TS3367 Trouble With FaceTime On iPad Mini

I have a new iPad Mini.  I have turned on FaceTime in Settings and loaded new contacts who have existing iPads of iPhones.  When I try to connect with FaceTime, it gives the message that "FaceTime is turned off in Settings.  Do you want to turn it on?"  I select "Yes", but the connection is not made.  Also, when I add these people as contacts to Facetime, it gives an error each time with the message "Error description not available".  Does anyone have any solution to this dilemma?

  • I am having trouble with resetting my ipad mini. I have been having it on reset for 2 hours already and its still on the same spot and not moving anywhere. How long does it usually take to restore settings?

    Anyone having same issue as mines please help me put. I am having trouble with resetting my ipad mini.

And how can i exot put of ot from restoring anymore?

    This is how you Reset  - Reset 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • TS3367 Trouble with FaceTime -ipad2 and MacBook Pro

    I can't make a FaceTime call from my ipad2 to my MacBook Pro or vice versa.  The ringtone sounds but there's no connection and then the call fails.  I've been through the troubleshooting tips and the problem is unresolved.  Does anyone have any other suggestions?

    Running into the same problem Pashy. I can facetime my husband from my macbook pro. But when I try to contact him using my ipad 2 nothing happens. I try contacting him thru the AIM address listed in my contacts and nothing happens when I click the link however it  will work with the mobile numbers.

  • Hy, I have a problem with a new iPad Mini.

    Hy, I have a problem with a new iPad Mini.
    When I try to use the cameras, it doesn't work.
    I get to take 3-4 pictures and after that all I see is the shutter.
    It happends even if just start the camera app, or the facetime app, after 4-5s.
    I've reinstalled IOS 6.1 but nothing changed.
    It is a new ipad. What can I do?

    Ok, Orange Romania changed my iPad mini but now I have another problem.
    I bought the iPad mini on 01/feb/2013, took it to service on 06/feb/2013, and got another ipad mini on 12/feb/2013.
    But the new ipad mini keeps requesting the password for some user [email protected], and it does it from the first day of activation. This is suspect for me, so I checked it's serial with selfsolve.apple.com and it shows "Estimated Expiration Date: January 31, 2014" and since it has one year free service I am worried the iPad mini wasn't new.
    Please help.

  • Why can't I connect to my home WiFi network with my new iPad Mini?

    Why can't I connect to my home WiFi network with my new iPad Mini when I can connect to free WiFi networks at cafes and public areas?

    Try this:
    1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again
    2. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

  • When I make a video with the camera ipad mini seen but not heard I can do ?

    when I make a video with the camera ipad mini seen but not heard I can do ?

    Yeah, of course you can. All you do is, open PhotoBooth, record your video and then, once you have stopped the video recording just drag the movie out of the bottom of PhotoBooth onto the desktop. It is in .mov format so you can then add it to iMovie for further editing or just upload it to youTube as it is.
    Easy as pie!

  • How do you set up FaceTime on ipad mini

    How do I take my phone number off my kids ipad minis and add there phone numbers or emails for FaceTime? They both have icloud.com accts., I tried adding their icloud emails but they would not verify. I want us all to use the same iTunes account but have separate face time and email and the iMessage. This is why I did separate iCloud account so we would all have storage and Still be able to use my iTunes account For music and books. They keep getting all my messages and all of my emails and I want us to have separate ones.
    Thanks

  • Headphone volume too loud in Facetime calls - iPad Mini Retina 7.1.1

    Hi,
    I have an iPad Mini Retina Space grey 32GB Wifi version updated to the newest iOS 7.1.1.
    I've noticed that the headphone volume during Facetime calls is always extremely loud even on lowest volume setting and there's no way to lower the volume further down. It's independent of the person I call, and the same problem appears in both in Facetime video and Facetime audio calls.
    The bug only appears in the Facetime app and only after inserting the headphones and (not noticable when using the speaker). Setting a volume limit in Settings doesn't affect this loud volume during Facetime calls. I've tried 3 different headphones and I've also done a full reset of the iPad and setting up a completely new iCloud account.
    I also have an iPad Mini (1st gen) and an iPhone 4 and I don't experience this bug on those devices.
    Have anyone experienced the same bug? Any solution?

    pandora?      once I got used to it, it bacame second nature to simple reach over and toggle the hotspot off and on.  not great if you have the constant need, but if you have the constant need, it wouldnt be shutting down in the first place.  
    If this is a big issue for you, and there is no persistant wifi available, you might think about a standalone portable hotspot.  Pretty much every carrier in the US has one they would be happy to sell you, along with a data plan.
    (look on e bay for a used one )

  • Anyone else having trouble with FaceTime today

    What's with face time

    Hello,
    I too still have issues with this.
    We have several ipad minis in our family and version 7.1.1 has been installed in all devices, but still when I try to connect to my father (since the ios upgrade), the connection in facetime is always failing. Both ways. we make the facetime call, and once it is answered, it really doesn't work. It just keeps "connecting" until one of us refuses the call.
    I have followed every step of the troubleshoot that apple provided on this, and all should be ok. WI-FI and internet connection are great, but still, since the upgrade as it was working before, it's impossible to have facetime conversations.
    Apple seriously needs to review this as Facetime was actually the main reason we all got ipads on the first place. I may be also the main reason why we move on to something else.
    Best regards.
