Problem with Facetime

Hi,
I'm facing a problem with Facetime on mac. I download it more than once and restarted many times. Still facing the same problem.

Each time I try to sign in, it keeps loading.... it takes forever to sign me in!! It keep saying ( Signing in...) Then never sign me in.

I'd highly appreciate if you could help me to get this to workout.

Your FT iD must be a working email address, etc.

unfortunately i'm having the same issue. facetime has been "signing in" now for around a half-hour. for a while i thought it would take a few minutes to download my contacts from mobileme or something like that, but this shouldn't take this long. hopefully someone can help soon, but at least you know you're not the only one with this problem...

Hi !

I faced the same problem, and this is what I did to make Facetime work with iMac

1. Make sure your login ID and password is verified
2. I didn't change the DNS, but I change another modem which don't have password access !
3. And once it connect, I can login my Facetime immediately. Then I quit Facetime, change back to my previous modem (which have login password), and it works fine after that.

Not sure what is the problem, as it is in Beta version, but i think something to do with the router as observed by others.

Cheers !

Welcome to Discussions, d0ma1n

Thanks for sharing your successful idea.

For users that do not have a second "modem which don't have password access", shutting everything down and restarting modem, router/wireless (if you have separate devices), and Mac in order may accomplish the same thing. Be sure to let the self-test finish on each device before starting the next one.

Thanks again for letting us know what worked for you.
