Facetime verifies my Apple ID but does not allow me to make calls

I was having no problem using facetime on my Macbook Air until just today when I went to use it. It asks me for my Apple ID. Keychain then asks me twice for the Facetime password (once for Messaging Agent, the other for the actual App). Then it asks me to specify my email address and after clicking next it says "Verified" but I am unable to advance. The only option is to re-enter my Apple ID. When I quit and reopen the process repeats itself.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hello Marsha,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
It's not clear exactly what you're trying to accomplish here. If you're wanting to set up SMS forwarding introduced in iOS 8, then please follow the directions below. Also, your Apple ID should be an email address.
To use Continuity for SMS and MMS with your iPhone and your Mac, iPad or iPod touch
Your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch need to use iOS 8.1, and your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
Sign in to iMessage on your iPhone, your other iOS devices, and your Mac using the same Apple ID.
On your iPhone:
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address.
Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature.
Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
Take care,
Alex H.

What's wrong with my device? It does not allow me to make calls with Skype or Viber... Can someone help?

What's wrong with my device? It does not allow me to make calls with Skype or Viber... Can someone help?

My device is a Blackberry Z30. Skype and Viber just to work fine. I had to travel abroad and turn off data services while traveling outside of the US but the applications worked just fine with Wi-Fi. Suddenly they stopped working to make calls. I can still send text messages, but when I try to do a voice or video call (in the case of skype), it only says "failed call" and when I try to call using Viber I get an error message that says the I can not use the application until I complete my GMS call which is ridiculous because I'm not using the phone other than trying to place my call through Viber. The interesting thing is that when I go the permission page in my security settings everything indicates that its on but is gray out and I do not have access to change any setting. The same in both applications. The rest of the applications are accessible to change settings. I already uninstalled skype and reinstalled it and still the same problem. I'm ready to back up everything and wipe out the device to original settings.

On you Apple TV
General > Settings >Itunes Store > Add New Account (put yours in here)
Then Switch account to your Apple Id
Cheers

I recently purchased a new mac computer and would like to sync the music off my iPhone to my new mac.However, my phone and my new mac have different apple Ids.The PC which my phone is synced and has the same apple ID but does not let me transfer the music

Hi I recently purchased a new mac computer and would like to sync the music off my iPhone to my new mac.However, my phone and my new mac have different apple Ids.The PC which my phone is synced and has the same apple ID but does not let me transfer the music. Home sharing is not working. How do I successfully transfer and sync the music off my ipone 4 to my mac book pro if they have different Apple IDs? Thanks!

What do you mean the PC won't let you transfer the music? Save your entire iTunes folder (this is assuming that you have all your music stored in your iTunes folder) to an external hard drive. Connect that hard drive to your Mac. Copy the iTunes folder to your computer. Hold down the option key while launching iTunes on your Mac. Select the library you just copied when it ask you to select which library you want to open.

My library shows up on my apple tv but does not load

My library shows up on my Apple tv2 but does not load. Everything else works I can watch trailers, rented movies and things like that. I could watch movies from my library through home sharing but it stopped working in the middle of a movie and hasn't worked since. Home sharing seems to work on my ipad and my other MBP but just not on the ATV2. Did the reset and reinstall of software on it.....any one got any other ideas?

I'm a bit unsure from your post which playlist is missing from where. If you deleted the "Purchased" playlist in iTunes it will be recreated next time you make a purchase. You can add your previous purchases into this list, and select it to be synced to your device. The "Purchased on <Device>" playlists are locked down and cannot be edited.

My iPhone 5 pairs with my automobile except it does not allow me to "pickup" calls using the car facility. I've contacted Acura RDX 2013 about this problem. It referred me Apple for a fix. My iPhone 4 worked with the car technology.

My iPhone 5 pairs with my automobile except it does not allow me to "pickup" calls using the car facility. I've contacted Acura RDX 2013 about this problem. It referred me Apple for a fix. My iPhone 4 worked with the car technology. Is there a fix for the iPhone 5 to allow call pickup via the Acura?
Thanks

HI Friend,
Probably the problem it is because your iPhone 4 and your car have the same Bluetooth technology ( 2.1 ), but iPhone 5 has new Bluetooth technology ( 4.0 ).

After I updated to iOS 7, my iCloud account is showing the incorrect email address for my Apple ID but will not allow me to change it- it's gray and I can't click on it. How do I fix this?

If you change your email, you do not need to "change" your AppleID. Just edit your email(s) on your Apple ID by logging in to your AppleID account. You should always use the same AppleID for Apple Services (iCloud, iTunes etc) and multiple ID will cause problems and confusion in the future.
You can manage your Apple ID here:

How come my external hard drive is no longer visible in finder even after ticking it in preferences? it shows in the disk utilities but does not allow me to find a problem or fix the problem? Please help.

it shows in the disk utilities but does not allow me to find a problem or fix the problem? Please help. also my external hard drive is a seagate free agent go, 500GB. it is visible on my tv but has no files in it… i'm scared i've lost everything?

Honestly i cannot remember sorry, i got it like 5 maybe 6 yrs ago and just started downloading things to it as the memory on the computer started filling up and when i wanted to see photos/videos on my TV.
My wife did tell me after i had written this post that she did try and record TV to it as it was plugged in. I think by doing so somehow has deleted everything. It reads on my TV yet has no files in it but won't show up on my computer. hope this helps.
Starting to think it is going to cost more to retrieve files on it than it will be to buy a newer and larger one.

HT2798 I have a Mac OS 10.6.8 server in my classroom that I have networked to each student's account. How do I create a folder that allows them to place their finished assignments in it, but does not allow them to go in and remove anything from that fold

You want a "Drop Box" style folder. You should be able to achieve this by creating a folder and giving it permissions similar to the "Drop Box" folder in your users Public Folder (i.e. write only permissions.)

Using Mac OSX Install Disc 1, I am not able to get any further than the Partition tab. It allows me to select my hard drive selection, but will not allow me to make any other selections. Does anyone know their way around this obstacle? Thanks!

Hello, The Hatter, I read about the 'trick' of backing up, erasing, and restoring too, but I figured it would take longer than defragmenting the disk.
But the defragmentation process has just finished! so I'm gonna try to run Boot Camp again soon!
Thanks for your helpfulness, anyway.
And P.S. I didn't clone my system onto the external drive, I just inserted the Mac OS X Install CD, rebooted holding down the "C" key, and installed a fresh Snow Leopard system onto the predetermined partition. I will use that in cases of emergency, when my main/internal system becomes unusable.

Delete some stuff to make room on the device.
iCloud is not local storage and has nothing to do with your situation.

Issue is with OpenGL. System Info it allows Normal Mode but does not allow Advanced Mode.

Problems with Repousse 3D feature in Photoshop CS5 Extended
I am trying to use the Repousse 3D feature in Photoshop CS5 Extended and have been unable to figure how I can get it to be an option using text. Can you explain how I do this, please?
I have also tried rasterizing the text first and that does not work. I have tried placing the image and them loading the selection and I still do not have the option of Repousse.
I believe the issue is with my OpenGL. In the System Info it allows Normal Mode but does not allow Advanced Mode. I spoke with the "Geek Squad" who advised that this is not an issue with my Mac but has something to do with the software.
Can someone please help me fix this? Thanks.

Doug's got it right. It sounds like you are trying to open a later version file in an earlier version. This will always be handled as opening the PDF portion of the file. Try Googling AI_openMultiPagePDF for a script to open these or Resave from the newer version to the older.
