FaceTime error unable to contact the FaceTime server

Hi,

How long have you been using FaceTime ?

When did you register your Apple ID for it ?

Is it the same Apple ID you use for iMessages ?

Can you iMessage to Messages beta if you have it on your Mac or to another iPhone or iPad ?

Apple is having server issues. Wait a little while. People are starting to report the can sign in but it may take up to 24 hours before everyone can.

Hi,

I can confirm that yesterday I could not send pic in iMessages with Message beta or from my iPhone.

Today I can.

As Message beta (and in fact iChat 6) and FaceTime both use an App called IMAgent on the Mac to help with logins it is likely that the same servers are involved at the Apple end.

IMAgent also "Listens" when the computer is On but the apps are not launched for Off Line Calls.

(iChat and iChatAgent has always done this for Off Line IMs from AIM Buddies and now IMAgent does it for Jabber and AIM in iChat or Messages and FaceTime)

It seems the servers are back on line.
