Do i have to purchase FaceTime for mac to use FaceTime on this used macbook i just purchased

Inputting my apple ID to set up facetime on this macbook for the first time, I keep getting the error:
"the server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later".
Any ideas what's happening? (I can surf the web so i know my internet is functioning)

However, try this. Connect both your Macs, and restart from your old one. Launch App Store and see if you can download Lion.

How can I get sound in Facetime for Mac?

I bought the Facetime for mac about two weeks ago in my macbook pro. But I can't use it to talk with my father in Ipad2. There is no sound. I can here from my father but my father could hear nothing from me. I don't know why. I need help please. Thank you.

I have the same problem? Has anyone found the solution yet?

If I already purchased FaceTime for Mac and recently upgraded my HD. How can I retrieve that app again? I found it in my Time Machine back up, but the files won't work. Please help.

Nope. I do the same exact thing. If you have DVD's and blu-rays you can't download a free application called Handbrake. You can set it to Apple TV2 automatic format and they will come out as playable m4v's that can play I'm iTunes. All you have to do is turn on Home Sharing in both iTunes and your Apple RV and you'll be good to go!

How do i purchase a volume license to get a serial no. for Windows if i have a photoshop CS5 for Mac

How do i purchase a volume license to get a serial no. for Windows if i have a photoshop CS5 for Mac? And how much does it cost?

Forget that nonsense talk about volume licenses. Or are you saying you need 10 Windows licenses? You simply buy a new version of PS (= new license) or do a platform swap.

Where is my FaceTime for Mac?

Hi everyone,
I just purchased FaceTime for Mac, but I have not received a confirmation e-mail nor do I find the app anywhere on my MacBook? What do I do? Where can I find it?
Thans in advance for your kind help!

I'm having the same problem. I'm running 10.7.3 and I've tried calling friends and family, one who has the latest generation iPod touch, and one who has another new MacBook Pro, and while my call pops up on their screen when they click "accept" the system gets stuck in a continual "connecting" mode. When they call me, nothing on my end happens while on their end the calls are ringing. What can I do to fix it?

I am a new mac owner and want to purchase Office for Mac. Thought I was told it could be purchased thru the mac store for approx $80 (word, excel, powerpoint). It is priced at $150 at the mac store. Any advice?

I am a new mac owner & want to purchase Office for Mac. Thought I was told I could get it through the mac store for approx. $80 (word, excel, powerpoint). However, it looks like the cost is actually $150. Is there a better deal?

Here it is from a trusted vendor of Mac goodies for US$100:
Microsoft Office 2011 Mac: Home/Student Edition. Single User License.
I also see the Mac version offered about every other week at Staples for about the same price.
Understand that the 2011 "Home/Student" edition does not come with a mail client.MS dropped Entourage with the 2011 version.
I am running Office 2008 on a Late 2010 i7 Quad iMac and a Core 2 Duo MBP (both are at OS 10.6.8) and I have no complaints. If you want the Entourage Mail client, you can still get Office 2008 from the vendor I linked.
I wonder if someone quoted the US$80 price thinking of Apple iWorks.

PC has just died, so have ordered an mbp. Will word transfer, or do I have to buy word for Mac????

Hi.
My PC has finally died.......
Excitingly, have ordered a MBP.
My question is, will word documents transfer, or do I need to buy word for windows.
Nothing serious, just letters, invoices etc.
THANK YOU.

If you're accustomed to working with MS Office, you can purchase Office for Mac 2011 and your documents will open fine - albeit if different fonts were used there may be some reflow problems.
Before buying Office for Mac, you may want to try out two free alternatives - LibreOffice or OpenOffice. I don't use them as I use Office for Mac but either should be able to open your Word documents.

I bought the Dreamweaver CS5 for Windows a few years ago. Now I have also a Mac Book pro, where I have to Install the Dreamweaver CS5. I have made the Download for Mac, but I can't Install it. When I push the button, I got an error message.

CS5 for Windows can only be installed on Windows operating system.
You would need to purchase CS5 for Mac OS.
Given that CS5 is now 4 versions back, it's unlikely you'll find a copy.
You could get DW CC from the Creative Cloud which supports both Win/Mac platforms.

I have a iMac and a Mac Air. Do I have to pay twice for MAC OS X Lion?

Do I have to pay twice for MAC OS X Lion for my iMac and MAC Air?

No. You can install Lion on all systems you own from a single purchase. Either copy the installer before you run it on the first system and transfer it to the other system, or purchase and download it on one system, then log into the App Store on the second system go to the Purchased tab and you'll be able to download the installer again without charge.
Regards.

Can I call an iPhone (international number) using FaceTime for Mac?

I have a MacBook Pro. My husband, who's stationed in Okinawa, has an iPhone 4 with an international phone number. If we are both in a wifi area, does FaceTime for Mac work when calling an international number??

Yes.
Note that iPhone must be using iOS4.1 (or later) to FaceTime to Mac (or iPod touch).
On your Mac in your wi-fi area, click "Contacts", find and click on his iPhone's number. If he is connected to compatible wi-fi, he will get your invitation.

Cannot sign in to Facetime for Mac

Try as I might, I have been unable to sign into FaceTime for Mac on my Mac. Each time I try, I get the the little twirling circle, then eventually end up with a response in red saying, "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again."
There is nothing wrong with my network connection. I'm able to access anything else that I want through the connection. I have deleted and reloaded the FaceTime for Mac application, I have checked that I have all settings for location, date and time, and everything else, set up as outlined in all the discussion boards with all required permissions. I'm running the latest versions of all software. Still no joy, I'm just not able to access FaceTime from my Mac.
Anyone have any other suggestions? The folks at the Genius Bar seemed unable to offer any ideas.

This is a follow up to my initial posting. I placed a call to Apple Support this afternoon. After the initial agent there was unable to resolve the issue, I was transferred to a more senior technical person. He stepped me through a whole bunch of trouble-shooting exercises, none of which worked. He then had me go into a utilities mode and into an area to "repair permissions" on my hard drive, an evolution that took several minutes, and from what scrolled up my screen, looked as though there were quite a few repairs to be made. The tech said this isn't unusual, and most were probably very minor.
Anyway, after the utility completed, he had me restart the computer, then try again with the FaceTime activation. This time, the activation went through without any problem. I have no idea what "repair permissions" does, but it did resolve my problem and allowed me to activate FaceTime.

I am new to Facetime for Mac, is there a place that I could try it

I bought Facetime for Mac a week or so ago. It is loaded on my Macbook Pro.
I have run Facetime with my iphone and it works OK except for the feedback loop (as expected). I also used it with an iPod Touch and again it worked fine. When I use it with another friend that has a Macbook I do not see or hear him but he can see me and hear me fine.
Is there a place that I can try it out with another user on a computer not a phone?
Jim

The person I was having problems connecting on FaceTime has resolved their problems and now I can FaceTime with them with out any problems. Thus I have no need to find a place to try it. It would be nice if Apple had a piece of their support group that you could connect to on FaceTime. Maybe if you could talk to their sales people over FaceTime that would be another option that should not cost them much and yet provide a nice service.

Facetime for Mac won't get past "verifying"

No e-mail message is being sent. I hit "resend"...nothing.
Can't get beyond this part, so it doesn't work.
It says to follow the instructions in the e-mail to verify the address. I am not getting an e-mail, so I have no instructions. Is there a way to "verify" my address that will circumvent the need to receive the e-mail? I seem to remember doing some sort of verification process to get my daughter's ipod touch Facetime to work. I poked around in mobile me and couldn't find anything.
I added DNS entries for 8.8.8.8 etc.
I am on WIFI on each laptop going through an Airport Extreme hardwired to cable "modem".

It seems you didn't read the system requirements on the Facetime for Mac download page:
+"Requires Mac OS X v10.6.4 Snow Leopard or later."+
Your signature say's you are running Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard, which would also explain why you are unable to install the Security Update for Snow Leopard.

Problem with facetime for mac

hello guy! I've got a problem with facetime for mac.My sister has a I-pod touch fourth generation with factime but i cna't phone her a message come on my mac.It say "xxx can't receive facetime's calls"!Can you help me??

Thanks, Dah•veed.
I did see mention of using Google Public DNS while I was searching the forums prior to posting, but to be honest didn't think it was a DNS-related problem.
However, to rule it out I've set the prefered DNS servers on my router to Google's, but FaceTime still disconnects after 4-5 seconds when calling between me and my brother-in-law. It doesn't matter who initiates the call.
As a test, before I made the changes to my router, I logged into FaceTime as him on my MBP and tried calling myself on my iMac, and that was successful.
The same test between the two iMacs when they were here was unsuccessful, so now I'm definitely thinking it's something on the '08 iMac.
Now I just need to figure out what...

Do i have to purchase FaceTime for mac to use FaceTime on this used macbook i just purchased
