A strange thing is happening when I try to upgrade to Leopard

I have OS 10.4.11 and I own Leopard but when I try to install it, the computer does the scan thing and tells me that I need OS 10.4 or higher to install Leopard. But when I click on "About this mac" it tells me that i meet all the requirements and that I have 10.4.11
So I can't figure it out! Why does my computer not see that I have the right stuff? Or if I don't why does it look like I do?

Hi again, Snow Leopard/10.6 will not work on any G5, or G4, Leopard/10.5 is the latest you can install/run/use.
You mentioned contacting Apple to get something that is now past it's era?
Yes. 10.5 is getting late in it's life, but is the most modern OS you can run.
Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
* Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
minimum system requirements
* 512MB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
* DVD drive for installation
* 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
You have to call Apple & likely ask for a Product Specialist to get it, if they still have it!
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
* Mac computer with an Intel processor
* 1GB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
* 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
* DVD drive for installation
* Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
* Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
To be sure which Mac you have...
At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac, then click on More Info, then click on Hardware> and report this upto *but not including the Serial#*...

  • I am trying to move a pdf file onto my iPad2, and it says that the device is not connected or has stopped working.  But Windows 7 recognizes the device and I can see my pictures.  Same thing happens when I try to put music onto the iPad.

    When in iTunes on the computer,my our ipadmshould show under devices.
    Click on your ipadmunder devices then go to music at top center of the iTunes window, check what you want to sync for music. You need to set it to a folder if I remember which would have your music in it you want synced.
    Same with PDF files.....there should be an option for data or even PDF files at the top center area of iTunes when the iPad is clicked under devices.
    If your iPad does not show or you cannot click on it under devices which is in the leftane of iTunes, the iPad is not being seen by the computer.
    Try unplugging the USB cord from the laptop then give it a few and see if the computer picks it up.

  • I try to redeem an iTunes GC and I get a "Session Has Timed Out" Message. The same thing happens when I try to download a song, after I'm taken to the SLA page

    I try to redeem an iTunes GC and I get a "Session Has Timed Out" Message. The same thing happens when I try to download a song, after I'm taken to the SLA page. I sent Apple Support an email. They told me its software on my computer restricting access to my Internet Connection, but I haven't installed any new software since my last purchase from the iTunes Store. What can I do to fix this?!?! Thanks

    Delete and redownload them if doing so is free in your country.

  • I am having trouble bouncing and creating an aiff file that plays back. I've checked my output settings, and although I am able to create MP3s, the aiffs are blank. The happens when I try to export a track as an aiff file - it's blank.

    I am having trouble bouncing and creating an aiff file that plays back. I've checked my output settings which appear to be correct. Although I am able to create MP3s, the aiffs are blank. The happens when I try to export a track as an aiff file - it's blank.

    When bouncing, do you use the Key Command or the button on the Output Channel Strip? The Key Command only bounces from the Stereo Output. The bounce button bounces from the Channel Strip it is on. So if you want to bounce out outputs 3-4 or higher, don't use the key command, but the button.
    The strange thing here is that Logic, when it bounces an MP3, first bounces an AIFF, which at the end of the bounce process is being converted to MP3, so I can't imagine how you can get a silent AIFF and a normal MP3.
    How have you listened to those bounces? iTunes? Quicklook? Quicktime?

  • I updated to FF4 and after a few days, strange things started happening. How do I recover to normal?

    I updated to FF4 and after a few days, strange things started happening.
    The groups I had set up disappeared and the Group button is gone.
    When I first open the app, it opens 8 - 12 separate windows with 1 blank tab. The orange Firefox button is there with nothing else on that bar. Also, 3 tool bars are blank (i.e. space is there but it's just grey) with NO buttons.
    If I want my previously opened tabs, I have to use the "Recently Closed windows" option to get back to where I was when I last closed down. The orange Firefox button is missing from this window but all the original menu items are back across the top.
    So how do I get back to the way it is supposed to operate?

    Have a look here

  • I have ios7.1.2 on my iphone and am trying to upgrade to 8.0.2. I haven't installed 8 yet and when I try and upgrade nothing happens.  It says just the improvements from 8 are available but not the whole ios.  What to do?

    I have ios7.1.2 on my iphone and am trying to upgrade to 8.0.2. I haven't installed 8 yet and when I try and upgrade nothing happens.  It says ios8.0.2  improvements from 8.0.1 are available but not the whole ios.  What to do?

    It sounds like maybe 8.0.1 has downloaded onto your phone but not installed. You can check for it in Settings > General > Usage > Storage, Manage Storage. If it's there you should see it at the top of the list of apps. Swipe to delete it. 8.0.1 was pulled by Apple quickly after it was introduced due to issues and replaced by 8.0.2. Once it's deleted you should be able to download and install 8.0.2.

  • I added apps by syncing with a Mac.  It was under my husband's ACCT. When I tried to update apps on my iPad, it was his account.  How do I change this?  It only happens when I try to update apps

    I added apps by syncing with a Mac.  It was under my husband's ACCT. When I tried to update apps on my iPad, it was his account.  How do I change this?  It only happens when I try to update apps

    Apps will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased.
    If they were purchased from your husbands account, then they will have to update using that account.

  • I'm using Apple Mail 2.1.3 on a MacBook running OS 10.4.11. A very strange thing is happening. E-mail messages that I either sent or received months ago are showing up in my mailbox and receivers' mailboxes. Help!

    I'm using Apple Mail 2.1.3 on a MacBook running OS 10.4.11. A very strange thing is happening. E-mail messages that I either sent or received months ago are showing up in my mailbox and receivers' mailboxes. In one case, a message someone had sent to me wound up in the mailbox of a third person, who was not included in the address list!!  I have only two accounts, and have checked everything; only one account is showing the repeats Now, that account is my professional account, and it resides in three places: I use it on the laptop described here, I use it through Apple Mail on the much newer desktop Mac in my office, and I can run it through Web mail on my employer's server, which is where the professional account resides (I have a mailbox there, etc.) That program is called Zimbra.
    My personal account is with Earthlink and is not doing the repeats. I access it either through my MacBook's Apple Mail or the Web; the Apple Mail on my office Mac is not configured to access the Earthlink server.
    What IS going on here?? My friends, colleagues, and students (I teach college) are mystified by these ancient messages.
    Thanks for any help!!

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

  • Having this error message:  [../../../../MediaFoundation/API/Inc/MFBinaryData.h-62]    This error message happens when i try to import several files at a time.

    As i said Premiere pro is crashing on me and I am having this error message:   [../../../../MediaFoundation/API/Inc/MFBinaryData.h-62]   
    It happens when I try to import a file full of videos in premiere pro.. certain files import others do not. The ones that do not will if you import each video individually.
    In my case that would take me a week to do. Need a solution.
    Im running on a Mac with Premiere Pro CC updated. All malware is erased from computer. Why is it doing this? Premiere pro has been crashing a lot lately on me. Super frustrating!
    Somewhere i heard I should verify disk permission and repair them..? I did that and its still a problem.
    Computer settings:
    OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)
    Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory: 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB

    Correction: It was not the footages problem. Only after a matter of time, I was able to import the footage like normal. Seemed to be a momentary problem. Odd and rather frustrating knowing that such problems can just arise at any point in time with relatively no explanation. Oh well!

    Help!!  I'm new to Apple but have loads of PC experience...

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
