Facetime: address could not be verified

Hello,
I can't login to Facetime. I type my mail address and my password, but Facetime says that my mail address could not be verified. An email with a verification link shall be sent to me. But about 30 seconds later, Facetime again pops up a window in which it says: Email-address could not be verified. Check your network connection and try it again. But my internet connection is O.K. And there has not come any verification mail yet.
My login data is working very well with iTunes. Can anyone help me?

    I have the same problem. FaceTime works fine on my iMac but when trying to use FaceTime on my Macbook Air, I have the same issue you describe.

  • Your computer could not be verified Mac App Store and FaceTime

    Hi All
    I've been trying through several forums for a long time to find a solution for my problem before giving up, I'll go down to the point:
    I have an iMac Intel 20" early 2008 (I can provide more detailed specs when required). I am using Mac OSX Lion installed from a usb and prior used Snow Leopard. They problem has been consistent thru all versions, same symptoms, same all.
    1. Whenever I try to login to Mac App Store I get the famous: "your computer could not be verified, please contact support for assistance". FaceTime also does not login, promptying a "server error, try later".
    2. Contacted support, and after 16 emails back and forth all I was told at the end was: "I am able to log in into your mac app store account from this side after resetting your account,is there anything I can do for you today".... (!!!!????)
    3. There has been a problem parallel to that, and although I am not sure they are related anyhow I need to point it out. My ethernet port stopped working and there is no way to create any connection through it. I can still use wireless quite well (reason why I still keep my machine). After sending the machine to repairs, diagnose was that it could be a problem on the logic board and to fix it may require to replace LB entirely. So I decided not to go for it and keep the machine only with wireless connection.
    So I have tried every single solution found (so far...) on google and forums to no avail: a) deleting .plist, b) resetting network configs and creating new locations, c) resetting PRAMs (not sure if it solve anything, but tried anyway) and others. The problem still persists with the same symptoms.
    I can login into iTunes store and buy applications from computer, iPhone and iPad, which makes me think that my credentials are valid, alas, I logged into this forum using them.
    I also tried creating a new account at App Store, when I request it through the Application, the "little fan that advises you to wait" appears, but suddenly dissapear with no warning or message at all (!!!!????). It is like you never requested anything in first place.
    Obviously I can still use my machine for internet and stuff, but my ability to purchase/use any Apple software is seriously restricted. I cannot purchase any software anymore if AppStore is going to be the main way to acquire it (which I think it will).
    So, my big questions are:
    1) Is this hardware problem (ethernet, logic board, connection ports) remotely related to the machine authentication process when using MacApp Store and FaceTime through Apple?
    2) Is there a way to fix this through software, before I consider replacing the machine? (Please take into account that I have already tried TS1811, deleting .plist files, resetting network, creating new locations from scratch... I basically searched thoroughly on google, forums and tips and tried all reasonable found recommendations before posting).
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks Livia and Huevoos (eggs??) for your interest in this post.
    In a nutshell, I haven't been able to solve this. I gave up on Apple support after they proved useless.
    As Huevoos suggested, and I confirmed it time and again after browsing thru endless forums, it seems that the user validation routine for the Mac App Store is done by looking into your network settings, which in my case are either incomplete or erroneous due to the broken-down ethernet. (I am still waiting for somebody more experienced in this forum to contradict or explain this).
    So, because I still have wireless connection, I can use my machine for day-to-day chores, have not been able to purchase anything up to this date in the Mac App Store though. I'm waiting for either a software update that could correct this (Mountain Lion??? there's no guarantee only hope) or the moment when my machine will need to be replaced by a new one with a functional ethernet.
    I'm sorry I can't be of more help. But I'm pretty much in the same situation as you guys.
    Live long and prosper.

  • FaceTime Activation Could not sign in

    Hi,
    i bought ipod touch 4g for facetime.
    and i can't activate it!
    it stops on ipod>settings>Facetime='FaceTime Activation, Could not sign in. Please Check your network connection and try again.'
    i have used all the solutions for facetime but all in vain.
    1) Time and date settings Check (even change them and again corrected)
    2) All Ports are open verified with simple port tester (on windows 7 off course i changed the ip address)Ports are open.
    3) My Apple id is email (not ME one) contain combination of alpha numeric,small and capital.
    4) Restore 2/3 times ios 4.2.1
    5) Tried DNS Setting to Google's 8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4
    6) Created New ID in facetime and password entered carefully!
    7) Tried 3 apple IDs (i don't like this But i wanted to run facetime)
    i also have Iphone 4 facetime works great on it! i love this feature!
    i tried to install Tango on Ipod! it installed but stops responding connecting (on Ipod touch 4), so tango also not working. i am just informing about tango. I want facetime to wrok.
    Please Help me! I think this is from Apple server side problem!
    Thanks in Advance

    You may want to ask your question under a new discussion thread so you can be the Original Poster(OP) there. You will continue to receive emails from the other threads you have posted to. I think it will allow folks responding to focus on your particular situation. Also you will have to post your troubleshooting results only once.
    Now that you are past the FaceTime login step, where are you in the troubleshooting steps in the iOS:Using FaceTime article at http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/facetime/?
    Again, if you can ask and answer in a new thread/topic, that would be great.

  • I am using Mac OS X 10.7.5 as of now and when I am trying to upgrade to Mavericks, it is throwing error "The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or not signed".

    I am using Mac OS X 10.7.5 as of now and when I am trying to upgrade to Mavericks, the App Store is throwing error "The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or not signed".
    Is there anything I should do differently? Is anyone else facing the same issue?
    Kindly help.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac. 
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing. 
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. 
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands. 
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply. 
    Launch the Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid. 
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign. 
    Step 1 
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -ef 
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting. A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
    Step 2 
    Repeat with this line:
    { sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; echo; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; echo; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -ef 
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. 
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step. 
    Step 3
    { launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; echo; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -ef 
    Step 4
    ls -A /e*/{cr,la,mach}* {,/}Lib*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -ef  
    Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting. 
    Step 5
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of login items' | open -ef 
    Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output. 
    You can then quit Terminal.

  • Configuration could not be verified error when connect to Cox

    Hi,
    I'm trying to connect to Cox but keep getting the "configuration could not be verified" error. I can access my Cox account through web mail and I've retyped and retried my email address and password enough times to be confident that it's correct. I've also verified my account settings (incoming/outgoing server and ports) with Cox support, and I've checked the my firewall and antivirus settings (norton 360). No luck with anything.
    I'd really appreciate any thoughts anyone has!
    Thanks,
    David

    I should have added that my Cox connection has been set up several years now with no problems but suddenly quit working. I checked everything I know to check, including firewall settings, and finally deleted email account and tried to set it up again. Still getting the same error.

  • Configuration could not be verified - is the username or password wrong?

    I run Windows 7 Professional 32 bit. Downloaded and installed Tbird 31.1.1 today.
    Logged in to my Gmail account using copy and paste of my username and password from a file. I enabled IMAP. Logged out of my Gmail account.
    Turned off Windows Firewall. My task bar is red at me with 1 important message: Windows Security Center Service (Important) The Windows Security Center service is turned off.
    I have no antivirus software installed other than Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE.) I went to Control Panel | Programs and looked, finding nothing. This was to be expected because I haven't installed antivirus software before.
    Restarted in Safe Mode with networking, which seems to turn off MSE.
    Back in TB, I clicked Create a new account: Email. Entered my name, Google E-mail address, Google password. I used copy and paste to enter the same Gmail address and password that worked for my login minutes previously. It autopopulated the fields. I clicked Done. After a few seconds, got the error message:
    Configuration could not be verified - is the username or password wrong?
    So with no antivirus software, no firewall, and restarted in safe mode, what is the problem?
    Thanks.

    I tried again today without success. I have been able to get Tbird to download mail from a non-Gmail provider but not send messages with this non-Gmail account.
    I have enabled 2-factor authentication in Gmail for this account. I followed the instructions from Toad Hall at 9/20/14 1:28 PM here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1020778
    I got the password from Google and went to Tbird. I went to Tools | Options | Security | Passwords and deleted all the Gmail entries. I shut down and restarted Tbird. I highlighted the Gmail account I created and hit F5. Nothing at all happened. I deleted the account and tried to recreate the account again. I got the familiar error message that Tbird cannot set up the Gmail account. So now what?

  • Configuration could not be verified

    I have tried installing, uninstalling, reinstalling Thunderbird five times now. Each time I go through the set up of an existing email account (since it WAS working for like 2 years until suddenly yesterday it wouldn't retrieve messages no matter what I tried). Contacted my hosting company to no avail. I can log into my webmail account through them (myurl.com/webmail) using my user name and password just fine.
    When I go through set up, I click use an existing account then manual configuration because the outgoing mail port the host uses is 25 and my user name is the full email address, not just the first part of it. I get the error that says "Configuration could not be verified - is the username or password wrong?" No. Neither. I've reentered it probably 20 times. Using IMAP not POP. Always used IMAP.
    The computer this is happening on is running Windows 8. I tried installing it on a laptop at home that is running Windows 7 and everything worked fine. Like I said, this was working fine until yesterday. This Windows 8 computer is a 64-bit operating system, x-64 based processor.
    Any ideas?

    sounds like a firewall issue or anti virus ( they are indistinguishable really as most problems are anti virus firewalls anyway.)
    Restarting the Machine in safe mode with Networking will disable anti virus firewalls and mail scanning and you will probably get on Ok. Let me know!

  • Itunes update aborts - error "signature could not be verified"

    I have attempted several times to download and install the latest iTunes update (11.2).  The install keeps aborting with the error message "itunes signature could not be verified."  I tried downloading only, and still get a similar error message.  Please don't ask me for the error message number - I didn't record it. 
    I am running iTunes on Windows 8.  I've been able to install previous updates since migrating to a Windows 8 machine.  Is this a known issue?  If so, how do I solve it?

    I notice this has happened with previous versions of iTunes as well as previous versions of Windows.  I don't see any posts as yet about 11.2.  Am attempting to download via the Apple website as suggested in replies to previous instances of this error.  I will let you all know the result.  I'd really like to know WHY this happens!  Is it related to iTunes or Windows?  If someone could explain in reasonable layperson's terms, that would be helpful.  This is obviously a known issue for quite some time (posts going back to 2010-2011); why hasn't it been addressed?  We should be able to download iTunes updates from within iTunes!
    Thanks!

  • PayPal account could not be verified

    I'm trying to set up payment processings. When I put in my e-mail address and click Register account I get a message saying " The PayPal account could not be verified. I know it's the correct e-mail address and I have used it to collect payments on other sites. Any idea what the problem is?

    Hi,
    I checked our server log. It appears that at the time when you clicked the Register Account button, your FormsCentral sign-on cookie had been expired, therefore our server rejected the Register Account request.
    Please log out from FormsCentral and log in again, then open your form and try to register your PayPal account again. Please let me know if this does not work to you.

  • SQL version could not be verified error while installing the SCOM 2012 R2 reporting component

    I have the below SCOM server roles in my SCOM 2012 R2 set up

    2) All the DB servers with SQL 2012 SP1

    4) Success fully installed all the components except SCOM reporting.
    While installing the SCOM 2012 R2 reporting component on DB2 ( Iam running this set up on the server where I instllaed the SQL DB engine and reportin services in Native mode. Configured the SQL reporting database and reporting URLs successfully in SQL reporting
    configuration manager) getting the below error in the Rporting server instance page. Kindly advise.
    I ran mofcomp.exe and there is no firewall restrictions. My account also has DB owner & sysadmin permissions.

    Hi,
    As far as I know, after installing SSRS, we don't need to configure the database and reporting URLs manully. When we install the reporting service for SCOM, it will configure those automatically.
    If possible, you may re-install SSRS and then install SCOM reporting service.

  • After getting the dreaded gray/blue screen, I tried to run disk repair on the internal disk. I got an error message saying "Disk Utility can't repair this disk and restore your backed-up files. The volume Macintosh HD could not be verified completely

    After getting the dreaded gray/blue screen, I tried to run disk repair on the internal disk. I got an error message saying "Disk Utility can't repair this disk and restore your backed-up files. The volume Macintosh HD could not be verified completely." What do I do now? This is an iMac and I'm running 10.6.8.

    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
    the drive and everything on it. See below for how to clone a drive.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. 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.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
             username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
             Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
             install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process by opening Software
             Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
    You may be able to backup your data if you have an erased external drive you can use. Before you do the above but after you have opened Disk Utility you can try to clone your drive:
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
      1. Open Disk Utility.
      2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
      3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
           it to the Destination entry field.
      5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
          the Source entry field.
      6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
    Now this will only work if the drive is accessible and can be cloned by Disk Utility. Otherwise, you would need to access your drive from another Mac that you can connect via Firewire - Target Disk Mode.
