Can't Sign-In to Use Facetime
I've been trying to use my iMac Intel's Facetime but keep getting a
"Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again" message.
Obviously, I'm in the internet but Facetime is not allowing me to sign - in for some reason. Any answers?
Hi Carolyn,
Thank you for chiming in. I went to Firewall setting and saw that Firewall is set to Off. So, I don't understand what's keeping Facetime from connecting.
I also check with my internet provider and they said my router didn't have a Firewall block on it. I use Nettalk and as a phone provider and it works fine. Customer Care has been able to help any. There's got to be something...

Hey tcap8687,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with iMessage and FaceTime. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
If you have difficulty activating FaceTime or iMessage - Apple Support
If you see "Could not sign in, please check your network connection and try again" when signing in to your Apple ID
To resolve this issue, follow these steps.
Update to the latest version of iOS.
Verify that you have a data connection by going to www.apple.com in Safari. You can complete Apple ID activation using Wi-Fi or a cellular data connection. If you need help connecting to Wi-Fi, follow these steps.
If you're using Wi-Fi, make sure that your local Wi-Fi network is using the recommended Wi-Fi settings.
Sign in to your account and ensure that the primary email address and alternate e-mail addresses have been verified. If verification is pending, follow the instructions in the email Apple sent to that email address to complete verification. Or remove the e-mail addresses from the account.
If your Apple ID isn't an email address, you can change it. The Apple ID that you're using to activate FaceTime or iMessage must be an email address. Find more information on how to change your Apple ID.
Tap Settings > General > Date & Time. Make sure that your iPhone is set to the correct time zone. If Set Automatically is on but the wrong time zone appears, turn Set Automatically off and choose the correct time zone, date, and time.
Enable iMessage and FaceTime while connected to a different Wi-Fi network (in a different location) if a cellular data connection is not available.
You can see that you've activated FaceTime and iMessage with your Apple ID by following these steps.
Tap Settings > FaceTime > You can be reached by FaceTime at:
Tap Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You can be reached by iMessage at:
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

Can I sign on to use the free apps without credit card info?
Can I sign on to use the free apps without giving a credit card? I am an older person without very much technical knowledge and received this mini ipad as a gift. I do not have an smart devices, just a laptop which I primarily use for music which I have downloaded from youtube and from various other freemusic sites. Can anyone help with any tips on how to use and get the free apps for "free". Hope I made this eay to understand. Thanks for any information.
PaulI primarily use for music which I have downloaded from youtube and from various other freemusic sites.
Just as a precautionary note: be very careful which sites you use to download your music from; if the site is offering something for free which costs money elsewhere it can quite often contain hidden additions (malware) or some other unwanted stuff. -

why i can't sign in icloud use my apple id?
Yes, my question is solved, but I completely dropped all the information about my ID.
I had to once again create an identifier. And there is no information about my credit card, and as there is no history of purchases. -

I just purchased FaceTime and it installed on my MacBook OS 10.6.8. It doesn't accept my Apple ID to allow sign in and use FaceTime
This is what I found out about my own question as nowhere in my search of Apple support was there a similar problem addressed.
What I found that was very frustrating in Apple Support was the references to going into FaceTime preferences to reset certain items. But it can't be opened
if I couldn't activate the sign in... and yes I was very careful with entering correct symbols for i.d. and password. Also, navigating the site is such a mishmash that searches kept changing as I found myself in communities without any reference to backtrack how I got there.
Enough grousing.
I am fortunate to have a TD Curran store nearby. They are a licensed Apple Dealer and service center located in the NW of the U.S.A. They used my id and password, activated the program and tested it on their store phone.
The only thing I could determine that was different was the ISP. The store had a Comcast Commercial business contract- high speed.
My ISP is CLEAR WiMAX out of Portland, OR. When they were independent and just starting I signed on for a very reasonable monthly with the lowest speeds- they have served me well until this fiasco.
My speeds are download ~ 0.789 mbps and upload ~0.390 mbps.
This, I hope, helps at least one person. -

I installed iClouds software 2.1.1 on my PC and verified my email address. When I attempt to sign in I get an error message: CANNOT SIGN UP This Apple ID is valid but it is not an iCloud account. What have I done wrong or where do I go to sign in and use the program?
You must setup a new account on a Mac or an iDevice, then you can sign in from a PC. You cannot create a new iCloud account using Windows.

Can't sign out. Using Android version 4.5.0.39600.
I can click "sign out" from the settings menu. I get the "sign out" sound, and the app closes. I can even go into android's list of running apps, and force Skype to close... But when a contact sends me another text message, the Skype app re-appears and shows the message. How can I temporarily "turn off Skype"? For instance, when I'm sitting at my desk, I don't want incoming messages to go to the computer and to the phone. I want to turn Skype off on the phone. Then when I am away from the desk, I want to be able to start the Skype app and automatically sign in. So, I want to keep "Sign in automatically" turned on, but I want to be able to exit the app completely when desired.
Hi DecayedAngel,
Disabling, Skype – Settings – Sign in automatically, might help. Settings appears when the menu button at the bottom left, below the screen, is pressed
