How do I update my FaceTime for Mac software?

I haven't used FaceTime on my Mac with FaceTime on my iPad in a while. Now I find that the connection fails immediately every time.
The Mac is running 10.6.8, which per a document Apple has been circulating addressing this problem, suffices.
However, per the same document, the FaceTime on the Mac is not up to par. It is 1.0.2 rather than 1.0.5.
My question is, how do I update the FaceTime software? I already have the feature that lets me know when software needs updating and it hasn't come up. I also tried running that manually, but nothing came up. I also see no way to update the software from within FaceTime.
Could this also mean that the FaceTime software on my iPad is out-of-date? I don't even know where to find what version it is running...please let me know. Also, my iPad is running iOS 7.1.2, which I believe would suffice.

I'm suspecting he tried to download the file in the OSX store as I did. When I tried it, it wouldn't let me download it as I currently have it installed from a non-app store location and it won't let me download it. I presume I have to delete my current copy before downloading it.
Do you know if it works as promised?

How do I Update Photoshop CS for Mac OS 10.9?

I'd like to continue to use my old Photoshop CS (circa 2003) on my Macbook Pro (mid 2009). I just upgraded to OS 10.9.2.
Now, trying to open Photoshop brings up this error message:
You can't open the application "Adobe Photoshop CS" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
Do I need to run a series of upgrades? If so, what order do I run them in, and where do I get them?
Thank you so much for your help,
Joshua

Older Macs used PowerPC (PPC) processors.
Modern Macs use Intel processors.
Older software (such as Photoshop CS) written for PowerPC will not run on modern Intel-based Macs. There are no upgrades or updates to make it run on Intel. The code has to be re-written from scratch.

How do i update my browser for mac 0s2 9.2.2

i need help bad! i have a mac g4 - version os9.2.2 that i was given. i just got internet service on it-verizon dsl and it is not working properly. the techs at verizon said that i needed to update my browser, but i am not sure what that means. they said i need to update it to 10.2 version. i called apple but they will not support me because of the age of the computor. what would be the upgrade that i should get and where can i get it for the cheapest cost? apple said to search on line but i cannot navigate these sites well.
any suggestions on a minimal upgrade and a place to purchase???

Hello Kithy,
OS9 and Internet Explorer will work just fine with Verizon's DSL; they may not be officially supported, and you may have gotten a techie unfamiliar with Macs or OS9. You should have the latest upgrade of IE which is 5.1.7 although the original install which I think is 4.5 should work. I just installed from an OS9 CD last night and I checked to see before I upgraded. You may have to search these posts or Google to find the download link for the latest version; it's no longer available from Microsoft.
I suspect you may be having other troubles installing.
iCab should work, too, and - although I don't use Mozilla myself - if Tom says it works you may take it to the bank.
If you decide to go to OSX (which I find more capable but less user-friendly), avoid 10.2 (Jaguar) and get either 10.3 (Panther)(my favourite) or 10.4 (Tiger). I got my copy of Panther from http://Applerescue.com for $59.
In my experience, OSX browsers Safari, IE, and Firefox all work well, although there are some differences.
Good luck ..... Jon

I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

Looks like Apple did the same thing with Lion that Microsoft did with Vista. Brought it on the market before it was ready.
I run a MacBook Pro and upgrading to Lion caused me two days of trouble and computer crash. Router settings removed and router blocked. Dongle not recognised, you name it.
In the end, I gave up and using my Snow Leopard installation disk and a Time Machine Backup finally got my computer up and running again. Thanks to Lion, I think I'll stay with OS X 10.6.8 at least it's reliable.

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!

Sarah2565 wrote:

Yes. Always keep the default settings unless you have a specific reason not to.
If you are a heavy user of Java programs or applets, you may need to clear the cache files after Java updates because the old caches may interfere.

Software update 14 Java for Mac 10.6.8 gave me 27 permissions errorsI found 29 permissions errors.Disk Utility and Onyx cannot repair.

first time I contact Apple Support Communities
I have re-installed Snow Leopard on a MacBook Pro(permissions = ok) and each Software update proposed by Apple.
After each software update installation, I have checked the permissions being ok.
But after install update 14 Java for Mac OS X 10.6.8 (proposed by Apple), I found 27 permissions errors. Disk Utility as well as Onyx cannot repair. (in fact they repair and if you check again you still have those 27 permissions errors)
It concern mainly System/library/Java/Java Virtual Machine + System/Library/Framewoks/JavaVM.Framework and System/Library/Java/Support/Deploy.Bundle
Do you have an idea how to get rid of those 27 permissions errors.
Thanks in advance

As long as the report ends up with 'Permissions repair complete' then, as far as permissions go, you are fine. You can ignore the various statements in the report:
Permissions you can ignore on 10.5 onwards:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
Using 'should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r--' as an example, you will see the that the permissions are not changed, but the | indicates a different location. This is because an update to Leopard onwards changed the location of a number of system components.
Poster rccharles has provided this description of what it all means:

What updates are available for Mac OS X 10.5.8 (9L30)?

What updates are available for Mac OS X 10.5.8 (9L30)?

Before embarking on a major OS upgrade, it would be wise, advisable and very prudent if you backup your current system to an external connected and Mac formatted Flash drive OR externally connected USB, Thunderbolt or FireWire 800, Mac formatted hard drive. Then, use either OS X Time Machine app to backup your entire system to the external drive OR purchase, install and use a data cloning app, like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper, to make an exact and bootable copy (clone) of your entire Mac's internal hard drive. This step is really needed in case something goes wrong with the install of the new OS or you simply do not like the new OS, you have a very easy way/procedure to return your Mac to its former working state.
Then, determine if your Mac meets ALL minimum system install requirements.
Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard system requirements
Purchased Installer disc here.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
To install Snow Leopard for the first time, you must have a Mac with:
An Intel processor
An internal or external DVD drive, or DVD or CD Sharing
At least 1 GB of RAM (additional RAM is recommended)
A built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
At least 5 GB of disk space available, or 7 GB of disk space if you install the developer tools
Installing and updating OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard to OS X 10.6.8 gives your Mac access to the Mac App Store where you can decide which version of OS X to upgrade to, again, if you desire.
OS X Lion system requirements
Purchased emailed download code here.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
To use Lion, make sure your computer has the following:
An Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
Mac OS X v10.6.6 or later to install via the Mac App Store (v10.6.8 recommended)
7 GB of available disk space
2 GB of RAM
To install OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion or OS X 10.10 Yosemite.you need one of these Macs:
OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion purchased emailed download code here.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6377Z/A/os-x-mountain-lion
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)

MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Your Mac also needs:
OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
2 GB or more of memory (I strongly advise, at least, 4 GBs of RAM or more)
8 GB or more of available space.
Your year and model Mac can take a total of 6 GBs of RAM, max..
I strongly suggest you install the max. RAM your Mac can take.
Correct, compatible and reliable Mac RAM can ONLY be purchased from online RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (macsales.com).
OWC is the only source for the 6 GB RAM kit.
Next,
If you run any older Mac software from the earlier PowerPC Macs, then none of this software will work with the newer OS X versions (10.7 and onward). OS X Snow Leopard had a magical and invisible PowerPC emulation application, called Rosetta, that worked seamlessly in the background that still allowed older PowerPC coded software to still operate in a Intel CPU Mac.
The use of Rosetta ended with OS X Snow Leopard as the Rosetta application was licensed to Apple, from a software company called Transitive, which got bought out, I believe, by IBM and Appe could no longer secure their rights to continue to use Rosetta in later versions of OS X.
So, you would need to check to see if you have software on your Mac that maybe older than, say, 2006 or older.
Also, check for app compatibilty here.
http://roaringapps.com/
If you have any commercial antivirus installed and/or hard drive cleaning apps installed on your Mac, like MacKeeper, CleanMyMac, TuneUpMyMac, MacCleanse, etc. now would be a good time to completely uninstall this apps by doing a Google search to learn how to properly uninstall these types of apps.
These types of apps will only cause your Mac issues later after the install of the new OS X version and you will have to completely uninstall these types of apps later.
Once you have determined all of this, you should be able to find the latest versions of OS X by clicking on the Mac App Store icon in the OS X Dock and then login to the Mac App Store using your Apple ID and password and using the appropriate download codes need
You can then begin the download and installation process of installing your desired versions of OS X from the Mac App Store.

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".

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...

How do I update my FaceTime for Mac software?
