FaceTime on Mac sideways

I'm trying to have a conversation thru FaceTime with my friend.
We are both on MacBook Pro.
I see him the way I should and I see myself the way I should.
The problem is, he sees me sideways.
We tried changing from landscape to portrait but nothing changed.
Any idea that might help us?
Thank you
Sophie

Just to relate my experience with the Macally Megacam:
When I purchased my Mac Mini late last year, I wanted a microphone mainly for telephony (specifically, Google Voice). I chose the Macally Megacam because besides having a microphone which would "just work" and a nice low price, it also had a video camera.
The microphone in the Megacam works perfectly and flawlessly with every application for which I've needed a microphone. I like the way it clamps onto the top of my monitor and connects via USB with no software of its own to get in the way.
The camera works. But in FaceTime it is terrible. TERRIBLE. Very, very low framerates. I think this is because the camera is always recording its images at its maximum resolution and this results in the Mini not being able to keep up a decent framerate. The folks with whom I've used FaceTime have told me that the framerates I'm pushing to them are the same; it's not just that it looks bad in the preview miniwindow in the corner of the main FaceTime window on my Mini. I've tried it with my own iPhone and I've seen the same thing, so it's not a bad wifi connection, either, as the image from my iPhone to the Mini is perfectly clear with a high framerate.
Admittedly, I've only tried the Megacam's camera with FaceTime. Maybe some other application would drive it better.
I'm still satisfied with the Megacam. As a microphone. If I frequently used FaceTime or some other application requiring video, I would not find it satisfactory and would look for some other camera or possibly just get an Apple Thunderbolt display which has a FaceTime camera built in and would connect to the Mini with a Thunderbolt cable.

Problem with facetime for mac

hello guy! I've got a problem with facetime for mac.My sister has a I-pod touch fourth generation with factime but i cna't phone her a message come on my mac.It say "xxx can't receive facetime's calls"!Can you help me??

Thanks, Dah•veed.
I did see mention of using Google Public DNS while I was searching the forums prior to posting, but to be honest didn't think it was a DNS-related problem.
However, to rule it out I've set the prefered DNS servers on my router to Google's, but FaceTime still disconnects after 4-5 seconds when calling between me and my brother-in-law. It doesn't matter who initiates the call.
As a test, before I made the changes to my router, I logged into FaceTime as him on my MBP and tried calling myself on my iMac, and that was successful.
The same test between the two iMacs when they were here was unsuccessful, so now I'm definitely thinking it's something on the '08 iMac.
Now I just need to figure out what...

How do i install Facetime on Mac, do i need to upgrade to Snow leopard?

Hey all
my boy's got an itouch with FaceTime on it so i want to connect my Mac Mini to it. I cannot get facetime without owning the AppStore application. I cannot install the AppStore App on the mac Mini unless i install Snow Leopard is this right?
currently i am on Mac OS X ver 10.5.8.
processor 1.83 GHZ intel core 2duo
memory 1GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
my question is that do i have to pay £26 for the upgrade in order to get the App Store application?
cheers

That is correct; FaceTime for Mac requires Mac OS X 10.6.6. So you will need to purchase the Snow Leopard upgrade if you want FaceTime.
Regards.

You need to select the "Manage My Account" link and not the "Reset Your Password" link. Once you use the "Manage My Account" it will ask you to log in and in there you should see which email addresses are verified.

I'm thinking this may help as well. http://www.cultofmac.com/100524/imessage-supports-multiple-addresses-and-selecta ble-caller-id/

Where is my FaceTime for Mac?

Hi everyone,
I just purchased FaceTime for Mac, but I have not received a confirmation e-mail nor do I find the app anywhere on my MacBook? What do I do? Where can I find it?
Thans in advance for your kind help!

I'm having the same problem. I'm running 10.7.3 and I've tried calling friends and family, one who has the latest generation iPod touch, and one who has another new MacBook Pro, and while my call pops up on their screen when they click "accept" the system gets stuck in a continual "connecting" mode. When they call me, nothing on my end happens while on their end the calls are ringing. What can I do to fix it?

Two useful KB articles:

The second says iOS but it actually tells how to use FaceTime from a Mac in addition to iOS devices.

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.

Since getting my iPhone today, my FaceTime on mac stopped working

since getting my iPhone today, my FaceTime on mac stopped working

I got same problem, suddenly.
It worked fine within same wifi.
Mac wont connect or wont even sense any incoming when someone is calling from outside.
Can anyone help us?!
The only thing I have changed is the internet carrier.

If I already purchased FaceTime for Mac and recently upgraded my HD. How can I retrieve that app again? I found it in my Time Machine back up, but the files won't work. Please help.

Nope. I do the same exact thing. If you have DVD's and blu-rays you can't download a free application called Handbrake. You can set it to Apple TV2 automatic format and they will come out as playable m4v's that can play I'm iTunes. All you have to do is turn on Home Sharing in both iTunes and your Apple RV and you'll be good to go!

Can't connect with FaceTime on Mac

I've just downloaded and installed the FaceTime on Mac beta on my three network connected home computers.
Everything works fine on two of the computers. I can make calls between two of the computers and I can make calls both to and from my iPhone 4 to these two computers.
But the third computer on the network is unable to send or receive a FaceTime call. I can find no differences between the System Pref settings among the three computers.
This is the console message I get from the problematic Mac:
10/20/10 4:54:39 PM FaceTime[1070] attribute = {
shouldFindExternalIP = 1;

10/20/10 4:54:58 PM FaceTime[1070] * __NSAutoreleaseNoPool(): Object 0x11811f6e0 of class NSCFData autoreleased with no pool in place - just leaking
Can anyone make sense of this? Any ideas how to fix it?
Thanks.

cmearns,
It does sound like we have very similar problems with perhaps ultimately the same solution.
My situation may be a bit unique, however, in that all my testing is on and between computers connected to the same LAN, my home network. I have now installed FaceTime on Mac on four Macs connected to this network. Three of the Macs all work fine in terms of being able to send or receive FaceTime calls between themselves and from and to my iPhone 4.
My frustration is that the fourth computer on my network cannot complete calls to the other 3 computers or to my iPhone. Nor can it receive calls. When placing FaceTime calls from this computer, the receiving computer (or iPhone) recognizes an incoming FaceTime request. However, clicking the accept button never completes the connection. As far as I can tell there is nothing unusual or different about the setup of that computer. It is on the same network with the same sharing set up, etc.
Something happens at the final connection process that causes the call to fail.
