I can't login to FaceTime

You don't need to get a verification email, you just need to add 8.8.8.8 and/or 8.8.4.4 to your DNS servers under network preferences (Click on advanced and then the DNS tab). Then restart your computer. Facetime should be working again!

Doesn't work. I have both 8.8.8.8 AND 8.8.4.4 and it's still not working; still says that it can't access the account without a verification email (which I never get, for some reason). And yes, I rebooted each time I added one to the list.

After an upgrade of Lion and a reboot, this tip worked. Thank you!

After a frustrating hour of intensive tries, password reset etc. I found your post and applied the 8.8.8.8 in the DNS tab of my MacBook pro.

It works now. A big thank you!!

Can somebody from Apple explain why it is nowhere in the documentation?

Too bad that I had to search forums.

Geez, seems to work for (almost) everyone else but ME!!

This has not worked for me, either. My Apple id works fine for this post, as well as Apple Store purchases. But it does not work for FaceTime on this my new iPad...though works fine on my MBA.

I'm having the same problem. My FaceTime worked fine until earlier today, and then it just stopped working, so I reinstalled and now I've been trying everything I can think of or find for around 8 hours with no success. Apple need to take better care of their customers...

Thank you....adding the 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 worked for me as well....

OK well, 8.8.8.8 did not work, but with 8.8.4.4 Facetime logged me in. I confess to being confused as to why certain DNS servers allow this and others do not...

Hi

DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 did not work, I still have problem to log in to facetime

plus keychain access ask me all time my password

any help???

Macbook pro 10.8.2

Thanks

If changing DNS server to 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 in System Preferences doesn't work, the problem could be your firewall settings. When turned on, your firewall actively screens against almost every app using access to the web. To fix this, go into your System Preferences > Security & Privacy > select the Firewall tab. Click on the lock icon on the lower left hand corner of the window and type in the admin password. From there, select Firewall Options. From here, you can tell your Firewall to block all incoming connections. For the case of Facetime and iMessage, you will want to click on the box that allows signed software to receieve incoming connections from the web. From there, click on "+" and add Facetime, iMessage, and any other necessary apps to this list.

Hope this helps!

My firewall has been turned off, so.........

Again MY problem is that I'm not receiving the verification email; no, it's not going to my Junk Mail folder, I'm just not receiving it at all!

Yes, I tried using another email address, and no I still haven't gotten it.

soulchild375 Thank you so much, adding Facetime and Message Apps under the firewall tab worked for me. Once I did that I received a confirmation text on both my Mac and iPhone to say that my numbers and emails were added to Facetime and Message.

Hello,

None of the above worked for me, BUT I managed to login into my facetime account by connecting to the internet using my iphone's hotspot. Once connected facetime signed in on my macbook air. Then I disconnected the hotspot, connected the macbook via wireless and facetime remained signed in.

Hope it works for others too.

im trying to sign in to facetime on my ipad mini , after signing in, it want me to choose which email will be used to contact me. it had 2 choices my email account and another email account. whenever i select my email it goes back from the beginning where i should sign in again. I did it vise versa for the other email, ut i only get same results.. what to do??
