Logging in for FaceTime

When i try to log in with my apple id and password for facetime it says "The server encountered an error processing registration, please try again later." Why is this happening?

Try Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 suggestions.
The "reset" suggested there often restores normal function.
BTW, Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD."  Regardless of the name of your built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.

  • Can I use an IP camera for FaceTime on my Mac mini?

    I have a Mac mini running Mountain Lion and I would like to know if it is possible to use the streaming video from a wireless IP camera as the video source for FaceTime (and other video apps). If so, how?
    Thanks!

    HI,
    My mistake.  I saw the Mac Mini spec and presumed you were looking for any camera and had come across Wireless IP ones.
    I know of one BlueTooth one (just to keep a spin on it ).
    I have heard good things about this one - but mainly from 2 years or so ago when it was new.
    Actually Wireless IP ones I know next to nothing about.
    One of the main issues with iChat 2 through 4 is that the Video that iChat accepts is limited to DV from the External Firewire cameras that were about  or certain USB Cameras that produce output that works with the Utility from Ecamm or the Apple Framework item that was introduced later in OS X 10.4 for the USB 2.0/UVC compliant cameras.
    By Snow Leopard and iChat 5 most computers do have USB 2.0 ports and all but two of the Mac range have Internal Cameras that are in fact USB 2.0.UVC Compliant.
    On the other side as it were, are Camcorders also move to USB 2.0 over Firewire.
    However in many cases the output is not DV and none are UVC compliant.
    The video signals from these cannot be "translated by either the iUSBCam Ecamm utility or the internal Driver from Apple.
    So the main issue will be the format of the Video output from the camera for iChat or Messages.
    Other apps, particularly Quicktime, are going to have less of a problem as Quicktime can handle many more formats.

  • Why can't I log in to FaceTime?

    Hi all,
    I recently have problems logging in on facetime at my iMac. When I click log in nothing happens.. I restarted it several times, but without a result. Maybe some usefull information: I have got a @mac.com-account (with an @me.com-alias). I tried to log in via both versions.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Is that also an iCloud linked Account ?
    I would think it is if it is linked to an active @me.com id as well.
    You are using the password for this Account ?
    On the Apple ID page is is showing it is a verified ID
    https://appleid.apple.com/  (use the Manage option).

  • Can't log in to FaceTime with non-primary iCloud ID

    Hello,
    I use a family Apple ID for App Store, iTunes Match and photostream but use individual Apple IDs for reminders and contacts. The problem is, on my ipad I can't log in to FaceTime with my personal Apple ID. It will only allow me to log in with my primary Apple ID (the family ID). On my iphone it works because I associate FaceTime and iMessage with my cell number.
    Any thoughts? Thanks!

    KK,
    For some reason, a Mac using Facetime needs to be set to the time zone it is in.  It could possibly have something to do with the FT routers that your call is guided to.  In any case there were two Facetime users I know of, that got their Facetime working by resetting to the proper time zone.  I surely hope this works for you so you can start talking to your folks "across thepond."

  • I cannot log into my Facetime or iMessages. When I bought this iPad2 in November everything worked. This is extremely frustrating. Has anyone found the solution?

    I cannot log into my Facetime or iMessages. When I bought this iPad2 in November everything worked. This is extremely frustrating. Has anyone found the solution?  

    I can still access the internet. I can still log into my iCloud. I reset my network settings and restored my iPad twice already. I tried all the stuff I could find on YouTube to include changing my DNS setting to 8.8.8.8 I don’t know why I can’t log on. I bought the iPad in Germany and it worked. When I came back to Turkey where I live it worked. I took a trip to the states in December and it worked. Now that I’m back in Turkey, I can’t even log on. For both the facetime and imessage I get a message that says “ Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again. I tried to all the help line twice and they couldn’t even help me. I just bought this in November and don’t know why it’s not working……….Help if you can. Thanks for the response.

  • I can't log in to FaceTime or iMessage

    After updating my MacBook to OS X Yosemite, I can no longer log in to FaceTime or iMessage. I get this message each time, "To use this Apple ID with iMessage, contact iMessage support with the code below.  Customer Code: 0263-xxxx-xxxx", but when I call I can't get assistance bc my Apple Care has expired. Please help!

    Hi There,
    Thank you for the advice and for pointing out that it may be an Apple ID issue. However, calling the 1(800) number directly did not provide an option to select "Apple ID". I think this occurred because I called from the telephone number filed on my account, which automatically pulls up my account information when I call, and didn't allow further assistance since my Apple Care has expired. The only option offered was to pay. So, I searched online for Apple ID Support, which provided Apple Call Back support, and I was able to resolve the matter.
    Thank you again!

  • Can't Log-In to FaceTime...Help!

    Hi Gurus... I've been using FaceTime successfully for years...then about 2 weeks ago , I opened FaceTime on my Air (10.8.5) and was greeted with a request to enter my Apple ID and Sign In... Did so... Panel appeared asking for FaceTime pasword with sub-text saying to use Apple ID...Did so...same panel re-appeared... Repeated...same result. Again and again....Weird. Decided to select Create New Account option... same result. Eventually get red-colour messages saying "Registration cancelled" and "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again"... and so a fortnight of frustration has followed. Fortunately, FaceTime works perfectly on my iPhone...even since installing IOS7.
    Any help... preferably explained in step-by-step/idiots-guide format would be hugely appreciated. Thank you.

    Same thing has happened to me. I created a new password in the 'manage apple ID' and now facetime logs on, asks me to verify email, but stops after email is verified. it doesn't continue onto another screen, or allow me to move forward. I can only go back to username and password screen again.

  • What are bandwidth requirements for FaceTime?

    I can't get FaceTime to work. A 'Ping' check tells me that I've got 20Mb download and 1 Mb upload. Is this enough ?  What are bandwidth requirements for FaceTime?  If I've theoretically got a fast enough connection, then where is the restriction of bandwidth occurring?   How can I find out whether the problem is inside my computer, or on the net?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Try to make a call. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.

  • Can't login in to Face Time preferences. Message says "you are now signed out of Face Time.  To activate Facetime, follow the instructions in the main window.  What main window?  None for Facetime

There is no "main window" and absolutely no way to sign in. There has to be a simple way of doing this but I can find nothing in support that gets me to a sign in window.

  • I need the Log Report for the Data which i am uploading from SAP R/3.

    Hi All,
    I am BI 7.0 Platform with Support Patch 20.
    I need the Log Report for the Data which i am uploading from SAP R/3.
    I extract the DATA from R/3 into BI 7.0 DSO where I am mapping the GL Accounts with the FS Item.   In the Transformation i have return a routine on the FS Item InfObject . I am checking the Gl code into Z table for the FS Item .
    I capture the FS item from the Z table then update this FS item to Infobject FS item.
    Now i  need to stop the Data upload if i do not find the GL code in the Z table, and generate report for all GL code for which the FS item is not maintained in the Z table.
    Please suggest.
    Regards
    nilesh

    Hi.
    Add a field that you will use to identify if the GL account of the record was found in the Z table or not. Fx, create ZFOUND with length 1 and no text.
    In your routine, when you do the lookup, populate ZFOUND with X when you found a match (sy-subrc = 0) and leave it blank if you don't find a match. Now create a report filtering on ZFOUND = <blank> and output the GL accounts. Those will be the ones not existing in the Z table, but coming in from your transactions.
    Regards
    Jacob
