Why can't I use FaceTime on my ipad2 using cellular network

I can not successfully use FaceTime over my cellular network as advertised by the ios 6 upgrade.  I even got I message stating I had to use FaceTime over a Wi Fi network.  What's going on?

FaceTime over 3G/4G is only on the iPad 3, not the iPad 2 - from the bottom of http://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/
3. FaceTime video calling requires a FaceTime-enabled device for the caller and recipient and a Wi-Fi connection. FaceTime over a cellular network requires iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, or iPad (3rd generation) with cellular data capability

    Where did you get the phone? Facetime is banned in a number of countries in the Middle East. Phones that originate there have had facetime permanently removed. It can not be added back.

  • Why can't I run quicktime videos on ipad2?

    why can't I run quicktime videos on ipad2?

    Eric-
    QuickTime is capable of playing more video formats than the iPad.  The iPad can play M4V, MP4 and some MOV format videos.  It can not play formats like WMV and FLV.
    One thing you can do is to convert the video formats on your computer. 
    A free program that can do it is HandBrake, which is available for both PC and Macintosh at <Download>.

  • Why can't I get facetime to work?

    I have activated facetime the iphone, the wifi works but when someone calls using facetime, the caller has a ring tone and it just rings and rings. Nothing happens on the receiving end. However a missed call message comes up once the caller hangs up. Does anyone know why this happens and how this can be solved?

    I have the same issue. My little bro told me to go into the wifi settings, go to advanced, and change the DNS sever from whatever to "8.8.8.8". i was skeptical at first but it worked. The problem now is I still can't facetime with anyone! So maybe its not such a good idea after all. My macbook pro is brand new and came with Lion pre-installed. the next issue too is that i noticed the mac app store is still selling the 1.02 version of the facetime app. i checked my one and noticed I have version 1.1! I think that this is the real problem. I tried buying the app on the App store and it told me to delete the facetime app I have on my MBP because my facetime is a "later version of the app". I tried deleting it but the OS won't allow me to delete it because its already integrated in the system! I realize now that this might not be helping......

  • Website is AWFUL. Why can't I access support?  Why can't I do FaceTime on a iMac desktop?  Wish I never would have bought a Mac.

    This is horriboe!  In order to ask a question - I had to re-enter my login info 5 times....  I get security, but come on!  And to top it off, you can't even speak with a Apple tech/Rep.  It is so hard to find answers to questions about my iMac desktop that I wish I never would have bought it.  We would like to use FaceTime on it, but cannot figure out how to install it/why it won't work on here.

    This is unfortunate indeed.  We community members would like to help.

    Don't know why that was.  This forum system has lots of bugs. It stalled out for ten minutes today for me.  No one has been able to convince apple to fix instead of the ocasional patches.
    And to top it off, you can't even speak with a Apple tech/Rep.

    Here is how to find out what version of Mac OS you are running:
    Click on the blue apple in the upper left hand of the screen.
    click on this icon
    Click on the first line, "About This Mac"
    Most of these are numbers & that's what we want.
    What version & Processor do you have?

  • Why Can't I make FaceTime cellular calls on my Mac anymore?

    For some reason I can no longer make FaceTime audio calls on my Mac.  I receive the following error on my Mac : "IPhone Calls Not Available.  Your iPhone must use the same iCloud and FaceTime account." 
    Of course my iPhone does use the same iCloud and FaceTime account as I have set up on the Mac.  I've tried logging out and logging back in.  Unchecking and rechecking all of the contact boxes.  Nothing.
    Please advise

    Disregard,
    I had to turn off FaceTime on my iPhone, then turn it back on and change the caller ID from my e-mail address to my phone number.  This brought up an option on the computer asking if I wanted to use the phone number with FaceTime.  That solved the problem.
    Crazy.

  • TS3367 When I try to activate y FaceTime, I get "An error occurred during activation.  Try again."  I have a good password, I'm on wifi, I've tried toggling off and back on again... why can't I get FaceTime to work?

    When I try to activate my FaceTime, I get an error msg that says, "An error occurred during activation.  Try again."  I have a good password (I used it to get here...); I'm on WiFi; I've toggled FT off and back on again but I cannot get past the error message and get activated.  What's wrong?  Thanks.  Talking about my iPhone (4). 

    Its possible that the server can be down now. Have you ever used it before?  If you want, try resseting the phone by just holding the sleep/wake key and the home button together for 10 seconds.  Then wait 5 seconds when it turns off and press the sleep/wake button to turn it back on.  Then try it again.  Let me know what the results are.

  • Why can't I get FaceTime to work on ipad2

    I've tried to do the 8.8.8.8 on the settings, I have everything in working order. I never used FaceTime prior to now even though my iPad is over a year old. I have always used my iPhone. I don't understand why it won't let me  get it going. Any suggestions would be great.

  • Why can't sign in in the apple store using my apple id? but from the itunes application in my computer which i downloaded, i can use my apple id to sign in...and while opening my apple store it appears blank..i don't know what happened?

    why can't i sign in in the apple store using my apple id? but from the itunes application in my computer which i downloaded, i can use my apple id to sign in...and while opening my apple store in my phone it appears blank..i don't know what happened?

    It's a straightforward port-forwarding issue.
    You need to forward ports to the internal ip address of your apple tv as follows:
    TCP 123
    TCP 3689
    UDP 5353
    TCP 80
    TCP 4343
    TCP 53
    This may also solve other problems you may have with homesharing...

  • Why can't I delete music from my iphone using itunes match anymore?

    I thought for sure I used to be able to swipe to delete albums or tracks on my iphone - on my iphone 5 I can no longer do this. I found that if I turn itunes match off, I can delete. But turning itunes match on and off a lot is really a huge issue. It seems every time I do this the iphone loses track of some of the music.
    Why why why can't these problems be fixed?!

    Awful, awful awful.
    Apple ... what were you thinking, and why did you mess up your product so badly?
    Why are you screwing over those who are the most devoted, who paid for an extra?
    Really.  Could this be more frustrating:
    You download a great new album!
    You want to listen to it on your iPhone!
    Oh wait, your iPhone is full.  Over capacity.  AND YOU SPEND AN HOUR TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET SONGS OFF YOUR IPHONE, reading every forum and every trick to somehow make the product work the way it should.  Trying to clear some space for that great new album you just got!
    But it still doesn't.
    ... frustrated, you end up deleting the whole library.  Because there seems to be no other way to clear space.
    And re-download.
    But "use cellular data" is back on, so it downloads when you're out.
    And your phone bill is now $300 because you live in Canada and the data caps are so low.
    Great.  Now I paid over $350 to get my music I already own onto the phone.
    At this point, the old USB seems like a better option.  Or even the firewire 400.  Longing for the days of my 10 gig iPod with a FireWire cable.
    Thanks. So much for "positive user experience".
    Easy to buy music, hard to get it on to your device.  But as long as I've already given you my money, who cares right?!
