facetime not signing in

same issue, did you resolve?

I had a major issue with this too. Here is what finally fixed it for me....the doh >< answere:

Go to: System Preferences

- Users and Groups

-Myself

-Apple ID (set)

type in apple id

It fixed it

I tried this, but it still did not work. Any other ideas?

i have this prob too

Me too... trouble signing in to facetime using my macbook pro... so frustrating... how to fix this? works fine with my ipa2 and iphone4...

Apple ID was loged inn alreddy

im trying and it keeps verifying

I had to go into the Genius bar and ultimately they fixed it. Otherwise I don't know what to tell you.

so what did they do? i entered uid/passwd in

System Preferences

- Users and Groups

-Myself

-Apple ID (set)

which got me past the login, but then it wanted my email, which it couldn't verify, & suggested "check internet connection" whic\h obviously is fine, as i'm typing this online...duh

apple used 2 just work:-\

d'oh! i just re-entered my email, & now it's verified...but then what?

tried 2 attach a screenshot, but:

funny how apple's default screenshot fmt is not allowed...w-t-f:-\

note the next button is disabled...but wait, now it's not verified...

w-t-f???

FFaceTime would not sign in on my ipad2 os6. Found a hint in forum to make sure the time was set to automatic, not manual. Changed the time to auto and now FaceTime works.

Hi!

The problem, in most cases (unless the case has been changed motherboard or things like that), when messages and Facetime fails, it is because the "hosts" file has changed voluntarily or involuntarily as there are programs that change without asking.

solution:

1. Make sure the time is set automatically (System Preferences> Date & Time)

2. open "Terminal" (or from spotlight type "Terminal" and abirla)

wrote the following:

sudo pico / private / etc / hosts (if you do nothing hit enter)

3. Will appear "Password", which we type our password logon, to give us permission to modify this file.

4. With the arrow keys, search any line on which are the words "apple.com" or "verisign.com".

5. We introduce at the begining of the lines that contain one of those words, the # sign, and a space. at the begining of the lines, ok?

6. Once we have written the corresponding # in lines with the words I've written before, press CTRL X, then Y (to save changes), then press (enter).

7.Close Terminal entirely.

8. Open FaceTime and connect with the Apple ID and .... voilà! Online!

Best regards, and I hope your solution!

Sorry, but if this is what Apple has come to my 18th Mac will be my last. Doesn't someone have a way to make this work that the average computer user can understand?

Where is Apple help desk?

Should we suffer until we find the solution i am tired of this.

Bas service from apple

I did this and i fixed it i had the date wrong and didn't even know it
