Why there's no facetime on my ipad 4 ?

Why there's no face time on my ipad 4 ?

If you bought your iPad in certain middle eastern countries (UAE etc) then facetime is prohibited by their laws and no device sold there can have facetime on it.
If you bought it elsewhere facetime can be turned off in the restrictions, so you may want to look there.

TS4268 Why there's no FaceTime icon on my iPad air

Why there's no FaceTime icon on my iPad air?

If you are looking for the free downloads of those apps that was being offered with the purchase of a new iOS device after September 2013, I assume that the promotion is world wide and if it is, as long as you are using the same Apple ID in the App Store that you used to activate the device, you will be able to download them for free. If they don't show up as free right away, give it some time and they should eventually be free to you.
When I bought my iPhone 5S, they appeared as free to me the next day after the phone was setup and activated.

Why I dont have facetime to my ipad mini

Why I dont have facetime to my ipad mini

Facetime is banned in certain middle eastern countries. Devices purchased in those countries cannot have Facetime installed on them by Government Regulation.
While the device may have been purchased in Kuwait its possible it was destined for sale in another country where facetime is banned.

Why there is no FaceTime in my 4s?

I bought new iPhone 4s in AppStore. Price, delivery - everithing is good and my phone was delivered extremely quickly.
But I found out, that there is no FaceTime installed.
Now I live in UAE and I heard that this feature is prohibited allegedly.
But. Why I did not receive any warnings or notifications about it before the purchasing?
I think Apple must do it.
So, hoe can I activate FaceTime in my iPhone? I suspect it is de-activated in software version in phones for UAE?
Or it is a hardware issue?
I'm going to go back in Russia after few month and I need this feature.
Please, help to activate it.
Thank you!

If FaceTime was that critical when purchasing your iPhone surely it's reasonable to expect that YOU ask at the point of sale or do your research beforehand. Apple cannot anticipate the specific needs/wants of an individual who purchase their iPhones, therefore they attempt to manage people's expectation by placing information of their web site. You cannot hold Apple responsible for your lack of research. Your argument should be with the UAE Government and not Apple as it is at the express wish of the UAE Government that FaceTime has been removed, as previously stated by others in this post.

Why there is no lyrics on the iPad with ios 5.0.1?

I want to know why there is no lyrics in iPod app on iPad 2 with iOS 5.0.1 . Help me, I want lyrics ! :)

Guillaume, I have spoken with AppleCare several times about this. None of the five tech people I've discussed this with had ever heard of the issue before and assumed it was a problem I was having with my device, but when I told them to google "iPad no lyrics" they did see the discussions on the topic. I also had to keep stressing with everyone I talked to that the lyrics were still present on iPods and iPhones with the same upgrade, but no iPads displayed them now.
The last person I spoke with (yesterday) connected me with a senior advisor named Matt who did some research. When he checked he saw that it had definitely been reported numerous times; the engineers are aware of the issue because there are escalated tickets concerning it, but there is no official response yet. He said that Apple typically doesn't take features away - it adds them - so it was probably an error which will be fixed in a subsequent upgrade.

There is no facetime in my iPhone, why? and how to get it?

there is no facetime in my iPhone 5, why? and how to get it?

Enable FaceTime in the settings, and when you save a contact in your iPhone, you click the contact and you get options. The options are sms, video call, facetime or GSM call. There is no specific FaceTime application in iPhones, this is the only way you can FaceTime unlike iPod's iPads and Macs. Hope it helps

TS4185 Just downloaded FACETIME on my 4yr. olf Imac running Snow Leopard. When making a call to my friend's Imac all works correctly going both ways. When my wife calls me via Facetime from her Ipad, I cannot click on "accept"- not there?

Just downloaded FACETIME on my 4yr. olf Imac running Snow Leopard. When making a call to my friend's Imac all works correctly going both ways. When my wife calls me via Facetime from her Ipad, I cannot click on "accept"- not there? When called by the Imac (newest), the "accept" or "reject" radio button appears for me to click and connect. On my wife's Ipad the two radio buttons always appear when a call actiivates Facetime and comes on?
There is nothing I can find in "Preferences" in Facetime to turn that on or off. I suspect it has to do with having a more current operating system; that the "controls" are in the operating system? [I'm guessing] It's frustrating getting Facebook calls from several friends on Ipads! Any ideas...VFP

I suspect it has to do with not having a more current operating system
Exactly, what Apple is doing is leveraging new features only on newer OS X versions to force you to upgrade OS X to 10.7 or later.
What they don't tell you is 10.7 or later will NOT run your PowerPC based software, some of it you can't get Intel versions like for perfectly working printers, scanners and games etc. So it can be a very expensive OS X upgrade to 10.7 or later with third party software.
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also they don't tell you is the risk in bricking your machine if the update goes badly, so you have to have AppleCare in case that occurs so it's on them to fix it. Else your paying money to replace the logicboard or buying a new machine prematurely.
A four year old machine can't have AppleCare, it's only good for 3 years from date of purchase new.
Your machine came with a boot hard drive, it's usually got about 4-5 years of life on it, then it needs to be replaced.
Also they don't tell you the newer OS X version has more abilities and features that causes your machine to slow down in performance, especially on older machines.
Also they implement new, idotic and extremely fustrating new user interface features in a arbitrary "you take it or leave it" manner with little or no fall back method.
So upgrading OS X is a gamble on older machines that otherwise would likely work perfectly fine for the next 5 years if one didn't need to have to mess with it.
Since Snow Leopard has slightly over 25% OS X version market share, your still good for security updates etc for the next few years if you just want to stay where your at and be happy.
OS X 10.4/10.5 need to upgrade, 10.6.8 ok still
The Lions are, well, not so welcome due to Scott Forstall retard UI issues, OS X Mavericks 10.9 is likely going to fix things a bit better.
But basically what is occuring is Apple is trying to force a faster hardware upgrade cycle with the more expensive products by leveraging features on the smaller devices that expire sooner.
Apple is a hardware company that leverages whatever it can to get you to buy more hardware, it's why they are as rich as they are.

Why does the iPhone 4 need to send an SMS to activate FaceTime when the iPad 2 doesn't?

Hi there.
I keep wondering why iPhone 4 need to send a international SMS to activate FaceTime when the iPad 2 doesn't?
It cost's 2,50 dkr ($0.48) every time it does that.
I have a mobile subscription where i get 5 hours talk time, Free SMS, Free MMS, Free talk to all with same subscription and 5GB data for 129 dkr/month ($24.77).
But the internation SMS is not free.
And it really bugs me that my danish iPhone has to send an SMS to England to acticate FaceTime that i only can use on WiFi.
I also have a iPad 2 (WiFi model), and it can activate FaceTime fine via WiFi. So why can't the iPhone 4 do that?
I really really need a good explanation to why i have to pay to activate FaceTime.
Why can't you make local numbers to send the SMS too, or do it via WiFi just like the iPad 2.
The strangest this is that you have to be on WiFi to use FaceTime, so why use the mobile network to activate FaceTime?

Where are you, what network are you on and where did you get your phone?
The fact that it uses SMS isn't really the issue here and no-one on this forum can answer the "why" question. We are end users, not Apple. The accepted answer is if it's going to tie facetime to your phone number (which it does) then that's the way it's got to work.
The puzzling part is why it would be sending one to England... unless of course, you purchased the phone in the UK and actually live in another region entirely.

Why there's no multitasking gesture in IOS5 for Ipad 1?

Why there's no multitasking gesture in IOS5 for Ipad 1?
Why?
This's discrimination for iPad 1 users!
Why disable it?
I think your strategy will make many of Apple users dispointed!
I hope to add multitasking gesture to next updata or fix !

iOS 5.1.1 will not give the iPad 1 the full suite of multitouch gestures. The hardware won't support those. And you responded to a post that's almost two years old.
Regards.

Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
