Facetime with 10.6.8

I just downloaded and installed facetime on my airbook with 10.6.8. Unfortunately FT does not accept my ID. What can I do?

  • When i try to set up facetime with my Apple ID it does not let me saying it cannot verify my account?

    when i try to set up facetime with my Apple ID it does not let me saying it cannot verify my account? if i change my ID on the ipad deos it change it on my computer aswel?

    Hi
    I would try this since Apple TV is built to allow multiple Apple Ids
    On you Apple TV
    General > Settings >Itunes Store > Add New Account (put yours in here)
    Then Switch account to your Apple Id
    Cheers

  • My househoulse is full of Apple products. We have Ipad, Ipod, and Iphone, but they are all registered under same email. Therefore, we can not facetime with each other. Does anyone know how I could change this?

    How do I facetime with the same email address on the Apple product?

    The iphone identification should be its phone number, for other devices, such as ipad, ipod, imac you must generate a new e-mail address for each.  You can do this by using Yahoo mail, google mail, or perhaps the e-mail system that your internet service provider offers.  The point is, each unit needs its own id.

  • I want to Facetime my Ipad from my Iphone but they are both set up with the same Apple id.  Do I need to create a new id for one of them in order to facetime with the other?

    You should be able to call the iPad using your Apple ID from the iPhone. When calling from iPad use the iPhone's phone number to initiate the call.

  • IPhone won't facetime with daughters iPod, using same Apple ID but different email addresses.... Help

    how do you get two devices to facetime on one apple id

    Yes you can use the same apple id to facetime with two devices. I just tried it between my macbook air and my iphone 5S using the same apple id. You just need to make sure the ipod is trying to call the iphone number.

  • How to use facetime with same apple id

    If I've already downloaded facetime on my imac do I have to buy it again for my mac book which is older and didn't come with facetime? And also, my husband has taken our ipad to Asia and I wanted to facetime with him using my imac at home, however I only have one apple ID so how do we call each other if the apple ID's are the same??

    It's only 99 cents, and I do believe you'll be charged for the second download to the Macbook.  Your Mac book must have osx, 10.6.6 or later, installed.   You can use the same apple ID, but you must supply a different individual e-mail for address to the ipad, and you should also supply another different individual e-mail address to the Mac book. 

  • Is it possible to use FaceTime With my two IPad With the same email address? I Will Google to china next month And i would like to communicate With my kids.

    IS it possible to use FaceTime With my two IPad That has the same address? I Will Go to China soon And i would like to discuss With my kids from there i.e. One IPad in China And one in Montréal.

    No, this is not possible.  It would be like dialing your own phone number.  You must verify an additional new email address for your second iPad.  See the following link which will tell you how to do this.  You will need to add this new address to Facetime app in one of your iPads.

  • Can I Facetime with another user on a PC with their webcam?

    I'm trying to facetime with a friend, but they have a windows comp and a separate webcam. is it possible to do this?

    You can't use facetime with a Windows user because they don't make the application for windows. You can still video chat, there are a bunch of options there... AIM, ICQ, Skype, Windows messenger... there are a few more. You can google for another if the ones I listed aren't what you want to use.

  • Can a user facetime with more than one user at a time

    Only if you have more than one device running FaceTime at your end.
    Mac Pro Quad Core (Early 2009) 2.93Ghz Mac OS X (10.6.5); MacBook Pro (13 inch, Mid 2009) 2.26GHz (10.6.5)

  • How do I set up my iPad 2 to FaceTime with my moms iPhone 4

  • Macbook Pro Closed Clamshell FaceTime with external webcam?

    Is this possible.  I have an external monitor,keyboard, mouse etc and the twelvesouth bookarc set up so my macbook pro can be my desktop as well in closed clamshell mode.  I miss out on being able to use facetime/skype etc because the monitor I use is a 30" LED that does not have a built in webcam.  If i buy a high def webcam and attach it via USB,  would facetime use it? Could this solve my problem?
    Thanks,

    I have pretty much the same setup, 15inch Macbook Pro 2.66Ghz i7 8gb-ram and 500gb HD - I'm running Lion 10.7.2 and I've got the Mac Bluetooth Keyboard and Magic Mouse with 20inch Mac Cinema Display (no built in isight) which I 've been using with the Macbook closed. I've tried an old Logitech Webcam I had laying around but that wouldn't work. I also have an iPad2 and iPhone 4S and I've used that WebCam App that allows me to use my idevices as wireless webcams which I was able to use with SKYPE (iPhone 4S).
    So using the app "iWebcamera by dw-c" I was able to set my iPhone 4s and iPad2 as an external wireless webcam and successfully use SKYPE. I WAS NOT able to use the same method with Facetime or Photobooth, so I'd also be interested in knowing if I purchase a better/newer wired webcam if that would allow me to use FaceTime with my MacBook Pro Closed as well.
    Hope this at least gets you half way there mcbzero - it's all I have at the moment.

  • I can't sign in to my messages or FaceTime with mi apple ID.

    I can't sign in to my messages or FaceTime with mi apple ID. I keep getting this message: (Your Apple ID can't be used to set up FaceTime at this time. and it gives me this: Customer Code: 3400-5829-7815.) how do i fix?
    <Email Edited by Host>

    There is no official public documentation of that alert as far as I know, but apparently it can sometimes mean that the primary or alternate email address is invalid. Search the Web for the phrase "My Apple ID." The top hit should be an Apple web page with that title. I'm not giving a direct link because such links are never to be trusted. Sign in and verify the ID.
    Otherwise, do as the alert directs. According to reports, you won't be charged for the support call if you select "Apple ID"—not the hardware model—as the product you're asking about, and cite the "customer code" in the alert as the "validation code" when you speak to the Apple representative. I can't confirm.

    I can call my ipad with my iphone alll the time.  That's how I check up on my kids at home when I"m at work. You just set up to your iphone's facetime setting with your phone number and set up your ipad's facetime settings with your apple id (in this case it's your email)

  • HT4245 i use a macbook pro which came with facetime i have an iphone 4S as well. whenever i use the wireless on my iphone i can facetime with ease however when i use the same wireless for my mac to facetime the call always gets disconnected.

    To use factime on your Mac, I believe you will need to use your email address to do so instead of your wireless number.  Since you can't make calls on the Mac.

    You need to have a valid working messaging plan, and be connected to your cellular network in order to complete FaceTime activation for your number (see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3367).  You might want to check with your carrier to make sure you plan is properly provisioned if you think either of these might be an issue.
