FaceTime for mac crashes when i get an incoming call

When I get an incoming FaceTime call, my phone rings and I get an error message on my mac saying that FaceTime crashed. I can open the app manually and place a call and receive calls when FaceTime is already opened, but it will systematically crash when there is an incoming call and the app is not opened.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:


  • Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
  • In the Finder, select Go Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
  • Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.

Step 1

For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select

SYSTEM LOG QUERIES All Messages

from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select

View Show Log List

from the menu bar at the top of the screen.

In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)

Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

  • The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
  • Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
  • Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
  • Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

Step 2

In the Console window, select

DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION User Diagnostic Reports

(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.

I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.

  • If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
  • In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
  • Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Hi Linc,

Thank you for your response. here are the reports from the console. I hope this helps. Let me know if you need anything else from me to help me solve this.

The issue is on a MacBook Pro Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013 running Mavericks with all the last updates.

STEP 1:

All I see in the Console when I search for FaceTime is as follows. I do have an app called iTeleport.
