Unable to FaceTime Mac to Mac

My friend and I have been trying to connect via FaceTime between our Macbook Pros. We both also have iPhones. When I try calling from my Mac, the call only gets sent to his iPhone, but not his Macbook Pro. When I try calling from my iPhone, the call only gets sent to his Macbook Pro and not his iPhone. The exact same happens when he tries to call me. We've also tried calling from different numbers and email addresses with no luck. Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, PLEASE let me know how I can fix it. It's very inconvenient not being able to talk from two of the same devices.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ashfaq Mohd,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that after changing your Apple ID password, you are no longer able to use FaceTime or Messages on your mac. In this situation, I would recommend reading over the Troubleshooting FaceTime for Mac section in the attached article. Also, I would recommend signing out of your accounts in Messages and FaceTime and signing back in fresh with your new password if the issue continues after the steps in the article.

I am unable to download mac os x version 10.6. Help me please

i am unable to download mac os x version 10.6. Help me please

It is not, and never has been, available for download.
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is still available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Before installation you should back up all your data.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes (you will need the latest version in order to synch with mobile devices).

Unable to FaceTime with wife

Hi
I am in the uk. Me and my wife have iPhone 4. When my wife tries to FaceTime at home with me. It says unable to connect or unable to FaceTime with me for some reason. I am able to FaceTime with other people. And I am able to call my wife on FaceTime. Done FaceTime using same wifi connection in the house. What can be going wrong. At first my wife facetime option said waiting for activation on her iPhone in the phone menu. So I did a soft reboot holding power button and home together til I get apple logo to fix this but I don't know what can be stopping my wife facetime with me. Can anyone help. She has tried to FaceTime other people but they did not have there iPhone with them. I mean it does not even attempt to connect and make that beeping sound on my iPhone. FaceTime just cuts out with my wife when she tries me for some reason.

(1) If you can contact others, but your wife cannot contact anyone, the problem must be at her end.
She can go to a different location and try to see if the problem is with the wi-fi at her usual location. If she can connect FaceTime from other locations but not from where she is trying to call you from now, she will need to troubleshoot her wireless access.
(2) If she cannot FaceTime with anyone regardless of which wi-fi hot spot she tries, perhaps she has not configured her FaceTime or Settings correctly.
(3) She may find help for either problems in this article:

All of us on older iOS are having problem with Facetime since Apr 16 2014. If you search more on the forum, there are gazzilions discussion. Apple is forcing all of us to upgrade. Not only yours, but also the party that you are trying to contact must have the latest iOS.

Unable to Reboot After Software Update - Unable to Reinstall Mac OS 10.4.10

Hello,
I just bought a Macmini 9 months ago, and I believe I may need to either erase the HD to reinstall the original Mac OS (10.4.10) or else replace it. However, I am not familiar with Mac and don't know how to reformat the disk. Can anyone help?
Each time there is a software update, I experience problems starting up from the HD. After the last update a few days ago, I am unable to start up from the HD at all. I tried using the original install CD 1 to reinstall Mac OS 10.4.10 with archiving. However, I received an error saying "unable to install because there is a newer version already installed." Therefore, I tried to start up from the HD again by pressing Option key at startup, but the Macmini continously turned off by itself without rebooting. I tried reinstalling Mac OS with the erase option, but it failed. After that, the Mac OS install CD1 only gives me the option to reinstall additional applications, but when I select continue, there is not HD shown to install the applications.
Disk Utility First Aid on CD1 was unable to repair the disk. I received the following messages: "Invalid sibling link", "Volume check failed", "The underlying task reported failure on exit", "1 HFS volume checked", "1 volume could not be repaired because of an error."
At the bottom of the page under Disk Utility, the following information about the disk is available. Format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled); Capacity: 111.5 GB (119,690,149,888 Bytes); Available: - ; Used: - ; Number of Files: - ; Owners Enabled: - ; Number of Folders: - .
System Profiler is able to identify type, disk identifier, file system, etc. It shows the volume supports journaling, but is not journaled.
Scan Image for Restore shows Library_Preferences (Empty), and Root applications are all grayed out.
I performed the Apple Hardware Test (ver 3A129) by pressing D at startup. The test ran for 5 minutes and 6 seconds. It reported "No trouble found".
It seems the HD is empty, but the install CD is not offering any options to reinstall the OS, only the additional applications. I believe it is a partition error, but I am not familiar with Mac and hesitate to proceed any further.
How do I reformat the disk so that I can reinstall the original Mac OS 10.4 and 10.5?
Your help is sincerely appreciated. Thanks.

Good news!
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.
I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.

Unable to connect mac OS 10.4 with airport extreme 4th generation

I am setting up an old PowerBook G4 for my nephew. Running Mac OS 10.4.11. I am unable to get the PowerBook G4 to speak to my Airport Extreme 4th generation. Is this an incompatibility issue that cannot be fixed?

I guess it's time to go down to Starbucks and buy an overprised Latte
If the coffee place is running an "open" network that does not use wireless security, the G4 should connnect.
If the coffee place uses WEP 40 or WEP 128 encryption, then the G4 will likely connect as well.
My guess at this point would be that the AirPort Extreme is using WPA2 Security and the G4 operating system...or the wireless card in the G4.....will not support this level of security.
So, although the G4 might be able to handle OS X 10.5.7 or higher, the wireless card may still limit what you can do.
Things might be a whole lot easier....and a lot less expensive than a new wireless card.....if you try a USB wireless adapter on the G4.....assuming that the G4 supports a USB connnection.

Mac OS 10.9.1(Maverick) + Blackberry Desktop Software 2.4.0 build 18 and Blackberry Curve 9320 - unable to sync Mac contacts nor calendars

this is so frustrating!
I upgraded to mac OS 10.9.1 a few months ago. I can no longer sync my mac contacts nor calendars onto my Blackberry Curve - this is my business phone.
I've hunted and hunted around for a solution and have got nowhere, other than a very long convoluted method which requires me to back-up my mac contacts, go into various files and change things ... all very risky. I appreciate that Mac have done the dirty by seeminly removing iSync and unabling Sync Services in the normal sense of the word, but I would've thought that Blackberry by now would have come up with a work around?
Can I export the data and import it into the phone somehow? or Has anyone got a viable solution? If not the blackberry is going in the bin and I will get a smart phone that does "talk" to my mac.
Many thanks

I have the same problem, and a supervisor Apple Support guy just told me (23 jan 14), after 2 days of searching, that it is impossible to sync a BB with Mavericks...
I am furious too : it is just like if Apple would be telling plainly that an iPhone cannot phone to a BB...!

Unable to import Mac address book

I am unable to import my Mac Address Book into Thunderbird.
In thunderbird, I have gone to tools>import>address book>text file . Address Book is not highlighted, so I am not able to choose it.
I have also tried to export it from Address Book. In Address Book I have also gone to file>export>export Group vCard, and it's the same porblem, Address Book is not highlighted, so I am not able to choose it.
What am I missing? Can someone please help?

I just installed MFFAB 0.7 in a test profile of TB 31.1.1 with no problems, but on Win 7. Perhaps there is an issue installing it on the Mac OS, in which case I would contact the add-on author. Almost all add-ons can be installed on Win, OSX or Linux.
Otherwise, what happens if you open TB Address Book, Tools/Import, select Address Books, then vCard file, then select the .vcf file created from Mail app?

Unable to load Mac OS x Leopard CPU drop in DVD

The Leopard DVD Will not load when holding down"C" on starting up.
Installer unable to open the package.
Message says this is likely due to install framework's runner executible not having the proper ownership and/or permissions.
Thus I can't reload OS 10.5

Which version iMac do you have, and which Leopard DVD are you trying to boot from?
Is it one you originally used to install Leopard on your iMac or did your iMac come with Leopard?
If the latter, you have to install from the Software Restore disc that originally shipped with your Mac.
If the former, it could be the DVD has become damaged somehow (scratched, dirt on the disc, etc.)

Unable to Mount "Mac OS standard" Volumes

I am unable to mount volumes of file system "Mac OS standard." In this case I am trying to mount an image I made of a Starcraft BroodWars CD, but my computer claims that the file is damaged. However it says this of all of my saved images and I find this to be unlikely. I attempted to burn the image to disk using the Disk Utility, but even while disk utility seems to recognize the CD, it will still not mount it. Attempts to verify the disk yield the error:
Verifying volume “Brood War CD”
Checking HFS volume.
Invalid number of allocation blocks
Volume check failed.
Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed.
Any advice?

Yes, I think you need to repair your hard drive from your disk. Did you try to reset the Pram?
If my advise is something you already tried, remember there is no way for me to know this.
If you want instructions on either, post back.
I wish you well.
Ray
