I am currently unable to sign into Facetime.
As the title says, I am currently unable to sign into Facetime from my MacBook Pro, Mac OS x 10.6.8. This has been the case for three weeks. I have not "upgraded" to Mavericks and I have not changed any settings. I have rebooted the computer several times and checked the time zone settings (having the computer in a different time zone than the settings is apparently an issue). Everything appears to be in order. I am able to sign in to the Apple Store and this forum and my iPod 4G connects just fine with the same Apple ID and password. Any ideas?

HT204380 Unable to sign into FaceTime
I have an iMac running Mac OS X 10.6.8, a verified Apple ID and the latest version of FaceTime. When I try to sign in the computer 'thinks' for a while then gives me an error message to check my internet connection. The connection is fine as I can access the internet from the computer. I am able to use the Apple ID to run FaceTime on my iPad. I have tried my husband's ID and it does the same thing. Ideas? I am a relatively new Mac user. Thanks!
I called AppleCare yesterday to find out if my Logs had been analyzed and if they had an answer for my FaceTime issue. They did indeed have the answer. It was a "serialization problem". The original logic board in my Mac Pro 1,1 needed to be replaced, right after I purchased it, and the ASP didn't "serialize" the new board. The AppleCare rep told me to take it in to any Apple Store and they will serialize the board or replace it if necessary!!! And they refunded my $19.00 for Single-Incident support since it was due to an oversight by the original ASP! AWESOME!!!!!!!!
I shot over to my local Apple Store and within 5 minutes (FIVE MINUTES!) FaceTime was working! -
i want to reset my facetime password as i always receive a prompt which reads incorrect password, i cant remember ever selecting on, can anyone help please
Hi,
If you are getting the message to Contact Support there is no other option.
When Mountain Lion first came out and you got this message it did appear to get sorted for free.
Start here
http://www.apple.com/uk/support/itunes/
Click the Contact Support at the bottom of the menu
In the next page use the right hand Pane and the iTunes Store link.
after that generally follow "Manage Account" type links.
The process is "trying to answer questions" but you will eventually be offered an email Link.
Use that and explain the issue.
Generally the issue tends to be something specific about your account that only Apple Support can change.

Dear Friends,
I am unable to contact my friends on FaceTime last 5-6 days. Although I am connected to the Internet and browsing my mails successfully, when I sign into FaceTime with correct ID and PW a message appears ' cannot connect to server. pl check Internet connection' this is very confusing. Pl help.
thanks
ARabinda GangulyMake sure your time zone and time are correct. Have the iPad get the time automatically.

I have iphone 5 with iOS 8.1.2. I cannot use my phone because of a pop up message asking me to sign into FaceTime, which I never use. It asks me for my password for an iCloud email address that I never use, either. IThen it tells me to reset it, which I do. i receive link from Apple to reset, which I do. Then I try enter the password on phone, but it doesn't accept it.

Can not sign into FaceTime or iMessage on ipad air
For some reason I can not sign into FaceTime or iMessage using my Apple ID anymore. They both used to work, but they just stopped.. Now when I try to sign back in I get a message than an error occurred during sign in. I use two different Apple id's, one just for iCloud and one for everything else.

iPad 4-Unable to sign into Messages/Face Time?
Used to work perfectly, now keeps asking for Apple ID but won't accept. Have changed the Apple ID, still a no go. Updates to IOS 8.1.3 and tried all the other restarts etc. no luck.The fix was supposed to be updating to iOS 8.1.3 but since that didn't work, look here for some other suggestions. Make sure that you are signed into iCloud and into your Apple ID

I'm unable to sign into my face time
I'm unable to sign into my face time. It keeps making me verify my email which I've done numerous times and I've been to settings but nothing. Help?
OK, I called Apple Support (since the iPad is brand new) and got a rep to fix the problem. He manually sent a verification email, which I received, and I was able to complete the process and get Facetime working. For some reason, the Apple ID and password (as far as the iPad was concerned) needed verification. Don't know why, but am glad it is now working!

unable to sign into icloud account from my windows 7 pc. keep on getting the message serwr not available
Hi,
In the Finder use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
Select the Library that appears when you do this.
Navigate to Containers/com.apple.soagent/Data/Library/Preferences
You will notice that many of the items are Aliases (to the Originals in ~/Library/Preferences).
But there are exceptions.
Delete (Drag to Trash) the com.apple.soagent.plist and com.apple.messageshelper.AccountInfoController.plist
Restart the Mac (I have not worked out is SOAgent launches when the Mac does).
Restart Messages.
If this does not work navigate to ~/Library/Preferences
In here find and Delete com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.madrid.plist
This will need a Restart of the app.
You will be asked Again for your Apple ID

I am unable to sign into my account through Adobe Elements 12. I can sign in on Adobe's website, and through Revel online, and through my smartphone, however when I try to sign in through Adobe Elements 12 directly, the hourglass never stops turning, and turning.
Hi,
Have you tried working through this document - it does apply to Elements as well.
Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CS5.5 and later
If you still have problems you may need to contact the Adobe activation team - see the "Still need help?" link at the end of the document.
Good luck
