FaceTime will not complete calls on MBA

Ever since activating Facetime on my iPhone 4S (linked to PTN), incoming and outgoing Facetime calls to my MBA (linked to my AppleID) will not complete.
I had initially had my appleID and PTN linked to the iPhone so all Facetime calls would go to the phone, however I have since dissociated my AppleID from the 4S (Setting>Facetime) and only my phone number can be used for the phone, on which I can receive and make Facetime calls.
Since dissociating my AppleID from the phone and is now only associated with the MBA, when I place Facetime calls to my AppleID using my wife's 4S, the calls go nowhere eventually timing out, and when I place calls from the MBA, the calls go nowhere and error out (to phone numbers and AppleIDs). I surmise this is some issue to do with my AppleID being jacked, I have tried associating a different AppleID to Facetime on the MBA with the same result.
A peripheral, but possibly related issue has occured with the iMessages beta on the MBA, with which I cannot send iMessages to phone numbers, getting a red exclamation point, error which I cannot seem to resolve. The same primary AppleID is associated with this account.
I'd brought the machine and phones into the Genius Bar only to receive shrugs.
I had found this article, however it is more general and unanswered: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15597730?searchText=FaceTime%20will%20not% 20complete%20calls%20on%20mac#15597730
Many thanks to anyone who can help with this request!

I'm trying to connect (using FaceTime) my iPod Touch (4g, in Florida) to another iPod Touch (4g, in Utah). We have different Apple IDs. We are on different wi-fi networks. If she calls me I see the word "Connecting", but it never connects. I can successfully use FaceTime with any other Apple device I "call". What could cause a problem connecting with that one person?

Facetime works fine on my iphone, but will not work on my MBA.

Facetime works fine on my iphone, but will not work on my MBA. Keeps telling me "unable to verify address" and says it is sending me a verification link to my email address but I never get anything. Crazy.
After a while it tells then me that it cannot verify my email address because of a network connection ("Could not verify the email address. Please check your network connection and try again. ")
Does anyone have any ideas?

TS3367 My FaceTime will make the call but will not connect and will sometimes say call failed. What do i do?

don't update to iOS7 just yet if you prefer 6. Many are saying that's the cure, but there are lots of iOS7 users here who can't make Facetime work either.
It would seem Apple has either a big problem on their hands, as this is now a week old, or they don't know how to fix it. Either way, email Apple tech support your concerns

I have downloaded flash player many time will not complete download.

I have tried to download many, many, times to download the latest version of your flash player!!! I have called geek squad to help me fix the problem. It still has not been resolved. I have visited you trouble shooting sites and followed all steps explained and still will not complete download. I have deleted all flash on my computer and tried to down load and it starts to go through the steps and completes the download but does not complete instillation. When I try to play a game it tells me that I have to download the new version. I am getting very frustrated!!!! When I look in my programs the icon is not complete, and when I uninstall the program it says that there was an error in the installation and download not complete. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

My problem is a little different.
Yesterday, I received a notice to download an update to flash player. I did so, but it was just as Microsoft Word started up. The installation took forever and eventually I received a message to the effect the installation was incomplete.
I also discovered a new user account had been created on my computer. Its name is 'bimvhcba'. Inside the account is a Windows-free zone -- basically a black screen. I deleted the account through control panel and rebooted. I do not seem to be able to rid my computer of this account.
My computer is a laptop running Windows Vista with Chrome as the default browser. Through this site, I checked to see what version of Flash Player was running on my computer. It is the most recent one.
I have run comprehensive virusscans and spyware scans. No malware turns up.
I'm baffled. Any suggestions you have would be welcome.

Facetime will not let me login

I tried to add my friend on facetime today but whenever we tried to call one another it said that the other person was unavailable. I tried to change which email I was using because I have more than one email set up with my facetime, but now facetime will not let me log back in. I have the right apple id and password but it still won't work. Any suggestions of what to do?

I have the same problem! If anyone has the answer it would be helpful, I would love to use my FaceTime again.

IMessage will not complete sending massages

Im currently using OS X Yosemite Version 10.10 (14A379b), this has only happened when I upgraded Messages will not complete sending any messages and will not keep received messages. If i quit out of it it will say "Are you sure you want to quit? Some chats have messages you haven’t read." When the message has be received by the person receiving the message and has replied back.

Hi,
Messages only gets updated when the OS does and then not at every update the OS gets.
That is to say that Yosemite's version of Messages is still called Messages 8 (whereas a Upgrade has in the past renumbered the app as that are changes) but at OS X 10.10 to OS X 10.10.1 there is not an update to Messages.
During all the Mavericks updates there were only three Build changes to Messages (you can only see this in some Crash logs that the app creates)
Read Messages at this point refer to the ones arriving at your end.
The reply might be short enough that the Notification (if you use them) or the summary in the Side bar of Messages is enough to "read" that message but essentially means you have not pulled that chat/Conversation to the "Front".
In this Pic the chat between two of my own Accounts is the "Front" one.
The OK in the conversation with Susan is all there was in that response.
The "Are you stuck ?" question to Lucy is all I sent on that occasion and there was no reply.
I am not sure what you are meaning in your first sentence.
In what way and incomplete messages being sent ?
And also on what way are received ones not being kept ? Saved chats not working, iMessages chats not sowing "history" ?

Have just downloaded the new iSO6 and now my facetime will not work. I have checked the settings and all looks fine. Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

Have just downloaded iSO6 to my ipad and now facetime will not work properly. It will take incoming but will not allow to make a call. Could anyone offer suggestions to the problem please?

Hi Deb,
Deauthorizing all is definitely the way to go. You will just need to authorize your computer again after, as well as your husband's.
Here's some additional information on deauthorizing all:

Facetime will not work, blank screen

I just got the new iphone 4. Facetime will not run on it. OS is updated, phone is not jailbroken. Every time I try to make a call via facetime, I can see myself in the little box in the corner, but there is no picture on the rest of the screen. It's blank. On the other side of the call, my friends can see one frozen frame of me but no video or audio. After 30 seconds the phone says 'call failed.' The worst part is that every time I try to make a call to someone, facetime freezes my internet. I've never had internet problems before, but now, if I try to put a call through facetime, I lose all internet signal and have to reset the router to get internet back on in the house. Any ideas? Or should I simply take the phone back?

Click on the link provided by stedman1 and follow the troubleshooting steps there.
You can also try to Reset Network Settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
You can also try resetting your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears. Once the Home screen redisplays, make sure your Wifi is on, and try again.

Welcome to the Apple community.
A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.

My iPod 5th gen will not completely turn on it shows the apple symbol then shuts off I have restarted it and tried to plug it into my computer but cannot find it to restart it
Its been like this for awhile and I can not fix it

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I have two Apple ID's associated with my e-mail and Facetime will not verify the one I use. How can I eliminate the other ID?

I am running to into a problem using Facetime as I seem to have two Apple ID's attached to my e-mail. Facetime will not verify my e-mail address because it is associated with the other account. What can I do???

Some things are mixed up here, seemingly...
I seem to have two Apple ID's attached to my e-mail.
An Apple ID is a valid email address, apparently. How can those be "attached to your email"... what email?
Facetime will not verify my e-mail address because it is associated with the other account.
This doesn't make sense. You can register multiple, even non-Apple-ID, email addresses and their aliases with FaceTime.
So, maybe you can explain your problem better - what you want and the steps you've taken and what you have so far. If something doesn't work, please tell the exact error message, too.
