FaceTime from Mac to Mac

I don't know how to FaceTime from Mac to Mac. If I call the contact with its email-adress it doesn't work. Anybody got an idea how this works?

I assume your contact has configured it - launch Facetime>Preferences and check all the options there.

Problem when downloading FaceTime from Appstore in Mac

I get this message everytime i try to download it:
"FaceTime can’t be installed on “Macintosh HD” because the version of Mac OS X is too new."

Looks like you are looping back on DNS with the router. The ADSL modem should
only have DNS entries for the ISP, not the router. The routers WAN interface should get the ISPs DNS Servers, but should not use itself as this will also create another loopback.

HT2731 can i have more than one apple id on a computer? As when we go away we want to facetime from our macpro to our main mac at home and both are registered under the same apple ID. Thanks

Can you have more than one apple id on a computer. We are going away and want to facetime from our macpro to the mac computer at home but both are registered under the same apple ID. What should we do ?

I will share with you what I have done to manage this with my family. While the solution isn't without flawes, it seems to do the trick. First, you need to have one person who is managing the synching of everyone's devices. In my family, I have three iphones, about to be four, and five ipads. We all synch to the same apple ID to allow one another to take seemless advantage of our Itunes, which is on our Imac. To synch individual music or video interests, we simply select which playlists we want and manually synch that way. A couple of us use imatch and the cloud to make the entire library accessable as well. With respect to the imessage, mail, contacts, etc. we each have a gmail account for our individual emails, contacts etc. So for instance, my forth grade daughter has a gmail account that we choose to synch her contacts, calendar, etc to and then that is also the account where she receives her imessages from on her ipad and itouch. My son, who has an iphone and ipad, does the same thing, but under settings, he goes to imessage and checks his phone number and his email as his preferred way to receive imessages and texts. My wife and I do the same thing. To avoid having everyone see one anothers contracts etc, we only synch contacts from our individual email accounts. Here is the downfall to this: When you update your phone or add a new device, apple always wants to reset everyone's facetime and imessage settings and then low and behold we are all receiving imessages from one another's friends etc. To work around this, I simply take each of their devices and go to their imessage settings and only check the email and phone numbers relative to their devices. I dont' know is this is the best solution, but it seems to work for us.

When I call someone using FaceTime from my mac, they can see me but no hear me. Is there something I need to do to make this happen? I also have an iPad 2 and FaceTime works great on it if I call somebody. Why no sound from my mac FaceTime using a mac pro

When I call someone using FaceTime from my mac, they can see me but not hear me. Is there something I need to do to make this happen? I also have an iPad 2 and FaceTime works great on it if I call somebody. Why no sound from my mac FaceTime using a mac pro and isight camera, mike combo.
If I use google it works. If I use Ichat, it works. If I use skype it works.

This sounds like something similar to https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3388112?start=105&tstart=0.
Try turning down the speak volume (System Preferences->Sound->Output->Output Volume) or the microphone gain (System Preferences->Sound->Input->Input Volume). Do this on both sides of the call.

Why can't FaceTime open on my Mac os x snow leopard? I just bought it and installed it.

I just boulgt FaceTime from the App store but it cannot open. I don't know what else to do.... does it work only for Lion? I have a Snow Leopard..

Facetime works on Snow Leopard. But the specs say you need to be at least 10.6.6.
If you are on 10.6.6 or later, what happens when you try running Facetime? Do you see any error messges? Have you tried rebooting your Mac? (Not sleep, but shut down or restart.) Rebooting often "fixes" many issues.

I cant find facetime icon in my mac

i cant find facetime icon in my mac ! wen i try to download facetime for mac app from mac appstore. it says your Mac OS is too new !
Pls help

Okay, here ya go, deggie. I appreciate the fact that you conducted the independent experiment. As for the problem, I wish this was a concoction of my imagination.
My AEX hangs on the wall in my living room; it has a single connection to an amplifier, nothing more. The device is running 7.4.2 firmware, attaches to my network via a cisco Aironet 1242 802.11g radio, and obtains an IP address from the DHCP server on my cisco PIX 501 firewall. The AEX is set to "join a wireless network," uses a 128-bit WEP key, has AirTunes enabled with a friendly name of "Living Room" with no password. All three devices in question (AEX, iTunes PC, and iPad) are on a flat Layer2 network - though the PC is connected through a Polycom SoundPoint IP phone. There are no range issues between the AP and AEX.
When the iPad kills the connection between iTunes and the AEX, iTunes simply stops playing, and the device name becomes grayed.

FaceTime on Ipod and Mac without changeing email preferences.

My friend uses the same email for FaceTime on his mac as on his ipod, but I never want to face time his mac because it is a family computer. What can I do to only face time his Ipod without FaceTiming his Mac?

Welcome to Discussions, Kun Yai
I have tested every way possible and it works well.
To FaceTime between different devices, each must have a UNIQUE identifier.
If you use the same identity on each device, either will only be able to call and receive from someone else.

TS3367 Mac to Mac facetime will not work, but Mac to phone will...???

I cannot make a facetime call from my mac to another mac. The following scenarios have worked however:
My Mac to another phone
My Mac to an ipad
My phone to another phone and ipad
My ipad to another phone and ipad
Another persons phone to my phone
Another persons Mac to my phone
Basically every possible combination of facetime calls have been made, except for the Mac to Mac call. Now I have tried shutting my phone off before the other person called me and when they then proceeded to call me on thier end it said that the call could not be completed. I have used different contacts such as the phone number and various email addresses and for some reason the Mac to Mac call will never work. Any insight?

Hello DFanelli,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with FaceTime on your Mac. You have taken some great steps to isolate the issue.
I'm not sure if you have tried all the steps in the section titled "Troubleshooting FaceTime for Mac" in the following article, but I recommend continuing with those steps if you have not yet tried them:

Trouble receiving FaceTime calls on my Mac Mini using OSX Mountain Lion

I have a Mac Mini using OSX Mountain Lion, an iPad 2, and an iPhone 4. I tried to receive a FaceTime call on my Mac but it was telling the caller that it was busy. I was however able to call her iPhone from FaceTime on my Mac and we connected that way. After our video conversation I tried testing this by calling my Mac from my iPhone. I also received the message that it was busy. I should also add that when I first received the call I had my iPad FaceTime turned on. The iPad was ringing but not the Mac. So I turned off FaceTime on my iPad and had her call me back again using my email address. As noted it said it was busy. Please help!

Do you have different FT addresses on your Mini, iPhone and iPad?

Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only. However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is alr

Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only.
However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is already open on or from any machine which is causing code edits to be lost.
What we found from out testing:
- The file can be saved from one user to the server and WILL NOT PROMPT on other machines until the saving machine has the Dreamweaver program closed completely
- The file can be closed and Dreamweaver minimised to the launch bar but it still will not register on other machines that it has been changed.
- Also, until the Dreamweaver program is closed on the machines, it will continue to open it's saved version of the file.
Example Scenario:
- User 1 opens test.css (which is 2000 lines) and adds some code to the end of the file to bring it up to 2500 lines
- Meanwhile User 2 opens test.css as well (opens as 2000 lines as User 1’s edits have not yet been saved) and adds in code to bring it to 2300 lines
- User 1 saves his file and closes it - but Dreamweaver is still open.
- User 2 also saves his file and leaves Dreamweaver open.
- The server will report the size and last edit of the file the same as User 2 as he was the last person to save it (and if you open from the Win7 Machine it will show as User 2’s 2300 line version)
- If User 1 then open's the file again (from either the 'recent' in Dreamweaver OR clicking on the file directly in Finder...which version opens.... The version that User 1 saved! Not the true version on the server, but the version that User 1 edited and saved with 2500 lines in it.
- Same for User 2, he will open 'his' version with 2300 lines in.
Other information:
- Files are opened directly from the server
- Sometimes the users will save incrementally and re-open
- Most of the time users will save incrementally and keep the files open
- The users will never not save incrementally and just save when closing the file once finished
- The users are usually working on the files all day
- It is always the bottom lines of code that are lost. It could be a case of the two versions being mixed up and cutting off the newly added lines based on the line count (possibly).
It is as if Dreamweaver is holding a cache of the version locally and then only properly looking back to the server when it has been completely closed. It is very difficult to see how the server is causing such an impact on these files, there are very few logs which are giving any indication to the root cause of the problems.
Anyone know if this is a known issue?
Is there a way that there can be a featured implemented on the server that doesn't allow another user to open a file if it is already open on another machine?
Thanks

Your server file handling has nothing, and really nothing to do with Adobe software. If files don't get locked for (over-)writing and/or lose connection to the program opening them, then your server is misconfigured. It's as plain and simple and that. Anything from "known file types"/ file associations not being set correctly, MIME types being botched, crooked user privileges and file permissions, missing Mac server extensions, delayed file writing on the server, generic network timeout issues and what have you. Either way, you have written a longwinded post with no real value since you haven't bothered to provide any proper technical info, most notably about the alleged server. Either way, the only way you can "fix" it is by straightening out your server and network configuration, not some magic switch in Adobe's software.

Can't send email from one specific .mac account

I have two .mac accounts on three different machines. My main email account gives me "cant send with server smtp message..." use a different server. I can send just fine with my other .mac acct on the same machine. But I can't send from my main .mac acct on any of the machines or the web client at home or work. I have created a new user from scratch and set up the .mac acct on it and still get the errors. So it doesn't seem to be a problem specific to machine, user, or network. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

In your Account setup (via Mail Preferences) you may have to set up an Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) entry. As an example I have a IMAP account and a POP account. The IMAP account has the server smtp.<imap_domain>.com and the POP account has mail.<pop_domain>.net.au. I also have other domain entries which come into play if I am visiting friends or colleagues and need to send or receive mail via their broadband links which have ISP's that differ to mine.

Cannot send mail from .me or .mac to any hotmail addresses without rejection notice

Since yesterday, I have not been able to send email to anyone with a Hotmail address from my .me/.mac email without getting this notice:
Recipient address: [email protected]
Reason: Server rejected MAIL FROM address.
Diagnostic code: smtp;550 SC-004 (COL0-MC3-F13) Unfortunately, messages from 19.138.187.0 weren't sent. We recommend that you contact your Internet service provider. The problem is that too many unwanted messages have been sent from the following IP address above.
This happened once before and I don't recall how it was resolved.

Hi Rob,
To see if it's your provider, What's my ip... Does your IP math the stated one?
http://www.whatismyipaddress.com/
Start with these three, check SpamCop or SpamHaus to see if your IP is there...
http://spamcop.net/bl.shtml
http://www.spamhaus.org/lookup.lasso

Sometimes an ISP will bloc a whole other ISP too, if it's the source of too much SPAM.
