Facetime for Mac 1.0.4

What has Apple said? Nothing, because they have made no comment. Working for Apple seems to be your cover.


There is no conspiracy, it's just lack of concern on Apple's part as you said they failed to TEST.


Cut the crap.

Apple isn't saying anything probably because they aren't aware of any issues with FaceTime.

Apple can or can't be concerned about something they may or may not be aware of.

Users who post issues in a troubleshooting forum represent a small minority of users having issues with their Apple products.

That is why I posted in an earlier response to use Apple Feedback to make them aware that users using older versions OS X are having issues with the new FT version.

And I posted this suggestion in other recent FaceTime problem related posts, as well.

I posted a feedback/bug report.

You certainly can do the same.

If your issues with the new FaceTime version is of this great importance to you, then submit a bug report of the issues you are having to add to their awareness or lack of awareness of the issue.

Can any of you guys who have version 1.0.2 make it available for download somewhere?


There is no way (I tried everyting) to get 1.0.4 to work. There is a serious issue with 1.0.4:


4/15/14 8:34:38 PMimagent[220]Unable to create APS daemon connection: (os/kern) failure
4/15/14 8:34:38 PMimagent[220]Unable to get public token: (ipc/send) invalid destination port

I have no means to revert back to version 1.0.2 and Apple is not addressing the issue it seems ....

Oh yeah - by all means - go back to a PC. I work on a PC all day long. Today I had to reboot because Explorer got hung up and everything came to a screeching halt. Rebooted. Took 45 minutes for reboot to complete and system to come back up (with the "Restore Active Desktop" error which, even when you click on it, does not restore the active desktop). This is not something that happens only occasionally either. I have never had to reboot my Mac.


And what PC has a quality built-in camera/mic, etc. so you can use Skype (use it well) without any peripherals? Even the Skype website recommends that you use a headset for the best experience.


So, yeah - by all means - go back to a PC. They are sooooo advanced.

Hi Marin,


You might want to contact Apple Support on this to see if they can offer any help. If you click on the Applications and Other Software Topics, then on Topic Not Listed, then put in a short description of the issue, it will take you to a screen that will allow you to set up a call with Apple.


Don't know if they will be able to help, seeing as this release appears to have a serious problem but it can't hurt to try....


Best of luck,

I don't think your going to get anything constructive going with this troll.

There isn't any doubt that the Mac is on a superior operating system and you can see it with all the copying being done by the cheap competition.


To have someone get onto a forum and beat it up like a denier missing the part of the brain that lets science reveal truth only gets us into the belief vs. fact realm. Lets not go there.


As I mentioned earlier isn't an easy fix for this recent Facetime upgrade corrupting Facetime just to use Time Machine? The clown troll did basically the same thing by dragging and dropping (another Apple ino) from another computer.

You're right.

Somtimes I really get frustrated with these "special" types of "persons"

My initial responses to this user were calm and civil and rational, and I took the "higher" road with my responses, but he kept coming back with rude comments and unwarranted attitude and I let it get to me.

I should have a thicker skin, by now, with these types of users to just "let it go"

This is not the first time and I am sure this won't be the last time I will be tested, like that. in these forums.

I wil keep trying to stay more calm, collected and more of a professional here as I am in my own business dealings in my own life.

Thank you for pointing this out and calling me out on this.

Some days....

MacRumors reports that many of the iOS6 users and OSX 10.8 users are currently experiencing FaceTime connection trouble.


http://www.macrumors.com/2014/04/17/ios-6-facetime-issues/


While the patterns of the trouble appear different (i.e. not connecting v.s. not siging-in), it may suggest that our v.1.0.4 trouble might be also related to the entire FaceTime system glitch, rather than a bug in the application itself.


Let's watch.
