I want to use FaceTime under Mavericks so that I can share stuff with
a remote colleage.

However, with FaceTime (3.0) on both my iMac (10.9.5) or MacBook Air
(10.9.5), whenever I type in my Apple ID's email address and password
in the FaceTime prompts and click Sign In, it briefly changes "Enter
Apple ID" to "Signing in..." and then changes it back to "Enter Apple
ID", leaving me apparently not signed in to FaceTime.  Only if I
deliberately enter a wrong password or ID does it say "Incorrect
Apple ID or password".  So I'm entering my info correctly but not
getting anywhere.

On another MacBook Air running 10.10.2, when I start FaceTime (3.0),
it logs me in without asking for my password and activates the
camera, showing me in the FaceTime window, ready to make a connection 
(which I verified I was able to do).

Is there some setting I need to fix under Mavericks to make FaceTime
work?

Martin
