Face time wouldn't start
Face Time wouldn't start. I get a message "Error Occurred. Please try again".
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

Trying to set up Face Time and cant sign in because my Face Time Prefs are always greyed out.
As I understand your response, FaceTime seems to be the only trouble you are having.
The next things to try (in this order) are:
(1) Use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions. Then reinstall your FaceTime app.
• Repair permissions again immediately following the reinstall. Then test FT function.
• If the FT problem continues, try (2) as follows.
(2) Try relevant Apple troubleshooting: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
(Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD." Regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)
• Be sure to test more than one Apple app in more than one user account.
• If those suggestions do not help you, (the "reset" suggested there
often restores normal function,) continue with the following.
• Restart Mac and then use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions.
Now download and apply the latest Combo Update for your Mac OS 10.6:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
• Repair permissions again immediately following the system restart
that completes the Combo update.
Properly applying the Combo version of updates can sometimes cure software problems.

when using face time when we start to move slightly the other people say that the picture goes fuzzy.
See if any of theses ideas reduce the severity of your problem:
(1) Add as much light as possible for best possible camera picture. The camera slows down in dim light.
(2) Check connection speed at both ends using http://speedtest.net/ (iOS app available)
Broadband speed is a must. 384kBps or more at both ends for better pictures.
(3) Shut down everything and restart in order: modem, router, iOS device.
Let each device self-test complete before starting the next.
(4) Restart or reset your iPad http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430

FaceTime is accessed through the contacts app unless you purchased your phone from a country in the Middle East as FaceTime has been forbidden by those governments.

I 've had the newest iPad for about one week. Just started using face time..why does face time camera take pixelated pictures? The iSight camera pictures look fine.
Kathleenfromks wrote: ...why does face time camera take pixelated pictures? ...
Because something is wrong.
You will need to troubleshoot to find out what needs to be fixed.
One of these suggestions may resolve your trouble.
FaceTime (and other video) quality problems can be caused by problems at either end of the connection. Unless your video callers' FaceTime connections work properly with everyone else but you, both parities to the video call should consider these possibilities.
(1) Restart your iPad and test again. Sometimes a simple restart fixes things.
(2) Use a fast broadband internet connection for best possible FaceTime video.
Broadband speed matters at BOTH ends, so you use something like http://speedtest.net/ to test both ends of your video connections.
Speeds less than 300 Kbps (up and down) at both ends are unlikely to give best results.
(3) Try from a different wi-fi connection.
If the problem is ONLY at your current location, restarting your internet connection may help. Shut down your iPad or turn Airplane Mode "on". Then check your cable connections, restart your modem and wireless access point, reconnect iPad to the wi-fi, and test again.
If the problem remains but ONLY at your current location, there may be a problem with your internet service. Contact your ISP for help.
(4) Always use as much light as possible for best images (including video) from your iPad.

Wouldn't it be awesome if you could leave a message with Face Time?
When someone misses a face time call, I wish I could leave a video message for them.
Tell Apple, not us.
