What Mac OS version are you running? At the top of your screen click on the  icon and select About this Mac. What version does it say?

I cannot view some videos and participate in some websites since Adobe upgraded all to Flash 11.7. I have an older Mac G5 PowerPC (no Intel chip) running OS 10.5.8. I keep getting splash screens saying I have to update to Flash 11.7 but 11.7 is made for those Macs with an Intel chip. I am running the newest Flash for my system. It seems all concerned should have made Flash retro-compatible for those of us with older Macs. Is there a work around to this Flash requirement short of buying a new Mac with the Intel chip?

I'll bet you'll have better luck if you post your question in the Power Mac discussions here: https://discussions.apple.com/community/desktop_computers/power_mac
Either that, or one of the forums at Adobe.
Good luck.

HT1338 I have an older Mac using 10.5.8 and need to upgrade the software so I can run the latest Itunes which requires 10.6.8. My new iphone 5 needs this to load music.

? How do I upgrade my older MAC from 10.5.8 to a minimum of 10.6.8 in order to load the current iTunes software that is required for the new iphone 5?

Click here, buy and install the DVD, and then run Software Update.

Hello All, I have an older MAC and currently have iPhoto 09, version 8.1.2. Every time iPhoto is opened I get a message about a upgrade to a newer version of iPhoto, but when I select the link, it takes me to the Apple website and says the page I'm look

Hello All,
I'm Gene. I have an older MAC desktop and am running iPhoto 09, version8.1.2 (424). Each time I connect my iphone to my MAC I get a message that there is a newer version of iPhoto, but when I select the link, I am taken to the Apple webpage and get a message that the page I'm looking for is not available. All I would like to do is upgrade my iPhoto. Do I need to upgrade to the latest version of iWork, and if so, what version and how would I do that? Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks

The iPhoto version that is currently available at the App Store os 9.5.1 and requires the Mavericks OS X. The early 2008 24" iMac can run Mavericks. Once you have Mavericks installed (it's free) you can purchase iPhoto 9.5.1 from the App Store.
If you don't want to upgrade to Mavericks you can purchase a copy of the iLife 11 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com and install iPhoto 9. Then up trade it to 9.4.3 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads website: Apple - Support - Search

I have an older mac and it wants me to update to itunes 10 but my mac is too old and I cant figure out how to disable the update

I have an older mac and it wants me to update to itunes 10 but my mac is too old and I cant figure out how to disable the update so I can use the store.

If Software Update is offering the update then it would be compatible with your model. Unfortunately, you haven't provided us with any information on your hardware that would enable us to determine if it really is too old.
If you really wish to disable the update alert then the next time Software Update opens, select the update in the list then select "Ignore update" from SU's Update menu.

HT204350 I have an older Mac 07 that needs to be updated the apple store left our town, I've been trying to do free down load but not working any advice?

Hi, I have a older Mac early 07 I think, I'm trying to update it online since our apple store closed in our town. Can anyone advise me on what I would need to do since the maverick free upgrade didn't seem to work. Is there an earlier program that I missed? I had gone thru a couple of brain surgeries so I might of missed some things. Thanks

First, have you confirmed that your Mac is compatible with Mavericks? Here are the compatible models:
•     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)
so an early 2007 Mac of any type would not be compatible. If you'll run the System Profiler app (in the Applications/Utilties folder) and tell us what is says for the Model Identifier in the Hardware Overview, we can confirm what model of Mac you have.
Regards.

I have an older Mac Pro (2006). I want to install Boot Camp and Windows. I have installrg a purchased Snow Leapord on the machine. To install Windows, am I limited to Windows 7? And where are the Windows 7/Boot Camp Drivers? On the OS disk? Download? Tha

I have an older Mac Pro (2006). I want to install Boot Camp and Windows. I have installed a boxed Snow Leapord on the machine. And it says the download of the Boot camp drivers cannot continue because they are not available. But at that point I have not inserted a windows disk, so how does it know i have XP?
So it appears I am limited to Windows 7? And where are the Windows 7/Boot Camp Drivers? On the OS disk?
Finally, since I have necer considered Windows 7 before, I assume there are no compatability issues with mainstream applications that were running in XP?
Thank you.

You're welcome
Just remember to reformat the partition (bootcamp partition) to NTFS with the windows installer, ensure to pick the correct partition.

I have a 4s iPhone which I loaded the new Os on last night. Now I can not connect to iTunes. A message comes up saying i need 10.6.3 or later but I am running 10.6.1 as I have an older Mac. Anyone have ideas how to get this to work?

Its not telling you to update your iPad, its telling you you need to download a recent version itunes on your computer.
Go here to download the newest version of iTunes.

This article says you can keep using your email with devices that don't support iCloud: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4929?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
I don't know what the required email settings are, though.

I cant select buy on itunes! why?

You would need to update v10.6.8 in order to install the latest version of iTunes as noted here > Apple - iTunes
See if your Mac can run v10.6 Snow Leopard > Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard - Technical Specifications
v10.4.11 is an oudated Mac OS X.

I have an older mac with iPhoto (mac OS X software). I have thousands of pictures on iphoto. I wanted to put them on iCloud since the computer is getting old and could go any day now but it says I can use MobileMe but nothing about iCloud or anything like it. I want to have my pictures on icloud or some sort of online thing so that I can never lose them but I don't know how to get them from iPhoto on to anything like that. Help! And thanks in advance.

Do you have the original gray system disks that came with the computer, or a full retail install disk set for 10.5? If so, you can use a utiltiy:

to extract just Image Capture from the disk and install it. Otherwise, you would have to reinstall the entire OS

Without a disc, I'd create a new administrator id and delete the old id. Erase any folders you might have created outside your home folder. Use disk utility to erase free space. One pass should be good enough for a home computer.

Is there a resource where I can see if my older versions of applications will work after upgrading to 10.8 from 10.6.8? I have some older Mac apps as well as things like Microsoft word and Adobe professional.

Is there a resource where I can see if my older versions of applications will work after upgrading to 10.8 from 10.6.8? I have some older Mac apps as well as things like Microsoft word and Adobe professional. I know PowerPC apps won't work, but I can't tell by the version numbers if they are PPC or Intel.
