Hi all

[Tim SPRACKLEN]

FaceTime is pre installed in iPad 2? Is this the Same app that is used for accessing Facebook.

FaceTime is not pre-installed in some countries due to government restrictions. It has nothing to do with Facebook. There is currently no Facebook app specifically for the iPad.

Oh I got it all wrong. Looks like FaceTime is not available in original iPad.

It would be a bit pointless........no camera!

It's available for the Mac and the iPad.

Apple (India) - iPad - The amazing iPad apps, built right in.

How do I download it? Please tell me steps to follow, if possible.

There is a long discussion of how to do it in this thread...

So why don't you like the solution posted in that thread? It seemed straightforward to me.

My ipad2 does not have the face time built in app...

Is there a way how I can get it installed?????

Waiting for a solution.....

I've answered this in your other post

Tim

Yes you did!

So why don't you like the solution posted in that thread? It seemed straightforward to me.

Tim

I don't think that any solution anyone offered would help the OP.

But DUMI suggested a really simple solution, restore your iPad when you're outside the UAE.

"So there is a workaround.

When the iPad is restored from outside the UAE, it installs FaceTime, even when going back into the UAE will FaceTime stay connected.

So what needs to be done is the following:

-go to apple.com/uk and setup an account, just use any random address and pick No payment method.
- in iTunes, select Store->Deauthorize this computer and remove your UAE account

The next part wouldn't need to be done if the OP is outside the UAE.

Now we need to fool iTunes into thinking you are outside UAE
- download a VPN software. hotspotshield.com works fine and is what I use often
-install it, then run and click connect
-when the icon turns green, go back to iTunes, connect the iPad and hit restore/upgrade.

When the iPad is restored, it should have FaceTime.
So finally, reactivate your UAE apple ID via Store->Authorize this computer.

The part of removing the UAE account may not be necessary, I just included it to be safe."
