My Viewsonic monitor won't work with the Imac using the Mini Port to DVI adapter.

My Viewsonic monitor won't work with the Imac using the Mini Port to DVI adapter. I also tried the HDMI to DVI adapter ane the Mac-Mini with same result. The monitor does work on my older Macbook Pro that has the DVI connector. Is it a Software/Driver issue ?

Should be extremely simple, please carefully read Connect multiple displays to your Mac. If you still have problems then it's probably a cable issue that would be resolved by replacing the adapter cable. You should be using this adapter. If you are using a third party adapter that might be your problem!

My FaceTime won't work it won't let me sign in it says can't connect but my wifi works with my brothers what can I do to fix it?

Are you trying to FaceTime to your computer, or iPhone with your iPod? Do they share the same address? If so change the address to one of your devices, otherwise it's like trying to call yourself from the same phone. If not the problem, then I'm not understanding your question. Could you restate it with a little more detail. Good luck.

After update to Lion FaceTime won't Work.

After my Update to Lion Facetime won't Work.
I can't log in and get an Server Error.
In the Systemlogs is an entry like:
FaceTime: [Warning] TRUST validation failed with result 5
FaceTime: [Warning] FTFaceTimeServerBag: URL bag data invalid (not valid)

Same problem here..
Very frustrating..
On both Macbook Pro 2010, and Black Macbook...
Neither of which had any problems running Facetime 1.0.2 on Snow Leopard 10.6.8
Now on Lion 10.7 Facetime 1.1 will not authorise me..
"The server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later."
The error code is the same whichever Apple ID is used, and even if a non-existent user account is used. This seems to suggest that the bug is as likely to be with communication between Apple's servers and Facetime as it is a bug inside Lion itself.
Please sort it out Apple!

Adobe Flash won't work on my iMac! Help! It did before I upgraded to Mavericks!

Adobe Flash won't work on my iMac. It did before I upgraded to Mavericks. What can I do? I've already gone through the help system, chat system.

If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. In rare cases, you might have to log out or reboot to force a Flash update to be recognized. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 5.
Step 1
If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, sign in to your YouTube account and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
Step 2
If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then from the menu bar select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
Step 3
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 4
Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
Step 5
If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
Then click the button marked
Manage Website Settings...
if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
Step 6
Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
Step 7
In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

My iMessage and Facetime won't work..

My iMessage and Facetime won't work..Messages weren't sending and whenever I call someone using Facetime, it always says 'Failed'. I'm quite ****** with it. Someone know what to do????

I guess I will be the one to ask the obvious question...does the one recieving the messages have ios5?
I have tried to sens messages to other iProducts and they wouldn't go through...turns out they didn't have ios5.
Just a thought.

Facetime won't work after Lion install... No mic from isight

After installing Lion on my 2010 mac mini, Facetime won't recognize my firewire isight mic. Video comes in from the isight, but it doesn't find it as an audio input choice. System preferences recognizes it and hears your voice, but not Facetime. You can Facetime with someone but they won't hear you. Skype still works fine on Lion using the same isight (audio &video).... tried resetting PRAM but still nothing... C'mon Apple.. Lion and Facetime need a fix here!! I've read others are experiencing same issue!!

In Lion, neither the previous version of FaceTime Version 1.1 (258) from OS X 10.7.1 nor the current Version 1.1.1 (262) from OS X 10.7.2 can use external iSight's Firewire mic.
The firewire iSight camera works with Lion's FaceTime, but the iSight's Firewire mic is not available for selection in FaceTime > Video. One alternative is to use another video chat app such as iChat or Skype. Both iChat and Skype can use external iSight's mic in Lion (and earlier Mac OS versions.)

Facetime won't work without text messaging working

If your facetime does not work and you don't see the facetime button when you try to initiate a call try texting yourself. Sometimes your phone company has deactivated your text messaging when you hook up your new Iphone 4. Phone them and get it reactivated and it will work. You need three things to activate facetime. 1. Cell phone service (naturally) 2. connection to a router (wifi) and 3. text messaging that works. A text message is sent to complete the connection.
Have a great day and enjoy facetime.

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.
