I have an older G5 tower Power PC and the OS 10.5.8, but the firefox and safari browers are no longer supporting this computer. How can I download an older version that works with this computer?
Or what is the newest OS system I can load onto this computer?
I think it is from 2006

Hello,
10.5.8 is the highest OSX it can run.
TenFourFox is the most up to date browser for our PPCs, they even have G4 & G5 optimized versions...

I'd avoid vesrion 24 though, as it no longer supports plug-ins like Flash.
SeaMonkey seems pretty fast also, with many options...

Might also look into iCab & OmniWeb versions.

HT204655 How can I get an Aperture version that works with 10.10.3?

Photos seems to be a minimal improvement to iPhotos and a terribly inadequate replacement for Aperture. Aperture is working with 10.10.2 on my new MAC, but when I installed 10.10.3 on my macbook, Aperture is crossed out. When I open it, I get a message "this version of Aperture does not work with OS X Yosemite". It also says I can get the correct version from the App store for free. when I look for Aperture on the App store it is not listed. What has Apple done?

I Called Apple and they walked me through the process of getting Aperture to work on OSX 10.10.3:
Find Aperture in your Applications folder then
Drag it to Trash and empty Trash (your Aperture library is not affected by this).
Restart your computer
Log on to App Store, and find your Purchases
locate The Aperture application.
It should show Install, and not Upgrade at this point.
click on that to download Aperture 3.6
instal that in your Applications folder.
Of course, this only works if you purchased Aperture from Apple, and registered it with them.
This is worked for me and I now have Aperture 3.6 running on Yosemite. The drawback here is that there is no further support will be offered for Aperture, so another alternative will eventually be required. I took advantage of an offer from Adobe, and downloaded Lightroom CC and Bridge CC (Creative Cloud). I already had Photoshop CC, but they bundled it all together for me at a very reasonable price. All these applications will use your Aperture and iPhoto libraries should you wish to import them into the application, so there will be no duplication of Libraries. Hope this helps you like it did me.
Thank you for posting your solution. I'm sure it will help others in the future.
You know, many people continue to use discontinued software for years without problems. There are millions of people out there still using iMovie HD 06 and iDVD because there is nothing better.

Downloaded latest version to Mac OS X 10.4.11, deleted previous version, now flag tells me 4.0 won't work on this Mac -- how can I download a previous version?

Received a prompt today to download the latest Firefox version, it proceeded as a normal download, asked if it should replace previous version, I selected "Yes", and...a flag telling me, a little tartly, that this version is incompatible with my operating system. Help!

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

How Can I choose Iphone 5s models that work with LTE in Brazil. The Iphone needs to Support Band 7. If I buy the wrong model can apple change it ?

I am planning to buy an Iphone 5s in October, but I have to make sure that the model will work with the LTE services we have in Brazil. I know that Apple made 2 Models that support Band 7. See Below.
Model A1457*: UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20)
Model A1530*: UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); FDD-LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20); TD-LTE (Bands 38, 39, 40)
How can I make sure I will buy the correct model through the internet ? Can Apple change the Iphone In case they send the model that does not support LTE services in Brazil ?
Thanks,

Have you personally tried those models with Brazilian LTE networks? Do they work? If so, fine. If not, then besides that, there is the problem of the warranty which is not international. The user will have to return the phone back to the country of purchase for both warranty and out of warranty service. So what might seem cheaper at first glance might not be in the end.
Anyways, it your money and the OP's should he want to go ahead with your recommendation.

Version 10 doesn't work with a web site I use constantly. How can I download a lower version and have the app appear on my phone?

Have been using a lower version of firefox on my samsung galaxy phone to access [email protected] for quite some time. Since the upgrade to 10.0, I receive a server error everytime I try to access. Want to download a lower version, but app doesn't appear on my phone. How can I download a lower version and get the app to show up on my phone?

Mandel is referring to what is called a "User Agent Faker' which tricks the website into thinking it is a different browser or version than it actually is. I sometimes would use this on my iPhone when I wanted to visit the full website of a site I was attempting to go to & it would only take me to the mobile version or state it was only compatible with say Internet Explorer, simply turn it on & select the browser and details you want it to report and it will spoof that browser & you'll be on your way.

Well Lion does not support power PC applications. They only way is to upgrade the application, or if your have SL disks, reinstall SL.

I have just bought a new Imac and it will not load my copy of FCE 3.5 as it says "PowerPC applications are no longer supported". So how do I get to use the version of FCE I am used to and have paid for ?

I do not have any experience with Final Cut, but if you have existing projects that you MUST access; then you are in need of a solution on your new iMac in Mountain Lion!
Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta. Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion). While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
Workarounds:
1. Purchase a used Mac that will run Snow Leopard (with the optional Rosetta installed) and continue to run FCE on that Mac (you can actually use Screen Sharing with a "headless" used Snow Leopard Mac Mini and use the 27" screen from your iMac to view and work FCE in the Mac Mini environment);
2. Upgrade to an Intel compatible version of FCE and hope it converts your existing projects to its newer format correctly. There is much debate that the newer version of Final Cut are eliminating many needed features; for example Final Cut Pro X vs. Final Cut Pro 6 -- many users are staying with version 6;
3. Install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels and then install FCE in the Snow Leopard environment:

Full Snow Leopard installation instructions here:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1365439
NOTE: STEP ONE of the instructions must currently be completed on a Snow Leopard or Lion Mac and the resulting modified Snow Leopard.cdr install file can then be moved over to your Mountain Lion Mac for completion of the remaining steps.
NOTE 2: Computer games with complex, 3D or fast motion graphics make not work well or at all in virtualization.

How can I download an older version of kindle for my iPad 1? Hellllpppp.

Arrrrrrrgh. How can I download an older ver of kindle for my iPad 1. It's not in my cloud (as I never used it before) and the current version needs ios6 to work. iPad 1 can only go to ios5... Same for iBooks .....

For iBooks try downloading the current version on your computer's iTunes so that the app is in your purchase history. Then on your iPad go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app and see if you can download an older compatible version of it.
You can also try similar for the Kindle app - I don't know whether Amazon have made older versions of their app available in the store, so it may not work for that. If not, then as a work-around you could use their cloud reader 'app' : http://read.amazon.com - go to that site on Safari on your iPad and then create a homescreen shortcut for it (kindle cloud reader help)

How can use my Wireless Location Appliance to work with RF ID's?

How can use my Wireless Location Appliance to work with RF ID's for Asset Tagging.
It seems Smartcard used for ID cards have a small RF ID, can I use this for Asset Tagging?
Thanks in Advance

There are two kinds of RFID tags: Active tags, which have a battery or other internal power source, and passive tags, which have no power source and work by reflecting the energy from an RFID scanner (basically). At the energy levels and distances used for WiFi location detection, passive tags will not return a detectable signal.
Take a look at http://www.aeroscout.com/ for more info on WiFi RFID tagging.

How can I start using IPad without first syncing with my computer?

I'm out of town and just bought a new IPad2. I don't have my computer with me and won't be able to use it for another 2 weeks. How can I start using my IPad before syncing with my computer?

You must activate it by syncing it to iTunes on a computer. An Apple Store can do it for you - or anybody with a computer that meets the minimum requirements and has iTunes 10.2 on it can activate it for you.
If you have someone else activate it, bear in mind that when you do finally sync to your computer, iTunes is going to tell you that all content will be erased because you already set it up on another computer with another iTunes library. Your iPad will sync to one iTunes library only. That is way they are designed to perform.
You CAN transfer any purchases that you make on the iPad to your iTunes library when you perform your first sync with your own computer, however, and I would strongly suggest that you do that when you get the chance.
If you do set it up with another computer, I would keep the purchases and downloads to a minimum so that keeping all of your data is not a big problem when you finally sync to your own PC.

How can I remove pages 5.0 to work with Pages 09 again?

How can I remove pages 5.0 to work with Pages 09 again?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
When you upgraded to Pages 5.0, the Mac App Store kept Pages '09 in case you want to use it again.
To access to Pages '09, open a Finder window, choose Applications in the sidebar and open the old Pages version. To access to it quickly, you can drag the icon to the Dock.
I do not recommend you to remove Pages 5.0 or the Mac App Store will be always asking you to upgrade Pages. Also, Apple will add more features to Pages 5.0 in the future. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6049?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are the best two resources I could find that would walk you through the syncing process.
iOS: Syncing your data with iTunes
