Facetime Connection Issues - Mountain Lion

I upgraded to Mountain Lion - Facetime worked - it didn't before on Lion.
Symptoms are Facetime rings and then just sits there 'connecting...'
Thought the upgrade to Mountain Lion solved the problem, but now it's back! Have turned Facetime on and off, changed email address, changed DNS, all to no avail.
Can anybody offer any suggestions?
TIA
Andrew

I'm having the same issue with a mid 2007 iMac.  I've deleted all the plist for facetime, logged in and out a few times, turned facetime on and off a few times, and restarted the system.  So, everytime I've tried to make a facetime call the receiving party's computer facetime program doesn't come on.  Everytime someone calls me via facetime on my iMac, the call will ring but never picks up.  Also, the receiving party's computer is another imac with lion.  Any ideas.  Thanks.

    In case of lost internet connection during mountain lion download from app store, do i have to start over?

    How do I speed this up.  I have a fast internet connection but this is obviously not right. 
    The speed of the downlaod is dependant on the speed of your Internet connection. "I have a fast Internet connection...," doesn't actually mean anything unless you provide some numbers.
    I have a cable Internet connection with 32 Mbps download speeds, but if you have DSL, you would probably be limited to 1.5 Mbps. Some would call both of these connections "fast," but obviously one is faster than the other.
    What is the speed of your Internet connection?? Don't say, "fast."

  • I'm having FaceTime connectivity issues

    I'm having FaceTime connectivity issues. Every time I FaceTime other apple user the connections drops right away.

    Well I'm here to own up.  My dad was over today and he has an iPad 2 with iOS 7.1.1 and mine ran 6.1.2.  Over the table both on my wifi I tried to call him on facetime and he tried to call me, in both cases it failed due to lost connection as previously discussed.  He said they had used it to call my brother in england yesterday with no issue.
    I bit the bullet and decided with extreme reluctance to do the upgrade.  I did a full backup whilst downloading the update on my windows pc and after the sync I applied the update.  Luckily for apple's sake the facetime connection now works both ways but I'm still left with this hideously atrocious UI color scheme.  I can however report that i can see no noticable reduction in performance so far.  As per suggested on some sites I disabled automatic downloads & updates and tweaked the accessibility settings to "reduce motion" and "increase contrast" including enabling button shapes and reducing white point.  Everything seems to work fine and Thankfully I don'rt feel like I have a hobbled device.  Clearly something between 7.0 and 7.1.1 has brought iPad 2 back up to speed so to speak.
    Oh and I still hate you Apple, cheers.

  • Ipad SONOS app not connecting since Mountain Lion upgrade

    Hi,
    Since upgrading to mountain lion, my sonos system only works from the SONOS application on the mac mini connected to the router to which a SONOS Bridge is hooked, via LAN. All my other SONOS apps (either ipad or macbook air) cannot connect to the SONOS bridge, even after resetting them.
    I also had an issue with screensharing between the mac mini and the macbook air (both on Mountain Lion), since upgrading, which was resolved thanks to this forum... and was hoping resolving this would have resolved the SONOS issue as well... not the case.
    So anyone with an idea what to do would be welcome! Happy to provide any other information that would be needed to help me out!
    Sebastien
    P.S. I assume the SONOS system is not the issue, all SONOS apps and firmware are updated to the latest versions, and as mentioned above, I can control the SONOS equipment via the mac mini app... but just that one.

    Were you running os x 10.6 before the upgrade?
    Anyway photoshop cs2 won't work on mountain lion because cs2 is a PowerPC application
    and mountain lion can only run intel applications natively like photoshop cs3-cc.
    If you were using 10.6, then you were using rossetta, an application that allowed some powerpc programs to run on an intel mac and mountain lion doesn't have rossetta.
    The current versions of photoshop available from adobe are photoshop cs6 and photoshop cc, but since cs2 is out
    of the upgrade loop now, so you need to either buy the full version of photoshop cs6 or subscribe to photoshop cc.

  • Loosing internet connection after Mountain Lion update

    Hi,
    I'm working with a MBP 2012 model.
    After the update to Mountain Lion, the MBP is loosing the internet connection now and then.
    I've did a PRAM reset, but the issue is still present.
    Are there any tips oder way to solve the issue?
    Thank so far

    I'm having the same problem on my brand new 2012 Macbook Pro with Mountain Loin. After being online for a while, Safari or Chrome will just stop connecting to the interent, even though everything says it's connected. I don't have this problem with other computers on the same network that are not upgraded to Mountain Lion yet.
    If I restart the computer, it works again for a while.
    Very frustrating.

  • Magic Mouse tracking poorly and losing Bluetooth connectivity since Mountain Lion upgrade

    Since upgrading to Mountain Lion I have experienced frequent and inconsistant tracking from my Magic Mouse. It will work fine and then out of no where, and without any connection to a particular app or process (that I can identify) it will begin stop moving or move in a very jittery fashion. I'm also experiencing Bluetooth connection loss with the mouse from time to time out of nowhere. I cleaned the mouse and even went to so far as to replace it with another, brand new Magic Mouse and have seen the same problem.
    I have also tried resetting PRAM and SMC.
    Anyone else experiencing this or a similar issue? Have any suggestions of things to try?
    Mac Pro (Early 2008)
    Processor  2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    Memory  26 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
    Graphics  ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB
    Software  OS X 10.8 (12A269)

    Well , regarding of this issue i did some tests and i've reached to some conclusions to fix it.
    Steps
    1. turn off the magic mouse
    2. remove batteries
    3. put everything back and power on.
    4. pair your mouse again if you remove it from the tab
    5. leave the option discoverable marked down
    6. add to favorite from bluetooth menu (you will see a red heart with yes )
    7. should work for now
    Test 1 : Mac mini 2010 with OSX Lion 10.7.4
    Test 2 : MBA 2012 with OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.1
    Conclusion : still have a bug not showing the right battery level (only 100%)but if you use "iStat" widget you will see the real level.
    Magic mouse doesn't have, unfortunatelly the multipoint technology so if you use on multiple cpu in the same area can create instability (leave only one of a time and remove it from the bluetooth tab on other cpu)
    I belive its working only using step 6, but to be sure

  • Server Connections Interrupted - Mountain Lion, latest client and server upgrade

    Hello,
    I have seen several errors of a similar kind with no definite fix anywhere on here, so I thought I would post this.
    We are running a network with a Mountain Lion Server on a Mac Mini, connected to a router for internet access and connected to a local network for client computers. All the clients are running the latest version of Mac OS X Mountain Lion and are connecting to remote home directories on the server. They also use several group directories.
    As of late, they have been getting the message: "Server Connections Interrupted. Ignore / Disconnect all" concerning their group volumes.
    I haven't been able to find anything in the logs indicating why this happens, or how to fix it, or why it started appearing.
    What have people experienced out there? It appears on all sorts of user accounts, on different computers in different areas of the workplace.
    / Z.

    Additional data:
    There is no WIFI enabled on the network, all is networked using ethernet.
    There's a Time Capsule on the Server, which backs up the server data regularly. This seems to be connected one way or another from the threads I've read, but those are from aprox. two years ago while this started happening recently.

  • Font rendering issue / Mountain Lion / non Apple LCD display

    Hello
    This font rendering issue or problem is probably well know by Apple crew too but nobody has solved it yet. Only poor solution are available such as try to adjust manually font rendering by writin some scripts concerning anti alias levels...they really dont solve the problem.
    Could Apple bring us solution to this by developing or updating Mountain Lion?
    So what is the problem: font rendering is very poor in Mountain Lion when using non Apple LCD. For example Fujitsu SL27T-1 LED (LCD displa) shows fonts very nice way in Windows but in Mac OS ML does not. Somebody told me that its about software vs. hardware rendering. Dont know about that but could you bring me the solution which is not advising me to buy Apple display (which is five times more expensive than other manufactures displays).
    Br
    M. Leino

    just want to add that overall fonts look blurry and they are not very sharp.

  • "Safari can't find the server" - connection issues under Lion

    Hi there,
    Since upgrading to Lion, Safari has been displaying this odd and annoying behaviour, where, for some links to some web resources (like maybe 2 clicked links out of 10), it throws up a grey error page telling me it can't find the server (screenshot below):
    Normally, this error would be evidience of an intenet connection issue (but it isn't). If I immediately try to find the same resource via another browser (Firefox or Chrome), those other browsers navigate to the site absolutely fine. Although, occasionally (though with less frequency) I'm also getting a similar "Can't find stuff" error with Chrome too.
    In the Safari address bar (is this significant?) there isn't even a URL, but a file path to file:///Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources... what does that mean?
    Hints from other threads would indicate that this is a Firewall issue, or maybe there's another third-party app causing problem, rather than a problem with Safari under Lion specifically.
    But I'm really bugged and irrittate by this. Anyone had a similar experience? Anyone with any ideas? How might I go about finding out what's causing this and fixing it? 
    Best wishes,

    It's most likely a problem with corrupted files in the Safari Cache or corrupted cookies.
    Go to Safari menu bar
    Click on Safari
    Click "Empty Cache"
    Restart Safari
    If the problem persists...
    Go to Safari -> Preferences
    Go to privacy
    Click "Remove All Website Data"
    Restart Safari

  • Can't connect to mountain lion smtp server

    Hello. I've been trying to get outside mail clients (Mac Mail) to connect to a virtual domain mail server I am hosting at work. Our main domain name works fine. And the virtual domain works fine as long as you are on our internal network. But for some reason, outside of our network, I can only receive POP mail with the server but I can't send any mail with the server. This is on a completely new installation of OS X Mountain Lion/Server. Everytime I try to get mail I get a message that the smtp connection to the sever failed even though I know the settings are the exact same settings I use to connect when I'm on our local network and it connects, sends, and receives just fine. How do I allow the outside world to connect?

    I did a work around which I didn't really want to do but my head hurts from trying to find an answer for days and no one here apparently has a clue as to why it's happening.
    I gave my mountain lion a static ip address and then made a hosts entry on all the windows machines. Viola, I can connect to all the mac shares with no account screen/password screens popping up. I shouldn't have to go into the hosts file on every single windows machine just so I can see shares on the macbook. Something's broke somewhere.

  • Can't activate FaceTime after installing Mountain Lion

    After installing Mountain Lion, I opened Facetime and attempted to activate it using my Apple ID, this was what I got:
    "The server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later."
    I created a new Apple ID and tried again; same thing. I contacted Apple Support for help. After hours of instructions, reboots of my MacBook, reinstalling Mountain Lion, and a lot of patience later., the outcome was the same. It just couldn't be activated.
    Today, I tried to activate Game Center, know what? Similar problem. This was the error message I've got:
    "The requested operation couldn't be completed due to an error communicating with the server."
    Any idea?

  • Software Update won't connect in Mountain Lion

    Software Update indicates that I have an update available for Pages, but when I type in my Apple ID and password in the App Store (which is where Software Update takes you in Mountain Lion), I get a "Connection failed" message every time. The App Store seems to accept my password on my iPad okay. Is there a problem with Software Update in Mountain Lion?

    To follow up, I've been on the phone with Tech Support for two days, and they're stumped too. When I try to connect to Software Update, I get the following message from the App Store: "Cannot connect to the App Store: An Internet connection is required." However, I AM connected to the Internet; Safari works fine, as do all other apps that require an Internet connection. Moreover, I CAN connect to the App Store via the Internet for everything BUT "Software Updates" -  "Featured," "Top Charts," "Categories," etc. For some reason, however, the App Store won't let me connect to Software Update or to "Updates" in the App Store because it cannot detect my Internet connection. I've tried repairing permissions, a "safe mode" restart, creating a new "test" user to verify that my network connections are working properly, and finally today I did a re-install of Mountain Lion...all to no avail. Furthermore, my system (Mountain Lion) seems otherwise to be functioning flawlessly. No other problems at all.
    It appears that the problem may not lie with my system, but with Apple's Software Update somehow, but so far they can't seem to track it down.
    Curious as to whether anyone else has had this problem with Mountain Lion.

  • Netgear Stora not Connecting to Mountain Lion

    My I can access my Netgear Stora NAS drive on my Macbook Pro (O/S Snow Leopard) and my Windows7 PC.  On my Mac Mini with OS Mountain Lion I can see the drive but when I click on it I get an error of the following
    "The version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported. Please contact your system administrator to resolve the problem."
    Can anyone please help or suggest what I do to try to fix this
    Thanks

    Hi, thank you for the try. This is what I have upgraded, my MBP. The multimedia device is an LG, it is like a dummy device, I cannot change anything.
    I have seen this on the console when connecting with the user:

  • Browswer issues mountain lion

    I have tried 2 times to upgrade, I have everything ready so there are zero incompatible programs after install. On both browsers firefox and safari some pages refuse to load right or break when refreshed. two right off the bat are sandals.com and msn.com
    Yes I have tried open dns the host does resolve etc etc... I had to fall back to Lion and everything works as expected.
    This is an upgrade not a clean install.
    Thank you
    Rob

    Hi Robk1969 you are not alone and understand your frustration...actually you're right for some pages I was having Issues loading them then by clearing the cache the issue goes away however I have to do again after some days.
    But my biggest problem is with pages that use Plug-ins such as FlashPlayer or Silverlight in pages like www.speedtest.net and www.netflix.com.  In the first one the upload test is never completed and in NetFlix the movies stop at 4% of download.
    It seems like issue related to rights when the Plug-in process tries to Access certain types of files in Web Sites.
    I tried to Play a little with the info.plist File of each of those plug-ins but I better stopped since I know at the end i will finish crashing my OS X Mountain Lion.
    Now if I want to use Netflix then I use my Windows 7 in the Bootcamp partition that I have ... Which is sad.
    O do not think this is issolated issue... I hope a fix soon from Apple or the plug-ins creators.

  • Issue Mountain Lion accessing WebDAV

    Dear beekeepers,
    looks as if there might be an issue of Mountain Lion accessing beehive over WebDAV.
    This [post |https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4139087?start=0&tstart=0] sounds very similar.
    The post is talking about inserting a directive
    BrowserMatch "^WebDAVFS/2.0" redirect-carefully
    into the WebDAV configuriation, but I don't think this can be easily done in Beehive.
    Anyone seen this issue in his/her installation?
    Regards, Tom

    a user of OS X 10.8.4 reports the following picture when trying
    to access beehive 2.0.1.7 TWS through WebDAV:
    Mac OS X "native", cadaver and Cyberduck do not work. He doesn't
    even get to the password prompt.
    Cadaver reports "SSL handshake failed"
    ForkLift works without problems, and Safari, Firefox and Chrome
    can access Zimbra without an issue (so the SSL handshake works
    there).
    Seems as if newer versions of OS X face more than the zero-bytes
    issue when accessing beehive WebDAV.
    Please share your own experiences with OS X and WebDAV.
    Thanks, Tom
