It seems that my iPhone 4S is unable to contact the FaceTime server. I am using a WIFI connection. I cannot connect to others using FaceTime. What do I have to do?

Hello carrwf,
It sounds like you unable to connect your Apple TV to the iTunes Store. I would use this troubleshooting from the following article to help you resolve the issue named:
Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4546
If you discover that you aren't connected to a network, the signal strength is low, or some of these settings are incorrect or blank, try the following steps:
Ensure that Apple TV is within range of your Wi-Fi router or base station.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable/DSL modem are connected to power and turned on.
Make sure other devices (computers, iPhone, iPad, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Check your Wi-Fi network settings on Apple TV:
Choose Settings > General > Network > Wi-Fi and press the center button on the remote to display nearby networks.
Choose your Wi-Fi network from the list.
If your Wi-Fi network uses a password, make sure you are entering it correctly.
Restart your Apple TV by choosing Settings > General > Restart.
Try restarting your Wi-Fi router or modem by turning it off and then on again.
If possible, connect an Ethernet cable and verify your Internet connection. If you can connect to the Internet using an Ethernet connection, verify that your Apple TV is using the latest software by choosing Settings > General > Software Update. If your Apple TV can be updated, install the update and then try the steps again.
Disconnect and rejoin your Wi-Fi network by selecting your network on the Apple TV and then choosing Forget Network. Rejoin your Wi-Fi network after it disconnects.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

  • FaceTime error unable to contact the FaceTime server

    I keep getting error on FaceTime. Unable to contact the FaceTime server?.

    Hi,
    I can confirm that yesterday I could not send pic in iMessages with Message beta or from my iPhone.
    Today I can.
    As Message beta (and in fact iChat 6) and FaceTime both use an App called IMAgent on the Mac to help with logins it is likely that the  same servers are involved at the Apple end.
    IMAgent also "Listens" when the computer is On but the apps are not launched for Off Line Calls.
    (iChat and iChatAgent has always done this for Off Line IMs from AIM Buddies and now IMAgent does it for Jabber and AIM in iChat or Messages and FaceTime)
    It seems the servers are back on line.

  • Error message? Unable to contact the FaceTime server.

  • Unable to contact the facetime server

    Hi, i can't use facetime anymore.
    I tried with all my Id and emails and also updated to IOS7 is the server down?
    What else can i try.
    Tks

    Judging by all the posts on the forum, there seems to be an issue at Apple's end, although they have made no announcement on their status page. Unfortunately, we may have to wait until Apple is more forthcoming with information.

    Settings > iMessage > Enter Apple ID
    I enter the info
    Click "Sign In"
    Prompted for my Apple ID Password again (in a pop up)
    Message appears "iMessage Activation" + "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again."

  • How can I stop the yellow browser bar from appearing? the one which says "unable to contact the login server"???

    this yellow bar appears constantly while I am using the internet. It says" LastPass was unable to contact the login server, etc., etc."
    It is very annoying, and causes my screen to jump about when it is being active.
    I am using windows 7 on a HP desktop.

    hello Larryrush, please contact lastpass's support about this issue - they can likely give you better advice and are the only people who can resolve server errors in their network.

    "LabVIEW FPGA was unable to contact the Compile Server at "localhost" on port 96. The server name or port may be incorrect, a firewall may be blocking communications with the server, or the configured timeout may be too low. You may reconfigure Compile Settings by clicking the Configure button or try contacting the Compile Server again by clicking the Retry button. Click the Cancel button to abort."

  • Itunes error when restore unable to contact the apple server at this time try again later, how do i get around this??

    restored through itunes as i bought it and coud not activate it. when restored searching....no sim... have rang up hpone if not blocked or anything and is on o2 can someone help me please?

    If the phone was hacked to unlock it, it will not be able to activate until and unless the original carrier authorizes unlocking it. Since the UK carriers will not authorize an unlock for a phone that is not actively in use on their network, and you will not be able to activate it on any network until after it is unlocked, you will most likely not be able to activate and use it at all. It's a catch-22.
    Return it to whereever you bought it and get a refund. Then buy a phone from a legitimate source.

  • My Adsense Ads do not show on Wordpress Blog Sidebar. All that shows is a blank box. The Adsense ads show just fine in Internet Explorer. What is wrong here?

    Adsense Ads are not showing up on my WordPress Blog Sidebar. The same ads are showing on Internet Explorer, but not on my Firefox Browser. What is wrong here?
    http://www.BuyBeadsOnlineBestChoice.com

    Actually, my AdSense is set up to work differently on the actual blog post pages. If you look at this link
    [http://mytruckalogue.blogspot.​com/2012/03/going-back-to-​work-for-marten_20.html http://mytruckalogue.blogspot.​com/2012/03/going-back-to-​work-for-marten_20.html]
    there should be
    1.) a 300x250 block of yellow text ads just under the the post title
    2.) a 300x250 block of yellow text or image ads at the top of the sidebar, and
    3.) a 300x250 block of template color text or image ads just under the Blog Archive.
    Incidentally, I can't see my blog at all at this moment because my company has disallowed viewing personal websites and blogs on their wifi. REAL bummer! Sitting in my truck waiting for dispatch and can 't work on my blog :-(
    But I'd be grateful to know if anyone else can see these ads - I can, at least, view this website.
    Thanks much :-)

    iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows
    iTunes reports that "iTunes cannot recognize this iPod at this time"
    Thanks,

    When I send emails using my iPad, some recipients are telling me that I am sending them blank emails.  I've had some of them forward the emails back to me so I can take a look and it seems that my message is actually there but the text is white.  Interestingly enough, I was a Windows user just a few months ago and I was on the receiving end of this same problem with someone who was sending emails from her iPhone.  I don't believe it is happening every time but if it happens even once it's a problem.  Any idea what's going on? 

    Oddly enough, having reported the problem it appears to have fixed itself. There may be some combination swipe gesture that triggers it is all I can think because I suddenly manged to zoom my display x3 by double tapping three fingers. Took me a while to sort this out but then when I got back home I could suddenly see all my emails again. Bizarre!

    Why doesn't apple have a file of events that ties to the iCal program and the Address book file? By having that relationship it seems that you could call up all of the events tied to a customer while in the address book or likewise call up all of the events tied to a contact that was in the iCal program as a scheduled meeting. Even in the to do's you could easily look back at the events tied to an individual so as to bring yourself up to speed with what you were doing with the individual in mind.

        I definitely understand your concern and I apologize for all the frustration. Verizon Wireless has a strong customer commitment to delivering the best from our service and staff. I am disappointed to hear the service you received did not reflect this commitment.
    I definitely want to help get to the bottom of this and further assist you. Please reply to my direct message so I can access your account and further assist. I am sure we can get this resolved.

    Try going to Settings>Store and sign out and sign back in.
    It also could be due to an Apple server problem. and yu will just have to wait and try again.
