Facetime works on iphone but not on mac using snow leopard?

Face Time is synced to my iphone 4S, and Face Time works on it. But when I try to make calls on my imac (snow leopard) using Face Time, it doesn't work, it says that the 'call failed'. I've turned off Face Time on my iphone, so that the calls will go to the mac only, and calls i make will go from the mac only.
Any ideas?

The Version of Snow Leopard is 10.6
My only thought as to why Facetime is not working is because of the recent changeover to iOS 6.
Apple are obviously trying to get everyone on to Mountain Lion, but some users, including myself
prefer to wait a while to let the gremlins get sorted.
Any ideas on the above will be welcome

FaceTime works on iPhone but not macbook..? HEEELP.

Facetime makes/recieves calls as per usual with iphone, but Macbook pro is unsuccessful- says 'connecting' and rings without ever getting through/does not recieve incoming facetime from other devices.

Hello emilia_,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with FaceTime. It sounds like you have isolated the issue to your MacBook Pro.
You may be experiencing this issue due to an expired certificate that can be updated by running the software updates on your MacBook Pro. I recommend reviewing the following article:
Unable to make or receive FaceTime calls after April 16, 2014
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5419
If your software is up to date, I recommend continuing to troubleshoot with the steps in the following article:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

FaceTime works on iPhone, but not on my Macbook Pro.

Hi, I have long been problems for me to log FaceTime on my Mac. It alwayscomes an error message about the network connection. Now I've tried FaceTimeon my iPhone in the same wireless network and it works. Can someone perhapshelp with this?
Thanks in advance.

Lauretta, hi
I just posted this to another discussion where we've been tracking Apple's Facetime problems
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22878878#22878878
"Today, I had to turn off my iPhone in order to do a facetime session between the Facetime app on my MacBook Pro and the Facetime app on my son's iPad mini using his email address because when the phone was on and sitting next to the laptop it kept killing the Facetime connection. TURN IT OFF! Can you believe? Can anyone else out there duplicate this condition?"
Do you think thi smight have something to do with the problem you described?

Slide show works on PCs but not on Macs

A parent at the school where I teach has just created a
website for us. She used Dreamweaver and photoshop to create it.
There are some pages where there should be a looping slide show
(that runs on its own). These slide shows work on PCs but not on
Macs (it just stays on one photo on Macs). For the slide show she
"just added a timeline to the jpg image, changing the imagesource
every 60 frames, that you can do in dreamweaver." Is there some way
to fix this so it works on both?
Here's the school's website: www.smash.smmusd.org

Unfortunately, the timeline function may not be the best way
to do this.
Notwithstanding Joe's comments about 508 compliance, there
have been issues
reported in the past regarding the use of timelines on Macs.
It may be
better to seek some 'banner rotation' scripts using Google,
and replace the
timelines with that script. Your volunteer may or may not
know how to do
that....

Password on apple id works on iPad but not on Mac Pro

Pass word on apple id works with iPad but not on Mac Book Pro, what is the solution, I have tried to reset password but that does not seem to solve the problem.

It kind of depends on where you're entering the password on the MacBook Pro. iTunes Store? App Store?
Try the password on this website https://id.apple.com/ (click on [manage my apple id]
If it works on that website there's nothing wrong with your apple id or password. In that case we really will need to know exactly what you're trying to do when you're getting the password error.

Full page prints from iPhone but not from iPad using photo app with AirPrint ?

Full page prints from iPhone but not from iPad using photo app with AirPrint ? iPad only prints 4x6 on full size paper. It's an HP 8600.

I also have this problem printing photos from an iPad to an Epson WF-2540 printer. It prints only 4x6 and without border (so print starts at extreme top left corner of paper). Borderless printing is not selected on printer. Printing a square photo just crops to 4x6 size.

IMessage working on iPhone but not on MacBook Pro or iPad Air

I Am getting increasingly frustrated that iMessage is working on my iPhone but not on iPad or MacBook Pro. I have tried settings system preferences, taking jabber off etc but still no joy. It's been two weeks now, can anybody help me please

HI,
In System Preferences > Internet Accounts you can enable some email type addresses (they may or may not be actual email addresses) to be able to join various services.
Therefore a Google ID can be activated for Messages as Google allow Google Mail IDs to use their GoogleTalk Service which in turn happens to be a Google Server.
At Facebook (if you have an account there) you can enable Chat which gives you a Facebook Chat ID which also runs off a Jabber server (the ID is similar to your regular ID but has chat in the name and does not work with the Mail App)
Apple Issued IDs (@mac.com @me.com and @icloud.com ending IDs) will work as AIM valid Screen Names in Messages until the 30th June at least (Then @mac.com and @me.com names will stop).
The iOS version of Messages will send either iMessages to Apple IDs and iPhone Numbers or in some cases will send SMS to other phones including iPhones that may not have enough service coverage to do iMessaging.
Of course people may use their Google ID as their Apple ID and use it in the Messages app on the Mac which in turn may mean it is the same on the iOS device.
The same can be done with Yahoo ID.
This means the email IDs from both those services could be used as a Messages account anyway, the iMessages ID as the Apple ID and be active for Mail in Internet Accounts.

Gmail Facebook Mail Comes to my iPhone, But Not My Mac

For a few days now messages from people in a couple Facebook groups (and there are a lot of them) come to my iPhone, but not to my Mac or iPad. And they are all using the same router to get to the internet. And all other mail, before and after these messages gets to all three devices.
Sometimes mail to my Mac (in both the Mail application and using Safari to access gmail) is delayed. I'll be sitting at my Mac with gmail showing I haven't got a message in hours, and notice on my iPhone I've gotten a dozen messages. I'll try to refresh on the Mac and no luck. Then maybe 15 minutes later they'll appear. Don't know whether this is related.

Hi neil43,
If you are not able to send or receive mail on your MacBook because you are being prompted for a password that is then rejected, I recommend trying steps in this article:
OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3276
Tip: If you see a sheet or dialog that states 'Enter the password for user "email address'", this indicates that the email service provider is having an issue with the password being sent by Mail, or there is an issue with the email account. Contact the email service provider for support. Choose Window > Connection Doctor click "Show Detail" then click "Check Again". The information displayed in the "Show Detail" drawer may include details from the email service provider about what the issue is. Look for headers that start with "[ALERT]".
The article continues on to walk you through using Connection Doctor, and based on the results, how to troubleshoot further.
Cheers!

Why can I open attachments (pptx and PDF) on iPhone but not on Mac?

Why can I open attachments (pptx and PDF) on iPhone but not on my MacAir (OS X 10.9.2)? Generally, I can open PDFs on my Mac, but in this case, I opened on iPhone, and not on computer! Also pptx file from one sender opened on iPhone, and not on Mac, and the same pptx sent from another person wouldn't open on either! Help!

Hi there. I think as far as PowerPoint files go (pptx) you will need a copy of Office or some other compatible software (e.g. Keynote) to open it on your Mac. On an iPhone there is a viewer built in just so you can take a look at most common attachment types. If you have a copy of Microsoft Office on your Mac you should be able to open the pptx files in PowerPoint.
OS X definitely has a PDF viewer, it's called Preview. I think you can also load Adobe Acrobat if you want but I've stayed away from it for years as I find Preview faster and better.
If you still can't open a PDF file attached to an email message on your MacAir by double clicking on it, could you let us know what error message you get, or what happens? That will help people to help you.

AIRPORT WORKS ON WINDOWS BUT NOT ON MAC OSX

I own a Mac Mini Intel and I have installed Windows XP with bootcamp. In Windows XP I can connect to my wireless router (and Internet)without problem, but not in Mac OSX. I had this problem with the 10.4.x version, and although I have upgraded to Leopard, the problem continues the same. I can access the router in Windows and change any settings (I say that for if someone knows the solution and it includes changes in the router). Has someone had this problem before? Has someone any solution to this problem? Thank you.

Yes i Seem to be experiencing a similar problem as you, in which connecting to a router on OS X is easy but as soon as i try it on windows xp it cannot establish a connection but my router is already connectingto other windows pcs. Maybe this is because windows cannot recognizethe built in airport, or perhaps it needs to be configured in a way to work with both Xp and os X

I have air printer that works on iPhones but not iPad 2

I have air printer that works with both iPhones but not with iPad2

Just to build on red_menace's answer a bit...
set MyText to do shell script "ps -A | grep '[M]ac VNC 2.1.app' | awk '{print $5}'"
log "MyText=" & MyText
set content of text field "Dir" of front window to MyText
The log command will write the results of the "do shell script" to Xcode's run log window. If you see the correct output there then you know that part is working correctly and the problem is in the way you're trying to insert the string into the text field. Maybe "Dir" doesn't match the name you've given your text field in IB? Or maybe your text field is contained within another view, such as an NSBox or an NSTabView?
Also, I guess "of front window" should work in AppleScript Studio but I always give my windows AppleScript names in IB and then explicitly specify the window in my scripts. Like this:
set content of text field "Dir" of window "MyWindow" to MyText

Safari without flash works on iPad but not on mac

I decided to remove flash from my mac, because I have found that a lack of flash really wasnt causing me any major problems on my ipad.
However, when I access some sites, like this one..... http://www.dailyfrail.com on my ipad the embedded video works just fine, but on my mac it wants a plugin.
I tried using the develop option to pretend to be an ipad, but it still wants a plugin.
How do I make safari on mac work as good as safari on an ipad?

The site requires Flash.
The 10.6 Flash plugin works on v10.7.
Adobe - Install a different version of Adobe Flash Player

IMAP works on my iPhone, but not my Macs?

I have several IMAP accounts set up in Mail. However, Mail won't retrieve IMAP mail from one of them (it will send mail through it fine). The mail server is the same name/account info for retrieving/sending.
Here's where the weirdness comes in.
My iPhone can retrieve the mail, using the account info synced from iTunes.
Entourage on the same machine can retrieve the mail.
Outlook, running through Parallels on the same machine can retrieve the mail.
But Mac Mail, running on this machine and two others, cannot do it. I receive a "timeout on port 143" message inside the mail viewer window, and a different "trying to login failed. Make sure un/pw are correct" error message in the Connection Doctor.
Does anyone have any ideas for this? It's a weird, crazy problem that I have never seen before!
Thanks,
Eric

maybe update the firmware of the router for better comparability

IMessage working on iPhone but not on MacBook Pro or iPad

I've been working on this issue for several days to no avail. I've even worked through it with multiple technicians on AppleCare (and they actually made the problem worse). I cannot send any messages via iMessages on my Macbook and...in the process of troubleshooting it, lost the ability to send imessages on my macbook. My iPhone (even when the only thing it is connected to is wifi) works fine. I'm using the most up-to-date version of Mavericks. I'm using the most up-to-date version of iOS. The only thing that the technicians and I could figure out to spark this had to do with 2-step authentication. Has anyone else successfully resolved this issue before?

HT202786 Shared photos appear on iPad and iPhone but not on Mac

Hi Everyone:
I have several albums I share via iCloud. They appear on both my iPhone and iPad, but do not appear in iPhoto on my Mac. The album titles appear, but the photos do not have. Below are screenshots.
All devices are using the same iCloud account. I have tried turning iCloud Photo Sharing on and off in both System Preferences and iPhoto, but that is not working.
iPad:
iOS 8.1
Mac
OSX Yosemite 10.10.1
MacBook Pro 13-inch (mid-2012)

You could also try to remove folder ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub-shared/ to the Desktop.
This folder is the local copy of the photos in the shared Photo Streams on the Mac from the user library.
The user library is hidden by default. To open the hidden User Library:
Use the Finder's "Go" menu.
Click "Go", then hold down the options key, until you are seeing "Library" in the drop down menu appear and click it.
In the Finder window that will open navigate to the folder ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub-shared/.
Remove the folder and restart the Mac. It will take some time, until the folder will populate again. Don't delete the copy you removed, just in case.
