how come when I make a call on Facetime, I can see the person I'm calling but they can't see me?

My guess is one of the two of you has less than a robust, good, fast WiFi connection.

  • When I use FaceTime I can't hear the other person unless I mute myself but they can hear me just fine.

    I can't hear my girlfriend when she talk on FaceTime unless I mute my own mic while she talks. She can still hear when I talk but I can't hear her.

    Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, holding down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.
    Relaunch the App and try again.
    Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
    Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
    Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
    Test the issue after each step.  If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

  • Why my iphone 5 restart itself when I make a call on facetime?

    When I make a call on facetime, sometime my iphone 5 was hang, then black screen and restart itself.
    At the first, I think it's because my ios is 6.0 so I update to 6.0.1 but it still restart itself. What should I solve this problem?

    Thank you

  • Why can't I make any calls on facetime, the call drops after saying connecting.

    Why can't I make any calls on facetime, the call drops after saying connecting for a few seconds. I'm using an iphone 5, 32 GB on IOS 6.0.1 over 3G network in Muscat, Oman. Just to be clear, I was able to make facetime call in Muscat about a week ago.

  • How can I make my volume louder so the other person can hear me ?

    When I make a call or someone calls me they barely could hear me its very low.

    Try running a power cycle = hold the power button till the phone shuts off then re-powers and you might try running system cache clear it's not like a Factory Reset but it can sometimes straighten out phone issues.. If the issue persist you might removing the Sim Card do it with phone off use care when removing leave it out for 10min. then reinstall..
    Give these suggestions a try let us know if it Helped. b

  • WHEN USING FACETIME, THE OTHER PERSON CAN SEE AND HEAR ME BUT I CANT HEAR THEM AND THEIR VIDEO IS A STILL PICTURES.. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY ANSWERS???

    When using Facetime.. the other person can see and hear me, but I can't hear or see them.. Does anyone have any solutions?? The only thing I can see is a still picture of them

    Hi mduggan,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If the other person can't see you during a FaceTime call, first use the Camera app on the iPhone to make sure the camera is working properly. If you don't see an image when using the Camera app, try these troubleshooting steps first:
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
    You can find these steps and more information here:

    If the camera is working normally, next troubleshoot FaceTime using the steps in this article:

  • I have Firefox 3.6.2 on my Mac. There are newer ones - 4 & 5. How come when I search for updates, I get the message that there are none?

    I installed the latest version of 1Password 3.6.5 but its extension is incompatible with Firefox 3.6.2. It wants Firefox 4 or 5. The 1Password extension does work, however, on my Safari 5.1 browser. I want 1Password on both browsers but Firefox is preventing this due to inability to automatically update to Firefox 4 or 5. That option is checked in the Firefox preferences.

    If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

    When I make iMovies and copy to DVD, they record fine for playing back on my computer but will not play on my DVD for television.  Is there a certain format for DVD player and if so can you tell me what it is?

    Hi Yes0,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like there is an issue with the mic on your iPhone because you can hear them and they can't hear you. The article linked below outlines the available resolutions for this issue.

  • How come when I block one website under parental controls, other websites become blocked?

    I am a teacher and have found it necessary to block facebook. I am doing this under Parental Controls. Unfortunately, my students also frequent an Adobe website, I have discovered that by blocking facebook this site and others are not accessible. I then went and removed the block in Parental Controls and the Adobe site was still not accessible. I discovered that ONLY BY clicking on ALLOW UNRESTRICTED ACCESS TO WEBSITES were my students once again able to access the Adobe site.
    Here is URL for the Adobe site: https://color.adobe.com/create/color-wheel/

  • How come when I ask my siri "What is the best smart phone ever?" it doesn't answer with the Nokia answer?

    I'd like to understand why its not answering with the Nokia phone being the best. It was doing it over the weekend, but now it just answers with "Wait... there are other phones?". Never really cared for siri, but I thought it interesting that it gave a rival's smart phone as the answer. Not impressed Apple.
    Sincerly, Me

    Because nokia stopped link bombing the review sites.

  • While on facetime the other person can tell when you are getting txt, any way to stop this?

    On facetime other person kept asking whos texting you??

    Alternately, just pay attention to the person your on Facetime with and wait to text until your done. Then, both people get you full attention and no one gets jealous.
