While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use FaceTime. There's a FaceTime Support Community where everybody uses FaceTime. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_app_store/facetime_for_mac

IPhone 4s keeps trying to connect to a Macbook Hotspot but no internet

Hello,
I've setup a hotspot on my macbook (OS X10.5.8 leopard) and created a WEP 128 bit password. I found the network on my iphone 4s, selected the network, entered the password.
The iphone4s keeps trying to connect to the network (the moving circle that means something is loading) keeps appearing beside the network's name without turning into a tick when the nwtwork is selected. this happens although sometimes the wifi bars appear at the top of the iphone screen.
When i got a website on safari, i get "can't open the page because you're not connected to the internet"
Anyone knows what is the solution?
Thanks

I figured it out. Thanks for taking the time to read. Incidentally, if this happens to you: Go to your PODCASTS. find the annoying podcast that is causing the issue. Delete that bad boy.

MacBook Air keeps trying to connect to old server

My new MacBook Air, just like its predecessor iBook, keeps trying to connect to an old server which I am not using (having moved to a different continent!). I have tried deleting it using Finder - Go - Conneact to Server, but it persists. It flashes up the error messaage: "There was a problem connecting to the server XXX. The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again." I have done all this, but it makes no difference. Can you help please? I use a Time Capsule as my router, with an AirPort Express booster in another room, and my main iMac desktop does not have this problem. The old network was in use in the UK, and I will want to connect to it there when I visit from time to time.
Many thanks
John

Check the Login Items in the Users & Groups section of system Preferences for a reference to this old server. If it is there highlight it and click the Minus ( - ) button.

OS keeps trying to connect to server

Hi - When I'm home I often connect to a local server on my LAN.
But when I travel, I get this system notification over and over:
There was a problem connection to the server "Media Center".
The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the
server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again.
For some reason my system keeps trying to connect to the server. I can't see why. This message keeps happening even after rebooting, before I load any applications. I can't figure out where in my system that server request is stored and how to stop it.
I've scoured the console logs but can't find any references to my server's name.
Anybody know how I can stop this? The dialog box is annoying and takes focus away from whatever I'm working on.
Thanks in advance...

OK, I found the problem. I'm posting in case anyone else needs help.
Back when Mountain came out it removed colors and distinctive icons from the sidebar, replacing them with grey generic icons. I, like many others, hated the new look, so I installed a program (Side Effects) that uses SIMBL to restore the colored sidebar. It worked, I was happy, and I forgot about it.
With Mountain Lion, apparently there is a more complex interaction, and SideBar/SIMBL somehow kept trying to mount a particular local server. It succeeded when I was home, but when I would disconnect, it would reconnect on relogin. When I travel, after reboot it keeps giving me a "Cannot Connect to Server" failure message (it stops after a while).
LSS, I uninstalled SIMBL and everything works as it should. I really miss the colored sidebar but at the moment I'm not motivated to wrestle with the hacks necessary to restore it. I wish Apple would do so but it ain't gonna happen. I'll have to learn to live with the ugly sidebar.

Macbook pro keeps trying to connect to an old server

I have a macbook pro, just updated to OSX mavericks, when I turn the machine on, it will keep trying to connect to an old server that no longer exists (a windows pc I had at home I called "estudio"); how can I fix this? where is that the OS keeps the list of servers that the machine has been connected to? I already went through the option of "deleting all the list of recent servers" on the Connecting to a Server window.
Thanks for any help

I already tried rebooting, and I tried hooking it up to itunes as well, no luck there either.

Try to reset all settings.
Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings. It won't delete your data.
When you say reboot, do you mean you pressed the home and sleep button at the same time until it restarted?

I have a iPhone 4 S 16 GB. I cannot connect to my home Wi Fi. I tried several of the things I saw out here and it's still not working. It just keeps trying to connect over and over but never conencts.

I have a iPhone 4 S 16 GB. I cannot connect to my home Wi Fi. I tried following some suggestions I saw out here but nothing helps. It just keeps trying and trying to connect.

You didn't say what you have already tried, but if you haven't already done so, power-cycle your router (unplug it for 15 seconds then plug it back in), then on your phone go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Reset Network Settings, then try joining your wifi again.

FaceTime keeps trying to call but the other person doesn't receive it.

I'm trying to FaceTime an iPhone 5 and it just keeps ringing forever. The person on the other end doesn't receive any notification that I'm trying to call. I'm having the problem on both my iPhone 6 and my Macbook Air (mid-2013), and have tried on both WiFi and mobile (4G) networks. They are both using the same Apple ID account, and everyone involved has everything updated to the max. I've tried signing out of my Apple ID account and back in again on both devices, at different times and at the same time, with no effect.
I have previously FaceTimed the same person successfully from my iPhone 6 (over 4G, in January when I first got the phone) and Macbook (last year, and over a different wifi network).
It's super frustrating that Skype is being more reliable than FaceTime.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Good day la_pahina,
Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
You mention that you're not able to make a FaceTime call using your iPhone 6 or MacBook Air. It can be frustrating when services like FaceTime don't work as they should.
Making sure all devices are updated to the max was a good troubleshooting step, as well as signing out and back in to FaceTime, and switching between Wi-Fi and Cellular networks.
If you are they have had the opportunity to test: Can you place FaceTime calls to other people, or can they receive FaceTime calls from other people?
Depending on if you or your friend see this behavior when making or receiving FaceTime calls to other people, you or they can try the additional steps in this article to troubleshoot the issue further:
If you can't make or receive FaceTime calls - Apple Support
Sincerely,
Jeremy

Mac keeps trying to connect to a server when opening excel

i worked for a week at a production house and they had me log into their server to access files that we all used. obviously i forgot to eject their server before i left and instead just closed my computer and left. now, since Lion makes all documents that were left open restore automatically my mac keeps trying to load a spreadsheet that i was reading off the server but obviously i'm not connected to said server anymore. and i won't ever again.
how can i stop my mac from trying to connect to this server? also, is there a way to stop Lion from auto restoring?
thanks, all!

Well, I was hoping that if you remove all traces of recently opened documents to resume and you disable the resume, then Excel would not try any longer to connect to the server.
One more question: is Excel trying to reach the server when you start your system or when you launch Excel?
If it happens at start up, then have a look, if Excel has been added to the start up items (System preferences -> accounts -> your account -> start up items) and remove it.
Quit Excel (with Option + Command + Q) if it is open and remove the loginwindow preferences: Navigate to Library > Preferences > ByHost > com.apple.loginwindow.[xxxxxxxxx].plist
The [xxxxxxxx] represent some interminable string of numbers and letters.
If it happens at launch time, move the Excel preference file to the Desktop before you launch Excel. The file is locate here:
/Users/your user name/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.Excel.plist.
If you keep your Library hidden, as it is by default, go to the System preference folder from the Finder menu: Finder -> Go -> Go to Folder (Or shift-cmd-G) and enter
"/Users/your user name/Library/Preferences"
Good luck

Skype/Facetime keeps disconnecting my connection?

Skype/Facetime has always been working without any problems for me until yesterday (Mon, Feb 18 2013). Every time I'm using Skype or Facetime and I'm connected into a call, it works for a good 5 minutes or so and suddenly disconnects me on Skype & puts me offline & when it does that, it also disconnects my connection. I'm using a WIFI connection on my macbook pro but it's a locked one with a security password so only me & my family have access to this connection. I've tried checking if it was my WIFI that was causing this problem but my WIFI seem's to be perfectly fine. I'm able to use Safari or any other applications without any disconnecting problems, but when it comes to Skype/Facetime, 5 minutes into a video call, it ends the call and disconnects my wifi and I have to restart my macbook in order to make the connection work again but if I go back on Skype/Facetime, it disconnects again. I've tried updating my software and the applications and it still has the same problems.. Can anyone help me please?

Post in the Skype forums and also on the Facetime for Mac community forum area. There may be Skype users there too.

ITunes keeps losing its connection with my iPhone 5 - anyone else seeing this?

Hi
UK iPhone 5 user here - iMac with Mountain Lion.
iTunes sporadically keeps losing its view of my iPhone 5 which I have set to sync over wi-fi (Apple Extreme Base Station)
I know it will redetect it once I lightning connect it back in but isn't the point of wifi sync is so you DON'T have to do that.
Doesn't seem to retain much memory of the connection.
Anyone seeing this? Or know why?
Cheers

I have this happen to me all the time. I have an iPhone 4, iPhone 5, and iPad 2 all set to sync through wifi to my iMac. At any given time, one or more of them will drop from the list of devices.
The easiest and most reliable way for me to get around it is to turn wifi off on my iMac, wait a second, and then turn it back on. The missing device suddenly reappears 99% of the time. For the other 1%, I also have to quit and restart iTunes. This is much faster than rebooting the device, which is what I was doing until I learned of the Mac wifi toggle tip.

I am trying to connect my pc, iphone, ipad to a airport but it can not see it.

i am trying to connect to a airport with my pc but when scanning it does not see the airport - any ideas?

Not sure, but try these.
Disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the Sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut Off. To power up hold the Sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time (for about 10-15 seconds) until the Apple logo appears (ignore the red slider), then let go of the buttons.
 Cheers, Tom
