On my Iphone 4 facetime is on and the person I am trying to connect to has it on but, facetime doesn't work.  Why?

facetime is on but doesn't work.  What do I do?

Hi.
Both parties must be connected via Wifi for Facetime to work.
If wifi is not a possibility, I recommend you try Skype's video calling funtionality as that works over wifi and 3G.

  • I have a iBook G3 and I'm trying to install OS X 10.4 but it doesn't work, why?

    I recieved my OS X 10.4.1 install discs today so I put disc into my iBook and rebooted it. As I did the apple logo appeared after the bong, no loading wheel appeared then a load of writing appeared. The last line said: "panic: We are hanging here...". At the top I noticed two error lines and they read: "Error: Extension archive doesn't contain software for this computer's CPU type." and
    "Error: Couldn't unpack multi-extension archive.". What does all of this mean and how do i fix it? If anyone needs more parts of the writing on the black screen I am willing to give it to you. Thanks

    Oh gosh, this is ancient history for me.
    First, I remember some sort of third party boot enabler being required to install OSX on some G3s.  Not sure if it included iBook. http://eshop.macsales.com/OSXCenter/XPostFacto/Framework.cfm?page=XPostFacto.htm l
    Second, which exact set of installer discs?  They have to be black colored retail discs, not grey ones which came with a specific model Mac and will only boot that model.
    What are the exact specifications of the computer?  Does it have sufficient RAM?  You're asking a lot for a G3 to run Tiger.

  • My iPhone 4 turns off (crashes) after accesing any apps, It work fine when plugged to charger. I tried all troubleshooting steps suggested by Apple but it doesn't work. What could be the problem and what are the solutions?

    My iPhone 4 turns off (crashes) after accesing any apps, It work fine when plugged to charger (power supply). I tried all troubleshooting steps suggested by Apple but it doesn't work. I backed up my phone. I restored it several times. Even I re-installed iphone software. Also I restored it as a new iphone but doesn't work. What could be the problem and what are the availble solutions?

    We can't know if there's a "fixture" because we can't examine your phone.  But Apple can.  Make a Genius Bar appointment and get your phone evaluated.

  • I am running Windows XP, SP3. I have tried to run Firefox 4 several times but it doesn't work properly. The main page comes up showing the logo, below that is the search box, and below that is another box with nothing in it.

    The external DVD/CD Writer will Not appear on your desktop when you attach it to your iMac.  It will appear in "Finder", which is in your Dock.
    Hope this helps

  • MY IPOD APPEARS TO BE ZOOMED INTO THE SCREEN AT ALL TIMES, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DO SIMPLE TASKS SUCH AS GO BACK, OR SELECT A PLAYLIST, ETC. I'VE TRIED PULLING IT OUT WITH MY FINGERS BUT THAT DOESN'T WORK. PLEASE CAN YOU HELP!!! THANKS.

    I've got a touch iPod and for about a week now it's almost been permenently zoomed into the screen? I actually cannot get it to zoom back out. I've tried pulling the screen out with my fingers but that doesn't work. It's zoomed in on my home pages, on my music, settings everything! It makes simple things like deleting a number from my password login extreamly differcult. Please can someone help?!?! Thanks.

    Double tap the screen with three fingers to un-zoom.
    Then go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom and turn this OFF.

  • I brought a new ipad 2 4th generation and have tried to download music from icloud to it but it appears to download and then is not on the ipad. I have also tried to manually add music from iTunes but that doesn't work either? What is going wrong?

    You are not using iTunes Match are you? If you are, you have to turn it off on the device before you sync with iTunes but I'm not sure how that impacts manually managing music in iTunes. I would also assume that if you use Match, the songs would download from the cloud by using Match on the device.
    iTunes Match on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Support - Apple
    This is sort of a long shot, but it's easy to try and won't hurt anything. Close all the apps on the iPad in the recents tray and reboot the iPad, then try again. I saw this work for someone else a while back that couldn't download or sync music, but I think it was probably just a coincidence, but as I said, it will not hurt to try.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • I unlocked my iphone 4.3.3 and I am in Spain trying to use my international sim card but it will not recognize it. What do i do?

    I unlocked my phone using sn0w whatever and I have cydia and the only website that was helpful told me to download this hack software but it does not work because I have too high of a firmware on my phone. What do I do?!!

    What makes you think I can't use my phone in another country or with another sim.  You obviously can't, but we are hardly going to talk about hacking an Apple phone on the Apple site.  By the way mine is officially unlocked so can swap sims within seconds.

  • My iphone5 camera keeps freezing and turning black and purple and becomes fuzzy. I tried to reset it a few times but it didn't work. how can i fix this?

    How can i fix my camera that keeps freezinf and turning black or purple? I have already tried reset multiple times and it didnt work.

    Hello there mmon11,
    If by reset you mean this process from iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting from here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Then alright thats one step down. I would recommend this article as well, specifically sections 1, 3, and 5 which will resolve it if the issue is due to software.
    iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/#section_1
    Here is section 1 to get you started.
    Restart iPhone
    To restart iPhone, first turn iPhone off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and iPhone will turn off after a few moments.
    Next, turn iPhone on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Is iPhone not responding? To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If your device does not turn on or displays a red battery icon, try recharging next.
    Regards,

  • TS3367 when using my facetime from my iphone 4, i can see the person, they can see me. I can hear them but they cannot hear me. I know that my microphone is working. what do I need to do?

    when using facetime, the other person cannot hear me. I can hear them and we can see each other. my microphone works

    This typically happens when you're using FaceTime on a WiFi connection that is either not too strong or not too fast.

  • Does the iPhone let the caller know if the person thry are trying to call is on another call

    Does the iPhone let the caller know if the person thry are trying to call is on another call. Both are using iphones

    Why? It doesn't change the fact that they are not answering my call. If they want to let me know why, they will.
    It used to be the case that my carrier would put a beep at the end of the ring tone if the person you were calling was on another call. But they stopped it ages ago.

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price
    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
    iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
    Replace the jack yourself
