I can't connect FaceTime in Mc OS X Lion

Since Lion hasn't been release yet, discussion of Lion specific issues should be done in the Lion forums. Only what has info has been released by Apple on Lion can be discussed here. All other discussion needs to be on the Lion forums. Legitimate Lion testers were given links to the Lion discussion forums.

FaceTime for Mac: Troubleshooting FaceTime - Apple Support

Can't connect FaceTime with iPad 2.

After entering my Apple ID I get a message saying...
FaceTime Activation
Could not sign in. Please check your
network connection and try again.
My network seems to be working fine and am able to access the internet as well as my Apple ID account through the internet.
Please help...

Hello gents
I also had this problem and tried a number of options. Port forwarding did not do the trick and as it poses a security risk it's not the wisest thing to do anyway. But after a very long search I found another tip which was to set the DNS of every Apple device you want to run FaceTime on, to 8.8.8.8
I tried this, and now FaceTime works on my iPad2 wifi/32 and also on my iMac and my MacBook Pro. On the same wireless network!
So this action seems to solve both the "can't connect" problem and the problem of not being able to run FaceTime at the same time on multiple Macs.
Just to make sure you should write down the original DNS address which is probably 10.0.0.138..
On iPad2, exit FaceTime, then go to settings, find the wireless network you're using, and tap the blue arrow thing next to the network name. There you will be able to access the DNS number. Just change it and save settings, then start FaceTime again.
Hope this helps guys.
Good luck and greetings from sunny Netherlands

Can't connect from mavericks (MBP) to mountain lion (MacPro) via Wifi

i am trying to google for answers to this and i just come up with answers about connections to printers or hdmi or TV's etcetera.
the problem is that i can connect to my laptop (macbook pro) from my desktop (mac pro) but i can't connect from my laptop (MBP) to my desktop (mac pro). i used to be able to do this but for some reason all i see if "Share Screen" or "Disconnect" and my iCloud Account is listed as "Connected As" but there is no data shown in Finder.
does anyone know what search terms i can google for or if there is a Settings section that i should be checking?
i tried dragging the Mac Pro icon out of the Shared section and i tried hitting disconnect as well as restarting both machines and turning off wifi on the laptop (hmmm. maybe i will shut both down at the same time...?) and so far no solutions.
right now i have to go to the desktop to move files around and this is a major pain.
i can see the network and i can print...
THANKS for any help

hi. thank you. this is really aggravating. i am checking the mac pro this morning (it is the one i cannot access from my laptop) and attached is the screenshot. does this look OK?
also, i am starting to wonder is it possible that the "Computer Name" has changed itself on the network or is it possible that i have some control over /naming/ the computer? it seems to often be named "MyName Mac Pro (2)" which always bothers me since there is no 1 Mac Pro and i would like to get rid of the appended 2.
but ALSO i don't recall ever having changed anything in system preferences so i am wondering if somehow the computer renamed itself or something weird has happened.
finally, is it possible something is amiss with the fact that FINDER says it is connected via my icloud EMAIL account at the top of the Finder window on my Laptop whereas when i check just now on the desktop it shows that i am connnected as the SHORT NAME of my LAPTOP. i mean, when i connec tto the laptop from the desktop it shows me connected as the short name of the laptop but when i connect to the desktop as the laptop - it says i am connnected as the name of my ICLOUD ACCOUNT and i am thinking it should say i am connected as the name of my MAC PRO SHORT NAME.
you know what i mean? is there a place in the LAPTOP to check where i input what name and password i am connecting to the Mac Pro under...
THANK YOU

Can not connect FaceTime between MacBook pro and iPad 2. Both connected to wifi ... Both using the same account email

Both connected to wifi. Both are using same FaceTime account email address ( both my devices)

Eh la Pastenague! Je savais que tu était léthale pour l'homme mais ce sont pluôt les machines à pommes qui devraient te craindre. Merci! Solved.
For future reference.
My TC is a 3rd gen.
I actually had to reset to standard defaults not only once but twice. The first time I simply returned to my old profile but that only led to the same message error on the network settings (i.e. IP by default, cannot connect to the internet). Therefore the second time around I kept my profile as backup and re-created a new one plus a guest one.
The airport utility then signaled to issues remaining:
1) Internet access was cut - this I solved by simply reseting the cable modem
2) There were no DNS Servers - I simply copied the ones I had from the previous setup and it worked
I did have AppleCare....
I'm online again and I hope for good.
Thanks a lot
PS. a small tip - I made captures of all my settings in Network settings, Airport Utility and Network utility using Grab in case of ... if anything it is just handy to get back settings that your are missing when setting up a new configuration

Can't Connect to Server after Upgrading to Lion

I upgraded to 10.7 from 10.6.8. I've ran all the updates etc, but now I cannot connect to my OS X Server (10.6.8) or any other machine for that matter. The server appears in my finder window and will allow me to connect as a guest but if I try to login by clicking connect as or by using COMMAND+K and typing the IP I get a long wait after entering my PW only to receive an error that says "There was a problem connecting to the server "pggfx01". Check the server name or IP address, and then try again. If you continue to have problems, contact your system administrator. It should be noted that I have other machines that came with Lion that connect without issue and other machines still running 10.6.8 that connect flawlessly. PLEASE HELP, I've searched and searched with no succes.

I've tried that over and over again ( I had found that solution previously ) but it doesn't work. As a note I can connect as a guest to anything, just not a registered user. So when I get to the step that wants me to create an AFP connection it doesn't work. I type in my username & password and the little wheel spins like it's trying to connect and the error I mentioned above pops up after a really long time. Very frustrated with this upgrade, it has killed my productivity.

How Can I connect Epson R2880 printer to iMac Lion wirelessly

Can i do this with USB Bluetooth adapter, do I need a special adapter for mac. well whae do i need . printer in next room

HellO:
I do not have an Epson printer. However, I did look at their web site. It "appears" that the printer has no built-in wireless connectivity. However, I "think" you could set up a little wireless network with an Airport Express (see description on this web site). Do some research before you spend any money.

How can i connect my IMessage into the Mountain Lion (MacBook Pro)

I'm trying to enable receving my Imeesages in my MacBook Pro but I don't know how, Wish someone can help me.

Open Messages from the applications folder, the Lauchpad, or your dock if it's setup there. Go to Messages, Prefereces ..... and select accounts. Your Apple ID should be already setup. If it's not you can add it. If you use more than one ID and it's the wrong one, you can delete the account from messages by going to Account Details and Sign Out. Then, add the Apple ID you want to use.
It appears that the syncing with iPhones is only working if you use your Apple ID email as the "Caller ID" on the iPhone and that the sync up with your phone number may not be happening until iOS 6 comes out this fall. I'm not sure though. I just know that mine isn't syncing with messages sent to my phone number and from other posts, it appears that other people are having the same issue.
I hope that helps get you going.

Can't connect to Remote time capsule in Lion

I have several Macs: in my office, at home in the UK and in the US. I also have time capsules in the three different locations. (Office, home and US). All time capsules are set to share over WAN.
My MacBookPro2011 and MacBookAir2011 both run OSX Lion, whereas my Mac Mini and MacBookPro2009 run snow leopard. In the finder under "Shared" my Lion computers do not list my remote time capsule, whereas the Snow Leaopard machines do. How can I rectify this? All machines are logged in to back to my mac.
Many thanks....

Thank you for your help thus far - its very much appreciated.
In the US the TC is the main network-facing router. In the UK the TCs are part of networks, but not as the main router.
I was rather baffled by the whole thing. I have added my wife's appleID as an authorised user to the UK time capsules - and she can see them both. Similarly she entered my appleID as an authorised user of her time capsule. I've read all the Apple instructions as to how the new BTMM facillity in iCloud should work and how to authorise access through the Airport Utility. I'm just vexed as to why it works with the Snow Leopard machines and not with the Lion machines - and concerned that if that is the case, once MobileMe is switched off, it won;t work at all!
I'm working on getting static IP addresses for both, but was rather hoping it would be sraigtforward with the existing Apple setup!

10.6.8 MBPro Screen Sharing suddenly can not connect to our other Macs.

We've used Screen Sharing from our MBPros for the past few years to manage our Mac file & media servers. Last year we replaced our G5 file server with a Mac Mini with Lion server. No problems - we could still use Screen Sharing to manage both this Lion file server and the Snow Leopard MacPro that's hooked up to our TV (among other things).
Friday morning my MBP could not see or connect to the Lion file server - the MBPs have the Lion server's data drives in Login Items so they mount when we log in. I also cound not Screen Share to either the Lion server or the SL MacPro. I checked the MBP's ethernet connection and could get to our router and the internet. When I tried to connect via Screen Sharing (by using the Share Screen... button in a Finder window, by using the Connect to Server command with vnc:// protocol, or by using the ScreenSharing menulet) I would get the "Connecting to Lion server" alert but nothing further. I left it for 10 minutes or so and it eventually disappeared but the connection never opened.
I checked the two servers and both were up and running. From the SL MacPro I could use Screen Sharing to get to the Lion server - and my MBPro too. From the Lion server I could Screen Share to the MacPro and my MBPro also.
The problem appeared to be with my MBPro. I switched to an unprivledged user account on it and found I could then get to both servers using Screen Sharing. So it was just my account on the MBPro. Rebooting did not help. Turning on AirPort, connecting to our home AirPort Extreme and unplugging the ethernet cable did not change anything with my account connecting to the servers.
I figured something somehow got pranged in my account's credentials. I used Keychain Access to delete all keychains containing the servers' names, IP addresses or sharing. I was asked for my credentials when I mounted the server's shared drives, but not when I tried Screen Sharing - got the same "Connecting to Lion server" or "Connecting to media server" dialogues and was never asked for username or password, but never connected either.
I cleared all caches using the utility Maintenance in case my MBPro was using invalid cached info. No improvement.
Saturday morning I shut down everything on our entire network - FiOS "modem"/router, Netgear gigabit switch, AirPort Snow, AirPort Extreme, MacPro, MacMini, both MacBookPros... even the FiOS cable box. Still no improvement.
IPv6 is disabled on the Lion server. All the Macs have all curent updates applied.
I've spent most of today Googling for solutions and trying them out. None have worked - though I see several very recent reports in these Apple Communities about Screen Sharing suddenly not working.
I really do not want to have to move to a new account on my MBP - and what's to say it won't happen again? Anyone have other suggestions?

sunnovagun!
Hitting the Log Out button in the MobileMe panel worked. I can now connect to both the SnowLeopard and Lion servers just like I used to.
My condition appears to have been slightly different from yours, gmia - the MobileMe on my MBP had the correct info, but hose are not the credentials i use to remote to the two servers. I'm guessing that for some reason ScreenSharing began using my MobileMe credentials instead of what I had saved in the keychains.
Wonder if it had anything to do with the shutdown of the MM servers. That would be odd as using ones apple ID to log into a Mac remotely was new with Lion, and I had the same problem with our SnowLeopard server - which I remote into much more frequently.
Probably didn't hurt though to reboot the entire network...
