Can I update to Mavericks and keep GarageBand 5.1?

I'm hoping to update to Mavericks (I'm currently at version 10.6.8) so I can also update Final Cut Pro X to the newest version. I need to work on a project from home since the office is closed due to rough weather.
However, I'm afraid in doing so that I will lose GarageBand 5.1 and tons and tons of projects started. I know that I can download 5.1 (here: GarageBand 5.1), but I don't know if it will work properly within Mavericks. I also don't even know if Mavericks will automatically update GarageBand? I'm pretty clueless, so any help would be much appreciated!

Unless you downloaded the full Mavericks installer from the Mac App Store before Yosemite came out, it's no longer available. The updaters you found aren't it.
Your Mac can run Yosemite.

  • Just updated to Mavericks and can't open spread sheets in numbers

    Just updated to Mavericks and can't opean spread sheets, says I must update numbers but numbers is already updated?

    Hi REBOS1,
    A key point in the article to which YeOldMacFan links is that you now have two versions of Numbers on your Mac, the new version in your main Applications folder and the old version in a subfolder named iWork '09.
    Both versions can coexist on your Mac, even run at the same time, but you need to make sure you are opening a particular document with the correct version. The old version can't open documents that have been edited in the new version, and that's probably the reason you are getting the error message.
    If you have old documents, it's best to make copies of them and open the copies in the new version, leaving the orginals unchanged.

    You'll be given the option to change the target after the download is complete and before the actual installation begins. The process is otherwise the same as normal.

  • Have a MBP mid 2009, had mavericks, changed hard drive and now have 10.6.8 and can't update to mavericks again. Any help?

    Hi,
    I Have a MBP mid 2009, 8 Gb RAM, had mavericks, changed hard drive to get more space (500Gb) and couldn't restart from time machine so had to install Snow Leopard, now have OS 10.6.8 and can't update to mavericks again. Any help?

    You did not contact us. This is just a user to user forum where we try to help each other out. No one here works for Apple and as far as we know Apple do not even come here. Ring back the number you originally called on and ask for an explanation.

  • My Mac book pro has the end of a earphone stuck to it. After this I updated to maverick, and this massively slowed down my computer.Now my laptop is switching on and logging in just fine, but after logging in the screen goes white. What can the reason be?

    At first my laptop was fine after the earphone end got stuck in. Soon it started getting slower, and suddenly it stopped switching on. The people in the service station said that it wAs because the hard disk drive was corrupted. I came back home, and immediately it stopped working again. This time they said it was because of water spill. They changed the entire key board and then it started working for a while. Later I updated to maverick and that slowed down my computer. Once, I switched on my laptop, logged in, and then the screen went white. When we took it to the service center they said they will need to replace the hard disk. I am not sure what I should do. Any suggestions?

    Liquid damage from water spill is progressive, unfortunately.
    Best.

  • I have two screens on my Apple Mac and could extend work across both. Now updated to Mavericks and cannot do this. What can be done to restore my original functionality?

    I have two screens on my Apple Mac and could extend work across both. Now updated to Mavericks and this no longer works. How could I restore the previous functionality? Is somethong wrong?

    Hi Eustace.
    Thanks for replying to my problem. After posting I noted the "More Like This" box on the right of the screen. The top topic was "Restore old dual screen functionality" and turned out to be the the same question with a surprising answer - in the "Mission Control" dialogue, NOT the "Displays" dialogue. There are five tick boxes at the top of the Mission Control screen and the last of them is "Displays have separate spaces" and this box was ticked through the loading of the Mavericks op. system (presumably). Unticking this box, as advised, restored the 'extended' mode and all is now well.

  • I have a MackBook Pro I updated to Maverick and now my internet won't work and all my programs freeze and I have to restart my computer.

    Back up your documents and everything else important to you, not that there is any reason to believe your hard disk may be failing, but the symptoms you describe may presage an impending disk failure, and you should have backups anyway.
    To help determine the possible causes of this behaviour read the following. None of what follows is intended to fix anything, but it will provide the additional information required to advance troubleshooting:
    Boot OS X Recovery by holding ⌘ and r (two fingers) while you start your Mac. At the Mac OS X Utilities screen, select Disk Utility. Select your startup volume (usually named "Macintosh HD") and click the Repair Disk button. Describe any errors it reports in red.
    When it finishes restart your Mac and test again for operation. If it's still not behaving as you expect it should, please post the results of EtreCheck in accordance with the following instructions:
    Apple Support Communities contributor etresoft wrote a very useful app to quickly gather certain system information that may help point to a cause of this problem. Go to his website, download and run EtreCheck:

    Etrecheck will be in your Downloads folder. Open it from there. You may see the following dialog box:
    Click Open - etresoft contributes to this forum frequently and can be considered a trustworthy developer.
    It will take a moment to run as it collects its data.
    Copy and paste its output in a reply.

    EtreCheck was designed to remove any personal information (such as your computer's name and serial numbers) but if you see anything that looks like an email address or any other personal information that should not be divulged to others, please delete or obscure that information when you post the reply.
    When you are finished with EtreCheck, quit the program. It occupies very little space, and you can keep it or drag it to the Trash as you wish.
    After completing the above please determine if the problems also occur in "Safe Mode":
    Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
    You must disable FileVault before you can start your Mac in Safe Mode.
    Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
    Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
    To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.

  • I have Mac OS 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.10. Can I update the OS and the browser?

    I have Mac OS 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.10. Can I update the OS and the browser?
    thanks for your help

    Safari 5.1.10 is the latest version for OS X 10.6.8.
    If you meet the minimum requirements, you can upgrade to OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) for free. Mavericks comes with Safari 7
    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

  • I have iMac version 10.7.5 can i update to Mavericks 10.9.2 ?

    I have iMac version 10.7.5 can i update to Mavericks 10.9.2 ?

    Your MBP qualifies for the upgrade to OS X Mavericks.
    It would be very prudent and highly advisable that you create a viable backup of your entire system and all your important data before embarking on a major systems upgrade.
    Backup your entire system using an externally connected hard drive using a data cloning app such as Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper to create an identical and bootable  copy (clone) of your entire Mac's system to an external hard drive.
    This needs to be done in the event something unforeseen goes bad with the install or you simply do not like the new OS.
    Failure to backup means a much more tedious, longer and arduous task and process to restore your Mac to its previous system and health if you decide there are too many issues that may or may not occur during the install or during general operation.
    Good Luck!

  • Can't update to Maverick when everything is updated

    I just updated to Snow Leopard but, can't update to Maverick.  I got my macbook in May of 2008.  I have the space on my hard drive for the update so I'm not sure what else to look for in my computer to make sure it's ready for the update.  I double checked for more softward updates for my computer after the Snow Leopard installation and updated whatever that was suggested to me.  That still didn't allow me to get Maverick to install.

    I just found that it was in my launchpad (little rocket icon on dock) on page 2 (who knew there were more pages!) and it was paused.  Problem solved!
