IMac Facetime won't receive calls after upgrade to Mavericks

Hi all,
I am experiencing a strange issue with Facetime on my 2012 iMac running Mavericks.
Here's the deal:
Upgraded my iMac and MacBook Air to Mavericks
I am able to PLACE calls from all machines (so my account seems to be working fine)
When being called my iMac won't respond...no message, no sound, no nothing...plays dead man
My MacBook Air behaves normally (also Mavericks)
I have tried all of the following:
disabled and re-enabled Facetime (to maybe override some config issue inherited from before the upgrade)
tried to receive calls with and without Facetime running
rebooted...several times
all the latest updates are installed
I have not (knowingly) changed anything after the upgrade. "Don't disturb" is off and Facetime calls are allowed for everyone.
Any ideas?
Best regards,
Beschi

Hi all, Problem not solved yet.
Maybe you can give your 2 cents to my working hypothesis:
Could it be that some background process/service is used to continuously monitor incoming requests/calls? Could it be that this process fires up Facetime and forwards incoming calls (Facetime calls are received without Facetime running, right? So something must capture them...)? Could it be that in my case this process is either not running or configured incorrectly (account, password)?
Maybe you can put me on the right track?!
Best regards,
Frustrated Beschi

13" MBP Mid 2010 won't wake up after upgrade to Mavericks from Lion

Hi
I read numerous threads regarding this problem from Mac Minis to Mac Pros and also MBA and MBP. After upgrade from Lion to Mavericks, my MBP cannot wake up. I have to hold the power button down to force it to turn off then power it back up from hibernation. SMC reset, Mavericks reinstalled, Repaired Disk Permission, ram refresh, all done and did not help.
It helps whenever the computer goes to sleep, whether forcefully by choosing Sleep from the Apple Menu or by closing the lid.
Anyone please help, if not, APPLE PLEASE FIX THIS BUG.
Thanks
J

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot 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, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

My iphone 6 stopped receiving calls after upgrading to ios 8.2

I have a new iPhone 6, 64 GB. I tried upgrading it 2 days ago to iOS 8.2.
The first time it froze for a long time and when it started, everything seemed
to be ok until I opened my messages, the screen froze then my messages opened a
blank page, then went opened a new message window, and I couldn't do anything
after, except close the messages. then I found out that my phone does not ring
when someone is trying to call me, so I tried calling my phone from a land line
and it shows it is ringing, but my iPhone 6 is not and does not show any
activity. it like its ringing somewhere else. I tried restoring it, and again
it did the same thing, the minute I open my messages. its like it triggers a
malfunction that crashes the hand set.
Has anyone experienced this, and is there a solution other than waiting for
the next update that will hopefully fix this problem?

Hello RayGas,
It may help to force close all apps and reset your iPhone.
Force an app to close in iOS
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT5137
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1430
If you're still not seeing any indication of incoming calls and Messages isnot functioning as expected, the next step would be to reinstall iOS on your device by placing it in Recovery Mode, then choosing Update in iTunes.
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.
When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on

Both iMac iSights Won't Start Up After Upgrading To 10.4.6

I just bought 2 iMac iSight's clearance from Mac Mall - with Applecare, but I can't use it until Mac Mall resets the serial numbers with Apple, who currently thinks they were bought in January, so no chat help. Ack! Downside to buying open stock clearance! Anyway, when setting them up, I let them upgrade to 10.4.6. They did the first reboot, then totally froze on the second. Both of them, exactly the same. And I don't have the right Torx driver to do the internal reset. What happened to the flat head screws on earlier iMacs? I tried the power cord in and out with the power button depressed trick. Nada. Help, I have new employees coming in tomorrow expecting computers to sit at. TIA,
Fred

<<If you look at MacInTouch, you will find reams of complaints about MacMall. You have to be very firm with them, and threaten all kinds of dire things.>>
I'm sure they're all criminals, but I have one salesperson who cuts me some deals, so sucker that I am I go back. I once had a G4 problem with a defective RAM slot - inserting the stick bent the contacts both sides across the middle, and I was going to be stuck for a new m-board on a machine that had only booted once, and they weren't very nice to me about it, until by chance they noticed the same thing in other machines of similar serial number. With their testimony, Apple gave me a "one time only" repair on it - how very generous of them.
Back to current problem, and thanks all for the help - power cable manipulation has gotten one of the two to boot up normally, thank god, and the other is being slightly more responsive (rapid manipulation of power button makes front panel LED and mouse LED light up momentarily), but hasn't booted yet.

Finder window in apps won't show files after upgrading to Mavericks

Has anyone encountered a situation where you are working within an application and do a File->Open kind of dialog and when you select a directory the spinner just spins forever and nothing is shown in that directory (when you KNOW there's something there)?
I am having this problem randomly. For instance, I opened Sublime Text 2, went to File->Open, navigated to a directory and nothing showed up. The spinner went round and round as if it was waiting on something. I closed the dialog, tried again, and it worked fine. It's happening regularly, but I can't seem to reproduce it.
Any others experiencing this?

Tonight, Finder just plain wouldn't open any folder after popping up on Apple Mai
Ok, this isn't an issue that some NON-Apple program isn't calling Finder correctly. This was Apple MAIL for God's sake. I went to attach a document, and then FINDER just wouldn't open any sub folder. Not ONE. The little "circle of wait" was spinning, and I let it for 10 minutes! Nothing ever came up.
THANK GOD for Path Finder, a Finder substitute that runs rings around the native functionality. I was able to easily open it, and drag files to Apple Mail and send the files.
What this tells me is, again, NOBODY at Apple is doing beta testing. I am honestly about to just put my Mac up for sale and go back to Windows ( I NEVER thought I'd say that!)

My IMac 21.5 mid 2010's HD is going bad on it, after upgrading to mavericks it slowed way down and after it shut off and now won't come back on, would Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2TB Serial ATA Hard Drive - 7200RPM, 64MB, SATA 6Gb/s worked?

My IMac 21.5 mid 2010's HD is going bad on it, after upgrading to mavericks it slowed way down and after it shut off and now won't come back on, I call apple support and they told me to bring it in but the nearest store is about two hours away. They said I need it to erase my hard drive but I have too many family pics on it.
would Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2TB Serial ATA Hard Drive - 7200RPM, 64MB, SATA 6Gb/s worked on it? I could replace the internal and get an enclosure for the original until I get the pics out of it?
Please advise, it's like five years of family pics I don't wanna loose them and I am worried.
Thanks
Al Florez

A Brody,
I really apprecate your very quick respond, Its too late to back up as of now, my hard drive wont load at all so I cannot follow your instruction to back it up. Learn a hard lesson but I will from now on following your link.
Also my hard drive it is not available to do the free exchange program.
I read the OWC instruction on how to replace the drive I was just wondering if the 2TB would work on it instead of the 1 TB they offer, I specifically asked for the Seage Barracuda because I had great experiences with it on PCs.
Again, Thank you

TS3367 facetime doesn't work well after upgrading to ios8. I need to make a call several times to connect.

Facetime doesn't work well after upgrading to ios8.
When I make a facetime call, it doesn't sound some times on the other side.
When it rings on the other side and is answered, it says (connecting), but it is still ringing on my side and never connected.
After that, I disconnect and make a second call, it sometimes connects, but not everytime.
I need to call several times to connect. It is really hard to connect through facetime after upgrading to ios8.
I purchased three iPad so far because of this good feature (facetime).
Please fix this issue as soon as possible.
Thanks.

Hi,
There are two easy fixes to this.
One, you can set up Family Sharing, in which you can have two different iCloud Accounts, yet still share the same apps, music, media etc.
Two, go to Settings and turn-off "Handoff". This can be found under the General page.
Hope this helps!

Problems receiving mail from exchange after upgrading to Mavericks

After upgrading to Mavericks I am having issues receiving e-mail. Activity doctor says I am connected to Exchange server but Mail.app won't donwload e-mail. I have heard this is an issue on OS X Mavericks. Any idea on how to solve this?

I solved the problem by disabling all Internet Accounts in the System Preference and re-enabling them one by one. I found that a few settings crashed the Mail app., mainly for those Microsoft Exchange accounts. I deleted them and set them up again then it works fine now. No more crash when I open the Mail app. Hope this procedure helps those with similar problems, too.

SPA942 fails to receive calls after xfer

Hi There, I have a problem at one customer site with the SPA942 phones. After an incoming call is transfered to another extension, the phone then fails to receive calls - even after the transferred call has ended. And in some cases the phone that received the transferred call also fails to receive future calls after the call has ended. In both cases the phones will once again receive calls after the SIP registration has timed out and the phones automatically re-register.
As a temporary fix to keep the customer happy I have had to lower the SIP registration period to 30s which is not ideal but drastically reduces the issue from occuring.
Both phones have been upgraded to the latest firmware (6.1.5a) which has not fixed the problem.
Besides this problem everything else works.
Any suggestions on how to fix this or troubleshoot for more info would be really appreceiated
Thanks
Aaron

Do you have SPA900? If not, this is your VOIP provider's concern. If ever you have SPA9000 please try this:
Force Media Proxy: set it to YES
then
SEND RESPONSE to SRC port.
Hope this resolves your issue.

After upgrade to mavericks: time machine keeps asking for my back up disk and won't open unless i plug in the disk. any solutions?

after upgrade to mavericks: time machine keeps asking for my back up disk and won't open unless i plug in the disk. any solutions?
before the upgrade, i could open time machine without the need for having the back up disk plugged in.

Ok. I got it to work, sort of....
As I mentioned before I tried the "disk password" and the "Time capsule Password" options to see if I can start the back up again or start a new backup. Neither worked. So I tried the firmware down grade, but like you said that did not work. I then decided to try the "Account password" option and I have never used this option before becasue it states that if there is data on the drive it would not be acessable after creating an account. Since I wiped out the disk that was nno problem. When I created the new account and choose the drive it asked for the user name and password. I entered the info for the new account I just created(FYI this has nothing to do with your login username and password), bingo! It worked!
Now I have two partitions on the TC disk. The old one and now the new account. I am guessing this is to be used if I have multiple computers, which I don't.
I any case, I am going to wipe out everything again and try again to do a backup the way I had it before.

Why does the airplay icon not appear after upgrading to Mavericks on my iMac.

I am using an Apple TV, iPad 2, and an iMac with wifi sharing enabled. Before upgrading to mavericks I was easily able to use airplay to mirror the display of my ipad2 to a projector. After the upgrade the airplay icon will dispear. When I restart the wifi sharing on my imac then the airplay icon will reappear on my ipad.
Does anyone have a fix for this. I use this in my classroom and this problem made yesterdays lesson almost undoable because students were givng presentations and each time a student wanted to project thier ipad screen I had to reset my wifi.

After upgrading to Mavericks my iMac does not see Sony camcorder in iMovie anymore. It still works on MacBook, so nothing wrong with camera or connections.

After upgrading to Mavericks my iMac does not see my Sony camcorder anymore. I tried the new iMovie as well as the old version 9.0.9, which is still in Applications. I checked the camcorder and connections in iMovie on my MacBook (not upgraded) and that still functions properly, so the problem does not seem to be in iMovie, old or new, or in camcorder and connection.
Anybody with the same problem or a solution?
Thanks mbkom

Try this

After upgrading to Mavericks, all of my contacts disappeared. Did a "contacts archive" export and the file is 17mbs. Looks like there's data, but none of it at all displays. What gives? 20" iMac, early '09
