Facetime Missing Security Update

So me and most of my friends have iPhone 4's. we have been placing facetime calls all the time. i got curious about facetime for mac and decided to try it out. Everytime I try to install it, it says missing Security Update 2010-005. I've downloaded this and tried to install it over and over. It goes thru installation and restarts like it should. Tried to install facetime again after and it still says that its missing the security patch. Idk what to do to fix it. i've even installed other updates, 2010-006 and 2010-007 but with no prevail. Any suggestions?!

I have OSX version 10.5.8, which is below the minimum required for the facetime software.
I did 'software update' yet it never shows any software update available.
Do i have to manually do the software update for my mac? or should it be automatic. If it should be automatic what have i done wrong? All the settings i can see say that it is automatic. And besides - shouldnt the update for 10.6.5 be showing (or anything more advanced than 10.5.8) in the software update section?!

HT1338 Hi, I'm trying to load Facetime on my MacBook and it says "You are missing a critical security patch. Please use Software Update to install Security Update 2010-005". I've checked and all my software is updated. What do I do?

First off, iOS 5 will not run on Macs. You need to give us your Mac OS X on your Mac to determine which security update you need. Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac. And then read the link here:

Security Update 2010-005 for Facetime

Hi,
I have downloaded Face-time Beta to be installed on my iMac OS 10.5.8.
During Installation i get a message that I need to install first "Security Update 2010-005 using software update"
My software update shows no update required. Nevertheless, I have downloaded all 5 security updates and installed them one after the other, with no problems.
Still i get the same message that Security Update 2010-005 needed when I try to install the Facetime.
Can anybody knows a way out of this loop ? or how do I "Inform" the software update that the Security update 2010-005 is already installed ?
thanks,

Yes, you'd need to buy it - it's available widely for $29 (Apple store or resellers); you can then update to 10.6.4 - use the combo updater available here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1048
(updates for an OS are available for free, but you do have to pay for the initial upgrade to another OS).
Edit: And when you're doing the updates to 10.6.4, don't forget to repair permissions after each update.

Secunia Software Inspector Reporting Adobe Reader 8.1.2 Security Update 1 Missing

After deploying Adobe Reader 8.1.2 Security Update 1 to all of our managed computers, I ran a vulnerability scan using Secunia Software Inspector (http://secunia.com/software_inspector) and it is reporting that Adobe Reader is insecure (it is version 8.1.0.137) and references Secunia advisory SA30832 (http://secunia.com/SA30832). Specifically it reports that C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe is version 8.1.0.137, which it is. However, running Adobe Reader and selecting Help \ About Adobe Reader 8... from the menu reports that Adobe Reader is version 8.1.2. And selecting Help \ Check for Updates... from the menu reports "There are no updates available at this time." Shavlik NetChk also does not report Adobe Reader 8.1.2 Security Update 1 as missing.
The security bulleting from Adobe (http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb08-15.html) does not contain sufficient information to know if the security update has been correctly applied (there is no manifest of files with versions and dates to check).
It appears to me that the file C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe is not sufficient to determine the version of the installed Adobe Reader, that the update to Adobe Reader 8.1.2 does not update the version of this file, and that Adobe Security Update 1 does not update this file. Therefore, I suspect that Secunia Software Inspector is incorrectly reporting that Adobe Reader is vulnerable. However, without details from Adobe about what file are updated and what versions they should be, I cannot be sure.
How can I be sure that Adobe Reader is not vulnerable (it is fully up-to-date)?

July 9 2008 When I run secunia inspector I am still getting a message that I have an earlier version of Adobe Reader installed though I have 8.1.2 including the security update for 8.1.2 installed. Here is what I get:
(quote)
This installation of Adobe Reader 8.x is insecure and potentially exposes your system to security threats!
The detected version installed on your system is 8.1.0.137, however, the latest secure version released by the vendor, fixing one or more vulnerabilities, is 8.1.2.215.
Update Instructions:
Update to Adobe Reader 8.1.2.215 and apply Security Update 1.

Why is this?

Missing SENT & REPLY email msgs after installing Security Update 2006-008

I'm using Mail Version 2.1 (752/752.2) to handle my Mac.com and Comcast email traffic.
Today I realized that I cannot access/find any of my outgoing email messages sent prior to January 2, 2007. Any emails that I sent prior to that date are missing from my "SENT" mailbox(es). Also, whenever I click on the "Reply" icon next to an incoming email that I answered (prior to 1/2/07) a window pops up with the following message:
"Mail was unable to find your response to the message “(fill in the blank)”. You may have deleted the message."
I am 100% certain that I did NOT delete any of these sent messges.
Coincidentally (?) I installed Security Update 2006-008 (PowerPC) on January 2, 2007 as well. Did this update cause my sent messages to be deleted? Is anyone else having this problem? Anyone have any suggestions to recover/find my missing emails?
Thanks!

I’ll be out for several ours. If Spotlight cannot find those messages, it probably means that they’ve indeed been deleted for some reason. In that case, if you don’t have a backup, your only option would be to try to salvage as many deleted *.emlx files as possible with a data recovery tool such as Data Rescue II, TechTool Pro, or FileSalvage. Of these, the only one I know for sure that can currently recover deleted *.emlx files is FileSalvage. Stop using your computer right now if you want to try that, as anything you do with the computer may cause the deleted files to be overwritten.

Impact of missing a security update?

Currently have the imac 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, running on OS X 10.6.8. I was scanning through my software update logs (after completing the Security Update 2013- 006) and realized that along the way I somehow missed the Security Update 2011- 002. Will that cause problems for me? aka do the security updates depend on each other? or maybe it is better to ask if the security updates must be completed sequentially? Also, should I go back and download this update? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I am a mac newbie, so please keep it simple. Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You should install all security updates. They fix security problems that may be used to steal information on your iMac and cause problems soon. Apart from that, every security update fixes different things, so probably the things that the security update includes aren't fixed in your Mac

Critical Microsoft security update this am, now missing 1.5 mos emails

When I started up the MacBook Pro this morning there was a message to install a critical security update for Office/Outlook 2011. I started the download and closed all programs (except finder). The update completed successfully. When I restarted Outlook 2011, I found that the last month and a half of email messages I had saved, including responses still in my sent items folder, as well as yet unprocessed inbox items going back a week or so...all had vanished. Iʻve spent most of this afternoon searching apple and microsoft support discussion groups for clues, finding nothing definitive. It turns out there are FOUR identity files: main identity, main identity backup 11/1/11, 11/1/11 identity, and 11/1/11 identity backup. If I recall correctly, there was an Outlook data problem in late October, and at that time I found a Microsoft knowledge base article that led me through the steps of creating the 11/1/11 identity. Having found the folder containing all identity files, Iʻm not sure what to do with each; thereʻs only me and I only want one. Ideally, I could rebuild each one, then export data from each one; then set the 11/1/11 identity as default; then open Outlook and import the exported data files into this identity one by one...using a setting option to not import duplicates. HOWEVER, in previous years on Windows computers I did exactly this filtered importing into Outlook but dupes (and sometimes, triplicates) were created regardless. The chore of manually deleting the dupes takes hours and is mind-numbing; I donʻt want to have to do this again! So Iʻm gunshy. I hope thereʻs a more experienced and technically informed user who can guide me to the least time-consuming solution. By the way, apple support could not assist me with the file structure/location(s) for Microsoft Office Outlook on the Mac. In order to run a backup of last nightʻs shutdown Outlook data file from time machine, I need to know the filename and the file location path. Iʻm reluctant to phone Microsoft support, wait in line, and have to pay $60 plus for this information.

Yes, I had (eventually) done that yesterday. The final solution was to forward to myself the inbox items in each of two nonprimary identities (they came in while I was exploring to "map the territory" yesterday), immediately shutting down Outlook and changing to the next identity so no further current emails would be download to my MacBook Pro (this step was not documented anywhere on apple or microsoft support, I just tried it and it worked). I had located the identity files location, and determined which identity was my most recent primary one. Since the one on my computer had been corrupted by the security update, I located the last backup before shutting down the night before on Time Machine, restored it, and set it as default. Then I deleted all the "bad" identities to avoid confusion in the future. Upon restarting Outlook, my two "transport" emails downloaded from my third party spam filter server. I opened each, reviewed the attached emails, and moved the ones I wanted to examine further to the inbox on my computer. Then I deleted these two "transport" emails. There may be a few incoming emails from early yesterday morning that I have lost permanently, but by and large I have recovered all of my data, including what had been the missing 1 1/2 monthsʻ worth, via this somewhat trial-and-error, very time-consuming procedure.

Each time my iMac reboots i am prompted to enter my FaceTime password. This just started occurring after the most recent security update.

Each time my iMac reboots I am prompted to enter my FaceTime password. This just started occurring after the most recent security update. When I put my password in the pop up just comes back, if I press cancle it goes away. Any ideas on how to get rid of this annoying popup?

I had the same problem. Try this. Launch FaceTime. Click the toggle to turn it off; or Command-K. Quit. Do a restart, you shouldn't get the popup. You could then turn FaceTime back on if you wish. Either way, the popup should be gone from then on.

Missing letters since most recent security update

I I installed the recent Security Update last Friday. Starting today letters are missing from buttons and windows. For example, the cancel buttons have the "n" dropped out. Just like now as I'm typing this question! The letter after "m" seems to be having problems. Any ideas?

Fixed the problem from advise from another topic. I ran repair permissions and now everything I think is back to normal. I have so few problems I always forget about "repair permissions" Thanks for the advice!

Built in Audio missing after downloading latest Security Update

Hi everyone,
My Built-in audio is missing!
Under System Profiler, it says "No built-in audio" under the Audio (built in). In System Preferences, (under Sound) no devices are available to select. When I click "Show volume in menu bar" the speaker icon appears, but as soon as I click on it, it disappears.
I've been trying different solutions I've found in the various audio posts, but nothing seems to work.
I tried CTRL OPT P R, but that didn't work. I looked in my Library -> Preferences and I don't have any sort of com.apple.audio file.
I've been putting off downloading the latest Quicktime update, because everything was working fine. I downloaded the Security Update, thought it would be "safe", restarted, and my audio disappeared. I figured what can be worse, so I updated Quicktime as well along with all the Final Cut Studio 2 updates.
Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Erik

Thanks for your troubleshooting tips- I tried to re-install and create an archive so I wouldn't have to wipe the main drive, but there was an error creating an archive and the computer wouldn't do it. I've had the computer since October 2003 and have never had to re-install, so I decided to backup important stuff and just do a clean install.
After installing everything, I have lots of extra space on my drive and the system runs nice and quick once again.
... and audio is back too.

External drives went missing after Security Update 2015-002

I'm running late 2009 iMac 27" with up-to-date Mavericks (10.9.5).
I just ran the Security Update 2015-002 and now:
- my external Firewrie drive won't show up (WD MyBook Studio II 2TB)
- my external USB drive won't show up (WD MyBook Studio 1TB)
Both drives show up perfectly on another Mac (with Yosemite). Just not on this one.
Tried the usual, repaired permissions, reset pram, etc.
Any help would be great please

Security Update 2015-002 breaks Messages activation

Applied Security Update 2015-002 yesterday evening. Rebooted and everything seemed to work okay. Shut down for the night. Next day and now Messages won't activate.
I've tried everything, even turning on two-step verification and generating an app-specific password for "Messages and FaceTime" -- FaceTime take the password and works perfectly, while Messages gives some variation of these errors constantly:
It's only hosed on one of my Macs, the others will allow login to Messages.
Messages worked perfectly before the Security Update, now activation appears to be permanently broken.
Is this actually an iCloud problem or is something wrong with my Yosemite configuration?
Help! Any suggestions?

This could be a complicated problem to solve, as there are many possible causes for it. Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
Before proceeding, test on another network, if possible. That could be a public Wi-Fi hotspot, if your computer is portable, or a cellular network if you have a mobile device that can share its Internet connection. If you find that iMessage works on the other network, the problem is in your network or at your ISP, not in your computer.
Step 1
Check the status of the service. If the service is down, wait for it to come back up. There may be a localized outage, even if the status indicator is green.
Step 2
Sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your Apple devices. Log out and log back in. Try again to sign in.
Step 3
Restart your router and your broadband device, if they're separate. You may have to skip this step if you don't control those devices.
Step 4
From the menu bar, select
           ▹ About This Mac
Below the "OS X" legend in the window that opens, the OS version appears. Click the version line twice to display the serial number. If the number is missing or invalid according to this web form, take the machine to an Apple Store or other authorized service center to have the problem corrected.
Step 5
Take the steps suggested in this support article. If you don't understand some of the steps or can't carry them out, ask for guidance.
Step 6
From the menu bar, select
           ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the Proxies tab. If the box marked SOCKS Proxy is checked, uncheck it. You don’t need to change any other settings in the window. Click OK and then Apply. Test.
The result may be that you can't connect to the Internet at all. Revert the change if that happens, or if iMessage still doesn't work. Remember that you must Apply any changes you make in the preference pane before they take effect.
Step 7
Select from the menu bar
           ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Storage
and click
          Block all sites from storing information on this computer
Close the preference pane.
Step 8
Make sure you know the ID and password you use with iMessage. Launch the Keychain Access 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 and start typing the name.
Use the search box in the toolbar of the Keychain Access window to find and delete all items with "iMessage" or "com.apple.idms" in the name. Log out and log back in.
Step 9
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
If iMessage worked in the guest account, stop here and post your results.
Step 10
Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you start up, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound outputand Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. After testing, restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and test again.
If iMessage worked in safe mode, but still doesn't work when you restart in "normal" mode, stop here and post your results.
Step 11
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.apsd.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and empty the Trash.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 12
Reset the NVRAM.
Step 13
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
Step 14
Reinstall OS X.
Step 15
If none of the above steps resolves the issue, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or contact Apple Support. When you set up a support call, select "Apple ID" as the product you need help with, not the hardware model. That way, if you're not under AppleCare, you may be able to talk your way out of being charged for the call.
