Facetime won't open

I recently installed facetime 1.0.2 on a Macbook pro with osx 10.6.8. Facetime invariably loses sound from my end during every conversation after an indeterminate time. Facetime will also often not even open when I click the doc icon.
Help please:)

Hi jaybird24,
It sounds like there may be something wrong with the installation of this app. The best troubleshooting step will be to uninstall, then reinstall the application from the Mac App Store.
For information on how to do so, see this article:

Thanks,

  • Updated my mac to mountain lion 10.8.3 and now my app store, mail or facetime won't open. Also, I am not longer able to play videos through firefox. I tried downloading the combo for mountain lion and it refuses to install? Can anyone help me?

    updated my mac to mountain lion 10.7.8.3 and now my app store, mail or facetime won't open. Also, I am not longer able to play videos through firefox. I tried downloading the combo for mountain lion and it refuses to install saying that I need to see developer. Whenever I try to open my appstore, mail or facetime it says that the programmes need to be installed and might not be compatible with this version of mac operating system. Can anyone help me?

    It's not a bad install of Mountain Lion. I've had the same thing happen to me, but it affected not only Mail, but a variety of other programs including iPhoto and MS Office, where I had to delete preferences, caches, and reinstall the OS as well as the program itself. I'm still having issues with Mail, so I've gone to another program.
    Everything was fine upon the initial install. I restarted my iMac about two weeks after the install, and that's when the issues began to happen. I've reinstalled Mountain Lion twice, but the same issues arise.
    As I mentioned above, you'll need to figure out which preferences are causing the issue, then reinstall the program, as a fresh reinstallation will do you no good unless you wipe the drive completely.
    Here's a thread that helped me with iPhoto:

  • App Store, Messages and FaceTime Won't Open

    I own a Macbook Pro (15-inch mid 2010), OS X Mountain Lion (10.9.5)
    I was using my Messages App just this morning and all of a sudden it stopped working.
    I have tried opening it from the Applications Folder as well as directly from my Dock.
    What happens is the icon for the Messages App bounces several times (usually three after I press it the first time) and the screen will not appear.
    The icon shows currently that I have three unread messages and even when I hold and click and try to open a "new message" or an "unread message" the screen won't open.
    I tried several other apps just to see if this was an isolated incident, but I found that FaceTime, App Store and iPreview will not open either. They all bounce a few times, but they will not open a screen. My App Store even shows that there is one new update, but it won't open.
    I have tried so many things from a lot of older threads but I am completely clueless on what to do.
    Can anyone help me?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:

  • FaceTime won't Open on OSX 10.6.8

    So I just bought the official FaceTime app from my Mac's App store for $0.99. It downloaded and installed uninterrupted. My issue is that It won't open at all. I'm now attempting to delete/trash the app, in hopes of reinstalling it, but I can't do that completely, because "PhoneNumbers" and "FaceTime" are in use. I don't understand how either can be in use, considering the only programs running are "Finder" and "Safari". When I did try to run FaceTime, it always gave the error, saying it couldn't run and had to shut down.
    Help me, Apply Support Communities. You're my only hope.

    Did you go through the verification process where Apple sends you an e mail for the purpose of verifying that your address is valid?
    If I remember correctly, you must respond to a link in the e mail to verify.

  • FaceTime won't open since Mountain Lion Upgrade

    Ever since upgrading my retina macbook pro to Mountain Lion, my FaceTime App won't open. The camera works just fine in PhotoBooth, so I don't think that's the issue. The application itself just won't open. No errors or anything come up. When I right click the icon in the dock, it just says "Application Not Responding".
    Any ideas???
    Thanks!

  • Facetime won't open on my iMac

    I have an iMac i7 with OS x 10.6.4 but the facetime.dmg file won't open it says the following disk images can't be opened because of "invalid checksum." What is that, and how do I get it to work? I need to vid chat from my comp to an ipod touch. Please help!

    See my respond here. It could help you too in case you have PeerGuardian installed on your machine. I've had this problem for the last two months and it was driving me nuts (especially because my iPad and my iPhone, both worked perfectly on my home network, the same one I was trying to get my iMac to work with) and no one was able to fix it. Until today, I finally found out what was causing this Facetime signing in problem.

  • FaceTime won't open. Error -1712

    Was using FaceTime last night and wasn't working well, kept freezing. Today won't open at all keep getting error message -1712

    I have also deleted the Preference files from the system Library.
    Plus deleted the app, and reinstalled.  However, I am only able to reinstall from the zip file I downloaded back in 2010, as I did not buy it through the App store, so it isn't  in my list of purchased apps.

  • My FaceTime won't open with OS X 10.10.1

    I am using OS X 10.10.1 on my iMAC and overtime I try to open FaceTime.app it crashes.  Reopens give me the same crash.  Is there any way to reinstall this version of the App or are there other solutions?

    Launch the Console 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 and start typing the name.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if Safari crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • Facetime is supposed to come with Mac OSX 10.9.1 right? It won't open until I sign in with Apple ID, it still won't open after signing in and the worst part, it doesn't recognise my Apple ID and asks me to sign in again and again...

    Facetime is supposed to come with Mac OSX 10.9.1 right? It suddenlt requires me to sign in with Apple ID. So I did and it still won't open. The worst part is that it doesn't even recognize my Apple ID no matter how many times I try fill it out again and again. I've seen this happen when I first bought the Imac last year, it was fixed by replacing the host file (with some help from the community here). I did the same thing again, it didn't work.
    Any idea please?

    It's fixed by changing the account name (Apple ID) and password

  • My iphone 4 camera shutter won't open. I have already done a restore and I am using the latest iOS. The front facing camera works during FaceTime but crashes when I switch to rear camera. in Camera mode I can't switch to front camera.

    My iphone 4 camera shutter won't open. I have already done a restore and I am using the latest iOS. The front facing camera works during FaceTime but crashes when I switch to rear camera. in Camera mode I can't switch to front camera. I plan on replacing this phone with an iphone 5s when it comes out but I need this phone to work until then.

    When you did the restore, did you restore from a backup or restore as new? The final step of user troubleshooting is to restore as a new device, not from a backup. If you restore as a new device and the camera still does not function, it is probably a hardware issue. Make an appointment at the Apple Store Genius Bar and have the device checked by a Genius.

  • HT201398 FaceTime & Messages now won't open on my iPad. Now no toggle switch in settings. Log in with my Apple ID sends activation error message 'try again'. Both Apps work on my iPhone & Mac.Any help?

    FaceTime & Messages now won't open on my iPad. Now no toggle switch in settings. Log in with my Apple ID sends activation error message 'try again'. Both Apps work on my iPhone & Mac.Any help?

    Adjusting the date or time didn't do anything for me either. I'm guessing my two options are to either do the full restore from scratch and not apply any backup ... Or possibly wait for an iOS update that might resolve this issue.
    I'm not that much of an avid twitter user that I need it implemented natively in all my devices - so for now I'll probably value all my game save data, internal settings in apps e.t.c. over that functionality (or over the amount of work it would be to get me back to where I am now after a full wipe). I'll see what happens after the next iOS delta update. I'll reevaluate the full wipe after that if the issue hasn't been resolved

  • IMessage, Facetime, Software update, Appstore and other apps won't open

    Hi,
    I've been struggling on this for a few weeks now. I rarely open this apps thats why it's only now I flag a question.
    So every time I open iMsg, Facetime, PhotoBoot, Software update, App Store, Calendar, Reminders, FontBook and Terminal, it will just bounce for a few times on the dock and will not open.
    The apps that open are: iPhoto, Garageband and Notes
    I already googled this and it seems that I'm not the only one.
    The solutions that I get are the Disk Utility permission and the resetting the fontbook. I tried the Disk Utility Permission but didn't work. The fontbook won't open so I can't do that trick. Also ther terminal won't open. I also deleted the files in the Preferences folder but no luck.
    I don't have the DVD or the disk that comes with this mac so is there any other ways that can help me resolve this problem other than taking it to the shop?

  • Installing 10.9.2, "shutdown because of a problem", now Mail won't open and App Store won't work.

    While installing OS X 10.9.2, my MacBook Pro suddenly "shut down because of a problem" (which isn't the first time that happened). Checking the Apple menu and "About this Mac" it says I have 10.9.2 installed. I tried to see if I could reinstall the update, figuring something went wrong when the computer shut down, but the App Store won't work, clicking on "Updates" or any other tab doesn't change the screen from the App Store icon in the center. Mail also won't open, which is what I ; I tried to see if I could reinstall the app, but I don't have the CD that the support page said I needed. It seems to be only Mail and FaceTime that won't open so far. How do I fix this?

    I took it in to my university's apple care and they wiped and reinstalled the OS.
    Next time I will just go in and ask, since it doesn't look like anyone else is getting any real help with this problem!
