the Vista machine a desktop or a laptop and is it fully up to date with Windows Update (sp2 or higher)? - next, are you trying to install Airport Utility version 5.5.3 which is the correct one for Vista? - and finally, what do you mean "it will not install" - what kind of error messages or evidence are you getting?

    This solved everything, after uninstalling IObit Advanced SystemCare iTunes would open with Bonjour enabled however iTunes wouldn't pick up the iPhone device. I did some more digging and a few of their other applications had been installed including Game Booster. Uninstalling that put everything back to normal.
    I have been given a new device by Apple who were really helpful and the guys have neever seen the docking connector disabling before. Coinsidence?
    Anyway in case this helps other people these were the symptoms (might help with searches):
    - Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
    - iTunes 10 wouldn't open originally, just egg timer then nothing yet processes all started
    - Docking connector died on the device, wouldn't even trigger a standard USB connection or light up the device
    - Uninstalling iTunes etc didn't change anything
    - Disabling Bonjour worked but iTunes extremely unstable, seems frozen when syncing and the sync itself, especially with app transfer, was extremely slow and the other buttons were unresponsive after clicking for two minutes before screen would change
    Have sent feedback to IObit about this to see if there isn't something that can be done.
    Fantastic assistance and an incredible spot from b noir. If you come to the UK you need to drop me an email as I owe you a night out on the town!

    You must find out where the problem is before you can determine what to fix.
    (1) Her friends need to read http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4319 and test with others to see if they can FaceTime with anybody or if their problem is ONLY with your daughter.
    (2) Your daughter can go to at least one other wi-fi hotspot(s) to see if she can still FaceTime to your Mac at home.
    (3) Your daughter can try FaceTime with her friends from the other wi-fi hotspot(s).

  • HT2292 I recently got a new ipod touch and the new one will not connect to itunes.  I've done all the troubleshooting and now I'm just plain frustrated.  With the new update my old ipod froze and best buy gave me a new one. What to do?

    My ipod recenly froze with the last update.  bestbuy gave me a replacement.  the new one will not connect to the computer or itunes.  i followed all the instructions and - nothing.  It's frustrating enough as i lost all my notes and work, but now I can't connect to sync with itunes.  i don't get it.  i'm not a supertech so i don't know what to do. help!!!!!!

    Thanks, Bob!  You are correct.  And, we learned this as we spoke with APPLE TECH SUPPORT by phone on Christmas day (800-APL-CARE).  One of their reps spent the time to help us troubleshoot this, but the boiled down conclusion is your answer, and to repeat for the benefit of others, here is what worked:
    1. With our Belkin router set to "out-of-the-box" WEP 64 bit security, we could not get wireless access of any kind.  Only with the Security Mode set to DISABLED, could we gain access.
    2. Changing the router's security mode setting to "WPA/WPA-2...." and entering a new min. 8 char passphrase, and then entering that same passphrase into the IPOD Touch, and restarting the router, did the trick!
    Based on this, and some info found in another posting, I can only conclude that the IPODs and IPHONES do not support WEP security mode in many generic routers used by thousands of consumers.  Hopefully, those same consumers can figure out how to change their wireless router setttings to WPA/WPA-2 security mode and ALSO get all their other wireless devices (PCs, laptops, WII boxes, ROKU boxes) all reconfigured to WPA mode, too.
    I THINK THE BOTTOM LINE HERE IS THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE THAT APPLE NEEDS TO ADDRESS WITH WEP COMPATIBILITY and it may also be the case that MOST CONSUMERS ARE USING WEP 64 BIT security on their home wireless routers?
    In any case, it's working now, so anyone who is having problems should try changing to WPA mode and post back here if it worked for them!

  • My iPad will not connect to my wifi.  What could be the problem?

    I have an iPad (1st Generation).  It will not connect to my wi-fi.   How can I resolve this issue?

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Additional things to try.
    Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.

    Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
    New cable and different USB port?
    Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • Facetime will not connect to my WiFI

    My Ipad is connected to WIFI  but when trying to sign into my apple ID for facetime is messages to check my network connection.  Facetime also works on other networks outisde of this one. 

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
