Welcome to Discussions, mom222
FaceTime can work only with Apple devices that run FaceTime.

Either the latest iPhone or iPod touch could work to FaceTime with your daughter.
The FaceTime for Mac (beta) http://www.apple.com/mac/facetime/ can also work.
However, system requirements include an iNtel Mac and the latest Mac OS!
As lllaass mentions, Skype can now make video calls _to other Skype users_, but NOT to FaceTime users. Neither Skype nor any current PC software can connect with FaceTime.

  • Facetime with ipod touch

    When I try to contact my son with the facetime (using my Mac to his touch) I get a message that says he is unavailable. When he tries to contact me, it says connected/call ended. What am I doing wrong?

    Googling MC544EA indicates that it may be from a Latin America country.

  • Facetime with ipod touch, no video showing up

    I'm using face time to call my mom.  My mom can see me, but I don't see her.  I can however, see myself.
    This is also inconsistent, sometimes it works, other times it doesn't.

    Are both parties connected to the same router when you get and not get a video?  If not the same router all the time it culd be that the router is blocking the port that video uses.

  • Unable to Face Time with Ipod Touch 4th Generation

    We have 2 4th generation Ipod Touch's.  When Face Timing each other, only one can initiate the call and connect successfully.  Say Ipod A FaceTimes with Ipod B, but can't connect.  It just rings on Ipod A and does not ring on Ipod B.  When Ipod B initiates FaceTime with Ipod A it will connect successfully.  Now Ipod A can initiate FaceTime with Ipod B successfully but only after B connected with A first.  Confused yet?!?!
    I tried to recycle power; turn wi fi on / off; turn face time on / off; sign out of the Apple ID account etc.  This only causes one to work and the other to not when both are powered up at the same time.
    Again, once one of them can successfully connect then they both can FaceTime each other.
    Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you

    Hi lllaass
    I am still and will be staying on 3.1.2. I am not ruining my iPod's battery life and WiFi connection by upgrading to iOS4. No app is worth that!
    Normally updates of the apps that now requires a newer version of the iOS will not show up on the Touch.
    Reading through the other thread suggested by CeeZeeCZ I can see that this is a common problem these days.
    Thanks Apple. Stellar as usual!

  • HT1296 Is there any way I can transfer the music from my ipod touch to my computer without having to pay for it? Itunes worked fine with my ipod on my old laptop. I am not willing to risk losing all of the music on my ipod to update to the newest iOS.

    I really don't want to lose all of the music I have on my ipod touch. It worked fine with my ipod and my old laptop but I got a new laptop and now it doesn't want to sync anything except purchases I made on the ipod and everything that was in the cloud. The rest of the music on my ipod is from old CDs and I am away from home. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could give me some advice. I also don't really want to pay for a download that moves the music into itunes so if anything is free and safe that would be great or if there is a way to do it manually. Again thanks to anyone who has advice to share.

    You would have to purchase a 3rd party program ( not supported by Apple).
    The ipod is not a storage/backup device.
    Copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.

  • My househoulse is full of Apple products. We have Ipad, Ipod, and Iphone, but they are all registered under same email. Therefore, we can not facetime with each other. Does anyone know how I could change this?

    How do I facetime with the same email address on the Apple product?

    The iphone identification should be its phone number, for other devices, such as ipad, ipod, imac you must generate a new e-mail address for each.  You can do this by using Yahoo mail, google mail, or perhaps the e-mail system that your internet service provider offers.  The point is, each unit needs its own id.

  • IPhone won't facetime with daughters iPod, using same Apple ID but different email addresses.... Help

    how do you get two devices to facetime on one apple id

    Yes you can use the same apple id to facetime with two devices. I just tried it between my macbook air and my iphone 5S using the same apple id. You just need to make sure the ipod is trying to call the iphone number.

  • I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list.

    I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list. I've confirmed the mac address is included on that list and that the password is correct. Under choses netwrok I select the network and it just goes into a spin. I have tried removing the password and the access list settings and it still will not complete the connection to the router thus no internet access. The routers firmware is also up to date. This thing worked fine before this update and I've already tried to restore from backup. Any ideas or is the wifi nic bad in this thing with the new apple firmware update? Any fix?

    Thanks Bob, I don't know why but it all of a sudden worked a few days later. It's a mystery but at least problem solved.

  • TS1717 Having trouble running iTunes version 11.0.2 on a Dell Laptop running Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1.  Keep getting an error message "the software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly..." reinst

    Having trouble when I launch iTunes (version 11.0.2) on my Dell Laptop running Windows 7 Professional (service pack 1).  I get an error message indicating software required to communicate with iPod and mobile phones was not installed correctly.  Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you?  I normally respond with OK and it immediately tells me "could not be repaired.  Please reinstall iTunes..."  I have done this a number of times to no avail.

    I also notice Quicktime is not getting installed at all.
    That one is normal nowadays (ever since the iTunes versions 10.5.x).
    The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you?
    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • I am using new laptop with ipod touch and have downloaded i.tunes.  in the past i.tunes showed all the tracks on my old i.pod.  I can't seem to find the i.touch library to change or delete music. What am I not doing?

    I am using a new laptop, windows 7, with ipod touch, hoping to listen to, whilst on line, edit and add music to my ipod library.  I have downloaded i.tunes but it does not show my library.  I know I have repeats to delete too but cant see anything, It does recognise that there is a body of music with the indication bar at the bottom., but does not list anything.  Help

    I attempted to back up my old iPod, but in File - Library - back up to disk, it's asking for 15 disks!  I can't just back up to the PC/ext HDD that I can see.
    That backing up your iTunes library, not your iPod. You can backup up your library by:
    iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
    First you have to get Itunes to see the iPod. See the following. Notupdating your iPod iOS has nothing to do with it.
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    You can transfer iTune spurchases from the iPod to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    You can also redownload iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer.
    For other music yo will need a thrid-party progtam like one of those discussed here:

  • IPod touch erased when I updated and synced it on a different operating system.  Forgot password to backup file.  Windows 7 is a bust for the newest version of itunes.  Tired of fooling with it, so I tried to update and sync ipod to hubby's laptop.

    Sooooooo sick of trying to fix the bug with the newest version of itunes and Windows 7.  I'm over it.  Tried syncing ipod to hubby's laptop.  When update and sync was complete, all my apps, music, and pictures were gone.  When I open my itunes account on his computer, they are gone from there as well.  I cannot open itunes on my computer because I cannot fix the compatability issue.  Don't tell me how to go to 'computer', click 'program files' etc. etc......  Did that, unchecked compatability mode and nothing is fixed.  About to take a hammer to darned thing.

    Also, I have forgotten the password to my backup file, which could solve everthing.  I don't really remember ever setting a password for the backup file.  Tried every password I've ever used with this device.

    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • How do I download only selected audiobooks from iTunes to my iPod.? I don't want to download the whole library..i have an iPod classic and Mac laptop with the latest ios.

    How do I download only selected audiobooks from iTunes to my iPod.? I don't want to download the whole library..i have an iPod classic and Mac laptop with the latest ios.

    If you check songs, simply sync the entire library.
    But I highly recommend (and it is far simpler) to create a playlist (or multiple playlists) and select only that playlist to sync.
    Leave everything checked.
    Then simply add/remove from these playlists and sync away.
