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

I moved my MobileMe account to iCloud and want to set up my Mac so I can call my new iPad with FaceTime. In the iCloud system preferences I have "Mail and Notes" unchecked but the sole email account in Mail preferences is pointed to the iCloud mail server and I am receiving Mail. The account appears in Mail and seems to be functioing normally. If I check the "Mail and Notes" option in the system preferences a second iCloud Mail account appears in Mail with identical contents to the one that is there with this option unchecked. I'd rather not have this duplicate set of mailboxes in Mail so I'm leaving the option unchecked (is this OK?). I added my AOL address as a second email address to my Apple ID so I can use my AIM account with FaceTime and have set FaceTime to receive calls to my AIM address and I have added a contact with my iCloud email address.Â
On my iPad, I have set up FaceTime to receive calls to my iCloud email address and added a contact with my AIM address. This set up works when calling my Mac from my iPad but does not work the other way. How do I get it to work in both directions?Â

find my MacBook Pro retina has crashed during the night... I know have iCould and Facebook login windows popping up alternatively but I am unable to cancel them.  Since I use neither services , I do not wish to enter the passwords yet I can not get rid of the windows... As far as I know its a virus/trojan I'm not familiar enough with mac os x to find out what might be causing this or how to stop these windows from popping up without entering the information

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.

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

I wiped out the hard drive and tried to install Snow Leopard and I got an error message and stopped the install. I started the computer again and went into disk utilities. Tried to do a disk repair and it failed. So I thought maybe I need to verify the disk. I did that and now it is telling me 17 hrs to complete? Should I just stop the verification?

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.

My old 120GB hard drive seemed to be flaky, and I needed the increased capacity, so I upgraded to a 500GB hard drive on my white MacBook. Install was not hard at all, I formatted and partitioned the drive, but I can't seem to install MacOS X (10.5) on it from the DVD's that came with my MacBook. It will boot to the installer DVD, allow me to select the hard drive, and starts the install. However, each time it ends with something along the lines of "Error verifying Essentials package", and advises me to contact the software manufacturer. (Strange that it advises contacting the "software manufacturer" rather than "Apple."). The DVD is pristine, no evidence scratches. I also had problems earlier performing an Archive & Install on the old drive, but I thought this was because it ran out of room. I can also boot the MacBook through my old drive, attached to a USB enclosure. Can that drive be used to install a new system?

I just got a new MacBook Pro today (2.4Ghz i5) and it kept freezing randomly, such as opening safari. I open disk utility, it says that S.M.A.R.T. is verified, when I verified the disk, it said "invalid node structure" and to repair using the Mac OS disk. I booted from the disk, disk utility failed to repair twice, but after the 3rd repair, it said repair was successful, but after a few days, same problem "invalid node structure." I've repaired the disk many times and I always get the same result a few days later, I've also reformat the laptop 3x with same problems reoccurring after a few days.
I read that using disk warrior was best to solve these problems, except I there were mixed results, some people said that it fixed their problems, others said it was just a temporary fix, so I don't wanna pay for a program that may or may not fix my problem.
Last experiment, I popped in the HDD into my sister's MacBook Pro (2.4GHz Intel Core2Duo) and did a clean install. After a few days of use, it starts to slow down, ran Disk Utility, S.M.A.R.T. status is verified, clicked repair disk, and same thing "invalid node structure."
I went to apple, Apple "Genius" said that there was nothing wrong with my laptop and just told me to do a clean install, which I did many times already. They kept it over night and called the next day to say that there was nothing wrong...
Having said this, how accurate is the S.M.A.R.T status? I search google and some people say that "Invalid node structure" is a sign that the HDD is failing.
Any of you guys experienced this problem, where the S.M.A.R.T. status is verified, even though the HDD is dying? I don't have money to experiment and buy another laptop HDD to install just to test this out so can you guys tell me your experience?

I have PowerMac G4, 1.25Ghz PowerPC, 1.25GB Ram, OSX 10.3.9 and want to use my HP 5300c scanner. I installed the HP Image Zone Ver 9.1.2 software that at least on the surface seemed to install the drivers. I am able to see the device on USB through both System Profile USB and Tech Tool pro 4. I suspect an HP driver installation problem or incorrect Driver /compatibility issue. How to verify the correct installation of the drivers, where to go to ensure that I have the correct drivers. There is no way to download software directly from HP, only through oexternal links into the HP site. If anyone knows of the correct links for the 10.3.x drivers, or have any other suggestions as to what they have done to get their HP ScanJet 5300c to work with Power PC G4 with OSX 10.3.x. I last used the HP 5300c with my iBook G3 under OS9, though that was a pain due to CP conflicts - Luckily I still use conflict catcher - and now I need to use it with the G4 under OSX.

I've been getting a Kernel Panic about once or twice a day.I tried the disk repair utility to see if that fixes the problem. I received the message in a dialog box:Disk Utility stopped verifying 'Macintosh HD' This disk needs to be repaired using the Recovery HD. Restart your computer, holding down the Command key and the R key until you see the Apple logo. When the Mac OS X Utilities window appears, choose Disk Utility.I tried restarting holding command-R. After a minute or two, I see the Apple logo. Then, after another couple minutes, I see a big grey circle-slash. Below that, I see the small loading progress circle. This does not go away - it stays there until I restart.

I've been having trouble backing up my MacBook Pro to my Time Capsule (hasn't backed up in months) so I ran Disk Utility and it gave the following error: Disk Utility stopped verifying "Hard Disk". This disk needs to be repaired. Start up your computer with another disk (such as your Mac OS X installation disc), and then use Disk Utility to repair this disk. So, if I do that, will I end up losing whatever is on my hard disk? And how do I start up the computer using the OS X disk? Just put it in and restart?

I am trying to check my Harddidk by doing a Verify. So I went to Utilities, select the Harddisk, and then click VERIFY.Â
Then I the following message pops out: "Disk Utility stopped verifying "Ryan ManUtd"Â (note: Ryan Utd is the name of my harddisk)Â
Then it the window panel, there is a message which says: "Error: Live file System repair is not supported"Â
What does this mean ? Other than that, I can still access the contents in my harddisk ...Â

I've accidentally set up my iCloud on different accounts on my iPhone and Mac. I suspect this is the reason why my iCal on the phone does not sync with my Mac. How can I change them both to the same account (the one on the Mac needs to be changed)?
