Facetime activity in console Macbook Air

I found Facetime activity in console on my Macbook Air. I have never used Facetime and nobody else has access to this Macbook as it is a work laptop. I have never used Facetime on any other device that I use my Apple ID for. Is there another app that accesses Facetime or is this an update? I don't want my employer to think that I am using Facetime on my company Macbook. Here is an excerpt from console of what I have found:

The first time that this showed up was on 12/19/14 at 1:15 am and I have had this Macbook since 6/14. Using Yosemite 10.10.2

Monagle,
Make sure that you have the date and time set properly on your MacBook Air. If the timezone settings are off, Facetime will not work. I surely hope that you can FT with your relatives in the "old Sod" before Christmas is over.

Facetime between iPad2 and MacBook Air worked fine here in the USA. The iPad2 is now in Rome, Italy and we can't connect internationally. We both can hear the caller ringing in, but after accepting the call we cannot connect. No voice, no video.

Facetime between iPad2 and MacBook Air worked fine here in the USA. The iPad2 is now in Rome, Italy and we can't connect internationally. We both can hear the caller ringing in and can see who is trying to call, but after accepting the call we cannot connect. No voice, no video. iPad is successfully sending and receiving eMails, but no Factime connection What's up?

I am curious if possibly the hotel has some sort of VOIP block on. Have you tried Skype? Did you talk to the hotel staff? My husband is traveling to Milan in a couple of days and I wonder if he will run into the same issue. He has had no problems from Istanbul but he is staying in a corporate apartment there. If you find an answer please post back. Thanks

My FaceTime Camera of my MacBook Air doesn't work in Skype.

My FaceTime Camera of my MacBook Air doesn't work in Skype. I try to make a videocall but my camera doesn't work.

Be sure to check PHOTOBOOTH and FACETIME in more than one user account. However, don't use the "Guest" account for testing. If your Mac only has one account, create a new user account for testing.
• If Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
   suggestions do not help you, (the "reset" suggested there
   often restores normal function,) continue with the following.
• Use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions and then
   download and apply the latest Combo Update, for your Mac OS,
   the current one is at: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1484
• Repair permissions again immediately following the system restart
   that completes the Combo update.
Properly applying the Combo version of updates can sometimes correct software problems, but, if your trouble is caused by a hardware problem, there are no user serviceable parts of iSight. For hardware help, contact an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
The same Troubleshooting help for built-in iSight works for FaceTime (and FaceTime HD) cameras, too.
If your camera works with Apple apps in every user account you test, search or post for help in Skype's dedicated forum. The Skype users who post there may have already know the solution for your particular problem.

Cannot receive and send from my FaceTime and iMessage on MacBook Air

Hello,
I Have Macbook Air (13-inch, late 2010) and its updated to OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)
processor 1.86 GHz intel core 2 duo
memory 2GB 1067 MHz DDR3
FaceTime and iMessage are not working I cannot receive or send.
my connection is excellent, I turned both of them off and on again on both my iPhone and macbook, all my contacts are synced and everything is fine except that I'm not able to make calls or send and receive messages on my mac.
what should I do ?
regards,
fiji

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. 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 in OS X 10.9 or earlier, 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 iMessage while in safe mode. FaceTime won't work. 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.

How do I answer a facetime call on my macbook air?

I received a factime call on my new MacBook Air laptop and was unable to answer it. It kept ringing but there was no place to either accept or decline the call as there is on my iPad 2. How do I answer a facetime call?
Also, how do I enlarge the image on the MacBook Air to get it to be full screen? I clicked the little green circle at the top of the image to maximize it, but it didn't do anything.

Facetime gets "FaceTime failed" error on Macbook Air

I have a Macbook Air with os x 10.9.2. I recently updated the security. Now my Facetime rings but I get a "FaceTime failed" error after trying to call. The receiving FaceTime does not even get a ring, and I don't get a ring when they call me.

Whenever I FaceTime on my new MacBook Air, the microphone stops working after a little while, how can I fix this?

I recently got a refurbished MacBook Air from Apple. Whenever I FaceTime, my microphone stops working, and the person on the other end can't hear me. I end up having to FaceTime them on my iPod Touch, which can be a bit frustrating. Are there any solustions to this?

Why does that seem likely to be a hardware issue? How did you come to that conclusion? Do you know something about this issue that indicates that? (I realise that this might sound short and rude - I am not trying to be rude here - just to understand) My thought is that conventional troubleshooting would say that this is a software issue because it is fixed with a restart.
I also have this problem. The camera quits working after some time - I have not been able to make it stop working. Sometimes it is after I suspend the computer (close the lid) other times it still works.
All I know is that intermittently my camera stops working and it is a big pain to have to reboot whenever I am going have a video chat.
Anyone got any solutions, I'm not covered by applecare so would rather try and fix it myself if possible?

How to change IMessage and FaceTime phone number on Macbook Air?

So I've just made the switch over to Apple computers from my forever relationship with Windows. I discovered that I can use IMessage and Factime on here but it links to not my Iphone, but to my father's whose is supposed to be on another itunes account but I'm not really sure. Sometimes IMessage in my Macbook will come across as my number, others my Dad's. My Iphone is on the itunes account that my Macbook is on but how do I make it so that the Imessage and Facetime go ONLY through MY phone? Sorry if this is confusing I'm not really sure what I should clarify. Thanks in advance!

Cannot get FaceTime to work on MacBook Air

I have looged into my FaceTime account as ******@Bellsouth.net. I bought my granddaugter in England an ipad2 for Christmas. She is looged into her FaceTime account as ******@Me.Com yet neither of us can talk to each other. We both are trying to connect to the other persons email address as above.
Any idea what's going on? I called AppleCare but they couldn't help.
Thanks

I just did a Google search and came up with this excellent article http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/the-complete-guide-to-facetim e-set-up-use-and-troubleshooting-problems/. I think my issue is with port forwarding. My modem assigns an address starting with 198 which, according to this article is a "double NAT" issue where the modem assigns an IP addres to my router and then my router assigns a static IP address to my MBA. Apparently FaceTime cannot deal with. I will have to try changing some settings within my modem to allow incoming traffic on certain ports that FaceTime uses to be directed to the LAN address of my MBA. Not too sure how to do that yet.

How can i get FaceTime back on my macbook air?

I accidentally moved the FaceTime from my dock to the trashcan and i emptied my trashcan. How can i get it back?

You can't actually delete FactTime from your Mac - it's a built-in App. Click on your LaunchPad, and you should see it there:

HBO GO won't activate on Apple TV but it's activated on my MacBook Air

I just uploaded the newest version of Apple TV and when I go to HBO GO it tells me I need to activate HBO GO and gives me an activation code. I already have an active HBO GO account on my computer but I went ahead and followed the steps I was told. Once I finished the steps, my computer said "SUCCESS.... you may now start streaming HBO GO on your Apple TV". Yeah. Not. I went back to HBO GO on my Apple TV and the same thing happened again, I was prompted to activate. Now I have done literally everything I can think of and I have been doing this for four hours, I have read blogs, apple community, Apple TV help, HBO GO help, you name it and nothing. I have also done the following:
I made sure my Apple TV and HBO GO are on the same network...Check
I logged out of HBO GO and logged back in...Nothing
I restarted both my computer and my Apple TV...Nothing.
I restored my Apple TV to it's factory settings...Nothing
I restored my Apple TV to it's factory settings AND went through the activation process again...Nothing
My cable provider is AT&T UVerse and is compatible and offers HBO GO on Apple TV. So what the heck?????
Can somebody PLEASE help?? All I want to do is start watching Empire Boardwalk from the beginning and its not on Netflix yet and I can't get back to season one on my cable. Additionally my Airplay playback is really slow if I try to watch it on my computer through Airplay!
Trust me...I've tried it all.

Hello red_kls,
You have done a lot of troubleshooting that I would have provided you and I do not like passing people off but because you are still having issues, then you may want to contact HBO for additional support.

FaceTime is hidden on my MacBook Air

Hello,
I have no FaceTime icon on my MacBook Air (OS X 10.8.5, bought 2012) and when I search for FaceTime in Spotlight or in the Finder nothing appears. But I just went to the App Store to try to buy the app and was told the FaceTime app already exists on my computer. How do I find it? Thanks

First, you may want to save files or groups of files to an external drive, for archiving. Using Finder windows, you will simply drag and drop files and folders to the external drive you wish to use. What you will be left with is files you want to keep, and those you want to delete.
The Next thing you want to do is evaluate the drive. The evaluation will indicate two things of importance. What files are taking up space, and how much is each one taking up. From this, you will simply prioritize and implement removal.
There is Onyx, Daisy Disk, and Grand Perspective to evaluate disk usage and find files suitable for deletion.
I personally like Grand Perspective. From the interface, you can san your hard drive, then click on files, represented by boxes of varying size (indicating relative file size and name), and then hit a button titled "delete", to move them to the trash.
Lastly, you empty your trash.

I have an macbook air and iPad 2. Then I upgraded to OS X YOSEMITE everything when downhill . it will not finish downloading and could not even used my FaceTime . Help pls.

To Whom It May Concern,
I have a MacBook Air, Ipad 2 everything was fine. Then I upgraded it to OS X Yosemite , everything when downhill, can not even use FaceTime . i have tried everything. Can somebody help me out on this please. Thank you.

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
How to Clean Install OS X Yosemite
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
