How do I set up FaceTime for Mac on OS X Yosemite

I tried to get the app but get an error that OS X is too new

Facetime is already included, there is no need to download a version. The version shown in the App Store is for older operating systems.

How do I set up pages for mac and ipad to share a document and keep them synced.

How do I set up pages for mac and ipad to share a document and keep them synced.

You can upload them from Mac to iCloud and then download on the iPad. They only directly sync between iOS devices. The Mac version of Pages has more options that are not available on iOS. If you use a font that is not available on iOS it will change the font. Some layout options aren't available either.

Setting up FaceTime for Mac

I've successfully installed FaceTime on my 27" iMac using my Apple ID and MobileMe email address. Tried to do the same with my wife's Apple ID and MobileMe on my second iMac (a 21.5") but to no avail. Ditto with my daughter's Apple ID and MobileMe email on the same iMac. I'm either told the ID is "permanently unauthorized" or "invalid". Could it be that both of these are secondary IDs on my main MobileMe account and not standalone IDs?

How do I update my FaceTime for Mac software?

I haven't used FaceTime on my Mac with FaceTime on my iPad in a while. Now I find that the connection fails immediately every time.
The Mac is running 10.6.8, which per a document Apple has been circulating addressing this problem, suffices.
However, per the same document, the FaceTime on the Mac is not up to par. It is 1.0.2 rather than 1.0.5.
My question is, how do I update the FaceTime software? I already have the feature that lets me know when software needs updating and it hasn't come up. I also tried running that manually, but nothing came up. I also see no way to update the software from within FaceTime.
Could this also mean that the FaceTime software on my iPad is out-of-date? I don't even know where to find what version it is running...please let me know. Also, my iPad is running iOS 7.1.2, which I believe would suffice.

I'm suspecting he tried to download the file in the OSX store as I did. When I tried it, it wouldn't let me download it as I currently have it installed from a non-app store location and it won't let me download it. I presume I have to delete my current copy before downloading it.
Do you know if it works as promised?

If I already purchased FaceTime for Mac and recently upgraded my HD. How can I retrieve that app again? I found it in my Time Machine back up, but the files won't work. Please help.

Nope. I do the same exact thing. If you have DVD's and blu-rays you can't download a free application called Handbrake. You can set it to Apple TV2 automatic format and they will come out as playable m4v's that can play I'm iTunes. All you have to do is turn on Home Sharing in both iTunes and your Apple RV and you'll be good to go!

Problem with facetime for mac

hello guy! I've got a problem with facetime for mac.My sister has a I-pod touch fourth generation with factime but i cna't phone her a message come on my mac.It say "xxx can't receive facetime's calls"!Can you help me??

Thanks, Dah•veed.
I did see mention of using Google Public DNS while I was searching the forums prior to posting, but to be honest didn't think it was a DNS-related problem.
However, to rule it out I've set the prefered DNS servers on my router to Google's, but FaceTime still disconnects after 4-5 seconds when calling between me and my brother-in-law. It doesn't matter who initiates the call.
As a test, before I made the changes to my router, I logged into FaceTime as him on my MBP and tried calling myself on my iMac, and that was successful.
The same test between the two iMacs when they were here was unsuccessful, so now I'm definitely thinking it's something on the '08 iMac.
Now I just need to figure out what...

How do I adjust display resolution for Mac Mini? Text does not look crisp. Using Samsung 27 inch monitor with HDMI input

Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Displays. Depending on your version of Mac OS X, it may be set for "Best for Display" in which case it should already be set at the optimum for your monitor, or it may display resolution options in which case you should set it for the native resolution of your display.

How do I set time limits for my iphone?

You know how there are parental controls on the macs in the settings. In there you can set up time limits of how long you can use the computer for but I can't find it on the iphone where you can set time limits for use. I looked at the restrictions sections but I don't see anything on setting time limit. How could I set time limits for use on my phone? I go on my phone too much and I really have to set restrictions to limit my time on it.

There are apps you can download i believe to do this.

Cannot sign in to Facetime for Mac

Try as I might, I have been unable to sign into FaceTime for Mac on my Mac. Each time I try, I get the the little twirling circle, then eventually end up with a response in red saying, "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again."
There is nothing wrong with my network connection. I'm able to access anything else that I want through the connection. I have deleted and reloaded the FaceTime for Mac application, I have checked that I have all settings for location, date and time, and everything else, set up as outlined in all the discussion boards with all required permissions. I'm running the latest versions of all software. Still no joy, I'm just not able to access FaceTime from my Mac.
Anyone have any other suggestions? The folks at the Genius Bar seemed unable to offer any ideas.

This is a follow up to my initial posting. I placed a call to Apple Support this afternoon. After the initial agent there was unable to resolve the issue, I was transferred to a more senior technical person. He stepped me through a whole bunch of trouble-shooting exercises, none of which worked. He then had me go into a utilities mode and into an area to "repair permissions" on my hard drive, an evolution that took several minutes, and from what scrolled up my screen, looked as though there were quite a few repairs to be made. The tech said this isn't unusual, and most were probably very minor.
Anyway, after the utility completed, he had me restart the computer, then try again with the FaceTime activation. This time, the activation went through without any problem. I have no idea what "repair permissions" does, but it did resolve my problem and allowed me to activate FaceTime.

HT4759 How do I set up icloud for my ipod shuffle on my new computer windows 8. I downloaded the icloud but it tells me that i don't have the icloud and I cannot add songs to my ipod.

How do I set up icloud for my ipod shuffle on my new computer windows 8. I downloaded the icloud but it tells me that i don't have the icloud and I cannot add songs to my ipod.

An iPod Shuffle can't use iCloud. It can only be used on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a supported Mac or PC.
Also you can't create and iCloud acount on your PC (or your iPod Shuffle). You have to create your account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.2) or higher. After creating the account on one of these devices you can sign into it on your PC. But this still won't allow you to add songs to your iPod Shuffle as it doesn't support iCloud.

How do I set a reminder for the last day of every month

Have I missed something? But how do you set a reminder for the last day of every month to recurr indefinatley in iOS6? Sorry if this is really simple but I just can't seem to work it out. Any help gratefully received.

Hey Mattye88 not sure if you have seen but actully you can do this, but for some reason you have to use Siri. If you bring up Siri and say "set a reminder ever 4 weeks from next wednesday to check the gas meter" it will set one and it will work just fine, I have reminders to water a Bonsai every three days and it works fine it just shows as custom repeat on the user interface. Alas it seems you can not use Siri to set one for the end of the month though which is why I am in this threed. Still hope it helps you to know how to sort this problem atleast.

How do I set numbered lists for headings in Pages 5.2, and keep that system of numbered lists saved?

I have tried to set numbered lists for headings in Pages 5.2 but have not succeeded. I have read similar questions concerning this but this has not helped me...
When I say numbered lists I mean something extremely important and simple, for instance:
1. Introduction
1.1. Background
1.2. Purpose and Questions
2. The Legality of Clause X
2.1. Legality under Article 101.1
2.2. Legality under Article 101.3
And so on...
Heading 1. is selected as "Heading", 1.1 is selected as "Heading 2", and if I had 1.1.1 it would be selected as "Heading 3" and so on...
I have navigated my way to the Format window, and under the tab "Style" and down to "Bullets & Lists". I have here selected the following: Numbered, Numbers, 1. 2. 3. 4., Tiered Numbers, Continue from previous.
There are several problems with this currently.
First, based on the example it becomes "2. Background" when it should be "1.1 Background" instead.
Second, after writing some body text between the headings and then select a new heading, all the previously selected settings I mentioned above in "Bullets & Lists" have to be reselected.
So, how do I set numbered lists for headings, or so called sub-headings, in Pages 5.2? And how do I keep that selected system of numbered lists saved so I don't have to retype it for every new heading I type? (e.g. so that Pages knows that every time I choose Heading 2, I want it to number the heading in the way selected)
Obviously, manually writing the numbers for every heading is not a viable option, as it makes table of contents problematic and is simply tedious. You need an automatic way of doing it, especially if you write long documents where keeping headings in order is absolutely essential.
Also, reverting back to previous Pages versions (like v. 9 I think?) is not an option as that does not exist on my recently purchased Macbook Pro.
I need to be able to do this on Pages 5.2 and do it automatically.
I appreciate any help with this.

iWork '09 is not "outdated" it still works and works extremely well and whilst not perfect with MsWord it is far far better than Pages 5.2 which has a stream of major issues with exporting. It is also way better and faster to use than Microsoft Office.
So what is your time and work actually worth? If it is less than $19.99 for 6 months, you may as well just chuck it in and take that job on minimum wages.
You are assuming things for Office 2014 with absolutely no inside knowledge. Much as we assumed Pages 5 was going to be the long awaited improvement, but ended up being a downgrade to match the iOS version, Microsoft is headed the same way with their mobile versions.
This is not like getting the "latest" pair of pants where you go with the crowd and throw out your cigarette legs which replaced the flares, which replaced your low cuts which replaced your cigarette legs, which replaced…
This is work.
If it does the job and does it well, use it. There is nothing out there to really match what Pages '09 does. Yet.
LibreOffice can do most but not all, but has a UI that only a mother could love. It's great redemption is that it uses both open formats and the standard Microsoft formats and is under active development. It also opens and saves to just about everything. When they finally work out the Pages formats, I'm sure they will open those as well.
I use a lot of professional software. Just because the publisher's marketing department says change the product so we can sell more, doesn't mean you have to pay any attention whatsoever. Adobe being a classical example. Most designers are just ignoring their latest subscription based bloatware and getting on with their work.
