An internal facetime error occurred

I am getting an internal facetime error occurred message when trying to access the application. I have an iMac running mac os x v 10.6.8.... any help would be awesome, I have tried all google search fixes with no success...

If your webcam is powered by USB, make sure it is attached directly to your Mac and not a USB hub.  In my case, I had my Rocketfish webcam attached to a peripheral USB hub and it wasn't drawing enough power to operate at capacity.  Therefore, Facetime was quitting on me and giving me that exact error message.  Once I attached the webcam directly to my Mac USB port, problem solved.  Hope that helps.

  • I have Mac OS 10.6.8  and get "An internal FaceTime error occurred".

    Is there a fix in the works.  Apple says click only once on icon but this is to no avail for me.  Would REALLY like to use facetime on my MacBook without having to go into the root directory to modify something that should already be modified in the program's release.  Does anyone have THE official answer for a fix?  Is this one of those things I for which I need to call Apple and pay for the tech support to get it to work,  or does it just not work on OS 10.6.8?
    Any assistance would be appreciated.
    Tia to all who respond and have a GREAT evening evryone!

  • Every time i get on my computer and click on imessage and facetime a little box pops  up saying an internal messages error occurred  or an internal facetime error occurred....but my question is how do i get it to stop doing this or how to stop it

    every time i get on my computer and click on imessage and facetime a little box pops  up saying an internal messages error occurred  or an internal facetime error occurred....but my question is how do i get it to stop doing this or how to stop it.

    For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices. 
    That all works.
    It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now.  They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
    I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
    Thanks for listening,
    Melissa

  • TS4185 I have downloaded facetime from the App store and I keep receiving this message - An internal FaceTime error occurred.  There was a problem with FaceTime. You need to quit and open FaceTime again.  Please help!

    I have downloaded facetime from the App store and I keep receiving this message - An internal FaceTime error occurred.  There was a problem with FaceTime. You need to quit and open FaceTime again.  Please help!

    This error message could result from an incorrect setting for date and time, or an operating system which does not have the latest updates installed.  It's a good idea to have your location setting on automatic.  Turn on the wi fi in your mac for a minute or so, to allow it to automatically search for your present location.  Do this even though you have the correct time Date settings displayed.

  • Internal FaceTime error occured

    I installed FaceTime on my MacBook Pro, but when I go to the Applications and try to open it, it says "An internal FaceTime error occurred. There was a problem with FaceTime.  You need to quit and open Face Time again."  When I do, nothing changes.  Any suggestions on what I can do?

There was a problem with FaceTime. You need to quit and open FaceTime again." and i have to quit it since there is absolutely nothing i can do. i even tried buying it again on the appstore, but, even that does not work because it says i already have it. i really need to get facetime working back again. please help me out, someone.

  • "An internal Facetime error occured"

    I click on facetime app from dock and "An internal Facetime error occured". I quit app and tried again and again. Same error everytime? Can someone help?

    I found the following info from a post in July,2013. This solved my problem.
    Go to the folder /Applications then right click on FaceTime.app go into /Contents/LaunchAgents and look for two files "com.apple.imagent.plist" and "com.apple.apsd-ft.plist" and copy them into your /Home/yourusername/Library/LaunchAgents. If you can't find "com.apple.apsd-ft.plist" do a Google search for it and download it, the name will be "com.apple.apsd.plist.txt", do a cmd-I on it and rename it "com.apple.apsd-ft.plist" put this file in the same folder as "com.imagent.plist", launch FaceTime and if your webcam lights up, your good to go.
    I didn't have to download any files or rename them.  I simply followed the first part of the instructions and copied "com.apple.imagent.plist" into my /Home/yourusername/Library/LaunchAgents and everything worked after that.

  • HT204408 Internal FaceTime error occurred.  How can I fix and run FaceTime on my MacBook  running 10.6.8

    How can I fix face to run on my MacBook running 10.6.8. The error is "internal face error occurred.

    I was getting the same error, and I could not find the file to copy that others had mentioned.  However, I found a fix that works for me.  I did a "control + click" on the facetime icon in the dock, selected "options" then "remove from dock".  Once it was gone, I opened "launchpad" opened Facetime from launchpad, then when the icon was in the dock I did another "control + click", "options" and then "keep in dock".  Now I have no problem opening it.  Hope this helps someone else.
