Can't install new mouse, ipad or ipod due to old OS X version

I have a 2008 imac 7.1 with OS X 10.4.11 and I can't install my new mouse, ipad or ipod because it requires new version of OS. Then I try to find a new update and it says I have the latest update!!! How do I get the newer OS X versions?

Intel (anything below Core2Duo) can go as high as Snow Leopard.  You need 1 GB memory.
Core2Duo can go as high as Lion, but you need 2 GB memory.
You can buy a SnowLeopard disk at Apple online Store (NOT downloadable) and just install it straight as a new install (probably better) or "force upgrade 2 steps past Leopard" on top of Tiger.
Make a VERY good backup, preferrably a bootable clone, before doing this though, as a host of things *can* go wrong (nor common, but they do happen).

    You won't be able to update to 4.3. Depending on which version you have, you may be able to upgrade to 4.2.1. Check out the Apple articles below for info.

  • Can't Install New Apps

    I can't install new applications to my iPod Touch. I've restored the iPod, reset both it and the computer but it still won't work. The unknown error code is 0xE8000050.

    You may want to test with a different free app. Also try to restart the device, and try to sign out then back in the iPhone.
    Turn off Cellular data as that won't work if it's a huge app.

  • How can I install iOS 7 on my iPod touch 4th gen?

    How can I install iOS 7 on my iPod touch 4th gen?

    You can't
    . As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

  • I can not install new update in Photoshop CC, does any one know, how I can install the new update?

    I can not install new update in Photoshop CC, does any one know, how I can install the new update?
    Photoshop CC show me, if I look on "Help" -> Update, there is no update. But my actual license is very old....
    I tried it, to do it manual. But there is also some problem.

    totally agree.  at this point i could care less if "apple" supports it.  i'm not renting my ipod touch, it's mine.  i paid for it.  and i'm not asking to do anything illegal with it, all i want is to get rid of this POS ios6 and get back to being able to use my ipod touch the way it was before...working. 

  • Since 28th December I can't  install new apps and can't  update my newspaper. How can this problem be solved?

    I can't update my newspaper "Welt HD", nor can I install new apps from the app store.
    When I try to install an app, only new Icon shows up and is showing "waiting" forever. When I tried to update my newspaper, it only shows "loading" forever.
    When my iPad connects to the W-LAN, for a sudden I have IP Traffic in downstream. When I turn off my iPad, the traffic goes away.
    I tried to turn off and reset my iPad several times with no result.
    Many thanks for all tips,
    Regards

    The problem is solved by using backup from iCloud.

  • I can't install new software update!

    I can't install new software update! for my Nokia 6500 slide.
    when install the new software on to my laptop, Vista home premium, service pack one.
    It give me this error "error 2738 could not access VBScript run time for cutom action".??????
    Can anyone help me please?
    How **bleep**.

    Impossible to say without more details other than "I can't install". If you'll post full details, including whether you're attempting to update from the iPad directly or from iTunes on a computer, where things are breaking down, what error messages if any you're getting, and any other details pertinent to your issue, then someone can perhaps offer suggestions.
    Regards.

  • Can i set up my iPad and iPod to use iMessage between the two devices with the same Apple ID?

    Can i set up my iPad and iPod to use iMessage between the two devices with the same Apple ID? SO i could iMessage if out from my iPod to my iPad at home to be viewed by a family member?

    Look into using Apple Configurator.  It's the easiest way to "reimage" and Manage iPads that I know of right now.

    Also, look into using the Educational Volume Purchase Program, if you have not already done so.

  • How can I install new windows on NB200-10z without a CD drive?

    Hi,
    I have a mini laptop "Toshiba nb200-10z" and it doesnt startup anymore.
    I would like to do a recovery, but it also doesnt work.
    I know there is a shortcut like press the 0 button when the laptop is starting up.
    With this shortcut you can start the recovery to reset the software.
    But when I press the 0 button it gives me an error.
    So I think the recovery drive/partition is lost.
    How can I install new windows on this minilaptop without a CD drive?

    I have found a much easier way to install Windows 7 from a USB Flash drive. Unlike other methods where you have to write complicated commands, this method can be completed even by those who have very little computer background.
    The whole process takes only two steps, run UNetbootin, load the Windows 7 ISO file, and finally restart your computer.
    Before you begin, you will require the following:
    USB Flash Drive (4GB minimum)
    Windows 7 ISO Image file
    UNetbootin
    Note: If UNetbootin doesnt work, try out the Microsofts official tool called Windows 7 USB/DVD Tool.
    Now insert the USB drive, run UNetbootin, and select Disk Image as ISO. Browse your local drive for Windows 7 ISO that you downloaded and click Open. Now Select Type as USB and choose the drive. Once done, it will look like a bit similar to the screenshot shown below.
    Click OK and it will begin extracting all installation files to the USB drive. The whole process will take some time (10-15 minutes), so have patience.
    Once the installation is complete, reboot your computer. Now while your system is starting up press the appropriate button (usually F1, F2, F12, ESC, Backspace, or Escape) to bring up Bios Boot Menu.
    Change the startup order to boot USB by default, usually you will have to press F6 to move the selected USB device on top. Once done, save changes and restart the system.

  • Can any one tell me how to install flash player on powerbookg4.i actully uninstall it to upgrade it but now i can not install new one.it always says get flash player for powerpc when i try to install it after downloading.it is 10.5.8 version

    Flash Player version 10.1.102.64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users. However, this Flash version won't work for many videos on Facebook, YouTube and other sites. Adobe's latest version, 10.2.x or later, is only for Intel Macs. Adobe will not provide a newer Flash version for PPC Macs.
    The message requesting that you download Adobe Flash Player takes you to Flash Player requiring an Intel processor. Doesn't work on a PowerPC processor. I found a hack, installed it & it works with Firefox, TenFourFox & Safari.
    Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.
