Alternative software to Podcast Maker, any suggestions?
Currently I am using Podcast Maker to publish my podcasts, it works fine when it works but every now and then it crashes and that site has not been updated since July of 2008 so I doubt a update is coming soon to the software.
Any suggestions on what else I can use? Thanks community!

It shows in your product details that you are running iOS 4.3.3
The option for OTA updates (Over the Air) ONLY appear when you are already running iOS 5.
This means that any device running iOS prior to 5 will need to update via iTunes on your computer, so just plug it in, it will prompt you to update.
P.S. Make sure you let it back up, and then transfer your purchases before you update, or you may potentially lose all your data.

I just bought a used Macbook Pro. How do I make the changes to make it personal. Example the iTunes comes up as the old user and I have to have his password to make changes on the laptop. Can you make any suggestions?
Also I cant make a right click on the pad. Is that normal?Your first going to have to remove all your personal data off the machine to a external storage drive, do not use TimeMachine when it asks as this will copy the entire drive and is unnecessary at this time (also takes too long).
You need to drag and drop copy your personal data folders (Music, Pictures, Movies etc) to a external storage drive, once done, unmount and disconnect this drive.

Next your going to follow the Zero Erase and install method for your OS X version, either 10.6 or 10.7, here
How to reinstall just OS X or erase/install OS X
10.7 requires your AppleID and password to install, so make sure to have that ready.
Once you reboot your into the real setup of OS X, which will require your name etc, so it's now your machine.
Install your programs, iLife package is only free for the owner of the machine.
If you have the 10.6 machine specific disks, then it's on there.
If your using 10.7, then you'll have to purchase it from the App Store.
Last, return your files from the storage drive, consider setting up a TimeMachine or clone on the external drive. -
My screen goes black and computer freezes. I know this is a software based problem. Any suggestions?
About a month ago I installed an Intego software package on my computer. After it was installed my computer began to randomly freeze. The freezing would start with the screen going black and then fans spinning up. Closing the screen didn't help. Only rebooting did. I took my Macbook to a repair service and they said that the hardware was perfectly fine. They recommended a full wipe and reinstall. I have since uninstalled Intego and for about a week my computer seemed fine. Since then, however it has started acting up again. I'm thinking about doing the wipe and reinstall of ML but am hesistant. Any suggestions what I can do to avoid that?
Hello nattygrimm,
I was looking into the issue you are describing and found a great resource to try and fix the issue without having to re install the OS. It is an article called Mac OS X: How to troubleshoot a software issue found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1199.
I recommend starting here:
The first and easiest test to try is to see if the issue affects a different user account on your Mac. Each user account has customized preferences and other items stored in its home directory. You'll first need to create an additional user if one does not already exist (follow steps a-h below). Then, log out of the current user and test the issue in the new user account.
If this resolves the issue, there may be an issue with a file in the home directory of the original user account.
From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
From the View menu, choose Accounts (or choose Users if using Mac OS X v10.2 or earlier).
Click "+" (or click New User if using Mac OS X v10.2 or earlier).
Give the new user a name and short name.
Mac OS X v10.3 or earlier only: Click the Password tab, and give the user a password.
Mac OS X v10.3 or earlier only: Click Security.
Select the checkbox for "Allow user to administer this computer". This makes the user account an administrator.
Click OK, or quit System Preferences.
Work your way down the article as needed.
All the best,

Just released ! New Software Update - Java 5 Any suggestions?
My software update just advised me that there is a Java 5 upgrade. Any suggestions on this upgrade? Any special settings to Browsers after upgrade recommended? Thanks ! Geof
Just some more info,
Apple doesn't hasn't put out much info on the new Java 5. MacWorld/MacCentral has an small article on Java 5, but it doesn't say much. The link below will bring you to the Java 5 article at MacWorld:
http://www.macworld.com/news/2005/11/15/j2se/index.php
Here is some more info:
http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2005/08/17/asm3.html
It doesn't seem to be a necessity. I have also heard something about Google switching to the new Java but I don't know anything about it.

I consistently receive notices on certain webpages (LA Times, NY Times) that I need to update my web browser to see the entire website. However, I have updated my software multiple times recently as a result of the messages. I have Mac OSX 10.6.8 currently. Can someone provide any guidance?
Please note the version of your computer's OS X now installed and see if
that version is (or not) able to run the latest browsers available now...
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html
The minimum requirements usually are posted along with the builder site
in a link other than the download one.
See if the Adobe Flash Player help pages can identify whatever Flash may
be installed already; and before installing another, usually the older one
has to be removed. Adobe has an uninstaller for that. See there are two
links into Adobe Help for Flash player. The second one goes further to
try & find an archived alternative to the latest Flash player, if needed.

PS: was the notice to upgrade browser, a pop-up window over the web page you
were looking at? Could be some adware, or other malware item is in your Mac.
I do not see those kinds of prompts to upgrade anything in my Mac, and
mine run an OS X older than your Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Visiting the same sites.
Good luck & happy computing!

I just upgraded my iMac to 10.6.8. Now my Microsoft office applications,(word, excel, ppt) and my camera software to transfer picts from my camera will not launch. (Separate apps but all stopped working as soon as I upgraded from 10.5.8). The software for the Canon Powershot is Ver.37.2. Image browser 6.2 EOS utility 1.1. Any help would be appreciated.
Also if you could tell me what happens to the individual jpegs that get imported through iPhoto, I would go back to using that instead of the Canon software. I want to be able to go into a folder and see all the jpegs and not have to rely on iPhoto's one enormous file. What happens if that iPhoto file gets corrupt? Thanks, LeeshaLeesha wrote:

Actually, Microsoft Office 2004 works fine with Snow Lepoard OS 10.6.x. However, it does require Rosetta, Apple's app for Classic apps. In your upgrade from Lepoard 10.5.8, Rosetta may not have installed but you can manually install it with the instructions here.
On another note, when upgrading the OS, some anomalies get resolved by repairing disk permissions with Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
One more note, there was an issue with Rosetta crashing with OS 10.6.8 in February 2012. Apple released a security update that fixed it. You can see if Software Update (launch from the Apple menu) shows it or manually download Security Update 2012-001 v1.1 and install it. Software Update will also show other applicable apps available for updating for your upgraded system.
Rosetta is no longer available with OS 10.7 Lion and beyond. Then you will need to upgrade MS Office 2011 for Mac.

My I phone 4s does not have an update option to get IOS7. How do I downloead?
The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

HT4623 My iPad does not have a software update like the photos. Any suggestions?
I read the instructions to update my iPad. I am trying to upgrade the software. When I open the utilities and go into settings, I do not have the software update window. Any suggestions?
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

Hi, I have been trying to update many things on my 2009 white macbook. Everytime I do it tells me I need a different version. I don't know what versions I need or even where to begin or if I need to purchase new hardware? It says my version is 10.5.8. I have tried downloading 10.6 but not sure what to do. Everyone else seems to be updating there's and mine is way behind however it still tells me I have no software updates...Any suggestions?
You have to understand the difference between an Update and an Upgrade.
An Update is a free change to add to the base code or as a bug fix within an existing Operating System. Such as the .8 added to 10.5.
An Upgrade is a complete new Operating System that must be purchased. Such as 10.5 Leopard to 10.6 Snow Leopard.
10.5 Leopard was based on Power PC code and was written to be able to run on both Power PC and Intel processors.
10.6 Snow Leopard has completely rewritten code and only runs on Intel Macs.
10.7 Lion used some 32 bit which allows it to run on Late 2006 through Early 2008 MacBooks and a lot of 64 bit code.
10.8 Mountain Lion is pure 64 bit, which excludes more systems than Lion did. It's not something you can add memory to, for example, as it involves the base architecture. -
Hi! I'm using a Macbook Pro, and my photo booth stopped working! I just updated my software yesterday, but it still doesn't work!! The green light does go on though, any suggestions on how to make it work?
In what way is it not working?
Please describe in detail all you have attempted to do in order to resolve the issue. -
The APP application on my iPad does not function properly - any downloads requested immediately fail and send me back tot he main iPad screen. Any suggestions on to hoe to fix this? The software has been updated to iOS 5.1.1, and no furthe updates are available.
This is my boilerplate response when app downloads are stalled or in the "waiting" mode. There are a bunch of things here to try.
Tap on the "installing" icon and see if you can pause the install, then tap on it again in order to resume the install.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download and install at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and see if the install resumes.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.
