    Sorry, no. Apple does not support downgrading.
    Have you tried to go into your settings, reset, reset network settings? It'll erase your current network from your iPad and let you start over.

  • Why can't I use facetime on 3G ?

    Hello guys,
    U know, facetime is really amzaing...
    But only wifi....
    Why can't I use that on 3G ?
    Anybody knows that ?

    You are not talking to Apple here... we are all just users like you and have no inside knowledge of why FT is not operable over 3G, except for what Apple has said about the subject. I suspect it's a bandwidth issue.

  • 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

  • I have been having a lot of problems since downloading the IOS7 on my iPad whereby it freezes for several minutes.  Can anyone help me or is there something I should be doing right away when this happens?

    I have been having lots of problems with my iPad 2 freezing since I downloaded the IOS7.  It freezes for several minutes each time this happens.  Is there something you can suggest that I do to eliminate this problem in the future?

    First thing to try is a reset: Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.

  • Why can't I use FaceTime on my iPhone 3S?

    iPhone 2, 3 and 3S users should be able to use FaceTime just like Skype. Is there any way to activate FaceTime on my iPhone 3S running iOS 5.0.1?

    Well, I just thought it could work like Skype or Tango, I use them happily on my iPhone 3S using the rear camera. Also, I've tried FaceTime on my friend's iPod Touch 4 and it has an option to use the rear camera (Again, like Skype). Why not release an update with that? I think is a good idea. Anyways, thanks!
    So explain how you are video chatting using the rear camera? Obviously either A) you cannot see the person you are talking to because you are talking to the back of the phone or B) They cannot see you because you are watching them on your screen on the phone. What is the point of video chatting if you cannot do both A and B above at the same time? Just because Skype makes an inferior app doesn't mean it is worth using on a phone without a forward facing camera. Also my iphone 4S can change to the rear so people can see what I am looking at but most of the time I am facing them chatting. One other thing, facetime on my macbook only has the forward facing camera so I cannot change cameras on it. If you are seeing a trend here it is that you need a forward facing camera to use the phone and a iphone 4 or better. It was one of the selling points of the iphone 4 just like siri was the selling point of the 4s yet it is not on the 4 which is capable of handling it too.
    One final thing. There is no 3S. It is a 3GS or a 3G.

  • Why can't I use FaceTime on ipad? I had the ability, then I got my new phone and can't answer on my iPad, but can answer on my phone.

    I have been using my iPad to FaceTime. She. I got my new phone I started using facetime on that also. Now I can't get my calls to connect on my iPad. I have tried changing my settings so that only when you call using my email on my iPad and my phone number on my phone and selecting both on both devices and still no help.  What should my setting be on for my iPad and my phone so I can FaceTime on either one?

    Yes.  You are being paranoid.
    There is no Fcetime icon on any iphone.  You turn it on in settings.  Select a contact and scroll down to the facetime button in order to make a facetime call.
    You cannot delete or add the app store.
    It was likely on another page, in a folder or you have restrictions set.
    Don't know what "can't download anything " means.

  • HT6058 I can no longer use facetime or messages after the iOS 7.0.4 update.

    After the most recent update, I can no longer connect to Facetime and I no longer recieve messages.  I can send texts, but I don't think I can receive them.  Any ideas on when a fix can be expected?

    Change your iPod DNS to 8.8.8.8
    That should work. Cheers

  • Why can't I use my iTunes gift cards in the Apple Store or online to purchase Apple merchandise?

    I have received iTunes gift cards from people who expected that I would use them to buy Apple merchandise.  I understand that there are two different types of gift cards but it just seems intuitive that they would be interchangeable Since it all funnels back to Apple.

    Because this is how Apple has chosen to operate it's business.
    No one here would know why they made that decision and discussing Apple policies and decisions is not permitted here.

  • Why can you not use Apple Pay for purchases in the App Store or iTunes?

    To make a purchases in the App Store or iTunes, it appears you can only pay by entering Mastercard, Visa, Discover, or AmEx information.   If you select none and try to make a purchase, you will again be prompted to enter this information.  I would like to use my Apple Pay account to pay for Apps/tunes, but that doesn't  seem possible.  It seems this negates one of the primary benefits of Apple Pay, which is to make purchases without turning over your credit card information to the merchant, in this case Apple.  I know you can pay with Touch ID, but that is only authoring payment from your credit card information you have on file.

    Hello ToastyFlake,
    It sounds like you are wanting to use ApplePay to purchase content from either the iTunes or App Stores. According to the following article, you are correct. ApplePay is for in-app (if the app supports it) or purchasing from a retail store. 
    Set up and use Apple Pay
    Pay with Apple Pay in stores
    On iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, you can use Apple Pay in stores that accept contactless payments. Look for one of these symbols at checkout:
    Pay with Apple Pay in apps
    On iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air 2, and iPad mini 3, you can use Apple Pay to pay within apps when you see the “Buy with Apple Pay” or “Apple Pay”  button as a payment method. Look for these buttons in apps:
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Why can't I use several apps anymore since update to iOS8?

    It really harasses me not being able to use several apps on my iPad anymore since I updated to iOS8. I paid for some of them not to long ago!!! Why doesn't Apple warn people that some apps will not work anymore when you update? I have already contacted the developers but they told me, that Apple has changed such a lot, that it would take them too much time to make their apps compatible.

    Apple should offer the ability to downgrade the device back to the previous version of iOS for people in your situation.
    I learned the hard way, long ago: don't upgrade unless you HAVE TO. It's almost always best to never update more than one major version past the one your Mac or i-device came with. It will become slow and laggy, as the newer systems are made to run best on newer hardware. Plus you get to deal with apps breaking, since Apple has a very small commitment, if any, to backwards compatibility.
    I've had Apple render all my software obsolete and non-functional twice and major portions of it one more time, during the 68000-PPC-Intel-32bit-64bit transitions. I always knew it would happen with iOS eventually, as well.
    Sadly many great developers and their great apps were killed off by these transitions since they were smaller devs who could not justify redoing a niche product that didn't pay their bills well enough. It's part of life, like when a great restaurant goes away. Nothing lasts forever.
    My advice is that you buy a used device with the iOS version you prefer. I still have iOS 6 on my iPad because it does everything I want, and who knows if these apps will still work on newer versions, or if the iPad will become unusably laggy. Besides, I greatly prefer the look-and-feel of iOS 6 with its gray UI and easy-on-the-eyes, subdued tonality. I cannot stand the stark, bland, oppressive whiteness of iOS 7–8. To each their own.
    RIP Steve
