Possibly re-install FaceTime on Lion?
Hello
I have been using Facetime since it cam built-in my MacBook the time I bought it. Lately, I have experienced problems with it; so I decided to re-install it. I used AppZapper to remove it. And now I realized I did a mistake! Because the AppStore version will not work for me since it is meant to be used by Snow Leopard users. I searched the web for a Lion version but I could not find it! What shall I do? and I'm not willing to re-install the whole system for the sake of a single application. Can you please help? Possibly give me a link to a Lion version of FaceTime? Or maybe upload your own?
Thank you,
Faisal
There is no app. Settings>Phone>FaceTime>On.

How to install FaceTime in Lion
I deleted facetime in Lion and now I can't install it again from the app store! what can I do?
I backup all my app I purchased to a zip into my dropbox, afraid that I might lost them as I did with my Itune app purchase in the past.
I did the following:
1. Delete all trace of facetime using appcleaner just to find out that ichat is hook up with some of the facetime.plist. So I did a "secure empty trash" that took a while to remove everything from the trash.
then redownload the facetime app only to find out my Mac OS X is to new.
2. I pull the back up Facetime App out of the dropbox 1.0.2 and put in the application folder only to find it wont find the camera and wont update because the version of Mac OS X is too new.
3. I try updating the key as said in some forum. adding the V1 in facetime registration and account. and try downloading it from app store it still doesn't work.
4. I will try changing the host file which some people was talking about but I dont know where to find it.
Now i feel like it a bit early to download Lion since they haven't update all their app for it, I shouldn't be frustrated. -
I have an iPhone 4S bought from Saudi Arabia. It does not have Facetime on it. Atleast I can't find it in the settings and I am not able to make Facetime calls from it. Is it possible to install Facetime on it?
I thought Facetime was an iOS feature. How is it possible not to have it on my phone?vr2much4i wrote:

It is.

Because it is banned, by the government, on all iPhones sold in Saudi Arabia. If you wanted FaceTime, you should not have purchased an iPhone there. And no, there is no way to add it to your phone now. -
After install of Mountain Lion I have no facetime. It is nowhere in hd and ap store will not allow download.
Will I need to re-instal ML in order to get it back?Where are you, geographically?
I might suggest:
Give this a try:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
After this is completed download and install 10.8.4 Mountain Lion Update v10.8.4 (Combo).
If this doesn't work, then reinstall Mountain Lion:

Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.

Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless. -
Is it possible to install Mountain Lion on a Macbook Pro 2,1

I have a 15" MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion installed. I have partitioned the hard drive into two partitions. Is it possible to install Snow Leopard on the second partition? If so how do I do it?
If your MacBook Pro had Snow Leopard on it at one time then sure. (Early 2011 or earlier)
How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
Obviously choose the second partition to install into. It has to be OS X Extended journaled formatted in Disk Utility (BootCamp software makes it a MSDOS/FAT32 formatted partition if you used that to partition with)
If it's a Early 2011 or Late 2011 that came with 10.7, it's possible, but it's not easy.

Is it possible to install Lion on the second hard disk on my Mini (2010) Snow Leopard Server, and switch between Lion and Snow Leopard? I like those voices Lion has in speech.
When baltwosaid NO emphatically, that was described as CORRECT ANSWER. Ditto in the caeses of the radically different answers from Camelotand Matt Clifton
Could it be that CORRECT ANSWER needs better defining by Apple?
That apart, yes, switching might involve rebooting. About the voices, well, I was the other day adding voice to a commentary in a video I was working on. There's only American English accent in SL — Lion I believe has British ones as well.
Why not, I wondered, try to install Lion purely for academic interest, maybe with an SD card (Sandisk Ultra II, 16GB) as Tom Nelson says is possible at http://macs.about.com/od/macoperatingsystems/ss/Perform-A-Clean-Install-Of-Os-X- Lion-On-Your-Mac.htm -

Can I possibly install FaceTime on my iPad air that bought from UAE here at my present location Philippines?
It's too late for to realize that what I bought from Apple UAE does not have installed FaceTime application. Since I am already now in my home country Philippines, Could I possibly download it (FaceTime) here in my present location Philippines?FaceTime was by demand of the UAE government blocked in the iPad's hardware. As stedman said, there's no way you can activate FaceTime now.

I have a mac pro 1,1. I would like to know if its possible for me to upgrade the parts to where i can install osx mountain lion, or osx mavericks? I am currently adding more ram so it will have 32gb of ram, i have 2 250gb HDD but adding a 250gb SSD , and have a ATI Radeon HD 4870 512mb that i will most likely upgrade to an ATi Radeon HD 5570 1gb.
The SSD will boot fast, but the real change is launching 10 programs in 10 seconds and being able to use them. (20 seconds for a few big suites).
I would not add or upgrade to 32GB RAM. You can get 8 x 2GB for $100 on Amazon.
Those 250GB HDD are "old" and slow and overdue to be replaced, reformat and use t o backup the system.
Samsung 250GB SSD is down to $150 or so on Amazon also.
The 5770 is gone, hard to find, EOL and over charged for when you do find one.
you could look into how to use a PC 6870 or others.
Or, you could hold out and wait for a refresh of Mac-Mini which can be just as fast or faster and run Mavericks. -
Is it possible to install windows 7 on my macbook from a removable hard drive using boot camp?
How would I do this?If you have Lion installed, and run Boot Camp, it will create the boot flash for you, just followe the tutorial on screen. As far as I remember, this was not possible prior to Lion.

I am wondering if it is possible to install and run Windows Server 2008 on a Mac Mini Server as a VM as my main application uses Windows VisualBasic and Fox Pro and requires a Static IP to connect to it, My other offices connects to Windows Server via RDP.
Basically I am researching a Server for the same purpose and since Mac Mini and OsX both are robust in nature it can fit the bill if every thing work fine.

If I will install OS X Lion on the same partition that the Snow Leopard is I will loose all of my data?
One can't guarantee no data loss. See my backup FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
All else being equal, it will upgrade you to 10.7, but applications and drivers may need to be updated too. See my other FAQ* for other possible pitfalls:

How to download but not install OSX Mountain Lion on Mavericks
Hi all
I would like to download but not install OSX Mountain Lion on my MBP which is currently running OSX Mavericks.
This however seems impossible. I think OSX Mavericks were already installed on my MBP and therefore it seems "impossible" to download it.
Now, why would I to do this? The answer is quite reasonable, due to certain demands related to an application portfolio I need Mountain Lion, because the portfolio is not upgraded to run on Mavericks. And, it is more reasonable to downgrade a version of OSX, rather waiting for the portfolio upgrade which can take years.
Yes, I need to downgrade my secondary MBP which also came with preinstalled Mavericks. This can be done, if I only could download but not install Moutain Lion.
It should be easy enough; download Mountain Lion, make an installer and make a bootable thumb usb stick. Then erase Mavericks and install Mountain Lion.
I have previously bought Mountain Lion so it is accessible to me in the App Store, but whenever I try to hit the Download button, I get a message saying this can't be done, since I am running Mavericks.
This bugs me, it should be obvious users needs the flexibility to swap whatever OSX version they need. It is still software.
So, how can I download but not install Mountain Lion on my newer MBP that came with preinstalled Mavericks?
I would like to see answers like:
"In order to get this to work, you first have to disable the locking mechanism in [...] " instead of "No, this is impossible to do"
RegardsThanks for your reply Eric
Can't help wondering thought, people are ok with this?
Basically Apple are saying: "Do not attempt to install an older version of OSX which came preinstalled. If so, expect multiple failures." Really?! Has it always been so? For me it's not like I'm going to install Snow Leopard on my Late 2013 Retina MBP, but I would expect some form of backward compatibility between the previous version and it successor. Apparently this is not possible, and how is this even acceptable?
Personally, I am not going to downgrade, as if I had a choice, but I would and I expected however, the possibility to at least download the previous OSX version. What do you do if you have bought several applications, not necessarily online from App Store and buy yourself a new Mac with preinstalled Mavericks and after installing your "old" applications they fail to work properly? What do you do since downgrading apparently is not an option. So... again, what do you do?
If you don't have friends with an older Mac, you could be facing serious problems. And I'm not talking about gaming, but serious business.
I find this quite disturbing actually, and please tell me it's not so. There gotta be a way to do this?
I simply want to download the OS but I expect some registry values (like windows' registry) keeps preventing this.
It should be possible to simply download and not download and install in one operation, shouldn't it?
Regards
