OS X V10.7 Lion :: Cannot Login To FaceTime Using Apple ID
Jul 4, 2012
I just had a new mac book pro 15 inch A1286. I cannot login on facetime using my apple id. Following the troubleshooting facetime for mac. When I click the face time the preferences not highlighted.
It made me sign in using my apple id as if it were my first time doing using it. I have not changed my apple id user name or password. It will not let me log in or verify my email address.
When I turn on my computer, I am automatically logged-in to Apple mail. I want to be asked to enter my password before new emails appear. How do I stop the auto login feature?
Macbook Pro 13" (2011) Upon startup, displays a grey screen, then after a few seconds, the logon screen, I would logon, then it would show the Apple White boot screen, then it would ask me to log on again (sometimes)
I need to restore the original software on an imac and macbook but it wont let me do this without entering my apple id (app store log in) anyway around this? as I want the macs to appear new to the next user and without any of my info left on them .
My facetime was working fine until recently it asked for a login and this time when I did login with my Apple id, it prompted for email verification. However it is not able to complete the verification and keeps giving the following error message : Could not verify the email address. Please check your network connection and try again.
I have checked the support forums and they all point towards preferences. Problem is that the preferences option for face time is grayed out and I am not able to use them.Â
Info: MacBook Pro (13-inch Early 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.3)
i hv macbook air late 2010 11.6inch and i have been trying to set up my apple id for FaceTime but every time i put in my id and password and sign in it shows my other associated apple id and ask to mark the one that i want to link with FaceTime after doing so it says to verify and when i verify..it take some time about 5-10 seconds and then take me again to the very first page i.e., it asks again for apple id and password and it continues...and also face time preferences is GREYED OUT..

When I first started using my iMac, I started with an e-mail address that I could easily gain access to. Shortly after that, I learned what Facetime was an created an account using a different e-mail address. Is it possible to sync these two accounts? I would like to use one of these accounts for my Macbook.
I have auto login on my profile and disable auto on the security page but still need to login every time I log out or shut down.I have also noticed that the general page of the security and privacy in Syste Prefs is different on my wife Macbook air and my pro....
My sister just bought a refurbished 13" MacBook Pro?The built-in camera is "flickering," but it appears to only be happening in applications made by Apple, or at least ones preinstalled on the computer. The applications affected that I have tested are: iMovie, FaceTime, Photo Booth, and iChat. It's not really a "flicker," per se, but large horizontal chunks of the video will displace and often show up as green -- it all moves very rapidly -- very hard to explain, but it is definitely not normal behavior.Â
iChat takes the issue a step further: the camera preview in iChat Preferences shows nothing but a blank screen. The camera works flawlessly in Skype, and also in web browers thorugh Adobe Flash. So, I am very certain this is not a hardware issue. It also worked perfectly during the setup walkthrough when the computer was first turned on and it had her take a photo for her user account. I've tried resetting application preferences by deleting the preference files, resetting PRAM and SMC, shutting down/restarting the computer, and I've applied all possible Software Updates. System Information (formerly System Profiler) shows the camera under USB, so the computer is recognizing it. Finally, we called Apple and they said to reinstall OS X, which my sister just did. The problem's still there. It wasn't a "clean" install though, because all of her files and preferences were kept in-tact, so maybe that is why.Â
On a Mac Book Air and a Mac Book Pro we have had a sudden problem. The Air came with Lion installed, the Pro just got upgraded to Lion. We got a new login banner that must be displayed. It is about 10 lines long. We put it in, and on reboot it covers the login boxes for user name and password. We can't find any way to dismiss the banner and login. What can we do.Â
I wonder if with regards to accessing FaceTime on multiple devices. We have a number of Mac products (iPad, iPhones and Mac Book Pro) at our house, all connected to one wireless network. Some of these devices can log into FaceTime but others cannot (notably the MacBook pro), using the same Apple ID details. The error message I get is that I should check my network connection. However, the connection is fine, and other devices have no problems with connecting to Facetime.
I'm trying to install Facetime. I'm using Lion, version 10.7.3.......When I try to buy it, an error appears saying that "Facetime can't be installed on "Macintosh HD" because the version of Mac OS X is too new"Â
Info: MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2010), Mac OS X (10.7.3)
I have downloaded osx lion for the face time and it will not work. It says the server encounted an error please try again later. I have tried many times. Also I am looking for a user manual on how to use all the new things the the lion can do.
I am having trouble with my FaceTime on my Mac. Awhile back, I changed my Apple ID's email address and deleted my old one, and now FaceTime won't give me the option to sign in with my new address.
Just installed Lion on my iMac and FaceTime isn't working. It says 'Failed Connection' when I dial one of my contacts, but wifi is on an everything else is working.
I can make a FaceTime call from my iMac (Lion) but I cannot answer a call on it. I can make and answer FaceTime calls to and from my iPhone4 and my iPad. Where I can find an answer as to why FaceTime on my iMac will not answer a call.
I am just getting comfortable using FaceTime with my friends who have computers and phone but I have friends who are not Apple users, I know, I'm working on them. They have Skype accounts for their video talk format. Can I use my FaceTime to call them on their Skype address?
In my Mac App Store it says that OS X Lion isn't installed even though I bought it with Lion. And the same thing with FaceTime. It show the other apps that I've installed as installed. Its only OS X Lion and FaceTime. How can I fix this?
Info: MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4), Everything is updated
how to get Facetime working again in Lion 10.7.40. I installed some AJA LHi video card drivers and now my webcam/Facetime/Skype won't load. The programs either crashes during load or, in the case of Skype, when I try to select the webcam in Preferences. I have uninstalled the AJA drivers but it doesn't change anything. I can create another user on the same system and Facetime works fine. I've tried contact AJA support but have heard nothing back in the last 48 hours. One thing of interest is that PhotoBooth works fine with the Logitech webcam.
