Can i use face time on my imac

I have a late 2010 (august) vintage imac w/ a camera.  I want to give my mother (out of state) an ipad2 so she can video chat with her grandkids.  Will face time work between an ipad 2 and a late 2010 imac?  If not, are there other options for video chat?

Facetime requires at least OSX 10.6.6 Snow Leopard

With OSX 10.7 Lion Facetime is part os the OSX.
Facetime should work well with what you have in mind.

    Beth,
    Yes, absolutely.  I have a 10.6.8 iMac here, and FaceTime works very well with it.  The minimum requirement for FaceTime for Mac is 10.6.6

  • I have multiple computers set up on homesharing under one itunes account. Can I use face time on all of them or do i need seperate accounts for each?

    I have multiple computers set up on homesharing under one itunes account. Can I use face time on all of them or do i need seperate accounts for each?

    I'd suggest you consider a cloud-based file sharing service such as Dropbox for this sort of use. iOS is not designed to be synched with more than one iTunes library at a time, so attempting to use it as you describe, connecting a single iPad to multiple computers, almost certainly won't work as you intend and is likely to cause nothing but headaches.

  • My wife and I share an apple id how can we use face time

    My wife and I share an apple ID. How can we use face time?

    Try the MacBook Pro forums and perhaps Apple ID or Facetime, this forum does not deal with notebooks or facetime.

  • HT4204 I have iPhone 3GS , you mean to say I can't use face time also I can't connect with television

    Hi, how can I use face time on my iPhone 3gs

    FaceTime is not on the iPhone 3GS because it does not have a front-facing camera. Think about it - if you wanted to use the camera, you'd have to turn the phone around - but then you wouldn't be able to see the other person.
    FaceTime is on iPod touch 4th Gen, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPad 2 and The New iPad.

    Face time with wifi only.  I have a 4Gs iPhone traveling to Japan.  Can I use face time with another 4Gs or IMacback in the States using just wifi and with I have my Celluar Data and Data Roaming off?

    Thanks,  After changing my settings in face time per your suggestion, (it needed to be done),  I turned off cellular data and data roaming and made a call using face time.  It worked!  Great way to stay in touch while overseas without the need for those egregious phone data plans.

  • How can I use Face Time with my phonr number?

    I can´t use my phone number to be my recipiant to iMessage and Face Time, it just puts the label "Verifying" and my number. Does anybody knows if this is a carriers problem or an iPhone problem?
    PLEASE IT'S URGENT!!!!!

    Actually I've been in Mexico for the last year so I got an iPhone 4
    Here, and FaceTime and iMessage worked perfectly but then my iPhone
    Had some hardware problems so my carrier which is Movistar here in Mexico
    Got me a new one about three days ago and this problem started.
    Is my carrier relevant?

    Sorry, iPhones bought in coutries where FaceTime is not supported don't have FaceTime as part of the iOS and you can't add that after you bought the phone.

  • Can't use Face Time between my devices

    I have an iPad 2, an iPhone 4S, & a 4th gen iPod.  Until recently I was able to Face Time between them all.  Now when I try to make a call it says that I'm unavailable.  I have read the generic troubleshooting article & tried all those things.  None of them have worked.  Does anyone have a suggestion for possible solution?

    Can you FT other devices?

    Are you calling an email/phone number not also used for FT on the calling device?
