TS4185 Experiencing problems w/FaceTime...

I have not been able to send/receive calls on my iMac for awhile.  I finally turned FT off.  When I tried to turn it back on, I had to like re-register.  Once I select the email address I want to use, FT cannot verify to complete the process.  I get an error message...The server encountered an error processing registration.  Please try again later.  Suggestions???

Apple -- I hope you're reading this!!
Just so you don't feel all alone, Schn5, I have the same problem with Facetime. Have had if for some time now, too!
I'm running a MacBook Pro, with OS X Lion. (Version 10.7.5).
I know I have my Apple ID & Password right. I signed up for this community using it. Yet, when I try to sign into Facetime "to activate Facetime" I get exactly that error message you quoted: The server encountered an error processing registration.  Please try again later. 
Additionally, my FaceTime Preferences are greyed-out; that is to say, I have no access to preferences.
I figured my Facetime app got corrupted, so I trashed it and went to re-buy the app from the App store. That didn't work either: the store returned with this notice: “We could not complete your purchase. Facetime can’t be installed on “Mac  HD” [my hard drive] because the version of Mac OS X is too new.”
So, what do we do now? Is there anybody out there who has a fix on this?
And Apple -- SHAME ON YOU! Steve Jobs would never have put up with an ongoing glitch like this!

  • Why am I experiencing problems with Facetime for iPad after iOS 6 upgrade?

    I recently upgraded my iPad 3 to iOS 6. Everthing works fine except Factime. Everytime I try to Facetime I get a message saying "email is already in use". I've tried creating a new email account and it still won't allow me access to my Facetime. Any advice?

    You can't downgrade your iOS version.

    I have downloaded facetime from the App store and I keep receiving this message - An internal FaceTime error occurred.  There was a problem with FaceTime. You need to quit and open FaceTime again.  Please help!

    This error message could result from an incorrect setting for date and time, or an operating system which does not have the latest updates installed.  It's a good idea to have your location setting on automatic.  Turn on the wi fi in your mac for a minute or so, to allow it to automatically search for your present location.  Do this even though you have the correct time Date settings displayed.

  • TS3276 Anyone experiencing problems sending mail using TalkTalk - can receive but not send  - was ok up until pm 24/08/12 - have recently loaded Mountain Lion patch could this be the problem?

    Anyone experiencing problems sending mail using Apple Mail viaTalkTalk - can receive but not send  - was ok up until pm 24/08/12 - have recently loaded Mountain Lion patch could this be the problem?

    "I managed to solve the problem. Under smtp settings (mail preferences/accounts/edit smtp) I set the outgoing port to 25 (as recommended by Talktalk), no authentication (set to none) and unchecked SSL. I found that until I set the port to 25 and authentication to none I was unable to uncheck SSL. One I had done this I was able to send from my main email and other email adddresses set up under my account."
    Superb advice R&W!  My email sending block using TalkTalk started 2 months ago using Snow Leopard, continued when I upgraded to 10.8.2, and has been persistent on my wife's new iPad (IOS 6.1).  Implementing your wise words has fixed all that, and now enables me to call her on FaceTime — previously only she could call me.  Thank you so much; this will save hours of further fruitless searching and phoning.
    Please remember that your email is now insecure, if you wish to have a secure connection SSL must be on and port 25 should be avoided.

  • Problems with FaceTime and Time Capsule?

    I was wondering if anyone who uses Time Capsule for their WiFi router has ever experienced any problems with FaceTime?  I use that as my router out of state, and when placing calls to my Mom, she has a LinkSys router.  Every time I go to try a FaceTime call, the sound is spotty, and then the call eventually craps out.  However, Skype works just fine.  During a recent visit to her home, I tried a FaceTime call and it worked just fine, which led me to wonder if it had anything to do with us having separate routers, or if it's a strength of the Internet connection signal?  Was just curious if anyone else had similar issues?  Thank you in advance!

    Sounds like a Internet connection problem to me, probably too slow.
    You can try identifing the more problematic router/Internet connection by FaceTime calling a iPhone on a 3rd Wi-Fi network. If it works from your location but not your mom's, then your mom's router or Internet connection is the problem. You can further narrow it down by switching routers after finding the location that has the problem.
    You can check the speed of the Internet connect and make sure the wireless router is updated and configured correctly.

    I am experiencing problem (the installation does not start) when I try to install ArchiCAD 17 Educational on my mac. I am using Yosemite. How can I fix it?

    You need to contact the developer/manufacturer directly to determine if their product is compatible w/Yosemite.  It is not listed on their system requirement website:
    Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks
    Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
    Mac OS X 10.7 Lion
    Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard*
    Note: ArchiCAD 17 is the last version of ArchiCAD to support Mac OS X 10.6
    Only case insensitive file-system volumes are supported.

  • Re: [iPlanet-JATO] Experiencing problem while executing model.

    Hi Todd,
    Thanks a lot for your input!
    In the case , I found that "TO_CHAR(PLAN_DT, 'MM/DD/YYYY')" is alaised as a
    column name in the resultset. So I am using this as a column in Jato
    Descriptor for Plan_Dt. Now it is working fine.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Santa.

    Santa--
    I am experiencing a problem while executing a bounded model. I am usingQueryModelBase. Whenever the following query gets executed inonBeforeModel
    execute of TiledView, it throws an exception describing "PLAN_DT not found
    in ResultSet". If you execute this query on the SQL prompt then we getrows
    of data. Please could you tell us how the mapping between model and
    resultset works ? And what changes do we have to make to execute thisquery.
    >>
    SELECT PART_NM,NEWTXTDOLL
    TO_CHAR(PLAN_DT, 'MM/DD/YYYY'),
    FROM cpsselect
    WHERE CHG_DT >= TO_DATE('2001-06-17', 'YYYY-MM-DD')The mapping of result set to model is done via JDBC, using the columnnames
    you provide in your model's column descriptors. It sounds as if you are
    providing the column name "PLAN_DT" in a descriptor, and when the model
    tries to look up that column in the result set, there is no such columnand
    the operation fails.
    In order to debug this, you should try running your query with a JDBC
    connection, not SQL*Plus or your command-line SQL tool. What you need to
    find out is how the expresion "TO_CHAR(PLAN_DT, 'MM/DD/YYYY')" is aliasedas
    a column name in the resut set. The easiest way to do this is to write a
    simple class that does nothing but use your JDBC driver to connect the
    database and execute this query. After execution, use theResultSetMetaData
    information to find out the column names for the result set. Then, use
    these column names in your JATO column descriptors.
    Another Problem:We are not getting the values for NEWTXTDOLL column whenwe try to display it in a Tiled View.
    I'm sorry, this isn't enough information for me to offer any suggestions.
    Using the technique above, determine which columns are coming back in the
    result set, and make sure your display fields in the TiledView are boundto
    those column names. The problem could be something as simple as a typo in
    the field's bound name, or something more complex like the column in the
    result set being named something you don't expect.
    Another approach might be to alias the columns yourself using the "AS
    <alias>" expression, and assign them names that you choose instead ofusing
    the names assigned by the database or JDBC driver.

  • Problem with Facetime and my MacBookPro camera

    Hello,
    I've got a MacBookPro and I have a problem with Facetime and my front camera.
    When I have a discussion with an iMac or an other MacBook the image received by the other person becomes fix.
    To unfix it I have to put my finger on my camera and then everything is good until the next time, 4 to 10 seconds later I've got the problem again.
    Perhaps somebody can help me.
    My head on my screen is always good even when the bug appear on my correspondent's screen.
    For information, the 2 mac have the same iOS version (OSX Lion) and Facetime version.

    Hi Dave,
    Edit: Well, I guess I was lost when I posted this. My answer was regarding a problem with OS X, not iOS. I'm going to leave the answer here in case someone else with a Facetime for Mac issue can benefit, because when you're searching for "Facetime AND Login", you could land in any discussion area. -Jerry
    Keychain Access.app is in your Utilities folder in your Applications folder.
    The path will be: Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access.app.
    Keychain is where all your passwords are stored for those applications that you don't want to have to manually log into all the time.
    It's a handy app to become familiar with, for instance if you want to look up a password or user name from the past.
    Hope this helps you.

    I did see mention of using Google Public DNS while I was searching the forums prior to posting, but to be honest didn't think it was a DNS-related problem.
    However, to rule it out I've set the prefered DNS servers on my router to Google's, but FaceTime still disconnects after 4-5 seconds when calling between me and my brother-in-law.  It doesn't matter who initiates the call.
    As a test, before I made the changes to my router, I logged into FaceTime as him on my MBP and tried calling myself on my iMac, and that was successful.
    The same test between the two iMacs when they were here was unsuccessful, so now I'm definitely thinking it's something on the '08 iMac.
    Now I just need to figure out what...

    If you have an external drive equal to or larger than your internal HD, clone your internal to it with either Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper. Test the clone to make sure it's bootable. Then upgrade either one. Try it out first.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Don't download MacKeeper. Users complain about this app and it damages OS X. Also, Mac OS X knows how to take care of itself, so you don't need any other cleaning application that may damage OS X. See > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3691

  • Is anybody else experiencing problems accessing the itunes store?

    i'm on a macbook pro 10.6.8. my itunes is 10.3.1. i haven't experienced problems before, just today when i was trying to update some iphone apps.  the updates wouldn't download and it kept giving me the network timeout error.  i checked my connection and everything is working, so it's clearly not a network problem.  i also tried logging on to the app store app, and it wouldn't let me. i always get the error connection failed.  i am however logged in via itunes.  i just couldn't update apps or browse my account info, etc.
    i couldn't access the itunes/app store on my iphone either.
    i also browsed the various topics on here, which were similar to what i was experiencing and have tried the fixes offered but have had no luck so far.  i was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this problem right now? most of the topics i read date as far back at 2007-2008 =/
    any help/info would be appreciated.  thank you!

    I live in France, I don't know where you're living but it seems to be a "worldwide problem"...

  • My iPhone 5 is experiencing problems with the Wifi at home. It shows that it is connected to the wifi but anything that uses wifi doesn't load. The wifi works sometimes however but this is rare. How do I fix this?

    My iPhone 5 is experiencing problems with the Wifi at home. It shows that it is connected to the wifi but anything that uses wifi (apps etc) doesn't load content and just looks like it's loading forever but nothing ever comes. However the wifi and wifi/internet dependant apps work sometimes but it's rare. How do I fix this?

    Back up all data.
    Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
              8.8.8.8
              8.8.4.4
    That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.
    In Safari, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. If you’re using another browser, empty the cache. Test. Any difference?
    Notes:
    1. If you lose Internet access after making the above change to your network settings, delete the Google servers in the  Network preference pane, then select the TCP/IP tab and click Renew DHCP Lease. That should restore the original DNS settings; otherwise restore them yourself. Remember that you must click Apply in order for any changes to take effect.
    2. I don't use Google DNS myself, though I have tested it, and I'm not recommending it or any other DNS provider; the server addresses are offered merely for testing purposes. There may be privacy and technical issues involved in using that service, which you should investigate personally before you decide whether to keep the settings. Other public DNS services exist.
