   iOS 7.0.4 and iOS 6.1.5 Fix FaceTime Calls

   Josh Centers

   Apple has released [1]iOS 7.0.4 to fix an issue that caused FaceTime
   calls to fail for some users, as well as the usual, unspecified, 'bug
   fixes and improvements.' On the [2]security side, Apple also beefed up
   the enforcement of purchase authorization, since it was possible for a
   signed-in user to complete a transaction without providing a password
   when prompted. You can download the 17 MB update in Settings > General
   > Software Update.

   Interestingly, Apple has also updated iOS 6, which you can no longer
   install (see '[4]Lion and Mountain Lion Still Available, Unlike iOS 6,'
   25 October 2013), to [5]iOS 6.1.5 to address FaceTime issues. However,
   iOS 6.1.5 is specific to the fourth-generation iPod touch ' no other
   iOS 6 devices will be offered the update.
