Why won't my facetime connect completely. Says "call failed"
My facetime was working just fine two days ago. But now on my iPhone 4s, it will make the call, go through to connecting and then say the call has failed. I have tried logging out and re logging in to facetime for both parties and it's still not workin.
Hi onelifedani,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I recommend going through the troubleshooting steps in this article if your FaceTime calls are not connecting:

Why won't my FaceTime connect with others?
Ok, so sometimes apple's servers may crash, temporarily. Just check the following site: http://www.apple.com/uk/support/systemstatus/
and it will notify you of any crashes. The link above is for the UK. Change to adapt to your country if you are outside of the UK. If your problem isn't listed I am sure it will be resolved within 24 hours. If this problem persists best thing is to contact apple.
Hope this helped :) -
Why won't my FaceTime connect? It keeps saying connection failed when trying to sign in.
Why won't my FaceTime work? I just got this iPad new was able to FaceTime once. The next time I tried to FaceTime it said phone number incomplete. So I signed out of FaceTime and now it won't sign back in. It keeps saying connection failed check connection. I am showing I'm connected to the wireless router. What could be the issue?

Why won't my FaceTime connect? It keeps saying 'failed' :( I have the latest upgrade
I have the latest updates on my iPad Air but FaceTime will not connect, it acknowledges a call but always fails the connection. I'm sad to say I'm terribly useless at technology so have no idea how to solve this!
Make sure both parties are running IOS 7.1.1

Why won't my TV connect to my Mac Book Pro via HDMI thunderbolt after an upgrade to OS X Yosemite version 10.10.1?
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Or you can use your Apple ID to register with this site and go the Apple BugReporter. Supposedly you will get an answer if you submit feedback.

Mail won't send but Connection Doctor says smtp account OK.
Mail won't send but Connection Doctor says smtp account OK.
I can receive mail but can't send it from Mail 3.5. Same problem on a wired G5 and on a wi-fi MacBook (using the same account), so not hardware related. Worked fine 'till today - I didn't change anything in between times. Incoming mail no problem. Tried mail rebuild, keychain first aid, deleting the account, repair disk permission - doesn't help.
Mail's connection doctor says "smpt.xxxxxx - connection to server succeeded, no login required."
Anybody any ideas? Thanks, NBeen having the same problem for a few weeks now. This has been working just fine, and all of a sudden - nothing. The update to 10.5.6 didn't do anything to fix this either.
I've spent numerous hours on the phone with the Apple support. Seeing as the two other accounts that I have configured work with no problem, they say that this is a problem with the provider which is also the ISP. I then called the support line for the ISP and informed them of this and they say that it's a problem with the software.
Interestingly, if I send a message to somone with the same ISP, the message will go. But I can't send a message outside of the provider. Does anyone else have this problem?
Also, from another forum, they suggested rebuilding the LaunchServices database. The Apple support didn't see what that would do. But I tried it anyway and the problem still exists.
Another intesting thing is certificates. It's only happened twice, but I've received the message saying that Mail can't verify the certificate XXXXX which validates the identity of the smtp. Anyone else get this? I thought perhaps I could delete the certificate and it would magically reappear. But when I go into KeyChain, the certificate is listed only under System Root and I can't delete it.

My FaceTime will make the call but will not connect and will sometimes say call failed. What do i do?
don't update to iOS7 just yet if you prefer 6. Many are saying that's the cure, but there are lots of iOS7 users here who can't make Facetime work either.
It would seem Apple has either a big problem on their hands, as this is now a week old, or they don't know how to fix it. Either way, email Apple tech support your concerns -

My FaceTime isn't working properly. Every call I make a black dot appears on the camera in the middle (fixed onto the screen, and is not dirt), and the calls always fail. It would ring 6 times and then say call failed. How can I fix this?
If FaceTime ever worked properly for you, restarting your modem (and separate router/wireless if you have such) may help. If the problem continues, try connecting at a different location to see if the problem is within your wi-fi.
The black dot problem may mean you need to reset your iPod. If that does not help, it may need service by an Apple Authorized Service Provider.
If you need help with any of these suggestions, detailed help on each topic is available via Apple's Support pages:

FaceTime will not connect, keep getting Call Failed
Since middle of last week have not been able to make calls with FaceTime keep getting message saying connecting, then get "Call Failed'
I had the same issue. FT worked fine on my iPhone, iPad, and one of our iMacs, but not our newest iMac.
After searching all over, I stumbled on the solution.
Here is the snip that worked for me...
Click the Finder icon in the Dock.
Choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
Type: /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Click Go.
In the Finder window, locate the file named "NetworkInterfaces.plist" and drag this file to the Trash.
Restart your computer.

Good luck! -
Why after 4 hours does my iphone 5 say called failed?
Everytime i am on my phone for about 4 hours, it just ends my call and says call failed. Why is that? Is there anyway i can fix this?
The "call failed" message means that your iPhone lost communications to the cell tower network. There are many possible causes for this. It could be that your battery is getting too low to keep the connection alive. It could be that the radio is overheating from being on for such a long period and it is failing to work within specs. It could be that your ell provider has something set in their towers thinking that it is an error when a call lasts that long, and they "fail" the call to prevent tieing up resources on dropped calls that didn't disconnect on your end. We would need more details to try to narrow down the probelms for you.
A number of years ago I was on a 2 hour cell call for work support overnight. About 45 min-an hour into the call my cell gave me a low battery indicator so I connected the AC power and contiued the call. At about 2 hours in, the phone got too hot and it just turned itself off dropping the call in the middle. At that time, it was a phone issue, but cell phones weren't designed to be used for 2+ hour calls then, so I don;t know of any cell phone that would have done better.
To be honest, I'm not sure why you are using an iPhone for 4 hour long calls now. There are so many better options. -
Download of the new 4.0 won't install. It keeps saying Extraction Failed Can not open output file.
Oh? That's "reset youtr laptop"?
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. -
Why won't my Razr Maxx ring when called from my home phone or the other cell phone (I-phone) on my Verizon account?
Hi Ruth:
Thanks for reaching out to me about this issue.
This has been happening since I got the phone a couple of years ago.
I did not realize that my home land line and my wife's cell phone
always go straight to voice mail until my wife pointed it out to me
several months ago. Is there a setting I can adjust?
Yes, I can make calls to our home land line and to her cell phone
without being diverted to voice mail.
Any advice you might have would be most welcome.
Thanks.
