HT1338 Facetime Problems

Since I installed iOS6 on my iPad, I'm having real problems with Facetime connecting to my MacBook Pro.  It connects for an instant than fails.  It says that I'm not available.  I've tried it over several different wifis and I get the same result.  I'm running Mtn Lion and before I upgraded to iOS6, I had no problems.  What am I doing wrong?

Hello Dhali,
Sorry to hear that you are not able to connect using FaceTime on your MacBook Air.  I recommend following the steps in this article when experiencing issues with FaceTime on a Mac:

        Oh boy! Acting kind of weird seems to be an understatement, aquaequus!
    What type of troubleshooting were we able to do with you? I want to make sure that we can get some sort of resolution for this problem.
    It is quite possible the battery door may get your phone in working order again. I'm not sure if the store has it in stock, but it is available in our warehouse for $14.99 which can be ordered via customer service.

  • Facetime Problem...anyone help?

    Recently I got my IPHONE 4 in Australia. However i have encounter problem when i try to use Facetime.
    The problem is that when I call a person, the person picks up but he/she barely hears what I am talking (even when I'm shouting on the mic). On the other hand, i have no problem with hearing. I have already tried with four friends, and 4 of them barely hear me at all. I have also asked person 1 to test with person 2..and so on. They can all hear each other, whereas they barely hear me. What is the problem.
    Furthermore, they have set volume to max and everything is activated.
    Again. I have restart my phone (power off and power on)
    I did a soft reset( press home and power together)
    I even restore my phone to factory and it still has the problem.
    I used another wifi spot and still has the same problem.
    Thank you very much

    If no change after restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, call AppleCare if available in your county, make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby, or if your chosen carrier for the iPhone handles support and a possible exchange under warranty for the iPhone, contact your carrier.

  • FaceTime Problem

    Hi, I have an iPhone 4S and I recently updated its software from 5.0.1 to 7.0.2, update was successful but I can't find Facetime anywhere on the device.
    I have seen an older phones versions with Facetime working on it.
    Please advice how to get facetime ,knowing that iMessage is working perfectly.
    Thanks

    Hello dski UK,
    well our numbers were ported from another provider, but I'm not sure if they called us or the other way around. All I can tell you is we seem to have no problem FaceTiming with our other friends who have iP4s, it's only our two phones that can't seem to connect. Basically, when we try it just shows a question mark on the FT icon and says something like "FaceTime failed." Pretty strange, eh?

  • I have facetime problem with my iPhone 5.

    I never have this problem with iPhone 4 but with iPhone 5 during conversation it keep freezing and reconecting.. Any help will greatly appreciated.

    Are you trying to use the phone in Bahrain with a supported carrier there? I suspect not. If you try to use this phone outside of Bahrain, you won't have FaceTime. This is done to prevent folks from simply crossing the border to purchase iPhones in Bahrain...FaceTime is banned in Saudi Arabia & the UAE. Sorry, but you'll only have FaceTime on that phone while using it in Bahrain on a supported carrier's network there.

  • FaceTime Problem - MacBook Pro Retina

    Hello everyone, as the title suggests, I have a problem with FaceTime.
    During a video call (only a video call, during FaceTime Audio I don't have any problems) I hear and see the other person well, but the other person sees me and feels jerky, sometimes subtle, but sometimes that makes it impossible for the other person to understand me. Tried with three different people.
    how to solve?
    It is not a wifi problem because I've tried with the iPhone and it did not give these problems ...
    Thank you!
    MacBook pro Retina (13' late 2013) 512 GB

    Hi there,
    I have the same computer as you, and I've noticed the same thing. Both facetime and skype have similar audio issues. I can seem to hear the other side fine, but my audio particularly breaks up a lot.
    The audio though my phone is perfectly fine when I facetime though the same network using my iphone. I previously had a 15" macbook pro late 2011 and the audio was fine. I realize the microphones are different in this new retina (late 2013) model - though the audio problems seem to occur even with an external microphone as well.

  • IMessage/FaceTime problems

    Hello, I am currently using iOS 7.0.3 on an iPhone 4S and last night I found the problem of my imessage and FaceTime not activating. Recently I just fixed the problem of iMessage not starting. Each time I try to activate iMessage or FaceTime, I get "iMessage activation, an error occurred during activation. Try again." And when I try to sign in it says"could not sign in, check your network connection and try again." Could someone please help me figure out what's going on?!?

  • MacBook Air FaceTime Problem:

    Hallo zusammen, ich wollte mein FaceTime auf meinem MacBook Air einrichten und mich mit meinem bestehenden Account anmelden, leider erkennt wohl Apple in diesem zusammenhang meinen Account nicht. Oder muss ich doch einen komplett neuen Account dafür einrichten? Danke für eure Hilfe.

    Es kommt immer die Fehlermeldung:
    Anmeldung fehlgeschlagen überprüfen Sie Ihre Netzwerkverbindung und versuchen Sie es erneut.
    Das Internet funzt aber ohne Probleme.

  • Photobooth and FaceTime problems

    When I open Photobooth or FaceTime on my Macbook Pro, the program freezes. FaceTime doesn't even open. And the wheel icon comes on when I open my Photobooth, I can't take pictures or videos. The green light is on, but the program itself doesn't work. I've had my Macbook for three months and I barely use my webcam. Is there a way to fix this problem??

    Doesn't do it on my Early 2009 13" MBP.
    If the problem is the same in more than one user account, and if OS X Mavericks recovery or reinstall doesn't fix your problem, contact Apple or your Apple Authorized Service Provider.

  • FaceTime Problem - Help me!

    Hello!
    I purchased iPhone 4 in UK (unlocked factory). But I am having problem with FaceTime. I turn on it but it keeps "Waiting Activation". Why? Ant suggestion?
    Thanks!

    DID YOU TRY USING IT OR ACTIVATING IT OVER WIFI?
    SOME PEOPLE SAYS THAT THE ACTIVATION WAS DONE VIA SMS, BUT I THINK MY ACTIVATED VIA WI-FI, I DID NOT HAVE ANY 3G, EDGE OR CELL SIGNAL AT THE TIME OF THE ACTIVATION, BUT I WAS CONNECTED ON MY WI-FI NETWORK.
    I ALSO FOUND THE LINK BELOW HOPE IT CAN HELP YOU.
