Ipad 2 - can no longer connect to facetime

We had to restore my daughters Ipad 2 completely as the battery was running down completely within a couple of hours.
She no longer can access facetime.
I see in Settings, restrictions the facetime "app" but it won't let me swipe it to turn it on.
Can anyone help?

Yeah, I've seen the play out before with past iOS updates (re: unresponsive slide to unlock/cannot answer calls). Thousands of people complain but the AFB's jump all over them by calling them newbs or worse. Then Apple releases a patch and the problems quietly disappear. It is kind of annoying to see this replay! Please don't be so sure that it isn't a bug. The fact is, Apple made patches and despite the homogeneous nature of iPhones, there are still literally millions of possible ways that iOS patches can affect some phones but not all phones. You cannot claim unequivocally, that this is NOT a bug.
So you are suggesting that all the complaints about this issue are imaginary?
As it relates to my situation, I have two iPods, one iPad, two iPhones, a desktop, and an Android tablet.... only the two iPhones lose the WiFi connection (during standby) and these devices were both updated to iOS 7.1.2.
Solution: It's the WiFi on my router that is at fault?

I never made any claim as to the number of people affected. Besides, even if only 50 people posted messages to this forum, the number of people who do not participate in the Apple forum far outnumber the people who do.
With all due respect, I appreciate your attempt to help. In fact, to humor you... I will power off my router, just like you describe (can't hurt... it hasn't been powered down in about a year now).
I'll reply back with a "thank you", if your suggestion worked.

  • Can no longer connect through Facetime on my MacBook

    I can not longer connect to other Facetime users via my MacBook Pro.  Has anyone experienced this issue?

    Hi PI Gadget,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    Take a look at the article below, it provides tips that should help you resolve the FaceTime connection issue.
    FaceTime for Mac: Troubleshooting FaceTime
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4185
    Troubleshooting FaceTime for Mac
    You can make FaceTime calls using the FaceTime app. You can call FaceTime users whose contact information is in Contacts. You can add contacts and edit contact information in either FaceTime or Contacts. To place a video call, you may use a phone number or email address.
    If you encounter issues making or receiving FaceTime calls, try the following:
    Verify that FaceTime is enabled in FaceTime > Preferences.If the issue persists, or if you see the message "Waiting for Activation", try toggling FaceTime off and then on.
    Verify that the Date, Time, and Time Zone are set correctly:
    From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences > Date & Time > Date & Time.
    Enable "Set Automatically".
    Click the Time Zone tab and confirm the closest city is correct.
    Verify that both parties are connected to an active broadband Internet connection.
    See Mac OS X: Troubleshooting a cable modem, DSL, or LAN Internet connection.
    Consult Using FaceTime behind a firewall for necessary ports to open in firewalls, security software and routers.
    If you encounter issues using a Wi-Fi network, use standard Wi-Fi network troubleshooting to resolve interference and other issues.
    Verify the phone number or email address being used is the correct one activated for FaceTime.You can verify that you are using a valid Apple ID at appleid.apple.com. You can also create an Apple ID or reset your password from this website.
    Verify that both parties have installed the latest software updates for their Mac and/or device. See:

  • My iPad mini can no longer connect to verizon cellular data network.

    My ipad mini no longer communicates with the Verizon network,I can see the signal strength is good but no connection,yes I have paid the bill it shows I have plenty of data usage left. I called Verizon to see if there were network issues in my area,but there is not. They opened a trouble ticket for tech support to track,I have not heard back after 3 days. It has worked great for about a year now,just wondering if others have experinced this. I purchsed from a major retailer with a 2 year warranty extention so I have a year left for service/replacement,fortunately.

    Not sure but you might have tried this but it wasn't specifically mentioned.
    Turn off Wi-Fi. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. You should or might see No Service in the upper left corner of the iPad. Wait a little while to see if that changes. If it turns to the signal strength indicator then attempt to connect to the internet to see if your data works. If it does you can turn Wi-Fi back on.
    You might consider having your iPad examined by a technician. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • I can no longer connect to the available wi fi networks with my ipad 1

    For some reason I can no longer connect to the available wi-fi networks with my ipad...help

    If no change after powering your iPad off and on and/or after a reset which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release, try resetting network settings on your iPad at Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will erase all saved wi-fi network settings from your iPad. This will require rejoining every wi-fi network your iPad has access to when returning within range of such a network.
    If no change after this, try restoring your iPad with iTunes as a new iPad or not from your iPad's backup.
    If no change after restoring as a new iPad, your iPad has a hardware problem.

  • I upgraded my iPad 2 (3G) to the new OS8 and I can no longer connect to 3G.  All the settings on the iPad are correct.  It just shows that it's searching for a signal.  I'm in an area where my signal (pre OS8) was very good in strength.  Please help!

  • Can no longer connect iPad Mini 2 to iPhone 6 Personal Hotspot (iOS 8.1.2 on both)

    I can no longer connect my iPad Mini 2 w/ iOS 8.1.2 to connect to my iPhone 6 (iOS 8.1.2, Verizon Wireless) running Personal Hotspot.The iPad displays the error "Remote Hotspot Failure - Unable to start personal hotspot "iPhone.  However, my Windows 8.1 laptop connects to the iPhone just fine. The iPad connection problem occurs with or without the Windows laptop connected or even turned on.
    Both the iPhone and iPad have Bluetooth and WiFi on, and the iPhone has Hotspot active. The iPad shows the iPhone Personal Hotspot on the WiFi Settings page, but throws the error each time i attempt to connect. Additionally, the iPhone shows 1 Connection on Personal Hotspot even though I have no devices connected. I have reset my network settings twice on both the iPhone and iPad.
    BTW - I used to be able to connect the iPad to the Hotspot prior to updating to iOS 8.1.2 on both devices.

    Forgetting the hotspot on the iPad sent me in the right direction. I now have it working correctly, and seem to have diagnosed the cause.
    The cause seems to be that I had connected the iPad to the Hotspot via Bluetooth. Once I figured out how to delete that link, I was finally able to connect to the Hotspot. Here is what I had to do:
    On the iPhone:
    - Turn on WiFi and Bluetooth
    - Turn on Personal Hotspot and change the Hotspot password (this may not have been necessary, but things are now working)
    On the iPad:
    Reset all network settings:
    Settings -> General -> Reset (at bottom of page) -> Reset Network Settings (deletes all known networks and their passwords and restarts the iPad)
    Turn on WiFi and Bluetooth (I had found that Bluetooth must be on is necessary in some other research)
    DO NOT CONNECT TO THE PERSONAL HOTSPOT USING BLUETOOTH - DON'T GO THERE!
    Connect to the Hotspot using WiFi
    Settings ->WiFi
    - Wait until you see "iPhone" under PERSONAL HOTSPOTS (or maybe CHOOSE A NETWORK)
    - Select "iPhone"
    - Enter the (new) password that you set on for the PERSONAL HOTSPOT on the iPhone
    You should now be connected via WiFi
    Bottom line: Unless you have some VERY compelling reason to connect to the Hotspot via Bluetooth, NEVER do it. WiFi speed is multiples that of Bluetooth. With WiFi using Broadband Speedtest over Verizon LTE - 2 bars/dots - I am consistently getting between 15 and 20 Mb download and 3-15 Mb upload. With Bluteooth using the same test, I was getting about 1 Mb maximum upload and download.
    I hope this solves the problem for all reading this thread. And thank you ManSinha for the helpful clue.

  • When I upgraded my iMac to Lion I can no longer connect the iPad 2 to WiFi.  It gives me a message unable to search for WiFi.  Before the upgrade to Lion it worked fine.  What gives?

    When I upgraded my iMac to Lion I can no longer connect the iPad 2 to WiFi.  It gives me a message unable to search for WiFi.  Before the upgrade to Lion it worked fine.  What gives?

    Could there be a setting I need to adjust in the iPad2?  When I try to turn on WiFi and enter the name of the WiFi that I have established, including the security type and the password, I get the message "Could not scan for wireless networks."  Is there a setting in iCloud or other location that needs to be changed?

  • I set up Keychain and do not have access to the telephone I gave.  Now I can no longer connect my ipad to my windows computer.  I can not turn off Keychain...it is awaiting authorization from the SMS on the telephone I do not have access to.

    I set up Keychain and do not have access to the telephone I gave.  Now I can no longer connect my ipad to my windows computer, itunes does not automatically open when I plug in the USB.  I can not turn off Keychain in my ipad since authorization is pending awaiting the code sent by SMS, which I can not get.  Can someone advise how to get rid of Keychain.  Should I cancel my icloud account?

    I appreciate your help.
    Have reset the ipad, but that changed nothing.  I can not turn off Keychain, iit remains "pending approval".  Probably, the only thing to do is to close my icloud account...which I hate to do since there is a lot of data saved there.  But, I am unable to back the ipad up on my Windows 8 computer because itunes no longer opens when the ipad is attached.
    Oh well...computers are computers and it is impossible to cover 100% of the situations.
    Keychain iss not the best app for someone who lives in 3 different countries.

  • I have a uk iTunes account but have moved to the Netherlands and can no longer connect to the iStore from my iPad. Do I need to update my iTunes account to a Dutch one?

    I have a uk iTunes account but have moved to the Netherlands and can no longer connect or make purchases. Do I need to change my account to a Dutch one?

    You can't transfer any content from one account to another account (nor can accounts be merged) - all content will remain tied to the account that downloaded it.
    Do you not have copies of all of your downloads e.g. on your computer or backup of your downloads/library ? Whilst you are in Australia you can't redownload your UK purchases (you have to be in a country to use its store), if you have them on your computer's iTunes library then you should be able to stream them from it to your Apple TV
