I have Mac OS 10.6.8 and get "An internal FaceTime error occurred".

Is there a fix in the works. Apple says click only once on icon but this is to no avail for me. Would REALLY like to use facetime on my MacBook without having to go into the root directory to modify something that should already be modified in the program's release. Does anyone have THE official answer for a fix? Is this one of those things I for which I need to call Apple and pay for the tech support to get it to work, or does it just not work on OS 10.6.8?
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Tia to all who respond and have a GREAT evening evryone!

This error message could result from an incorrect setting for date and time, or an operating system which does not have the latest updates installed. It's a good idea to have your location setting on automatic. Turn on the wi fi in your mac for a minute or so, to allow it to automatically search for your present location. Do this even though you have the correct time Date settings displayed.

If your webcam is powered by USB, make sure it is attached directly to your Mac and not a USB hub. In my case, I had my Rocketfish webcam attached to a peripheral USB hub and it wasn't drawing enough power to operate at capacity. Therefore, Facetime was quitting on me and giving me that exact error message. Once I attached the webcam directly to my Mac USB port, problem solved. Hope that helps.

I can't start Facetime. Keep getting a pop-up window saying that "an internal FaceTime error occured. There was a problem with FaceTime. You need to quit and open FaceTime again". I keep retrying to open and keep getting the same message over again.

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa

HT204408 Internal FaceTime error occurred. How can I fix and run FaceTime on my MacBook running 10.6.8

How can I fix face to run on my MacBook running 10.6.8. The error is "internal face error occurred.

I was getting the same error, and I could not find the file to copy that others had mentioned. However, I found a fix that works for me. I did a "control + click" on the facetime icon in the dock, selected "options" then "remove from dock". Once it was gone, I opened "launchpad" opened Facetime from launchpad, then when the icon was in the dock I did another "control + click", "options" and then "keep in dock". Now I have no problem opening it. Hope this helps someone else.

Well I solved my problem.
What still doesn't make sense though is that dragging iTune audio files directly on to the iTunes application icon gave me the error message... which is why I originally discounted it as being a potential link problem. If I had been able to get files to open normally (i.e. without an error message) I would have known it was a simple link problem. Strange.
Anyway... relinking my folder of audio files did the trick.
If you don't already know how here are the steps...
iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > click on the "Change" button and browse to the folder that contains all of your iTunes audio files... that's it.

I have a Windows 7 64bit PC and get a Code 52 error when iPad is connected

Initially my iPad 2 sucessfully loaded a Driver when connected but was not visible in iTunes. I then followed technical support instructions and loaded the Apple Driver (64bit) and now get the following error message and a failure of the device to successfully load:-
"Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)"
Any suggestions?

if itunes will not run, you probably have mangled windows badly
one feature of windows 8 is the refresh that saves libraries,
because you are using windows 7, you will need to backup all files to another storage device

I am trying to get to a website I go to daily and get the message: "An error occured with the SQL server This is not a problem with the IP Board but rather your SQL server." I have no idea what this error is or what to do about it.

I have tried clearing everything, rebooting, I just do not know what this actual error is. I was on the website, went back about 30 minutes later and that message. No other websites are bringing up this error.

If FCP captures the footage then capture with FCP and import the files into Premiere. Just a few extra clicks.
Or read this:
Cannot start DV or HDV video capture in Premiere Pro CS4 or later

You are welcome, ameronweb.
To elaborate a bit, you may come across offers of a new/unopened/unregistered version, which is the simplest case (you would need a guarantee). Other cases require much detailed information (and a guarantee).
If upgrading to 10.6.8 or higher is an option, you could use CS6.

If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop

* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
