I couldn't login into FaceTime on my MacBook Pro.

I recently bought a refurbished MacBook Pro 2015 Model running on Mac OS Catalina updated version. Face Time login on my MacBook Pro is showing error, which I seamlessly using on my I Phone and I pad Pro. Always When I try to login into FaceTime it is showing some Customer Code. Does any one faced this issue before ?

My guess is the computer was not properly setup for you. What you need to do is follow these instructions.


Internet/Network Recovery of El Capitan or Later on a Clean Disk


You will need a fast, working Internet connection, preferably, Ethernet. If you must use Wi-Fi, you will be asked to select your network and enter the network password. This procedure will install the original version of macOS that came pre-installed from the factory.


  1. Restart the computer. Immediately, at or before the chime, hold down the (Command-Option-Shift-R) keys until a globe appears.
  2. The Utility Menu will appear in from 5-20 minutes. Be patient.
  3. Select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button.
  4. When Disk Utility loads select the target drive (out-dented entry w/type and size) from the side list.
  5. Click on the Erase button in Disk Utility's toolbar. A panel will drop down.
  6. Set the partition scheme to GUID.
  7. Set the Format type to APFS (SSDs, only if installing Mojave or Catalina ) or Mac OS Extended, (Journaled.)
  8. Provide a volume name, usually "Macintosh HD."
  9. Click on the Apply/Erase button, then click on the Done button when it activates.
  10. Quit Disk Utility and return to the Utility Menu.
  11. Select Install OS X and click on the Continue button.


After you finish the Setup Assistant, you can upgrade to Catalina: How to upgrade to macOS Catalina.
