Can I pause the Maverick's update to first update software on OSX 10.8?

I started to download the new Maverick's hardware upgrade but then realized that there were some software updates that weren't done firsts(I'm running OSX 10.8.3). I then paused the Maverick's upgrade...
So can I go ahead first and update the software and then finish the Maverick's upgrade ?

The initial download can be paused, and in fact, if all you do is download from the store, copy the installer from the Applications folder to the desktop folder after the download is complete, you can quit the installer and install it later.

  • My MacBook Pro is still running the OS X 10.5.8, can I install the Mavericks directly? Or could you advise which latest system is able to be installed for my notebook?

    Hello, my MacBook Pro is still running the OS X 10.5.8, can I install the Mavericks directly? Or could you advise which latest system is able to be installed for my notebook?

    First up, we don't know what kind of MacBook you have so we can't tell you what OS you can run.  You can use this instruction to identify which MacBook model you have:  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1635.  Alternatively, from the Apple menu open "About this Mac".  From the window that pops up, click "More Info".  This will open the system profiler.  Click "Hardware" and locate the model identifier, there.
    Next, you need to determine if your system can even run Mavericks before you can go about installing it.  These are the requirements:
    To install Mavericks, you need one of these Macs:
    iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
    MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
    MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    Your Mac also needs:
    OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
    2 GB or more of memory
    8 GB or more of available space
    Lastly, as you'll note from the above, you can't update to Mavericks (or Mountain Lion or Lion) from 10.5.8.  Mavericks is only available in the App Store.  You need to be running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) in order to download and install any OS from Lion (10.7) and up.  You can buy Snow Leopard here:  http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

  • How can I pause the screensaver

    How can I pause the screensaver.
    I am using osx 10.8.2
    Thanks in advance

    My screensaver becomes active after 5 mins and displays photos from my iPhoto library.  Before my update to 10.8.2 I was able to pause on a picture  by pressing I think was the down arrow key (to pause and un-pause) and  scroll through the pictures by using the left or right arrow keys the scroll part works still however I am unable to pause. Once I press the down arrow key or spacebar the screensaver comes off.
    Thanks again

  • How can I get the 23 July update to load onto my iPad. I haven't been able to access my documents or work for weeks and need to use it. Has anyone else had similar problems?

    How can I get the 23 July update to load onto my iPad. I haven't been able to access my documents or work for weeks and need to use it. Has anyone else had similar problems?

    Hello Arthur,
    Thank you for the reply.
    You were correct that deleting the app and reinstalling it was the only thing to make it work but unfortunately I lost all the documents I made, even though they were backed up to iCloud before i deleted the app. At the same time as deleting pages I had to delete keynote and numbers too, so I've lost all the documents in them too.
    The mb of data which was assigned to each programme in iCloud has reduced, so. I guess they are gone for good. Is there any other way to reaccess them?
    Not your fault but I am a bit fed up the the iPad. I have lost work that I've done and have no other copy apart from what was in iCloud, as I don't have a printer and couldn't email them too myself as I couldn't get into the programme and  i've also got episodes of tv series I purchased that I can't download and albums that are half downloaded with songs missing, so I feel a bit swindled out of time and money and am going back to DVD ,  pen and paper and CDs .
    Instead of using iCloud I guess the only way to make sure I don't loose any more documents it to email them to myself each time I save them on the iPad. Is there anything else you could suggest please?
    I don't have any other apple products apart from iPods, so I can't access the iCloud on anything else can I?
    Thanks

  • Can I download a file in different sessions or should it be in a single session? In other words can I pause the download of a file, shutdown/restart my system and then resume download from where I left off? Or will it start from the very beginning?

    Can I download a file in different sessions or should it be in a single session? In other words can I pause the download of a file, shutdown/restart my system and then resume download from where I left off? Or will it start from the very beginning?

    If a server supports resuming downloads then the download should continue where it left off.<br />
    You can test that by simple starting a large download and wait a minute or so before pausing it.<br />
    Then you can close and restart Firefox and see if resuming works.
    You can set the pref browser.download.manager.quitBehavior to 2 on the about:config page.<br />
    That will make Firefox ask for confirmation if you want to cancel the download if you close Firefox.

    "The new java Version 7 Update 13 is not exactly helpful in macbook pro.
    try the version 11 or 12 they should work perfectly."
    The OP is running 10.6.8 so Java 6 is his option at this point.

  • HT5766 Where can I find the size of a download for a software update now?

    Hello,
    Where can I find the size of a download for a software update now?
    Since I upgraded to Mountain Lion (Mac OSX 10.8.3) this information is no longer available in software updates listing you get if you click on the Software Update menu item from the Apple menu.
    I found the download size (often hundreds of megabytes for an individual update and sometimes a set of updates might amount to a few gigabytes) to be very helpful, and now that it seems no longer available (I can't even see it on the web page I came to for more information, thinking the download size would surely be specified there), it is frustrating. My current example is iTunes 11.0.3
    I would greatly appreicate having this information back in the software updates listing, but since it is no longer available there, and I don't know where else to find it, if anybody can enlighten me to its whereabouts, I'd be grateful.
    Thanks and cheers!

  • Where can I download the Mavericks installer post-Yosemite?

    I can't find the Mavericks installer on the App Store any more, and I don't have a copy on my hard drive. Is there somewhere else to download it from?
    My Macbook Pro is a 3,1 and the latest install DVD that I have is Snow Leopard. It's running Mavericks now and both it and I are happy with this. But I'd really like to keep a copy of the installer for backup!

    If you downloaded OS X Mavericks, you can still download it by opening the App Store and going to Purchases, so you can keep the installer on your MacBook Pro
