I do not like the way IOS 7 looks but I want my FaceTime to work-how can I use FaceTime which is a feature I paid for without having to change my phone to iOS 7?

I do not think someone should be forced to upgrade to iOS 7 (I think it's ugly design-wise) just to get FaceTime to work. I paid for a phone that has FaceTime as a feature and I think my feature should work without me having to change my phone.

I also have this problem... For all of the people above who are getting snotty - you're being rather single-minded about your particular use of the iPhone. I live in an African country where it's typical to wait 10 minutes for a medium sized PDF file to upload. I purchased an iPhone 4S in large part due to Facetime being the most stable option for video calls with my parents. Here, I **cannot** update my iOS, the available internet simply does not allow for it. My parents, who live in Canada, but in a remote area where they rely on cellular data, also purchased iPhones in order to use Facetime. But Apple does not allow updating the iOS over data!
The Windows example above is a perfect demonstration of just why this is unacceptable -- internet explorer does not simply cease to function one day (without warning), forcing me to update to a different version of Windows or use an alternative. If I start out having it, I will continue to have it.
It is unacceptable to market a product for its features, then require the buyer to take additional steps in order to restore said feature. If I am required to update in order to get cool *new* features, that is totally fair. But it is not unreasonable to expect that a relatively new product should continue working as advertised, and as it has been!
If anyone learns of any other possible solutions, I will be delighted to hear them.

I purchased the multi-user iworks (yes back when it was new, 2009 or 2010 and recently had to replace my white imac's hard drive (but didn't pay to fix the CD drive). My iworks does not have a serial number on the box and now that my CD drive isn't working how can I reinstall this software?

Buy or borrow an external USB optical drive.
See the confirmation email or covering letter to obtain the serial number. If you have lost it, contact the supplier.

If the drive has more than one interface (USB, FireWire, Thunderbolt, eSATA), try one of the other interfaces.
Check that the data cable is securely inserted at both ends.
Try a different cable.
If you're connecting the drive through a hub, connect it directly to a built-in port on the Mac.
If you're connecting it directly, try a different port.
Disconnect all other devices on the bus, or as many as possible.
Test the drive with another Mac. Test another drive with this Mac.
If the drive is bus-powered, but has an AC adapter, connect the adapter.
Start up in Recovery mode and launch Disk Utility. Is the drive recognized?
Start up in Safe Mode and test.
Reset the NVRAM.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If the drive doesn't work under any of the above conditions, and if another drive does work with the same Mac, then the drive is malfunctioning.

The Mac uses a highly-parameterized universal Driver for every display. The parameters are set at certain times when a query is sent to your display. The display MUST answer with its name and capabilities, or the screen stays dark. A TV set that is off or "not paying attention" because it is set to a different port when the query occurs will rarely answer, and so will often remain dark.
You can use tools in the System Report to see whether your display has been detected at all. If it has, the report will look something like this, but its name will appear:
The times when the query is sent are:
• at Startup
• at wake from sleep
• when the Mac-end of the cable is inserted
• when using the Option ( Detect Displays ) button in displays preferences

How can I use FaceTime between 2 I-Pads sharing the same email account

How can I use FaceTime between 2 I-Pads sharing the same email address

Cstearns-
I only have one iPad, but was able to add myself to the list of Favorites. When I tried to call, I was not available!
You should also take a look at the Skype App for iPhone. It works on the iPad, where you can choose 2X to expand the display. I haven't tried to add myself to Skype, but have been able to have it connected on both my computer and the iPad at the same time.
You might also consider getting a second address from G-Mail, just for use with FaceTime.

I have a Philippine Store account, and currenty Iam here in Bahrain, and the only itunes cards available here is US store itunes card, How can I use it?

You can't - to be able to redeem and use a US iTunes gift card you will need to be in the US with a US billing address on your account. Whilst you are in the Bahrain you can only use the Bahraini store, and you will need a Bahraini billing address on your account

Hello Sudhanshu Mishra,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
You can have iTunes reference the content where ever it is on your HDD without copying the content to the iTunes library, thus using twice the space.
If iTunes is set to "Copy files to the iTunes Music folder when adding to library," iTunes will copy all content that is added to the iTunes library to the iTunes Music folder. To adjust this setting or change the location of this folder, go to the Advanced tab in iTunes Preferences.
From: Adding music and other content to iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1473
Additionally if you want the content to then ALSO be located in your iTunes Library folder so everything is all kept together nice and tidy, use this:
Consolidate your files in the iTunes folder
Depending on how you imported items into iTunes, some items in your library might be stored in different locations (in another folder or on another hard disk, for example).
You can consolidate all the files in your library in the iTunes folder—for example, to make it easier to move your library to a new computer.
Choose File > Library > Organize Library.
Select “Consolidate files.”Files remain in their original locations, and copies are placed in the iTunes folder.
To create folders (Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, Audiobooks, and so on) inside your iTunes folder, and place all your imported media files in the appropriate folders, select “Reorganize files in the folder ‘iTunes Media.’”

My wife's iTunes used ID will not work. Tried resetting the password, but email was not received. Tried using personal questions method, but would not accept the correct date of birth, so could not go any further. Has her iTunes ID been hacked? How can I fix this?

Thanks for that advice @randers4.
I linked through and submitted my info as a "topic not covered" in the iCloud section. After entering the serial number of my MBP it turns out I wasn't eligible for technical support (though I don't think this is hardware related support) and the final suggestion was to take my computer into an Apple store. I called my local Apple reseller and asked for assistance. The customer service rep was very nice but unable to help, so suggested I call Apple Support on 1300 321 456. I did so and, again, spoke to two very polite and helpful customer service people (I was transferred to security services). I didn't have to be on hold to speak to either rep for more than a few seconds! After trying a few different things, he worked out what was happening...
So, to cut a long story short, to solve the problem in my OP, all I had to do was log out of iCloud in my System Preferences and log back in using my current Apple ID. [Edited to add that I had to sign out of everything I was currently signed in to with my Apple ID before logging out and in again.]
Problem solved!

i wanted to know if there is any way i can activate facetime on it .
i am having the same problem with the 4s i purchased from riyadh .

You can't. FaceTime has been permanently removed from your phone, there is no way to add it back. Next time, buy your phone in India.
BTW: Your warranty & support will only be valid in the UAE.

As I was installing the Windows 7 on my Imac and stated how I wanted to divide the drive I put 160, but I want to add more space how can I can the drive space to from 160 to 250? please help thank you.

As I was installing the Windows 7 on my Imacwith the bootcamp and stated how I wanted to divide the drive I put 160, but I want to add more space because of the adobe software it will not install two of them, so how can I add more on the drive space to from 160 to 250? please help thank you.

I'm not sure this is what you're looking for, but it might help:
"If you made the Windows partition too small
First, back up all the information on your Windows partition. Then run Boot Camp
Assistant to restore your disk to a single volume. Restart your computer and use Boot
Camp Assistant to partition the disk again and reinstall Windows. Don’t forget to install
the Boot Camp drivers after installing Windows."
