I try to use facetime to make video calls to a Macbook. Is there any guide how to do it? On apple website it says:

With the tap of a button, you can wave hello to your kids, share a smile from across the globe, or watch your best friend laugh at your stories — iPhone 4 to iPhone 4, iPad 2, the new iPod touch, or Mac over Wi-Fi.

Dave, Thank You
I had already two cases open but the persons at Apple Support I talked to did not understand the problem and gave some stupid advice, but your answer was exact on the money.

FIX:
1. You need Time Machine
2. Go to folder /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/
3. Copy AppleCamera.plugin to good place (usb memory stick is the best place).
4. Go to Time machine in date that skype work fine.
5. Change AppleCamera.plugin with file from Time Machine
6. Restart system, Now skype need to work with camera.
If that doesnt pass,

Why can I not make video calls using Skype?

I'm really baffled. I have a month old MacBook Air. I use Skype daily for work and personal business. Never had a problem until this evening. I went to make a video call and Skype was not linked with the camera - there was no option to make a video call and when I went into Preferences, it said I had no camera. I then used FaceTime - person I was calling also had FaceTime, so it wasn't an issue - but I've now spent an hour trying to solved the problem, including logging in and out of Skype, closing the app and reinstalling, all to no avail. The camera functions fine with FT and other apps - why will it not sync up with Skype after it's worked fine? Anyone have a clue? Thanks in advance.

Not on an Apple device, no.
Things are not the way popular movies and TV shows would have one believe.
Apple goes to extremes to ensure your personal information remains protected, to a far greater extent than any other consumer product manufacturer on Earth.
Your FaceTime videos, Messages, and everything else you do with your iPhone are as secure as your iCloud credentials.
Anyone with your iCloud or Apple ID credentials has complete and unfettered access to everything associated with them, equal to that of your own, so keep them secure. Never divulge them to anyone you would not trust equally with your wallet, your girlfriend / boyfriend / spouse / child / Lamborghini etc.

Can iphone 4 make video calls using skype over 3g?

Hello,can i make video calls on iphone 4 using skype over 3g network?

Yes, Skype can make video calls over 3G. You do NOT need to jailbreak your phone. I believe the previous poster thought you were asking about FaceTime which does not work over 3G.

Why do I get a "poor connection" error every time I try to use FaceTime on my new router

I Have a new router, now every time I try to use facetime I get "poor connection" error. Can anyone help?

Did you already check this article?
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
More things to try:
Wi-Fi network issues
Make sure that your Wi-Fi network is set up using the recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points.
If you encounter issues using a Wi-Fi network, use standard Wi-Fi network troubleshooting to resolve interference and other issues.
If you're using router, firewall, or security software that restricts Internet access, make sure that the ports documented in Using FaceTime behind a Firewall are open.
FaceTime requires a broadband connection. Performance might vary according to network throughput and usage.

Hello BassoonPlayer,
Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using. FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in. This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly. By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you. Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

Can't make video calls to Canada from UK

I am old age pensioner, new to Skype, but have new Skype compliant TV and video camera. When I try to call Toronto in Canada (where part of my family have recently located) the call connects and immediately terminates with the message 'connection dropped due to network failure'.
I can make video calls to other members of my family in the UK with no difficulty. I also have high speed broadband.
Any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If it's only happening to that one contact then the issue may very well be on their end. Their Internet speed, version, and router settings are a consideration. You can pass this information along to them:
1. Make sure they are using the latest version of Skype.
2. Hopefully their Internet speed is ample. For Skype to get the most out of that speed, you can suggest they place their computers's IP in the DMZ or their router or forward TCP/UDP ports 1024-65535. Disabling the use of 80/443 and uPnP in the Skype client software (if the option exists) can resolve stability issues. This can be done on your end as well to provide the most ideal conditions.
3. If they are going wireless have them try to go wired to see if anything changes.

Help! Am logged on but can't make video calls
