Why do my FaceTime calls keep dropping?

For about a month now every time I use FaceTime is says connecting and then drops without ever connecting. It doesn't mater who or when I used it, it happens every time. I have even turned wifi on and off on my iPad bc someone told me that might work. Still no luck. What do I need to do to get FaceTime back and connecting?

  • Why does my iphone 4 keep dropping wifi connection since ios5.0.1update

    Why does my iphone 4 keep dropping wifi connection since ios5.0.1 update, it worked perfectly before, my wifes 3gs connects fine and stays connected while my £400 paperweight losses connection, thinking of going back to nokia! Sort it out apple!

    If the "oh so Great Apple" were to monitor these forums then they might see all the problems
    that the people who have paid good money for their devices are having, i suppose they can do no wrong
    In your eyes, i just thought that if you pay a lot of money for a product that works fine, and you update
    It with a firmware update that they kept going on about how good it was and it can do this and it can
    Do that, then i think they should sort it out. I don't care if i "don't deserve to be an apple owner" or not,
    The fact is i paid my money and it should do what its suppose to do, i moved from Nokia to Apple because
    The N97 was crap and i put up with it for too long, and they didn't do anything to fix the bugs they just stopped
    Selling it and basically said tough s**t, so now this is happened i hoped Apple whould be better but they seem
    To be just like the rest.

  • Why does my apple tv keep dropping out of home sharing.

    why does my apple tv keep dropping out of home sharing.

    I use homeplug powerline adapters to create my home Lan. I've never had any problem with my ATV 2.
    This isn't ideal either, I would rather have shielded CAT7 cables reach all the way to my modem.
    Either way, wired solutions are more reliable and have a higher potential speed as wireless uses pulsed electromagnetic radiation as a means for transportation in stead of copper or fiber optic cables
    The World Health Organization's IARC has recently classified radio frequency electromagnetic fields as possibly level 2 carcinogenic to humans, concluding:
    "the evidence, while still accumulating, is strong enough to support a conclusion and the 2B classification. The conclusion means that there could be some risk, and therefore we need to keep a close watch for a link between cell phones and cancer risk."

    Is there any way of killing the Lion and getting Snow Leopard back.

  • Why do calls keep dropping?

    My calls have started routinely dropping during the conversation.  The phone rings okay but calls just keep dropping. 

        Janisr1970
    Thanks for the zip code information! Service should be great at that location, although service indoors can always be tricky due to uncontrollable items like building material. I'm glad you are getting such great service outdoors! This tells me there is not trouble with your phone. Let's check into any other availble options to improve your experience. Which make/model device are you using? Do you have highspeed internet at home?

  • Why do my calls keep dropping on my iPhone 5???

    I have an iPhone 5. T-Mobile. UK.
    My calls just keep dropping out all the time. Every phone call people are asking me to repeat myself because of my calls dropping out. Its so annoyin.
    Is this happening to anyone else???

    Same here...
    Bluetooth is also not working properly, I can have a full cellular signal but unable to make calls sometimes. People cannot hear me properly sometimes and I cannot hear them, this is when I am using the phone normally or with Bluetooth in my car. 3G just doesn't work at all, if I turn it on and off then the cellular signal drops to one or two bars, then I get "No Service" too.
    People keep telling me that they hae problems hearing me and that it is a bad line on just about every call...
    This is a replacement phone too, my wife is also having the same problems...I can't carry on using the phone with these problems as it is used to business, it's not acceptable.
    I've restore as a new phone, reset network settings reset to factory settings and have run out of patience. Seriously thinking of another phone or even going back to the 4S!

  • Updated to iOS 8.02 calls keep dropping in my car

    I just updated to iOS 8.02 and now i can make connections with my car, but the calls keep on dropping? Any help.

    Hi Janet,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    I can imagine it would be frustrating, having your iPhone not be able to make or receive calls after updating iOS. I recommend taking a look at the article below because it provides a lot of great troubleshooting tips that will resolve most issues like this.

    I hope this helps.

  • Why does my ipad 2 keep dropping the connection to my BT Home Hub, whilst streaming video, since upgrading to IOS 6?

    Ever since i have upgraded to IOS6 My connection to my BT Hub 3 wifi router keeps dropping out whenever i am streaming video. I have an Apple TV connected as well which is fine as are other devices, its just the Ipad since the move to IOS6. It is really frustrating and i had hoped the 6.01 release would have resolved it, but it didnt. I have seen other similar comments, i just want to know if this is a common known fault which Apple are going to fix.
    The strength of Apple has always been 'it just works' , i can't help but feel that there are cracks appearing in this.
    David

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Why does my Macbook Pro keep dropping its wireless connection?

    Hi everyone,
    Last year I purchased a 2013 Macbook Pro 13". Everything had been working well up until yesterday afternoon. My wi-fi connection keeps dropping roughly every 5 minutes for no apparent reason, with an exclamation mark flashing over the signal strength icon. It runs on Mavericks with all software updates etc. up to date. I live in a student house with 7 other people, so the network could be overburdened, though it's been fine until now. I've reset Safari, deleted info regarding the wireless network and reinstalled it, and deleted all the keychain info, but it hasn't really helped.
    I would be grateful for any responses, thanks!

    Hello aidenhh,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Wi-Fi on your MacBook.  I would be concerned about this too.
    I recommend following the steps in the section labeled, "Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly" in the following article to resolve an issue like the one you described:

  • Why does my wifi connection keep dropping in and out?

    I have Samsung Galaxy Note 2. The wifi is connected to the wireless router and is the only pc of equipment that is. Full bars. Yet the note keeps dropping the wifi saying it has authenticity errors? My previous cell had absolutely no issues. And its a new router.

        I regret to learn of the issues, funeralguy77! Lets figure it out together. Can you try to connect another device to the same WiFi connection. Does it connect? Have you tried to delete/forget the connection and trying again?
    Please share additional details so that we can help!
    Thank you,

  • Why does my imac mouse keep dropping out?

    My bluetooth mouse on my iMac keeps dropping out even though it has relatively new batteries. Is there any hope for it?

    Sometimes making a Bluetooth device a favourite can help. It fixed it for me when I had exactly the same problem:
    System Preferences>Bluetooth, select the mouse on the left and then click on the small 'cog' at the bottom left of the window and select 'Show more info'. You should now get the option to make the mouse a 'favourite'.
    I've also seen it suggested on here that adding a small piece of thin card/paper to where the batteries are can make them more secure and stop them breaking contact with the terminals. Not tried this one myself as I didn't need to.

  • Why does my iMac wireless keep dropping out?

    My iMac wi-fi keeps dropping out intermittently.  Sometimes, I can trace it to the router, but sometimes, everything else stays connected to the router, and only my iMac drops out.  I can check 'speed test' app in my iPhone4s through the router and it is still working and connected, but the iMac has dropped off.  It usually will connect back up, but sometimes takes 2 tries to get the job done.  It is starting to get annoying in frequency.
    The iMac is about 1 year old now.  This has been happening recently.  I suspect trouble in my airport extreme card, but don't know how to check it out.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    Jim

    never mind.  I went to apple care support and after deleting some plists, resetting the computer a few times and a few other tricks, it is working well again.
    But to answer your questions: airport monitor of computer.  I have a Cisco router.  The iPhone was using internet and the speed test app showed normal connections and speed.
    Thanks for your interest,
    Jim

  • My phone calls keep dropping

    my iphone 4s keeps dropping calls

    Device operating system releases are "released" by specific carriers once they have certified and trained their support techs, but still, you are able to load to any carrier's same model by following the instructions below.
    See the link below, for the download and simple installation instructions.
    http://www.blackberryforums.com/general-9700-series-discussion-bold-2/224375-latest-os-9700-5-0-0-10...
    Do a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > Backup. Close Desktop Manager upon completion.
    1. Download the OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
    2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
    3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.
    Some users might worry they will void their device warranty by loading an OS from another carrier. There is really nothing to worry about.
    Please read more information on that here:
