I'm trying to use FaceTime from my IMac OS Version 10.8.5 but when I try to log in, the system tries to verify and gives me a number to call Apple to complete registration. Is there anything I can do?

There is no official public documentation of that alert as far as I know.
If you're trying to sign in to FaceTime, try to sign in to iMessage in the Messages application, or vice versa.
Otherwise, do as the alert directs. According to reports, you won't be charged for the support call if you select "Apple ID"—not the hardware model—as the product you're asking about, and cite the "customer code" in the alert as the "validation code" when you speak to the Apple representative.

Hi bubbles213,
The best way to move information from one iOS device to another is to back up the device using iCloud or iTunes (or both), and then restoring the new device from it. This article will walk you through the steps:

I'm trying to use iphoto but when I put my cursor over a photo it has a small flag in the upper left hand corner and a downward arrow in the lower right corner. I've used it lots but it just started doing this. My events pull up just not a single photo.

Try rebuilding your iPhoto Library. Here's a link:

Millietrixie-
Are you trying to call yourself to test FaceTime? If so, you must have a second E-Mail address registered with your Apple ID. In other words, there must be a different E-Mail address on each unit.

It's almost certainly too late.
The time to create a backup is before a catastrophe. After a catastrophe, it's too late.

If you can't get the exported .csv file to work you might consider using Migration Assistant: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2518, particular if you need to move more than just your contacts. There is some granularity in the options on what to transfer but I'm not sure if you can choose to just your migrate contacts.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

How can I access the iTunes store? When I click on iTunes, my library appears but when I try to connect to the store I get a window saying Error -3221 has occured and cannot connect to the store.

When you say "her email address" do you mean that you set up a separate Apple ID for her using her email address as her Apple ID? If so, was it ever verified by Apple? Did she get the email verification?
You might look here for some help.

Some free advice. If your son is 8 years old, put him on your account, and set parental controls so that he cannot accidentally run up giant charges within the games.
If your son is 25 years old, get him his own AppleID and make him responsible for his own bills.
In between ... use your judgement.

I've turned my iPad off, then on again, I've logged out of iTunes, and logged back in, I've updated my credit card information, but nothing seems to be working. Is this a problem within the app?

TS3988 I can log into my iCloud account on my iphone but when I try to log in on my pc I keep getting a connection error message. Any ideas?

I can log into my iCloud account on my iphone but when I try to log in on my pc I keep getting a connection error message. Any ideas?

Same problem. I can see the itunes store so not a problem with windows firewall. The account is active on my iphone so i know i am not locked out. I can connect the PC to my iphone so i know itunes is working ok. It is just logging into itunes on this pc which doesn't work. Only thing I can think of is that the email address I use for my apple id has been offline for a while and is working again now, I'm wondering whether this has been the case for others who are having this issue?

I'm trying to use FaceTime but when I try to log in, the system tries to verify and gives me a number to call Apple to complete registration. Is there anything I can do?
