I have an old Mac OS X 10.6.8.

I have an old Mac OS X 10.6.8.  I got an email from my bank saying they no longer supported my browser and I need to update, but I don't know how to do that or what is safe to do without messing up my computer.  Any suggestions would be helpful.  Thank you.

TenFourFox will not run on a Mac that can run OS 10.6.8 (Intel-nased). You can use regular Firefox for that OS. It runs under 10.6 and is recognized as a supported browser by most major web sites:

    I have an old Mac G5 with OSX 10.5.8
    After a crash of my HD, I reinstalled the CS3.
    At the time of recording I get a window with the message "COMPLETED REGISTRATION" and under "There was a problem sending the informasioni via internet" and still under three choices to "send back" and "records in a second time "or" never record "and I continue to choose the latter option.
    Another problem is that in Bridge (version 2.0.0.975) I can no longer see thumbnails of RAW files from my Canon 40D that I saw before.
    Should I upgrade ACR? which is the latest version supported on my Mac?
    thank you

  • I have an old Mac Tower.  I need to move data from the unit to an external hard drive. What kind of hard drive do I purchase.  There is not a lot of data to be transferred.

    I have an old Mac Tower.  I need to move data from the unit to an external hard drive.  What kind of of hard drive must I purchase so that it works with the Tower?  There is not a lot to transfer.

    MG,
    What we might need to do is to change the question.  What computer do you plan to use the data on in the future?  For example, if you have a newer tower, just move the hard drive to the new tower.  If you want to use the data, what about an ethernet LAN to get the data over?  If you want to archive the data, how do you store the second drive?  What are your plans for the first drive?  If the new software will not recognize the old file type, the data must be exported.  Just getting files to another hard drive will not finish your journey.
    As Allan said, knowing the exact model and year of your tower is important.  My suggestion is to find a user group near you.  Please post back with more information, including the name of a large city near you.
    For example, our user group just experimented with a 1983 Apple IIc that predates the Mac.  It started right up, read files from 1984  and saved them from a 5.25" floppy to a 3.5" floppy.  That 3.5 floppy will go into a platinum G3 which will read PRODOS files using Apple File Exchange.  That G3, with a USB card, will allow saving the files to a USB flash drive.  But, somewhere along the way, some software has to read the file and convert it to data that is useable by current software.

  • Hi Everyone.  I have an old Mac Book.  I have saved a ton of emails in my inbox 'On My Mac'.  There are so many it is slowing down my computer.  Where do I find the folder with all the emails so I can cut and paste them to an external hard drive?Pls.help.

    Hi Everyone.  I have an old Mac Book with software updated to 10.6.8.  I have saved a ton of emails in my inbox 'On My Mac'.  There are so many it is slowing down my computer.  Where do I find the folder with all the emails so I can cut and paste them to an external hard drive? Pls.help.  Tks.

    Depending on which email client software you use
    the files should be in 'your home folder' library, esp.
    if you use Mail application.... ~/Library/Mail
    Since you don't specify what mail application,
    that would most be associated with the file.
    I notice there are some items to the right of your post
    where it says "more like this' so that may be worth a
    look to see if similar issues were answered. Also, the
    Help viewer in your system is a searchable database.
    Seems that google also brings up fair information, too.
    Do you have a complete bootable clone of your entire
    Mac system on an externally enclosed hard disk drive?
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • I have an old Mac with OS x 10.5.8 how do I upgrade to support Facetime

    I have an old Mac with OS X 10.5.8, can I upgrade to support FaceTime? Thanks

    KDam,
    Please allow me to make a suggestion -- I looked on the Skype site regarding system requirements for Osx.
    Accordingly, they list 10.5 as an acceptible operating system for their application.  In your case I would seriously consider Skype over FaceTime.  I don't think it's worth all the effort to go through the headaches such an upgrade can cause, just to be able to use FT.

  • I have an old Mac OS X 10.6.8. I want to upgrade to IOS.7 or higher, Can I install it in the old computer

    I have an old Mac Pro with Mac OS X  10.6.8. Can I upgrade to IOS 10.7 or higher in thei Old computer since I cannpt run the new Turbo Tax I just bought

    Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7. All Mac Pros(not MacBook Pros) can run at least 10.7.
    Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

    Yes.

    You would need to update your Mac OS.

  • I have an old mac book pro built in 2006. I just use it in the kitchen to go on the internet--which it does fairly well. It's running OS 10.6.8. Would it be risky to upgrade to the OS 10.7.4 Lion. Or should I leave well enough alone?

    I have an old mac book pro built in 2006. I just use it in the kitchen to go on the internet--which it does fairly well. It's running OS 10.6.8. Would it be risky to upgrade to the OS 10.7.4 Lion. Or should I leave well enough alone? I was hoping that the upgrade would allow me to use an old version of Kindle for Mac. I need to get the machine into 2012 functionality. If I can't do it, no worries.

    The very early 2006 MBPs are limited to Snow Leopard (10.6.8).  If your MBP is a model Identifier 2.1 or 2.2, then you can install Lion (10.7.5).  Note that the transition to Lion might mean that some applications will not be compatible so updates or substitutions would be needed.
    I have a 2006 MBP, Model Identifier 1.2, and it is running Snow Leopard very efficiently.  It is just a bit slower than newer ones, especially in the graphics area.  Otherwise is is a very good machine.
    Ciao.

  • I have an old Mac G4 that can only be upgraded to 10.4.11

    I have an old Mac G4 that  can only be upgraded to 10.4.11.  I use Itunes 7 and I  have a Classic Ipod that suddenly says it has been corrupted.  If  I  upgrade the software to 2.3 on the Ipod will i be able to access it from the G4 or  will I then have to upgrade  the itunes on the G4,  which I  cannot?  Does anyone have  any suggestions besides getting  a new computer?

    The highest release of a g4 is 10.5 -- leopard. If you meet the leopard requirements.

    I have an old Mac computer Powerbook G4 with Mac OS 10.5.8 and Safari 5.06 can I use Flash 11? Gly

    OS 10.5.8 was the LAST "Universal Binary" OS that Mac released. It could be run on PPC or Intel Macs.
    You can use Flash, but NOT the current version.   Flash Player 10.3.183.90  is the latest version that will run with 10.5.8.
    Apple ended all support for ALL PowerPC hardware and software just over four years ago, so there will be no further development of ANY apps that run with PowerPC Macs, from ANY developer.

    Do you have the disks that came with the old Mac?  If you do you can install the iApps from one of those disks.
    Otherwise, what Mac model do you have? Go the the  ➙ About This Mac menu and then click on More Information.  In the System Information under Hardware you'll find Model Name.  What is the model?  I'tll be something like Macbook 5,2.

  • HT1338 if I have an old mac with OS X, how can I update if Apple doesn't recognise that I need an update?!!

    if I have an old mac with OS X, how can I update if Apple doesn't recognise that I need an update?!!

    You need to buy an upgrade if one is compatible with your Mac model.
    PowerPC G3 Macs can only go to 10.4.11.
    PowerPC G4 and G5 Macs can only go to 10.5.8.
    Macs with a Core Solo or Core Duo CPU can only go to 10.6.8.
    Core 2 Duo and better Macs can go to 10.7.5 or 10.8.3 depending on their model. Upgrading to either requires going through 10.6.

  • How do I load music from my ipod to itunes on my new mac, I do not have my old mac?

    How do I load music from my ipod to itunes on my new mac, I do not have my old mac?

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss.  To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • I have an old Mac book pro which had hundreds of photos in iphoto. recently bought a new mac book air. now my iphoto library on the old mac book is gone!!!!

    I have an old Mac book pro which had hundreds of photos in iphoto. recently bought a new mac book air. now my iphoto library on the old mac book is gone!!!!

    now my iphoto library on the old mac book is gone!!!!
    How did you search for the iPhoto Library?
    What do you mean by "is gone"?  Is the iPhoto Library missing from the Pictures folder?  Or does iPhoto launch and show and empty library, and you assume, that the library is missing?
    Which version of iPhoto is installed on your old Mac?
    Search with Find Any File for iPhoto Libraries -  download Find Any File here: The trial is free:
    http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/index.htmlhttp://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/index.php
    You can search everywhere with FindAnyFile, where Spotlight will not search. 
    I learned this  from Old Toad , see his post here:
    Re: My iPhoto Library disappeared...how do I get it back?
    Download and run Find Any File to search for a file with "ThumbJPGSegment" in the file name. These are files common to all versions of  iPhoto libraries.
    FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, system folders and packages. If there's a library hiding somewhere on your hard drive FAF will find it.
