Face time failure after loading Lion OS

Good day,
I have installed Lion OS on my Mac book air and soince then have been unable to use Face Time. I am able to access the apple store and this site but the face time is not logging on anymore. It used to be automatic when i opened the application! It asks for the ID the asks me to confirm the e mail address to operate from then the sever comes up with an ewrror and asks me to try later.
Face time works on both my I pad and I phone so the account is OK.
Any guidance on how to correct this would be appreciated.
Kind regards
Robert

If these are the OEM discs that the Mac shipped with what you need to is startup from the disc, choose Disk Utility and go to the erase tab  > Format Mac OS X Extended (Journaled), then click erase. Then, install from the disk.
Note: This will completely destroy any data on your hard drive.
EDIT: Don't use option-boot this time, choose the SL disk in System Preferences >Startup Disk

  • After loading Lion I cannot open some pictures. I get Unsupported Image Format. It tells me picture was taken with Canon EOS Rebel with unknown lens

    After loading Lion I cannot open open some pictures in Aperture. I get Unsupported Image Format, all files even the ones I can open are .JPG. Also it tells me picture was made using Canon EOS Rebel with unknown lens.

    You mention that 'most' of your files are DNG. Try
    running the effected files through Adobe DNG
    converter again and then import your reprocessed
    files to Aperture and see if the problem persists.
    I had a problem with a batch of D2x files converted
    to DNG which had been metadata tagged by
    PhotoMechanic (the evil app).
    B.T.W. You mention that you had been using Bridge.
    Are you getting any of the embedded XMP metadata
    coming into Aperture during the import process?
    Already tried that multiple times...no luck. I'm wondering though if it might be related to metadata as you suggest. I'm still trying different things to see what happens.
    I was able to alleviate the problem on one set of images by painstakingly searching my external drive for the oldest backups I could find - CR2 files from before DNG conversion. I then ran those through DNG Converter and tried importing them again (this time, I embedded NO thumbnail, but I'm not sure if that made the difference - I think it was more likely a fluke in the original conversion that caused the problem). This time, it worked.
    Now, the big problem is that I still have a couple hundred images for which I can't seem to locate the original CR2 files. I don't typically keep them after conversion, as I don't have the space for both.

  • After loading Lion 10.7 I'm no longer able to use Quicken 07. Any work around?

    After loading Lion 10.7 to my Desk Top, I'm no longer able to use my Quicken 07. Is there a work around? All my financial records are in Quicken 07 or do I need to remove Lion 10.7 from my computer

    Quicken is a PPC application. They will not work in Lion because Lion no longer supports Rosetta emulation.
    1. You can downgrade to Snow Leopard.
    2. You can switch to Quicken Essentials.
    3. You can purchase a different application that provides similar services for you. Examples are MoneyDance or MYOB.
    Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
    1.  Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard. I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.

  • After Loading Lion I now get 5 windows w/ a graphic of a Red Stop sign with an ! mark and the following text message: "DAVE Networking  Dave kernel extensions could not be loaded! Error 71 - Too many levels of remote in path."

    After Loading Lion I now get 5 windows w/ a graphic of a Red Stop sign with an ! mark and the following text message:
    "DAVE Networking 
    Dave kernel extensions could not be loaded! Error
    71 - Too many levels of remote in path."
    I have uninstalled DAVE and used Clean App to remove trace elements of program, however I still get the message and am unable to eliminate the error messages.  When I click OK the message goes away briefly and then comes back up.
    Any solutions would be great.

    Dave,
    Thanks....What I did was load the free eval version of Dave 9.0 and then used the uninstaller which must have deleted the kernel giving me the problem. 
    Thanks for the response.

    After loading Lion, I have been getting an error message "There was a problem connecting to the server.  URLs with the type "file:" are not supported."  There does not seem to be any actual problem with internet connectivity, but it is persistent and annoying.  Any idea of its cause and treatment?

    Pretty much the ipod is going to need to be repair. I would suggest taking it into the nearest Apple Store because they give you a 10% discount for older ipods towards a new ipod.

  • Quicktime not working after loading Lion. It is in Applications folder. It is dark when trying to play. Audio is there, no video. Is something set wrong?

    Quicktime not working after loading Lion. It is in Applications folder. It is dark when trying to play. Audio is there, no video. Is something set wrong?

    It is supposed to be dark.
    Is it all videos that don't display or just some. You may have installed something like Perian or Flip for Mac that translates the video codecs for Quicktime. They may need updating.

  • After loading Lion on my laptop, iTunes is trying to start automatically all the time.  Problem does not occur on desktop with Lion.

    The only way to reinstall Safari on a Mac running v10.7 Lion is to restore OS X using OS X Recovery
    Instead of restoring OS X in order to reinstall Safari, try troubleshooting extensions.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
    If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
    Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect:  Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
    If it's not an extension or plug-in issue, delete the cache.
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

  • After downloading iOS 8.1.3, lost the use of messaging and face time, shortly after my e-mail. Any suggestions?   Valo

    After downloading iOS 8.1.3, I lost the use of messaging, face time and shortly there after my e-mail. I changed and reset everything I could on my I-Pad... same result. It can't be my router or my provider, for my I-Pod touch works fine. Any suggestions?    Thanks, Val

    Hello there berczy,
    As I understand it, you are not able to use iMessage, FaceTime or any email service on your phone. Saying you've tried everything would generally make me recommend that you restore the phone from a backup but that can take a long time, so without knowing exactly what steps you have taken, I would like for you to review the troubleshooting in the following article for FaceTime and iMessage:
    If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime
    And to troubleshoot the Mail app, use this article:
    Get help with Mail on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

    Hi berczy,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing multiple issues with your iPad after updating. It sounds like you are on the right track, as all three of these tasks require an internet connection. To help isolate the issue further, are you able to open webpages in Safari? If not, we’ll need to troubleshoot the iPad’s network connection:

  • Are all the files I created in AppleWorks lost after loading Lion?

    Just loaded Lion - AppleWorks is incompatible - have I just lost all that data?

    tommccandless wrote:

    No, data is not lost.  Problem is, depending on which data, you may not have an easy upgrade path in Lion:
    Last call for AppleWorks users
         If you have a copy of iWork, you can easily open your word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation files in Pages, Numbers, and Keynote respectively. Select an AppleWorks word-processing file in the Finder, press Command-I to bring up the Info window, click on the Open With pop-up menu, and choose Pages from the list that appears. Click the Change All button and now all your AppleWorks word processing documents will open in Pages. Do the same thing with any AppleWorks spreadsheet files except choose Numbers instead. Similarly, for the six people who created and still keep AppleWorks presentation files, you can use this trick to open them in Keynote.
    Regrettably there’s no path nearly so easy for your AppleWorks database files. FileMaker has a tutorial that tells you how to move these files to Bento, but it’s inelegant. Essentially you save your file as ASCII text and add a .tsv extension to it. Then within Bento you choose File -> Import -> File, click Choose in the resulting Import window, and then select your .tsv file. You’ll lose your AppleWorks templates, but your data will move over.
    AppleWorks painting files can be converted to a variety of graphics formats including jpeg, .png, and TIFF. Regrettably this is something you have to do via a Save As command. You can’t simply change the file’s extension.
    And AppleWorks drawing files can be opened and edited with the $95 EazyDraw. It’s not an inexpensive option, but it’s one that doesn’t require that you futz about with converting files.
    Although this should go without saying, if you’re still using AppleWorks today to generate files and wish to stay current with Apple technology, it’s time to set AppleWorks aside and start using up-to-date tools. Continue using it and you’re only generating more work for your future self.

  • 7941 tftp failure after loading SCCP41.9-2-3S

    After loading 9.2.3S on CUCM 8.6.1, my phones will only update some of their config.
    I've looked at the settings on the phone and noticed the following.
    The ITL file is not there and  the TFTP server is not listed. The status messages show a TFTP error while trying to load the cnf.xml file.
    I'm able to set the alternate TFTP server on the phone, but it is deleted as soon as the phone resets. this is verified through the phone settings and the phone web page. the console logs also seem to confirm this.
    Any ideas anyone.

    Even though this is an old thread I though I would share what I found regarding this issue. It looks like this is a bug but only if the TFTP server has a 255 in the address. The workaround is to change the TFTP server IP. The bug is fixed in newer versions of the code. Here is the link.
