Cannot connect to Facetime on Macbook Pro
Ever since I upgraded my OS to OSx Mavericks, my Facetime and iMessage is not working. Basically when i start up the Facetime app, it will show the sign in screen prompting you to key in your apple id and pw, which i did. After signing in, it will go to the page saying 'A phone number is associated with the Apple ID "-". People will call using your email address and phone number. Which one would you like to use?' and shown is a list of email address and phone number linked to my apple ID. I tried selected only my email address or both my email address and phone number and clicked next, and Facetime would show that it is verifying. However, after a while, it will return back to the first sign in page, without signing me in at all. May I know what is the problem? Sorry the console log might be a little long but it's all Facetime. I tried updating to the latest version and even reinstalled my mac to no avail. Anyone here encounters the same issue or knows how to solve this?
Thanks a lot in advance for all your help! I really appreciate it!

cannot log into facetime on MacBook Pro keep getting message check you network connection. I am able to log on my apple id but not on face time help
Just figured it out! Here it goes:
Click on where you find the little AirPort sign (on iMac it is on top right hand side next to the date and time).
Go down to: Open Network Preferences
Click on: Advanced
Then on DNS
Then click on the + sign and put the following numbers: 8.8.8.8
click again on the + sign and put: 8.8.4.4
Worked for me! Hope it helps :-) -
Cannot connect Samsung HDTV to Macbook pro (late 2011)
I just bought a Samsung HDTV and would like to connect it to my Macbook pro from late 2011 running lion. I have both the adapter and the hdmi cable. The hdmi cable is plugged into the tv. When I try to change the source on the tv to hdmi it says no device found. I have tried turning both the tv and laptop off and then plugging in the cable, then turning on the tv then computer. The computer does not recognize that anything is plugged into it either. When I go to system preferences: display, it does not recognize the tv.
HELP!!!!After clicking detect displays I assume and mirroring is checked.
Try a NVRAM reset see if that helps.
Leave it connected to the TV w/TV on, power off the MBP and power it on holding the following keys:
COMMAND+OPTION+P+R hold till before the start chime and continue to hold til you hear the start chime 2 times, then release. Reboot. -
Ipad Air Cannot Connect to Itunes on Macbook Pro
Hello,
I just got a new Macbook Pro 13" retina, when I try to sync my Ipad Air with my computer two things happen. 1) On my Ipad Air, a "Trust This Computer" messages flashes continuously and nothing happens if I hit Trust because the message disappears and reappears too quickly. 2) On my Macbook Pro 13" retina, on itunes a message says that "Itunes cannot connect to this Iphone. The device is no longer connected." I am running Itunes 11.1.5 and my Ipad is running ios 7.0.6. What do you suggest to fix this issue?When I plug the iPads into the computer, running OSX 10.9.3, I get an unending series of beeps and a message asking if I trust this computer. Unable to reply to the appearing and disappearing message. Another post sent me to an apple link saying this computer only supports USB 3 devices. Been using macs since the late 80s. I will find the answer and return.

Time Capsule cannot connect via PPPoe when MacBook Pro can.
I used to connect to the internet using my TC as a router, connecting via PPPoE using a DSL modem.
While my ISP had a problem with their network, the TC stop connecting to the PPPoE host and the amber light kept blinking. Because this was taking too long, I decided to investigate this issue.
I tried connecting my laptop directly to the modem, the restored my original configuration.
My MacBook Pro connected via ethernet to the DSL modem, is able to connect to the internet using a PPPoE connection. When I try the same via the TC, it just doesn't connect!
What should I do to troubleshoot this?
Is it possible that it is related to my ISP? Even though the laptop manages to connect via PPPoE.
Even the DSL modem when switched to router functionality is able to connect via PPPoE.
Only the TC seems to fail. What could be the problem?
(I have ruled out incorrect passwords and faulty wiring...)There is some extra info I need.
What modem.. make and model..?? What kind of broadband?
How is the Buffalo setup? Is it router or bridged and if router is it using pppoe?
There is nothing wrong with keeping the buffalo .. it is a very reasonable router.. and just use the TC in bridge plugged into it..
I have to confess I really dislike the airport utility v6 in Mountain Lion.. it is a kiddie toy version of the real v5 utility. Half your problems relate to the near to useless nature of the utility.
Can you install 5.6 and then we can get somewhere.
Here is howto..
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool. -
I cannot connect to FaceTime, encountered "error processing registration, please try later" message on my Macbook Air, but I don't have this problem on my IMac. Can anyone help?
I have the same problem on my iMac. My facetime has been working, but now I'm getting the same error as You. I've been through the following:
The stuff that Linc Davis suggested, new profile on iMac, moved iMac into DMZ zone with no firewall rules, tested with other Apple-ID, checked hosts file, checked different timezone settings, tried to connect to 2 mobile APs (with diferent providors), changed DNS servers (ISP's DNS + Google DNS + Open DNS) - Nothing helped. Also talked to Apple Support, since i have Apple Care, but the seem to be a bit clueless also Well I've mailed them the results of my different tests, so lets see what they come up with - Unfortunately I'm sure it will be the same suggestion as all the major PC manufactures suggests, reinstall and test - RIGHT !!!!!!
If I get solution, I'll post it here.
Kind Regards

i connect my externalpendrive to macbook pro but it cannot detect and my important data is there in my pen drive so how can i collect this data from my pendrive?
make sure that in your finder preferences you have it checked to show external drives on the desktop and in the sidebar of finder
you find these preferences by selecting the finder icon (blue square on the dock w/ smiley face on it) then click on the work "finder" at top left corner of computer screen then click on preferences then general and put check next to show these items on the desktop and put check next to external drives
now you should see it on the desktop if you still can't open the drive or access it, it may be in format the mac can't read or write to so that could be an issue. -

Recently when I connect Iphone 4s and MacBook Pro my computer stopped see new photos on Dropbox.
Recently when I connect Iphone 4s and MacBook Pro my computer stopped see new photos on Dropbox. I have changed iCloud password on Mac and Iphone, nothing. Deleted some pictures of iPhone, didn't help. Any ideas what I did to mess this up?
I cannot deleted. Computer keep telling that my dropbox is open. Don't see how to shot it off. Do I need to delete all pictures from dropbox first and delete application after. Will I loose all these pictures? Usually, I copy all photos to iphoto app.

Server encounters and error when using FaceTime on MacBook Pro but not while using on iPad
Whenever I try to use FaceTime on MacBook Pro, it tells me "the server is encountering an error processing registration, please try again later". It also says that I have the option to create a new Apple ID account in order to use FaceTime.
I don't want to create a new account, because I currently use the same account on my iPad. Is there something that I'm doing wrong, since I use FaceTime on my iPad mini now?Hey there career change,
It sounds like you are unable to sign into FaceTime on your Mac, but on your iPad it works fine. I would use the troubleshooting steps in the following article about FaceTime for Mac:
FaceTime for Mac: Troubleshooting FaceTime
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4185
Ensure that you have an active Internet connection.
Verify that you are using a valid Apple ID at appleid.apple.com. You can also create an Apple ID or reset your password from this website.
Check that your email address is verified in FaceTime > Preferences.If FaceTime > Preferences shows your email status as "verifying," follow the instructions in the verification email that was sent to complete the process.
Toggle FaceTime off and on in FaceTime > Preferences.
If still unable to Sign In follow the instructions in FaceTime, Game Center, Messages on OS X: Troubleshooting Sign in
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

My Airport Extreme cannot be discovered by my macbook pro. Need help.
New, out of the box, the AirPort Extreme is broadcasting a wireless signal with a name like Apple Network xxxxxx.
If you want to configure the AirPort Extreme using wireless, you must log on to this network first from your Mac.
Click the AirPort icon at the top of the screen, click Join Other Network, click Show Networks, select the Apple Network xxxxxx and log on. No password is required. Then open AirPort Utility.
Or
If you have a spare Ethernet cable handy, connect it from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme to establish a direct connection. Then open AirPort Utility. -
How can I connect my early 2008 MacBook Pro to a tv through HDMI?
I was wondering if there is a way to connect my early 2008 MacBook Pro to a tv using an HDMI port. My MacBook Pro has a DVI output. In the past I bought a DVI to VGA adapter and connected it to a TV that had a PC input that took VGA and a 3.5mm audio cable. I was wondering if anybody has found an adapter or cable that takes a DVI and 3.5 mm audio cord and has only an HDMI cord at the other end. I have a new TV that only has HDMI inputs and would like to be able to connect my laptop to it.
Since you have not identified exactly what MBP you have, but mention DVI, I suspect a cable such as this is what you will need.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/380694416929?lpid=82
Understand that 2009 MBPs and earlier do not support audio via DVI or minidisplay port. You would have to tap the audio output port with a cable such as this:

I am not endorsing these cable specifically, these are just examples that represent what connections that are required.

Hi,
I am trying to connect my Mid-2009 Macbook Pro to my new YAMAKASI CATLEAP Q270 SE 27" LED 2560X1440 WQHD DVI-D Dual Computer Monitor. I am not having a lot of luck.
My machine:
OS: Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
Processor: 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
I am trying to connect it using the:
Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter
DVD-D HDMI cable
YAMAKASI CATLEAP Q270 SE 27" LED 2560X1440 WQHD DVI-D Dual
(http://www.ebay.com/itm/150788045871?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m149 7.l2649#ht_16597wt_877)
Here is what is happening.
1. I connect the Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter + HDMI Cable to Monitor
2. Main monitor powers up like it is trying to display
3. Laptop Monitor displays second part of desktop
4. I can never get the Yamakasi to display a picture
Here is what I have tried:
1. Different HDMI-D cables
2. ATLONA AT-DP400 Dual Link DVI to Mini Display Port Converter
3. Zapping the P-Ram
4. Powering monitor with laptop closed
5. Forcing the system to see the second monitor
The nearest I can figure:
- The laptop does see the catsleap (it displays resolutions I can set it to)
I am completely stumped, I was hoping someone could advise me.
Thanks,
DonHey Kytarx,
I found the winning combination this weekend.
I tried:
- Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter
- ATLONA AT-DP400 Dual Link DVI to Mini Display Port Converter
- Monoprice Mini DisplayPort | Thunderbolt® to HDMI®, DVI & DisplayPort Adapter
My experience:
- Altona didn't work at all, and their support claimed it would not.
- Monoprice didn't work to Dual DVI, it did work to HDMI (great price I wish it did)
- Apple Mini Displayport adapter did work, but would only work with certain USB + Display port combos.
The thing that was tripping me up was that two of the Dual DVI-D cords were bad. Once I found the working cord, it was easier to find the working adapter. The experience I did find to be a frustrating / expensive one. However, the Monitor itself is beautiful.
Hopefully this helps someone else..
Don
