IPad 2 FaceTime

iPad 2
Won't let me sign in for FaceTime  I use my apple I'd
But just comes up check Internet

Joe, another solution is to use a portable 3G/4G mobile hotspot which allows you to connect several devices (either laptop, phone, ipad, etc.) via a shared WiFi connection. I purchased one through TimeWarner Cable and gave it to my granddaugther in Georgia to use with her new iPod Touch so that she can FaceTime with us here in TX. It works great when she's at her aunt's. You can go online and check the various carriers' plans to see which fits your needs. Also, check the various carrier's coverage maps to see if they offer 4G/3G in your father-in-law's area. As grand parents we know how important it is to make those connections. Our grand kids were all familiar with iChat, thanks to Steve Jobs and his folks at Apple.
From what I understand about the iPad WiFi-3G models, 3G data plans are optional and are mostly month-to-month. No contract is required. But, the 3G models also cost more, too.
Check out Steve Jobs' iPad 2 keynote at: http://www.apple.com/
He does mention something about iOS 4.3 and that it will allow an iPhone (3gs, 4) to share their 3G data connection as a WiFi hotspot with at least an iPad 2. I can't remember if he mentioned previous iPads and the latest iPod Touch. That may be an option, too.

  • Is the ipade FaceTime available or supported in my country - Nigeria, and can I use it communicate with my family when I am out?????

    Is the ipade FaceTime available or supported in my country - Nigeria.
    I want to have the list of region or country I can use it.

    If you don't have the FaceTime app on your iPad, you can't get it.

  • Ipad facetime no audio output since ios7.0.3 update. Was working pre update

  • How do I change my iPads FaceTime phone number?

    How do I change my iPads FaceTime phone number?

    If your wife's cell number was listed on the iPad, you must have set up the iPad using her iCloud account (Apple ID) instead of your own. iCloud automatically populates the phone number to other devices with the same iCloud account, but you should be able to deactivate it.
    That number that is assigned to your iPad is just an internal routing and billing number for your carrier. My carrier (AT&T) makes a clear statement in the legal documents that this number is not for phone calls or (SMS or MMS) messages, just for data delivery. For whatever reason, Apple does not allow it to be used in the iMessages system.

  • Solution: iPad Facetime Voice Problem

    It's everyones nightmare regarding iPad Facetime voice.  It's been my problem since I bought this iPad 3 and almost want to return it to the store.
    Problem on iPad Facetime video chatting: They can see & hear you and you can see but CAN'T HEAR THEM.
    Solution: TOTAL SHUTDOWN AND RESTART BOTH iPADs.
    It works on mine and hope this will help you.
    Apple should provide update to fix this issue.

    Triple-click the Home button to turn off VoiceOver (do it quick)

  • IPAD Facetime keeps asking for password for wrong Apple ID, how do I fix this?

    I have an iPad.  It does not have a data plan.  It can only access the internet via a wireless network.
    Every time I turn it on, the FaceTime program asks for a password for an Apple ID account that I no longer use.
    I have tried to reset the password, but it keeps saying to "enter a valid email account".  Guess what, the email account IS VALID!
    Also, I have asked to be sent an email to reset the password, and I don't get the email.
    There does not seem to be a way to change the iPad to get out of this loop, and I cannot do anything else on the iPad until I answer the password, which I don't know.
    I am beginning to lose faith in Apple products.  Apple ID's are needlessly complicated.  I should be able to merge two Apple ID accounts, but Apple won't let me.
    For iCloud, it seems I need a separate account for everyone and every device in my family.  Sync has already hopeless screwed up my address book on my cell phone, when it synced to my wife's account without me knowing it.
    Surely Apple can make this easier, or perhaps not?
    Of course I bought apple care, but they don't have 24 hour service, so as of right now, it was a waste of my hard earned money.

    Start with the Settings app
    Settings > iTunes and App Store > tap on your Apple ID and then tap on Sign Out
    Then sign in with your correct Apple ID and password.

  • MacBook Pro to iPad FaceTime help!

    I have a MacBook Pro and my mom has an iPad. When we try to FaceTime each other a message comes up saying the other is "not available for FaceTime". We don't understand why this doesn't work because we are using different email addresses to call each other. I have the same problem when I try to call my dad's MacBook Pro using my MacBook Pro. However, I have made calls from my MacBook Pro to multiple iPhones and vice versa. So why doesn't it work between iPads and other MacBooks?  HELP!

    You need OSX 10.8.2 Mountain Lion to have FaceTime on the Mac. Also an Apple ID with a valid e-mail address for the Mac.

  • IPad FaceTime Activation

    I have not been able to activate FaceTime on my iPad for several months.
    I receive the same "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again" error.
    I have tried modifing the DNS.
    I have tried moving the iPad into the DMZ.
    I have verified my Apple ID and it's in the email format "[email protected]"
    I have tried from other known working networks.
    I have tried a hard reset and recovery.
    I have tried a settings reset.
    ...nothing seems to work.
    What I have noticed, is that if I open iTunes and to to "Manage Devices" -- all my other apple goodies and my pc are listed.
    Windows PC
    iPhone 4
    iPhone 3G
    ... but no iPad.
    Is it possible that the device must be associated in this method in order for it to work?
    This is the only difference I can see between my 4G phone and the iPad.
    If I open the ipad, I can view all my settings with the same username.

    In fact, if I try to enable automatic downloads on my ipad, it automatically flips back to off.

  • Ipad FaceTime, person I'm calling can't hear me

    iPad 2, in FaceTime, person I'm calling can hear me but I can't hear them. Help,

    the sound dropping with facetime doesn't seem to be an issue between devises. It apparently drops from iMacs or iBooks but not iPhones or iPads.
    It usually drops on my iMac (first gen.intel running Snow) after 4 or 5 minutes but I have gone much longer too.
    It first happened with a friend and his iPhone then I called his wife on her iPad and the sound was still gone. In other words after hanging up with him I initiated a facetime with her and my mic did even start.
    It also occurred with another friend on her new iMac running Lion. It has nothing to do with the sound settings on my mac it only happens with Facetime.

  • Why does my ipad facetime not connect?

    Ive had my ipad for 2 months now and my facetime wont work because of connection but it works for my iphone4 and ipod touch!

    Some folks have discovered that changing their DNS service fixes FaceTime connection issues. The ideal way is to configure your modem/router with DNS service, but often settings in Settings/Wi-Fi on your iPad will override the router settings.
    Try either of these;
    OpenDNS
    208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220
    Google Public DNS
    8.8.8.8. 8.8.4.4

  • TS3367 Ipad - facetime phone number

    When setting up my new Ipad Air (wi-fi only) from a restore of my Iphone via itunes it is pulling in the wrong phone number for facetime (apparently from another family members iphone) but the restore for apps worked fine. Any way to change the phone#? I already tried erasing the Ipad and doing a fresh backup of the phone and had the same results.
    Thanks!

  • How does an ipad facetime a lap top?

    My sister recently got the iPad 2 and I was wondering how I could facetime her through my laptop to hers and vise-versa.
    I appreciate the help!

    Go to the App store and type "facetime" in the search field.  You must have operating system 10.6.8. or later installed in your mac laptop, you also need to have the latest Apple software updates installed before downloading this application.

  • IPad to iPad FaceTime error

    Hello,
    Ok so my entire family got an ipad 2 for Christmas, we can FaceTime each other at the house but cannot FaceTime our other family members in their houses. They can also FaceTime each other at their house. We can't connect to each other though.  I have norton firewall and have opened the required ports and it still doesn't work. Everytime we get a message saying FaceTime failed when trying to connect to my brother and their kids. My brother doesn't have a firewall system so they didn't have to open any ports. This is very frustrating so if you could please help that would be great!
