FaceTime Beta (1.1.1) and FaceTime 1.0 (Mac App Store)

What's the difference between FaceTime 1.1.1 (Beta) and the one in the Mac App Store? Am I missing out on any features? Should I buy or no? Thanks!

The Mac App Store FacTime is for OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard only.
With OSX 10.7 Lion FaceTime became part of OSX.

I will check. Can the security update be installed if you can no longer open the Mac App Store app?
I was listening to the MacCast podcast and the host had a similar issue and did something similar to the link below. I am concerned that I may mess something up by doing this.

HT4710 Updates for iPhoto and iMovie in the Mac App Store

Hi,
I recently bought a new computer running Lion. When I started using the computer, I opened the Mac App Store and signed in with my Apple ID (the same one I've always used for buying apps from there, music from the iTunes store, and apps for my iPhone). I am able to easily access and download my old purchased apps to my new computer without a problem. However, in the updates section it shows updates available for both iPhoto and iMovie, but when I go to update them I get this message, "To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it." iPhoto and iMovie came on the new computer, and the only Apple ID account that I have ever used is the one that I am currently signed in under. Does anyone have any idea how I can get these updates, or at the very minimum, get rid of them so that they do not show up anymore (frankly, I find the red circle very annoying, and I don't really use either of these apps so I'm not too concerned about them).
Thanks!
Sorry, I found a few other questions about this same thing after posting, so I'll try those solutions.

Open iTunes on the new Mac, sign into your account and view your account information. There is a section for Purchase History where you can view the invoices for everything that you have ever bought from the iTunes stores and the Mac App Store.

If I bought Pages, Keynote, and Numbers from the Mac App Store on my Mac, can I get those programs on my iPhone?

Ok, I bought iWork from the Mac App Store on my iMac. I just wondering if I could get those three programs on my iPhone 5 for free since I already bought them.

The iVersions are slightly different than the desktop version.
They are not as powerful as the desktop version. In my case, I do all my document creating on the desktop (create the attendance spreadsheet and form) and edit only on the iPad (take attendance for the day). The commands needed to create the attendance form, for example, on the iGadget do not exist in the iVersion.

I bought my Mac with education pricing a week ago and missed the $100 Mac App Store promo

Long story short, I bought my first Mac a week ago with Education Pricing, mainly because Apple marked their education site with a banner reading "Last Call for Apple Education Pricing." Lo and behold, I received an email from Apple this morning about a new promotion for those buying with Education Pricing getting a $100 credit to the Mac App Store if they buy between June 16, 2011 and September 20, 2011. Is there any way I can receive the $100 credit even though I bought a few days before the promotion started? I would have waited longer to buy if I hadn't seen the "Last Call" banner on the Education Pricing page.

You can get a $100 education discount no matter when you buy it. The email seemed to be just informaing you about the offer. You can take your receipt into the Apple Store and they should be able to deduct the discount from your purchase. If they are "rude" about it, then return your laptop and repurchase it with the discount.

Where are Mac App Store user ratings and reviews?

What happened to all the user ratings and reviews in the Mac App Store? They're all missing. I checked a whole bunch of apps and nothing has any ratings or reviews from anyone. Has Apple gotten rid of user ratings and reviews? I sure hope not because I use those to help decide if I want to buy an app or not!

Yep. I think they've gone. But Google the app and another set of reviews (usually from the developers site) can be found.

How do I download and reinstall the mac app store?

I'm running 10.6.8 and I removed the Mac App Store application from my application folder because after numerous attempts it kept failing to open.
I went back to my software update hoping it would re-install the App Store. No such luck. Curious how I might go about re-installing an working version of the Mac App Store software.
Thanks so much.
AWrenn

Installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
will reinstall the App Store for you. It's ok to do this even though you already running v10.6.8
Restart your Mac after the combo is installed.
You should then be able to access the App Store from your Apple menu, the Dock, or the Applications folder.

Your computer could not be verified Mac App Store and FaceTime

Hi All
I've been trying through several forums for a long time to find a solution for my problem before giving up, I'll go down to the point:
I have an iMac Intel 20" early 2008 (I can provide more detailed specs when required). I am using Mac OSX Lion installed from a usb and prior used Snow Leopard. They problem has been consistent thru all versions, same symptoms, same all.
1. Whenever I try to login to Mac App Store I get the famous: "your computer could not be verified, please contact support for assistance". FaceTime also does not login, promptying a "server error, try later".
2. Contacted support, and after 16 emails back and forth all I was told at the end was: "I am able to log in into your mac app store account from this side after resetting your account,is there anything I can do for you today".... (!!!!????)
3. There has been a problem parallel to that, and although I am not sure they are related anyhow I need to point it out. My ethernet port stopped working and there is no way to create any connection through it. I can still use wireless quite well (reason why I still keep my machine). After sending the machine to repairs, diagnose was that it could be a problem on the logic board and to fix it may require to replace LB entirely. So I decided not to go for it and keep the machine only with wireless connection.
So I have tried every single solution found (so far...) on google and forums to no avail: a) deleting .plist, b) resetting network configs and creating new locations, c) resetting PRAMs (not sure if it solve anything, but tried anyway) and others. The problem still persists with the same symptoms.
I can login into iTunes store and buy applications from computer, iPhone and iPad, which makes me think that my credentials are valid, alas, I logged into this forum using them.
I also tried creating a new account at App Store, when I request it through the Application, the "little fan that advises you to wait" appears, but suddenly dissapear with no warning or message at all (!!!!????). It is like you never requested anything in first place.
Obviously I can still use my machine for internet and stuff, but my ability to purchase/use any Apple software is seriously restricted. I cannot purchase any software anymore if AppStore is going to be the main way to acquire it (which I think it will).
So, my big questions are:
1) Is this hardware problem (ethernet, logic board, connection ports) remotely related to the machine authentication process when using MacApp Store and FaceTime through Apple?
2) Is there a way to fix this through software, before I consider replacing the machine? (Please take into account that I have already tried TS1811, deleting .plist files, resetting network, creating new locations from scratch... I basically searched thoroughly on google, forums and tips and tried all reasonable found recommendations before posting).
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Livia and Huevoos (eggs??) for your interest in this post.
In a nutshell, I haven't been able to solve this. I gave up on Apple support after they proved useless.
As Huevoos suggested, and I confirmed it time and again after browsing thru endless forums, it seems that the user validation routine for the Mac App Store is done by looking into your network settings, which in my case are either incomplete or erroneous due to the broken-down ethernet. (I am still waiting for somebody more experienced in this forum to contradict or explain this).
So, because I still have wireless connection, I can use my machine for day-to-day chores, have not been able to purchase anything up to this date in the Mac App Store though. I'm waiting for either a software update that could correct this (Mountain Lion??? there's no guarantee only hope) or the moment when my machine will need to be replaced by a new one with a functional ethernet.
I'm sorry I can't be of more help. But I'm pretty much in the same situation as you guys.
Live long and prosper.

I have Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 ,I want to buy the updated operating system that puts iMessage and Facetime on my Macbook Pro. What should I search for, and then purchase, in the App Store?

FaceTime can run in the version of OS X that you currently have. To get Messageyou need Mountain Lion. The protocol used by Messages is iMeassage.
The question is does your MBP meet the specs for Mountain Lion.
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory
8 GB or more of available space

how do i fix?
thanks!!

Remove it and try again.

Mac App Store - FaceTime update to 1.0.1 fails

apparently I am not alone - seeing others with similar issue:
Error message from Mac App Store app:
You have updates available for other accounts
Sign in to (null) to update applications for that account.
can perform updates for other AppStore purchased applications. seeing same issue on 3 different Macs.

I have same issue. Have Facetime preinstalled on MBP, tried to call "X". It says "need to update Facetime". My version says 1.0, go to AppStore, click on "Buy" and it says i already have this and I need to go to software update. I go there and it says everything is up to date. ***?! I followed instructions from this thread to delete the app, but none of that works and it actually screws up the app. Luckily I had it backed up on an external harddrive. Called Apple Care.... they followed the same routine to move facetime to trash... and screw it all up.. ***??!
As it turns out, I finally figured it out. The message actually says "X needs to update Facetime", not me. There's nothing wrong with my facetime on MBP, as it works when I try to call "Y" and "Z". The problem lies with "X"'s iphone that needs updating. Problem solved.

Mac App Store v. 1.0.2 - Facetime installed v. 1.1.1

Dear Apple community,
can anyone tell me why I have installed the Facetime version 1.1.1 and in the Mac App Store the Facetime App is shown as v. 1.0.2. Also the Mac App Store shows the App as "0,99 $" and not as "installed". o.O
Furthermore neither the Apple Software Update nor the Mac App Store shows an update available.
In advance I thank you for your help!
P.S.: I have OS X Lion 10.7.3 (MacBook Pro Early 2011).
Yours sincerely,
Stema

Problem solved...
I didn't check myself that v.1.1.1 (which I have installed) is newer then 1.0.2 (Mac App Store). Classic false alarm...
Sry guys...

FaceTime App in Mac App Store ?

Is the FaceTime App in the Mac App Store different than the one already included in OS X?
https://itunes.apple.com/app/facetime/id414307850?mt=12

Mavericks came with Facetime installed, when I used Snow Leopard it wasn't installed, so I guess I would have had to purchase it. Version 3.0 most likely doesn't work on earlier operating systems.

My 10.8.3 update did not install properly citing an 'Unknown Error'. Now, my Mail and Mac App Store aren't working. What went wrong and how do i fix it ?

I tried this and still have the same problems. If I open Address book or the Mac App Store I get the library rebuild popup and a hang. I created a fresh user and then things are better apart from the printing issue. Its clearly some 3rd party software issue but the crash logs are meningless to me. I used the excellent Etre check app from http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck so I have a list of what is being loaded and can compare clean and crashed user info but as I cant work out which of the startup items, launch agents, launch daemons etc that are causing the problem.
I have eliminated Dropbox, Mac Keeper and Witness, and it isnt related to my exterrnal LED cinema dispay or my external thunderbolt drives, or any USB devices if thats any help to anyone else. Info from Etrecheck follows -

Mac App Store and spinning ball of death!

I have to Force quit the Mac App Store application.
I can sign in on Mac App Store, browse the applications but unable to buy or download anything.
All is fine using iTunes to buy an application or download a free app.

Thank you for your help

I finally got it to work.
My problem was Spotlight !!!!!!!!
I disabled a while ago Spotlight upon an advice that when you use Logic Pro on a professional basis like I do, it was better to turn off Spotlight. To do so I used Spotless.
I turn it back on and gone was my problem not being able to download anything from Mac App Store.
Hope this work for others.
