I'm having FaceTime connectivity issues

I'm having FaceTime connectivity issues. Every time I FaceTime other apple user the connections drops right away.

Well I'm here to own up. My dad was over today and he has an iPad 2 with iOS 7.1.1 and mine ran 6.1.2. Over the table both on my wifi I tried to call him on facetime and he tried to call me, in both cases it failed due to lost connection as previously discussed. He said they had used it to call my brother in england yesterday with no issue.
I bit the bullet and decided with extreme reluctance to do the upgrade. I did a full backup whilst downloading the update on my windows pc and after the sync I applied the update. Luckily for apple's sake the facetime connection now works both ways but I'm still left with this hideously atrocious UI color scheme. I can however report that i can see no noticable reduction in performance so far. As per suggested on some sites I disabled automatic downloads & updates and tweaked the accessibility settings to "reduce motion" and "increase contrast" including enabling button shapes and reducing white point. Everything seems to work fine and Thankfully I don'rt feel like I have a hobbled device. Clearly something between 7.0 and 7.1.1 has brought iPad 2 back up to speed so to speak.
Oh and I still hate you Apple, cheers.

Facetime Connection Issues - Mountain Lion

I upgraded to Mountain Lion - Facetime worked - it didn't before on Lion.
Symptoms are Facetime rings and then just sits there 'connecting...'
Thought the upgrade to Mountain Lion solved the problem, but now it's back! Have turned Facetime on and off, changed email address, changed DNS, all to no avail.
Can anybody offer any suggestions?
TIA
Andrew

I'm having the same issue with a mid 2007 iMac. I've deleted all the plist for facetime, logged in and out a few times, turned facetime on and off a few times, and restarted the system. So, everytime I've tried to make a facetime call the receiving party's computer facetime program doesn't come on. Everytime someone calls me via facetime on my iMac, the call will ring but never picks up. Also, the receiving party's computer is another imac with lion. Any ideas. Thanks.

Anyone having LTE connection issue after updating to 8.0.2.?

After updating my iPhone 5S to 8.0.2, I can no longer connect my phone to LTE but my iPhone 6 plus is fine. Anyone having the same issue?

The Health app won't work in iOS 8 after these steps. It will be fixed in our upcoming iOS 8.0.2 software update.

There is no IOS 8.0.2 out yet. There is no patch for iPhone5s.
This update is specific for iPhone6/6+ as indicated
Download the file below that corresponds to your device:
iPhone 6
iPhone 6 Plus
8.0.2 is out. But if it's true that 8.0.2 is only for iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, WHY would it appear on devices that aren't 6 or 6 plus? I have two 6 phones and the update went fine. But the update also appeared on our iPad's, which I downloaded and that went fine as well.

Is anyone else having charging connection issues with their generation 4 ipad?

My generation 4 ipad is having charging connections. When I plug it in to charge with the charger that came with it, the part that connects right to the actual ipad is not always connecting. Sometime I have to wiggle it around or angle it until I hear the sound of connection and can see on the screen that it is actually charging. Sometimes I will charge it and when I leave it is in charge mode but when I come back to check on it, it never charged at all. Is anyone else having this problem or know what might be wrong? I would think a brand new ipad wouldn't have a charging problem right out of the box.

Hi gruhland,
Thanks for your reply. It sounds like your device is actually in a restart loop, which is different from the process of a soft reset. Specifically, what I wanted you to try is this:
Resetting your device
If your device stops responding, you can reset it by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If resetting does not break the restart loop, it sounds like a different direction may be warranted here. Due to the nature of your issue you may find more assistance by using another one of Apple's support resources:

I am having wireless connectivity issues with my time capsule

Over the last 3 days my wireless devices have been having issues with connectivity.
Network setup:
Modem - Motorola SB5102 Cable Modem
1 TB Time Capsule 802.11n (second generation)
The devices are approximately 3 feet apart.
Wired Device:
Mac Pro (2008 build) running OSX 10.6.8, Airport Utility 5.6.1
Wireless Devices:
Playstation 3
Macbook Air
iPhone 5c
iPhone 4
I am having issues with internet connectivity. The wireless signal strength is fine as all devices can find the network. However when connected to the network accessing the internet on the Macbook Air, or either iPhone is slow and streaming services such as Netflix cannot connect. I have intermitant connectivity to the Playstation Network on the PS3.
I have wired both the Macbook Air and PS3 directly to the Time Capsule and have no issues, internet is accessible and streaming services are fine.
I have power cycled all the devices (Time Capsule, macbook, iphones, PS3, modem) to no result.
I am looking for any other suggestions that may help me with my wireless connectivity issue.

A Gen2 TC is probably on its last gasp.. and it is well overdue for replacement.
If you want to get more life out of it you normally need to repair or replace the internal power supply.. This is not done by apple or any of their repair centres.
Just do ebay search and you will find sellers with replacement supplies.
Otherwise to test, do a full factory reset..
I would also downgrade the firmware.. 7.5.2 will work just as well for you and has less bugs than 7.6.x firmware.
To downgrade hold down the option key when you select firmware version.
The Factory Reset universal
Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. The time is not important.. it is the front LED rapid flashing that indicates you are in factory mode.
Release reset.
If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have released reset at some point and try again.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.

FaceTime connection issues

I have a MBP, iPhone 4s, iPad 3, and iPad Mini. When I have an incoming FaceTime call, how do I choose which device the call is sent to/accepted by? I thought (today) of having each device accept for a single email address or phone number. I don't yet understand how FaceTime connections are made. I have the email address of a person I want to connect with FaceTime. That person's iPad (the only device) never receives the connection request. Is there a document or tutorial on connecting with multiple devices, et?
Mike

Hello there Mike,
Here is some information about FaceTime. The way FaceTime works is if you have multiple devices and they are all using the same Apple ID, then they will ALL get the request when somebody sends your Apple ID a request. Likewise, when you are sending a request to someone, it must be to their Apple ID or Cellular number. So to do what you mentioned, each device would have to be using its own Apple ID and thats not typically recommended as it can get very confusing.
This page tells you more about it and at the bottom shows how to set it up

Having a connectivity issue with bluetooth in car only when using siri

Does anyone know of a fix for connectivity issues when using siri to dial a number when using bluetooth in a car? If the number is inputted manually then the call goes through. When asking siri to make the call, it starts to go through but then quickly disconnects. I noticed the problem soon after downloading IOS 8.

Apple has no fix for this. I have been in contact with Apple customer service, engineering, etc. for over 2 months now. Very disappointing, as it worked fine prior to iOS 8.0.

Still having WiFi connectivity issues. What can I do to fix this?

I have the new Macbook Air 2013, and since day one i have had WiFi connectivity issues. I know that this problem has been worked on and that a recent release of an update could help fix this problem. However; nothing for me has changed. I connect to my home internet and sooner or later my MBA disconnects and i have to reconnect it by either turning the WiFi on and off or going into network diagnostics. The time of my Air actually being connected varies from a coulpe second to a couple minutes and occasionally I may get 30 to 45 minutes before a disconnect.
If you could help it would be much appreciated.

That statement is unfounded, actually. ALL of those currently with wifi issues are able to connect via their iphone hotspot, or by means of their homebase AIRPORT base station, .....indicative of a software/ firmware issue.
Most dont consider a minor software/firmware issue an empirical defect, anymoreso than "forgetting something" is an empirical defect in a human being is.
The "speaker issue" is now uttterly proven a simple software issue, soon to be fixed, same is the case with the wifi issue.
You're forgetting that Apples 802AC wifi is "next generation" 'tomorrows' technology. That a minor bug exists, soon to be fixed, is understandable. Look on the bright side, ....the Macbook AIR is #1 seller and most beloved superbook out there for many reasons

Having recent connectivity issues with AirPlay, it won't connect with Apple devices when promptedi have had no problems with AirPlay from my tablet until recently. I bring up the AirPlay button on my tablet, ipad 3, and I see the AirPlay button. I pl

i recently have been problem with my AppleTV. I select the AirPlay button on my ipad3 and select AppleTV below my iPad selection. The tablet thinks for a little bit, about 5 seconds, and then gives up, deselecting the AppleTV button and refreshing automatically to display on my tablet. My spouse has the same issue at the same time with her ipad air. All software is up to date and re verified wifi. The AppleTV can still stream from its internal apps. Seems like the only problem is AirPlay.
any ideas to fix this problem?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.
If you are still having problems, the following article(s) may help you.

Is anyone having WiFi connectivity issues with 6.02

Is anyone else having problems with connectivity to WiFi hotspots since upgrading to 6.02. I have an iPhone 5, and ever since I upgraded, I can't connect to public hotspots without first restarting the phone. An example would be AT&T WiFi at Starbucks. All I get is an endlessly spinning gear icon unitl I restart my phone. I'm currently traveling and staying in a Sheraton with free public WiFi in the lobby, and once again, I can't get the logon page to display without restarting the phone. While the problem seems most prevelant with sites that require the opening of a web page to accept terms, it happened to me today at someones house where the only way I could successfully connect to their wireless was to restart. Until I did, the gear icon just kept spinning. Once I restarted I was able to connect successfully. This is becoming a major PITA!
I sure hope that engineering gets this corrected in 6.1. I expect more of Apple than to say they've upgraded iOS to fix WiFi issues, only to make them worse.

I have this same issue. I'm hoping there is another update in the works. I finally got the issue resolved when my new Iphone 6+ continued to crash so now I'm dealing with internet issues. Phone resets are not helping!

Having a connection issue with the WRT54GS Wireless Router

We just recently got Broadband internet. We had issues with it at first, because the Ethernet cable included wasn't working properly, and instead, the guy got us connected via USB cable. Now, I just bought this Router yesterday, and made the mistake of unplugging the USB and plugging in the extra cable. I did everything as instructed in the Easylink Advisor program. My connection was messed up, and I could not connect at all. After calling Tech support, they reset our modem and everything (cable modem and internet-wise) is as good as new. I went out and bought a new Ethernet cable, so now I have 2 perfectly new cables, and left the USB cable plugged in, so I don't throw it off as I did yesterday. I still can't get the Port 1 light to come on. the WLAN light is on, as well as the Internet light, but no Port lights will turn on. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance! -Chris-

Are you getting online via ethernet with the modem now? Make sure your local area network is enabled. Go to control panel then network connections.

Solution for FaceTime connectivity issue

Read this if your FaceTime sometimes works and sometimes not:
What I have experienced was that at home I could not FaceTime with whatever mac device (iMac / MacBook / iPod touch) reliably. Sometimes it was possible sometimes not.
The same devices in another network (my GF / Apple Store) FaceTime was reliable.
In another thread on AD I found this suggestion to change the DNS into the google DNS 8.8.8.8
This finally after months of trouble shooting solved the issue. I consequently changed the DNS on all devices into 8.8.8.8.
I went as far as to reproduce the fault. I changed my iPod touch DNS back into 192.168.1.1. restarted. FaceTime failed. Then a minute later changed DNS back to 8.8.8.8 and again FaceTime was possible.
I'm so happy that this is finally solved.
iMac 10,1 Mac OS X (10.6.3)

I tried all the network DNS settings on my router and on my mac, I tried re-installing the application, I tried deleting the .plist file.... NOTHING WORKED...... HOWEVER.....
I called Mac support half hour before they closed last night, and in that time we managed to establish that the problem lies with preferences or faults with my USER account, NOT my network settings...
Try it yourself - Create another user account called 'TEST', log out of your main account completely (Don't use fast user switching), log into your TEST account and use FaceTime... Bet you it works!... It did for me!
I'm in the process of transferring all my documents and mail accounts over to the new user account I created. (As I also had other problems... Like Safari and Mail warning me ALL THE TIME that certificates weren't trusted... It was driving me nuts)
Good luck people, let me know if it works for you....

My macbook 10.5.8 is having airport connectivity issues

I have a macbook 10.5.8 with intel core 2 duo. Everytime i log in, my internet works for 2 seconds, and then i automatically get switched to a guest wifi network from my neighbor. Which doesn't even work. When i try to connect to my network, it continually says connection timeout. This has been happening for over 3 years. I have restored my router AND my modem to factory settings, but it still doesn't work. If i turn off airport, it works again for 2 secs. then goes back to not working. I really need help. please contribute, thank you.

It depends on your Macbook model how to open the bottom case.
Anyway you need to open up the buttom case or keyboard panel to access the CPU fan like following.

If you think you can't do that by yourself, you'd better bring it to Apple Store Genius Bar or Authorized Servce Shop to tell them about the problem.
