I had facetime but now it is gone

hi
ihave used facetime in the past on my iphone4. but when i went to use it today i was unable to. i had a look in settings>phone and there isnt even a option there to enable facetime. anyone have any ideas?

FaceTime missing on your iPhone 4? Here’s how to fix it.
I discovered today that FaceTime didn’t work on my iPhone 4: people couldn’t start FaceTime calls with me and I didn’t have any of the FaceTime buttons present. Turns out that this problem is caused when restoring from an iPhone 3G running iOS 4 — it seems the FaceTime on/off setting is imported from the iPhone 3G (which has it turned off as it doesn’t support FaceTime). Going into Settings > Phone and then flipping FaceTime on solved it for me.
Other people seem to have had to jump through a couple of extra hoops to get this to work, if flipping the switch didn’t get you going, take a look at this post over at the Rusty Brick blog.
Update 2010-08-22: Still having trouble? Did you jailbreak your iPhone 4? There’s something else that might stop this working too.

  • Can't update to ios7 on ipod touch 4th generation on this ipod. had facetime but now it requires ios7 so i have it no more and used it a lot with family. would have to buy new ipod. apple should not take away the capabilities you have already paid for

    found out i can't update ipod touch 4th generation to ios7 which is now required to use facetime. have used facetime for several years with family now can't use. Apple should not take away the capabilities you already have paid for!!

    No correct, you do not need iOS for FaceTime. You only needed to update to iOS 6.1.6.

    Hi Kenny Fikes,
    You can access Acrobat online services using this Link ( cloud.acrobat.com ) , although you might need to sign-in using your Adobe ID, before you can access those services.
    Does that help? Please reply back for any further query or assistance.

    Thanks for your answer...
    My iPhone was connected to a wifi internet when I tried to activate it and when I tried activation by iTunes I was using my laptop with windows 7 which was connected to internet by cable.
    I updated my iPhone to IOS 7 when I was in Egypt and I had no problems with updating it and I can't remember if finding my iPhone option was on or off before updating to IOS 7 and as i understood from searching internet that to use iCloud Finder on web from computer to find my iPhone it should be set up already on my iPhone and I didn't set up iCloud on my iPhone before and my Apple ID wasn't verified for iCloud till today, I verfied it by logging in iCloud from a friend iPad.
    I was considering already the option that my iPhone has been hacked but if this happened so how I would unlock my iPhone and activate it to back to work? who would help me with that? I'm so tired of being without my phone for almost 4 days and I started to consider not having any Apple product anymore... I think that this way to secure the consumer has a lot of conflicts...

  • Before the recent updates to Firefox, clicking on the back button always brought me back to the same place on the page where I had been, but now it brings me to the top of the page. How do I restore the previous feature?

    Before the recent updates to Firefox, when I would go to another page in the same window and then clickon the back button, Firefox used to bring me back to the same place on the page where I had been, but now it brings me to the top of the page, meaning that I have to laboriously scroll down to the old place. How do I restore the previous feature?

    That change was made in Firefox 4, 6 months ago.
    Click-hold the unified Back / Forward button <br />
    or <br />
    right-click it to get the Back / Forward history for that tab.
    Or install this extension to get the old "drop-marker" button restored. <br />

  • Yahoo is my homepage, when I downloaded Firefox 4 my email was on the right in place of page options and I liked it better, but now it has gone back to the old way on the left, why is this

    Yahoo is my homepage, I have been using Firefox for years but when I downloaded Firefox 4 my yahoo email was on the right in place of page options and I liked it better, it was there for a while but now it has gone back to the old way on the left, why is this

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
    If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

    Have you tried this...
    Reset all settings

    This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings.

  • I have installrd Fire Fox which I had before but now it will not search for me

    Yes I have had Mozilla fire fox before for some time but it played up so I uninstalled it and the reinstalled it
    but now it installs but it will not search for me

    Try to use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
    Current Firefox versions use the default search engine (pref: browser.search.defaultenginename) to set the search engine that is used on the about:home page.
    Check the <b>browser.search.defaultenginename</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page and make sure that it is set to the default value Google.

  • I upgraded recently, had the "go back" arrow and favorites/bookmarks-then one day it was gone! I did have the firefox button to get to my bookmarks, but now that is gone too! I am not liking this but hate to go back to using Explorer-what is going on?

    All of these changes were within the last week.

    If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
    * If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    * If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

  • I imported a bunch of photos from my phone to iPhoto but now they're gone

    I just completed a huge import of hundreds of photos and a bunch of videos (maybe 10 GB).  It took forever.  At the end it said "your photos have been imported successfully" and "Do you want to delete from your iPhone".  I stupidly said yes and deleted them.  They're gone now but they're also not in iPhoto.
    Can anyone explain where iPhoto stores its data so I can go search for it manually?  I can't believe they're all gone.  There were a lot of things copied.

    I need a special tool just to access my own photos?
    I suggested "Find any File" because it is easier to use than the Finder's search - the results there will depend, on what you have included in your Spotlight index.
    To search using the Finder, open a Finder window; press the key combination ⌘F, and then set the search window to search "This Mac" and "Kind is 'Photo Library'"
    Only, if the library should have become corrupted, this may not work. And the search will not look inside the packages.
    The whole iPhoto library directory is only 556 MB so I guess the videos are lost for good.
    How is the "Importing > Copy items to the iPhoto Library" flag set? See my last post.
    If you imported with "store files" in there original location, the photos and videos will have remained on the card, until the crad has been erased.
    Is there a way to start iPhoto from scratch so at least I can start over and have it not destory all my data next time?
    You can create a new iphoto library, by using the command "File > Switch to Library > Create New".
    Is there way to import my photos and videos without using iPhoto?
    You can use the utility "Image Capture", that comes with every Mac  to import your photos to folders on your Mac.
    This program is horrendous!
    I never had problems with it and like it, but I understand  ....

  • Album artwork used to appear, but now all is gone!

    I updated my iPod with new artwork at one point, but the artwork did not appear on my iPod. So, I naturally reconnected it and checked, and it was there in iTunes. I looked online and followed the usual recommendation of artwork problems by unchecking and rechecking the "Show Artwork on iPod" box and applying the changes. Now ALL of my artwork is gone from my iPod!
    The artwork still shows up in iTunes when I play individual songs, but not when I see the Info for a group of songs on the same album. I try to re-add the artwork in the box, but it won't rewrite the ID3 tags, save the change or anything. So, I have no artwork on my iPod, but it still appears on my songs when I view them in iTunes. How can I solve this?
