Because something is wrong.
You will need to troubleshoot to find out what needs to be fixed.
One of these suggestions may resolve your trouble.
FaceTime (and other video) quality problems can be caused by problems at either end of the connection. Unless your video callers' FaceTime connections work properly with everyone else but you, both parities to the video call should consider these possibilities.
(1) Restart your iPad and test again. Sometimes a simple restart fixes things.
(2) Use a fast broadband internet connection for best possible FaceTime video.
Broadband speed matters at BOTH ends, so you use something like http://speedtest.net/ to test both ends of your video connections.
Speeds less than 300 Kbps (up and down) at both ends are unlikely to give best results.
(3) Try from a different wi-fi connection.
If the problem is ONLY at your current location, restarting your internet connection may help. Shut down your iPad or turn Airplane Mode "on". Then check your cable connections, restart your modem and wireless access point, reconnect iPad to the wi-fi, and test again.
If the problem remains but ONLY at your current location, there may be a problem with your internet service. Contact your ISP for help.
(4) Always use as much light as possible for best images (including video) from your iPad.

I had my iMac unplugged for about a week plugged it back in and now it's asking for a keychain password

The password is the same as your login password, unless you changed it.

I've had my new iMac for about a week now and am totally sick of Mavericks, I would appreciate any help you guys could give me to help me 'downgrade' to Mountain Lion. Thanks.

I understand that Mountain Lion has never been released on disc, so that would seem to be the major problem.
Thanks in advance

If the Mac came pre-installed with Mavericks you can't downgrade. Have a look at mine and den.thed's comments here:

I bought a $15 app GTA Vice City a while ago and I just started using it and it doesn't work. I checked all the requirements and my laptop meets all of them. I also have contacted Rockstar Games and they didn't help. Can I get my money back? Its annoying.

Hi. I have just started using Adobe Photo Elements 11 and Adobe Premiere Elements 11. I have many pictures in my photo gallery that I would like to use for a project that I am working on. I opened my photo gallery and it indicated that I could not use

Hi. I have just started using Adobe Photo Elements 11 and Adobe Premiere Elements 11. I have many pictures in my photo gallery that I would like to use in a project that I am working on. When I opened the photo gallery it said I could not use the photo gallery because it has not been updated. Can someone please help me with this...let me know how to do this...or...Thank you,

BNN, even though I understand what KT is saying, your thought resonates with mine. When it comes to building and maintaining my website, I see myself more as a photographer than as a web designer. Hence, even though Apple may not be actively developing (and we are guessing on this one, arent we) iWeb, the existing functionality should do plenty of good to me for next couple years at least.
That said, they released a point update a few days back and with the whole cloud thing building momentum and mobile me going for free, why would Apple want to pull the plug on such a fantastic product?

Had to replace iPad for new one when I sent to replace I pad would not charge now I am trying to retrieve my info from iCloud but can not find it how do I get my info from old iPad

Restore the backup of your old iPad to your new one, as explained here: iCloud: Restore your iOS device from iCloud.

I just started several different addresses why does the same email appear in every address

Just started using Thunderbird and now need several addresses. The top one is my main address but every email to that one appears in all the others as well.
I am sure the program should be able to deal with this.
Keep up the excellent work

Can you post a screenshot?
http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-create-screenshot-my-problem

I had two numbers for one of my contacts and I deleted one because it's no longer in use. But why does it appear when I type in the name (when starting a new message) with the word "other" next to it?

And how do it delete that "other" number entirely from my phone? I've tried deleteing the contact and adding it in again, but it still appears
Also, on an unrelated note, my phone tends to turn off at 10-7 percent. How can I fix this so it turns off after 1 percent? (the phone doesn't turn on after it turns off by itself unless you charge it)

1. Don't wait until your phone completely discharges before charging the battery. To help with the battery percentage reset your phone. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
2. The phone remembers recently used items in addition to stored items. So the contact you want to delete is presently in the recently used category. If that phone number is not used it will eventually disappear from your phone. Patience IDs the key here.

For some reason if I click a link that needs to open in a new window, the new window is blank. This just started happening when firefox updated itself last time

Ever since firefox automatically updated itself, I am not able to open websites in new windows - meaning that if I am on a website and you click a link on it that opens in a new window, that new window is blank. It used to work perfectly. I even checked my foxit reader and that it working well

Hello Angelika.
I should bring your attention to the fact that your user agent says you're using Firefox 3.6, not 3.0. I will remind you that Firefox 3.0 has been discontinued and is no longer supported. Furthermore, it has known bugs and security problems.
As for your problem, you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

Very slow connection for about one week

For the past week or so my connection speed has dropped massively, usually i could download at about 800kb/s and now it has reduced to around 5-10 kb/s.
My router is connected directly to the phone line, and is connected to my pc via an ethernet cable and and wirelessly to 1 laptop and an xbox 360.
I checked BT service statues and last week there was a problem (which has since been resolved) in the Bishop Auckland area - I have reset my router several times and the problem persists.
I have tried about a dozen times, but as of yet cannot get the BT speedtest to run, I enter my phone number and then the screen remains blank, I have tried this in firefox and IE on both my desktop and laptop. I will carry on trying.
My results from speed.io are quite confusing as the download and upload speeds are "excellent"

Permanent vertical blue line the screen and a red one has just popped up too. What does it mean and how can I get rid of them?

I have had a permanent vertical blue line on the right side of my imac screen for some time now. It does not affect the use of the computer. A red one has popped up on the right side of the screen and is not going away either.
Would you know why these are appearing and perhaps how to get rid of them please?
Thank you in advance

Best guess is that either your GPU or LCD is failing. You should take it to the nearest Apple Store or AASP for proper diagnostic. Once you know what the problem is you can decide wether or not it's worth repairing.

Why does my Keynote hyperlink take me to the wrong slide?

I've created a hyperlink to direct me to slide #2 in my presentation, but when I play the slideshow, it goes back to slide 1 instead. Please help!

Thanks, Gary! What I discovered in the course of following your suggestion was that if I hyperlink the *text box* it malfunctions, but if I highlight the *text* in the box, it works. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Why does only some of the tracks of an album appear on my ipad when syncing from my windows 7 using itunes?, why does only some of the tracks of an album appear on my ipad when syncing from my windows 7 using itunes?

i on day two of having an ipad, updated to io5 but putting music on it is proving tiresome. i've stored some 20gb on my netbook windows 7 from my larger library and using the sync process am trying to put tunes on the pad. when some albums appear they have one,maybe two songs available to play, the rest are grey and can't be played. It seems an endless process and this really is the only thing i've have concerns about i really like it.

That would be a question for Yahoo or Microsoft. It isn't your iPad that is doing this.

IOS 5 used to allow Airplay between iPad (WiFi) and Apple TV (Ethernet) as long as they were on the same network. In iOS 6, now both the iPad and the Apple TV have to be on the same network and both have to be connected using WiFi ? Why did they change ?

iOS 5 used to allow Airplay between iPad (WiFi) and Apple TV (Ethernet) as long as they were on the same network, i.e. connected to the same wired/wireless router. In iOS 6, now both the iPad and the Apple TV have to be on the same network and both have to be connected using WiFi ? Why did they change this ? Means that the iPad and the Apple TV box both have to be in range of the wireless router when this wasn't a restriction before. Apple TV could be anywhere as long as it was connected to the same wireless router via ethernet cable. Seems like an unnecessary thing to restrict.

I have found with AppleTV that it is the IPV6 on the computer you want to access is the problem. The issue is that Homegroup on Win 7 or Win 8 requires IPV6 to work, but AppleTV won't work with IPV6. (So maybe double check you have IPV6 turned off)
So you have to make a choice - Homegroup or AppleTV.... but you can't have both, until Apple brings ATV up to date. (crazy that it does not recognise IPV6 - c'mon Apple!)
You can set up sharing individually in Win 7 or 8 and have the ATV access files that way.
Having said that, there is always the exception.. I have an old HP home server running Win8 and it services ATV - but is part of the Homegroup... have no idea why it works on both, but no other machine on the home network will talk to both ATV and Homegroup at the same time!

When I bought my iPad and set up iCloud and started using iMessage the picture that comes up when I send a picture is not me but my stepdaughter. How do I change it? The ID picture on my iMac is me

When I bought my iPad and set up iCloud I started using iMessage but when I type a note and hit send the picture that comes up is not me but some one else that I know. I don,t even have this picture in my iPhoto's so don't know where it came from. My ID picture on my MacBook pro is correct. I went to settings, then messages but did not see a place to change the picture. Any ideas?

You set the picture in Contacts.
Open Contacts, select the person then tap Edit.
Tap the photo to change it.
