Why can't they hear me on face time?

We can call each other; I can hear & see them, but they can only see me.
I found my mic (not sure where) and the volume bars lit when I talked. But they can't hear me.
They're using an iMac; I'm using a early 2008 MBP.

Maybe it's something on their end.  You can try and record yourself and see if the mic is working.

  • Video recording - why can't I switch cams like face time?

    I do interviews and video blogs and I would like to be able to setup a clip with the camera facing me and then switch to camera on back to let subject speak. If you can do it with face time, PLEASE put in a fix so I can do it while recording.
    I would really like the option to switch back and forth between cameras while recording video (like face time).
    Also, is there no way to upload HD videos from the phone after editing in iMovie?

    @OP
    You know, if something is not working for you, doesn't mean that that's the way it's done. Also, Google is amazing.
    Video recording DOES work with the front and back camera.
    If yours does not, restart your phone, restore as new, or go to an Apple store.
    Also, at the present moment, the iPhone does NOT support uploading directly in HD. The only current way is to put it on your computer and upload it from there.

  • Why can't i logg in to face time with my ipad2

    I can't connect to face time with my ipad2 anyone an idea how to fix this?
    Heeeelllp!

    HERE'S WHAT WORKED FOR ME: I signed out of Facetime on my mac and then I could sign in on my ipad. Suddenly after 50 attempts, my ipad verified instantly (it didn't even send an e-mail, it just verified instantly). I guess being signed in on my mac caused some kind of conflict on Apple's servers. Now for the funny part: I was immediately able to sign-in again on my mac and now both my pad and mac have working FaceTime. You just can't be signed in on your mac when you are trying to setup FaceTime for the first time on the iPad. I guess.

  • Why can't I sign in to face time?

    I just updated my iPod touch 4th generation 8 gigs to 4.3.2 and FaceTime isn't working, I can't sign it, it either tells me Check network connections, or wrong password, I did a full reset settings, still didn't work, so I did a full restore, set it up as new iPod and it still doesn't work, it just displays " You were signed out of FaceTime because your Apple ID or password changed. Sign in to turn on FaceTime." when I go in the FaceTime app, I even tried signing in in settings, still doesn't work, but my apple store ID is sign in, also my email, I don't get it, the wifi works fine with everything else except FaceTime. Help please!

    No game center would not work at all, but I fix it, all I did was turn off wifi and turn it back on, it work simple for me, FaceTime and game center work now

  • Why can't i send or receive face time calls on my mac/iphone

    just bought a new 13" macbook pro and when trying to use facetime with any iphone 4, the call just keeps ringing on either end and will not connect.
    maybe im doing somthing wrong?
    thanks
    andrew

    I Have the same problem that you have.
    I find a trick to make it work, but it can be a little annoting sometimes.
    Turn off your Macbook and then Turn it on, and re-open Facetime
    It should work
    Hope it will help

    Try to set it up as new device without the latest backup, to rule out a software problem:

    If this does not work, contact Apple to get it serviced or visit an Apple Store or an Authorized Apple Service Provider next to your place.

  • Why can't people hear me when they call me?

    Why can't people hear me when I answer the phone?

    I've been having the SAME problem.  I've made 2 trips to the "Genius" bar and they can't seem to find a fix.  It will work for a few minutes after I do a software restore and then *poof* suddenly stop working altogether.  Nobody can hear me although I hear them perfectly fine... and it doesn't matter where I am or if I'm on bluetooth, speaker phone, iPhone, etc.  I am frustrated along with you Kathiem.

  • Why can I not hear the person I am video chatting with?  They can hear me.

    Why can I not hear the person I am video chatting with?  They can hear me...

    Hi,
    There can be several reasons.
    1) They have their Mic Off.
    In iChat > Video Menu the Microphone Enabled (or Audio Chat Enabled in Lion) needs to be ticked.
    2) the System Preferences > Sound > Input tab Volume is not high enough ?
    Slide it to the right (their end)
    2a) the Mic selected here is not the one select in iChat > Preferences > Video section > Microphone drop down.
    3) there is an issue with the speed differences in the internet services you both have.
    If they are fast and sending lots of data and your end cannot buffer fast enough frame get dropped to smooth out video.  There comes a point when the audio can no longer keep in sync and is dropped as well.
    In iChat menu > Preferences > Video section > Bandwidth Limit set 500kbps at both ends
    This also smooths out ISP variances.
    4) after that it tends to be combos of things such as Processors involved, the Speed of those Processors and the speed or bandwidth available to the computers involved.

  • Why can't I block certain people face timing and imessageing me? I keep receiving random facetime calls every 5 minutes got to the point where I have has to turn facetime off.

    Why can't I block certain people face timing and imessageing me? I keep receiving random facetime calls every 5 minutes got to the point where I have has to turn facetime off.

    I'm having the same problem, but it's also coming through on my computer, through my Apple email address.  I have a very short Apple email, and little kids are trying to facetime their little friends, and then when I tell them I'm not their friend, they FaceTime or iMessage me even more, thinking that I'm still their friend, and I'm just kidding around. 
    I can't block the kids before they call...I don't know who they are.  I want to restrict my FaceTime to only my phone number, and block all FaceTime and iMessage requests that are coming in through my email address.  Can I do that?
    I have another thread:  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5840011

  • Why can't I hear the phone ring when I call somebody, but if I put the speaker on it works

    Why can't I hear the phone ring when I call somebody, but if I put the speaker on I can hear the ringing?

    Don't jump all the way to restoring just yet.  Check to make sure there's nothing in the headphone jack, and nothing covering the microphones (including the noise cancelling microphone at the top next to the headset jack)
    1. Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    2. Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
    3. Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
    4. Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
    Test the issue after each step.  If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.
