Strangeness of FaceTime

I have a strange problem with FaceTime. When I select the contact of my wife from the Contacts application on my MacBookPro, then click on FaceTime. She called my iPhone. However, if I open the FaceTime app and find his contacts, he calls his phone. I restarted the two devices. My MBP is 11.11.3 running and my iPhone 6 s running 9.2. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

  • iMessage/Facetime activation on iOS 10 bug

    Hello

    The bug appeared after the first intentional reboot after iOS 10 updated, my iPhone 5 has been disconnected for a few hours. When it started I started to receive petitions of iM/FT on reboot or a random time after even if iM/FT completely!

    I did not move my SIM card. If I refuse to activate iM I can't see my phone number in the Contacts section.

    The same bug persists on the iPhone of my 5s wife while his phone has never been disconnected except 10.0.2 update.

    Hi Valsh,

    Here is how to fix iMessage / FaceTime activation do not question.

    Before you begin, you'll need sort these things:

    • Make sure that in the phone application, you got your registered number. On top of "Contacts", you should see your registered number (My Number :). If not, you will need to go to settings → → my phone number and enter your number.
    • Make sure that the Date and time (in general) are correct. Set to "Set automatically" to ensure that the time zone is correct and the iPhone is at the right time.
    • Also make sure you have a working network. Problems of Wi - fi can cause iMessage activation problems therefore have active cell.
      For some users, the message for activation goes out as an international SMS. Make sure that your carrier allows these and you have a sufficient amount to send them.


    1. contact your operator

    First of all, make sure that your carrier supports iMessage or not. Contact the support team of carrier and check any condition limiting on your iMessage, blocks or text filters.

    2. airplane mode

    As strange as it sounds, maybe you should try this method if nothing else works. We found the airplane mode activation mode in one of the discussions. It sounds simple, and if it is correct, it would be nice, right?

    Here's how it works:

    Step #1. Get off at scroll → settings touch Messages and turn offiMessage (also turn off FaceTime)

    Step #2. Turn on airplane mode. WiFi will be disabled automatically.

    Step #3: Turn ON Wifi.

    Step #4. Return to Messages and ignition iMessage.

    Step #5. You will be prompted for your Apple ID if you have not yet added it. (otherwise, you get no notification)

    Step #6. Now, go back to the settings and disable airplane mode.

    Step #7. For the most part, you will see a notification that says "your carrier may charge for SMS" - press OK

    Step #8. If this is not the case, go to Messages, disable iMessage and then turn on again.

    Step #9. In a few moments, iMessage should be enabled.

    Step #10. You will see a greyed number and e-mail ID. A little later, the number should be checked, and that's all.


    3 Apple ID disconnect, connect

    Sometimes, you just need to logout of your identifier Apple and then sign in again.

    Step #1. Under Settings → Message, scroll up to where it says 'Send and receive'and tap on it.

    Step #2. Type on the Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.

    Step #3. Now turn off iMessage.

    Step #4. Wait for a while (toggle Wifi) and then turn on the iMessage.

    Step #5. Enter the details of your Apple ID now and try to reactivate iMessage

    4. set or restore

    If things do not work, you must first reset the settings of your location, then the iPhone. Reset is just a force so restart your data stays secure. After the reset, you will just connect with your Apple and implementing iMessage like new.

    If this fails, you may need to restore the iPhone as new or from a backup.

    Hope this helps,

    See you soon.

  • EMail address added to < < my device name > > < < my device name > > now using < < my mailadress (identical to the Apple ID) > > for FaceTime and IMessage.

    My iPod touch get now and then next alert message due to change on my iPhone.

    EMail address added to < < my device name > > < < my device name > > now using < < my mailadress (identical to the Apple ID) > > for FaceTime and iMessage.

    Why I get this message? iPhone is disabled due to my work offshore for two weeks, but the use of the iPod touch is allowed.

    What is my apple ID used on other devices with the same name as my iPhone?

    I would be happy if anyone has an explanation of why I feel this strange behavior.

    When you connect to FaceTime or Messages on another device, another peripheral other device using this same ID will get the message that has been signed to. Some iOS (and OSX) update log for other devices will get the message when that happens.

    You said "by reason of change on my iPhone"

    What has changed on the iPhone?

  • Problem connecting FaceTime.

    So, I used FaceTime last night without problem on my iPad 2 and then allow it to charge overnight.  Today I tried to use the face time and found it is disconnected, I entered my id and password, but now get a verified need message address email.  I know that my connection is correct as I used to connect to the apple Web site where it shows everything correctly implemented.  Strange thing is the face time works well on my iPhone 5 s, when I tried to enter my ID and password on the settings page on the iPad, I even got a pop-up message telling me that I had signed on another device, but still the iPad won't work. Both devices iOS 9.3.1

    Any ideas greatly appreciated.

    Brian

    Well I have seem to have solved by following the path.

    Tried to connect

    When the verification message came, I pressed cancel.

    I then tried to log in again, and he did.

    Hours of rest bother because of what appears to be another update bug ridden.

  • Wrong person on facetime

    When I call my wife on facetime (on his Apple ID, iPhone 5 iOS 7. XX), there is another person who answered my call, that I don't even know.

    I called 3 times my wife between yesterday and today, and the same guy responded twice.

    It's really strange... How is that possible? She has changed her phone once, is it possible that the supplier he sold a second time and the person how bought it can receive calls Facetime?

    Thank you very much for your answers.

    Vivien

    I really hope someone can help with this. I can't my father FaceTime because someone else answered each time, or they remind me.

  • Using Facetime on iPad, but you have an Android phone

    I searched the forums from near and far and cannot find an answer to this... Sorry if it's a common and I'm bad looking.

    I have used to have an iPhone, but had to switch to an Android.  However I still have my iPad (Wifi + laptop) which I would still like to be able to Facetime with my family.  When you migrate from iPhone to Android phone I had to turn off iMessage and Facetime on my iPhone and my iPad so that I can separate my number with iMessage and continue to use texting on my Android.

    Even though I have an Android phone, can I still use Facetime on my iPad?  Turning on Facetime again my settings will mess with my ability to send SMS messages?  I only ask because I thought that it was strange that I had to turn off Facetime as part of the process to separate my Apple number.

    Thank you.

    Yes, you can still use FaceTime on your iPad. You will be activate FaceTime with your Apple ID, not a mobile phone number. There should be no impact on your ability to text with your Android phone.

    FaceTime is forbidden by the law in Saudi Arabia and the UNITED Arab Emirates and is removed from iPhones sold in other countries of the Middle East, if they are used outside the country where they were originally sold. If you plan to use an iPhone outside the Middle East, then don't buy it in the Middle East. The one you bought there FaceTime was illegally imported from another region and sold it.

  • How to use FaceTime with Siri

    I you would Siri have been able to dial phone numbers using FaceTime, so my question is, is it possible? And if so, how?

    Hey MichaelnAvallone,

    Thank you for reaching out to help through Apple Support communities. Looks like you are wanting to make calls FaceTime with Siri. If so, I'd be happy to explain how to make this happen. First, you'll want to press on and hold the Home button or say "Hey Siri" to activate Siri. Then, for example, you can simply say, "make an audio call FaceTime to MOM" and Siri will only start a FaceTime call audio. If you say 'FaceTime Mom' Siri will begin a FaceTime call with video of this contact.

    The link below shows the ways to learn how to use Siri.

    Use Siri on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

    Kind regards.

  • screen saver turns on when using FaceTime

    Since the update to MAC OS Sierra, I noticed that my screensaver activates when using FaceTime - most annoying because I have to quickly move the mouse to put it all again.

    He didn't get it until I've updated from El capitan, so I guess it's something to do with MacOS Sierra.

    He's not doing it with Youtube but I'm still trying with Skype.

    Screen saver works as it should do it with an ordinary application (for example, safari, etc.) Pages) if I don't move the mouse or keyboard for the specified time (five minutes).

    I do not have hot set of corners, the display is set on turn off (energy prefs is system) after 10 minutes. Screen saver is five minutes of inactivity.

    I have an iMac 27 "retina, first generation (a little less than two years) with i5 and 16 gig memory, standard graphics M290X.

    I missed easy adjustment here?

    I have it, feel also my parents as well.

  • How to activate facetime for the Arab Emirates UNITED

    I brought the Iphone 6s in Dubai

    I want to get Facetime

    Help, please

    If the iPhone is a native of the United Arab Emirates and you have already put your operator's SIM card (this will only works in a few countries and all those who are in the Middle East), you cannot get it. iPhones that fall into this category have AB, AE or possibly AH just before the slash in their model numbers.

    If it came from another region, check the restrictions of the device.

    Hello

    Safe Mode boot removes the system caches that can help after an update or upgrade.

    Follow these steps to start in safe mode.

    1. Start or restart your Mac.
    2. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
    3. Release the SHIFT key when you see the logo Apple appears on the screen.

    After the Apple logo appears, this may take longer than usual to reach the login screen or your office. This is because your Mac performs a check of directory of your drive to boot in safe mode.

    To leave safe mode, restart your computer without pressing any keys during startup.

    Then try FaceTime.

  • Why a strange alphabet does not appear when I type in an address box. Integration is slow and hesitant and numbers and letters are often repeated on their own?

    I use the new Sierra, but the problem predates this.

    Whenever I am typing a command or an address, a strange alphabet appears with blue letters and numbers below. The stalls, insertion and numbers and letters and then repeat on their own. I can't get out.

    This problem comes and goes, no real reason for when it happens.

    It happens when I type in the Web addresses, etc., and when I type the commands of the operating system.

    Can you give more information on mac hardware.

    You can download and run the latest version 3.0.5 of Etrecheck (etrecheck.com)

  • Unable to connect on the Messages or FaceTime after upgrading to Sierra

    Good afternoon! After upgrading my MacBook Pro (13-inch, mid 2010) to macOS Sierra (10.12.), I am unable to connect to Messages or FaceTime. They worked fine before the upgrade.

Please check your network connection and try again. "or"an error has occurred during authentication. "My network is connected to the network (where this message), and the password is correct. Also, I have generated a password app specific to Messages. Enter just grew the message "your Apple ID or the password is incorrect." Messages is works well with my Google Talk and AIM accounts.
    • FaceTime: After entering my Apple ID and password, the engine just turns and it never connects me. Similarly, I have generated a password app specific but use it just gets the message, "your Apple ID or the password is incorrect."

    No idea how I can regain access to these applications? Thank you!
