How do you get FaceTime to work on my MacBook Air?

I got my MacBook Air yesterday, I set up an Apple I.D, and I logged into FaceTime. It kept saying that it was was still "Sigining in..." so I pressed cancel and made a new I.D. It STILL doesn't work! My mom even used her Apple I.D that she uses for her FaceTime and that didn't even work. What am I supposed to do??

My ipad and iPhone have different email addresses in the FaceTime field but I can only get FaceTime to work on my iPhone, how can I get them both working on facebook

My ipad has a different email address than my iPhone, both are mine but I can only get FaceTime to work on my iPhone but seem unable to change the email address in that field

If the basics (restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new) don't work, you'll need to bring the phone to Apple for evaluation

I can't get FaceTime to work since maverick update

I can't get facetime to work since Maverick update just won't go past sing in and sometimes won't sing in ! Anyone got an answer please?

Try to turn your computer clear off and be sure you check Software Update again, and Always turn your computer clear OFF afterward and then RESTART and see how that works out for you.

I can't get FaceTime to work, yes I have wi-fi.

i can not get FaceTime to work, yes it's on, yes my account and e-mail match, wi-Fi is on and full strength.
HELP.
< Edited by Host >

Just because you have the wifi signal strength bars, doesn't guarantee you're actually on wifi. Can you open a website in Safari? Can you download an App from the App Store? If you can't, you're not on wifi.
Did you set up facetime using your Apple ID, not necessary your email address?

FaceTime uses Wi-Fi and recipient must also have FaceTime and on Wi-Fi.
Also FaceTime sever could be down.

I suspect security software or a firewall is your problem.

HT1695 My iPad shows it is connected to the Internet wherever there is free wifi but it is getting up and I can't get it to work? I tried rebooting but it didn't help. Any suggestions?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

I can not get iTunes to open on my macbook air and I'm running 10.84 it is saying there is a newer version to download

I can not get iTunes to open on my macbook air and I'm running 10.84 it is saying there is a newer version to download or quit itunes so it dose not fully open

The file that I'm have issues with in itunes is the file called iTunes Libary.itl.
So just to get itunes to open I had to delete that file and then sync all of my music back into itunesday, is there anyway so I do not have to keep doing that?

I have a macbook (10.6.8) and I can not get facetime to work, anyone else having this problem?

How can I get Windows Internet explorer on my MacBook air?

I have several websites that I need to use for my new job that have not been tested for Mac. I don't want to have to buy a PC laptop, so I was wondering if there is a tried and true way to get windows Internet explorer on my MacBook air.

Or install Parallels 7 and then you can run IE just like any other app from within OS X itself. That costs around $50 plus the Windows license though.
Personally I have created an IE9 RDP (remote) App on my terminal server at work and just run that. Looks like it is running on my Mac natively.

Why has Facetime stopped working on my MacBook Air?

FaceTime has stopped working on my MacBook Air. Whenever I try to initiate or accept a call, the screen reads "Connecting" for a few seconds, and then reads "FaceTime Failed." I called Tech Support and they were less than helpful. They said that "perhaps" I need to check for software updates. I did. I downloaded an update for OS X. I then restarted my computer. Big surprise: FaceTime still doesn't work. Any ideas?
I've also heard that certain iOS users are also having FaceTime trouble, but Apple has been keeping very hush-hush about the issue. I'm ready to chuck this stupid piece of crap out of the nearest window and go back to using PCs.
