FaceTime worked fine for a year and just quick working??

I had no problems with the Face Time usage on my MACPRO ...then a couple of months ago it just quit working?  Says it is off - I click on and preferences and the eternal circle goes non stop?
Anyone else have issues with Face Time?

I called AppleCare yesterday to find out if my Logs had been analyzed and if they had an answer for my FaceTime issue. They did indeed have the answer. It was a "serialization problem". The original logic board in my Mac Pro 1,1 needed to be replaced, right after I purchased it, and the ASP didn't "serialize" the new board. The AppleCare rep told me to take it in to any Apple Store and they will serialize the board or replace it if necessary!!! And they refunded my $19.00 for Single-Incident support since it was due to an oversight by the original ASP! AWESOME!!!!!!!!
I shot over to my local Apple Store and within 5 minutes (FIVE MINUTES!) FaceTime was working!
Not sure if this will help anyone else, but paying $19.00 for AppleCare support is definitely the way to go, and you might even get it refunded!
This was a one week process, since my initial call to Apple, but they reviewed the logs and found the problem. The reps were all very professional and very knowledgeable. I can't say enough about this!! Very Happy!

    My Ipad has suddenly stopped playing music and videos??

    Swipe your phone to unlock and enter your passcode.
    You needed to enter a passcode before using the touch id.
    If you touch id isn't working, then erase the old print and re do it.
    I use two prints and have no issues using it.

    Hello,
    Why do you need to use the regasm utility from the post-build action?
    There is a difference between signing the assembly with a strong name and digital signature. The
    How to: Sign an Assembly with a Strong Name article in MSDN explains how to sign an assembly with a strong name (.snk). See
    How to digitally sign a strong named assembly for adding a digital signature.

  • My flash drive which worked fine for 2 years crashed

    I have a 32G flash drive which worked fine for 2 years. Then the Disk Utility says it needs repairing but the repair command is disabled.
    So I transferred the entire content of the drive to another drive .
    Now I want to reformat the drive that needed repair and hopefully save keep it as a spare drive. Somehow I don't know how to format it and I'm too lazy to drag up my PC and do it there.
    How do I format it straight from my Macbook Air.
    Thanks

    Restart the computer and immediately hold the Option key down.
    Select the Recovery partition and continue.
    On the next pane, select Disk Utility and continue.
    When DU opens, select your hard drive in the left column, click the First Aid tab, the click Repair Disk.
    When that is done, quit DU and restart in the usual way.

  • Extend a network worked fine for 2 years, now it doesn't

    Sorry I'm not at home so I've gotta go off bad memory...
    My setup has worked fine for a number of years.  A non-simultaneous dual band Extreme is the main base station.  I have a Express ethernet-ed to the network working without issue.  There's also a newer Extreme farther away that has been wirelessly extending the network without too much issue until now.  Airport Utility pops up now saying the newer Extreme is unable to extend.  All I attempt to do is restart because all my settings seem to have been fine.  Original base set to create with extend checked, and the newer Extreme set to extend with the same ssid, password etc.
    So what's changed if I haven't changed anything?  Newer versions of something?
    Thanks for any input.

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

  • I am a new mac user and have a 15 macbook pro (non retina display).  I am having an issue with safari "freezing" ...it will work fine for a while and then I will open a new tab and attempt a website that won't load and after that it seems no website will.

    So yes like mentioned above...i am a new mac user...have only had it about four days and have had a windows based system always before this.  The issue I am having is that I will be in safari and it will work perfect for a while and then i will open a new tab and attempt another website and it will either be extremely slow or will give the error that it cannot connect to the server, however, when i run diagnostics my internet is fine.  The only solution i have found is to reboot and geeksquad has been unable to replicate the problem while connected to my computer to try to do so.  Does anyone have any suggestions or anyone else with this problem?  If you have a "fix" please try layman's terms because again I have no idea about macs haha.  Thanks,

  • TS1398 My ipod touch will not connect to our wifi all of a sudden. It has worked fine for 6 months and now just has stopped connecting. I have done all the trouble shooting tips available. Any other ideas?

    We bought this itouch for our daughter for Christmas (2011), It has worked fine all this time until now. All of a sudden it will not connect to our home wi fi. All the other ipods/iphones/laptops and desktop are connecting fine so I know it is not the router itself. I have tried all the standard troubleshooting tips (forgetting the network and resetting it on the ipod, turning it off an on, plugging it in and updating the software, we even restored it completely from itunes as a new ipod). It lists the network as available but then when you try to connect it just sits there with the little circle icon thing spinning, trying to connect but never does.Please help!

    So you also rebooted your router correct?  Does the iPod still connect okay to other networks?

    Have lost ability to open Boot Camp on start or restart. Icon does not show up. Had been working for 2 years, then nothing. Recently had problems with Kodak Easy Share in PC partition. Any connection? Any hope of reopening Boogt Camp without losing data already there?

    Can you see there is a partition?
    Can you boot Windows 7 DVD?
    Did you think you would never need a backup image?
    So no Safe Boot, no F8, possible?
    Paragon CampTune
    Paragon CampTune is a commercial product that is designed expressly for this task. http://www.paragon-software.com/home/camptune/ It consists of a downloadable ISO that needs to be burned to a disc and booted from in order to resize the partitions. During testing it was available free, but now costs US$19.95. MR user Rodus reports that it damaged their OS X partiton and a reinstall was required, so heed the warning and have a backup.
    Paragon Partition Manager
    From the makes of CampTune is a commercial tool that is similar in functionality to GParted Live, but has a more polished/friendly user interface than GParted Live. Previously only the US$79.95 Professional version supported all the features required for this, but as of version 11 the US$39.95 Personal version has also been reported to work. http://www.paragon-software.com/home/pm-personal/
    Securing Dual-System Configuration
    Imaging is still the most affordable and robust way to secure computer data. Unfortunately Mac OS X backs up only HFS+ volumes, leaving Windows with dual-system configurations unsecured. You can permanently lose all of your data unless you have a Windows-compatible backup solution.
    Paragon’s CampTune and Paragon’s Drive Copy for Mac can secure the entire dual-system configuration. CampTune creates traditional images of volumes or entire hard disks, Drive Copy can copy them to other disks. In case of an emergency, you can restore the previously created image or copy all your data back to its original state.
    Winclone/Disk Utility
    Winclone is a free tool for creating and restoring backup images of your Windows partition. One of its key features is that it can restore to a larger partition than the one the image was created from.
    NOTE: Winclone has been discontinued, but for now remains available and capable of completing these tasks (including creating and restoring Windows 7 images).
    Winclone updated to support Lion Winclone updates and download
    Disk Utility can resize HFS+ (Mac OS) partitions, but is currently incapable of resizing NTFS partitions, so you could use it to reduce the size of the HFS+ partition and create a new larger placeholder MS-DOS (FAT) partition
    The full process would be:
    Backup Windows partition with Winclone.
    (if the new Windows partition is smaller than the old one make sure you set the preferences in Winclone to save the image as an uncompressed dmg)
    Delete old Windows partition
    Resize current Mac Partition
    Create new Windows partition as MS-DOS (FAT) in free space after Mac OS partition.
    (If the new Windows partition is smaller than the old one an additional step is required: shrink the filesystem on the image by selecting Tools->Shrink Windows (NTFS) Filesystem)
    Reboot your computer for the new Windows partition to mount properly (winclone may not restore if you don't reboot)
    Restore Winclone partition over new Windows partition
    An alternate Winclone based process is described in the External Guides section

  • VPN working fine.... then just stopped working!

    Have posted this before, but was hoping that someone out there has experienced the same issue.
    I setup the VPN on 10.6 McMini server and it worked really well for several weeks. Then all of a sudden (without any changes being made to the server) it just stopped working!
    I cant get a VPN connection either on the internal network (so no routers involved here) or from external clients. Both of these worked before. Im convinced its def something to do with the server.
    The error I get is PPP Server could not be authenticated.
    Have tried restarting server, stopping and starting VPN service, turning L2TP and PPP of and on again, changed the shared key.. Checked the DNS with changeip and that is all good....
    Hopefully soemone out there will be able to shed some light on this for me...
    Here is the log from the VPN :
