Ipad2 and Ipad3, cannot see Ipad2 user - worked ok for months, now broken. Like to know how to upgrade Ipad2 to IOS 5.1.1 (too many issues with IOS 6 - consider too risky)?

I have been using Facetime successfully for months to communicate with my elderly mother in the UK (I am located in Canada)? Today we tried Facetime and we could hear each other but I could not see her. She could see me ok however.
As I wasn't sure whether the problem was with my iPad or hers I made a FaceTime call to my brother-in-law in the UK, this call worked perfectly. I then tried a Factime call with a friend in Canada and it also worked fine.
My mother could see herself in the small window so we know that her camera must be working.
Here are the IOS versions for the four IOS devices used in these tests..
My mothers iPad 2: IOS 4.3.5
Brother-in-law's iPad 3: IOS 5.1.1
Friends iPhone: IOS 6
My iPad 3: IOS 5.1.1
My questions are as follows:
Q1/ Has anyone heard of Facetime problems between newer and older iPads as a result of Apple rolling out IOS 6 recently?
(maybe there have been some changes to the FaceTime servers as part of the IOS 6 rollout?)
Q2/ Is it possible to update my Mothers iPad 2 (IOS 4) to IOS 5.1.1 and do this without using a computer? (I would prefer her to update to 5.1.1 and hold off updating to 6 because of all the issues I read of users having problems with 6, including FaceTime issues)
My mother is in her 70's, and has no computing device other than her iPad. She can just about manage to figure out how to use the basic features of her iPad. Therefore the update process needs to be very easy and straightforward otherwise she is likely to get very confused, very quickly!
Facetime has been brilliant for my mother and keeping in touch with her son, thousands of miles away, we would really like to get Facetime working again.
Can anyone  help?

You will not be able to block IOS 6.  You can try blocking it with a webfilter or firewall but if the students take these home or connect to another network or iTunes they can get it that way.   You will find that the vast majority of all apps will work with 6 or have been updated to work with it by now.

    Hey kaliapple,
    Thanks for the question. First, you can try deleting and redownloading the purchase by following along with this:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    If that doesn't resolve the issue, then you can read how to report an issue with your purchase here:

  • HT4623 Hi!My iPAD lost its charge fast !!I've got an iPAD capacity 57,1GB and it has available 55,1GB ,version 7.0.4 .I'd like to know how long does the battery last when it is 100 % charged.

    Hi!I've just installed the iOS 7.0.4 operating system and the battery lost its charge at an incredibly speed.I'd like to know how long does the battery last if everything is right when it has 100% charge.Thanks!

    I`m `propping` up this thread to to the top of the forums again as it`s been three months and not a single community member or Apple support personnel have replied, which I find discouraging.
    I`ve tried everything - both the iOS device(s) and Apple TV have been upgraded (albeit reluctantly) to the latest versions, since iOS 7 looks like crap compared to iOS 6. Both use the same WiFi network. Bluetooth is set to `off`, as per the online tutorials on the Apple Support page.
    I also tried shutting all of them down, including the router, waiting 30 seconds and turning the router, then the Apple TV then the iOS device on sequentially with 30 seconds in between each, again as per this discussion forum, and still nothing.
    Why can Apple not make a technology, such as AirPlay, work with greater than 10%?
    Any other ideas?
    Come on, people.
    Thanks,
    Doug

  • Too many problems with IOS 4 and 2nd gen touch

    Ok, to be honest, I was happy for the update to IOS 4 but now, not so much. My battery life has been running down faster than it usually does, my clock jumps ahead in time no matter what I do, I lost tons of pics because of them being taken off and back on, and my update took forever to do. Any help on any of these things would be appreciated. Thanks

  • I have 2 Ipads (ipad2 and Ipad3) and 2 Iphones (4 and 4s) all under 1 account in itunes.  How would I split these into 2 accounts and still be able to share itunes music?

    I have 2 Ipads (Ipad2 and Ipad3) and 2 Iphones (4 and 4S) that are currently  sharing 1 username for itunes.  How can I split 1 ipad and 1 iphone to another username and still use my music library in itunes?

    Sign out of the iTunes, store, iMessage, and iCloud on the devices, then sign in with the account you want.
    This simply changes the account the device is pulling content from.
    Content can not be moved from one account to another.  Content is permanently tied to the account it was acquired with.
    What are you really trying to accomplish?

    Hi. After loading a picture into Photoshop some of the menu tools are greyed out and I cannot use the keyboard short cuts, for instance I cannot use Ctrl + T for free transform, how do I resolve this problem. In addition the tool Icons are so small I have to get close to the screen to see them, is there anyway the Icons can be made bigger without reducing the resolution of the screen.
    Thanks
    Derek

    Are you working on a background layer? If so, Ctrl + T will not work. Press Alt and double-click your background layer to convert to a normal layer (or right-click BG layer and select Layer from Background) and try again.
    If you're working in Photoshop CC 2014 you can go to Preferences > Experimental Features and tick "Scale UI 200% for high-density displays" to make your buttons and icons larger.

  • The user acct my apple was connected to no longer works (corrupt).  My Apple TV is still synced to that account and all of my recent purchases are going to that username.  Does anyone know how to get all of the purchased items back and to the new user?

    The user profile my appleTV was synced on my computer to no longer works (corrupt).  My Apple TV is still synced to that profile and all of my recent purchases are going to that username.  Does anyone know how to get all of the purchased items back and to the new user (same computer)?  I created a new user on my computer and moved the itunes folder to the desktop but never changed the path to which the apple synced to.  Now I can only see old items I purchased before the user profile went bad.  PLease help!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Changing the library the Apple TV is synced with will delete all synced content from the Apple TV, but it won't delete purchased content.
    You should be able to change the library, resync any content you want and transfer your purchases back to the new library.

  • I downloaded the TDS managed IP Hosted Assistant Toolbar 17.4.86.1 and I cannot get it to work on Firefox.

    I downloaded the TDS managed IP Hosted Assistant Toolbar 17.4.86.1 and I cannot get it to work on Firefox. It says it is fully compatible but I downloaded it like the instructions said and it will not show as a toolbar option for Firefox. Please help and I am trying to not use IE at work as we run XP. Thanks.

    I'm surprised companies still use XP. My old school already switched to 8.
    Actually, if you're experiencing problems with an addon/extension, you would better off asking the developer about it since Mozilla nor us volunteers have anything to do with the extension not working. I would suggest Safe Mode to see if that addon is being conflicted with by another addon but I don't want to give you wrong steps.
    If you want to try Safe Mode, feel free to:
    *'''Windows/Mac''': Go to Help > Restart with add-ons disabled
    *'''Linux''': Run ''firefox -safe-mode'' in the Terminal/Konsole
    If Firefox opens up fine with no problems, it's probably one of your extensions that's causing the issue. You can re-enable your add-ons one by one until you find the one that causes the issue upon being re-enabled.

    Recently firefox started highlighting the background color in search boxes/fields (ie. google) in a light blue color and I cannot see what I'm typing in the field. Please help.
    Thanks.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
