You need to upgrade the iMac to Mac OS X 10.6.3 and then 10.6.8; the installer won't run on 10.5.8, and it won't install onto a 10.5.8 system if run from a compatible OS.

  • Hello everyone I need help! Why i cant Update to Mountain Lion if Im gonna try to update my Macbook Pro with Mac OS X 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5. It always says "Your Software is up to date" which is only Mac Os X ver. 10.7.5

    Not sure what exactly you did (or not), but it looks as if you should attempt doing it all again, only this time all right and by the book. Many millions have done so, and sure it'll work for you as well.
    If you've indeed purchased ML already, you'll find it exactly there in the App Store: under Purchases.

  • I cant update my macbook pro to mac os x 10.9.2 what do i do please help me guys..

    i cant update my macbook pro to mac os x 10.9.2 what do i do please help me guys.......

    First off, you need to post in the correct forum.   10.9.2 is not the same as Mac OS 9.2. (12 years separate those two).
    I'll ask this thread be moved.
    Secondly, look at your Apple menu -> About This Mac and tell us what you have now.
    If it is some version of  10.8, you can upgrade to 10.9, and then 10.9.2 free:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6131
    If it is some version of 10.7, check the system requirements for 10.8 first, to determine if you can go straight to 10.9, then 10.9.2:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3761
    If it is some version of 10.6 or lower, read this tip:

    Yes they are separate albums. If the extra songs are available for download individually you can do that.

  • 2007 MacBook Pro w/ Mac OS X Lion Can't Automatically Connect to my Wi-Fi Network...

    Hello everyone,
    I have a late 2007 15" MacBook Pro (not Unibody model) that has been recently upgraded to Mac OS X Lion (not Mountain Lion).
    Ever since the upgrade, when I power it on, everything loads as it should but what I notice is that my MacBook doesn't automatically connect (or finds) my wireless router. I have to click on the wi-fi antenna icon on the top right hand corner, and manually select my Wi-Fi connection from the pull down list. What's even more bizaare is that my MacBook knows to automatically connect because it's in my preferred network list.
    I also have a 27" iMac with Mac OS X Lion and I don't get this issue. It simply powers up and automatically connects to my wireless network. I tried to compare configuration settings on both my MacBook and iMac but everything appears to match.
    All of my software updates are up to date.
    I really hate powering on my MacBook and manually select it from the pull down list of available networks.
    Any help? Suggestions? I'm really scratching my head on this one.
    Thanks!

    Things to do on the affected MBP.
    Switch off WiFi
    In System Preferences, Network, WiFi interface, Advanced - remove the problematic network.
    Go to Keychain, (Applications, Utilities) and remove keys associated with that network.
    Switch on WiFi and try to connect again.
    Please report back.

    Are your purchased files on an iPod/iPhone? If so, see this:

    If not, you can email iTunes store support and request a "regrant" of your purchases:

  • I am trying to update my Macbook Pro to OS X Mountain Lion. Paid for it and not it is not downloading. Anyone know why?

    Why am I not able to download OS X Mountain Lion Software on my Macbook pro?

    If you can catch it once the download is finished, but BEFORE it starts to install (there will be an "OS X Installer" window opening up), then you could make a copy of that installer so you don't have to wait that long again if you need to reinstall for some reason. To do that, quit the Installer and go find it in your Applications folder. Make a copy of it and park it someplace safe (another folder, external disk); then double click the Installer and go ahead - the Installer will self destruct once it's finished.

  • HT2520 I have an old MacBook Pro running OS 10.7.5.  I would like to sync up my contacts with my iPad.  I have checked all the right boxes in iCloud.

    I have a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.7.5.  I would like to sync my contacts from my iPad with my MAC.  I've checked all the appropriate boxes in iCloud on both devices.  What am I not doing or doing wrong?

    Bobby D,
    Thanks for the help.  I learned quite a bit from your answer.  Turns out I was looking in Outlook for the MAC instead of Address Book on my MAC which already had all my contacts.  Once I imported them to Outlook, problem solved.  It will be interesting to see if when I add a new contact it updates Outlook.
    Thanks again,

  • HT1498 Why do rented movies on AppleTV have to start the download all over again if I didn't watch it yesterday?

    I rented a 1080p movie using AppleTV (3rd gen) several days ago. But the download time was so slow that I decided to let it download & watch it another day. Two days later I tried to watch it and the long slow download started all over again. So again I let it load intending to watch it the next day. When I wanted to watch it yesterday SAME THING ALL OVER AGAIN! Why is this happening? Isn't ATV's hard drive big enough to store it? The movie cover always showed in the "rented" section but obviously wasn't really there.

    Yes - presumably you've set up Home Sharing and can stream from the Mac using the Computers icon to access your itunes library on AppleTV?
    If you rent in iTunes you have to wait for the whole movie to download (appleTV lets you watch when it thinks the length of the movie is long enough to complete the download as you watch).
    Once downloaded via iTunes it'll stay on the Mac for up to 30 days, but will also be available on AppleTV under a new Rentals column in the Computers section for your iTunes library - Rentals appears along with Movies, TV Shows etc but only when there's a fully downloaded rental to stream from the computer.
    One thing to be aware of is that some titles are only available in HD on AppleTV not via iTunes.
    You might want to experiment SD vs HD anyway as SD downloads far quicker.

  • Do I have to buy the entire creative suite again for another device?

    Do I have to spend another $500 on the creative suite for my new laptop or can I download it again from my account?

    You do not have to buy it again. Just install it on the new machine using the original media that you used to install it on the iMac.
    If you're getting rid of the old machine, deactivate and uninstall the software first.
