HT204408 I can not get facetime to work on Mac

I can log into store and icloud but when trying to start facetime on Mac I get a "can not verify email address". I have used it successfully in the past

This happened to me too but after I had read various messages on this forum I went into system preferences/date and time and unclicked the set date and time automatically. For some reason the preferences on facetime were no longer greyed out and facetime worked again! Hope this helps

  • Can not get FaceTime to work in Lion

    FaceTime does not connect to server under Lion.

    I did face (no pun intended) the same issue and I think I've found the culprit(s).
    Like in any good conspiracy theory, there's always agents provocateurs to seek out and vanquish.
    I have replied in one other thread about it already, but cannot find which one now.
    So here it is again:
    Look in all active/open accounts in your computer if there is any other communication or notification app or program running in your computer such as:
    1- Skype
    2- iChat
    3- MS Messenger
    4- Yahoo Messenger
    5- Growl
    6- etc.
    How can you find them all if you have other accounts opened beside yours?  Answer is - use 'Activity Monitor' app for the endeavor.   Either find it in the 'Launcher' 'Utilities' group or in the 'Finder' 'Applications + Utilities' folder.  Run 'Activity Monitor' and select 'All Processes' from the drop down menu on the top right end of the application's window.  Then, click on the 'Process Name' title bar column to sort them all alphabetically.  Scroll up and down until you find them all and click the red icon 'Quit' to terminate each and every one.  The one caveat is that applications running outside of your account will require an adminstrator's approval, but I do assume you are the owner and therefore the official administrator.
    Once the relatively short task of terminating all Facetime's competitors is complete, then go ahead and start Facetime now.  It may take a longer time to start this time and you'll see the video camera's green light going off maybe for the first time ever.
    By no means I do guarantee this procedure will work a 100% with everyone, because there are so many other probable causes to the problem that this advice simpy won't apply to at all.  But, if it happens to work or not for you, then please consider replying with your results and comments so we can continue investigating and experimenting with more effective workarounds.
    If it worked for you, then the next step will be to seek and eliminate all of these applications from running at startup or sign on while logging into your account, but that's a whole different procedure altogether which I rather forego at the moment until someone request it.
    Good luck then!

  • Can not get FaceTime to work, can not get FaceTime to work

    I cannot get factime to work

    If you had looked around the forums, you would find this to be a common issue over the past few days.
    Apple will resolve it.

  • I can't get FaceTime to work, yes I have wi-fi.

    i can not get FaceTime to work, yes it's on, yes my account and e-mail match, wi-Fi is on and full strength.
    HELP.
    < Edited by Host >

    Just because you have the wifi signal strength bars, doesn't guarantee you're actually on wifi.  Can you open a website in Safari?  Can you download an App from the App Store?  If you can't, you're not on wifi.
    Did you set up facetime using your Apple ID, not necessary your email address? 

  • My ipad and iPhone have different email addresses in the FaceTime field but I can only get FaceTime to work on my iPhone, how can I get them both working on facebook

    My ipad has a different email address than my iPhone, both are mine but I can only get FaceTime to work on my iPhone but seem unable to change the email address in that field

    If the basics (restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new) don't work, you'll need to bring the phone to Apple for evaluation

  • I have a pioneer 50 inch plasma   I purchased new from the company back in 2005.   I tried to hook up an Apple Tv to the pioneer receiver that came with the TV.   I can not get it to work.   The receiver has two HDMI  inputs in the back.

    I have a pioneer 50 inch plasma + I purchased new from the company back in 2005.   I tried to hook up an Apple Tv to the pioneer receiver that came with the TV.   I can not get it to work.
    The receiver has two HDMI  inputs in the back.  However they say they are not for PC's.  Furthermore they must be set up by going to the home menu.    I tried everything, but I can not get the receiver to talk to the Apple TV. I even tried a connector that uses an HDMI to the Apple TV that has the other side of the cable as 5 RCA cables.  I could not get the receiver to see the Apple TV.   I have a newer TV in the house, it has no problem talking with the Apple TV.  But this older system seems to be handicapped in its ability to talk with the newer Apple TV system.
    My Email is [email protected] 
    Do you have any suggestions
    Thanks
    Bob

    I could not access the Apple TV on the television.   If I put the Apple TV directly into by TV, I have an external sound system (entertainment system), therefore I worry that I would by pass the audio.
    Thanks for taking your time to attempt to help!   Any more suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    It is almost as if the program does not exist on my computer. If I search for it, the only thing that comes up is the installer. I cannot find it anywhere despite the fact I have installed it numerous times, uninstalled it and conducted a fresh install, and the Adobe website checks says that it is installed.

  • I can not get reader to work on xp.

    I have installed the 9 on  Reader and can not get it to work. I installed Fixit to see and it does not work either. Is there a place on XP that needs to be checked or opened. This started after the the computer was attacked by virus and they got into the registry. Had this repaired and this is what makes me think  something is  not opened for readers to work. Any ideas out there.

    Sounds like your sytem didn't get repaired. I would take it back to the tech that worked on it.
    In the meantime, you haven't mentioned what happens when you try and get it to work so we have no syptoms to go on to help you. Plus, what is fixit?
    There is no place on XP that you need to do anything special to get Reader to work so again, sounds like your system is still hosed.
