Why does my iPad2 suddenly keep losing connection on facetime?

Why does my iPad2 suddenly keep losing connection on FaceTime and tries to constantly reconnect?

Does it happen anywhere that you use FaceTime or only in your home WiFi network? If it happens with your home network, have you tried power cycling your router? Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in.
Turn WiFi off and on in the settings. Reset the network settings.
Have you tried any troubleshooting steps at all?

    Sometimes resetting these "fixes" odd problems - and it cannot hurt.
    To make a device a favorite, go to system preferences>bluetooth.  Highlight the device.  If detailed information is not shown, click oin the little gear>show more info.  Then click on the gear again and make the device a favorite.

  • Why does my Magic Mouse keep losing connection?

    I've had my Magic Mouse for about 6 months now. I use it with my MacBook Pro RD. It works fine most of the time but every now and then it would lose connection for anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes. This happens even with newly replaced batteries so I know it's not a battery problem. I really expected better from what I thought would be a high quality mouse from Apple.
    I am thinking of sending it back to be repaired or something, but when I entered its serial number to check the warranty status, I get the error "We're sorry, but this serial number is not valid. Please check your information and try again." In fact, the serial number printed on my mouse's battery compartment has 17 characters but the support page here only allows you to enter a 14-character serial number! What is going on?

    I was having the same problem and found another thread with the solution. Basically the problem is some batteries do not fit tightly in the compartment and jiggle around causing the mouse to lose power and therefore the connection. The solution is either buy the apple rechareable batteries or wedge a piece of paper in between the batteries and the compartment lid (I used a bit on an index card fold over on itself). Once I did that = no more lost connection every 10 minutes.
    The thread I'm referring to is here:

    Posting in case someone else (like I did) comes here looking for an answer.

  • Why does my ipad2 suddenly exit the apps I use ?

    How come that sometimes when I'm using my ipad2,it suddenly exits the app I'm using & go's back to my home screen?

    Try restarting it. Press and hold the sleep / wake switch until the red slider appears, then slide it to power off.
    If you updated to iOS 6, sometimes app developers just have to catch up. Check for updates in the App Store.

  • Why does my iPhone 4 keep losing sound?

    About an hour ago my iPhone4 stopped making sounds--no key clicks, no alerts, iTunes music won't play, camera doesn't work. Anyone got any ideas? This is my 2nd iPhone4 in about 2 months. Same thing happened with previous iPhone.
    Thanks for any assist.
    P.S. I may not respond quickly, have no sound cues...

    To further elaborate on my issue, I was playing solitaire on my phone during a commercial break on Hulu--suddenly there were no clicks as the cards were turned and cards also responded slowly to the tap. I've not had any water damage and I carry the phone in an Otterbox Defender case. When I open music for playback, the player interface opens, I tap the play button, it highlights, goes to pause button instantly, then back to play button. Does the same for videos in TED talks app, videos I've shot with the phone, videos loaded from my iTunes library. 
    I guess it's back to the Apple Store--I appreciate the functionality of the device, when it works it's great but no audio, no video, no games, no alerts--it fails me as a communication device.
    Thanks again for any assist.

  • Why does my tab name keeps saying 'Connecting...' when page is already done? It does not display the websites' name.

    Whenever I open a website in a different tab, it keeps on saying 'Connecting...' when the page is already done. And it wouldn't display the web pages' name. This is really hard for me to identify the different websites.

    Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    # You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    # Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • Why does my iPhoto library keep losing thumbnails?

    I own an external Hard Drive containing my photographs and in the past 2 weeks, my iPhoto thinks it's a good idea to lose all of my thumbnails for my photographs.
    When it tries to rebuild itself, nothing happens and remains the same and when I do it myself it's the same thing with no result. Had to create a new library but lost all of my photographs and when I redirected to my original library all photo's appeared!
    Thought it was my hard drive but it seems to be working fine as my music library is on there too and seems to be working fine?
    Is this an issue synonymous with iPhoto and has anyone experienced this. As a freelance photographer, this is rather annoying!
    Thanks for reading,
    Stevie.

    Thanks for the info guys.
    The Format is Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    Just to let you know, my iPhoto Library did the same thing again where all thumbnails were missing. When I select an album to view, the pictures appears as cut outs similar to when first importing.
    To resolve this I had to select another Library I had setup then re-select my original library where all of my photographs appeared.
    Really not liking this system as I'm worried it may cost me money in losing the work of my clients. Appreciate your words of wisdom and advice; one and all.

  • Why does my Photoshop CC keep losing my actions? The program isn't crashing, but occasionally when I open it or Lightroom, all of my actions and presets that I've loaded are gone.

    This is getting so damn frustrating.  I hate having to continually load actions into Photoshop CC and presets into Lightroom 5.

    I would like the answer to this also.  It deleted about 2/3 of mine.  I cleared the workspace and started a new one.  I fixed my actions back in the order I wanted and uploaded it to CC.  Then they disappeared again.  Whats going on and how can I fix it?

  • Why does Outlook Express suddenly keep quitting?

    For no reason that I can think of, during the last few days Outlook Express quits when I try to compose an e-mail. I can't even access my address book. I can use my webmail account with no problem, but I like the way Outlook Express allows me to set up a group for e-mails.

    You cannot repair the drive you have booted from. You must boot from another drive or the installer disc to repair the drive. You can however repair permissions on thwe boot drive however as was suggested.
    Just another wild guess about your problem with Outlook Express- could it be a Daylight Savings Time (DST) issue? Microsoft and Apple had all sorts of patches for their software to overcome the recent change in DST.

  • Why does my mouse keep losing connection every minute

    why does my mouse keep losing connection every minute, its not the batteries

    I'm having the same issue.  Every so often it loses connection then re establishes. This goes on repeatedly.
    If you change batteries while the computer is still active then it takes for ever to re connect.
    Can't wait until someone replies to your question.

  • Why does my mouse keep losing connectivity

    My magic Mouse (came with the system) keeps losing connectivity.  It seems that whenever the mouse has a period of inactivity such as when I am using the key board, it loses connectivity and I have to double tap it (two fingers) to get it to reconnect.  Battery is >80%.  Is this normal or is there a setting that can insure it stays connected?  I appreciate any advice even if it is I have to put up with this annoyance.  Thanks.

    BDAqua
    Thanks for the response.  My WFi is a Linksys E2000.  Because of the number of messages in the Console I will have to wait until the next time I lose connectivity and then check for messages in Console to see if there are any clues to what is going on. 

  • Why do I keep losing connection to my MIFI4510L

    Why do I keep losing connection to my MIFI4510L. After a period of time this device disconnects from the internet. What do I have to do to correct this?

    This seems to be a problem in various areas. I'm in Michigan north of Detroit, when they switched from 3G to 4G, reliability and speed dropped significantly. My first service calls were frustrating as the service tech told me I had unused WIFI setups on my PC and I needed to delete them. told him the device works everywhere else, but he was instant I delete the unused, imagine that fixed nothing. I was sent a replacement device (refurbished without a battery or back) which was worthless as it was different form what I have and could not be used, so I sent it back I have emailed the Customer Service VP for the region and after months of not getting the issue resolved I was told 4G service was in the process of being updated in my area and not to expect it to improve until sometime in 2013. Since the device detects 3G and 4G, it switches to 4G and connection often drops to 1 mbps and cannot even get a Google page. Under 3G, it was pretty consistent at 68 to 72 mbps. My options are to replace my 3G/4G device with a 3G only or change to a different service provider. I have a cottage basically on the fringe area and 3G connects at 68-72 99% of the time and outside of Boston, Washington north of Seattle (almost Canada), Texas, Chicago, etc, 4G works great, so it is not the device. Guess I'm not sure the push to 4G if they are not ready. Guess once the sale is complete they have you and if service is bad, oh well. The sad part, my current cell phone contacts are ending and I was seriously planning on leaving ATT to switch everything to Verizon based on service prior to the switch to 4G, but that does not make any sense now. My Apple 4G can be a hot spot and works great when I' m at home, but why pay for 2 different services. The other interesting note, I left Comcast due to poor service (internet was slow from 6am to 10pm or dropped completely) and now Verizon has teamed up with them... sure hope they are not the cause of poor internet service... like maybe Verizon is using them for internet service... I was told no... but problems started around the same time of the announcement. So based on responses from Verizon, I will check my other options. The commercials are great but reality is delivery, no so great.

    hmm, well I would say that raises the possibility of an issue with your ipad, and lessens one with your router.
