TS3367 Facetime not connecting for ios7 (iphone 5)

Facetime is not working from between my iphone 5 (ios7) and an ipad running ios 7 for last 4-5 days 
It keeps saying "Connecting" for a few seconds and the call fails right after that.  What is the reason for this? 
More importantly what is the fix for this?
I have seen lots of discussion threads talking about facetime not working for ios6 users, but this is true for my ios 7 devices!  Please help!!

Judging by all the posts on the forum, there seems to be an issue at Apple's end, although they have made no announcement on their status page. Unfortunately, we may have to wait until Apple is more forthcoming with information.

    Hi,
    For no apparent reason my phone stopped working...so I did a reset and got the message 'Restore Needed'. I connected to iTunes and got this message: 'iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on your iPhone before it can be used with iTunes'.
    The problem is, I can't enter my passcode because I'm not given that option on the iPhone. All I seem to be able to do is make an emergency call.
    It's been working fine otherwise. Any suggestions?
    This is the SECOND replacement iPhone I've had this week and I'm getting a bit fed up.
    Thanks in advance for any help,

    Are you referring to the 4 digit passcode needed to enter the phone and use it's features?
    If so reboot your iPhone and enter the passcode to get it operational.  Launch Image Capture on the Mac and connect the iPhone.  Now you should be able to download the video files to wherever you want on your hard drive.

  • IOS 6 Facetime not connecting after upgrade in UAE It was before on an Ipad purchased in Uk, I am miserable, I know its the carrier Etisalat, I sincerely some one finds a fix for this.

    I attempted to uninstall QT and reinstall- the QT 7.4 installer failed to install (it said a more up to date version was present, even though I'd trashed the old one). I downloaded and reinstalled 7.5 but itunes still did not work.
    While my solution wasn't ideal
    1) It was what Apple told me to do!
    2) It seemed preferable to A) A complete system reinstall, B) removing 264 .plist files one at a time, rebooting, and seeing which one was causing the problem.
    I still have the old .plist files in another folder, and can replace them in my preferences folder if I decide I need them. Most apps will create a new .plist file on start-up if there is not one present, so unless it is a program where I have gone to great lengths to change preferences from default, I'm guessing I will not notice much difference (and if I do, I can always go to my archive of .plists, or on Time Machine for that matter...)

  • IPhone 5 will not connect to brand new MBA/iTunes. Error message is "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. Could not connect to the device."

    Hi!
    I've had my iPhone 5 for just over a year now, and I haven't really had any problems since iOS7 was installed. I had a PC, with no connectivity problems between any of my Apple devices. Then FINALLY, I purchased my very first Macbook Air 13". I set it all up, updated all the apps, and made sure it was good to go. My iPhone was really low on battery one day, and I just happened to have my USB for it handy and thought I would just plug it into my computer to charge it. I figured I worry about syncing it later as I hadn't really had time to set it all up with iTunes on the new computer.
    MY PHONE WENT CRAZY. It just started vibrating all over the table. Looking at the battery icon, it was flipping between charging and not charging, and occasionally the "do you trust this device" window would pop up on the screen, but it was still going crazy. iTunes opened up and these alerts saying "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. Could not connect to the device." and "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected." All it was doing at this point was using up even more battery. But then the iPhoto app opened by itself on my shiny new Macbook and the vibrating stopped. It was charging and syncing! But not having iPhotos before on a computer weirded me out i hadn't decided exactly what I wanted to do with it, I closed the app. The phone went nuts again. ***. On a different day, I was trying to sync it again, and it worked. But only long enough to back it up on the macbook. W.T.F.
    Plugging into any PC is no problem at all. The phone just connects and starts charging.
    I've tried just about everything. All of my software is up to date, both on the mac and iphone. The USB cord is fine. I've reset the macbook with it plugged in and not plugged in. I have uninstalled, and reinstalled iTunes with the phone plugged in and not plugged in. I've reset all the contents and settings on my iPhone, as well as did a hard reset with it plugged in and not plugged in. My iPad has no problem connecting and it also has iOS7. It's just so weird though, that it starts connecting/disconnecting interchangeably as soon as I plug it into the computer, even when all my apps are closed. All this is leading me to believe that it must be some sort of issue between the devices' communication to each other. But I'm not sure if it's an iPhone, MacBook, or iTunes issue!
    HHHHEEEEELLLLLLPPPPP!!!!!

    I had this same problem with my new MBP 15", but only with the USB port on the left side. The USB port on the right side worked fine. Perhaps the ports on the left don't have enough signal energy for the iPhone.
    Anyway, try using a different USB port, and if that doesn't work, perhaps you could try a powered USB hub.

  • ITunes could not connect to this iPhone. The device is no longer connected

    A few days ago, my iPad 3 A1430 screen turned black. Siri was still there but very slow to respond. The following day, the screen display returned (the usual green background colour but a much smaller display and not a single icon present). Siri was back up to speed, could play music, display info but could not respond to calendar enquiries etc. The iPad would switch off but not reboot. I let the battery level drop to zero then re-charged: iPad now working again.
    Wanting to back-up my iPad, I ran iTunes version 12.1.0.50 on iMac (Yosemite 10.10.2). I have PCemulator installed and when the iPad connection was made, I received the usual screen prompt for which to connect to Mac or PC. (The problem starts here: - the prompt was flashing on/off). I selected Mac & received the  message “iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. The device is no longer connected”.
    Rebooted PC and iPad, connecting iPad offers no device prompt, only the same error message.
    Successfully backed up iPhone 6 using iTunes.
    Upgraded iPad software to IOS 8.2 and connected again. No effect, same error message.
    Looked at various Apple posts but couldn’t find a solution. After several iMac & iPad reboots, eventually managed to back-up my iPad and in the process lost all my iPad music built up over the years on my old PC. Managed to recover these music files from my old PC and load them onto iTunes on my iMac. Tried to sync my iPad but back to error message “iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. The device is no longer connected”.
    Any solution?

    I have the same problem. In fact when I plug in my iPad 2 updated to ios 7.0.4 I get that same message and it crashes my entire system - forcing me to reboot.

  • ITunes could not connect to the iPhone because an unknown error occurred (OxE8000001)

    Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere but I don't have the nerves to read through thousands of "I've got the same problem too" replies. I do not care whether anyone has the same problem. So if you don't have any solution do not post! I'm not being rude, I'd just keep this discussion as accessible for other readers as possible. Besides, shouting "me too" doesn't really help anyone. Thank you.
    Here's my problem, I sync my iPhone via iTunes 10.5.2, which works fine but after a while it prompts with an error message "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because an unknown error occurred (OxE8000001)". This error message will not disappear and I have to force shut-down iTunes. It works OK for a while after re-start but the error comes back after a while. It is a very annoying little problem because I was waiting for WIFI syncing for so long and now it doesn't work properly
    Any ideas how to remedy this?

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

    A Google search has found a number of other iPhone owners having the same problem, but no resolution.  Anyone have a fix for this issue?

    Hi Annette, i think itunes keeps booting itself because either your ipad or iphone or ipod touch has 'Open iTunes when this ##### is connected' selected in its properties.
    to fix, connect whichever device you have to itunes using a cable, select the device in the left colmn and under the 'Summary' tab, deselect 'Open iTunes when this #### is connected'
    This was doing the same thing to me. drove me mad.
    I too am also having the same issue as the original poster with the cant connect message.
    regards
    Louis
