Photo booth face time and skype problems

Hello i have recently updated to mountion lion 10.8.5 but the problem is everything works except my photobooth .facetime... and other video/ camera options ...
tried resetting the smc...taking the battery out ..etc and i also know it isnt a hardware problem because it was working just fine before the update..Is anyone else having this same problem?

if you've done an SMC reset and the issue still persists in all the applications that use the internal camera there may be a hardware issue.
you need to see if the internal camera is listed in the system profile:
click on black apple, about this mac, more info, system report and under the hardware section. click on USB look to the left and make sure the HD facetime camera is showing up there if it's not the mac needs serviced so take to apple store or service provider to have it looked at for repair.

Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
It is the 5 second timing that initiates the reset.
It may have a positive effect.

I have just installed Lion OS and Face Time encounters server problems on sign up. I have sought the firewall problem without success and even temporarily turned off firewall with no success.

Some folks have discovered that changing their DNS service fixes FaceTime connection issues.
The ideal way is to configure your modem/router with DNS service, but often settings in System Preferences/Network/Advanced/DNS on your Mac will override the router settings. Try either of these;
OpenDNS
208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220
Google Public DNS
8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4

HT1766 I loaded the software fix for face time and it wiped out my contacts and photos. can I restore them?

I loaded the software fix for face time and in loading the new software I lost all of my other content (WITHOUT ANY WARNING). This included my contacts, photos, music. The music I can restore and losing the contacts is an inconvenience, but losing the photos is devastating.
Any ideas?

What software fix for FaceTime? What software did you apply?
Did you backup your iPhone before you updated it with whatever update you applied as described in HT1766? If so, did you backup to iCloud or iTunes? Either way your data should be restorable from that backup.

I just downloaded face time and I can hear the othe person just fine but they cannot hear me. But when I play music they can hear music. what is the problem and gow do i fix it?

Test your microphone in the Sound preference pane.

Using Face time or Skype in assisted living

Hi,
I have a friend in assisted living who has both memory and vision problems (difficulty in reading,
though she can see OK to do Skype calls). She also has a very hard time learning new procedures.
I would like to set up an iPad for her so that she could make and receive Face Time and /or Skype
calls. I know that you can use Siri to make a facetime call, providing she can learn to press and hold
the home button and speak the command. This is simple enough that I think she could learn it. I know
you can open Skype with Siri, but then you have to tap on a contact and perhaps do other things to make
a call, and I'm not as sure she could learn this.
My idea is to get a charging stand (iportproducts.com) and set the iPad up on her table, and leave it on
all the time (not let it sleep even) so that someone could call her that way and she would be able to answer
(though that might take a tap on an icon also)
Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?
Dave

I wouldn't leave the device on constantly, as over time that could take a toll on the display or other components. I would use FaceTime. If you leave the device in sleep, it will turn on and make a noise when a call comes in. All she would need to do is slide the Slide to Answer button. FaceTime is best because she'll be able to use Siri to initiate calls.

I have the wrong apple ID on my iPhone 4 for face time and iCloud. I have the right apple id for iTunes store. How can I can face time and iCloud apple id?

I have the wrong apple ID on my iPhone 4 for face time and iCloud. It has my husband's ID because he synced it to his one time. I do my apple id for iTunes store. How can I can face time and iCloud apple id?

iCloud:
Settings > iCloud > Delete Account then lock in with your Apple ID.
FaceTime:
Switch Settings > FaceTime > FaceTime OFF and switch back on with your Apple ID.

When I first got my I Phone 4 I was asked if I wanted Face Time and I said no. Now I would like to have it. How do I do that. It is not currently available on my phone.

When I first got my I Phone 4 I was asked if I wanted face time and I said no. Now I want it and would like to know how to do it. Friends who have it say it should already be on my phone.

FaceTime is part of the OS. I don't understand why you would be asked that question. The only phones that do NOT have facetime are those intended for some countries in the Middle East where it is illegal. Facetime has been removed from those phones and can not be added back.
Where did you get the phone?

TS4268 I need help getting my face time and imessage to work.

I need help getting my face time and imessage to work. It is saying wating for activation. I just got my iphone 5 2 days ago. I have reset it from the phone and from itunes on the computer, made sure I'm attached to wifi.

The 3 basic troubleshooting steps are these in order: 1. Restart your iphone 2. Reset your settings/iphone 3. Restore your iphone. Since your iphone is only a couple of days old, you should backup your device before restoring. If you don't have anything on your iphone that you care to lose, then simply restoring without a backup is fine. A quick reset of pressing the sleep/wake button (top of iphone) and your home button simultaneously and holding it until the silver Apple logo appears.

TS4268 Please help, I can't find face time and Siri icon on my mini ipad? Just bought it I have the IMessage icon and is able to use it.

There is no Siri "icon". You access Siri using the Home button. But you may need to turn it on: Settings App > General > Siri. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4992
Same for the FaceTime function (but if it is ON, there will be an icon): Settings App > FaceTime > [turn it on and set you Apple ID. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4319

Existing Apple ID is not longer working with Face Time and Message on the iPhone after iOS 6

After the IOS 6 update on my iPhone the Apple ID is not longer working with Face Time and Message. Each time I try to log in I receive the message that the password or the user is not right. But they are, because on all other devices and all other parts of the iPhone (iCloud, AppStore, iTunes) they are working. Other Apple IDs are working fine.
What's wrong? Any idea?
Thanks

Blue
It sounds like you restored from an old back-up. Did you back-up just before your software update? It will use your last one and if your last back-up was a ywear old then it will use that one.
In general, if you are getting these messages on your iPhones select logout (when you get that Apple Id request) and then log back in with your newer ID.
Sorry for your losses.
Cheers
