FaceTime fails to connect to active wi fi on my iPad?

FaceTime fails to connect to active and working wi fi on iPad? Help!

The network is secured (protected)? You need password to connect to network.

FaceTime fails to connect snow leopard imac

The setup is a home network with ethernet to an up-to-date snow leopard iMac and the WiFi on the same subnet, running off of a Linksys wft54g with the latest firmware. uPnP is enabled on the router.
From a Macbook Air with Lion on a network at work, I can call and receive FaceTime calls to the iPhone on the home WiFi network.
However, FaceTime rings but fails to connect on the iMac.
So, Facetime to/from iPhone is going through the same home router over the same network using the same DNS, etc.. and it works.
But Facetime to/from the iMac does not. I've tried with the firewall on/off on the iMac as well as google DNS, etc., with no luck.
If the Lion MBA is on the same network, all works fine.
Any ideas? What is different about Facetime btw iPhone and snow leopard iMac that causes this difference?
Much appreciated.

HI. I have a macbook air 1.3 ghz intel core i5 / 4gb 1600 mhz ddr3, and i use OS X mav 10.9.4.
Today i tryed to conect facetime either to another same macbook air or iphone 5 and i cant see my camera image.
Facetime opens and i can get audio but no image at all.
Preferences are not available on menu. if i click, it goes gray (notjing shows up) then its impossible to see it.
I have tryed reinstaling os x and also reset smc and nothing worked so far.
I open photo both and image not showing also. open skype and camera preview not showing.
Could it be a problem with my camera? if so, why cant i log in my facetime preferences??
Tks

Facetime fails to connect

I am trying to FaceTime with my daughter in Sweden. I am using OS 10.9.4 on a MacBook Pro with Facetime 3.0. She is using an iPad mini with the current software. The query initally goes through and says "connecting" then fails to connect. I have checked the firewall settings in my Airport Extreme and the modem and they are correct, and have tried with the MacBook's firewall on or off without success. What am I missing?
Randy Black

Failure to connect is most commonly due to not being fully updated per http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5419 but that does not sound like your case. Have you tried connecting by using the email address of the recipient instead of a telephone number?

FaceTime fails to connect to contacts

FaceTime is fully connected but when a contact is selected it tries to connect but comes back failed this happens with all contacts.

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, 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 while in safe mode. 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.

Facetime Failed to Connect

I have a late 2011 model Macbook Pro and with following spec
Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
Facetime Version 1.1.1
I start using FaceTime about half a year ago and I have no problem FT with my friend at first.
However, I start having this problem about a month ago... after my friend answer the call, the facetime will show connecting but the call will fail after awhile.
I am pretty sure both our internet have no problem at all as we are able to connect through Skype and we can ft using our iPhone too.
Does anyone has a solution to this?
Thanks very much

So do I. One post by Support.Apple.com says you must purchase Facetime for MAC OS after version 10.6.6 ????

I recently updated my MacBook Pro to the new software, and now my iMessage and my FaceTime are not connected with my computer. How do I get them to match so that I would be able to use my cellphone number?

I recently updated my MacBook Pro to the new software, and now my iMessage and my FaceTime are not connected with my phone number like it is supposed to be. How do I get them to match so that I would be able to use my cellphone number on my notebook?

To reset any OS X program just go to the folder and trash the affected files.
Open a new Finder Window
Click "Go" in the above status bar
Click and HOLD the "option/alt" key and you will see "Library" now show in the above list
Click Library while still holding the option/alt key and a new window will open with all of your system files
Go to the preference file (NOT Preference Panes)
Locate a file named <com.apple.FaceTime.bag.plist>
Locate another file named <com.apple.FaceTime.plist>
Locate the file <com.apple.iMessage.bag.plist>
Drag the files to the trash
Delete the trash
Close FaceTime and iMessage if not already closed
Relaunch FaceTime and iMessage from Applications folder
This should reset the program back to default. You will have to put your information back into the program but it should work.
Good Luck.

It's a bit pricey but should do the trick.

Facetime fails to connect after Official Yosemite installation

Mid 2009 Macbook Pro 13 inch with OS X Yosemite Version 10.10
I had no issues with facetime at all before installing the Yosemite update (from mavericks) but now every time I try to make a call or answer one it will connect briefly for a minute and then disconnect within a few seconds.

This is everything from opening Facetime, to calling a contact and it connecting and then failing within a few seconds.

Hi, RAYSG68.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are a couple troubleshooting articles I would recommend going through when experiencing issues with FaceTime.

Facetime "Fails" to connect via Airport Extreme using Comcast?

Greetings,
First time poster... tried researchings specifics on my situation and couldn't find anything so posting here to see if a solution has been found.
I used to have Verizon DSL for ISP with Airport Extreme as my wireless router. Everything worked including Facetime (only issue was the need for speed). Switched to Comcast as ISP which uses cable and had the Tech reconnect it to the Airport Extreme to behave as the wireless router. Internet is on and good... got a green light on the Airport Extreme. However, when attempting to connect via any device using Facetime (it will ring but as soon as it is answered I get "Fail" message and it ends) be it my laptop, desktop or either of our iphones I have IOS7 and IOS6 respectively same error. Did not make any modifications to Airport settings or any of my devices.
When checking the common response to this issue was a potential "Blocked Port" situation... but by digging a little deeper it appears that Comcast does not block ports that are relevant to Facetime (please confirm). I didn't see anything else that would suggest a solution at this point.
Help would be greatly appreciated as we enjoy using facetime to have our 6 month old daughter connect to our grandparents.
Thanks,
Andrew

The USB port on an AirPort Base Station other than the 802.11n model is only for use with an USB printer; hard and flash drives will not be recognized. The compatible base stations include version 5.0 of the AirPort software on a CD.

Facetime fails on connection

Hi,
Have been Facetiming my mum on her iPad without a hitch until yesterday, everytime we call, Facetime rings and then says connecting but within a few seconds it fails. We have tried, turning it off on both sides, we have tried restarting app, rebooting - still the same problem. HELP PLEASE???

What worked for me was the following:
1. Go to Facetime Preferences, press Sign Out
2. Go to your Home Folder, press Command I for information
3. At the bottom, in the Sharing and Permissions section, click on the lock to open
4. Choose your user name, make sure it says Read & Write, press the Gear icon and Choose "Apply to enclosed items ...". This takes awhile
5. Go back to Facetime preferences and log on
The issue seems to be related to access rights, as I was also having other problems like the Finder asking for passwords for certain tasks etc.

Can't print pdf docs. Keep getting failed to connect to dde server. How do I fix?

I have Adobe Reader X and I can not open files, or print them. I keep receiving a fatal error-DDE server not found. I have tried reloading Adobe, rebooted, and nothing seems to work. I have no trouble accessing my browser, can print nonadoble files. Everything else is running fine. What can I do?

Hello,
In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
#Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
#In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
#In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
#On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

SMTP send fails first time with exchange server. how about you?

I run a 2007 Exhcange server at our business...never an issue with OSX working with it.
Now that I've upgraded to mavericks anytime I have an attached of any good size (screenshots, photos) it fails the first time...and when I try to resend it goes. This issue doesn't exist with small attached (signatures for example) or blank emails.
Anyone have this issue with Maverick/Mail.App?
Before you start to tell me that I need to increase the attachment size on my exchange server it already permits up to 99,999KB and if it was being blocked due to size the 2nd attempt would not work either.

Ok, so I've gotten Cups and wicd autostarting, set the static ip from my router because else it wasnt getting DNS etc details and left it asking for that by dhcp.
Still having issues with the DE
pedro_sland wrote:
If DE is required, Xorg must be started in tty1, startlxde ran in tty2, and then manually switch to tty7 for the DE.
I run xfce4 sometimes. I just run startxfce4 and it starts Xorg and displays the DE. I think that startx runs twm which you probably don't want so you might want to take a look at that. startx has a script it runs somewhere (I forget where but the wiki will know). When I'm done with xfce I just log out and it exits.
For me, this isnt working. startlxde on its own just goes to
[root@yomiko ~]#
in tty1, and leaves me with a blank screen when i switch to tty7
I literally must call Xorg in one tty, startlxde in another and then manually shift to tty7 to see it.
startx itself:
-bash: startx: command not found
Even Xorg isnt happy being called on its own, that too goes to a blank screen, though it does at least switch to tty7
With Xorg called in tty1, when i call startlxde in tty2 i get dbug errors from pcmanfm though these seem to be just it informing its detected the HDD partitions.
there is a grumble early on in the process, before the debug errors, saying:
Importing pynotify failed, notifications disabled.
Finally, I did add the line to .xinitrc the LXDE page in the wiki said to to allow startx to run:
exec ck-launch-session startlxde
This is the only line in this file.
Currently running as root... I'm not going to complicate matters by adding a user until im sure i got it all running as root, bad practice or not!
Edit: A friend helped me solve it.
The package xorg-xinit held the startx script that was missing. I now get LXDE when i want and only when I want.
