I dont know how to update a app, or how to tell what I have as far as memory/software/ version(of what?) I know that I can not sync my 3gs 32g iphone. I know that most all my applications will not work on this version of ??? . I spend hours just trying to get on line,most the time I give up. I've had this thing for years ,I click chx for updates , most everytime it says "no internet".....I do know for how bad I feel inside, all the hours that I have spent on this thing with no closure that I would rather smash it into tiny pieces then sell it. I do not have money anymore..I am very smart at all sorts of differant things in life .I am not smart at understanding to basic function or opperations of computers , I am missing something, I am close ,but just can not wrap my mind around it.
I am reaching out for help, I have nothing to offer , Your reward would come from the Gods , And knowing that you helped another human being. Trust me if feels good to help teach others how to fish for themselves.
Thank you for taking the time.

Hay thank you for your time . I do that every time I know I am online. It says that I am up to date . I have found that I have 10.4.11 version, and that my boot version is 10.6.2, and that my kernel version is 8.11.1.
I have a hard drive icon on my desktop that says 10.6.2....
I use to have iphoto, it doesnt open anymore, it says there is 1.2gigs on that disk.There are many things on here that are the same way. Where do I start?
It's always good to go with one thing at a time and stay focused on that. Let's start with the OS you're running. Click on the Apple menu > About This Mac. What does it say under Mac OS X version ?

iPhone 4S is not charging. Upon connecting to macbook air, it gives the power surge alert. Please help.
What do you mean by "power surge alert"? What exactly does it say when you try to connect it? If you're talking about the message about a USB device drawing too much power, that can sometimes be caused by a bad cable or something stuck in the port. Do you have another cable you can try?

I have a 3rd generation wifi iPad and there is no sound in the device. Can someone please help?
I have a 3rd generation wifi iPad and there is no sound in the device. Can someone please help?
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

To solve some sound problems, just follow these simple steps
1. Go to Settings
2. Tap on General
3. Tap on Reset
4. Tap on Reset All Settings
What this effectively does is to reset some of your Settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It doesn’t affect your data. All of your email accounts will remain intact, as well as any SMS text or iMessages.

I need to download all of my photos from my iPhone 4S and my iPad 2 to my MacBook Air because there is no more storage space available. I want to make sure all my photos are not lost and that they do not return to the original devices because of the cloud. Can someone please help ?
Connect your devices to the computer with the USB cable (one device at a time) and import the photos via iPhoto or Image Capture.
If you have not changed any default settings on your computer, iPhoto will automatically launch when you plug in the device. Then follow the import prompts. -

Graphics card and power supply, can someone please help me?
Hello everyone so i bought the new game Dragon Age: Inquistion for my pc and the computer is only about 2 months old but the game is running slow so my graphics card isn't powerful enough and I can't figure out which graphic's card or power supply to get that will be compatible with my computer. From what i see i'm going to need both.

Product Number: F3D69AA
8 gb of ram
150mm x 140mm x 86mm (5.9 x 5.5 x 3.4 inches) power supply 300wat (which i want to upgrade)
This motherboard supports processors with the following Integrated Graphics:
Intel HD Graphics 4400 (GT2)
Intel HD Graphics 4600 (GT2)
Integrated Graphics is combined with the installed processor.
See the Processor upgrade information section of this document for detailed information.
One PCI Express x16 slot (Gen 3.0)
NOTE:Integrated video is not available if a graphics card is installed.
can someone please help me?
This question was solved.
View Solution.Hi,
I ran a simulator for the Dragon Age: Inquisition and the processor and memory in your HP 500-223w meet or exceed the recommended requirements. However, the video in your PC doesn't meet the recommended level even at 1024 by 768 resolution. The NVIDIA 750 would also not meet the recommended requirements even at 1024 by 768 resolution.
The power supply will need to be replaced to support a graphics card that will meet the recommended requirements.
The Corsair CX600 would be an excellent choice as it matches up the existing HP power supply dimensions. $65
The AMD R9 270 would exceed the recommeded requirements for Dragon Age: Inquisition. These are on sale from $100 and up. Do some measuring inside yiour PC. This Sapphire R9 270 model would be a good choice at $130 afer rebate

I wish to re attach my device to my iTunes account but I do not appear to have the manage devices option - someone please help
If you want to add it then you need to do one of the 3 things mentioned on that page e.g. use iTunes Match on your iPad, use automatic downloads on it, or redownload one of your past purchases. I think that the 'manage devices' section will only show when you have one or more devices/computers associated to your account, if you don't have any associated then it won't appear.

It's the Mac book air good for graphic design and video editing ?
I'm into graphic design for clothing logos etc. and I'm a photographer my question is, is the Mac book air good for these things?
ideally a 15" would be best for same, as referring to the 15" macbook Pro.
For a photographer, which I used to be long ago, either the Air or Pro are close in form factor for travel with only one moving part, and SSD.
The retina display in combination with the 15" would be idea as best choice for photo editing and graphic design.

I got the newest iPod and it has a messaging cube like on the iPhone and it will not let me send messages to my friends even with wifi. Please help me with my problem.
Is your device recognized by your computer? If yes, copy the pictures and videos as shown in this article:
Copying personal photos and videos from iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer
If it is not recognized, try this first: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Disable autosync in iTunes, right click on it in the device list and choose "transfer purchases" to copy apps and other media bought in iTunes to your new library.
Do the same again and choose "backup", to create a manual backup without syncing.
Since your device will be erased due to the new iTunes library during the first sync, you can use this backup afterwards to restore your settings and data.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer before you start, to be able to merge calendars and contacts. -
I am having MacBook Pro 3 yrs old and today while I was watching some movie on it suddenly it got power off and when I am trying to start it, it's power button is not working even the round button on external left side is not showing battery lights. But when I connect it to chrger then Charger only gives green light and even the external round button only shown 4 green lights (if charger connected). I don't know what to do now
Sounds like you need a #1SMC Reset
1. SMC reset
>>Instructions to reset SMC
Disconnect other non-Apple and external hardware except (if applicable) a mouse and keyboard until your finished repairing your machine.
Problems solved: Fans blowing with no activity, machine is not booting, power button pressed and nothing happens, problems with indicators, Magsafe has wrong lights, battery is not charging, monitor and graphics issues etc. If the battery is not charged (from like letting it sleep too long), let the Mac charge up awhile afterwards.
Will not hurt the machine resetting if it's not broken.
Other related hardware problems (optional):
Check battery status: Hold option/alt key down while clicking on the battery icon in the menu bar, top right corner.
Magsafe: Use the correct/matching power supply charger with your Mac, not a less powered one from another Mac.
Apple: Laptop won't power up Apple: Computer won't power up Troubleshooting optical drive

I need to run an update for iTunes but it won't run until I 'close' it. Could someone tell me how to do this? Just clicking on the red button
doesn't work. ThanksWhich are you working on, a Mac (which you state in your profile and would seem to be indicated by your reference to a "red button") or a Windows system (this being the iTunes for Windows forum) and what OS version are you running?
If you're running a Mac, clicking the red "close" button just closes the window; it does not quit the iTunes program. You have to actually use the Quit iTunes command.

please please please help me
Hello Youngdoby,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like the phone thinks it is still plugged into a dock connection but it is not.
I would first recommend, if you do have a dock connection, plug it in there and if it shows in iTunes eject it first, then unplug it. If it does not show in iTunes unplug it, and then reset the device with this process:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
That should get your iPhone working properly again.
Take care,
Sterling
