Can't update to Mac OS 10.4.4 and others

what up,
It seem I can't update to Mac OS 10.4.4. Whenever I'm installing 10.4.4 I keep getting the message "There were errors installing the software" and "Please try installing again". I'm not sure what's going on but now I can't update to Quicktime, iTunes, iPod Updater, and others.
Can anyone help with this problem. I would really appreciate it.

Check your machine's actual specifications here.
It looks like you can support up to 3 MByte in a 17" iMac and up to 4 Mbyte in a 20" iMac, if your cache size coordinates with the specs on the linked page.
OWC says you should be able to put 4 Gbyte into your machine here. Wherever you get the memory, it would be a good addition. This is the Apple Store listing for your machine, as near as I can figure it.

HOW CAN I UPDATE MY MAC OS X 10.6.8 TO GET ICLOUD?

Open the Mac App Store and try purchasing Mountain Lion. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, and if the computer has a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and at least 2GB of RAM, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion.

Just updated to Mac OS 10.7.3 and each time I attempt to open Firefox I receive the message; "Firefox quit unexpectedly". Can't use FF!

Just updated to Mac OS 10.7.3 and each time I attempt to open Firefox I receive the message; "Firefox quit unexpectedly". Can't use FF! Repeated attempts to open FF result in the same message.
Downloaded FF again and the same message occurs.
Safari, of course, works but that is not my choice.

Hey b00m3r,
Have you tried starting Firefox in Safe Mode? Hold down "shift" while Firefox is starting up. If the crash doesn't happen in Safe Mode, you should read [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]].
There is also a lot of useful stuff in the [[Firefox crashes]] Knowledge Base article. If you've recently upgraded, you might want to check out [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/latest-firefox-issues#w_firefox-crashes-when-i-start-it this article] as well.
Hopefully this helps!

HT201343 Can I update my Mac to support airplay mirroring?

Can I update my Mac to support airplay mirroring?

P.S. Forgot to mention you might try a 3rd party application called AirParrot. I have never tried it but it was developed to let you mirror from Mac's that don't meet the hardware requirements.
Good Luck

Can I update a Mac 10.5.8 to 10.6 or later

can I update a Mac 10.5.8 to 10.6 or later????

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a PowerPC Mac, no.
If it's a Core Duo Mac, click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update.
If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, upgrade it as if it was a Core Duo Mac, and once done, if desired, open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, go to the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC software such as Microsoft Office 2004. If you upgrade the OS, back up the computer first.

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is 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 bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether further updates are required.
You should now see the App Store icon, and you now need to set up your account:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
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:

im using macbook pro ,my version is mac os x 10.4.11 and i cant update anything. how can i update my mac,plzzzz i need a quick answer.

check that your current Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Specs:
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If it does... then you need to Purchase the Snow Leopard Disc and Install it.
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
Would Also Recommend that you do a Bootable Clone Backup of your current Hard Drive Before attempting any Major Upgrade...
By far the easiest way to make a Backup, is to use something like
SuperDuper http://www.shirt-pocket.com/
or CCC http://www.bombich.com/

HT1338 I need to upate my Imac 10.5.8. If i buy the new mountain lion can I update my mac?

I need to update my 2009 Imac which has the operating system Mac Os x 10.5.8. If I buy the mountain Lion update can I update my mac? Also will I loose any of my programs or files? Or is there an update where I can use new Adobe programs?

1. It isn't possible to buy Mountain Lion from Mac OS X 10.5.8 or to use it to directly upgrade a 10.5.8 system. Upgrading to Mac OS X 10.6, which is available in the online Apple Store, must be done first.
2. Noting #1, no; back up the content anyway. If you choose to erase the partition before installing Mac OS X 10.8 on it, yes.
3. It depends on what the requirements for them are.

You can upgrade to Snow Leopard v10.6 if your Mac meets Snow Leopard's requirements.
Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard - Technical Specifications
Keep in mind, Snow Leopard is no longer available from the Apple online store.
You will need to contact Apple > 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273)

If you have a G3, no. If you have a G4 or G5, purchase Mac OS X 10.5 on DVD from a source such as Amazon.
