Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Don't post any more log extracts; just test. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Face Time won't verify on either iPhone 4S or iPad 2

    Face time on either device will not verify my email address,which is the same MobileMe account I use for iTunes, email etc. I have see other people have problems with face time but none of the solutions have worked so far. Thanks for any suggestions.

    Have gone here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3510 but none of that applies - I only have one apple ID. I have tried to set up a new apple email address, and have tried to use my work email (non-apple).
    I have just discovered I can receive a Face Time call on my iPhone but not on iPad, and can dial out on facetime on iphone, but it still won't accept my email address. On my iPhone contacts I have the option to call using face time but not on iPad.

    I have two email accounts and would like to link face Time to both of them.. I tried to "add aanother email" but got an error message on verification saying the email is already in use.  It is.. by me!  Is there any way I can add the second email account for Face Time on all my devices ( Pro, mini and phone 5)?

  • Can't download the latest iTunes. A window pops up... The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs. No iTunes now.

    Can't download the latest iTunes. A window pops up... The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs.
    Now, iTunes won't launch and can't be updated. Please help.
    If I have lost my music collection I will be switching platforms ASAP. It is insane that Apple has updates seemingly every day for their products.

    I was in your same situation with 14 downloads and 14 attempts. 
    You have to make sure that your Mac is booting into 64 bit mode.  You can make sure of this by going into System Preferences and scrolling down to 'Software' and making sure that you are booding with 64 bit Kexts. 
    If not, restart while holding the 6 and 4 keys down until you see the spinning gear wheel and try installng again. 
    BUT, what I also did was to go into Applications, click on the Lion installer, Get Info, and give yourself custom priviliges to Read And Write. 
    I did this simultaneously, and I don't know what function did it, but it worked for me, with no further downloads of the installer. 
    Good luck!

  • OS X Mavericks, problems with all apps, can not open App Store, messages, contacts, face time etc... only safari, iTunes, mail can be opened....

    Can not open App Store, messages, contacts, face time, contacts, photo booth etc... only safari, iTunes, mail can be opened.... help me.

    Lanny here are the startup key sequences on wired keyboards to know for future reference:
    SHIFT - safe boot.
    command-S single user mode to run fsck
    command-R to run a recovery boot.
    command-option-P-R to reset the PRAM on Macs younger than 4 years, or whose PRAM battery is younger.
    command-option-O-F to boot into open firmware.
    D key to boot hardware test on an Intel Mac - for pre-July 20, 2011 Macs, this means having the original installer discs.
    Option key - Startup Manager.
    Option = Alt key on Windows keyboards.
    Command key may be Windows key on Windows keyboards, or cloverleaf or Apple logo key on Apple keyboards.
    Other startup sequences are here:

  • The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs.

    How can I solve this? Every time I have the option to update an application I receive the same notification: "The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs"

    Can we eliminate one minor possibility: are you in the UK and using Virgin Media cable connection? I ask because the latest 'Superhub' firmware is corrupting large downloads for some people.

  • I have just created an apple ID to use face time, however when I try to log in I get the message 'email already verified' and can't move on.

    I have just created an apple id to use face time. However whenI try to log in I get the message 'email already verified' and then can't move on.
    Can anyone help please.

    You must create the account using an Apple device, a Mac (Lion or greater) or an IOS device (IOS5 or greater). Having done that you will be able to sign in from your Windows machine.
    FYI, iCal is an application that can display calendars from iCloud (and others) it is not a calendar itself, merely a calendar client. In Windows Outlook is the calendar client.

  • New ipad mini face time issue"unable to verify email because already in use"

    My daughter had to get a new iPad mini because her battery went out. Now when she tries to face time with the new mini it says  "unable to verify email because already in use". Any suggestions on how to correct without having to create. New email address? I'm a novice Apple user. Thanks for the help headed on a 3 week trip and want to be able to FaceTime with family back home.

    Hi there,
    It sounds like you may have more than one Apple ID that shares the same email address. I would recommend taking a look at the article below for more information on how to get this resolved.

    What IP does your iPad show as having?
    Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo.
    Some folks have discovered that changing their DNS service fixes FaceTime connection issues.
    The ideal way is to configure your modem/router with DNS service, but often settings in System Preferences/Network on your Mac will override the router settings. Try either of these;
    OpenDNS
    208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220
    Google Public DNS
    8.8.8.8. 8.8.4.4
