Can't update from 10.0.0 to 10.2.8 as screen freezes and computer locks up

Can't update to 10.2.8 as screen freezes and computer locks up when using Pref/view/update/10.2.8 100 meg combo update. I have to wipe disk and reinstall 10.2.0
I can't find a stand alone combo that works with 10.2.0 - indeed I can not find any update for 10.2.0. I do find discussions of the 10.2.1 and 10.2.2 updates, and once one has 10.2.2 there is a combo to get to 10.2.8.
What is the solution - by the way I like 10.2.0 better than prior 9.2.2, and do not mind having to wipe disk and lose 9.2.2. But my wavelan 16 bit wireless PCMIA card, indeed any airport card, no longer is recognized. Indeed I can't find Airport. This is a 10 year old computer and files/docs etc are long gone (but life was good until I decided to move to X this month). How do I correct this lack of wireless (it does connect directly to my Ethernet line so getting on the web is no problem)?

Hello papau. Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You could try the 10.2.6 combo as that will install on 10.2
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=70174
and then 10.2.8 which requires 10.2.6 can be downloaded here.

Run Repair Permissions in Disk Utility, found in Applications/Utilities/ before you start and once again when you finish.
During the installation process, just wait till the system completes things and not use any other applications until the update is finished.

  • Can calendar entries from an iPhone be pushed up to the cloud for iPad and computer updating? My phone only seems to be receiving updates from the cloud, but not able to send them.

    Can calendar entries from an iPhone be pushed up to the cloud for iPad and computer updating? My phone only seems to be receiving updates from the cloud, but not able to send them.

    Under Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars, What do you have set for the Default Calendar? Personal?
    If you don't have it set to a Cloud Calendar it will only create the entry locally.   You would need to select the iCloud Calendar specifically when creating the Calendar entry to have it sync.
    Otherwise set your default calendar to be the iCloud Calendar so all entries are created there by default. And as such get synced to other devices.

    If you just got it back and it isn't fixed or something else is wrong with it take it back and have them do the repair correctly.

  • Can't update from version 3.6 to any newer versions? Firefox freezes or closes with any version past 3.6!

    Firefox freezes or closes with any version past 3.6! Have tried various suggestions from online support. I am using Windows XP Professional with all updates, Norton Security Suite, V5.1.0.2 updated. I am using Comcast. The following add-ons are installed in Firefox:DowloadHelper4.9.7, ExtendedCopyMenu(fixed version)1.6.1c and NoScript.
    I tried installing V8.1 and it would either freeze or close. I have tried opening it in safe mode but Firefox would not open.
    I have gone into the registry, removed all Mozilla and Firefox entries and reinstalled 8.1. Didn't make any difference. I really, really don't want to go back and start using IE.
    Is this an issue for anyone else or just my computer which is about a year old? Sure would appreciate any help.
    Regards,
    Paleo

    I can't... 10.6.1 says "Mac OS X update can't be installed on this disk. This volume does not meet the requirements of this update"  and any subsequent update attempt says it "requires version [before this one] or later"
              >  your driver software isn't compatible with 10.6.8

              I had a problem recently with this (for my main user account only) and fixed it (I can't remember how!).
              But I should mention that I tried installing the 10.6.1 update from my other user accounts on this Mac
              with the same result.
              > or the PRAM battery needs replacing
              How do I check that? Is that the little watch-type battery that G3 Macs used to have?
    I should also add that I tried one of the malware scan sites mentioned on this forum and it returned 'no virus found'.

  • Can I update from a 10.6.8 to a 10.7 on my MacPro?

    can I update from a 10.6.8 to a 10.7 on my MacPro?

    Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
    Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

  • HT6114 can i update from os 10.4.11 easily?

    can i update from os 10.4.11 easily?

    What Mac have you got and its specification? I take it you mean OS X not IOS?
    Are the applications you use compatible with Mavericks or are they upgradeable (at perhaps a cost)?
    Are your peripherals compatible with Mavericks?
    You will need to do some research and at least check the above, I think you may find it difficult to upgrade easily or at all from 10.4.11 but it depends on the questions I have put and perhaps some more?
    Post the details of your Mac and its spec and we can start from there.

  • Can i update from os x 10.5.8 to mountain lion

    can i update from os x 10.5.8 to mountain lion

    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    OS 10.6 Snow Leopard is once again available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
    To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
    You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (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), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

  • Can't update from os x 10.3.9, need to update to latest v.

    Need to up date because i'm installing final cut studio. can any one gide me? please.

    Juan:
    No, you can't update from Panther to Tiger, you need to install a completely new OS.
    To install Tiger your computer will need to meet the minimum system requirements for Tiger.
    You will need to purchase the Full Retail version of Tiger. Be aware that Computer specific or upgrade versions should be avoided since they are optimized for the computer to which they are specific and will therefore very likely cause problems during or after installation. On the legal side, it may be a violation of the Software License Agreement which statesThis License allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on a single computer at a time. This License does not allow the Apple Software to exist on more than one computer at a time...
    Tiger can be purchased from the Apple Store or, on CDs, from applerescue.
    If your computer meets the minimum system requirements for Tiger but does not have a DVD drive here are your options:
    1. If you already own Tiger on DVD
    *The Apple Media Exchange Program
    *Use an external Firewire DVD Drive.
    *Use Firewire Target Disk Mode
    Take a look at the article Installing Tiger without a DVD drive which describes these procedures.
    2. If you don’t already own Tiger on DVD
    *Purchase Tiger on CDs from applerescue
    Please post back with specific questions or comments.
    Good luck.

  • How do I keep my installer from trying to update with Photoshop instead of installer? Quark can't update because the installer opens Photoshop which doesn't recognize the file and I'm not given the option to choose anything else.

    1. Sync wasn't intended to be used in that manner. You would be better off carrying around a USB Flash Stick with Portable Firefox for use on "strange" PC's.
    2. You could open the "Library" {Ctrl + Shift + B} and highlight all those bookmarks and then delete them all at once. But that would also delete all the other bookmarks, and it isn't foolproof. All another person would need to do it to '''''restore''''' a bookmark backup file that has your bookmarks. Beyond that, a new Profile could be created and then the current Profile deleted; but that's "messing with" someone else's computer - an action that is worthy of terminating a friendship over, IMO.
    And if that "public" computer was set up properly, Sync should have been disabled.

  • I can't update from 10.5.8. HELP!

    I can't update from 10.5.8. Every time i click on Software Update the little bar just goes about a quarter, and stops. Then it says my connection timed out, even though it's perfect. HELP

    You need to go to SL first, Lion download builds on SL 10.6.6 and above.
    Best approach is to order SL, which will be someting like 10.6.3, and then do the on-line (free) update to 10.6.8 using the single Combo updater.  Then download Lion from the app store for $29 (US)...when you do that, make a copy of the Lion installer in a separate location (downloads to Applications) since it will delete itself after installing.  Since it is 4 GB you don't want to download again if you need it.  That is legal since you buy once and can download again without extra charge.
