Why does my FaceTime keep saying it's connecting, then fail?

Good to know im not the only one with this issue, started about a few days ago. Im in California iPhone 4S on ATT.

I always use FaceTime app with my friends and family on Ipad, but recently it has been failing, both when sending and recieving calls. It says connecting, and then it fails. I went to the Apple store recently, and all it needed was an update and it was working great.

Please help me as this service is very essential.

p.s. I have checked for updates, and it is all updated.

So which one is it? You updated it and you said it worked. Then you sounded like you said it doesn't work as of now... I called apple and they said its being worked on and they're aware of the issue.

Nope I'm new.There is a problem in my Ipad for Face time.

I have two friends that are experiencing this problem. I can FaceTime with other people just not the two of them and they have said FaceTime is broken completely for them for the past couple days.

We are also having problems with FaceTime. What's up with Apple?

With all their money, they can't have a simple thing like like FaceTime up and running 24/7

Apple please fix FaceTime I miss my girl!!!

Same here, won't work from my Mac running 10.8.2 to any of the following, two iphone 4S's and one brand new iPad mini. Been a few days now that is won't work. Both when sending and receiving calls. It says connecting, and then it fails. Time to start using Skype again.

Ditto! I can't believe this is happening to so many people! My daughter is away at college in the UK (I'm in NC, USA) and we can't facetime anymore. Started about 5 days ago. She said no one in her study center (over 100 people) are able to facetime. I was looking online to see if I needed to reset my factime and found that I'm not the only one. I think it's more than a few people having issues. Apple needs to get on this!!!!! I'm going out of the country for 2 weeks and I need to be able to factime my family while I am gone. Please Apple Fix this problem!

Same here. My daughter tried repeatedly yesterday to call here to faceTime with her little two year old sister...can't connect. I tried connecting back to her....nothing. Tried thru both the iMac and thru the iPad and iPhone...all mobile devices running ios7. Says "connecting" but it never connects....then times out.

ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS? Apple...how about you?

I am having same issue as well. Hope apple fixes this asap

my problem as well,i turned my FaceTime off couple of days ago and just had it on again today,and when my boyfriend called,it did ring actually,then kept saying connecting then finally? failed! that was weird as this was the first time things like this happened to me. we tried so many times to call each other,i made calls from on both of my devices,my phone and Mac to some of my friends but none of them ever worked. my devices are all up-to-date so there wouldn't have been any problem with the updates. hope that Apple got this problem and could have it fixed asap.

I have had the same problem since last Thursday!! Facetime just stopped working on both devices. I have an iphone5 with iOS 7 and an ipad 2 with iOS 7.1 I have tried turning facetime on/off. This is so frustrating as I can no longer communicate with family in the U.S. Mainland :(

Ditto. It started like the past 48 hours. 1st thought it is my machine. Now looks like it is Apple's. Apple please fix.

Same here. Facetime failing since sunday. Can't talk to my mom.

A bit upset.
