Facetime between MacBook Air and iPad2 worked only one time, then hasn't worked since..

My husband and I are trying to use Facetime since we are living apart this summer.  It worked once before I left town, but hasn't worked since then.
I have a MacBook Air, OSX 10.6.7
He has an iPad 2
Both have Facetime set up.  We share the apple Id between the machines, but the apple id has been deleted as a contact email from the iPad. 
The Air can call the iPad; but when my husband tried to accept the call, it just keeps saying "connecting" or something like this.  The call doesn't go thru.
The iPad cannot seem to reach the Air (I don't see that the iPad has called me).
I am often using a university wifi system, so i thought firewalling might be a problem, but my roommate doesn't have an issue with it for her facetime (she is using an iPad).
Any ideas?

Update:  Above roommate just tried Facetime with me (she has an iPad).  The exact same thing happened as with my husband...my call to her showed on her iPad but the call didn't connect.  Her call to me didn't even show up on my machine.  So, it appears to be an issue with my MacBook Air...

  • How can I change the space between a checkbox and text all at one time? I have a lot of checkboxes in my form.

    How can I change the space between a checkbox and text all at one time? I have a lot of checkboxes in my form.

    Okay, I haven't found a way to add an extra space using Find/replace, but you might be able to add some text wrap to the check boxes that will push the text away from them.
    Open Find/Replace and click the Object tab.
    Click the Specify attributes to find button to the right of the Find Object Format: field.
    Under Basic Attributes, choose Stroke and then the Black swatch (assuming the black swatch is applied to the strokes of your check boxes). If there are no other stand-alone objects in your form with a Black stroke, this should be all you need. (If there are Black strokes on your table cells, they will be ignored.)
    Click OK
    Click the Specify attributes to change button to the right of the Change Object Format: field.
    Under Basic Attributes, choose Text Wrap & Other > Text Wrap > Type: > Wrap around bounding box (2nd button from left)
    Under Offset, set a Right offset at the distance you'd like to add (I don't know what units you use, but the 3-5 points might work for your purposes...might take some trial-and-error to get it where you want)
    Click OK

    Your code has very little to do with what you are describing.
    There is no button with "switch until released" mechanical action. (OK is switch when released, stop is latch when released)
    A case structure always "works". Are you saying that it should execute e.g. the true case only once whenever the outer case goes from false to true??
    Your inner case goes true more than once per run of the program (whenever the OK goes true). If it should really only work once overall, use the "first call?" primitive. You need to formulate the problem using less ambiguous words.
    There is no obvious starting state for the boolean that you read via local variables. How do you ensure that it start with a known value? Does it matter?
    You seem to entirely deal with integers, so why are you using floating point representation for the numerics?
    What is the purpose of the orange numeric indicator. Is it just a kludge for your logic or does its value mean anything?
    Why does your loop not contain any wait?
    At this point, you should learn about shift registers. It would eliminate all your local variables.

  • Can you give me some ideas on which to buy between macbook air and macbook pro?

         I am going to start another year in college very soon and I need a laptop to handle my school work or projects. I don't know what to choose between Macbook Air 13" (2013) and Macbook Pro 13" (RAM 8GB - Not Retina Display). Here are what I need to do on computer:
         - Long time surfing through the internet.
         - Social network : Facebook, Instagram, Line, Skype ....
         - Watching movies online (mayb more than 3-4 hours)
         - Typing documents or making slide shows.
         - A lot of documents, HD videos/movies, photos and music.
         - Using some graphic/plan design programs such as CorelDraw, Photoshop, Illustrator, AutoCad and so on. (Monthly but I still have to use it.)
         - Games are no needed cuz m not a gamer.
         That's all or maybe more, but I can't think of right now. My money is around 1500$. If you guys think I might need Air, should I configure it to match my expectations? I hope to having some good ideas from you. Thanks in advanced.

    Ive got BOTH the Pro and AIr youre interested in, for what YOU say you want, Id get the Air.
    Since you said you were only going to "some graphic/plan design programs", the Air is perfect for moderate Photo editing.
    and you said no games.
    Air has fewer parts, only one moving part (the fan), lite as an Ipad (almost) but a full powered computer.
    No HD heads to crash, fewer parts = simplicity = less to fault.  
    Runs cooler than anything else out there (which = durability).  Heat is a killer on a scale of 10X over that of accidents.
    Pack around a regular notebook around about 20 days, then an Air, .....after that the standard laptops stays at home.    
    Air is the only Mac that has Haswell, 802ac wifi, and incredible 12hr. batt life in 13" I5.
    Get the 13" much longer battery life, and the screen real estate is better, Ive owned both 11" and 13".     13" also has an SD card slot the 11" doesnt have.

    thats what I do, easy.

  • Sync workflow between MacBook Air and another Mac

    I'm curious how people with two Macs keep their MacBook Air and other Mac in sync with each other. For example, how do you keep Address Book, iCal, and the word processing documents in sync so that you don't end up with multiple versions across two computers or the wrong data.

    I don't know if the way I do it is the most efficient way, as I posted a similar question here once and didn't get replies. For regular files / documents, I put my MBA on the desk next to MBPro and enable "file sharing" on both computers, then with the Air I click on the shared computer name listed in the Finder, in my case lt lists Mac Book Pro and then all the files from the Pro ore shown on my Air and I can just drag and drop onto my Air desktop. Once I click out of the shared computer, I then drag that file to wherever I want it.
    As far as ICal and contacts, the way I have been doing it is to keep my IPod Touch and the MBPro syncd together with all the iTunes junk and also my calendars and contacts and then at the end of the day I sync those two and then plug the Touch into the Air and it also keeps it updated on calendars and contacts. I would like to learn an easier more direct way but I don't want to buy 3rd party software of mess with .Mac

  • Airdrop Problem between Macbook Air and iPhone 5

    Why cant i find my iphone 5 (using ios7), in the airdrop section in my macbook air's (using os x mavericks) finder? My iphone 5 is already set to be visible to everyone. My iphone 5 cant find my macbook air as well. Please help me.

    AirDrop for OS X works over Wi-Fi, and AirDrop for iOS works over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, so they use different systems.
    This means that you cannot use AirDrop to transfer files between an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch and a Mac. Instead, you can only use AirDrop on your iPhone to transfer files to other iPhones, iPads and iPods touch, and AirDrop on your Mac to transfer files to other Macs

    Hi. I have an iPad 3 and the new Macbook Air. I am using the latest versions on both my devices.  When i connect my ipad via the cable it connects and disconnects immediately, and this keeps on happening again and again and again. I have tried both the USB ports and have the same error. My iPhone chares and connects perfectly on my air on the same ports as do all other devices.
    The iPad charges fine and also sycs via any other computer so for the life of me i cannot figure it out. Please help!
    Thanks.

    This only works for purchases made once this is enabled.
    For previous purchases launch the iTunes app on the iPad or iPhone and select more and then purchased to download.

  • IMessage stopped syncing between MacBook Air and iPhone 5

    Hello,
    Until the weekend my iMessages synced between iphone and MacBook Air, but from Monday I have been sending and receiving iMessgaes from my phone which never arrive at the MacBook.  I didn't get the iOS upgrade till yesterday so it's not that, and haven't knowingly made any other changes over the weekend.  I've checked both setups and both are syncing using my phone number plus 3 email addresses.
    Can anyone tell me how to fix it please?

    Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so:
    Apple - My Apple ID
    Sign out of iMessage on the Mac:
    Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out
    Sign out on the iPhone
    Settings ▹ Messages ▹ Send & Receive ▹ Apple ID ▹ Sign out
    Then, on the phone, tap Use Your Apple ID for iMessage.
    Sign back into iMessage on both devices and test.

  • Can I hard wire a link between Macbook Air and Mac Pro?

    My Macbook Air currently connects to my office network using WiFi.
    But for some reason it takes 20 hours to load new software onto the Air using disc sharing from my Mac Pro, the fastest of my desktops.
    The transfer is over Wi-Fi and involves several Gb of data, but it seems excessively slow.
    Is there any way of hard-wiring the Air to the Pro to allow faster installation?
    The Air has both Thunderbolt and USB sockets, whilst the Pro has USB and Firewire.
    Many thanks,
    Bristly Badger

    I would suggest to use a Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter with the Air. Disconnect the MacPro from the Network, simply connect the cable to the MacBook Air's Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter instead. Wait a few seconds until both computers have picked self-assigned IP Addresses, and the shared disk should show up on the MacBook Air. Speed will be 100MB/s. In other words, 10GB will transfer in two minutes. (If the Pro's disks can keep up, that is...)

  • How to unsync messages between macbook air and my iPhone

  • How to share photos between macbook air and iphone5s

    What is the easiest way to transfer photos from my iphone 5s to my macbook air, wirelessly.  I have wifi in the house and not really sure how to use the icloud.  Thoughts?  Thank you so much.

    Hi there Braeth,
    There are a couple of ways of accomplishing this. You can either sync them directly to your computer via iTunes, or use iCloud to sync your photos via PhotoStream. I have linked some resources below for how to get everything set up.
