FaceTime with LED

Hello!
Is it good idea to use infrared LED with front camera in new iPhone for illuminating me (for example) when I am talking with someone by FaceTime at night?
Thanks and sorry for my bad English.

Not sure why it isn't working for you.  It works fine here.  When I run the Facetime application, it shows the video from my 27" LED CD just fine.  In the Video menu in the Camera section, it lists "FaceTime HD Camera (Built-in)" which is the camera in MBP (2011), and the "Display iSight" which is the camera in the Cinema Display.  I can switch between them without any problems.
This is with the FaceTime 1.1 application that came installed with the MBP and Lion.

  • Can a user facetime with more than one user at a time

    I can use facetime with Macbook and connect to another Macbook user on another WIFI network... I was wondering if one can facetime with more than one user at a time?

    Only if you have more than one device running FaceTime at your end.

  • Macbook Pro Closed Clamshell FaceTime with external webcam?

    Is this possible.  I have an external monitor,keyboard, mouse etc and the twelvesouth bookarc set up so my macbook pro can be my desktop as well in closed clamshell mode.  I miss out on being able to use facetime/skype etc because the monitor I use is a 30" LED that does not have a built in webcam.  If i buy a high def webcam and attach it via USB,  would facetime use it? Could this solve my problem?
    Thanks,

    I have pretty much the same setup, 15inch Macbook Pro 2.66Ghz i7 8gb-ram and 500gb HD - I'm running Lion 10.7.2 and I've got the Mac Bluetooth Keyboard and Magic Mouse with 20inch Mac Cinema Display (no built in isight) which I 've been using with the Macbook closed. I've tried an old Logitech Webcam I had laying around but that wouldn't work. I also have an iPad2 and iPhone 4S and I've used that WebCam App that allows me to use my idevices as wireless webcams which I was able to use with SKYPE (iPhone 4S).
    So using the app "iWebcamera by dw-c" I was able to set my iPhone 4s and iPad2 as an external wireless webcam and successfully use SKYPE. I WAS NOT able to use the same method with Facetime or Photobooth, so I'd also be interested in knowing if I purchase a better/newer wired webcam if that would allow me to use FaceTime with my MacBook Pro Closed as well.
    Hope this at least gets you half way there mcbzero - it's all I have at the moment.

  • Facetime with my kids

    It appears that Facetime requires an Apple ID. Problem is my kids are young and I don't want to set up email addresses for them, which I assume you need to setup Apple ID's. It would be great to use Facetime from their Touches to my iPhone 4. What are my options?

    By the simple fact that you post this question, I know you want to guarantee that your kids' FaceTime and other internet connections are safe and appropriate. While the Settings > Restrictions might help, clever (or determined) kids can find a way around them.
    For the young kids you describe, the only responsible option I can suggest is to take away the iPods touch and replace them with age-appropriate toys.
    You can set FaceTime as explained in the iPod touch User's Guide and leave it with whomever keeps your kids. Initiate FaceTime with the adult, who will limit your kids' FaceTime session(s) to you and other contacts you know are safe for them. When you are through, the adult can quit FaceTime and secure the iPod(s) until your next FaceTime call.

  • Facetime with ipod touch4g to a laptop

    Can my daughter connect with facetime on her ipod touch 4g to her friends with windows 7 laptops?

    Welcome to Discussions, mom222
    FaceTime can work only with Apple devices that run FaceTime.
      http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4319
    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 multiple students

    Does anyone know how I can set up the iPDADS on a cart so multiple students can Facetime with multiple students at another school at the same time?

    If I have FaceTime on my Mac Book Pro, iPhone and iPad and someone makes a FaceTime call to me, can I take the call on any of those devices?
    iPhones: No
    Macs, iPods touch (4Gen), and iPads: Yes
    In order to be able to answer a call on multiple devices, each device must have identical FaceTime "Caller iD" addresses. iPhones identifiers are unique, not identical, so each FaceTime call to an iPhone is unique to that one device.
    Because iPhone uses its unique phone number as its address while your other devices use working email addresses (Macs and iPods cannot have a "phone number"), iPhones cannot be addressed along with any other devices. Nobody but the one iPhone will receive a FaceTime invitation made to its unique number.
    You can use identical information on as many Macs, iPods touch (4Gen), and iPads as you like. A FaceTime invitation to that "Caller iD" can be answered on any of them that are powered up and configured to have FaceTime on and working.
    If you want to be able to call from one of your Macs, iPods touch (4Gen), and iPads to another, the two devices must have different "Caller iD". Otherwise, it would be like trying to call one extension telephone from another on the same line. It does not work.
    If they are all in front of me can I choose what device I want to take the call on?
    Yes.

  • Unable to FaceTime with wife

    Hi
    I am in the uk. Me and my wife have iPhone 4. When my wife tries to FaceTime at home with me. It says unable to connect or unable to FaceTime with me for some reason. I am able to FaceTime with other people. And I am able to call my wife on FaceTime. Done FaceTime using same wifi connection in the house. What can be going wrong. At first my wife facetime option said waiting for activation on her iPhone in the phone menu. So I did a soft reboot holding power button and home together til I get apple logo to fix this but I don't know what can be stopping my wife facetime with me. Can anyone help. She has tried to FaceTime other people but they did not have there iPhone with them. I mean it does not even attempt to connect and make that beeping sound on my iPhone. FaceTime just cuts out with my wife when she tries me for some reason.

    (1) If you can contact others, but your wife cannot contact anyone, the problem must be at her end.
    She can go to a different location and try to see if the problem is with the wi-fi at her usual location. If she can connect FaceTime from other locations but not from where she is trying to call you from now, she will need to troubleshoot her wireless access.
    (2) If she cannot FaceTime with anyone regardless of which wi-fi hot spot she tries, perhaps she has not configured her FaceTime or Settings correctly.
    (3) She may find help for either problems in this article:

  • How to enter Facetime with International iPhone4?

    I have the iPod Touch4, trying Facetime with International iPhone friends. How should I enter their phone number? Does it need any 011+country code etc?
    My friend called me through Facetime, but it keeps on 'Connecting' after I answered. Same to as I called my friend through Facetime, it keeps on 'Connecting' after she answered. If I end the connecting, it will mark I have missed call.

    Here is how I do it from my iPod touch when I want to FaceTime to an iPhone, foreign or domestic:
    • Touch the contact card if one is already established
      • If not, touch "+" to create a new card
    • Touch the "Edit" button
    • Touch the label in front of the phone number if you already have a number
      • If not, touch the label in front of the word "Phone"
    • Select "iPhone"
    • Key in the number
    • Add any other desired info
    • Touch "Done" to save the contact
    Does it need any 011+country code ...
    Use the "+" sign in front of the country code for FaceTime calls to iPhones. (+1 in your example)
    None of my successful FaceTime testing to iPhones in other countries starts with "0".
    Every successful FaceTime test I have connected to iPhones in other countries from my iPod touch has taken the form as follows:
      "+Country Code" followed by a space and the phone number.
    Some of these phone numbers also contain spaces. (UK example, +44 #### ######)
    ... etc?
    No

    Everything you report is a symptom of not trying FaceTime but not making a connection. Consider the following:
    (1) We cannot yet tell which end(s?) of the connection has the problem. Get this answer first.
    Can either of you connect with anyone else? If not, both of you should test with someone else who knows his FaceTime works. Either or both can test with me if you don't have other contacts. Click my name at left for FaceTime contact info. I did not see a location for you, but the best time to test with me is 14:00 GMT - 03:00 GMT. I answer test calls whenever I am available, so try later if I miss you.
    (2) If one of you cannot connect to anyone, try from a different hot spot. If only one of you move to a different hot spot at a time, you should be able to track down which end of the connection is the cause of the problem.
    If you can connect from somewhere else but continue to fail when you return to your usual wi-fi connection, you need to troubleshoot your wireless access. If you know someone who has FaceTime working, an easy first test is to ask him to come to your problem location and try to contact someone via your wi-fi.
    (3) Consider all relevant info from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4319
    (4) Sometimes merely turning Airplane Mode or FaceTime off and then immediately back on in Settings will renew your wi-fi connection and get things sorted.
    (5) Restarting your iPod may fix your problem: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430

    when i try to set up facetime with my Apple ID it does not let me saying it cannot verify my account? if i change my ID on the ipad deos it change it on my computer aswel?

    Hi
    I would try this since Apple TV is built to allow multiple Apple Ids
    On you Apple TV
    General > Settings >Itunes Store > Add New Account (put yours in here)
    Then Switch account to your Apple Id
    Cheers

  • 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.

  • I want to Facetime my Ipad from my Iphone but they are both set up with the same Apple id.  Do I need to create a new id for one of them in order to facetime with the other?

    I want to Facetime my Ipad from my Iphone but they are both set up with the same Apple id.  Do I need to create a new id for one of them in order to facetime with the other?

    You should be able to call the iPad using your Apple ID from the iPhone. When calling from iPad use the iPhone's phone number to initiate the call.

  • 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.

  • How to use facetime with same apple id

    If I've already downloaded facetime on my imac do I have to buy it again for my mac book which is older and didn't come with facetime? And also, my husband has taken our ipad to Asia and I wanted to facetime with him using my imac at home, however I only have one apple ID so how do we call each other if the apple ID's are the same??

    It's only 99 cents, and I do believe you'll be charged for the second download to the Macbook.  Your Mac book must have osx, 10.6.6 or later, installed.   You can use the same apple ID, but you must supply a different individual e-mail for address to the ipad, and you should also supply another different individual e-mail address to the Mac book. 

  • Is it possible to use FaceTime With my two IPad With the same email address? I Will Google to china next month And i would like to communicate With my kids.

    IS it possible to use FaceTime With my two IPad That has the same address? I Will Go to China soon And i would like to discuss With my kids from there i.e. One IPad in China And one in Montréal.

    No, this is not possible.  It would be like dialing your own phone number.  You must verify an additional new email address for your second iPad.  See the following link which will tell you how to do this.  You will need to add this new address to Facetime app in one of your iPads.
