Facetime and Snow Leopoard issue
I just download Facetime from the Mac Store today (April 21). I'm on Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and when I try signing in, unable to. Anyone else have this problem? I thought the bug was fixed.

Hey there JLOK,

If you encounter issues making or receiving FaceTime calls, try the following:
- Verify that FaceTime is enabled in FaceTime > Preferences.
If the issue persists, or if you see the message "Waiting for Activation", try toggling FaceTime off and then on.
- Verify that the Date, Time, and Time Zone are set correctly:
- From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences > Date & Time > Date & Time.
- Enable "Set Automatically".
- Click the Time Zone tab and confirm the closest city is correct.
- Verify that both parties are connected to an active broadband Internet connection.
- See Mac OS X: Troubleshooting a cable modem, DSL, or LAN Internet connection.
- Consult Using FaceTime behind a firewallfor necessary ports to open in firewalls, security software and routers.
- If you encounter issues using a Wi-Fi network, use standard Wi-Fi network troubleshooting to resolve interference and other issues.
