I could connect when I initiated the FT connection, but every time my friend tried to FT me it kept saying connecting but didn't.
So the problem is not your iPhone then.

Facetime connection problems using Verizon mifi 4510L device

Anyone having problems with iPhone facetime connection being dropped when using this wifi device? Phone/facetime work perfectly when on other wifi connections. Thanks, Matt

The Verizon 4G network has terrible latency, so, while downloads (and uploads) can be fast, it can take them a while to get started, so any exchange that needs a fast response is likely to be unstable. The network also sometimes stops working for several seconds at a time. I have a Verizon LC-11 wireless hotspot and I'm not happy with it.

Imac internet connection problem (says connected, won't load any website)

I cant begin to express the incredible amount of frustration I have had with trying to get a fully loaded Imac 2011 connected to the internet. I am currently residing in Dakar Senegal, using Sonatel Orange as a service.
I am on a network where EVERY SINGLE piece of gear connected to it works 100%, including my ipad, cell phone, Asus PC. I have no connection issues and as of now typing this message on the very same network that the IMAC appears to have a problem.
I have called tech support and they walked me through several steps which resolved nothing so I am hoping the community can help me.
Whether I connect to my router directly with an ethernet cable, or use the wireless to connect, it give me green lights, says its connected to the isp but not to the internet. Obviously the internet works on this network or I would not be sending this message from my PC.
DNS was the same as the router and the same as the one on my PC. I even tried 8.8.8.8 and that did not resolve the issue. Like I said it says connected to the ISP but the internet and server lights are red on the IMAC diagnostic tool. Everytime I try to connect the IMAC to the internet via the router via wireless or the ethernet cable, It does nothing, and actually I have to reboot the router to get it to work for the PC or any other device. Its as if the IMAC does something to the router and requires a reboot to reset it.
IT is DHCP enabled, thus not a PPPOE connection.
If I cannot get this resolved, I will be boxing up a $2500 machine and sending it back to apple. I cannot believe that I buy a practically fully loaded apple for the first time, and cant connect to the internet. I will go back to PCs and not look back if this does not get resolved. 2500 bucks is WAY to much to have internet connection issues.

Sorry to hear about your connection problem, you have a great computer but sometimes small things can cause a major problem. Did you check your firewall, make sure it is not blocking traffic. Click on system preference>security & privacy then click the firewall tab. If it is on then turn it off and see if you can connect. I would also reset the SMC As a last check open your network utility and take a look at the status of your network card and link status.

IMac Yosemite connection problem

Yesterday updated my 2014 iMac to Yosemite 10.10.2 .
Up to that moment everything worked ok but after updating the iMac doesn't connect to Wifi, doesn't connect to the internet even when connected by ethernet.
How the **** can you restore an iMac that doesn't connect to anything?

In System Preferences --> Network --> Location bar (top of the screen). Pull down the the menu bar and click on "edit locations". Click the plus button to add a new Network Location then click Apply. See if that will force your iMac to connect to a network.

Facetime connection problems

Running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.1 on my MacBook Pro 13 inch 2010
I can receive inbound calls on FaceTime for Mac, no problems encountered with all inbound FaceTime calls
But I can not connect outbound FaceTime calls, the receiving party will receive a ring or two but it would not connect
Would appreciate any help
Thank you very much

Hello,
I have the same problems, and the solution I found is that when the conections fails, then I go to the preferences of Facetime on my iMac, and disconnect the account ID. Then i turn it on again, and repeat the email ID for conecttions, and then, it works, till the new fail... I'm trying to contact Apple Support to know if it will be an update for facetime for Mac OS. I tryied the conections between iphone and ipad, and there is not problems. The problem is only between my iMac and iPhone o iPad...
I'm waiting for the update!!!!
Thanks and sorry for my english....

FaceTime connection problems since IOS6. Are there any solutions?

I have an iphone 4 my friend has iphone 4S. We have both successfully used FaceTime previously as she is based in another country. We can use iMessages but neither can connect to the other with FaceTime. It calls but then says Connection Lost. I've searched everywere and I contacted my carrier and they told me to do a reset which I did (and I told my friend to do it too) but it still doesn't work. Is this one of the problems with the release of IOS 6? Does anyone know what Apple are doing about the problem? Thanks.

You have Adware installed. Click the Firefox button, go to Add-ons | Plugins and disable '''My Web Search'''. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_web_search
Also, update Firefox to the latest version which is 4.0.1 by clicking Help | About Firefox | Check For Updates button.
In addition, update Adobe Flash via http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Intel iMac airport connection problems

Hello,
My new intel iMac connected up to my 802.11g 3come wireless modem/router fine, the strength in excellent (always full or nearly full) but the connection is very very intermittent.
It will only work for a minute or so but then the internet will go down on the machine for about 30 seconds, then come back on.
The network file sharing also goes down. Other Windows PCs on the network do not have this problem.
I have tried the following, none has had any effect:
[*]Turning off all other network PCs
[*]Disabling all encryption on the router
[*]Using different browsers
[*]Calling Apple support - first they asked me to adjust some networking options, we also setup a new network connection. They then sent me a replacement iMac - it's exactly the same
The firmware is up-to-date on the router.
I am aware there are similar posts in the forum, but other people's problems seem to be to do with their speed. None of the solutions have helped.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for your support.

I wasted hours and hours trying to figure out a similar problem with my machine. Apple Support denied all knowledge of known issues, but then I came across a discussion titled "Will Apple react to the Airport problem with the new iMac (Intel C2D)?" - you will find it on the 5th page (at the moment) of these topics.
It is one of the largest threads I have seen in these forums (113 replies). I tried to add an update, but curiously the thread is now locked - Apple are obviously keen to censor further discussion on the subject.
Apple do now acknowledge that there is a problem with Airport and the Intel-based Macs. They are supposedly working on a fix, but when that will come is not clear.
I would urge everyone with Airport issues to pester Apple Support until they solve this problem.

Facetime Connecting Problems

How come all of a sudden my facetime has stopped connecting?
Is it because of an upgrade?

There have been numerous reports of FaceTime problems in the last week. It is unclear what the problem is. Following is just one of many discussions regarding the issue: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6096640?tstart=120

Facetime connection problems since the IOS 6 update?

Since I upgraded to IOS6 I get the following messages when I'm on facetime: Poor Connection, The video will resume automatically when the connection improves. Connection lost. Never had this problem before.

Same here. Although search returns results anything I select brings up a blank page on my iPhone 4. Also when I go the purchased tab, I see the films or tv shows but when I tap into them it brings up a blank page again. What is happening.

HT3887 imac bluetooth connection problems

Trying to connect my JawBox to my Mac. It doesn't recognize it, even though my ipad does. Suggestions how to hook up.

Hi helisa,
Thank you for considering Sony Community!
There is a possibility that the issue is with your phone since you mentioned you can send files from your laptop to your phone. Let's isolate this by follow these steps:
Using your phone, try to send file to another phone or other device. You may also send file to a different computer to test. If still the same result the you may coordinate with Xperia Support for assistance.
Power cycle the laptop and your phone.
Re-pair your phone to your laptop. Delete the previous settings and repeat the process.
Reinstall Bluetooth driver of the laptop - go to Device Manger -> Bluetooth -> right click the driver name and select Uninstall (DO NOT DELETE).
For further assistance, we kindly recommend visiting our Sony Global Web site for information on contacting the Sony Support Center in your region at http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/Support/.
Hope these help.
Regards,
Vincent

TS3276 Web through this step-by-step, but alas it did not solve the problem. For some reason I can download mail on my Macbook Pro, but no my iMac. Connection Doctor shows all green lights.

Went through this step-by-step, but alas it did not solve the problem. For some reason I can download mail on my Macbook Pro and iPhone, but no my iMac. Connection Doctor shows all green lights. This started today when I was prompted to re-enter incoming mail server passwords. I re-entered passowrds yet again to make sure they were correct. Rebuilt the inBox. Connection Doctor continues to show all green lights, but am still unable to download mail to the inbox. Has anyone else ever run into this problem?

I have the exact same problem trying to use the Remote app on both my iPhone 3gs and iPad 2 with either my Mac or ATV2. My Remote app used to work on my phone - I can't recall if I ever actually used it with my iPad, but when I tried today, I got all the same results as you did (on both iPad, and then iPhone). I was using my ATV2 to play music from iTunes on my Mac and wanted to use the Remote app, but it would not connect to either device no matter what I did.

HT204380 Why won't my FaceTime connect with others?

Why won't my FaceTime connect with others?

Ok, so sometimes apple's servers may crash, temporarily. Just check the following site: http://www.apple.com/uk/support/systemstatus/
and it will notify you of any crashes. The link above is for the UK. Change to adapt to your country if you are outside of the UK. If your problem isn't listed I am sure it will be resolved within 24 hours. If this problem persists best thing is to contact apple.
Hope this helped :)

New 27" iMac: AIRPORT & BlueTooth Connection Problems

Hi There,
My 24" Intel Imac (C2D) has been replaced with new 27" iMac.
The problems mentioned below did not exist on the 24", However, I have real wireless
connection problems with the new 27";
1. AIRPORT: 27" iMac will not create Network (Computer to Computer) therefore I am unable to connect my iPhone 3G to its WiFi Network (some iPhone Apps - require WiFi)
2. BLUETOOTH: Although the 27" Imac is paired with my iPhone 3G - it will not connect iPhone to
Bluetooth..... BT options for both iPhone and iMac are ON and set as Discoverable.
(Note: Apple Wireless Keyboard & Apple Magic Mouse are both connected)
It seems as though Apple have changed procedure for actioning the above on these new 27" iMacs,
however they have not documented what is required to make it happen..... OR its a bug in 10.6.2 ??
If anyone has similar problems or knows of a workaround - all comments and advice would be much appreciated.
NB: This 27"iMac has no problems joining with an Airport Network (Airport Extreme Module) which then allows the iPhone 3G to also connect to that (for WiFi) But, that would seem to be an awkward and unnecessary proceedure ??
I'm baffled - there seems to be something missing (in OS Software or Procedure)

Sound like some strange issues.
1. AIRPORT: 27" iMac will not create Network (Computer to Computer) therefore I am unable to connect my iPhone 3G to its WiFi Network (some iPhone Apps - require WiFi)
So you don't have a wireless network that you normally use?
2. BLUETOOTH: Although the 27" Imac is paired with my iPhone 3G - it will not connect iPhone to
Bluetooth..... BT options for both iPhone and iMac are ON and set as Discoverable.
(Note: Apple Wireless Keyboard & Apple Magic Mouse are both connected
Are you saying that the iMac is using Bluetooth to connect to the keyboard and mouse but can't connect via Bluetooth to the iPhone?
