Cannot sign into Facetime on MBP
Hi there I have a new Macbook Pro Retina and I cant seem to sign into facetime using Mac OS X 10.7.5
when I put in my apple id and password it constantly says 'Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again.
My wifi is fine as im posting this from it.
Any ideas to help me solve this problem?
Cheers
HI,
That is the same on my iMac (Mountain Lion), MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard and my older G4/1Ghz Dual processor tower.
The tower definitely has a separate Graphics card.
It would appear that this is not your issue then.
Have you tried adding a Pubilc DNS server to the Network settings ?
Google run 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 (System Preferences > Network > Advanced Button > DNS tab)

Dear Friends,
I am unable to contact my friends on FaceTime last 5-6 days. Although I am connected to the Internet and browsing my mails successfully, when I sign into FaceTime with correct ID and PW a message appears ' cannot connect to server. pl check Internet connection' this is very confusing. Pl help.
thanks
ARabinda GangulyMake sure your time zone and time are correct. Have the iPad get the time automatically.

I cannot sign in FaceTime , it keeps on saying an error occurred during activation, please sign in again
Hey!
I too was facing the same problem but have found a solution for it. The problem is most likely because of the 'Date & Time' setting. Change to setting to 'Set Automatically' and then try reconnecting to facetime/imessage.
Hope this helps you as it did to me. -
Having problems signing into Facetime on ipod touch. Everytime I try it says I don't have the correct user ID or password. But, they work fine to sign in for Itunes. HELP!
I had this problem too. As it turns out, when you first sign in to FaceTime, it saves that password. If you have changed your Apple ID account password since the first time you used FaceTime on your device, it will reject that password, even though it is right. Basically, FaceTime thinks it needs the original password. This means that you will have to restore. If you haven't changed your password though, I am not sure.

Cannot sign into facetime on iMac (intel)
Hi,
I bought a brand new iMAC last week. I'm using my apple id and the password I created couple of years ago to login.
Facetime takes alot of time to sign in but comes back with an error "Could not signin. Please check your network connection and try again."
I tried connecting with both my wired internet cable and wireless.
What could be wrong?
thx in advance,
Krans.I have the same problem. using Lion OS 10.7.1 and Face Time v 1.1. Looking for good advice

Cannot sign into FaceTime or iMessage
We just bought a new iMac, downloaded Yosemite, and now FaceTime nor iMessage will sign in. With FaceTime, after typing in the password, my ID and password go black and that's it. With iMessage, all I get is a spinning wheel and it stops there. My ID works everywhere else.
Please help, this is very frustrating with a brand new machine where you expect everything to work out of the box...The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies. -
I have been through the online support to try to get answers. I followed all the directions and nothing. The message I get is (Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again)
I am connected with FIOS
Deleted all wifi and re-signed in
Made sure my Apple ID was valid and I only have 1
I use this to see my family when I am on the road. It does not work with other networks either.
Thank you for your helphttps://discussions.apple.com/message/19542736#19542736

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 :-) -

I have iphone 5 with iOS 8.1.2. I cannot use my phone because of a pop up message asking me to sign into FaceTime, which I never use. It asks me for my password for an iCloud email address that I never use, either. IThen it tells me to reset it, which I do. i receive link from Apple to reset, which I do. Then I try enter the password on phone, but it doesn't accept it.
