Can't connect FaceTime with iPad 2.

Worked for me. Thanks a lot!!!

I have 2 ipad's [both 4th generation]. 1 is wifi only and 1 has a cellular connection through Verizon. I have had nothing BUT TROUBLE tryin to utilize Facetime between these 2 ipads. When both ipads are set to wifi, I have no problem, when i turn off the wifi and only use cellular I cannot not achieve connectivity. They find each other, but will NOT connect. This was working prior to ios7 update. Apple engineering has been unwilling to return my calls.

if anyone has an iphone or a cellular ipad and a second ipad or iphone, I invite you to try this:

1. Make sure you have a good wifi connection and a good cellular connection.

2. On the cellular ipad and or iphone #1 - TURN OFF "Wifi" [Use cellular data only]

3. On the wifi ipad or iphone #2 [Turn cellular off on this iphone - use only wifi]

4. Now try and facetime between these 2 devices. Let me know if you succeed.

Be sure your iPads each have a unique E-Mail address. I assume they have the same Apple ID, so you would need to register the second address with that Apple ID.

Setting date and time to "set automatically" did the trick for me!

Thanks!

Try setting your date & time settings to "Set Automatically"...It worked for me...Good luck...

I already was using the 8.8.8.8 address, so I knew it could not be that. And the date and time were correct. And the iPad had worked until recently. Once I updated everything worked again. Except for the microphone. But that's another discussion.
