Can't get updates on Mac OSX 10.5.8

I have a Mac version 10.5.8. A year and a half ago I stopped getting software updates. How can I start getting them again? Whenever I do the check, the updater tells me there are no updates. I know there must be. How can I get around this? I think it has something to do with Firefox no longer being "safe." I just switched to Safari, but still no updates. Help. I can't get latest versions of Java that I need for some banking needs.

No further Apple updates are being made for Mac OS X 10.5.8; few third-party updates are compatible with it either. The next step is to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.

Can't get updates from Mac App Store

I changed my password. Now, I can't get updates to apps bought using the old PW. Error msg: "Download using your other account." What "other" account? Change back to the old PW and download the upgrades, then go back to the new PW?

After I reset my password, Mac App Store told me to sign in to my account and verify that I had a valid method of payment set up. Naturally, I do have such a method. But Done does't work because I have to verify an account that, according to MY Account, is already verified. But, what the hey? Apple has my back against the wall. I re-verify it. Apple says, "Account verified. Return to App Store."
Nothing has changed. I verify my MOP again. I get the same good news.
Nothing has changed. I give up for the night..
Today, I open up Mail. Two messages from Apple. Each says that my account has been de-authorized. That is, each time that I "verified" my MOP, I was, somehow, actually DE-verifying it!
So, I set up a new MOP with no apparent probs, except that,
MOP?!!! What MOP?! !'ve ALREADY PAID! What does it matter whether I have an MOP, if I'm not BUYING anything?!!! But, what are you going to do?
All right. I've now completely redone everything, including deleting App Store with Amnesia and doing a whole 'nother install.
I try to download an update.
You have updates available for other accounts.
To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it.
I have a single account. I've never had any other. I have fifteen (15!) apps waiting to be updated.
As far as I can tell, the trouble started after I put in a new password - before I knew that I was going to have a problem - after having used the old one from the opening of the MAS. Everything that had an update from after that date is updated. The fifteen non-updatables are from before the password change.
Thank you for trying.

Can't get back into Mac OSX 10.4.11 after having to hard boot the system

Greetings. I have a rather quirky iMac PPC G5 with now 2G of Ram and a 2.0 chip. This issue has happened several times, the most recent was today. If the computer locks up or has a kernel panic and I have to just turn it off and then back again...I get a grey screen for a long time with the arrows in a circle, then the fans go high speed and that's it. It doesn't boot into MacOS. I am using 10.4.11 and have an ATI Radeon card. I always have to use Disk Warrior (bless them) to rebuild the drive. Sometimes nothing has changed, other times it will say a startup value has changed. Why would this happen? I suppose I could reboot from the MacOS disk, because the process can take over 2 hours using Disk Warrior. Any ideas on the cause and the cure would be most appreciated. Many thanks. Debbie

When a computer isn't shut down properly the file system can be left in an unstable state. It is very common to be left in a situation where corruption of the directories etc occurs in such cases. Files aren't properly "closed", directory extents may be incorrect, etc. This matters much more with "modern" operating systems like OSX than it did, for example, with early versions of Windows etc.
That is the reason that I was wondering what was causing your kernel panics, forced shutdowns etc. After such events one should really ALWAYS rebuild the directories anyway, even if it WILL restart. Not doing so can lead to corruption that doesn't become evident until further down the track, causing things like freezes and panics of the type you experience.
If you experience such things regularly you should really try to track down the cause of the "freezes", rather than looking for ways to avoid having to rebuild directories.
That said, one way to reduce the impact of such things to some extent is to make sure that your have "journaling" turned on for your HD. Open up Disk Utility , select your HD boot volume (the "volume", not the 'disk" - the volume will be immediately below the HD, but indented a little to the right), and see if the "format" is given as Mac OS Extended (journaled). If not , look under the "File" menu in Disk Utility and you should see an option to "enable journalling". If it is grayed out you may need to hold down the "option" key to access it.
Journaling improves the ability of the drive to "self correct" after a crash by keeping additional records of file states and locations etc.
Cheers

HT1569 How can I download updates on Mac OSX, Version 10.7 1?

I have Mac OS X Version 10.7 1. Every time I try to update my software, I get this message: Downloading 5 items; Downloading Mac OS X Update Combined; 21.6 MB of 1.99 GB about 11,000 hours. However, nothing seems to download. Everything stays at 1%, and I have the computer on all day. I changed the energy setting to ensure the laptop stays awake and never goes to sleep. This way the laptop could stay connected to the internet and continue downloading. However, it’s not working. Please help.

Find the incomplete download (it's in your Downloads folder) and drag it to the Trash.
The computer should not go to sleep while a download is active, but if network activity stalls for a long time it might.
Try downloading the Lion Combined Update directly from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1484

I updated my Mac osx to the 10.4.7 combo and now I can not start my ibook G

I updated my mac osx to the new 10.4.7 combo and now my ibook will not restart it goes to the spinning wheel under the apple and stays there and later powers off. I tried going in in single user mode and running fsck because I dont have the utility disk but the reponse i got was- Invalid sibling link (4, 2362) **Volume check failed and a many Incorrect block count for file_____I dont know what else to do please help me.

Ok thanks I will get the 10.4.6 tomorrow but do I definatley need one of the others they are 100$? Will reinstalling do the trick, maybe.
I did use my mac while it was updating, im zero at this and it did not warn me and I always use my mac while i downloading things. I also had my isight plugged in maybe that was not good as well.
Never even thought I had to repair the drive before updating. now i know and knowing is half the battle.
Do you mean I should back up now with a firewire drive or I should have done so before updating? I tried to access my hard drive through firewire with my sisters ibook but had no luck I followed the direction on the apple pages but I dont know why I couldnt get it.
What is an erase w/ zero-all 7-way write? Im sorry like I said im zero at this.

Isight updater with mac osx 10.4...help!

Hi
I'm trying to download the updater and i got this error message
This update does not work with Mac OS X 10.4 or later
is there anything i can do? ive just worked out that after 6 ipods not working over 3 yrs...technical support have just told me to unplug isight from my imac and the ipod worked! crazy, but to use it while ipod is connected i need to update the software if anyone can pls help?
thankyou
sophie

Hello Sophie,
Which update are you trying to download? Can you paste a link to it?
I am confused because your title says "isight updater with mac osx 10.4...help!", but your system info shows that you are using Mac OS X (10.3.8).
If you have Mac OS X 10.4.x, all needed iSight updaters are installed.
If you are trying to use iSight simultaneously with a Firewire-connected iPod, the iPod may be inducing a conflict. See the Possible hardware or software conflicts with iSight. FAQ for more info.
I do not use iPod. You will get better help with your iPod questions at your other post of this same question: my 6th ipod finally works....guess how?!!!

See:
Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.

Hey i have a old powerbook G4 laptop and i was wondering where can i download the OS ( Mac OSX 10.5.8 Build ( 9L30 ) to do a fresh install my system is running really slow is there any place where i can down load this OS?

Hey i have a old powerbook G4 laptop and i was wondering where can i download the OS ( Mac OSX 10.5.8 Build ( 9L30 ) to do a fresh install my system is running really slow is there any place where i can down load this OS?

Hello,
Unfortunately Apple do not offer a download for mac OS X 10.5.8. They will only provide updates available for download. ( Normally you would do so once the OS is installed)
To do a fresh install of this software your going to need to buy a retail copy of the disk.
There are some vendors who do still stock the media disk, but they can be expensive.
Best of luck.

Photoshop CS5 crashes when trying to print. I recently updated to Mac OSX Mavericks. Help?

Photoshop CS5 crashes when trying to print. I recently updated to Mac OSX Mavericks. Help?

Hi, Chris. Thanks for giving this query a look. I have the same problem. All documents print on my HP Deskjet 932C except Photoshop files since I updated to Mavericks.
My CS5 version is 9.0 x64. Mavericks is 10.9.4.
I checked the HP drivers and HP doesn't have one for OS X newer than 10.4.
I tried printing out the detailed report (very long!) and this page rejected the reply as spam. Can we provide the text as an attachment?

Trying to update from Mac OSX 10.7.2 to 10.7.4 via the Updater. Update Not Verified?

Trying to update from Mac OSX 10.7.2 to 10.7.4 via the Updater. Getting a message half way through the download stating the updated "could not be verified. It may have been corrupted during downloading." Any ideas for picking up the latest Update?
Uploading screenshot.... any advice appreciated.
Matt

Either try redownloading or try downloading the standalone updater: OS X Lion Update 10.7.4 (Client Combo).
Such errors may be caused by glitches in your Internet connection or because of hard drive problems. I suggest you try the following:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
