MAC OS Version required to install Link?
Hi All,
I have a new Z10 and am trying to install Link on my MacBook running OS 10.5.8 (Leopard, I think). Link says it can't install on that version and I can't find minimum requirements for Link listed anywhere. Does anyone know the minimum OS needed? I can upgrade the Mac to Snow Leopard but want to know if that will even help. Thanks!
Hey Dkinlough,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
BlackBerry Link requires Mac OS X 10.6 or later.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

An earlier version of Mac OS X is not installed
Had to repartition the HD of a G4 in our office, but when I get to the point of installing the OS I get the message: You cannot install Mac OS X on this drive. An earlier version of Mac OS X is not installed. If OS X 10.2 was a later install from an earlier version, the original discs are long gone. Not a Mac expert. What to do? And how do I now eject the disc?
Welcome to Apple Discussions neighbor!
The Update labelled disks require an earlier version of Mac OS X to be installed before you can install it. I hope you backed up your data before partitioning. If you lost the original installation disks which came with your computer, you can usually call AppleCare at 1-800-APLCARE for replacements. Always keep these discs in a safe place in case you need to reinstall. Only the full retail discs don't require a prior operating system to be installed.
See my FAQ* on used and refurbished Macs for sources you can get those older retail disks from:
http://www.macmaps.com/usedrefurbished.html
And this FAQ* shows you what they look like:

Installing Mac OS version 10.0.4 for a Power Mac G4
Wondering if anyone can help me, I spent all day trying to reinstall the Mac OS version 10.0.4 software that came with the computer in the first place. Decided we needed to restore our Power Mac G4 to its original state. I know, its 8 years old! LOL. I erased the HD and used all 4 restoring CD's. Came up at the end saying that the restore couldn't be completed cause it could not restore a "restricted-image". We ignored that and just moved on and installed the Mac OS 9.2 software- which seems to work. Then when we tried to install the Mac OS 10.0.4 software installer CD, the small little happy face computer came up on screen and so did that darn spinning ball! Then the ball froze and stopped spinning and we couldn't install the Mac OS 10.0.4 software CD at all. I don't know how many times we tried it. But it did it every time! So I tried to skip that and go directly to installing the Mac OS X 10.4. But the computer kept ejecting it every single time! It just wouldn't take it.
Someone please help! I'm going crazy with this thing!
Sincerely frustrated!Be sure the computer shipped with those discs, & before attempting again
to install anything, use the disk tools in OS 9 and have then erase the
whole hard disk drive, and then reformat it. Nothing should be on the drive.
Then use the OS 9 installer, be sure to install OS 9 Drivers as part of the
installation, so you will have a running system. If there are any options,
in directing the installer to add extras, maybe due to the vintage of the
computer, you should be sure they are all installed.
(If the computer required OS X to be installed first, then you have a
different vintage issue on your hands. Some were that way.)
If one of the discs has a scratch or smudge, or if they aren't all for
the computer in question, the issue may be due to those details.
When you have OS 9 running on the computer, you could try going on-
line and running the OS 9 software update to see if there are some odd
updates to add to the running system. You may have to rebuild the
desktop and other routines for OS 9 to work, and continue to do so, as
a part of the install and update process.
If you have any proper OS 9 vintage disk utilities, you may wish to see
if any of them were decidedly good to use, and if not, discard them. A
few were great, and some were OK. Later on, some of the OS9 names
were making stuff for OS X; and a few were bad at it. Be advised.
OS 10.0 is hardly considered an operating system and nothing available
after that required it to be on the computer before hand; so it may be a
good deal to not install OS X 10.0.0 ~ 10.2.8 versions at all. Panther 10.3
was the first really ready OS X version for general purposes & it did well;
however, there are no new browser or much of anything current for it,
and no security updates, either.
If you do go into OS X, you may need to see if there is a suitable Firmware
Update required for that computer, to run OS X 10.2 or later (or any) and
if the Boot ROM or other indicator of a firmware version appears in the OS9
System Profiler, note what it is. The firmware should be updated and the
download from Apple Support for those older computer updates is free.
Since it is a G4 (you say) it may not need a firmware update. Check.
{If you had a retail installer for Panther 10.3 and went through the steps to
include the disc set and what not with the computer, or installed it (by so
doing, that beings a process of personalizing the installation; a new owner
may have to change the password to use it, but whatever name is used
to set up the new OS X system will remain in the computer.) They may not
like having your name in their computer; or having to reinstall & update it.}
A working OS 9.2.2 in a clean machine, without issues, with installer discs
to support the license agreement behind the system within the computer, is
set for use or sale; to install a very old OS X system is no advantage. To
include a vintage and basic OS X 10.3 retail installer disc set would leave
the window of opportunity for the machine to run a practical old OS X.
Note:
+Some computers shipped with installer discs which required a certain+
+and specific install path to get OS 9.0.x or 9.1, or 9.2 installed first,+
+and then the option sometimes was OS X 10.0 or 10.1, etc. Later on,+
+some of the dual-boot computers had to have a correct OS X 10.+
+installed first and then an OS 9.2 installed from a special OS 9 disc.+
If you are curious about your computer's exact identity, you could
try matching it by model number and build date era either from the
database at Apple Support (see products listing in scroll sidebar)
or see if you can use the information in the free download of the
handy database from MacTracker from: http://mactracker.ca
While I could probably spend some more time on this, and find
most of the details, I don't have the computer sitting here. You do.
Good luck & happy computing! -
Where is the Mac downloadable version of Adobe Acrobat 7 Pro that doesn't require activation
I purchased Adobe Creative Suite 2 Premium, it cost more than €2,000. When I recently tried to re-install it due to having to reformat my hard drive I could no longer activate it over the phone or online.
When I rang the help number it directed me to the downloadable versions that don't require activation. Great! UNTIL I realise Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional is only available for Windows as a download.
Where is the download for the Mac Version as it not included in the bundle either. This is extremely urgent. Thank you in advance.To maswatson
The answer to your question of March 12, 2015 – "Where is the Mac downloadable version of Adobe Acrobat 7 Pro that doesn't require activation[?]" – is … nowhere. That doesn't mean it's not available to you, however. I have successfully installed several CS2 programs and Acrobat 7, on two computers.
The hard drive on my MacBook Air crashed recently. After a new drive was installed I had to reload various programs, including CS2 Premium. I used the original disks and the serial number on the package.
When I tried to open InDesign, however, I got an "Activate Using the Internet" message which led to an "Activation Server Unavailable" message that gave me three options, the last of which was "Click the Phone Activation button to activate the product over the phone." I called the toll-fee number and heard the following recorded message: "We no longer support activation issues over the phone."
So I searched the Web, figuring that others had encountered and solved this problem. Eventually, I found "Creative Suite Help / Download Acrobat 7 and OS2 Products" at https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs2-product-downloads.html#.
I also found "How to Fix Adobe’s “Licensing for this product has stopped working” Error by Aaron Nelsen at http://hijinksinc.com/2010/01/20/how-to-fix-adobes-licensing-for-this-product-has-stopped- working-error/. He writes "… you MUST delete adobe_00080000_tsf.data and adobe_00080000_event.log" which is found in /Library/Preferences/FLEXnet Publisher/FLEXnet. So I did that.
I also deleted Illustrator CS2, InDesign CS2, and Photoshop CS2 from my Applications folder. I did not delete Acrobat 7 or GoLive.
After clicking on "English" at https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs2-product-downloads.html#, I downloaded Illustrator CS2 for Mac, InDesign CS2 for Mac, and Photoshop CS2 for Mac. I was not able to download Acrobat 7 because the only option is for Windows. As you know, there is no download for Mac.
Illustrator CS2, InDesign CS2, and Photoshop CS2 all opened without any problems. When I tried to open GoLive, I got the same "Activate Using the Internet" message I got at the outset, when I tried to open InDesign. I proceeded, and now have a 30-day trial. The same limitation has been placed on Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop, because I downloaded them, whereas GoLive was installed from the CS2 disks.
Next, I opened Acrobat 7.0 Professional – the one installed from the original CS2 disks. It works fine.
BOTTOM LINE: If you want Acrobat 7.0 Professional, install Creative Suite using original CS2 disks, then delete the other CS2 programs from those disks. If you want Illustrator CS2, InDesign CS2, Photoshop CS2, and others, download them from https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs2-product-downloads.html#.
I am hoping this explanation will help you. I feel great sympathy for you because the "answers" you received have been obtuse and clearly less than helpful. (I requested a "Yes," "No," or "Don't know" answer to a very straightforward question, but didn't get it.)
My experience tells me that the answer to your question "Where is the Mac downloadable version of Adobe Acrobat 7 Pro that doesn't require activation[?]" – is … nowhere, but you don't need to download it. It's on the original disks and it does not require activation. That's why Adobe did not included it with the Windows version at https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs2-product-downloads.html#.
I hope this answers your question, solves your problem, and ends your frustration. -
Hi, I need to install Adobe Flash Player because the version I have installed in my Mac Os is old, but I can´t do it because I need to write my email and my password and I don´t remember my password, so what can I do? Thank you
The email and password will be the ones for your computer's security, not something for any Adobe product. You might need to consult Mac customer support if you are unable to determine the required information.

is it free to upgrade to iPhoto 11, if it automatically appears on my updates, and if I'm using Mac OSX version 10.7.5, pre installed iphoto when i got my Mac.
Yes. Don't worry, Apple won't let you download something that requires a purchase before actually paying.

I am using an Mac PPC version 10.5.8 and I am trying to download the correct version of Flash Player. I did once but I had to install a "Clean Install" of my computer and when finished I had put back the new Flash Player I just installed well every time I try install the new player it is place in my Trash Folder and I can not get Player to work. I did everything I was to install it correctly but it still does not install it correctly. Can some help me. Bob
Some MacBook Pro versions cannot be upgraded past 10.6.8; others are maxed out at 10.7.5. newer models can go all the way to 10.10. So it is important to know exactly what version you have--there may be close to 40 variants produced since the MB made its debut in 2006.
You can safely give us a snapshot of your model and its current config that will allow us to deternmmine your model and its upgrade potential, plus show it you have any software that may impede any upgrades. Please download and install this free utility:

Tried to open a file I created in Numbers a while ago, which I modified on 11/4/13, and got a message that I needed a newer version of Numbers. When I went to the Mac App Store it shows that the new version is already installed and there doesn't seem to be a way to reinstall it. When I checked "About Numbers" on my MacBook it shows "Numbers '09 version 2.3". Any suggestions as to how I can get the new version installed?
Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

You run Windows in Parallels or Fusion. Then in Windows you install the program.

I get an "install failed" message. "Recovery system can't be created—click restart to return to previous version of OS X." This doesn't work. My Mac continues to try to install Mountain Lion. What is the elegant way to get my system back?
The first time I attempted to install ML was on a late 2011 MBP. It ran for three minutes then gave me the error message: Could not install OSX due to an unexpected error. I was using the original ML install app, not a USB or other drive.
After a couple of restarts wiht the same result I saw a message to the effect that the install was trying to close open apps. I closed apps manually a few times to no avail. I shut down instead of restarting then booted into Safe mode (hold down the shift key when starting) and that did it. The install went smoothly after that.
I since installed ML in two iMacs using a cloned copy of the install app on a USB drive. This time I shut down the computers and booted into Safe Mode first and there were no problems.
I don't know if this issue is the one causing you these problems but it is a simple enough solution to try.
