FaceTime Mac won't send a call.

A few weeks ago I downloaded FaceTime and it has been working perfectly.
Today I went to make a call and it says "FaceTime can't initiate the call. Your computer is busy in another FaceTime call." But I am not in a call. How can I fix it?

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.

    mac won't send emails but can receive them

    Hi Mick209
    I am in the UK and eventually found the problem was due to my BT Home Hub Router.  Not sure where you live, but of you are in the UK, this might work for you.
    I found this fix below on https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4604180?start=15&tstart=0
    It worked for me.  If you can't link to the URL, here is the body of the text
    There's an issue related to the BT homehub that is providing a hostname that is "syntactically incorrect" for several smtp server.
    Here's how you can fix it.
    Using your internet browser, go to the address "192.168.1.254
    - Follow instructions to reset your password if asked.
    - Then go to "Settings", then "Advanced Settings" and "home network"
    You will see there all the devices that are connected or that has been connected before. It's gonna be easyer if yout computer is the only one connected.
    Your computer should have a name like "unknown-xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ...
    Click on this name, chose another name without any special characters, like "macbook" for exemple.
    And then click on "apply"
    - restart your computer.
    That should fix the issue.
    Credit goes to vincentfromcork for providing me with the solution.
    If it works, spread the word :-)

  • .Mac won't send email from iphone

    This used to work, but lately when I try to email a picture (taken with the iphone camera), from my .mac account on the iphone, it won't send.
    Just tested it without a picture, IE sending jsut a text email and it won't do that either.
    Any suggestions?

    Any error message provided and if so, what is the error message?
    I email photos with my .Mac account on my iPhone on a regular basis without any problems.

    you posted this in the BATTERY AND POWER section of the MBA forum - you might get a better response by posting in the OSX or MAIL forums....

  • Installed Lion, Outlook 11 for Mac won't send email anymore

    Hey all - I installed Lion but now my work Microsft Outlook 11 accounts won't send email...looks like they receive though. Happening to anyone else? Any ideas on a fix?

    In Finder you have to go to your user account's library, which Apple hid in Lion.  You can still get to it by using the "Go to Folder" option in the Finder>Go menu.
    In the dialog option that comes up, type in ~/Library
    Inside the library is a "Caches" folder, and inside that folder is one called ".com.microsoft.outlook"
    Try deleting that?  As always, make sure you have a good backup before deleting anything in the library   Hope it helps!

  • Facetime account won't let me call, only message via imessage. How to fix?

    So I have set up a facetime account and it has apparently verifyed my email but when I add a contact and attempt to call them where it says FaceTime on my friend's account it says send message. They also cannot reach me as it says that I am unavailable to faceTime though I have set it up and given them the correct email. Please help!

    Only that you try this again...
    Verify that the date and time are set correctly:
    Tap Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Toggle Set Automatically on.
    Verify that both parties are connected to a Wi-Fi network and have an active Internet connection.You cannot make or receive FaceTime calls using a Cellular Data network connection.
    FaceTime uses push notifications to send and receive invitations. Verify push functionality using Mail or other applications that use this feature.
    Restart the device.

  • Blackberry won't send/receive calls or texts but can still access internet.

    Hi, 
    I have a blackberry curve 9300, it's with Orange but has been unlocked and has an o2 sim in it.
    A couple of weeks ago I lost the phone so I called o2 and they deactivated the sim then sent me a new one, which works perfectly fine. A few days ago someone called up my Dad saying that they had found my phone, but due to it having a lock on it they had to wipe the handset in order to get contact details. I got the phone back, put my sim in it and it won't do anything. It's recognising the sim fine but I can't send or receive calls and texts, yet I can still go on the internet. It used to work absolutely fine before I lost it, so I can't understand as to why it's suddenly not working. I went into o2 this morning but they wouldn't do anything as it's an Orange phone, and Orange wouldn't do anything as it was unlocked, so I'm stuck.
    Any clue as to why this is happening?
    When I try to send a text it has a red X by it and says - Retries Exceeded.
    When I try to call it instantly says - Call Failed.
    Your advice is VERY much appreciated! Pulling my hair out here - I miss my Blackberry and am currently stuck with my old LG. 

    Calls and SMS are carrier functions. Your first step should havw been calling your carrier.

  • Ikegami broadcast monitor-Mac won't send 1080p DVI signal

    I'm trying to use an Ikegami HLM-1750WR broadcast monitor connected over DVI with my Mac Pro. It seems the display isn't sending any information to the mac, because 1080P is not an option, and 1080i looks awful. I've tried using SwitchRes X to specify 1080P, and it works—except the entire image is shifted over two inches to the right, leaving a quarter of the image off the edge of the screen. I tried tinkering with the settings, but can't get it to change. Anyone have any tricks to get this to work?

    In reality, the projectors that show the work I'm working on (local Indie films) are connected over DVI-and that's if I'm lucky. Otherwise, its some cheap home projector connected to a DVD player over composite, so in reality DVI is useful for what I'm doing. Also, the monitor in question is far superior to the 9 year old dell I usually have attached, so its a worthwhile project in that sense too.
    Alternate workflows aside, does anyone know a way to force 1080p output?
    I know that SDI is better, but it would also be enlightening to know why exactly that is.

  • IPhone, iPad, Mac won't send pictures over iMessage

    All my devices have suddenly started telling me iMessage delivery fails when I want to send images / videos over iMessage. 1st gen iPad mini, iPhone 5c, 2013 Macbook Air, all on most recent software updates.
    I've tried turning off iMessage on all devices, restarting them all, and turning them on again, but it doesn't fix the issue.
    While my contacts tell me that pictures and videos still go through, on my end it shows them as failed / undelivered. Same goes the other way, if someone sends me a picture, they will see on their end that it was "not delivered" and yet I receive the picture without problems.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Kind Regards,

    HI Friend,
    You must set the Cellular Data according (Settings>>General>>Cellular>>Cellular Data). Contact your carrier for further information.
    Turn on Cellular Data, Roaming and 3G as well, even your carrier doesn't have 3G available.
    Hope it will be helpful

  • Since upgrading to version 4.3.5 FaceTime sometime won't receive calls

    Ever since I've upgraded to version 4.3.5 FaceTime sometimes won't receive a call. Sometimes it will, and I can hear ipad2 ring. I can make outgoing calls, and the other person can hear and receive my call. I also had a issue with an alarm clock app (alarm sometimes won't sound off). Everything else works fine. I've tried setting airplane mode to on, and setting FaceTime to off, shutdown to reboot. Then power up, set airplance mode back to off, and FaceTime back on. Was able to hear receiving call. After that couldn't hear the next incoming call. Is this a software issue?  How could this be resolved?

    I have the same problem on an iPhone 4 with 4.3.5 update.

    FaceTime will not let me send a call.  On in coming calls it only displays "connectin...".   Both users are connected via wifi.

  • Won't Send Texts and Now Won't Make Calls... Claims No Service

    The other day my phone wasn't sending text messages, I could recieve them and make calls but no one was getting my messages I sent to them.  I've had this problem before and it would usually just correct itself, annoying, but it would.  Well it went on for two full days so I called and did the *228 and reprogrammed my phone.  And yes, I tried taking out the battery also and it didn't work.  It seemed to work after the reprogramming though.  Then the next morning, today, not only did my phone not send messages, after it had been working just fine, but it would not make calls either.  I couldn't even dial *228 without the call being dropped.  A message pops up every few minutes saying messages couldn't be sent and would be sent once service became available.  My phone has no service whatsoever, bars pop up for a second or two and then goes back to absolutely ZERO service.  This is very strange considering I live in a pretty decent service area, have never had issues with it before, and everyone else around here has Verizon as well and haven't had any issues.  On top of this, with my phone constantly searching for service, the battery ran out a lot faster than normal so I turned my phone off, since it was pretty much useless anyways.  Well, good thing I did because while it was one it was sending the text message I sent to my boyfriend this morning, before I'd realized my phone was having issues, over and over.  He recieved well over 100 duplicate messages.  And even when I turn my phone back on it keeps sending the message to him... even though on my end it still says no service and that none of my texts from today have sent and will be sent when service becomes available.  I called Verizon today and the woman I spoke with, while very nice, seemed clueless about my issue and tried to walk me through some troubleshooting she was just reading off of something and she herself didn't even know what she was telling me to do or what the benefit of it was.  When I finally said I was on my break at work and had to get back inside, she informed me she was just going over the basic troubleshooting and I could talk to Tech Support and they could further assist me.  I didn't have any time to stay on the phone then since it had already been 20 minutes that got me nowhere.  My issue now is I don't have a phone to even call Tech Support to try and figure out what's going because I was using a friends at work.  So long story short, my phone claims to not be able to send any messages but has sent over 100 messages to my boyfriend (and God knows who else who just hasn't told me), my phone won't make any calls without dropping them after a second, and my phone has no service even in good service areas... and all of these issues just came out of nowhere and my phone is pretty much unusable at the moment.  What I want to know is if there is anyway to fix this problem... or if I am just going to have to suck it up and get a new phone?  Thank you, I definitely appreciate the help.

    Restart the phone by holding down the top/power button and the Home button at the same time until the device restarts.
    Log on to your My Verizon account and select "Activate Device".
