Can Macos x 10.5.8 have free Mac os x 10.6?
DEar friends
is it possible to have MAc os x 10.6 from MAcos x 10.5.8's software update?
otherwise in case i buy it do you where i can find instructions for how not to confuse the operating systems in one computer..? i am quite new in computers... in general
thanks in advance.
then upgrading to 10.6.2 and so on will be free. right?
Correct, at least based on Apple's policy to date. For Mac OS X, Apple charges for major releases -e.g. 10.4, 10.5, 10.6 - but all minor releases - in this case 10.6.1, 10.6.2, etc. - are made available for free. So unless Apple makes a major shift in policy, all upgrades to Mac OS X 10.6 will be free until such time as Apple releases a "Mac OS X 10.7", whenever that might occur.
which one you find better? is there a big difference?
I'm quite happy with Mac OS X 10.6, but I don't find it a large difference from Mac OS X 10.5. 10.6 provides refinements but not major new features. You may want to look at the new features:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/refinements/
and see if the improvements are sufficiently compelling for you. Also look at the software and peripherals you run to see if any of those might need to upgraded for compatibility with 10.6 and if so there would be a cost involved. If there is a cost, that might affect your decision.
Regards.

Please can you help me? I have a Mac Book Pro with OS X 10.7.4 and my FaceTime doesn't open anymore. It appears this sentence:"the server detected an error during the elaboration of the registration. Please try later". What happens??

Your computer will always recognise you iPhone somehow.
regarding iTunes you can plugin the iPhone, select it on the left end side of iTunes and go into the summary pan and you have the option to open or not automatically iTunes.
Regarding being recognised as a camera, you have an app called image capture, open it and on the bottom left conner you have the option to open iPhoto, image capture or none.
Hope that helps.
Now if you cannot sync with iTunes that's another issue.

I downloaded a song that stops at 1:04 and jumps to the next song, as if it's over. This song was in the middle of several songs, but this is the only one that is incomplete. Can I download this song again for free, or do I have to purchase again?
If you live in a Region that allows re-downloading Music...
Delete the Song(s) and re-download...

Why can't I download OS X Mavericks? The download option is malfunctioning. I already checked that my mac version can have free upgrade. I click download, but it just doesnt do anything. I went to purchase tab, clicked "download" next to the app but still nothing happens. It's not internet problem because everything else on the app store works. The only thing not working is Mavericks downloading and I don't know why. Please help.
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
Since Mavericks requires 8GB's or more of free disk space, control click the MacintoshHD icon on your desktop or open the Finder, right or control click startup disk in the Sidebar on the left then click Get Info.
You'll see Available and Capacity. Make sure there's at least 15% available disk space.
If installed, disable anti virus software before downloading Mavericks. -
I want to transcribe one audio file of a lecture into text. I don't have a need for extended use so can anyone recommend how to do this free? Thanks
Mike,
I was successful, in a test I just conducted, to get Siri to record your problem statement in a Note file on the iPod as I used the Edit > Speech feature in Safari to play the text. I don't see why dictation wouldn't work as well. Why not give it a try?
If you don't have an iOS device to try this with, you could write your audio file to a CD and use an external player to get audio to the Mac.

when i want to set up icloud on my iphone, it tells "can not sign in maximum number of free acounts have been activated on this iphone" what can i do now?!
You won't be able to create a new iCloud account on your phone as the maximum number of accouts have already been created. Your only options are to either re-use one of the accounts previously created or create a new account to use on a different iOS device or Mac (running OS X 10.7.2 or higher), if you have one.

i have 3 macs can i download it 3 times for free?
You need to pay once; as long as the other Macs are registered with the same ID at the store, yes you can use it on the others.

MY DOWNLOAD KEEPS FREEZING AND I HAVE TO KEEP BUYING IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN. IT'S WASTING MY MONEY. I HAVE NOW RENTED MY MOVIE 4 TIMES AND IT STILL WON'T FINISH DOWNLOADING. WHY CAN'T I GET THE RENTAL FOR FREE IF IT KEEPS DOING THIS? CAN YOU PLEASE HELP? THANK YOU.
Please turn off your caps lock. All caps indicates shouting, is considered rude and is difficult to read. Many will not read such posts.
If it doesn't finish downloading then just click Store>Check For Available Downloads
There is no need to keep re-buying it. -
iTunes says I have over 9GB free but when I sync it says I can't as i don't have enough storage and need another 1.3GB! it's driving me mad!! help!!
Check carefully. Perhaps you are trying to copy 9 GB plus 1.3 GB for a total of 10.3 GB. That would give you the message you see.

There's no way to delete all message threads at one go. You can however do one contact thread at a time.
In Messages app where you see a list of messages from different contacts, tap Edit (top left), tap the red (on the left), then tap the red Delete button on the right. -
Wanna use boot camp and have 19gb free. Assistant tells me I can't since I need to have at least 10gb free. Anyone knows what's happening? tks a lot!
You need to free up disk space before creating a Windows partition. To see how much free space there is on the startup disk, right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you have a minimum of 15% free disk space.
