I can't get Facetime to work

I cant get Facetime to work. When someone calls me it says call failed. I have used it in the past successfully.

Apple has released a document which is reported to address the recent FaceTime issue.

My ipad and iPhone have different email addresses in the FaceTime field but I can only get FaceTime to work on my iPhone, how can I get them both working on facebook

My ipad has a different email address than my iPhone, both are mine but I can only get FaceTime to work on my iPhone but seem unable to change the email address in that field

If the basics (restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new) don't work, you'll need to bring the phone to Apple for evaluation

I can't get FaceTime to work since maverick update

I can't get facetime to work since Maverick update just won't go past sing in and sometimes won't sing in ! Anyone got an answer please?

Try to turn your computer clear off and be sure you check Software Update again, and Always turn your computer clear OFF afterward and then RESTART and see how that works out for you.

I can't get FaceTime to work, yes I have wi-fi.

i can not get FaceTime to work, yes it's on, yes my account and e-mail match, wi-Fi is on and full strength.
HELP.
< Edited by Host >

Just because you have the wifi signal strength bars, doesn't guarantee you're actually on wifi. Can you open a website in Safari? Can you download an App from the App Store? If you can't, you're not on wifi.
Did you set up facetime using your Apple ID, not necessary your email address?

Can't get FaceTime to work...any suggestions...it just keeps me in this loop of asking to sign in, then verifying, then asking to sign in again. I know the username and password are correct.

Can't get face time to work. Know the username and password are right. Asks me to sign in...verifying... And then goes back to sign in...

One thing that worked for me:
launched Message app which uses the same backend as Facetime. If it launches, click on the video. May display a Error Dialog. Call AppleCare and give them the number displayed. This will give them the needed info to check your AppleID account for the messaging servers
For some reason FaceTime did not display this error, yet once I gave the Support person the number it was fixed in just a minute.
YMMV

Can't get FaceTime to work on my iPad

I have wifi and a data plan. I added the contact with iPhone number from his iPad. Always says he is not available. Any ideas.

Goto settings>FaceTime register with your apple ID goto settings>general>restrictions check that FaceTime,camera switched on goto>settings>general>date&time make sure it is set to automatically on hope this helps FaceTime only works on wifi so the other person u wish to talk has 2b on wifi

HT204408 I can not get facetime to work on Mac

I can log into store and icloud but when trying to start facetime on Mac I get a "can not verify email address". I have used it successfully in the past

This happened to me too but after I had read various messages on this forum I went into system preferences/date and time and unclicked the set date and time automatically. For some reason the preferences on facetime were no longer greyed out and facetime worked again! Hope this helps

Can not get FaceTime to work in Lion

FaceTime does not connect to server under Lion.

I did face (no pun intended) the same issue and I think I've found the culprit(s).
Like in any good conspiracy theory, there's always agents provocateurs to seek out and vanquish.
I have replied in one other thread about it already, but cannot find which one now.
So here it is again:
Look in all active/open accounts in your computer if there is any other communication or notification app or program running in your computer such as:
1- Skype
2- iChat
3- MS Messenger
4- Yahoo Messenger
5- Growl
6- etc.
How can you find them all if you have other accounts opened beside yours? Answer is - use 'Activity Monitor' app for the endeavor. Either find it in the 'Launcher' 'Utilities' group or in the 'Finder' 'Applications + Utilities' folder. Run 'Activity Monitor' and select 'All Processes' from the drop down menu on the top right end of the application's window. Then, click on the 'Process Name' title bar column to sort them all alphabetically. Scroll up and down until you find them all and click the red icon 'Quit' to terminate each and every one. The one caveat is that applications running outside of your account will require an adminstrator's approval, but I do assume you are the owner and therefore the official administrator.
Once the relatively short task of terminating all Facetime's competitors is complete, then go ahead and start Facetime now. It may take a longer time to start this time and you'll see the video camera's green light going off maybe for the first time ever.
By no means I do guarantee this procedure will work a 100% with everyone, because there are so many other probable causes to the problem that this advice simpy won't apply to at all. But, if it happens to work or not for you, then please consider replying with your results and comments so we can continue investigating and experimenting with more effective workarounds.
If it worked for you, then the next step will be to seek and eliminate all of these applications from running at startup or sign on while logging into your account, but that's a whole different procedure altogether which I rather forego at the moment until someone request it.
Good luck then!

I bought an iPhone 6 while passing through Dubai and I can't get FaceTime to work. I live in Malta.

Hi, I just recently both my iPhone 6 while in Dubai and when I got home to Malta I realised FaceTime doesn't work. I have done a software reset but it didn't change anything. Is there another way round this and why are they not informing people that it's banned there so this can happen.

FaceTime is banned from phones made for the Dubai market. There is no way to add it.
Pete
