FaceTime for Mac won't install!

I downloaded the beta for FaceTime for Mac, but after I started to install it, I get an error message saying I needed a "Security Update 2010-005". (Example below)
I went to the Apple downloads and downloaded the update. I go to install it and I get an another error message saying, "You cannot install Security Update 2010-005 on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update". (Example below)
I checked my computer and I'm up to date with all my updates. Help please!

It seems you didn't read the system requirements on the Facetime for Mac download page:
+"Requires Mac OS X v10.6.4 Snow Leopard or later."+
Your signature say's you are running Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard, which would also explain why you are unable to install the Security Update for Snow Leopard.

Facetime for Mac won't get past "verifying"

No e-mail message is being sent. I hit "resend"...nothing.
Can't get beyond this part, so it doesn't work.
It says to follow the instructions in the e-mail to verify the address. I am not getting an e-mail, so I have no instructions. Is there a way to "verify" my address that will circumvent the need to receive the e-mail? I seem to remember doing some sort of verification process to get my daughter's ipod touch Facetime to work. I poked around in mobile me and couldn't find anything.
I added DNS entries for 8.8.8.8 etc.
I am on WIFI on each laptop going through an Airport Extreme hardwired to cable "modem".

PSE 8 for Mac won't Install; running Snow Leopard 10.6.2

Hi,
When PSE 8 was released for the Mac, I bought a copy from Amazon. I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.2 on two 24" iMacs and one MBP 15.3. The Adobe installer would hang about three quarters through the installation. I'm running PSE 6 for Mac without a problem. I returned the software to Amazon without a problem.
A month or two later I downloaded a trial version from Adobe's web site thinking perhaps the DVD I had gotten from Amazon was possibly defective. Nope. Same problem trying the trial version. It just hung about three quarters through the install on all three machines.
I'm running Photoshop Extended CS 3 with Snow Leopard and have no problems.
What gives?
Thanks,
Linnie K

Hi,
I wouldn't know. The first copy I bought from Amazon and returned. The second one was downloaded from your web site as a trial and I removed all the bits and pieces after killing an hour with the installer. I didn't think I could download the trial version a second time.
I'm using a Mac with Snow Leopard 10.6.2. My Photoshop Extended CSS3 and PSE 6 work just fine. I'm afraid that if I deleted all you had suggested, I would have trouble reinstalling the two apps I just mentioned. From what I've read on various forums,, Mac users (not all) are still having difficulty installing PSE 8.
BTW, this is the only app I've had any problem installing on my system. I deliberately waited for v. 10.6.2 to install the newer OS as there were earlier incompatibilities.
Thanks,
Linnie

If I already purchased FaceTime for Mac and recently upgraded my HD. How can I retrieve that app again? I found it in my Time Machine back up, but the files won't work. Please help.

Nope. I do the same exact thing. If you have DVD's and blu-rays you can't download a free application called Handbrake. You can set it to Apple TV2 automatic format and they will come out as playable m4v's that can play I'm iTunes. All you have to do is turn on Home Sharing in both iTunes and your Apple RV and you'll be good to go!

Acrobat Pro 9 for mac won't launch, reloaded from disk when hard drive needed to be replace. It's in applications folder but there is an X on the Acrobat Reinstall icon. What should I do.

Hi Janice,
What version of Mac OS are you using?
Adobe does not recommend migrating the software from one disk to the other.
Please run the setup file for Acrobat and reinstall the software. You might want to delete the existing version of Acrobat installed before reinstalling it.

Elements 8 for Mac won't launch

I just installed this program and it won't launch when double click the icon. This is a brand new laptop so the sys are current. Any ideas?

Barbara,
Thanks for the help, but I'm embarrassed to say that my problem was the fact I was double clicking on the icon instead of single clicking. I've only had this machine a couple weeks and old habits are hard to break.

Then I would do this. Uninstall it (there's a link to the uninstaller in the PSE 8 application folder), and then create a new admin user (system preferences>accounts), log into that user and run the install from there. Be sure to repair permissions afterwards. If all is well in the new account you can log back into your existing account and delete the new one.

Acrobat Pro for Mac won't start, even after restarting the machine. Any suggestions?

Hi Patrick,
Can you please mention the version of Adobe Acrobat that you are using and on what OS version. Also mention whether this problem has started recently and was running fine earlier or is it a fresh install and has never worked for you.
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the product after you started facing this issue.

Problem with facetime for mac

hello guy! I've got a problem with facetime for mac.My sister has a I-pod touch fourth generation with factime but i cna't phone her a message come on my mac.It say "xxx can't receive facetime's calls"!Can you help me??

Thanks, Dah•veed.
I did see mention of using Google Public DNS while I was searching the forums prior to posting, but to be honest didn't think it was a DNS-related problem.
However, to rule it out I've set the prefered DNS servers on my router to Google's, but FaceTime still disconnects after 4-5 seconds when calling between me and my brother-in-law. It doesn't matter who initiates the call.
As a test, before I made the changes to my router, I logged into FaceTime as him on my MBP and tried calling myself on my iMac, and that was successful.
The same test between the two iMacs when they were here was unsuccessful, so now I'm definitely thinking it's something on the '08 iMac.
Now I just need to figure out what...

Where is my FaceTime for Mac?

Hi everyone,
I just purchased FaceTime for Mac, but I have not received a confirmation e-mail nor do I find the app anywhere on my MacBook? What do I do? Where can I find it?
Thans in advance for your kind help!

I'm having the same problem. I'm running 10.7.3 and I've tried calling friends and family, one who has the latest generation iPod touch, and one who has another new MacBook Pro, and while my call pops up on their screen when they click "accept" the system gets stuck in a continual "connecting" mode. When they call me, nothing on my end happens while on their end the calls are ringing. What can I do to fix it?

In General 3rd Party AV Software is Not Required as Mac OS X tends to look after itself.

Video won't run. telling me to update flash player. click on update for mac won't load?

video won't run, telling me to update flash player, click on update for mac won't update. do i need to load flash player and is it ok for mac?

Yes, it's fine for your Mac ...
Most sites such as YouTube require the Flash plugin.
Flash isn't a player per se, but a plugin.
Sometimes uninstalling the current plugin then reinstalling new can help.
Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Make sure and uninstall the old plugin first then restart your Mac.
If you use Safari to view videos, from the Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
Now try a video.

Can I call an iPhone (international number) using FaceTime for Mac?

I have a MacBook Pro. My husband, who's stationed in Okinawa, has an iPhone 4 with an international phone number. If we are both in a wifi area, does FaceTime for Mac work when calling an international number??

Yes.
Note that iPhone must be using iOS4.1 (or later) to FaceTime to Mac (or iPod touch).
On your Mac in your wi-fi area, click "Contacts", find and click on his iPhone's number. If he is connected to compatible wi-fi, he will get your invitation.
