FaceTime stopped working couple of days ago

There is no idea to the cause of the problem. Judging by the number of people with IOS 7.1 reporting problems I doubt that is the cause of the problem.

it would appear that anyone running iOS 6 cannot use Facetime.

that's what it would appear

You can expect whatever you want to expect from Apple, but they do not actively participate here except for a few chosen community specialist that try to direct users to support articles. None of them would ever cop to an issue with an Apple service, if such issues existed. That is what the Apple System Status website is for.

Now before you go thinking that I'm defending. Apple, think again, because I'm not. I totally agree with you, but moaning about it here won't do you any good at all. If you want to leave feedback for Apple, tap on the Contact Us link in the lower right corner of this page.

Once again, I do agree with you. There is an apparent problem with FaceTime and us loyal Apple device users are left to wonder what in the world is going on. Will it be fixed, is it fixable even???

I have the most up to date iOS 7.1.1 and I'm running the latest OS X 10.9.2 on my 3 year old MBP. So far, FaceTime has yet to fail for me, but I haven't tried it on the MBP since updating just now in fact.

couldn't agree less with the opinion of "complaining" here will get you nowhere. I called my PAID AppleCare service twice, and was told "we don't know of any problem, but you can always upgrade or rebuild your system"

What a disrespectful thing to say from a PAID support service.

If people complain, post, exchange, then and ONLY then do corporate conglomerates tune-in.

Also, it stops users from wasting their valuable time trying to fix a problem they were never responsible for.

I've stopped calling Apple now after realizing it wasn't MY ipad, but Apples infrastructure that is faulty.

And if Apple claims they aren't at fault, they are essentially saying to users "convert to iOS7 or parish"

Right?

So read up people, complain, send emails, exchange data, and put pressure where pressure is due.

Do you know why Apple does not officially admit Facetime is not working?

Because they don't want to compensate you for the unfunctional Facetime.

However, it must.

Facetime is not a free software, it is a function of iPad

When we buy an iPad, we buy its function.

If the function is not working, then this is the problem of its product.

It should compensate users, in whatever ways, refund, recall, or extend warranty.

However, since Apple doesn't admit, it don't need to compensate.

I loaded the latest pushed operating system update recently. 7.1.1 since then facetime has stopped working on my iphone 4s Is the update the issue? Can I back it out?

"Facetime is not a free software, it is a function of iPad. When we buy an iPad, we buy its function"

interesting point - I know a few attorneys, I will present this theory to them and see what their thoughts are

Apple is forcing all of us to upgrade. All of your device must have the latest iOS stated in this link in order for it to work.

But I am still holding out. I read a lot of users having other issues after upgrading. Apple might think that I can just cough out $800.
