How do you get FaceTime to work on my MacBook Air?

I got my MacBook Air yesterday, I set up an Apple I.D, and I logged into FaceTime. It kept saying that it was was still "Sigining in..." so I pressed cancel and made a new I.D. It STILL doesn't work! My mom even used her Apple I.D that she uses for her FaceTime and that didn't even work. What am I supposed to do??

Tap to click not working properly in Mountain Lion. How do I get apple to fix this major issue with mountain lion?

The tap to click does not work with mountain lion as it did before the mountain lion install. I purchased a brand new imac in August of 2011 and got a wireless keyboard and selected the wireless trackpad instead of a mouse. The trackpad worked wonderful pre upgrade with tap to click. Now after the install of the newest beast, I have to actually press the trackpad rather than a slight tap. I have carpel tunnel and this is causing great stress upon my hand. How do I get apple to fix this major issue with mountain lion?

Perhaps, I was not clear enough.
I have an imac purchased in Aug. 2011 which came with Lion 10.6 (two uprades before mountain lion)
Recently, I just purchased a macbook pro retina with Mountain Lion
On my imac, my settings allowed me to "tap to click" everything EXCEPT the initial log in at the star up of my imac, again running Lion 10.6
On my macbook pro retina which has Mountain Lion, I set up the "tap to click" option, but notice that a "hard" click was neccessary when trying to click things. I thought this was a macbook thing (my first one) so I went and upgraded my imac to Mountain LIon, BIG MISTAKE! Now both my imac AND my macbook only have limited "tap to click" options. Before mountain lion I could "tap" to highlight and select text, tap and drag, and many other thiings that Mountain Lion has disabled.
I am truly surprised that no one has noticed this MAJOR issue.
Is there a way to uninstall this update, similar to how on a PC you can go back to a restore point.
On another note even the way PREVIEW has changed is less user friendly, there used to be icons on the bottom right corner of the screen, now I have to double tap and select the option I would like to switch between contacts and thumbnails. This is really annoying and is causing me time when reviewing files.
Just in case anyone was wondering, I did go to system preferences -> trackpad -> select tap to click
In fact almost all of the trackpad functions have been selected.

I suspect security software or a firewall is your problem.

How do you get FaceTime to work right?

I am having some serious issues with FaceTime. I bought a MacBook Pro a little over a year ago and it is my first MacBook. I am currently deployed to Afghanistan and I am trying to use FaceTime and I can see and hear the person I am contacting but on their end it just shows me as a frozen turd and no sound. I have managed to get it to work a couple times but overall it never works. I have a roommate and he has the Ipad and he can use FaceTime just fine on his, so it is not the internet. Is there a way to delete FaceTime and reinstall it? Or is there another way to get this to work and I am not understanding it?

Have you considered upgrading the operating system on your Mac?
The newer versions of OS X include a newer version of Facetime with the operating system.

How do I get iphoto to work on my MacBook?

For sometime now iphoto has been opening and then crashing. It just will not work. After reading though some posts of others having this problem I decided to see if it was a app issue.

If you launch iPhoto while holding down the option key on your keyboard does it start up? If so, the problem is with your iPhoto library. If this is the case try the following:
Launch iPhoto while holding down the command and option keys.
You'll see some steps to repair your iPhoto library. Follow these steps from the top down.
Test after each repair to see if the issue is fixed.
Best of luck.

How do I get iPhoto from the app store for my OSX Lion 10.7.5 Macbook??

Hello,
I have an older macbook which I was able to install OSX Lion 10.7.5 onto, and it works good with this setup.
However I wanted to have the iPhoto app from the App Store installed on my Macbook, but looking in the App Store it says that iPhoto is compatible with OSX 10.9 or later.
How can I get a version of iPhoto that is compatible with my OSX Lion macbook??
Thanks.

Install it from the computer's original disks or an iLife DVD(check sources such as Amazon or eBay if needed).

How do I get Facetime to work on my iPod?

I have an iPod 4G w/iOS 6.1.5
My friend has a new iPhone & we're trying to connect on Facetime. I've never used Facetime before. I do have a Facetime icon on my iPod. My friend has connected to someone with an iPad. What do I need to do to make it work? Do I need to put my cell# or landline# into Facetime somehow?

Thanks again, IIIaass.
That answers my doubts about whether or not it's a 4G w/mic. There does seem to be a tiny hole next to the rear camera lens. (I thought the mic would be on the front)
So, it must be something my friend & I are doing wrong. My email & my Apple ID were already set in Facetime settings, so I'm guessing that's not it.
I'm wondering if it has to do with my friend using her iPhone # & me using an email addy?
Last night, I was trying the 'Messages' feature on my iPod(green icon w/the text bubble) & I noticed I couldn't send a message to my friend & the reason listed was because her email address isn't registered w/Apple. (?)
I'm confused, because I thought she said she had used that feature w/others, so I will ask her later.
I'm going to check out the Troubleshooting link some more & see if anything helps.

How do I get Facetime to connect on my Macbook Pro?

Hi guys,
For some reason Facetime is not connecting to anyone anymore. I cannot receive incoming calls and when I dial out, it just rings and rings and other party will tell me that they are not getting anything from me. I've read the Facetime Troubleshooting guide (http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4185) and my network is fine, Skype works fine. I don't know what the problem is. Please help.
Thanks,
