FaceTime won't verify my email address
FaceTime won't verify my email address can anyone help????
HERE'S WHAT WORKED FOR ME: I signed out of Facetime on my mac and then I could sign in on my ipad. Suddenly after 50 attempts, my ipad verified instantly (it didn't even send an e-mail, it just verified instantly). I guess being signed in on my mac caused some kind of conflict on Apple's servers. Now for the funny part: I was immediately able to sign-in again on my mac and now both my pad and mac have working FaceTime. You just can't be signed in on your mac when you are trying to setup FaceTime for the first time on the iPad. I guess.

Every time I try to sign into Facetime from my Macbook Pro it tells me it was unable to verify my email and I need to check my connection.
I have already checked that email to make sure it is verified.The first thing I would try is going to System Preferences --> Users & Groups, and set your Apple ID to your username there.

Facetime is not "verifying" my email address
On my macbook pro (newest version of Mavericks) trying to open facetime. I sign in and then facetime shows my email address asking if that is the one I'd like to use to send calls. I click the check mark so that the email address I want is selected and then click next. A little pinwheel appears at the top of the window next to the word "verifying". It's been "verifying" my email address for over a half hour now with no progress that I can detect. I've used facetime in the past week and was not asked to verify my email, so I don't understand what the problem is. I'd rather not have to pay to reinstall a program I already have, either.
Does anyone have a solution?Hey nimbus,
Thanks for the question. Were you sent a verification email? If so, you’ll want to follow the instructions in that email:
FaceTime for Mac: Troubleshooting FaceTime
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4185
If you are unable to activate FaceTime, try the following:
Sign in to FaceTime for Mac using a valid Apple ID. After you validate the email address for use with FaceTime, other FaceTime users can connect to you using that email address. If you encounter issues registering or using an Apple ID account:
- Ensure that you have an active Internet connection.
- Verify that you are using a valid Apple ID at appleid.apple.com. You can also create an Apple ID or reset your password from this website.
- Check that your email address is verified in FaceTime > Preferences.
- If FaceTime > Preferences shows your email status as "verifying," follow the instructions in the verification email that was sent to complete the process.
- Toggle FaceTime off and on in FaceTime > Preferences.
- If still unable to Sign In follow the instructions in FaceTime, Game Center, Messages on OS X: Troubleshooting Sign in
Thanks,

Why can't FaceTime verify my email address on my Mac but it works fine on my iPhone?
I can receive and make facetime calls on my iphone but it won't work on my Macbook Pro. It used to work fine and I haven't changed my email address or password. It has now automatically logged my out and won't verify my email address to log me back in. Does anyone know how I can fix it?
chloel18,
I have been troubleshooting this issue myself for over 3 weeks now. I have looked through 20+ forums searching for answers. I know your pain. Here's what you need to do:
You need to call Apple. The problem is NOT on your end! I spoke with an Apple representative and they said that it is a "registration issue" and that THEY need to reset security settings. I waited 14 minutes but the representative found the issue then reset it and I was able to sign in.
Call 1-800-275-2273 (It's free in the US or on Skype if you're in Europe!) When you call, you'll get the standard automated secretary. DO NOT SAY ANYTHING. If you say anything, you will be told that you either need to purchase a protection plan for $19.99 or literally "end the call". Just stay on the line until you're asked if you wish to speak with a representative. Do that and you'll be connected (for free). They will ask for you Macbook Pro serial number and a "Customer Code" if you have one. Tell them how long that you've had this issue and they'll confirm your Apple ID.
Once they confirm your Apple ID, they reset everything on their end and you should be set. Make sure that you are able to send messages/make calls before hanging up. -
So our school lets us use Macbook Airs for the school year, and it has facetime on it. I know facetime isn't blocked because like everyone else is using it. So I decide to give it a try. I click the icon, it says enter your apple ID. I dont have one, so I click to make one, and do so. I then enter my apple ID and click next. The screen reads "People will call you using your email address. What email address would you like to use?" I enter my email address in the box below the message, and then go to my email and click the link, and sign in, thus verifying the email. I go back to the facetime window, and click next. At the top it says Verified, but when I click next it doesn't go on to the next step, it simply blacks out the next button so that I can not click it, and after a few minutes a message comes up that says "Could not verify the email address. Please check your network connection and try again."
So that is the issue, please help!!!!!
*Note-I repeat that I know it is not blocked by the school because everyone else uses it just fine.*Hello BassoonPlayer,
Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using. FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in. This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly. By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you. Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

Why does my FaceTime say "the server has encountered an error processing your registration"? it happens every time i try to verify my email address.
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

My daughter has an iPod and FaceTime has stopped working as she is not able to verify her email address please can you help.
As long as you can't get a hold of the device, you can't do anything more than talking to your daughter about it.
Erasing the device could also be an option to keep her from using apps you don't want her to have on her device.
Try talking first -
I just bought a new apple computer and trying to set everything up, but it wants me to verify my email, but I cannot find the link it says it sent to my email. How can I verify my email address for iCloud and iTunes, FaceTime, everything>>>Im so confused please help, thx:)
Hi Jangelique34,
Welcome to the Apple Support Community!
I understand it can be very frustrating when you cannot verify your Apple ID. If you are not receiving the email to verify your Apple ID please refer to the attached article for information on how to resolve this situation.
If you didn't receive your Apple ID verification or reset email
Cheers,
