(Probably) SOLVED: Facetime on Lion

Hello, friends.
In order to run FaceTime on Lion, solving the server registration issue, you must create a new password key in Keychain, with the following parameters:
Name: com.apple.facetime: registrationV1
Account: registrationV1
Where: com.apple.facetime
Then, restart your Mac.
Best regards!

When adding a new password item, you must supply a password.
Are you giving it your factime account password?
Then *after* it's been saved, it seems like you would have to go back into the item and edit the "where" to be correct?
In looking at my other mac (that works) I do see two entries:
com.apple.facetime: registration
com.apple.facetime: registrationV1
Neither of them seem to have passwords explictly set. Yet I don't see a way to do that :/

How to install FaceTime in Lion

I deleted facetime in Lion and now I can't install it again from the app store! what can I do?

I backup all my app I purchased to a zip into my dropbox, afraid that I might lost them as I did with my Itune app purchase in the past.
I did the following:
1. Delete all trace of facetime using appcleaner just to find out that ichat is hook up with some of the facetime.plist. So I did a "secure empty trash" that took a while to remove everything from the trash.
then redownload the facetime app only to find out my Mac OS X is to new.
2. I pull the back up Facetime App out of the dropbox 1.0.2 and put in the application folder only to find it wont find the camera and wont update because the version of Mac OS X is too new.
3. I try updating the key as said in some forum. adding the V1 in facetime registration and account. and try downloading it from app store it still doesn't work.
4. I will try changing the host file which some people was talking about but I dont know where to find it.
Now i feel like it a bit early to download Lion since they haven't update all their app for it, I shouldn't be frustrated.

How do you acquire Facetime on Lion

I have a Pro and an Air and I installed Lion on each but FACETIME was not installed on either machine.
How do I acquire FACETIME on Lion after the fact?
I did find a non OEM site that had it but after the download it tells me I don't have a camera, which I do.. the standard isight and it works in Skype.
I'd also like to know why Lion did not install Facetime for me on either machine.
Anyone have any info..?

It most certainly is true. It will not download for Lion.
There's no problem accessing the App store you just can't download Facetime. It's for Snow Leopard.
Like I said I get an error telling me my system is too new "Lion" and the download can not be completed.
I talked with Apple Support and they tell me no it won't download for Lion.
Actually to be more specific I copied the EXACT message I get...
"FaceTime can’t be installed on OSX Lion because the version of Mac OS X is too new."

How come Apple has disabled Facetime on Lion?

Every time I goto sign into Facetime it repeatedly say's The server encountered an error processing registration. Iether that means they have shut it off for Lion or they have been having some issue for the past 3 months.

Because that's how Apple decided to do it. You simply open Finder preferences, click on the General icon in the toolbar then check the boxes for what you want displayed. Use the Sidebar icon to configure what's displayed in the sidebar.
Problem solved.
Strange decision by Apple!

Possibly re-install FaceTime on Lion?

Hello
I have been using Facetime since it cam built-in my MacBook the time I bought it. Lately, I have experienced problems with it; so I decided to re-install it. I used AppZapper to remove it. And now I realized I did a mistake! Because the AppStore version will not work for me since it is meant to be used by Snow Leopard users. I searched the web for a Lion version but I could not find it! What shall I do? and I'm not willing to re-install the whole system for the sake of a single application. Can you please help? Possibly give me a link to a Lion version of FaceTime? Or maybe upload your own?
Thank you,
Faisal

There is no app. Settings>Phone>FaceTime>On.

FaceTime on Lion green screen

Hi, recently installed Lion operating system with facetime. Facetime works for about 30 seconds between my MacBook Pro and my wifes iphone. Then the screen freezes and start flashing in green eventually after about another 30 secs facetime screen goes completely green. I can still be seen on the the iphone and i can still talk just no picture on the MacBook. any suggestions?
Cheers Gareth

My facetime screen started doing the same thing about 5 months ago when I upgraded to Lion. I makes the facetime connection... the screen begins to flicker green... and then goes completely green within a minute. Audio is totally fine. The green screen only occurs on my screen not the person I am facetiming. It happens on my 2008 macbook pro and 2011 macbook air.
Hey Gareth, if you recently purchased and installed lion you can call apple support within 90 days, I think. It is free. If someone finds a solution to this annoying problem, it would be greatly appreciated!

FaceTime on Lion

Just installed Lion on my iMac and FaceTime isn't working. It says 'Failed Connection' when I dial one of my contacts, but wifi is on an everything else is working. How can this be fixed?

Do you meet all the requirements?

NO FACETIME WITH LION??!!

I UPGRADE TO LION BUT THE FACETIME WONT WORK !!?? ANYBODY CAN HELP ME ??
BEFORE UPGRADING IT WAS WORKING PERFECTLY
BTW
I HAVE IPHONE AND IT WORKS FINE ...:(
PLEASE HELP ME

Hi,
This may be about the ports used to contact a particular server from a particular app.
First check the Mac Firewall
System Preferences > Security > Firewall
If On, check the Advanced Button.
Is Face Time in the List and is Allow Signed apps enabled ?
Is Face Time allowed through your router ?
If you are not using UPnP you will need to open the ports it needs
These ports apply to Face Time for Mac as well as for an iPhone.
(iTunes will sign in on port 80 and port 443 which are below the port 1024 threshold. Ports below this number are open in the router anyway)

[probably SOLVED] xmonad + gnome again

Hi folks!
After running 'plain' xmonad-darcs for a time i'd like to run gnome together with xmonad, so installed gnome today (haven't used it for years). gnome is up and running, but i can't get to get it run with xmonad as it's wm~
Of course i've tried to follow xmonad's wiki... I used other people's xmonad.hs, that basic one or that other one; additionally, xmonad-contrib-darcs v20081207-1 is installed. For completeness, I actually just use
-- xmonad.hs
import XMonad
import XMonad.Config.Gnome
main = xmonad gnomeConfig
It seems, that somehow xmonad can't be imported: a new created ~/.gnomerc makes no change, same with a copied "export WINDOW_MANAGER=xmonad" in ~/.profile (which is sourced by .xinitrc) or even in ~/.xinitrc itself. I added xmonad to the list of starting programs in gnome's session manager as well, I disabled nautilus and changed the position of the panel... Trying to start gnome with this:
export WINDOW_MANAGER=xmonad
exec gnome-session --purge-delay=3000
it says that --purge-delay is an invalid option (so i guess that is meant to work with an older version of gnome).
Then it comes up to gnome-session. But in my gnome there is no possibility to "select Metacity and change style to Trash"!? (Within the "sessions" I only can add starting programs or tell which applications to remember.)
Nevertheless, I can start an xterm and run "killall metacity; xmonad &"; then metacity disappears, windows are indeed tiling, but in the xterm there's the following output:
$ unknown ClientMessageEvent 269
unknown ClientMessageEvent 269
unknown ClientMessageEvent 269
unknown ClientMessageEvent 269
unknown ClientMessageEvent 269
and the system becomes almost unusable. After killing the xterm metactiy reappears.
I wonder how Phrodo_00 solved his problem, seemed to be trivial...
Any ideas?

Ugh!
Because starting x takes always 5-10 minutes I liked to speed it up. I thought it still could be gnome fighting against xmonad, since here xmonad is added as starting program while at the same time you have the "/usr/share/applications/xmonad.desktop" (see above). So I liked to see what happens after deselecting xmoand as starting program in the sessions manager... But from now on gnome wouldn't start at all anymore! Neither
gconftool-2 -s -t string /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager metacity
nor
rm -rf ~/.gnome* ~/.gconf*
helped (I don't have a ~/.gnome2/session)! X just hangs after showing its cursor, and there are heavy cooling but lesser disk activities -- so how to reactivate plain gnome??
But also suddenly another problem seem to arise (but for heavens sake, why~ there weren't any before...):
In the first time I crashed X that error was shown in the console:
(EE) intel(0): underrun on pipe B!
-- But how comes?, I disabled these in /etc/xorg.conf:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
Option "AutoEnableDevices" "False"
EndSection
Now there's another one:
error setting MTRR (base = 0xe8000000, size = 0x08000000, type = 1) Invalid argument (22)
Disgusting~
Nevertheless running plain xmonad works... ((edit: after exchanging the xmonad.hs of course))

Error Message while using Yahoo and Firefox: An unexpected problem has occurred. Performing your action again in a few moments will probably solve the problem. If it persists, we suggest you close this window and re-launch Yahoo! Mail.

For the past several weeks I have received the following persistent annoying message while working with yahoo and Firefox 5

[probably solved] grub sometimes stuck on manual select

Hey everyone,
if I use the keyboard to manually select one of the entries GRUB sometimes gets stuck and just wont start the boot process.
However, sometimes it would work without me having changed anything.
If I let GRUB boot any entry automatically and give no keyboard input it boots fine everytime.
Any idea of what's causing that and how I could fix it?
Thanks!
Edit:
I get
ata1 softreset failed device not ready
ata2 softreset failed device not ready
ata3 softreset failed device not ready
when booting.
I'm pretty sure that it's a hardware thing since I don't have that problem on my laptop (on which i have the same version of GRUB installed).
I've added all_generic_ide to kernel line in GRUB and it seems to work now, although i still get the "device not ready"-message when booting.

Thanks, DSpyder I already had it as hd0,0. I found the clue here to get my USB Booting.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … _a_USB_key
I used /dev/sdbx versus the UUID, and edited the /etc/mkinitcpio.conf, add the usb hook to the hooks array right after udev.

Hello,
When I start my Facetime in Lion it askes for my user name and password, so I put in my apple id and password. It then takes me to a screen that says "people will call you using your email, please enter your email below" so I enter the email that is associated with my apple id and the programs says " this email is already in use by another apple account"
Its the correct email, so is this some kinda bug

Go to Finder "Go" menu hold the option key and choose Library. Then go to Preferences delete this file:
com.apple.facetime.plist
Restart Facetime
