Can't connect FaceTime with iPad 2.

On new ipad 3 I didn't change my DNS I added the 8.8.8.8 after the wifi DNS with coma between.

x.x.x.x., 8.8.8.8

working ok so far.....thanks for the tip

I have tried the new settings which work for a couple of minutes but then I lose my connection. Any other ideas?

After changing the dns to 8,8,8,8 still not working

But after i set the Setting / General / Date & Time / Set Autoamtically to ON

The facetime now able to login and work perfectly

Yep Date Time - Set Automaticalyy fixed mine!!

By Golly it worked!!!! Thank you for your help! I changed my DNS setting to 8.8.8.8! I was having the same issue with my Facetime too! So cool was able to use Facetime for the first time! 😀

Adding it as a DNS to my Airport Express settings worked too. Didnt have to edit every device.

Adding 8.8.8.8 to DNS and enabling automatic time zone didn't fix it for me
Its a MacBook Pro with 10.6.8

FaceTime used to work fine untill a few months ago.

There are many posts around on this issue and it's still a problem for a lot of users.

It is a problem today (and there are MANY posts on it) because Apple is having server issues and hope to have them resolved in 24 hours. Nothing you do will fix it.

changing the date/time back to Auto finally worked for me!! We changed this to play a game & it didn't get changed back!

even changing DNS and Date / Time, still not working the FT on the same network with the same Apple ID. : (

anyone have any other tips?

Thank you.

The 8.8.8.8 didn't work for me. Neither did the date and time auto=on. I went through the Facetime trouble shooting guide and nothing has worked. It simply indicates a network problem, yet my network is fine and all other aspects operate fine.

This is an iPad2 and Facetime was originally working - I had made a number of calls and it was all good. Then suddenly the other day I went to make a call and realised it wasn't signed in, and when I tried to sign in it refused and complained about a network problem.

I also tried 8.8.4.4

I also rebooted my iPad

I also tried waiting for a couple of hours

I also tried restarting my router

I tried logging in Facetime from the Configuration entry and from the App login

I also tried looking for updates, but there are none

Skype still works (thank God for Microsoft)

Has Apple shutdown Facetime and not told anybody????

Try rebooting!

As above - rebooted, multiple times

Also tried reseting the network settings

Also tried 'Forget this network' and set it up again

Also tried adjusting the screen brightness (this was another tip for solving this problem, clearly I'm getting desparate)

I also found Facetime IS working on my MBP, but still not on the iPad - both are wireless so I'm hoping it's not the wireless router.

Any other suggestions...

Try going to another wifi, then back to yours....

Same problems as Murray205...

I can FT on my iPhone 5 while I'm at work via WIFI, but it won't connect on my iPad (verified WIFI is working). Tried rebooting, date/time fix, DNS, etc. Nadda...

When attempting to connect I noticed it's not even ringing, which I usually hear.
