Good news for owners of Mac: Apple has released an update for facetime that fixes for FaceTime connection problems encountered on OS X older. Even though everything is still on the front iOS 6.
Many things to do Update for FaceTime he ran into a serious bug and iOS devices should definitely be updated to work properly with the video conferencing app from Apple. A statement in the knowledge base is recommended for users with iOS devices capable of having 7 to upgrade to iOS 7.0.4 or a later version. Other devices, like the iPod touch 4th generation or iPhone 3GS, they must be updated to iOS 6.1.6.
What is positive is that the cause of the problem seems to have been identified. As of April 16, 2014, many users who have not upgraded to iOS 7 are no longer able to forward or receive FaceTime calls with your iPhone and iPad. The bug comes from a certificate that expired on that date. There is no way to go back: upgrade to the latest version of the operating system is the only solution to solve the problem.
This solution can surely be unpopular because there is always a large contingent of users who did not want to upgrade to iOS 7, although in possession of a device of the latest generation. The Changes in the design of the new operating system does not have convinced everyone, although it must be said that 87% of user’s who access to the App Store has gone to iOS 7.
For users with Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard : Update for FaceTime
However, the problem can be fixed by downloading the version of Face Time for OS X released by Apple. The computers that use Mac OS X 10.9.2 or later Mavericks should instead have problems, as well as with Lion and Mountain Lion, provided you have downloaded all the security updates.
For a long time, many Apple users are experiencing problem with Face Time, under both Mac and iOS. To remedy this situation, Apple has just released an update for FaceTime on OS X that solves the problem of connecting your application. This update is recommended for all users with OS X 10.6, resolving in fact impossible to forward or receive update for FaceTime calls with Snow Leopard.
The update 1.0.5 is available for download on the Mac App Store and should also resolve connection problems for newer versions of OS X, that is for Lion and Mountain Lion , systems for which some users have reported difficulties in dedicated forums.
Anyway, Apple has not yet solved the
Apple wrote that the form of workaround is to upgrade to the latest version of the operating system, ie 7 or iOS Mavericks. This option is not yet available for all users and not all users are going to change version of iOS. In this case, all that remains is to wait for a solution, or try one of the many free alternatives to Face Time.
Users still to iOS 6 if they will be realized. A few days ago those who have not upgraded to iOS 7 on their iPhone and iPad are no longer able to forward or receive FaceTime calls. It is a phenomenon that in drafting had begun to observe literally many months ago, but the topic did not exist practically nothing specific on the Web until now.
The conditions have not changed. The router in the newsroom, free bases Airport Extreme and their configurations are almost identical for years; and yet, Apple devices that for our choice were not updated to the latest version of the OS no longer able to make a video call FaceTime for a long time. Or rather, start ringing when called, but then fail to initialize the audio stream videos. Nothing to report instead to the other: the trinkets natively on iOS 7 or updated manually, go smoothly.
Time to Update For FaceTime
On the Apple Support Site is created spontaneously by a thread that now has just 18 replicas spread on a couple of pages, and a total of 1,110 views; but similar discussions have sprung up like mushrooms here and there on the web , especially (since they already had a day) on the community site Apple-centric U.S. type MacRumors .
According to what we read on the forums, some recorded several successes with iOS 6.1.6 but not with iOS 6.0.1, while others are reporting problems even on Mac OS X 10.8 were to Mountain Lion. The phenomenon, however, is mysterious. The system status page of Cupertino does not report any malfunction in fact neither the present nor the past and even sessions of ordinary / extraordinary maintenance.
The most worrying aspect of the story is that the phone contacted Apple for service, the answer you receive is always the same: cut the Gordian knot and updated to iOS 7. Who does not want to, or cannot, is not even calculated. If you too are caught by this kind of problems, our advice is to wait: who knows what the situation will not unlock itself within a few hours. In any case, it would be interesting to compile some statistics on the matter between us; any of you have experienced similar experience? And if so, since when? Tell us everything in the comments .
