    The message by means of the intention of pops up regarding it necessitate a security update (2010-005) is inaccurate and has no bearing on the install. It be supposed to read "Unsupported OS". Folks, it's stated extremely clearly by means of the intention of merely OS 10.6.4 and above is sustained or maintained for Facetime. Ran in to the similar problem. It does not surprise me by means of the intention of it's related to "unsupported OS", it immediately would encompass been nice to have by means of the intention of evidently stated in the keynote. I was predictable it to be for merely 10.6, other than when it was not mentioned, the "maybe" crept in. I have comprised and endeavor downloading the Facetime .DMG in together Firefox and Safari and when hitting it off the button, the page basically refreshes.
