Constant swooshing and dinging when on Facetime
As soon as my Facetime Call was answered I got constant swooshing (outgoing and incoming mail sounds) and a Dinging sound. It wouldn't stop.
I have 10.8.4 Mountain Lion Intel on my desktop iMac. Can you help?

I had this happen and it turned out to be another application running in the background that was causing the problem. Try quitting other applications one at a time the next time this happens.

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,

When using FaceTime, my iMac makes noises. It dings like I am receiving an email and sometimes sounds like a busy signal, but this is while I am talking to someone. Any suggestions?
Dear Mr. Toad (my all-time favorite ride at Disneyland ;-) ..
Thanks so much for your detailed reply.. my netbook is in the bedroom, turned off.. I (so far) only use it in the evening, in the bedroom.. I've saved your response, and will try your suggestions, and let you know if they solve the problem I described. I really appreciate you taking the time to post such a detailed reply..
I can't answer your Thunderbird "configuration" questions, because I'm in the living room, using the crap Vista laptop, on which I plan to install Thunderbird, and then take Windoze Mail out in the street and drive over it a few times.. I'll get back to you one way or the other, and let you know if your instructions solved the problem, or not..
I don't understand why Thunderbird "out of the box", so to speak, simply doesn't forward HTML emails with embedded graphics, (like Outlook Excess, and Winblows Mail do).. without having to go through those steps. I personally HATE HTML email, but over the years, it's become more and more prevelant.. so it's a problem I must fix..
Thanks again..

Hi debinarizona,

I recently purchase an ipad2. I also have a mac laptop. Now, when I facetime call using my iphone to my ipad2 or mac, it states busy. how can i fix this problem? I have the same apple id e mail for both ipad2 and mac. it might be getting confuse now. I want to be able to face time also using my ipad2 to my laptop especially if one of the members of the family is traveling. Thanks.
thanks. your answer was correct, clearer. I have another question, maybe you can answer. I just purchase my ipad2 2 days ago. yesterday, there was a sound. today there is no sound. there is a sound only in movies and you tube and music. but no sound on all apps and keyboards. I look it up and seems like ther are few that have this problem. I called walmart coz I bought it there and they told me that they have not heard that before but if I can't fix it, just return it and exchange it with anew one since I have 14 days to do that. I tried rebooting it and still won't work. Should I just restore it?

Hi! I have an iPhone 4s and when I FaceTime the sound is really low. It´s really annoying. When I do phone calls it works, and on my MacBook Pro it works much better on FaceTime than on my phone. Can someone pls help to so solute this? Really need help! Thanks
This sounds like something similar to https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3388112?start=105&tstart=0.
Try turning down the speak volume (System Preferences->Sound->Output->Output Volume) or the microphone gain (System Preferences->Sound->Input->Input Volume). Do this on both sides of the call. -
When I facetime the ipad (email address) it calls my phone. The accounts are completely separate. How can I get this to only call the ipad and not my phone as well?
It calls both the ipad and iphone when calling the associated email address for the ipad. However, when I call the iphone it does not call the IPAD.
Thanks for your helpAre you trying to message another Apple device?

When using facetime it only displays a picture and cannot view myself talking
when using facetime it only displays a picture and cannot view myself talking. i can call out but the other person cannot view me. what am i doing wrong? how can i fix this?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") -

Hi I have a new ipad and had facetime working and now when I try to facetime it says unavailable. Wifi is working fine, any suggestions? thanks
Please read Chapter 2.

how can i do with labview program,when i have 20 different values,and 1 want to add it with constant value.and how to get the results?
Why do the 20 values have to be different? The same code should work even if some are equal.
What do you mean by "get the result"? The result is available at the output terminal and all you need is a wire to get it where you need it. That could be an indicator, another operation, or even a hardware device.
What is the data type of the 20 values? An array? A cluster? A bunch of scalars? A waveform? Dynamic data?
LabVIEW Champion . Do more with less code and in less time . -
When using Facetime.. the other person can see and hear me, but I can't hear or see them.. Does anyone have any solutions?? The only thing I can see is a still picture of them
Hi mduggan,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If the other person can't see you during a FaceTime call, first use the Camera app on the iPhone to make sure the camera is working properly. If you don't see an image when using the Camera app, try these troubleshooting steps first:
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
You can find these steps and more information here:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
If the camera is working normally, next troubleshoot FaceTime using the steps in this article:
