Facetime will not open on macbook

Just downloaded Facetime on my macbook which is an older model but with updated software (Lion Mac OS X 10.6.8). Have all the required hardware so far as I can tell. When I click the icon for FaceTime, I get a message: "An internal FaceTime error occurred: There was a problem with FaceTime. You need to quit and open FaceTime again." There is a "Quit" button, which I click and which I assume quits the application. But every time I click the icon the same message occurs, whether I start it from the dock or from the Applications folder. No associated menus open, either. Any thoughts?

Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so.
Sign out of iMessage on the Mac:
Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out
and on the iPhone:
Settings ▹ Messages ▹ Send & Receive ▹ Apple ID ▹ Sign out
Then, on the phone, tap
Use Your Apple ID for iMessage
Sign back into iMessage on both devices and test. If there's no change, you may have to wait for a change in network conditions.

Facetime will not open or load properly

I have downloaded Facetime onto my IMac, and it will not open correctly, just shows the black screen with camera off. At times will say there is an internal error and ask me to quit and relaunch. Cannot access preferences. Any ideas? It works fine on my Macbook and my itouch.

I'm facing the same kind of trouble. Have been working on a short iMovie (about 3 min.) where I've been using cutaway to insert images. Now iMovie won't entirely load, I can't select Projects or Events. The movie I was working on is present in the editor and I can play it by pressing the space bar, but otherwise can't be controlled.
Odd thing, the three round buttons (stop, minimize and maximize) don't show anything when I run my mouse over them. I've restarted the machine, no change.
Is there an issue in "linking" still images into iMovie projects? Do those images get copied into the movie or is iMovie simply referencing their locations on my drive?
Should I consider reinstalling iMovie? If I did that would it destroy the Projects I've created?

Itunes will not open on macbook. says requires quicktime 7.5.5 or later.

Have a macbook and when I try to open itunes it says that itunes requires quicktime 7.5.5 or later. I try to download quicktime as i have 7.5 and it tells me to manage software through the software update function. The software update function will not find an update for quicktime. Help! Not sure how to get itunes set up

Hi there,
I have also just updated my computer via the system updates. I am running OS Snow Leopard 10.5.8, and my iTunes won't open and then prompts me for a Quicktime update 7.5.5.
Now, I have gone through the Apple support and downloaded the Quicktime update 7.5.5 for OS 10.5 or later (or whatever it was - the second from the top?). Anyways, it says it installed properly and that I need to restart my laptop. Once I have restarted, iTunes still will not open and it still says I need to update Quicktime.
I have tried a few other solutions and nothing seems to work. Do you have any further suggestions on what I have to do to make this work? I'd really not like to have to use another media player to play music. And I don't really want to have to go out and buy a new laptop.. Although I'm starting to get really frustrated with the apparent lack of support for older versions.
Any thing you can suggest will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Word document will not open on macbook pro?

Hi- a Word document (2007- docx) will not open on my macbook pro. Any tips?

It's possible the file is corrupt. However if you have verified (tried on another system using Office for Mac 2011) then repost your question on the Office for Mac Product Forums

FACETIME WILL NOT OPEN

When I click on the facetime program, the screen will not open and I get a message that the camera is not funtioning and restarting the computer may help. I have restarted as well as, shut down and started back up.
Thanks

Running 'Activity Monitor' would show you a list of process. If you select 'All Processes' as shown and click on the ''%CPU" column's title bar so the arrow points down as shown as well, then you'll see right on the top of the list all of the processes that are making your computer slow.
Then, selecting the row that lists the program and clicking over the 'Quit Process' icon will terminate the program.
If clicking 'Quit Process' prompts you for an administrator id and password, then that means that the program was started by another 'User' or owner such like another person signed on in a separate account. If you are the owner of the computer in question, then your user id and password 'IS' your administrator's id and password. (ex. WindowServer is highlighted below before 'Quit Process' is clicked).
If you are running Lion, then please verify the Facetime's version installed to be the one shown below in the picture;

Facetime will not launch on Macbook

Hello,
I have a Macbook and I have the app store on it.
I downloaded Facetime and it will not run the app.
Any help?

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

Facetime will not open, just hangs & requires force quit.

I am unable to get Facetime to open at all on my Macbook Pro. The icon for Facetime bounces when clicked, but the program never opens, it just hangs. I have confirmed the time setting is correctly configured, the messaging application does in fact work properly, I have logged out and back in from the message app, I have restarted the machine, I have ensured I have all of the latest software updates. Facetime does in fact work both from my Iphone and Ipad, so I know the location isn't the issue. I thought the problem was a glitch in the previous version of OSX and when Yosemite came out my hope was that it would patch whatever the problem is, but alas, that has not been the case. I have even tried paying and downloading Facetime from the App store, but it gives me a message that the installed version is newer and does not allow me to download. Would appreciate any insight into what may be causing this issue and how I may resolve it. BTW, Skype video chat works fine. Thanks.

Back up all data.
Quit FaceTime if it’s running. Force quit if necessary. After each of the following steps, log out or restart the computer, then test FaceTime. If the problem isn't resolved, quit again and go on to the next step.
Step 1
Make sure you know the ID and password you use with FaceTime. Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Use the search box in the toolbar of the Keychain Access window to find and delete all items with "facetime" or "com.apple.idms" in the name.
Step 2
Hold down the option key and select
          Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. Move the following items from the Library folder to the Trash (some may not exist):
          Containers/com.apple.FaceTime
          Containers/com.apple.soagent
          IdentityServices
Leave the Library folder open.
Step 3
In the Preferences subfolder, there may be several files having names that begin with one of the following strings:
          com.apple.facetime.bag.plist
          com.apple.FaceTime.plist
          com.apple.ids
          com.apple.imagent
          com.apple.imservice.FaceTime
          com.apple.imservice.ids.FaceTime
Move them all to the Trash.
Also in the Preferences folder, there is a subfolder named "ByHost". Open it and do the same thing.

App Store will not open on MacBook Air

Hello - I am unable to open the Mac App Store. When I click on the App Store App it briefly apprears in the dock (less than 1/2 second) and then disappears. I have tried:
1) Restarting
2) Closing all apps, and trying again.
3) Forcing all apps closed, then closing as many things as possible in Activty Monitor
I am farily good with computers but am unable to figure this one out. I am getting to the point of reinstalling OSX but would like to keep that as a last resort.
Below are the details of my machine. Any help would be appreciated.
13in MacBook Air (Late 2010) running OSX 10.9

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting. A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; echo; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; echo; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -ef
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
{ launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; echo; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -ef
Step 4
ls -A /e*/{cr,la,mach}* {,/}Lib*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -ef
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of login items' | open -ef
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

Crossgrade, universal version will NOT open on Macbook Pro

I just got my crossgrade in the mail, and installed everything. I can open and use every studio app EXCEPT Final Cut Pro.
I checked each app, and they all claim to be universal. Here is the funny part: when i click "open with rosetta" for FCP it opens perfectly (albiet very slowly)
The other programs do not require rosetta as they seem to be running natively on my much vaunted intel chips.
Anyone have any idea what gives here?

Tried that, updating OSX etc. Nothing.
However, console spits out this when I try to run it:
dyld: Library not loaded: @executable_path/../Frameworks/AVCVideoServices.framework/Versions/A/AVCVideoSe rvices

The whole "wrong architecture" thing may be a clue..

Updated my Mac to Yosemite now my messages and FaceTime will not open due to X86-64 (Native)

It says check with the developer to make sure Messages works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X.

Documents stored in iCloud will not open on Macbook applications

None of the iwork apps; Keynote, Pages, or even Preview will open documents that were saved in icloud. They will open on my iPad, but when i try to open them on my mac, it says "the file ' ' .pages cannot be opened." I have tried closing and reopening the applications on my computer. I have tried opening various documents but none of them will open. Does anyone know why this would be happening?

Found a solution on another thread from back in 2012. Wanted to give credit where credit was due, so here you go:
