I cannot get FaceTime to work between my 3rd Generation IPad and iMac, any ideas?
Not exactly sure about the iMac cause I don't have one. But the email being used on the iPad is at
Settings > FaceTime > You can be Reached for Video Calls at
Below that line there is an Apple ID which is the primary email address being used by the iPad. You can make changes there to change the email address. -

My ipad has a different email address than my iPhone, both are mine but I can only get FaceTime to work on my iPhone but seem unable to change the email address in that field
If the basics (restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new) don't work, you'll need to bring the phone to Apple for evaluation

Cannot get facetime to work on etisalat in dubai, uae
Just got a new iPhone 4S from etisalat last week, however, i cannot get facetime to work. I see no reference to facetime in the settings? Is there anyway to activate it?
Sorry, no. FaceTime has been permanently removed from all iPhones sold in the UAE, & there is no way to add it back.

I Cannot get FaceTime to work on my mini. It gives me a network error. But all my other devices work fine.
Quite a few people have posted about having issues with Facetime and iMessages over the past few weeks. The update to iOS 8.1.3 was supposed to address those issues and you could try updating your iPad. But the fix didn't work for everybody.
IF you are getting the message about checking your network connection, start with these very basic troubleshooting steps.
Check Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure that the time zone setting is also set correctly.
If that didn't solve the problem, restart your iPad and try again. If that fails, reset your iPad and try again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -

I can't get FaceTime to work, yes I have wi-fi.
i can not get FaceTime to work, yes it's on, yes my account and e-mail match, wi-Fi is on and full strength.
HELP.
< Edited by Host >Just because you have the wifi signal strength bars, doesn't guarantee you're actually on wifi. Can you open a website in Safari? Can you download an App from the App Store? If you can't, you're not on wifi.
Did you set up facetime using your Apple ID, not necessary your email address? -
