Can't update to the new calendar

I have now spent 4 hours today trying to get my iCal working - and I've been a Mac user since 1990.
I do have a calendar on Mobile Me -- calendar/old -whatever that is..
I have tried to update to the new calendar 4 times -- and I get an error message each time:
Your calendar upgrade for the new MobileMe Calendar couldn't finish because of a server error. Please try again.
Don't worry, no calendar data has been lost. However, you should wait until the upgrade is complete before setting up your other devices. Thank you for your patience.
Server error ???? Thanks, Apple -- that helps a lot.
I am so messed up with iCal today that I'm ready to shut down and look for a glass of something strong ....
I have a working calendar "On My Mac" -- called iCal
It does sync between 5 Macs and my iPad and 2 iPods ---
But - I also have a calendar called "Home" at [email protected] It is empty.
My first thought is to ignore [email protected] -- and just keep working with what works - iCal on my Mac. But - it has hundreds of duplicates of events - some of them from some old USA holiday calendar in the 90's -- and I get sync messages that tell me that sync is about to add another 2440 iCal events to each computer --- over and over again.
What a piece of crap - I hate iCal - and Mobile Me - and Me.Com -----
I'll call Apple on Monday and see if I can get some return for all the Apple Cares that I have paid for on everything.
This is not well engineered - or documented - or implemented - shame on Apple for doing this to me.

I have the same problem and no help from Apple

I am an Aperture user and I am tired of managing my old iphoto library seperately. In order to use the new combined aperture/iphoto abilities i need a newer version of iphoto. Apple says that the new iphoto is free, however my iphoto (version 8.1.2) did not update. How do i update iphoto so that i can use the library with Aperture?

iPhoto, iMovie and Garageband are free. However, you must be running Mavericks in order to download and use them. Mavericks is free also. Therefore your Mac must be capable of running Mavericks:
The following is from: Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mavericks.
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
iWork is not as it's an upgrade and not an update. Upgrades for iWork have always had to be purchased. However, the previous iWork apps will work fine with Mavericks.

Thanks for your help.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

How can I sync a new Iphone 4s with an old 10.4.11 OS mac that can't update to the new version of itunes?

I have a Mac OS 10.4.11 that can't update to the newest version of Itunes. It does not recognize my new Iphone 4s. Is there other any way I can sync my phone? Apple support recommended that I update my Itunes from 9.2 to the new version but it won't install.

You cannot use an iPhone 4S with iTunes 9; you must have iTunes 10.5 or later, and that will indeed not run on Mac OS X 10.4. You'll need to upgrade your computer's OS to at least Mac OS X 10.5.8.
If, as Allan requested, you tell us your specific model of Mac, we can tell you what options you would have as regards compatible OS X versions.
Regards.

HT1338 i can't update to the new Pages

i tried to update to the new Pages but it says Pages is installed on my computer and I have go to the update area But there is no option to update or upgrade there ?

The old Firefox is no longer supported and presumably no longer supported by your email service so there is not much we can do to help you. Itis of course totally insecure.
If you must attempt to use Fx3.6 have you tried zooming the page or trying to work out if there are any keyboard shortcuts available for the actions. You should contact your email provider's support site for help

Can't Update to the new Itunes+Quicktime package

I am trying to update to the new Itunes 10 + Quicktime package. The problem seems to lie with Quicktime. It fails every time. I tried to uninstall it, and it says "another installation is in progress" blah blah blah. This is even when I have just restarted my computer and have done nothing else. I followed the Apple troubleshoot which said to delete temp files, which I did and it still failed at installing. I'm not sure what else to do. I'm afraid to uninstall Itunes because I don't know if this has an effect on my music (will I lose it?)
Anyway, someone please help me I just got a new Ipod touch, and I want to use it and this is so frustrating!!
Thanks,
Allison

I get the same error message when I attempt to uninstall it "another program is being installed. Please wait until that installation is complete and then try installing this software again."
Okay ... checking on something else you said earlier:
Also, I checked on Windows Installer and it is running.
Actually, that one shouldn't be running if an install is not currently taking place. So let's check on Services.
In your Start Menu, right-click "Computer" and select "Manage".
Expand "Services and Applications".
Open "Services". Maximise the Window to see what is going on.
If the Windows Installer Service is running, stop the service.
Now right-click on the Service and select "Properties". In the general tab, make sure that "Startup type" is set to "Manual". OK out of the tab.
Restart the PC and try another install ... any better luck this time?

Can I update to the new FCPx without effecting my current project?

Stupidly, I updated my computer to Mavericks. However I'm halfway through an FCPx project and now I can't export it.
I'll get the new fcp x but will this effect my current project? Does it simply open in the updated version?
Thanks for your help.
(Why is it I always regret updating my apple products?)

You really need to answer this:
What are your complete computer specs?
The current version if 10.1.1. It will not effect your projects and events if they are updated correctly. You need to read about this.
http://www.fcpxbook.com/updates/101/
You also need to give your computer specs to see if there may be other problems going forward that will not make it possible.

I have an iphone 4 but can't update ios coz the phone has
No software update on general setings pls help i wanna download latest apps... Thank u

Your iOS version is probably too old to support software update. You must update using iTunes on your computer.
Make sure your iTunes on the computer is current. Plug your iPhone into iTunes. Let it sync. Then choose "Check for Updates..." from the iPhone's summary tab in iTunes. That should od it for you.

How can I update to the new version of Firefox if I have Linux Canaima 2.0?

Hi! I have a laptop acer and I have installed Linux Canaima 2.0.3, which is a debian distribution with some features of Ubuntu. I downloaded the new version of Firefox, but could not install because it tells me that there are certain dependencies with the old version and how to do to remove the previous version of browser and install the new one. Please I need your help. Thanks in advance.

Either you need to install those missing dependencies or install a more up to date Linux distro version that has more current packages and not ones that are probably from 4+ years ago being based on a long term support debian version.
There is a Canaima 3.0 which was released May 2011 for example. http://canaima.softwarelibre.gob.ve/
You might be able to install Firefox 3.6.18 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

Why can't update to the new iMovie and iPhoto?

I recently had to get a new hard drive in my MacBook Pro. After I installed Mavericks, I got a notification from the App Store saying there are two updates for iMovie and iPhoto. When I try to update them, I receive a message saying update unavailable with this apple ID. It goes on to say this update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or this item was refunded or cancelled. I have tried every possible Apple ID this could of been purchased with and receive the same message each time. I have no idea what to do to update these now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
Follow the directions in this support article.
Step 2
Associate your Apple ID with your user account. Then sign in to the App Store with the same ID.
Step 3
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder may open with a file named "adoption.plist" selected. If it does, move the file to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Log out, log back in, and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 4
Contact Mac App Store Customer Service.

Can't update to the new OSX ML

That's the message that pops up:
"There was an eror eith the app store, please try again later". It says that for already 2 weeks.

-   Tempoarily disable anti virus software.
-   Apps such as Little Snitch, Hands Off, and Net Nanny can prevent apps from downloading including Mountain Lion.
-   Make sure your Mac qualifies to run Mountain Lion. See Step 1 here > Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.
Keep in mind, for downloading Mountain Lion from the App Store, a high speed (broadband) internet connection is strongly recommended by Apple as noted here > iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
If you need to reinstall OS X or repair the the startup disk using Mountain Lion Recovery, that requires broadband access to the internet via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection. OS X is downloaded over the internet form Apple when OS X Recovery is used for reinstallation.
Mountain Lion is a 4.35GB file. If you have a slow internet connection (determined by your ISP), the file may be timing out before it can download.

Why can i not update to the new version of iPhoto and Garageband through the appstore?

When trying to update, I keep getting the pop-up:
"We could not complete your request
There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (null)".
How can I update to the new version?
Im running on the OS X Lion 10.7.4 system for Macbook Pro I have the Version 9.2 of iPhoto and 6.0.4 of Garageband. If that's of any assistance.

Because you don't. You update using Software Update or by going to the Apple web site.
I think iLife is being updated from MAS now, thus the need for a AppleID to update it.
One person had iLife and tried to update with a differnent AppleID and it rejected it, seems they bought a open box machine and iLife was installed using another AppleID for display purposes.
When one reinstalls Lion, and has to install iLife, they have to go to MAS to do it.
Restoring iLife applications after Internet Restore of OS X Lion
If you reinstall Lion on a new Mac that shipped with OS X Lion installed, on an erased or replaced hard drive, you can download iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand from the Mac App Store.
After installation, start from Lion.
Double-click the App Store icon in the dock.
Enter your Apple ID and password.
Click Purchases.
If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
You may be asked for your Apple ID and password once again. Your iLife applications now move to the Purchased section. These applications are part of the software that came with your Lion based computer. Your account will not be charged for them. Click Install to compete installation of your applications.
