HT1338 my mac uses OSx 10.6.8.  when i run the software update, it does not show 10.8.2.  I need icloud i the latest version

i'm trying to update from OS X 10.6.8.  when I run the sofware update nothing shows up.  I need iCloud. 

Make sure your system meets the requirements for Mountain Lion:
Mac OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion" System Requirements
To install Mountain Lion, you need one of these Macs:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
               Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (RAM)
8 GB or more of available hard disk space
If your system does not support Mountain Lion's requirements, you may be able to upgrade to Lion. To do that you must call Apple again to order a download code. Redeem the download code in the App Store to download Lion. 
Make sure your system meets the requirements for Lion:
Mac OS X 10.7 "Lion" System Requirements
Mac with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon CPU
               Core Duo CPUs are not sufficient for Lion
2GB of memory (RAM)
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
To determine which Mac you have, what kind of CPU it uses, and how much memory is installed:  > About this Mac
 The specified 2 GB minimum is barely adequate for either Lion or ML. They will run in 2 GB but you may not like its performance. 4 GB is a more realistic minimum.

    I have found a fix after doing additional research through this forum. Tech Note #328730 addresses this problem and it works for Photoshop Album 3.2 even though it was written for release 1.0.
    Here is a link that will take you directly to the Tech Note:
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=328730
    When using this fix the Tech Note indicates:
    "Imported image data and tags are lost when you re-create the My Catalog.psa file, so you need to reimport images and reapply any tags"
    however it did retain the captions (at least it did for me).

    My IPad 2, IPhone 3GS ans iPod  no longer work with apple TV, I have 2 apple TV in my house and for he last 3 weeks the iPod was the only one we could use for appleTV now none of them works, the apple TV icon does not show up any more. Re-started everything.

    Ok thank you so much, for your timely response.
    RESPONSES:
    1)   When I set up my iMac, I did not transfer any data directly from my windows PC.  I simply used the same iTunes login and account.  I have access to all of the files via the "Purchased" section of the iTunes store.  If I click "Download Previous Purchases"  text, I can download ALL of the purchases I have ever made.
    2)   I have the Apple TV 2, so good news, question answered.  I thought maybe it was the Apple TV 1, but it is the Black model, so bam.  Good response for you.  Well the whole damned reply is an awesome response, just pointing out that one piece of awesome.  I stated that it was an Apple TV 2, and yet you were still good enough to figure I could be mistaken, and provide me with knowleedge just incase.
    QUESTIONS:
    3)   So can my iMac not stream the data directly from itunes, without download?  Apple TV can, but perhaps that is something among many things that maker it unique, and awesome.
    SERIOUSLY.... THANK YOU... 
    I work in the computer support section for the Military.  The only problem is we use Windows , lol.  Well that and i've been gone for nearly 6 months on recover.  I go back next month though I hope.  But working in that field gives me the abilty to judge responses that run inside the same vein.  Your response was so awesome that I half thought I might have written it myself.

  • Mac OS X Lion Software Update service does not reflect 10.7.1 update

    Hi all,
    I recently upgraded my Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard server to 10.7.
    Everything went ok, and the server tools are installed and working.
    Last week, Apple released the 10.7.1 update, but this update is not reflected in the Lion Server's Software Update service.
    Every time I start the catalog sync (either in the Server Admin app, or through Terminal), the sync process completes correctly without any errors, but the latest 10.7.1 update is not listed in the available updates.
    Did I miss something there ?
    Thanks in advance for your help,

    Additional info:
    I followed KBase art HT4771, and made the following changes:
    1. Stopped the Software Update Service and quit Server Admin app
    2. Updated /etc/swupd/swupd.plist to begin hosting OS X Lion software updates by typing the following Terminal command:
    sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'add :otherCatalogs:2 string index-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog' /etc/swupd/swupd.plist
    3. Updated /etc/swupd/swupd.conf to allow OS X Lion computers to receive updates as follows:
         "RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} Darwin/11
         RewriteRule ^/index\.sucatalog$ /index-leopard-snowleopard.merged-1.sucatalog"
    became
         "RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} Darwin/11
         RewriteRule ^/index\.sucatalog$ /index-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog"
    After completing this and restarted the Software Update Service, the Server's Software Update Service could find all updates, including Mac OS X 10.7.1 and more Lion updates (Multi-lingual voices, Server Essentials, ... ).
    The issue is now that the client computers cannot find the Software Update server, though it is properly connected, regardless the selected catalog in /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.
    I am now considering to erase all updates from server, delete all config files, and restart service from scratch.
    Any other idea before I start the big deletion ?

  • Numbers for Mac does not show all stored Numbers files in iCloud that are already in use on iPhone and ipad

    I have been using Numbers on both iPhone and iPad for a while and have about 8 files stored on iCloud. I have just purchased Numbers for Mac but I do not see any of my files stored in iCloud. I have created a test spreadsheet on my Mac which says it is stored on iCloud when I choose File - Open on my Mac but this test file does not appear on Numbers on iPhone or iPad.

    I have tried all what you have suggested but still no luck. I am unable to locate the file Mobile Documents in either the Library folder under Mac HD or Mac HD - System - Library.
    If you've set up iCloud properly on the Mac then in your Library there will be a Mobile Documents folder with documents in it:
    Everything else syncs absolutley fine such as contacts, mail, notes, pictures etc etc.
    Contacts, Mail, etc. sync via another iCloud protocol. For Numbers you need 'Documents & Data' turned on, per the screenshot upthread.
    Numbers appears twice under iCloud for some reason though -
    Numbers doesn't appear "under iCloud".  Numbers uses iCloud to sync. Not sure what your screenshot is showing. On the Mac your Numbers will be here (in Finder):

  • My mac has osx 10.6.8 but when i run a software update to ios it says it is up to date

    my mac osx has 10.6.8 then irun the ios update and it says i am current

    If you associate the "iOS 5 update" with the OSX Lion 10.7.2 update then you have to buy OSX Lion from the Mac App Store.
    OSX Lion is a paid upgrade (not update) for USD 29

  • My iphone 4s will not sync on my mac; I'm running 10.4.11 and I do not have the intel processor; iphone does not show up as a device

    My iphone 4s will not snyc on my mac at home; I'm running 10.4.11 and do not have the intel processor; on my work computer  my iphone is recognized as a device in itunes, but my music library can only be located on my older mac at home.

    The iPhone REQUIRES OS X 10.5.8 or higher. This is clearly stated in the documentation and on the web site. There is no magic that will make it work with 10.4.x.

  • I have a mac os x 10.5.8 but I want to upgrade my mac to 10.6 but in the software update it doesn't show it

    i need help please post some answers

    I really don't need to say more than what Niell has stated but just to explain it a little further, Snow Leopard is a new Mac OS for your Mac - not a software update from Leopard 10.5.8. That is why you will not see it as an update. It is an upgrade.
    Software update does exactly that - it searches and finds updates for the software on your Mac. It will not find new software upgrade for you.
