FaceTime fails to login

I am running a 2011 Mini with 10.7.2 on it. I have recently bought a UVC-compliant web cam to use with FaceTime. However in common with many on these forums I repeatedly get a failure to login when I initially enter my Apple ID and password. As a check of the hardware I did a clean install of Lion using internet recovery on a separate external drive and sure enough, FaceTime works perfectly when I boot from that drive, which proves the hardware, web cam etc. is not at fault, nor is my home network / router / DSL / WiFi.
The issue therefore lies in Lion. But where? There's nothing in the log and the error message is useless if not misleading. I've tried verifying the drive and fixing permissions. I've tried deleting the com.apple.FaceTime.plist file, I've checked the certificates in the keychain, I've set the time to auto-update, I've checked the entries in the hosts file and I've tried using google dns - all things that others said helped them resolve this error.
But for me - nothing. Still not usable. I'm at the point where I seemingly need to do a clean install but I don't want to go down that route as it's a) a lot of hard work and more importantly b) more like something you'd have to do with Windows rather than OSX .
Anyone else got any further ideas on how to troubleshoot this? It's clearly a config issue, but where and with what?

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 failed - why?

I am running FaceTime on MacBook which is running Lion 10.7.3.
I can't get FaceTime to connect. I have tried various changes to Firewall settings, logging out and in of FaceTime, checking clock settings and still no joy.
My Wi-fi connection is running fine
I have a 9MB download speed and 0.82MB upload speed
My brother is on a new iPad and can FaceTime other people but when ever we try to FaceTime each other it rings on the device and tries to connect, but then says "FaceTime failed"
PLease please please help

This solved my problem...
I took some advice to add a new (unregistered with apple) email address to my facetime account.
I did this and was asked to login with my registered email and password.
I then got the dreaded
"The server encountered an error procssing registeration, please try again later " issue that so many others were getting.
I then folowed this thread which solved the problem.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15658737#15658737
basically I had to comment out some extra server rows I had in my host file. Then a restart was required.
in case you don't know, here's how to edit hosts file in lion

"FaceTime Failed"

I have been trying to FaceTime with my MacBook Pro and contacting my friends Ipad. It worked great until two days ago. Now when either of us try to call one another we the same problem occurs. FaceTime will ring and when accept is selected it errors "facetime failed". We have both tried trouble shooting and made sure our systems were up to date. Can anyone help me fix this?

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.
The purpose of this test 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 personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; 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 in OS X 10.7 or later, 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.

Cannot open database "ReportServer" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'USER LOGON'

I want to grant permissions to all domain users to view reports on our Report Server. Domain users are able to access our Report Server URL and folder, but when they click on a report item they get an error message:
"Cannot open database "ReportServer" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'USER LOGON'"
I'm using windows authentication and configured the local service account in SSReportS Config Manager as the credentials to connect to the Report Server DB.
Can someone please help how I should properly do this step by step to give all domain users permissions to view a report in SSRS?
Thanks much! - Rookie DBA

Hi IWAR,
The error message "Cannot open database "ReportServer" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'USER LOGON'" means the user 'USER LOGON' does not have permissions to access the "ReportServer" database.
To fix this issue, please verify that the user has a valid database user login. For more details, please refer to the following steps.
In SQL Server Management Studio, open Object Explorer and expand the Databases folder.
Expand the database in which to create the new database user.
Right-click the Security folder, point to New, and then click User.
On the General page, enter a name for the new user in the User name box.
In the Login name box, enter the name of a SQL Server login to map to the database user.
Click OK.

Hope this helps.

Deploy CR 10 from VS 2005 C# fails to login on 2nd try

Hi,
I'm new to CR and .NET in general, but I've got a working app on my development m/c. I built a setup project in .NET and deployed the app to our test lab.
From there I was able to generate a report on my first request, but when I returned to the dialog that I use to collect parms and select the report I need I fail to login the CR (Oracle).
To be clear, my app builds 4 different reports, from my m/c I ran successful display as many copies of those reports as I have tried. But, on the test lab m/c I can request any (1)one of the 4 reports, but as soon as I request a 2nd one the app fails with the Login failed message.
I've already included the CrystalReportsRedist2005_x85.msm merge module.
Anyone have any ideas about how to solve this problems
thanks.
Danny
For anyone dealing with connection problems and may be interested in how I've resolved my connection problems:
It turns out that the problem wasn't in CR10 or the setup project. It was with the ODBC connection to Oracle9i. My m/c has a later version of Oracle9i then the version on the m/c in the test lab (9.2.0.5.0 vs 9.2.01.0)
The the temp fix is to revise the SQLNET.ORA file. Eventually we will need to install Oracle patches to correct for the ORA-12154 TNS could not be resolved error. This is going to be necessary for all client m/c's before going live.
Good luck to anyone dealing with similar issues.

Hi!
I am having the same issue in Oracle Weblogic Server 10.3.0.
I resolved it by increasing the memory in the setDomainEnv.sh
MEM_ARGS="-Xms1G -Xmx1G"
export MEM_ARGS
MEM_PERM_SIZE="-XX:PermSize=384m"
export MEM_PERM_SIZE
MEM_MAX_PERM_SIZE="-XX:MaxPermSize=384m"
export MEM_MAX_PERM_SIZE
Anyway I don't know why this resolved it and why the exception is not a memory error. I have tested version 10.3.2 and it doesn't report this errors with the same memory assigned.

The User Profile Service service failed to Login user Profile error in Windows 7 Home Premium

Hi,
I recently purchased a new Dell Inspirion 1564 Laptop which had Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit installed.
The hardware configuration is i5 core Processor, 4GB Ram , 320GB HDD and 512MB Graphics card.
Today morning, I couldn't login as the system returned the following error after I entered the password.
"The User Profile Service service failed to login.
User Profile cannot be loaded"
I couldn't login at all as i had not created any other user account, even the face recognition didn't work.
I had to restore my pc to the previous state. I believe this happened after the installation of Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool x64 - March 2010 (KB890830) update, not immeditately though as i used the system few times after the installation of this update.
Is this a bug? I cant imagine if this happens if I am about to give a presentation, its going to be disastrous!
Any help is appreciated

I'm getting the same issue - I'm the IT Manager at a school where every student has a laptop (fujitsu tablet T4410). This occurs to at least one new student every day. I have been unable to re-create the issue on demand, although I suspect it occurs when a temporary user profile gets created after the logon process takes too long (due to some disk activity, possibly related to windows updates or some thing). When we were creating student accounts on the machines, this would occur if we attempted to log in the newly created account before the computer had 'settled down' - it seems that there is a logon timeout, after which something stops working. If the new user's first logon happened too soon after booting, the profile would be corrupted. But this doesn't quite explain why it occurs seemingly randomly now.
My current solution is to boot into safe mode, back up the user's files, delete the account, create it again (the other suggested solutions on the internet did not work)
If you're desperate, you can log in while in safe mode, and use that to create a new account.
In any case, this is proving a very bad experience of Windows 7 for my students, and I hope to see a more useful fix for this soon.

FaceTime Failed: Calls between iPod Touch and Macbook Pro

when i try to place a call to someone who has FaceTime on an iPod Touch, she says she doesn't receive any calls and i get eventually get a "FaceTime failed" after a few rings. if the other party calls me (i'm using MacBook Pro with OSX Lion 10.7.1) and i answer, at first, it will say "Connecting..." then it will then show a "FaceTime failed". We both powered off our devices to no avail. Any ideas?

Somehow, it just fixed itself.

Welcome to Discussions, Bebjan +(and Kerato, too)+
(1) iPhone 4 requires iOS 4.1 or later to place or receive FaceTime calls with a person using an iPod touch (4th generation). Update your iOS *if you are still using iOS 4 as shown in your posted system info or anything else less than 4.1.*
(2) If your iPhone is already updated, the first thing to check is your wi-fi connections. Try connecting to several of your iPod friends from your Apple retailer's store, an internet cafe, or some other wi-fi location known to offer FaceTime-compatible wi-fi connections.
*If you can connect from more than one other location but FaceTime continues to fail at your home wi-fi network*, use the Troubleshooting suggestions in
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4319
to troubleshoot your home wi-fi network. If your wi-fi network is the problem, and if you want to manually open ports instead of merely enabling UP-n-P, see this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4245
(3) *If your problem is the same at more than two wi-fi locations*, try restarting or resetting your phone:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
(4) *If nothing else works*, see your retailer to have your phone checked. It may need service.

Hello,
I installed B1 integration components successfully and enabled Cockpit in SAP B1. The Dashboards working fine on server and clients. But sometimes (not always) I get the error below when login SAP B1:
Cannot connect to SAP Business One Integration Service. In the Microsoft Services window, make sure this service is running.
and dashboards don't work.
it seems that it is due to timeout. I get the error below in logs file:

"Status": 0,
"Headers": null,
"Cookies": null,
"Body": "The operation has timed out"
When the dashboards work I get the info. below in the same logs file:

Is there a way to overcome this issue ?
Can I increase the timeout period ?

New notebook~ "Fails to login"

We received our new Acer Notebook on Friday. We had no problems setting it up and getting online. It worked up until yesterday afternoon. When we try you login we get the following message: "The User Profile service failed to login. User profile cannot be loaded." Not sure what we are suppose to do and the user manual is very brief. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I've seen this before on other computers. Reboot your computer, and Press F8 as soon as the BIOS screen goes away. Select Safe Mode and let it load. On the user select screen log into the Administrator profile. It should log into windows unless the administrator profile is corrupt. But after you log into the profile, click yes on the box that pops up talking about system recovery. It will take you into the desktop from there. Go ahead and close the Help and support window that pops up.
From the desktop go into the start menu and select the control panel then into user acounts. select the account name you are having a problem with and delete it. After that, click on create new account. Once complete reboot the machine and try to log in normally.
Let us know if this helps.

Slim fails to login...how to get command line back?

Man, what a drag. I (seemingly) successfully installed Arch with xfce, which is a huge accomplishment for a guy coming from years of Ubuntu, and avoiding command line and config files every chance he gets.
Anyway, I'm using slim as a display manager, and it fails to login (I am choosing the xfce session). I can't seem to get to a command line so that I can try a different display manager. Google says that Ctrl-Alt-F1 should do the trick, but that just gives me a black screen and sits there. Any help?
Thanks.
