I bolded some pieces here that are useful.

Mac owners are mostly fanboys. Apple products, OMG, much awesome. I would be hard pressed to bring up anything Windows on a Mac forum unless I was trolling and trying to get a rise out of them.

I don't think Apple ingrains it, I think it just comes with brand identity, much like BMW owners ragging on Honda owners. BMW is better well...., JUST BECAUSE.

M_Six · 05-02-2014, 01:35 PM

Isn't Facetime an Apple product?

This is what it said when we tried to facetime the other night. I dont know what "facetime answered on other device" even means.

No he doesnt. He only has one iPhone.

I was kidding.

Poor connection? I have no idea. I don't use Facetime. Skype has worked just fine for me, bad connection and all.

skype does have an app... I believe this might be known as a first world solution.

This.

Skype has an app for all platforms. It's also free (data charges may apply if not connected to Wifi).

Or Tango which works well.

Sara are you both ios6 devices, if so there is a bug which was rumored to exist around the middle of the month which I think Apple has still refused to acknowledge. Ran into this issue at work as the company requires on call mgmt to have a company issued iPhone, we were forced to upgrade some did some did not, had mutiple issues connecting all over the globe.

His phone memory storage is full. He cant even upgrade to the newest version because his phone wont let him.

If he would delete some of the 5,000 photos he has on his photo album in his phone it might work

but he wont

He wouldn't be in Sales would he? I half kid had a support call/argument with a regional Sales director today same problem too much on his phone and he can't/won't delete anything, he wanted a second phone same number like that would work. Blamed all the problems on lack of support from the North America IT team, he has yet to see what lack of support really is.
That would be a first world problem for him, for me first world solution just delete his a$$ from the AD problem solved cannot authenticate.

He can't just unload the photos to a computer or cloud storage then delete off the phone?

Its funny you say that because he actually IS a sales manager for a dealership lol.

He wont delete anything. My biggest fear was that I'd go into labor early and he wouldnt be able to get here in time. (Im on the other side of the country until I have our baby) but I wasnt too concerned because we had facetime. Well now that it hasnt been working for two weeks now I'm more stressed out incase he misses it. He told me he was just going to buy another phone as well.
