How do I accept a FaceTime call when there isn't an accept button?

The first time I used FaceTime everything went fine. Now when I try to call the same person all I get is a soft ringing, I'm not sure if she gets the ringing or can just hear it over the phone line, but she doesn't get the accept bar on her screen either. Same thing happens when she calls me, no accept bar appears.

If you're having trouble using FaceTime, make sure the feature is turned on. Tap Settings on the Home screen and then tap FaceTime. Tap the On/Off button to turn it on or turn it Off and On.
You have to use the appropriate method for placing a FaceTime call, depending on the kind of device the person you're calling has. If you're calling an iPhone 4 user, you should use a phone number; if you're calling an iPad 2, an iPod touch, or a FaceTime for Mac user, you need to make the call using that person's e-mail address.
Accepting a FaceTime call
If you're on the receiving end of a FaceTime call, accepting the call is about as easy as it gets. When the call comes in, just tap the Accept button to take the call or tap the Decline button to reject it.
If this is not working, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings.
Then keep the Powerbutton and the Homebutton pressed at the same time until you see the Apple logo on your iPad screen.
I use Skype, because I think it is working better;  http://itunes.apple.com/app/skype-for-ipad/id442012681?alreadyRedirected=1&mt=8

  • How do I answer a facetime call on my macbook air?

    I received a factime call on my new MacBook Air laptop and was unable to answer it.  It kept ringing but there was no place to either accept or decline the call as there is on my iPad 2. How do I answer a facetime call?
    Also, how do I enlarge the image on the MacBook Air to get it to be full screen?  I clicked the little green circle at the top of the image to maximize it, but it didn't do anything.

  • How can I interrupt the blocking call when call timeout?

    Hi,Guys
    I wrote an application server(daemon process) to talk with oracle server
    continuous which used oracle9 OCCI lib, each 5 min it executes the procedure
    on the DB server.
    Now I have come cross a problem:
    If the network is blocked, app server will blocked at occi call and would
    never pass, and no exception was catched :-(
    for e.g.
    1. Oracle server reboot without shutdown oracle process
    2. udp broadcast message storm blocked the connection between app server and
    oracle DB.
    I consider maybe it's because OCCI using the blocking mode of connection
    that caused this problem.
    How can I interrupt the blocking call when call timeout?

    Manage the timeout using a separate thread. When the timeout happens, issue a break on the OCCI connection. There is no direct way as of now. You need to do this to break a OCCI connection.
    retrieve the OCI handle from the OCCI handle (e.g. using Connection::getOCIServer or Connection::getOCIServiceContext methods) and issue a OCIBreak on it. Do not forget to allocate a error handle which should be passed to OCIBreak call.

  • Ipod touch won't ring receiving FaceTime call when in standby

    I am trying to FaceTime one touch from another. If the one receiving the 'call' is in standby it will not ring. If I take it out of standby or disable locking then it rings normally. I am assuming this is because it loses the wifi connection when sleeping? Is there a way to keep it connected? Is there a way to receive FaceTime calls when in standby mode?

    Welcome to Discussions, mjl4321
    My iPod touch rings and displays the incoming FaceTime screen from sleep. Yours should, too.
    Here are some things you can consider:
    • If you are using both on the same LAN, try moving one to another wi-fi location. Some users report problems when using more than one FaceTime device simultaneously on the same LAN.
    • If you have multiple devices on your network, check with your ISP for this possibility:
        http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2460
    • Might you merely not be hearing the call? I changed my ringtone to a louder sound and turned the ringer volume to maximum so my partially deaf ears could hear the call if I happened not to be looking directly at my iPod when a FaceTime request was received.
    • Do you have a solid wi-fi connection with minimal interference? I occasionally need to refresh my wi-fi connection. In my case, I think this is due to interference from my nearby neighbors, but interference can be caused by portable phones, microwave ovens, and a variety of other electrical sources:
        http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1365
    To refresh, turn Settings > Airplane Mode ON and then immediately back OFF.
    Of course, if you lose wi-fi while your iPod is sleeping, you will not know when you need to reset. However, if connected apps ever stop working while you are using them, this may be your problem during sleep, too. You can try the suggestions in the link above to see if you can eliminate the problem.
    • If nothing works for you, ask your retailer or Apple Authorized Service Provider to check whether your iPod may need service.
    BTW, your posted system info shows "new ipod touch  iOS 4". If this is correct, you should update to iOS 4.1. If it is wrong, you can correct the info in the "My Settings" link in the upper right part of the page whenever you are logged into Discussions.

    Do you know where is FaceTime call history on iOS 8?
    I updated from iOS 7, and now it shows only the contacts and under contact it's only the time of the last call that was with that particular contact.
    Tap on the "i" at the right of the contact. You'll see the other calls that are grouped in that entry.

    How do you receive a FaceTime call on your iPad

    Just my experience, but I've never had a screen protector on any of my iPads and have never felt the need to have one. You may want one if you don't use a case or cover, but otherwise I don't see that they're useful assuming you take basic care in keeping your screen clean and free of debris that might scratch.

    Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; devices running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can't be updated straight from the device. It will be updated to the newest iOS version supported by the device’s hardware.

    Another line could have meant you receive a phone call. I reacted to what you said. You can check the information about Facetime. I'm not aware of anyway to mute that. This support document is in regards to using Facetime. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4319 .
