IPhone 4 Facetime connectivity to Mac??

Hi there, so I just updated to 4.1 today, is there still no support for Facetime connection to Mac users? What's the deal? That seems like atleast 50% of my would be Facetime calls, then to the few iPhone 4 users I know so far, and absolutely 0 for new iPod touch users.
So is there a way to do it or is it more of the same waiting game?

As I understand, FaceTime is an app that connects the latest iOS4.1 iPod touch(s) and/or iPhone4(s).
For connections between iPod/iPhone and Macs, we would need a different app. There might be a market here if you are a programmer. Otherwise, search or wait for the app that does what you ask.

I can listen to the Music Library in my Ipad through home sharing, but I can't do it in my Iphone. When Iphone managed to connect my Mac, I can see how a watch turns clockwise but it stops when it arrives at a half of the watch. What can I do?

IPhone no longer connects to mac

My iPhone 3 used to connect with both macs in the house. Now suddenly when I plug it into the machine I have synched it to in the past (iMac Intel Core 2 Duo) not only does the phone not sync with iTunes...it doesn't even charge or launch iPhoto.
I can take the same iPhone with the same cable, plug it into the other mac (Powerbook G4), and it will be "seen" and charge and launch iPhoto. I can take an iPod, plug it with the same cable into the iMac, and it will sync. So it's not the cable, and (given that the phone "sees" the other mac) I don't think it's the phone. Any ideas on what I need to do to get my phone to see and be seen by the iMac?

1. Your iMac's USB port may be bad. Try another, or try resetting the USB ports as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1317
2. If your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or iPod nano (5th generation) is not recognized in iTunes on a Mac, you might need to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service. Find instructions here, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747

Iphone Purchased in Middle East with out Facetime and doesnt connect to Mac on new Update Yasmite

I recently visited Dubai and purchased 2 iphone 6, As per middle east Iphone comes without Facetime which is quit disturbing and hard to understand, This week my Mac upgraded to Yasmite which is amazing and i love it, There is a very good option that i can receive calls and make calls from my Mac without worring where my iphones are But all happines went dump when its not connecting with Iphone after searching web that My Iphone need to have FaceTime thats really sad, Iphone should and must provide some solution to this. becasue there are many many users who have iphone without facetime and having complete family of Apple.
Kindly if anyone can help on this to resolve this matter without changing the mobile. Will be highly appreciated

As already stated you can't and won't get facetime on your phone because you purchased a phone where facetime has been banned by the governemt.
It doesn't matter if you move to a different country where facetime is allowed or switch to a different carrier your phone will never have facetime on it.
If you want facetime you will need to purchase a new phone in a country where facetime isn't banned by the government.

I can't log onto facetime on my mac. My apple ID and password is correct and it is working on my ipad/iphone. My facetime preferences is grayed out and I keep having to turn facetime on. My screen gets stuck on signing in or verifying.

I have used facetime on my mac recently and have not had this problem until today. Facetime seems to have logged out on all of my devices but after putting my password in on my iphone/ipad it is back to normal however my Macbook will not allow me to log in. I also noticed that facetime preferences is grayed and I keep trying to turn facetime on and that is graying out as well. I put in my email and password and I get stuck on "signing in". Or I get past that and I verify my email and password and I get stuck on "verifying" only to get booted back to the sign in page. My OS is up to date, my wifi is on and working and I have no firewall on my home network. I cannot figure out how to fix this. I have tried some previous message troubleshooting such as updating the DNS entry to add 8.8.8.8 and that did not work. I have tried to toggle facetime on and restart but that did not work. I can't delete and reinstall facetime as it is connected to the OS and will not allow you to do that.

I have the same problem. Unfortunately, the troubleshooting link you added has the first step listed as "Verify that FaceTime is enabled in FaceTime > Preferences" which we (the original poster and I) can't do as our Preferences are greyed out. We can't click on them to verify anything.
In FaceTime itself it's verified my apple id (also double checked via the site) and then it says the email is "verified" but then it freezes and after a minute or so it says "Could not verify the email address. Please check your network connection and try again."
After checking the network connection, it still doesn't work. It's rather frustrating as it all worked fine until about a week or two ago.
Any help would be appreciated.

Can I Facetime from my mac to an ipad or iPhone

recently i have been trying to FaceTime to an iphone and ipad.
when i use my mac laptop itll ring but once the person tries to pick up it doesnt work & it doesnt go thrrough

Be sure your Mac OS X is fully updated for security patches per http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5419 as Apple stops FT from connecting since April 16, 2014 without full updating.

How do I delete multiple photos at a time on my iphone 5 without connecting to my mac or other computer? And without deleting ALL photos from my iphone?

Well, I guess my heading says it all. I am trying to delete multiple (like A LOT) of photos from my camera roll on my iphone 5 without connecting to my computer. All other instructions I've read on here do not work. (I'm not saying I read ALL instructions though) But the ones I've read, do not work.
I DO NOT want to connect to my computer to do this, so please read what I am asking! It HAS to be possible, it's just downright silly if it isn't and I'll be ****** about the 3 grand I've given to Apple in the last few months for various reasons...
Thank you in advance for any responses.

Okay. Awesome! I feel like such a dodo that was so freaking simple!
Now I have another simple person question that feels stupid too but oh well apparently my brain doesn't like to work at 5 a.m. when I am in bad pain but...
Okay, so I've deleted them from my phone manually, they are already ALL on my mac, when I plug my phone back into my mac to sync music and any New photos, will the old photos that I deleted that are on the mac, go back on the phone? Der. I feel like I already know the answer, but I'm asking anyways...
Please, thank you, and sorry in advance!

I want to be able to face time also using my ipad2 to my laptop especially if one of the members of the family is traveling. Thanks.

thanks. your answer was correct, clearer. I have another question, maybe you can answer. I just purchase my ipad2 2 days ago. yesterday, there was a sound. today there is no sound. there is a sound only in movies and you tube and music. but no sound on all apps and keyboards. I look it up and seems like ther are few that have this problem. I called walmart coz I bought it there and they told me that they have not heard that before but if I can't fix it, just return it and exchange it with anew one since I have 14 days to do that. I tried rebooting it and still won't work. Should I just restore it?

How do I add my iPhone number to facetime on the mac?

Hi,
I have an up to date iphone 5 and I was wondering how I can add my number to facetime on the mac.
i know how to get to preferences and all that but I just cant add my mobile to the mac facetime unlike all my other devices.
Thank!!
Bradley

Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so.
Sign out of iMessage on the Mac:
Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out
Sign out on the iPhone
Settings ▹ Messages ▹ Send & Receive ▹ Apple ID ▹ Sign out
Then, on the phone, tap
Use Your Apple ID for iMessage
Sign back into iMessage on both devices and test. If there's no change, you may have to wait for a change in network conditions.

HT1338 I have updated my software and everything else I think I need to do. I am having a problem connecting to Facetime on my Mac Pro Book. I have tried using my Apple ID and I have tried creating a new ID but it doesn't work.

I just bought a New Apple Pro Book. Tried getting Facetime up and working with no luck. Won't accept APPLE ID and won't accept a new account. Tried to buy app thinking it was that but told me it was already installed on the mac. Do I have to fix a setting or something that I am not aware of.
My whole family used the same APPLE ID and I have this apple ID on my IPHONE for facetime. Do we need a new one if so why can't I create a new one???

You can use the same AppleID for App Store purchasing Apps, Books and Music. (So you can share between family members, no need to re-purchase)
But for other Apple services like FaceTime, Message, Game Center (next Mac OS release) etc You should use a different Apple ID.
To start, you need an e-mail address (Gmail from Google, Yahoo from Yahoo, or Hotmail from Microsoft: there are all free). Use the browser for example to search for gmail.
1. Create an e-mail account following the instruction given. (Take note of email address you created and password use, password should include numbers, letters and uppercase letter)
2. Test that new e-mail account by sending a test email to that account (GMail mails can be view using the browser)
3. use this link to create a new Apple ID: https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ using the new e-mail address you created.
Not wanting to overload you. After you have all that come back here again and we go from there.

My Mac simply ignores my Iphone when I connect it with the USB cable. WHY? how Can I fix it?

My Mac simply ignores my Iphone when I connect it with the USB cable. WHY? how Can I fix it?
I was able to connect the first time, but after that my computer simply rejects the Iphone and nothing happens. The Iphone doesn't spin or try to reboot even! .
WHAT to do? I got it today.

When you say it ignores your iPhone, do you mean it does not appear in iTunes if you launch iTunes? Or it does not appear in Finder? Or does not appear in iPhoto? Or you get an error message?

Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your device is in recovery mode you will need to restore the device.

What tips have you tried so far? Just so we don't waste our time telling you things you've already done.
When you respond, also indicate which country and carrier you're using. Also, is your phone brand new? can you make a phone call / access the internet while on cellular?

Bluetooth on iphone not connecting to mac

hi. i turn on my bluetooth on my iphone and the mac at school, but it never really finds my iphone, but it finds my friends regular phone that is a voyager.
is there anything wrong with my iphone's bluetooth?

There is at least 1 app that uses bluetooth to transfer files between the iPhone and the Mac. It is Reunion, which is a genealogy program.
I am having the same difficulty in getting my 3GS to connect to my MacBookPro. I have updated software on the Mac, turned the phone, bluetooth off and back on, also have the the home buttton/lock switch cycle to no avail. The Mac sees the iPhone but the iPhone doesn't see the Mac. Worked fine with my original iPhone.

Whenever I connect iPhone 3GS to sync with Mac sync fails to open

Whenever I connect iPhone 3GS to sync with Mac sync fails to open. Brand new are there any upates I am unaware of?

"sync" fails to open? Do you mean, iTunes?
If you manually open iTunes, does your iPhone show up in the left column?
If so...
Click on your iPhone in the left column of iTunes.
Click on the "Summary" tab in the right colum of iTunes.
Scroll down to "Options"
Select "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected"
Apply
My apologies if I misunderstood the question.
