I can call facetime my contact/friend but status says "CONNECTING" but doesnt connect. what should be done to overcome/correct it.
I have tried logginf off my account and sign in after restarting my iphone. But it still doesnt help !! Any suggestion/Help is appreciated. Many thanks
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. Some users have reported that Apple is aware of the issue.

None of the apps are worked once the music from iTunes was synced to the ipad
Try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.

When I click on bbc iplayer, no vdeos load or work. I just seen a black screen. BBC news and bbc football I can't watch any videos
By all means try the Reset as advised by Tyler, but note you then loose extensions, open tabs, and possibly some settings, as explained in the article Tyler linked to. (You may wish to bookmark tabs, and extensions home pages. Plugins are not touched by reset)
I note you
* have been using the article [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]
* downgraded to Flash 10.3 (see system details aside)
* have RealPlayer related software/plugins, so please ensure that is all fully updated
If the reset does not work the next thing to try is disabling Flash Players protected mode, that solves a lot of FlashPLayer problems on Firefox Windows. (Not the simplest of tasks but this [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/forums/support-forum-contributors/708905?last=50206#post-50153 post] contains links to instructions)
As an aside YouTube does or did have options to try HTML5 beta versions, you may need to check whether or not you are enrolled in that, as that may solve or cause problems in some circumstances. -
Can't call Facetime Audio contacts from Apple Watch
Why can't you call Facetime Audio contacts from the Apple Watch? All it does is hand it off to the iPhone where I need to tap a button to call using the iPhone. Even contacts with FaceTime audio can't be called from the Apple Watch. iMessage is fine though. Am I missing something here?
When I choose a contact from Friends, all numbers are there, but no FaceTime at all.You could leave feedback at:
https://www.apple.com/feedback/
If I had to guess at the reason, I'd say one or more of:
- Avoiding impact on watch battery life
- Some constraint on the wifi watch-to-phone connection (don't ask me what - I'm guessing )
- Feature planned for the future, but Apple following its normal practice of starting with restricted features and adding them incrementally later (as, for example, with iPhone, which had very little at first) -
I have two IPhones and one IPad all with the same Apple ID. I can call facetime between the two IPhones, but I cannot call the IPAD from either of the IPhones and when I call my IPhone from the IPad it rings my wife's IPhone after briefly calling mine.
Each device needs a separate address. Use an email address (gmail.com) on the iPad.

I have an iPhone 4s. My problem is that I can't see the icon of FaceTime and iMessage. I need to use these apps. What should I do?

FaceTime:
Check Settings>FaceTime>ON and check Settings>General>Restrictions>FaceTime>ON. There is no icon, on the 4 & 4S FaceTime is accessed through contacts. Go into your Contacts, access the contact you want to FaceTime with and you will see a tab at the bottom of their contact card. You can also access FaceTime by going into your Phone app, select dialling keypad, dial number, press call and an option for FaceTime on the keypad will appear. It should be noted that FaceTime has been removed from iPhones sold in some Middle Eastern countries at the express wish of the respective Governments.
iMessage:
Check Settings>Messages>iMessage>ON. The icon is the same as your SMS icon. This support document will explain how to use iMessage http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3529 -
I cannot log onto the App Store, the page appears when I call it from the dock or the Apple menu and I can call the log-in box from the menu bar, but on signing in the spinning icon just keeps spinning,(not the beachball). Using 10.6.7 and up-to-date on all software. Any suggestions?
Could be a third party app preventing you from being able to login.
Mac App Store: Sign in sheet does not appear, or does not accept typed text
If it's not a third party issue, follow the instructions here.
Quit the MAS if it's open.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left then open the Library folder then the Caches folder.
Move the com.apple.appstore and the com.apple.storeagent files from the Caches folder to the Trash
From the same Library folder open the Preferences folder.
Move these files Preferences folder to the Trash: com.apple.appstore.plist and com.apple.storeagent.plist
Same Library folder open the Cookies folder. Move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
Relaunch the MAS. -

I broke my iPhone 4s screen and display. Siri worked to make calls but now says "Siri not available, connect to the internet". How do I make Siri work again till I get my new phone?
If not connected to the Internet, either through WiFi or 3G, you can't.

I recently downloaded the 5.1.1 and all of a sudden the contact icon has disappeared. I can still access my contact list through the phone icon, but I want the contact icon back. How can I reinstall it?
You can't delete it. Look on all your screens and inside all your folders. If you still can't find it go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. This will restore the home screen to its original configuration but may move other apps around to do so.

Why, why, why??? can i not sync – contacts with my Mac in OSX Mavericks? Why must it be done in the "cloud"? This is a very unnecessary change!
"Why, why, why??? "
This is how Apple has desigend the product. No one here would know why.
"can i not sync – contacts with my Mac in OSX Mavericks? "
You can sync via icloud. You cannot sync contacts via the cable.
"Why must it be done in the "cloud"?"
This is how Apple has desigend the product. No one here would know why. -

I've purchased an app called Metalstorm: Wingman. I tried to install it, but it's not letting me. What should I do?
First of all - if you are in the purchased tab of the app store - If you tap on "All" at the top - when you find the app - it should either say Installed and it should be greyed out because it is already on the iPad - or if you tap on "Not on this iPad" at the top - when you find the app it should have a cloud icon next to it so that you can tap that and download the app.
So if the word Installed is greyed out - the app is on your iPad - and that is why tapping install does no good. You can search for the app on the iPad with Spotlight. Swipe to the right from the first home screen and type in the name of the app at the top and see if it does show up.
If you are sure that it is not on the iPad - or available for download like I described above - I have no idea what the problem is but try some basic troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. See if it will install now.
Quit the apps store app completely and then try again.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit the app by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on the app store icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the app. Try to download the app again. -
and i can screenshot but screen is still black after restore what should I do, could it be a loose cable in the phone under the metal shield?
Hello Dopeslayer242,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone. I would be concerned too if I only saw a black screen.
I recommend following steps 2-6 below for an issue like this:
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
If you get to step 5, I recommend backing up your iPhone before performing the restore:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Sheila M.
