I cannot use facetime on my iMac

Everytime that I try to use FaceTime, it tells me the person that I'm trying to call is not available. My Daughter can call me but I cannot call her. I'm trying to call her using her e-mail address, the same way that she contacted me. I'm totalally at a loss, as to why this is happening
Thank you for your anticipated help with this matter.

Hello BassoonPlayer,
Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using. FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in. This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly. By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you. Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

Cannot use FaceTime on my Macbook Air but can connect using my iPhone - any help appreciated.

Any error message?

I cannot use facetime anymore on one of my iphones (IOS7)

I upgraded my 2 Iphones with IOS7. Since then, I cannot use facetime anymore with one of the iphones. My other iphone as well as my ipad did not have any issue with the upgrade. I really need face time for both phones.

You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPhone forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

My husband has a macbook pro (2011) and I have an iMac (intel core 2 duo) one apple id and cannot use facetime between us. I also have an iPhone 4

My husband has a macbook pro (2011) and I have an iMac (intel core 2 duo) and an iPhone 4 and iPad 2 but we share one apple id and are unable to use facetime with each other....help

You will have to make a second Apple ID.

I want to use facetime but my iMac says I have to use a different email addys!

I want to use facetime on multiple machines but my iMac says I have to use a different email addys! Needing multiple email addresses for using Facetime on multiple Apple devices seems really ridiculous to me. What is the way around that?

you won't get that feature until apple releases the new IOS 6 http://www.apple.com/ios/ios6/#facetime for normal users.
Are your friends developers who are trying out the beta IOS 6?

Why I cannot use FaceTime audio?

I bought my iPhone 5 in China, where the FaceTime audio is banned. But now I stay in the United States, I still cannot use this great function. I don't understand why? Is there anyone who fixes this problem? Could you please do me a favor? Thank you.

I had this problem too, and found out that the issue was with my router. Apple posted an article regarding this issue. I have tried many other routers and they all just work, but the 1st one I tried gave me much grief connecting. The apple support article can be found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4245

Since uploading OS 5, cannot use Facetime on my iPad due to "address already in use." Any ideas

I uploaded iOS5 and now cannot use my Facetime on my iPad. It says, Unable to verify email because it is already in use. Any ideas of what I should try to do next?

I bought ipad in dubai. problem is i cannot use facetime. in that case how can i solve it?

i wanna use facetime, what should i do for installing facetime on my i pad 2?

You can't install it. iPads bought in Dubai have Facetime blocked by the device's serial number, so you won't be able to install it via iOS updates either. It is a requirement of the Dubai government that Facetime is not available on iPads bought in their country

Cannot activate facetime on my iMac 27"

Hi there !
When I´m starting the facetime software there is a note that I must activate it. I do it and then
I sign in with my existing apple id and in the next window of this dialog I have to decide which
phone-number or mail-adress I want to use.
I decide to use a mail adress (its a confirmed adress from my apple id) and the software "proof" this
but runs out of time; since 15 minutes without any effect.
I try this several times since 2 days without success.
Any help for me ?
Thanks in advance !
I´m using an 27" iMac 2,7 GHz Intel Core 5 with OS X 10.9.5 and facetime 3.0 (1651)
It´s really annoying because I have to get in touch with a very important person to me.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.
