What happened to FaceTime?

Around this time last year, and for whatever reason, the quality of facetime calls seriously degraded. The people we talk to for the most are my wifes parents who live in a different state. We both have ipad 3's MASSIVE bandwidth and stable connections. Yet, we constantly get poor connection quality errors, Stuttered playback and outright dropped connections. It wasn't always like this. I can remember when it work, and it worked well, consistantly.
In fact, no matter who I use facetime with, the quality overall just *****. I don't know if this is a question or a comment at this point. I just want it back to were it was a year ago.

This is probably pack peddling for you, but can you share some data: What is your bandwidth-upload and download speed. Did you (or a close by neighbor) add anything new in your home a year ago that has any kind of wireless transmitter? Have you been able to try FaceTime from another wireless network/location?
I know you said you have "massive" bandwidth, but, clearly something is wrong.
Do you know that the parents can facetime to someone else and it works, or not?
Have you tried resetting your network settings on the iPad >Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

What happened to Facetime registration process?

What has happened to the Facetime and Messages Login on my Mac today?
Accounts deactivated, Can't reenable them.
Error Message is: server error occurred during process of registration (or similar to that).
Seems that alot of people have problems right?
Sigh. I wish Tim Cook would be more interested in the reliability of Apple's products.
Facetime is a main feature they advertise with... and it is not working... a real shame.

Noticed the error today. In Germany the @googlemail.com email-ending finally changed to @gmail.com so I was able to shorten my email. According to that I changed my AppleID. All verfied. All working. iPad, iPhone, MAS, iTunes. All fine. Messages and Facetime... nope.
I logged out of Messages and Facetime to log in with my new verified AppleID and now everything is gone... **** it. I think Apple has to do alot of work if this idea of a unified AppleID to serve any service they offer shall work.
Today I'm really angry of Apple for this nonsense promlems they give us some days... remember the problems with iCloud when many people had to change the Password to start the IMAP server working with 3rd party email clients. Really... Apple has to remember who Apple was...

My Mac has FaceTime 2.0 and it is terrible, I tried to download a new copy but the apple store does not have 2.0 Also I chat was the way I communicated before I upgraded. What happened?

I upgraded to Lion X and have been having problems with FaceTime my version is 2.0 and the Apple store does not have this version, what happened to the changes, I used to use IChat and it was great, this is no longer available. Any hints for video conferencing or for what is going on.

You can video conference with the iChat component of Messages. Not sure if that's possible with Facetime. I have been using Facetime for video chat without any problems. Quality is no different than with iChat.

I want to change my Apple ID because I have a new email address, but what happens when someone tries to facetime me using my old Apple ID?

I want to change my Apple ID because I have a new email address, but what happens when someone tries to facetime me using my old Apple ID? Will they still be able to contact me on facetime using my old Apple ID?

Not if you change the ID. You would need to give them the new address.

I restarted my ipod touch and their is no facetime app what happened!!

Try restoring your iPod, you will need to re-install your content though (Sync from computer or download apps that were paid / free for free [since you already paid for them it saves it to your account proving you bought it] )
Hope this helps

Try the following:

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.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

My iMessage and Facetime have totally stopped working on my macbook pro - im still connected to wifi and my internet is working fine...what happened???

Help! My Facetime and iMessage just totally stopped working on my MacBook Pro - my wifi is still connected and all other apps/internet are working fine. What happened??

Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so.
Sign out of iMessage on the Mac:
          Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out
and on the iPhone:
          Settings ▹ Messages ▹ Send & Receive ▹ Apple ID ▹ Sign out
Then, on the phone, tap
          Use Your Apple ID for iMessage
Sign back into iMessage on both devices and test. If there's no change, you may have to wait for a change in network conditions.

HT4623 In syncing my Iphone 5 for the first time, Facetime disappeared. Although it shows up under apps in the settings menu, the application itself does not seem to be there. What happened? How can I fix this?

There has never been a facetime app on the iphone.
As the manual says, you access from contacts. Pick a contact and scroll down to the facetime button

What happened to my factory installed facetime icon on my ipad?

What happened to my factory installed facetime icon?

If the app used to be on the iPad (it's not on iPads sold in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and possibly a few other countries) and you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, nor via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > FaceTime being set 'off' ?
If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find it after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Ipad air what happened to my facetime

what happened to my face time on air ipad can i get it back or download it somewhere

Look in settings, general, restrictions and see if it was restricted, which removes the icon

Hi, today I was making a FaceTime call when a friend of mine knocked my iPhone 4s onto the ground. The screen turned blue for ten seconds then the phone rebooted. What happened?

I haven't noticed anything wrong with the phone, I just want to know what happened and if I should do something about this.

After some troubleshooting, I decided to order a new battery. I replaced the battery and was then able to get it to restore, however--after I restore it and it comes time to restart the phone, it gets stuck and doesn't turn on.
Sorry, your repair ruined the iPhone.
She does not have apple care and even though she loved this device, she isn't going to buy another iPhone because of all the problems shes had with this one (it's just over a year old).
After you ruined the iPhone with DIY, Apple won't touch it anymore. You should have asked before all these had happened.
I'm an android user myself and I love rooting/flashing new ROMS, so if jailbreaking her phone or doing some kind of super-restore with 3rd party programs might help, I'm all for it-
Yeah, all Android user can think of is Jailbreaking, read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3743
