Software update tab does not do anything. Is there another way to check for updates?
Helllo,
I"m trying to update my OS to 10.8.4 but when I click on Apple > software update, nothing happens. How do I fix this problem or is there another way to look for software updates? Thanks!
Mike
Download and install 10.8.4 Mountain Lion Update v10.8.4 (Combo). Before you install be sure to do the following:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.

My iphone 3gs on off button does not work. Is there another way to reset the phone?
The on/off button on my iphone 3gs does not work. I cannot shut the phone down to reboot and it is stuck in a no service. I cannot get cell or internet service. Is there another way to reboot the phone? Possibly a soft reset?
The screen goes to voice control. It only recognises the home button not the on/off button. Is there a way to soft reset the phone?

i updated to ios 7 and now the battery does not stop charging any ideas, or have to wait for update? thanks
To show the battery percentage used go to settings
from there click general scroll to usage and select
scroll to bottom of page for battery usage select on.
This will show the icon battery and the percent numbers on the top right.
When phone is connected to an outlet sometimes it does not always show complete charge. I do not understand why but it is what it is.
FYI I sent reply to you not to deggie. You can have your own satisfaction to reply direct. -

CD-R will not eject. Is there another way to eject besides the eject button?
I inserted an old CD-R, which would not read and will not eject. Is there another way to eject a disc?
You could always try the old Terminal trick...
drutil eject
Don't know if it will work, but it may be worth a try.

My ipad does not have the software update as an option. Is there any other way to update the operating system? Thank you
Your tag line shows iOS 6. If you are running iOS 6 you should have it in the settings. Your tag line also shows iPad - so if you have the iPad 1 - you can only update to iOS 5.1.1 and you need a computer running iTunes.
So if You do not have iOS 5 on your iPad you have to update by using a computer via the latest version of iTunes. You can connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Select the iPad on the left side under the devices heading. Click on the Summary Tab on the right. Click on Check for Update.
After you update to iOS 5 or later, you will have Software Update in you settings and can update via WiFi OTA.

ITunes 10 will not connect to Store, let me sign in, check for updates on Windows Vista 32 bit.
Has anyone had trouble connecting to the iTunes Store while using Itunes 10 for PC?
I cannot check for updates, sign in, or connect to the store so all my app downloads must be done from my device.
Using:
Windows Vista 32-bit.
Cox McAfee anti-virus/firewall.Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

I'm trying to sync bookmarks from our laptop to our desktop computer. The laptop is running Firefox 16.0.2 and the desktop has version 3.6.8. On the desktop, under "Tools, Options" there is no selection for "Sync". The desktop is running Windows XP Media Center Edition.
I did try to download a patch from your site, but the download website is no longer working. Is there some other patch you can offer to solve this problem? Can I upgrade the desktop to a newer Firefox version?The old Firefox Sync extension for older Firefox versions was discontinued by Mozilla over a year ago. Update Firefox.
Firefox app button > Help > Check for Updates
Or download the current release version and install it after you uninstall that old 3.6.8 version.<br />

Following a backup and restore of my iphone 3g I have lost the use of a number of apps - this seems to be as they need ios5 or later to support them and I only have 4.2.1
When I check for updates via itunes I am advised that I have the latest version - but clearly I don't.
Any help gratefully received on how I can upgrade to ios5
YallySadly, the iPhone 3G can not be upgraded beyond iOS 4.2.1.

I have Firefox 4. In the Firefox drop down menu, there is an option to cut, copy and paste but it is not highlighted. Please tell me how to highlight this link. Or is there a way to have a cut copy and paste tab?
Those links in the Edit menu are only highlighted if there is something to do:<br />
Paste should be enabled if the clipboard has data placed on it by a previous Copy or Cut and you have set focus on a text area or field that allows to paste that data.
Copy works if some text is selected. -
When I place an Aperture photo on the cloud to share with friends, the idenfifcation information I have entered for the photo does not transfer to the cloud and thus my friends get only the photo. Is there a setting I am missing that would allow the text to go along with the photograph?
The photo stream will transfer the EXIF information set by the camera and the filname/version name. Try to get any information you want to transfer into the filename by batch changing the filename with "write to master" enabled. Aloso, you can set a comment, when sharing the image to the Photo Stream.
