Having trouble setting up face time to a contact with an iPhone in Perth Australia using my iPad. I can't get it to recognise the number

I cannot seem to contact a mobile number through FaceTime using my iPad. I have added the contacts number but every time i try to connect it comes up with a message saying face time failed.

1. Make sure software is up to date
2. Make sure FaceTime is enabled; Settings>FaceTime
3. Make sure Date and Time is correctly set; Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>On
4. Make sure Push Notification is enabled
5. Make sure phone number or email address is correct
6. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) until you see the Apple Logo

    I am having trouble setting up my time capsule.  the amber light is flashing.  i have a Verizon FIOS network that i use for the internet (WiFi) and do not want to configure the Time Capsule to do that function.  I just want the Time Capsule to back up.

    Simple.. bridge the TC.. in the apple utility in the NAT and DHCP area.
    Plug it into the FIOS router.. you can turn off wireless in the TC if you want.. or use it.. it can work faster if you are nearby and can select 5ghz.. but up to you.

  • TS3972 having trouble setting date and time

    having trouble setting up wired apple tv, can't get itunes because network don't setup time?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
        1.    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
        2.    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
        3.    Restart your router.
        4.    Reset the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings)
        5.    Restore the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Restore)

  • My apple TV is having trouble setting date and time

    While fast forwarding a purchased movie, ATV froze.  Then it wouldn't play any movies.  Unplugged it, restarted it, tried to reset the settings, and it keeps getting hung up on date and time.  Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    It is having trouble connecting to the network. Make sure location is set correctly, DNS should be on automatic (settings - general - network). If on wifi try Ethernet. Make sure router is up to date. Reboot ATV and router

    I have the same issue.  I spent 45 min on the phone with cable company internet tech, he could not figure it out.  He was able to see the TC receive an IP address, but I was not able to access the internet, even though I had a green light on TC and my wireless network was working.  I thinks it is an Apple issue. I removed my new TC, reconnected my Netgear wireless and eveything is back to normal.
    I hope Apple or someone has an answer.
    Same response to you.. test by ethernet if you haven't already.. and your arrangement is not too difficult.
    I am guessing you got into the TC to set it up? How?
    If the computer does not receive the correct gateway and dns address you will be able to get access to the TC but not the internet. Check the network settings. Compare what you get when connected via the Netgear which is working with the TC which is not working.
    You might be able to get around it by manually setting IP address.
    Please make sure you have cable modem plugged into WAN port.. Apple's label is not exactly clear.  but the WAN port is slightly separate from the others. And has a different symbol.
    I also bet you have Lion on the computer.

    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.)

  • Having trouble setting up my website's email account on my iPhone 3G

    Hey, I'm trying to set up my iPhone 3G to receive emails from my website's MailEnable WebMail inbox and I'm having some trouble.
    I don't know what my Outgoing Mail Server Host Name (smtp) is. My website help section advises they don't have an outgoing smtp server and that my broadband supplier can help.
    Can anyone assist? Thanks Pt

    If your mail account provider doesn't have an SMTP server, then you can use the one from your ISP's email account if you're on your home network, or you can use your cell carrier's server settings when you're on 3G/EDGE. Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > the account > SMTP will have settings for Other SMTP servers; if your carrier's is there, toggle it ON.

  • Just got a new iPad but can't get it to do the text messaging.  Every time I put in a "To" address it shows a red exclamation point and says the name/number is not registered.  How do I register the people I want to text?

    I just bought a new iPad and can't get the text messaging to work.  When I try to address the message a red exclamation point appears and says the person is not registered.  How do I register them?  They are already in my contacts list & they all are active in my iPhone text messaging.

    Please Get the iPad User Manual for iOS 5.

  • Having trouble setting up e-mail on new iPhone 4s. I would like to sync with my outlook mail, contacts

    I am having trouble setting up my email and syncing my outlook calendar wiht my new iphone 4s.

    How do you connect to the internet?
    Most of the time, the problem lies here. You can try a couple of things. First, try only 3G or carrier data. Then, try only wifi. If that still doesn't work, your only other option is to try a different hotspot.
    I had the same problem before when I updated to iOS 4.3. I thought it was the update at first. I usually have the carrier data turned off because my plan doesn't have an unlimited provision for it. I forgot that I also switched ISPs from DSL to a visibility unit package - meaning I had to setup my laptop so that I could get wifi from it. I realized this when I visited a friends house that I knew I could connect properly before.
    My problem was with my laptop. It seems that Little Snitch blocks the ports being used for mail and push notifications. I haven't figured it out exactly since I still can't get email when I'm using my laptop connection. But, it works fine when I'm using ONLY 3G or both/wifi only if connected to a different hotspot.
    Hope that helps.

  • HT1694 I am having trouble setting up my hotmail account on my iphone 5s

    I am having trouble setting up my hotmail account on my Iphone. I've tried many times and still saying UNABLE TO VERIFY YOUR ACCOUNT ? Any suggestions?

    Just use the 'gmail' option when setting it up. There should be no reason to set up incoming/outgoing servers.  Google is killing support for Google Sync (i.e. Gmail set up as an Exchange account) for non corporate customers.

    external to backup having trouble setting up and getting started

    Okay, first you will need to setup time machine to backup your system to the new hard drive.  Just open time machine and turn it on, then select your new hard drive and time machine will start the backup in a few minutes.

  • Having trouble setting up my website. It's probably a silly mistake.

    So I've registered a domain and hosting plan with A Simple Orange which had a pretty good deal since I had a coupon for 20% off. I've tried using Joomla to manage my website, but I couldn't get the hang of it. So I'm trying out iWeb 09' now and just having trouble setting it up. I've gone to me.com and added my website and added the CNAME correctly I hope. Here is a picture. http://imgur.com/XI8Lw.png
    Next I opened iWeb and setup MobileMe in the preferences panel. I've tried publishing the information from iWeb to my website, but my home page doesn't change. You can see here at RyanSchefer.com that it's just plan

    No. Your CNAME setting is not correct. The CNAME and web.me.com are correct with web.me.com being your host. However, your domain name is incorrect - don't understand why you have put mobileme before it? You just enter either your domain name on its own so domain.com or you need to set up two separate CNAME entries, one being for www, CNAME, web.me.com and then one being @, CNAME, web.me.com. The @ stands for your domain name and the www is your sub domain.
    Try altering this and it should work okay.
