"not available for FaceTime" error after upgrading to Mountain Lion

I have an iPhone, iPad, MacBook and Mac Mini and have had no problems receiving FaceTime calls on any of these devices until I upgraded to Mountain Lion. Now everytime someone tries to call me on FaceTime they get an error that I'm not available. I can call them just fine.
Using my wife's iPhone I tried to debug the issue and found that after I toggle FaceTime off then back on using the Mac mini that I could receive a faceTime call. However, after a few days I am no longer able to receive a call.
Has anyone else had this issue and know of a fix?
Thanks!
David

Thanks, but this didn't work for me. I did a fresh install, so there was no subfolder in my Barnes and Noble folder.
I tried the second suggestion from NA Smith too, but that didn't work either.
I had this problem last year on my imac, and I gave up on Barnes and Noble. But I had one book I wanted to access (a diet book), and tried again on my new Macbook Pro.... same frustrating thing, even after all this time - shame on B&N!!!
So, I bought the one book again, this time at Amazon. I feel sorry for anyone who has bought many ebooks from B&N - they are definitely not even trying to be serious about their software - I assume the have a couple high-school kids working part time (?).

TS1277 "iPhoto was unable to connect to Photo Stream" error after upgrading to mountain lion

Has anyone gotten this error after upgrading to mountain lion on a computer that already had a user setup on it?
My iphoto was working with photostream and now it will not connect at all.
I ran fix disk permissions and once it showed up in iphoto, photostream was loading and then it disappeared again.
help!

FWIW I fixed mine when I realised I'd probably downloaded iPhoto using an AppleID from the App Store but logged into iCloud with a different AppleID. I deleted iPhoto and it's related files (but not the iPhoto Library) using CleanApp, entered the App Store with my usual AppleID and downloaded iPhoto again. Once the App Store, the downloaded iPhoto and iCloud logins were the same iPhoto Stream worked again.

Ipad/Mac not working with Bose Soundlink after upgrade to Mountain Lion

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, I can not play through my Bose Soundlink from my Mac and iPad? It finds the device via Bluetooth, connects, but will not play.Anyone else?

Try to reset the Soundlink. To do this just press the "mute" button for 10 seconds... when all indicators lights appears release the button and you are set.
Just try to connecto again.
Hope it works for you as it worked for me.
Best,

Lost SD card files for Final Cut after upgrading to Mountain lion

I use a 2010 Mac Pro with a My Book external. I copy all of my SD card recordings onto the external HD until I am ready to use them in Final Cut. Then I log and transfer straight from the external. I just upgraded to Mountain Lion and now I can no longer log and transfer those files that i previously added. I just now copied a new recording onto the External and it is doing the same thing. When i open the folder of the recording, all that is there is the AVCHD file. I can log and transfer straight from the card, but not from the copied files.
Why would this happen and how can I fix it? I need it right now and cannot do anything.
please help and thank you!
Melody

It was Snow Leopard. I didn't know you can make a clone, I've never had to do that in the past, have never encountered anything like this before, so I didn't even know that was an option. Guess I screwed that up.
I use Final Cut Pro 7 and a 6TB firewire external, the computer itself has 2 internals that are 1TB each. I do all of my work off of the external, I thought that it was the problem because what i need to use is already on the external. So I took a SD card that I haven't copied onto the external, plugged it straight into the computer and tried it from there, it's the same no matter where I go with it. FCP will take it in log and transfer only off of the card itself, but if you just double click on the card "no name", all it shows is a QT, nothing else. I have read all day about this exact problem others are having but cannot find a solution. I even saw a youtube that a fellow made about how he was on the phone with apple all day long and still got nowhere. I sure wish I knew this beforehand because I never would have bothered to upgrade. Everything I read was about how Mountain Lion has caused it and sure enough, it all matches what I have dealt with all day. The only thing I know to do is to wipe it off and start over with SL. I hate to do that but I really need those files and cannot use them at all now.
The reason I have a firewire external is because I was told by someone at a TV station that knows Final Cut to make sure that's what i used.
thank you for helping.

Not recognizing external hard drive after upgrading to mountain lion

I recently upgraded to mountain lion. While my external hard drive originally showed on the desktop it does not anymore, The hard drive is partitioned between my wife (laptop) and my desktop. My wife's part does show on the desktop but mine does not. From reading some of the issues on the Support Community I did a disk repair as it does show up under disk utility. Although the disk repair was performed successfully, it still does not appear. I read some other comments about Fuse but I don't understand what this is about. Any suggestions to get my external hard drive back so I can keep my computer backed up. Thanks.

It is powered (the light is on). I was uploading photos from the drive yesterday, so it worked perfectly fine before the upgrade to 10.6.8 (which I did during the night). Is there anything else to try before I move it to another computer to see if it works? Again, thanks.

Fatal error after upgrade to Mountain Lion

Got a fatale Error after the restart on a MiniMac 2009. Even after many Power Shotdown, still Fatal Error. Now i have to install 10.7 again. It makes me mad.

you just need to repair your disks and permissions and possibly reinstall Lion after redowndloading it from the MAS.
Open disk utility from your recovery partition (cmd+R) while booting. and then try again.

The Airplay Icon is not showing up on My Taskbar After Upgrading to Mountain Lion

Please help. I have 2nd generation Apple TV and a 2011 Imac but the Airplay Icon will not show up on Taskbar after upgrading to Mountain Lion.

Finally after trying to uninstall/reinstall (no luck!)
I'm on Windows 7 64 bit. iTunes 10.7 And I have a solution:
If found a thread about IPv6.
I followed the same directions on Windows 7 64 bit and it worked.
Disable IPv6 on _all_ of your IP ethernet adapters.
That includes Virtual Machines (VMWare... yes those too), including IPv6 for wireless.
Close iTunes. Start iTunes. Works. Airplay Icon is back.
It looks like All of the AirPlay devices may have to be re-setup. At the very least rebooted.
I found that I had to clompletely erase my DHCP addresses from my (non Apple) router.. and that fixed it. Finally.
Even though this is for the Mac... I believe they are onto something. Original thread link:

Not available for FaceTime audio-why?

If I try to make a FaceTime audio called to a friend I get a not available for FaceTime audio error message.
If he tries to call me he gets the same message.
We both can make ordinary video FaceTime calls to each other though.
We are both using the iPhone 5 with iOS 7.02.
Any idea what the problem might be?
Also, does anyone know a Siri command for initiating a FaceTime audio call? Saying "FaceTime Doug" will initiate an ordinary FaceTime call. But what about an audio FaceTime call? My friend is blind, so if there is a Siri command I would like to tell him.
Thanks,
Doug

I had the same problem, after seeing the comment about 7.0.4, I went to Setting to check my version, it was 7.0.4.
Then I tried again using Facetime Audio and it worked fine this time !!!
Probably it needed reminding that it is already upgraded

after upgrading to mountain lion i keep getting an error message saying my startup disc is full. it shouldnt be full because there is barely anything on there and i was running windows with bootcamp prior to this with no issues. my computer now freezes and programs close randomly. The usual command for opening windows with bootcamp doesnt work. once in restarted my computer after it froze and it rebooted in windows automatically. i really just want to know if there is a way to take the upgrade off my laptop because it is very annoying.

Hi Memalyn
Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.

On 2011 iMac, External Altec Lansing speakers no longer work after upgrading to Mountain Lion. They DO work on a lenovo machine but not my imac

On 2011 iMac, External Altec Lansing speakers no longer work after upgrading to Mountain Lion.
They DO work on a lenovo machine but not my iMac. reset Pram - no luck. took speakers from wife's desktop, they
do not work when jack plugged into my iMac - Sys Prefs "SOUND" only lists "internal speakers/ built in" as available options.
I used my altec lansing speakers on 3 macs including this one for 5-6 years.....now with Mountian Lion I can only get internal speakers???
Ideas? Any/All help would be greatly appreciated - been going nuts with this for 2 days now.

Hi,
When you start Messages fro the first time you are asked for an Apple ID
When this is verified and entered it appears in Messages Menu > Preference > Accounts and is Enabled.
The App should have also picked on on those iChat Accounst you had before.
These should be Enabled if they were when you last used iChat.
Exactly which "Accounts" are logged in can be seen in Message Menu > Accounts and will include the iMessage "Account" and Bonjour.
In the Window menu you will see CMD +0 for the Messages window and CMD+1 for the "Buddies" window which is a combined list at this stage.
Go to the Preferences > General Section and Untick the "Collect all accounts into one list".
This will give you separate iChat type Buddy lists.
You can check if that account/Buddy list is set to Invisible or if in the Preferences > Accounts > Security you have settings that will block some people from seeing you as On line.
You are saying Buddies can see you as On Line which implies they are still sending to your AIM based Names (@Mac.com is a valid AIM Screen Name)
I am not sure from your post if you are trying to iMessage their email IDs thinking they are Apple IDs and that they are using Messages as well.
There is no Buddy list for iMessages side
No-one can tell you are "On Line" until they have your details in the "To" spot in Messages with the correct iMessaged contact info (iPhone Number or Apple ID)
Obviously an Apple ID can be an email or look like one.
In some cases they are also valid AIM Screen Names as well.
In the case or the @mac.com name you may have linked this Apple ID to iMessages as well.

IMessage and FaceTime won't accept my Apple ID after upgrading to Mountain Lion

iMessage and FaceTime won't accept my Apple ID in order to activate after upgrading to Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro.
My Apple ID works to sign in to the App store as well as on my iphone and iPad.
What do I need to do?

This Apple doc might help ya out -> iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation
Troubleshooting Apple ID activation
After each step, toggle iMessage and FaceTime off and then on again in Settings > Messages and Settings > FaceTime.
Update to the latest version of iOS.
Ensure that you have an active Internet connection. Check your Wi-Fi network using standard Wi-Fi network troubleshooting.
If you receive an error when signing in to your Apple ID, visit myinfo.apple.com, sign in to your account, and ensure that the primary email address has been verified.
Ensure that FaceTime has not been restricted: Settings > General > Restrictions > FaceTime.
In Settings > General > Date & Time, ensure that Set Automatically is on. If Set Automatically is on, but the incorrect time zone is displayed, turn Set Automatically off and then choose the correct time zone, date, and time. Then turn Set Automatically on again.
Enable iMessage and FaceTime while connected to another Wi-Fi network in a different location.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion from Lion, Mail, Safari and note need about five minutes to start.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion from Lion, Mail, Safari and Note need about five minutes to start.
After starting, Mail answers are very very slow. The same for Note. Instead of, sending mails is only a bit slower than before upgrading.
In Safari, I choose Goggle as starting page in Preferences, but at every restart misses that starting page and the search strip says "Seek Google or instert an address".

Well, I found the solution here in another thread.
i just want to mention that the samw thing was happening also for the notes and the reminders apps!! (they quit unexpectedly!!).
So I found the solution here.
Thank you graphicsluc!!!
