I CAN'T configure FaceTime

HELP!!!
I need to use FaceTime (for the first time), on a Macbook with Mac OS X  10.7.5!
I put my Apple ID and my password (both are working and are accepted).
Then, it asks me to confirm my e-mail. After doing it, it takes sometime, but a window opens and I'm told that my e-mail wasn't confirmed! Also, it says that I should check my internet connection and try again! (Everythings OK with my Internet connection, plus, I'm currently connected with my ethernet cable, just to make sure).
SOMETIMES, after closing the software and opening it up again, and, after putting my Apple ID and password, I'm asked to choose my place of residence (in my case, Portugal). After that, I'm asked to confirm my e-mail adress! And everything starts again...
I assume I'm doing something wrong...
Can anyone please give any information regarding this?
Thank you in advance by any information you may provide me with.
Kind regards.

Hi Frank,
I'm a horrible and dangerous type of programmer..
Horrible (mostly for myself) because I don't have a mac at work I just have one at home, which *** for me daily, and also means I don't really have any vital info on the mac. Most stuff is backed up either in iCloud/Dropbox, external drives, or plain old email.. (no need to tell me what you think, I think it too). The 256GB SSD that was used for backup with my Airport Extreme was lent out to a friend. Half a year ago. For his girl. I'm his best man this Saturday, so yeah.. I'll buy another one
Dangerous because I'm good enough with my own computers that I swear to god, I never needed a backup yet. This is the first time the use of having one ever came up, and quite honestly nothing's exactly lost.. so one might even say I saved money by not having a drive rot away for nothing all these years. But I know, I know.. I'll get my backups working again asap.
More importantly: I just googled "combo updater", had no idea what it was or that one existed. It's downloading, it would be awesome if this fixed it. I'll write back on this.
Thanks!

  • Can I configure an external drive to be password protected or do I need to buy an external hard drive already password enabled

    I asked at a Hong Kong apple shop if they had password protected external drives.  They didn't, I bought one anyway.
    I'm wondering can I configure this drive.  If yes, what do I need to do?

    This looks like the easiest and most direct method and since it uses Disk Utility it would work on any OS.

  • How can I configure iCloud so it doesn't restore deleted or moved emails on my Mac?

    I moved to iCloud, and so far it looks like everything is where it's supposed to be. My question is about syncing. When I delete an email on my Mac, iCloud restores it. How can I configure iCloud so that changes I make on my Mac and my iPhone stay changed?

    On the Mac in System Preferences > iCloud
    Make sure Mail & Notes is selected.
    ON the iPhone tap Settings > iCloud
    Make sure Mail is switched on.
    And try restarting your Mac and iPhone.

    I can't get FaceTime or iMessage to connect, I enter valid password (tested and works for Apple account) and it won't connect. I have checked all settings, upgrades iOS to 8.3 rebooted, changed Apple acount PW still wont connect. My internet connection is fine Safari works and I can access all sites. I have an iPad 2. Any help on this will be greatly appreciate.  iPad 2, iOS 8.3

    This is an ongoing problem as you will see by searching the forum. 
    Out of curiosity, do you have 2 step verification enabled?  It was recently extended to include iMessage & FaceTime & I'm wondering if it might be causing some of the issues that some users are experiencing.

  • Can you use FaceTime using two iPads with same apple id

    Have two iPads for wife and I. Both use same apple ID account. Can you use FaceTime between them?

    Heres what you do. got to settings>facetime>add an email and than add another email (note: cannot be the same email that you use on your apple ID) A verifaction email will be sent. Go to your email account and verify the email by clicking on the link. Now using the other ipad, make a facetime call to the email you just verified and you can now facetime between the two!
    One more side note. Make sure that only the email you just verified has a check mark on it. The other ipad shoud have a check mark next to the orginal apple ID email.

  • TS4268 I can't activate FaceTime & iMessage on my iPad ... Would this have anything to do with already having these set up on my iPhone with the same apple ID?

    I can't activate FaceTime & iMessage on my iPad ... Would this have anything to do with already having these set up on my iPhone with the same apple ID?

    As long as you're logged into the same AppleID on both devices, this is not a problem.  It's only a problem if you're logged into a different AppleID and then try to associate FaceTime with an email that tied to the other AppleID.

  • Can I use Facetime between two devices which both are signed in to the same Apple ID?

    Can I use Facetime to communicate between two Apple devices which are each signed into the same Apple ID?

    And use the new address to call that device.
    What new address?
    Perhaps you mean the OP needs to add a new email address for his AppleID and use that email address.
    Yes. That's what I meant.
    Change the "You can de Reached by Facetime At" for one of them under Settings->Facetime->You can be Reached by Facetimer At.
    I probably should have specified "Change the "You can de Reached by Facetime At"(email address) ...
    NOW TO CORRECT:  Even though I said you could, you can't.
    I tried this out just now and you can't facetime a device using the same Apple ID.
    So yes, you infact need another Apple ID for this. Not just another email address.
    My Bad. sorry.  I don't deserve the 10 points.

  • 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

    Hope you can help.
    I have added a new email address but kept my Id, but I get busy when trying from iPhone to iPad as they are clashing. Like find my iPhone app hence trying to keep them all on one account

    IOS: using facetime http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4319
    using an ipad will use the email address since you can't make a phone call.  see the link.
    Your basically calling/emailing yourself that's why your getting a busy signal.

  • How can I configure my new Mac Pro to output the timeline via HDMI

    How can I configure my new Mac Pro to output the timeline in FCP 7 (yes, I have X, but I'm using 7 right now). I have two monitors running from TB2, but want to have the third for a client monitor.
    If I use all three via TB2, it's literally three monitors, and I want to edit on my CineDisplay. I only want the client to see the timeline video on the third monitor. When I hook up HDMI I get no signal, in fact, I can't have the HDMI cable hooked up for TB2 to work with the third.

    If you use all ThunderBolt displays, or stick with DisplayPort and Mini DisplayPort (free conversion between the two with only a cheap cable) you can have up to six displays.
    If you attach "legacy" displays with "any-old adapter", you can have up to two, and the built-in HDMI counts as one if you use it.
    Any more requires ACTIVE Adapters.
    The US$100 Apple ACTIVE Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter works in every case, even displays over 1920 wide.
    StarTech and Accell make US$35 ACTIVE adpters that work for displays up to 1920 wide.

This works fine from my laptop - not air printing from that one though.  I can't find anywhere on the iPad how to do printer settings and this also seems not to be available as an option when doing a printout.  In fact, no options seem to be available.  Thanks in advance for reacting!

    There is currently no option for this. You can give Apple feedback here:

  • How can I configure ReFS to NOT fail read operations when a checksum error is detected (on non-Storage-Spaces volumes where data integrity streams are enabled)?

    According to William Stanek, in his Windows Server 2012 R2 Inside Out: Configuration, Storage & Essentials book, this is apparently possible: (pg. 615 - here it is on Google Books: https://books.google.ca/books?id=0IyfBAAAQBAJ&pg=PT819&lpg=PT819&dq=read+operation )
        Integrity can be enabled when the system is not running on Storage Spaces. When
        integrity is enabled and ReFS detects a checksum mismatch, ReFS logs an event and
        fails the read operation by default. If you don’t want the read operation to fail, you
        can configure ReFS to continue with the read operation. A related event will be logged
        regardless.
    So then how do I configure it to do that???
    (And just to make it super-clear, I'm NOT using Storage Spaces, so there is no redundancy via mirroring/parity, and I'm not expecting any file repair - just detection of corruption. It's just a basic volume formatted with ReFS and
    with integrity streams enabled, via format E: /fs:ReFS /i:enabled
    For those who want more details, here's the situation: 
    I try to perform a read operation on a file with corrupted data (purposely done for testing using a low-level disk editor), I get a the following error message:
    And an event ID 133 from ReFSv1 gets logged in the System log:
    Clicking "Try Again" just brings up the same message, and clicking "Skip" skips the operation entirely.
    This is indeed the correct default behaviour.
    What I want instead is for the read operation to be allowed to complete, with corrupt data and all, and ONLY for the event to be logged. And according to William Stanek, this is supposed to be configurable somewhere - and after hours of searching, I haven't
    been able to find anything.

    Hi Tommy,
    >>How can I configure ReFS to NOT fail read operations when a checksum error is detected
    We can use PowerShell command Set-FileIntegrity to configure this. The specific parameter for controlling this behavior is
    -Enforce <Boolean>which indicates whether to enable blocking access to a file if integrity streams do not match the data.  
    Regarding this point, the following article can be referred to as reference.
