Can't seem to upgrade to Mavericks

I am on OS X 10.7.5. I want to install X Code 5 but I am prompted that I need at least OS X 10.8.4.
When I go to upgrade to 10.8.4, I am told that I need to upgrade to OS X server version 3 first.
When I go to upgrade to OS X server version 3 I am told I need at least OS X 10.9.
Any suggestions for trying to end this infinite loop?

GREAT....THANK YOU BobRz...
a window opened up when I was looking at your answer
or maybe I clicked on your answer in blue
and then I could click on
"install Mavericks"
after 70 min loading it all seems to be working
This is my first computer...bought it 3 years ago
Thank God for people like you.
A thousand thanks would not be enough.
You saved the day

  • Flash Player integrated with Windows 8 has stopped working...can't seem to upgrade to newer version Flash Player ?

    One day watched videos with no problem.  Next day, can't watch videos!  Site says I need Flash 10.0 or higher.  When I try to check what version I have, it says that Flash player is integrated with Windows 8, no need to install Flash Player.  I am thinking that there are newer versions of Flash Player than what is integrated with Windows 8, but it's like I'm going around in circles, can't seem to upgrade to a newer version.

    First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:

    Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
    You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

  • I have Mac OS X 10.6.8 on macbook. can and should I upgrade to mavericks 10.9.2

    I have Mac OS X 10.6.8 on macbook. can and should I upgrade to mavericks 10.9.2

    Can you:
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 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 Mavericks- System Requirements
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             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.
    Should you upgrade is your decision. If you don't need the advanced features of Mavericks, then there is no reason to upgrade. If you don't use applications that require Mavericks to upgrade, then you don't need to upgrade.
    Note that beyond Snow Leopard you won't be able to run PPC-only applications such as Office 2004.

    Google 'Perian' and 'Flip4Mac' — these are the extensions that will make QT play other file formats.
    However, a simpler solution is just to abandon QT in favour of the free, open-source player VLC, which plays just about everything natively without further downloads.
    Download the free VLC Player from here:

    Plays just about everything, including avi & mpg, without add ons.

  • I can't seem to upgrade to snow leopard 10.6.8 from 10.5.8

    Trying to update to Mountain Lion on a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo (with 5GB of RAM) running on Snow Leopard 10.5.8.  Update info on the Mounain Lion states 10.6.8 is needed.  Looked for the update wtih software update function but nothing comes up for the OS update...  Is the hardware too old for the latest Snow Leopard and Moutain Lion update?

    You mean "Leopard" which is 10.5, Snow Leopard is 10.6
    Update info on the Mountain Lion states 10.6.8 is needed.
    Correct
    Looked for the update with software update function but nothing comes up for the OS update...
    You need the 10.6.3 white retail disk, (you'll have to call Apple, it's not sold online anymore) or use Amazon or a Mac site to buy it.
    Then you need to Software update to 10.6.8.
    Is the hardware too old for the latest Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion update?
    Your 10.5 era issued hardware is too old for 10.7 or 10.8, even if it meets the specifications., it won't run your older software.
    Not for 10.6 though, that would be a good update for your machine, it will run your older PPC based software, perhaps with just a update, plus provide a graphics performance boost.
    In my opinion it's simply a waste of money to buy all new software for a machine on 10.7 or 10.8  that's at it's end of life stage, only to have it run slow if it does.
    Plus a lot of the hardware features like Airdrop and Mirroring are only for Early 2011 machines and later.
    See this, all the links and information is there, make a smart decision.
    Things to consider before upgrading OS X
    If your 10.6 upgrade doesn't go right or you suffer a performance slowdown, you can choose to do a fresh install or a clone/reverse clone method to boost performance.
    The fresh install requires a backup and reinstall of programs and files, the clone/reverse clone method doesn't.

  • I can't seem to upgrade to iMovie 10 so I planned to delete the old and buy a new but I can't seem to delete?

    I upgraded my Mac pro to Maverick and the new Imovie program was just a challange. So when a ungrade was offered I tried but was refused a window stating that imovie was not ID with this computer? I am not sure what that means ...non the less I thought i wouldn't fight it and just delete the program and purchase a new one. Could anyone help with the deleting process of imovie?

  • I can't seem to upgrade from iTunes 10.3 to iTunes 10.5 after installing Lion

    Does anybody know who to upgrade from iTunes 10.3 to 10.5 after upgrading to Lion.  It's not working for me.  Always stay at 10.3, can't upgrade iPhone to IOS 5.  Help!!

    You need to use the combo updater in order to make the jump directly to 10.2.8. If you are using the incremental updater it won't work.
    Instead of downloading the updater I suggest you use Software Update to update your computer. In addition to the combo updater you will probably need some additional updates. Software Update will list all the updates you need, download them and install them automatically for you.
    Before you do the updates, however, be sure to do the following:
    Boot from your OS X Installer. Be sure to use the installer for the version of OS X you have installed. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (or Utilities menu if using Tiger.) After DU loads select your OS X volume from the list on the left, 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 click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (3.0.3 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.0.6 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Do not update the computer until you have verified that the hard drive is OK and your permissions have been repaired.

  • I have macbook pro core 2 duo 2.33, why can't I upgrade to mavericks

    Can someone help?
    I read a list of models that can be upgraded to mavericks, macbook pro core 2 duo 2.2, 2.4  & a bunch of others can be upgraded, only the 2.33 is not on the list. why? what can I do to upgrade to mavericks? (my book meets the memory, space and software update requirement).
    thanks!!!

    Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes.
    You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
    You can now upgrade to Mavericks OS 10.9 for free IF you have one of the following Macs, with not less than 2GB of RAM, and at least 8GB of available space on your hard drive:
    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), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, 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)
    If you cannot run Mavericks you can purchase the code to use to download Lion from the App Store (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard):
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion

  • Do I need to reinstall MS Office 2011 after upgrading to Mavericks ?

    Hello,
    I have mid 2011 Mac Air. Do I need to reinstall MS Office 2011 after upgrading to Mavericks ?
    Curious to know before upgrading.

    You will at least need to apply the update. I believe that can be done before upgrading to Mavericks. If you have trouble, then as Tony T1 says, uninstall fully then reinstall, but I have had no issues o any of my Macs. Update applied to all.

  • After upgrading to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5 my shared photo streams seem to contain no photos when seen in iPhoto. From iPad the streams are fine. How can I get them to be recognized by iPhoto again?

    After upgrading to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5 my shared photo streams seem to contain no photos when seen in iPhoto. From iPad the streams are fine. How can I get them to be recognized by iPhoto again?

    Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
    and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
    Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

  • I tried to update my OS (Mountain lion) to mavericks, but i can't seem to download. There's a 'an error has occurred' in red beside the free upgrade bar.. what should i do?

    I tried to update my OS (Mountain lion) to mavericks, but i can't seem to download. There's a 'an error has occurred' in red beside the free upgrade bar.. what should i do?

    It's possible something has become corrupted in your AppStore cache folder. I had the same problem that occurred after I did a partial download, paused it, and attempted to restart it again later. Here's how I fixed my problem:
    Enable AppStore Debug menu:
    1. Quit AppStore completely.
    2. Run Terminal and enter the following on the command line: defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
    3. Restart the AppStore. You should see a new menu called "Debug".
    Clear the download cache:
    4. In AppStore, select Debug menu / Show Download Folder
    5. Quit AppStore completely, but leave download folder open
    6. In the download folder, select all files/folders, then delete them.
    7. Restart AppStore. You may need to sign in to your Apple account again.
    You may need to restart your computer to be able to delete the files from the trash.
    You can then try the download again.

  • Upgrading to Mavericks seems to have lost my windows 7 dual boot up capability.  How can I get it back?

    After having installed with Bootcamp windows 7 a couple years ago, upgrading to mavericks seems to have lost that capability despite windows being installed in its own partition.  How can I get this back?

    This was the scenario:
    The first time I updated, it was only my music that was lost.
    When I got my music back, I lost my apps.
    When I got my apps back, my contacts, notes and photos were lost.
    Now I got back everything except for my photos.
    (Yes, I restored from backup several times since the first update.)
    Do you think if I try restoring from back up, my photos that were taken from my ipod will be restored finally?
    Thank you.
