No FaceTime icon next to one of my contacts with an iphone?

I just purchased my first iPhone last week (the 6, 16gb) and I transferred all of my contacts over through my gmail. Previously I had a regular old Android prepaid phone. Anyway, all of my contacts that I had backed up transferred over through the settings, and all of my contacts that I know have an iphone have the 'FaceTime' icon under their contact info, except for one. He is an iphone and I simply am unable to figure out the problem!
I have gone under the settings, then to Facetime, to make sure Facetime was on. I also had him do the same thing.
When I make a regular phone call to him the Facetime button is illuminated, but when clicked, it says that 'Dad' is not available for FaceTime.
BUT until today when a regular phone call was made, the Facetime button wasn't illuminated at all. Any ideas?
Thanks for the help!

  • Why is there a blue text icon next to one of my contacts

    text to someone from my ipad using her email and have a blue icon next to her name when texting from iphone

    Check the FCPX manual chapter 14 page 460 "Status of shared projects". It basically means you have modified the project after it has been shared.

  • TS4268 One of my contacts had an IPhone and we iMessage successful but now he switched to an android and now he can't receive my messages. He still has an iPod that receives them. How can I get my text changed to regular text instead iMessage? Thanks

    One of my contacts had an iPhone and we iMessage fine. Now he switched to a samsung galaxy note III and I need to switch his contact from iMessage so he can receive my text. He still has an iPod so iMessage still works for that but will that be effected by changing for android? How do I make the change? Thanks

    It isn't your issue, it is his. He needs to make sure he has turned of iMessage and removed his number from the iMessage database. If he does not still have the device, he needs to contact Apple Care to take care of it.

  • I can send messages to one of my contacts on my iPhone but not on my iPad. Why?

    I can send messages to one of my contacts on my iPhone but not on my iPad. Why?

    Does the contact you are sending the message to use an iPhone?
    The iPhone will send and receive both iMessages and Text messages (SMS).
    The iPad will only send and receive iMessages.
    iPads cannot receive SMS text messages.

  • FaceTime not working on my Macbook Pro. I am able to sign in successfully and add contacts.  When I try to call a contact with an iPhone, its connecting then fails.  When someone try to FaceTime me,I try to access but it says connecting then fail

    FaceTime not working on my Macbook Pro. I am able to sign in successfully and add contacts.  When I try to call a contact with an iPhone, it says connecting then fails by ending automatically.   When someone try to FaceTime me,I accept but it says connecting then fail.  I only have a MacBook Pro to FaceTime and not an iPhone.  I was informed that I should be able to FaceTime from my laptop via video call without an iPhone.
    Please advise.

    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time.

    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The "Guest User" login created by "Find My Mac" is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.

  • Why is there a tiny blue speech bubble next to one of my contacts?

    Today I went to send a text message to someone and as I was selecting the person from my contact list I noticed that one 1 of my contacts had a tiny blue speech bubble next to his name. I know that the blue speech bubbles when texting mean that you are using iMessage, but I don't know why this little icon appeared next to this contact's name. And why it would show up only next to his name and not next to any others' who have iMessage enabled. Any ideas what this symbol means?

    I've read a lot of conflicting info re that tiny empty blue text bubble icon next to a contact - including the contributions above. My wife has a Blackberry (so no iMessage) and my son a Samsung/Android (so no iMessage), but both have the empty blue text bubble icon next to the telephone icon in their contact information in my iPhone. So the bubble has nothing to do with iMessage.
    I thought maybe it indicated that I had sent a text message to a contact at some point in the past, but I have contacts to whom I sent text messages who don't have the text bubble icon.
    I thought maybe it indicated that my correspondent had kept our past conversations on their phone, but I've run experiments deleting those conversations, and the icon remains. I thought it might indicate that I had kept our past conversations on my phone, but no.
    Does no one have the definitive answer?

  • HT4970 facetime icon has disappeared how can I get it back iPhone 4s

    restore facetime icon to iphone 4s

    There is no facetime icon.  If you want to facetime with someone you can do that by going to the contact details for that person in your address book and and there is a facetime icon second from the bottom on the right
    It can also be done using the keypad when in a call

    I Stupidly have one iCloud account but with two phones using it. How can I delete iCloud from my phone without deleting the account from my husbands phone. He needs the account on his but I dont want it on mine!

    But does this delete the whole account from the cloud, or just from my device. I must make sure my husband doesn't loose all his business contacts which are in the iCloud device. Thanks.

  • Facetime icon greyed out in contact list

    I am runing 10.10.1 for my iMac and have the latest software on my Iphone 6.  The contact I would like to use FaceTime is in China and uses a iPhone 5.  My computer contact list shows the Facetime icon greyed out.  The same contact in my iphone has no indication of a Facetime option.  I have checked my settings for both messages and FaceTime.  I have used messages to communicate with this person.
    Why can I not use FaceTime?
    Thanks,
    Brad

    I would guess that something on your contact's end is the issue - can this person make Facetime calls to anyone?

  • I have deleted the Facetime icon from a Contact but now want to reinstate it. How do I do this?

    On my iPad Air, I have deleted the FaceTime icon from many of my listed Contacts. Is there a way to restore the icon and FaceTime facility to selected contacts?

    Some of my contacts in Contacts have the Facetime icon in their listing, some don't. I guess I've deleted it from those where it's missing, though not sure how! How can I get it back when it's missing? in Edit, I can add new email addresses, phone numbers etc, but I can't figure out how to add FaceTime to a listing.

  • Why is one of the contacts on iphone in blue font

    Why is one of the contacts on my iphone in blue font with a blue icon man?

    Do you need to change that?

  • An event in one of my libraries no longer has the event icon next to it's name just the name only. I can't view the clips in the event or import new clips. I've tried deleting the event and nothing.

    an event in one of my libraries no longer has the event icon next to it's name in the browser just the name only. I can't view the clips in the event or import new clips. I've tried deleting the event and nothing. After control clicking the event it shows all the media that has been previously imported. But it does not allow anything to be done to the event including deleting. This showed up at the beginning of a normal import session. This is fortunately the back-up evant.

    Did you perhaps mess with the contents of the library in the Finder?

  • Unusual icon next to User icon in Console One

    Hi, I was hoping to locate a list of Novell icons for Console One, as I need to identify an icon which has appeared next to an existing user.
    The existing user has the standard user icon, then a symbol which looks like a few dots circling anti-clockwise to an arrow.
    I can't work out how to paste or attach an image to this post, but the icon is roughly like a reverse refresh symbol.
    When I view the same tree in iManager, this user doesn't appear at all, either when I search that OU or when I search from the root of the tree. Just wondering what is the status of this user account and why this icon.
    Thanks, Nat

    Going by your description I'm guessing this is an alias, meaning it is a
    pointer to the real user. If you go to the Other tab in ConsoleOne I
    think it'll show you the Object Class which is probably 'Alias'. This can
    happen if you move an object and choose to leave an alias behind so that
    references to the old DN still work.
    Why would this show up in ConsoleOne but not iManager? Perhaps one
    replicas has the object while others do not and it's a coincidence based
    on which client (iMan/C1) hits which server. Query all servers via
    iMonitor to see what they show respectively.
    Good luck.
