How are you all doing this? My FaceTime app has absolutely nothing in the main window except for the usual three buttons, and the menus only let me select my microphone. Even the Preferences item is dimmed. FaceTime works, though, because I can start calls from my Contacts app. What am i

Hey Alex! In my face tie window I have the contacts button selected and then it gives me a scroll area with a table of all my contacts. From there I can make an audio of video facetime call. Maybe I didn't understand your question. Jim On Mar 2, 2014, at 8:20 AM, Alex Hall mehg...@icloud.com

That's just it, though: I have no contacts button. No radio buttons, no toolbar, no scroll areas, just the close/zoom buttons and a (nearly useless) menu bar. On Mar 2, 2014, at 12:26 PM, Jim Gatteys jgatt...@gmail.com wrote: Hey Alex! In my face tie window I have the contacts button selected

I have this problem too. No, Jim, it's a weirdness with Facetime interface that causes it only to display a window with just the window controls and no scroll area or list of contacts. I'm kind of wondering if it has anything to do with not having a camera, which I don't, and the system is

Wow that's weird. But did you say that you can make calls through your contacts? Can you do command-,(coma) from that blank screen? Just wonder if your facetime has become deactivated somehow? Just interested to see your results. Jim On Mar 2, 2014, at 11:31 AM, Alex Hall mehg...@icloud.com

I haven't tried to make a call from contacts, but as I recall Alex says he can. No, for me, it doesn't matter whether Facetime is switched on or off; I still get that same screen when I open it. Teresa Everything is interesting if you go into it deeply enough.--Richard P. Feynman On Mar 2,

I did some digging online and it was indicated that getting rid of com.apple/facetime.plist would do the trick. Well, it hasn't worked for me thus far, unless there's another copy of it besides ~/library. I think the location of this file varies. I didn't find it in /library/system
