why cant i make a FaceTime call from iMessage on the iPad

Because you make a FaceTime call from FaceTime on the iPad.
On a Mac, you can start and iChat conversation from the Messages app and maybe that is what you are talking about. iChat can still be used in Mountain Lion in order to have a face to face conversation with other Mac users that are not running ML and therefore do not have FaceTime.

  • Is it possible to make a facetime call from an iPod Touch to a computer?

    My iPod Touch 4G is now capable of video chat. My computer (and my long-distance girlfriend's computer) are capable of video chat. As far as I can tell, those devices are unable to communicate with each other. I use Skype to video chat computer to computer, and I thought my new iPod Touch 4G would be able to call her computer on the go (so long as I'm in a decent wifi network.) Skype doesn't seem to be able to access that camera, though, and does voice only when I call. Facetime can access that camera, but as far as I can tell is incapable of calling anyone using a device other than another iPod Touch or iPhone.
    Is there any way for Facetime (or any other app I can download to my iPod Touch) to video chat with a regular computer? I don't understand why Apple would overlook this, if it's the case (and not just my inability to figure it out.) It seems basic that if I can video chat with another iPhone or iPod, I should be able to do the same with a properly equipped computer.

  • HT204380 If I make a FaceTime call from a iphone 4s or 4 to another one using the email, does it gets registered as a call in the monthly bill?

    I just want to know if the call gets registered on the bill when making a FaceTime call from iphone to iphone using the email.

    No, it doesn't get registered as a call as it functions simply as data through Wi-Fi

  • People can't hear me on the other end when I make facetime calls from my Imac

    People can't hear me on the other end when I make facetime calls from my IMAC

    I had the same problem on my brand new iMac and Apple Care solved it for me. Very simple.
    1. Restart your computer
    2. As soon as you hear the chime, press the SHIFT button until you see the Apple logo, then release it. This will put your computer into safe mode. When your computer boots up to the home screen in safe mode, Facetime will NOT work. That's normal.
    3. After your computer finishes booting up to your home screen, restart it normally. That solved the problem for me.
    Apple Care said that putting the computer into safe mode results in a diagnostics check that can fix certain problems. I hope this helps someone else.

  • HT1937 Why am I still not able to make a facetime call over my cellular network (sprint) after my iOS 6 update?

    I am not able to make a facetime call after my recent iOS update. It is still saying that I need to connect to wifi when I try to do so. Does not give use cellular option in my general settings.

    You will need to contact Sprint and find out what data plan you need.
    I'm with AT&T with unlimited data in order for me to use cellular data for facetime, I would need to sign up for a different plan.

  • How do I make a phone call from my mac with yosemite?

    How do I make a phone call from my MacBook Pro on the Yosemite operating system?

    The following quotation is from Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity
    There is more information in the link, including supported hardware and that you must have Settings > FaceTime > iPhone Cellular Calls set to on on the iPhone.
    Phone calls
    With Continuity, you can make and receive cellular phone calls from your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac when your iPhone is on the same Wi-Fi network.
    To make and receive phone calls, here's what you need:
    Sign in to the same iCloud account on all your devices, including your Mac.
    Your iPhone and your iPad or iPod touch need to use iOS 8 or later. Your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
    All devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
    All devices must be signed in to FaceTime using the same iCloud account. This means any device that shares your Apple ID will get your phone calls. Look below for instructions on how to turn off iPhone cellular calls.
    Wi-Fi Calling needs to be off. Go to Settings > Phone. If you see Wi-Fi Calling, turn it off.
    Make a call
    To make a phone call on your Mac, iPad or iPod touch tap or click a phone number in Contacts, Calendar, or Safari.
