Pthe date of the function is April 16 FaceTime has become inactive for iDevices which did not have iOS 7.0.4 or iOS 6.1.6 installed and a Macof those that do not run OS X Mavericks 10.9.2. Although Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), he avoided providing information about the problem, so during this day he published one supporting document on its website, announcing its running users iOS 7.0.3 or lower, or iOS 6.1.x, or OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 or lower, depending FaceTime became unavailable for them.
If you started to have issues making or receiving FaceTime calls after April 16, 2014, your device or your friend's device may have encountered a bug resulting from a device certificate that expired on that date. Updating both devices to the latest software will resolve this issue. If you're using iOS 7.0.4 or later or iOS 6.1.6, this issue doesn't affect you. If you're using these versions of OS X or FaceTime for Mac, this issue doesn't affect you:
- OS X Mavericks v10.9.2 or later
- OS X Mountain Lion v10.8 with the latest security updates
- OS X Lion v10.7 with the latest security updates
- FaceTime for Mac version 1.0.5 or later for Mac OS X v10.6
The whole problem is based on an expired certificate in iOS that allowed the use of FaceTime on old versions of the operating system, or at least this is the explanation provided by Apple. Now the company forces everyone who still uses iOS 6 or old versions of OS X to update to the latest version of the operating system, except for those who can install iOS 6.1.6 or the FaceTime application in OS X 10.6. Unfortunately only iPhone 3GS si iPod Touch 4G I can still install iOS 6.1.6, and older versions of OS X are only available for Macs released in 2010 or earlier.
The rest of the iDevices that are not iPhone 3GS or iPod Touch 4G must install the latest version of iOS 7 to be able to use FaceTime. In conclusion, if you are wondering why FaceTime does not work on iPhone, iPad or Mac, the answer is above.
