Problems with FaceTime and Time Capsule?

I was wondering if anyone who uses Time Capsule for their WiFi router has ever experienced any problems with FaceTime?  I use that as my router out of state, and when placing calls to my Mom, she has a LinkSys router.  Every time I go to try a FaceTime call, the sound is spotty, and then the call eventually craps out.  However, Skype works just fine.  During a recent visit to her home, I tried a FaceTime call and it worked just fine, which led me to wonder if it had anything to do with us having separate routers, or if it's a strength of the Internet connection signal?  Was just curious if anyone else had similar issues?  Thank you in advance!

Sounds like a Internet connection problem to me, probably too slow.
You can try identifing the more problematic router/Internet connection by FaceTime calling a iPhone on a 3rd Wi-Fi network. If it works from your location but not your mom's, then your mom's router or Internet connection is the problem. You can further narrow it down by switching routers after finding the location that has the problem.
You can check the speed of the Internet connect and make sure the wireless router is updated and configured correctly.

  • Problem with Facetime and my MacBookPro camera

    Hello,
    I've got a MacBookPro and I have a problem with Facetime and my front camera.
    When I have a discussion with an iMac or an other MacBook the image received by the other person becomes fix.
    To unfix it I have to put my finger on my camera and then everything is good until the next time, 4 to 10 seconds later I've got the problem again.
    Perhaps somebody can help me.
    My head on my screen is always good even when the bug appear on my correspondent's screen.
    For information, the 2 mac have the same iOS version (OSX Lion) and Facetime version.

    Hi Dave,
    Edit: Well, I guess I was lost when I posted this. My answer was regarding a problem with OS X, not iOS. I'm going to leave the answer here in case someone else with a Facetime for Mac issue can benefit, because when you're searching for "Facetime AND Login", you could land in any discussion area. -Jerry
    Keychain Access.app is in your Utilities folder in your Applications folder.
    The path will be: Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access.app.
    Keychain is where all your passwords are stored for those applications that you don't want to have to manually log into all the time.
    It's a handy app to become familiar with, for instance if you want to look up a password or user name from the past.
    Hope this helps you.

  • There is a problem with your airport time capsule disk

    Hello,
    Since I got my airport time capsule and set it up, I got an error "there is a problem with your airport time capsule disk" and disk is not listed for setup or erase. The LED is flashing amber sine I turned on the first time.
    The wifi is working fine as well as the internet connectivity.
    I got the device from the online store and was shipped to my address in the states but I opened the box the first time in Saudi Arabia as I left the states immediately after receiving it.
    Any advise on fixing this or a near by apple support center where I can get it in for repair / replacement?

    Any advise on fixing this or a near by apple support center where I can get it in for repair / replacement?
    I would first suggest that you perform a "factory default" reset on your Time Capsule (TC).
    If that fails to remedy the problem, you can obtain technical support from Apple here.

  • Login problems with facetime and Imessage

    I have IPAD 2 upgraded to IOS 6.0. I am living at Alexandria EGYPT.
    I didn't face any problem with both apps until the 2nd of October 2012. Since then and both apps telling me that Apple ID doesn't match with the entered password. The same password is used for app store and working with no problem, the password have been used even to log in to the support as well as Icloud.
    I have tried the following actions with no result:
    1- Soft reset the IPAD.
    2- Time is set to automatic.
    3- Set the time to USA.
    4- Time set back to auto.
    5- Connect using different WiFi networks.
    I hope I can find a solution, I am using both apps to keep in touch with my family.

    I did a total reset and start the IPAD as a new one before restore...same problem exist
    after restore try again and with the same problem...
    Finally I have created a new apple ID and used it only for facetime and imessages...and it works....
    I can't really understand the problem....
    It is not a problem with communication or IPAD settings because it worked with another apple ID
    it is not a problem with server or account because I am still using my old ID with my macbook
    strange

  • Problem with date and time syncing itouch to macbook

    i have a problem with the date and time on ical when i sync my itouch4 w my macbookair. whatever i entered into my calendar in itouch will appear different in my ical( with a 6 hrs advance difference) and the alarm i set on my itouch in the calendar doesnt ring at the right time as set even though it is shown the time that i wanted.
    Both my macbook n itouch are set to the same time zone and i have checked this many many times n the time is the same on both machine. but i just dont understand why is there a time difference when synced and my alarm just dont sound at the time it was supposedly set. it rings hours later n showing a different time that it was set but in the parenthesis the right time that i had set it.
    One time my computer ran out of battery n went into sleep mode and when i open it again, the time n date setting was all off. which im surprised why it had gone off. So did this create the problem i have now with the date n time sync or something else?
    please help!!!!

  • Printing with iphone and time capsule router

    I have an iphone 4 and a Time Capsule with router. I have my HP 8500 wireless printer plugged into time capsule. iphone says that it cannot find airprint printers.

    Time Capsule is a combination wireless router and wireless hard drive for access to the internet via wi-fi with connected computers and with your iPhone, and for backing up connected Macs wirelessly via Time Machine.
    Your iPhone can connect to the internet via your wireless network created with Time Capsule, but that is it.

    Also try this - Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

  • Problems with facetime and jazztel

    I have a lot of problems if i want to activate facetime in my iphone. I have Jazztel (spanish company) and when i want to activate it, i just can do it with my personal email, but when i want to do it with my phone number, i just dont recieve the message. Please, help me with this.

    Jazztel is not a supported carrier. Facetime uses a silent SMS message to contact Apple's servers and activate using your phone number. All supported carriers will permit this message to pass and will not charge for it.
    If your plan does not include international messaging, then the message will not be able to reach Apple's servers in the UK and activate facetime with your phone number. If you DO have a plan that allows international messaging, you are going to be charged for those messages.
    To avoid problems and charges, switch to a supported carrier. There are 4 supported carriers in Spain: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

  • Total iMac failure!  Please help.  Problems with freezing, and time machine

    My iMac has started to go crazy over the last week. It started crashing repeatedly, so much so that it could take me 10 tries just to get it going. I was able to run disk warrior and disk utility and neither of those came up with any issues. I took it into the apple store and they repaired permissions and cleared the cache and of course nothing happened while the mac was in the store.
    When I came home I started trying to clear out excess files and organize to save space and memory. I downloaded cleanmymac as well as crucial.com's scanner as recommended by the mac genius. Unfortunately, that night after everything had been working fine, the computer started crashing all over again. I get lines through my screen, it locks up, things get distorted, etc.
    In addition, I noticed today that all of my time machine backups have been deleted from my machine. The only one that exists is a huge one that was created the day after it was examined at the store. I have no idea how that happened as I have not touched the time machine settings. To make matters worse, the time machine will not even back up now. It says there isn't enough space. (There are 160GB available). Shouldn't it just be making incremental backups? All I am doing at this point is deleting files anyway!
    If anyone has any suggestions at all, please offer them!!!

    Hi, unfortunately it sounds as though your Mac needs the attentions of an Apple Service Technician.
    You do not say how old your Mac is or if you have Applecare..
    In any event I feel you will do best as I previously said -> Apple Service Technician.
    Don't forget to L I S T all your issues/worries......L

  • Iphoto and time capsule

    My family and I want to access and edit all of our photos that are currently stored on time capsule. She has a laptop, I have a laptop, our family has an imac and iphones. We want to have the changes that we make to the pictures (red-eye correction, contrast, brightness, etc) to be reflected on the time capsule file so that when another one of us goes to print or make a slideshow those changes will take place on another computer because it is all stored on the time capsule. Also, we don't need to store all this info on our computers. Is there anyway to do this with iphoto and time capsule? Apple is usually pretty good about integrating things, but I can't figure out how to do it.
    Is there a plug-in that will allow me to do this? Can someone make one?
    Google Picasa allows us to do this, which is phenomenal. We are eagerly waiting for Google Picasa for Mac to come out for this feature alone. Thank you for any comments

    You could look into multi user image management applications likeMedia Expression. It would let you put the source files on the server and each user have their own catalog of thumbnails linked to the source files. EM lets you rename files, add metadata to the files, etc. But if you're going to stick with iPhoto and want to have everyone have full editing rights in the library you'll have to put the library on an external HD formatted for OS X Extended (Journaled).
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • TS4185 I have downloaded facetime from the App store and I keep receiving this message - An internal FaceTime error occurred.  There was a problem with FaceTime. You need to quit and open FaceTime again.  Please help!

    I have downloaded facetime from the App store and I keep receiving this message - An internal FaceTime error occurred.  There was a problem with FaceTime. You need to quit and open FaceTime again.  Please help!

    This error message could result from an incorrect setting for date and time, or an operating system which does not have the latest updates installed.  It's a good idea to have your location setting on automatic.  Turn on the wi fi in your mac for a minute or so, to allow it to automatically search for your present location.  Do this even though you have the correct time Date settings displayed.
