Can't upgrade to Mavericks because of flash storage update 1.1

I get this message when I try to upgrade:
We could not complete your purchase.
Before installing OS X Mavericks, this system requires MacBook Air Flash Storage Firmware Update 1.1. Click on the Updates button in the Mac App Store to install the update.
The MacBook Air Flash Storage Firmware Update 1.1 has been installed "successfully" a number of times and I still can't upgrade.
I'm on a macbook air (purchased mid-2012) running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 that meets all space requirements etc.

Firmware updates are installed in two steps:
1. The firmware update is copied to the EFI partition. If this is done correctly, the update will appear as installed when it's not.
2. It's installed the next time you start up your MacBook, always that it's plugged in to the charger.
First, plug the MacBook to the charger, and download and install the update from the Apple website > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1690
If it doesn't work, reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

We run an iMac 3.4 GHz I7 for our church worship service; we haven't upgraded to Mavericks because we heard about issues with multiple screens crashing. Has this issue been resolved? Thank you!

We run an iMac 3.4 GHz I7 in our church worship service; we have front screens and a stage display monitor ; we haven't upgraded to Mavericks because we heard about issues with multiple screens crashing. Has this issue been resolved? Now that we are 2 upgrades behind, I'm getting little concerned. Thank you!

Oh, well that was a whole other kettle of fish:
Oh the G4 I attempted to install iLife '08 before Lepoard was available. About the only thing that installed cleanly was iPhoto. I ended up reinstalling everything back to iLife '06, and then upgrading back to the current stable version of the iLife '06 version. I didn't attempt a reinstall until after I upgraded to Leopard.
When I did reinstall, I made a iLife '06 folder, copied all iLife apps into it, and upgraded. Seemed to work, except for the part where iMovie gets left behind and iDVD is only mostly functional.
When I installed on the other 2 machines, it was after installing Leopard and all upgrades. On those 2 machines, I didn't bother with the copy, I just moved everything to the iLife '06 folder I created, and did a fresh install.
I didn't have to do anything with the iPhoto Libraries, that I can recall.
I always do an upgrade, never an archive and install. I've never had a problem with this back to 10.1 or 10.2.

I have Quicken for mac 2005, can I upgrade to Maverick from OS X 10.6.8?

I have Quicken for mac 2005, can I upgrade to Maverick from OS X 10.6.8 and not keep all data?

I am new to the Apple Support community but am hopeful that you can help me!! I have just bought a MacBook Air, migrated my stuff and found that my Quicken for Mac 2005 is no longer supported. (I still have my Quicken 2005 working on my Mac OS X - Version 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard?) I saw a thread of communications back in 2012/13 where you helped a lot of people find ways to get their 2005 data into new versions - something about a $15 purchase. However, I can't find those discussions again. AND I don't know if they are 'relevant' because I'm now using the latest Yosemite, which someone just told me to upgrade for free....But this same person told me to switch to iBank, which others who have used Quicken for years didn't like. I'd just as soon stay with Quicken but it seems like they have less support for Mac users. Do you think I can move my data successfully still? I live and work overseas and leave the USA on Monday and am trying to leave my older MacBook Air (the one with my 2005 Quicken on it) here....
Thanks for any advice.

I have Apple Macbook 13" (MB062LL/A) 2.16ghz 3gb Ram 500gb Hd Snow Leopard 10.6.8 can i upgrade to Mavericks

I believe not - Mavericks requires a 2008 Aluminum or later.
I believe the highest yours can go is Lion (10.7) - personally, I'd stick with Snow Leopard because you'd also need more RAM (4 GB would be minimum, more is much better).

As of now you can upgrade to Yosemite, but not to Mavericks, at the App Store.
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.

How can I upgrade to Maverick 10.7?

One week ago I purchased Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3 (upon the recommendation of a Genius). Now I discover that I require a higher version. How can I upgrade to Maverick 10.9 at no additional cost?

Update to 10.6.8 to get the latest version of the App Store.
Once there you can purchase and download Mavericks from the App Store.

No that system will not run Mavericks.

It said ont he box I was buying an iTouch 3G and now I can't upgrade to iOS5 because it's really a 2G, what kind of BS is this?

It said ont he box I was buying an iTouch 3G and now I can't upgrade to iOS5 because it's really a 2G, what kind of BS is this? I'm starting to hate Apple if the only way to upgrade is to buy a newer iTouch.

Bring the appropriate paperwork to the place yur purchased the iPod and demand compensation for the misrepresentation.

I own CS 5Premium. Reading the FAQs, it seems I am eligible to upgrade to CS 6 but I can't find the upgrade to purchase and download. I can't upgrade to CC because $49 per month is too much for me -- I don't use this product for work. The $29 offer seems

I own CS 5 Design Premium. Reading the FAQs, it seems I am eligible to upgrade to CS 6 but I can't find the upgrade to purchase and download. I can't upgrade to CC because $49 per month is too much for me -- I don't use this product for work. The $29 offer seems reasonable but $49 is way too much. I don't need the majority of the programs included in CC, but subscribing to just three of them will cost way more. Really not sure what to do here :-(

Thanks Ned. I did find this page, however it isn't an upgrade. I have been purchasing Adobe products for years so that I could just pay the upgrade price for current products. With the current system, I would be paying much more than I would for an upgrade. For example, I have been using my version of CS for at least three years. The upgrade cost me $750 so that comes out to around $21 per month. I guess I have no options as far as upgrading except for paying for the overpriced CC. Oh well, time to start looking for alternatives. It was just so convenient to have the same programs at home that I use at work.

Can I upgrade to maverick, and still working with windows partitions without any problem?

I have an imac 2006 running 10.6.8 but I still can't upgrade to Mavericks. Is this model not able to run mavericks or is there a way to download?

I have an imac 2006 running 10.6.8 but I still can't upgrade to Mavericks. Is this model not able to run mavericks, or is there a way to download? Apple says any imac running snow leopard or later.

Again, some proof would be nice
Instead of just making a casual, blanket statement, why don't you just post the actual install procedure here, then.
Also, the 2006 models really do not have sufficient RAM specs to run Mavericks well.
So, I seriously question that your 2006 model iMac is running well on Mavericks.
2006 models could either take 2 or 3 GBs of RAM (you can install 4 GBs of RAM to take advantage of more efficient RAM processing of matched pairs of RAM, but the hardware will only recognize 3.2 to 3.4 GBs of that total RAM). This is barely the needed "real world" "working" minimum of RAM needed for Mavericks to run adaequately.
New iMacs ship with a much better 8 GBs of RAM.
If you can't offer/post proof with an actual install procedure for installing Mavericks on unsupported Macs, then I would suggest you stop posting your assertion that
"I have done it" garbage and post knowledge and info that is REAL and relevant to users of 2006 model Macs that need accurate info about this.

Upgraded to Mavericks, no longer get software updates on my applications

I just upgraded from Mountain Lion to Mavericks last night, and now I can no longer download updates on my applications for my iMac.
Before upgrading, whenever I got a notification saying that there was an update available, I would simply click on the App Store icon on the dock and be directed to the Mac store, where I would click "download all".
After upgrading, when I get to the Mac store, a pop-up appears that asks for a password, along with a pre-filled box next to it that has an Apple ID I have never seen before. It does not allow me to change the Apple ID to my own.
This is a previously owned machine from 2013, that used to belong to someone else at the office of my employer. They had previously purchased all the software and applications for it, such as Final Cut Pro, and they had installed them all before shipping the iMac to me.
All I want to do is update the software to the latest version of iMovie, iPhoto and Final Cut Pro.
Could it be that somehow, after switching over to Mavericks, the system is now reverting to ask for my employer's Apple ID instead of my own? It seems weird though, because before upgrading to Mavericks, I was able to update any software any time that I got a notification -- about a dozen or so things in the week since the machine arrived.
And I would not think that there would be any problem with simply updating something like iMovie from last month's version to the one released on January 23.

Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates

I've already purchased iMovie 9.0.6 on my computer, but i can't upgrade it. it said there is available update on another account, but i just got one account on my computer...

I've already purchased iMovie 9.0.6 on my computer, but i can't upgrade it. it said there is available update on another account, but i just got one account on my computer...

Updates:
I found why the original backup file is not showing on iTunes. Becuase it is corrupted.
All other folders contains Infor.plist, Manifest.mbdb, Manifest.plist and Status plist files.
But the folder that contains origianal backup files does not have those files above.
I think the only way I can restore the data is using third party extracting software.
Do you know anything about that kind of software?

Can't install os mavericks because don't have macbook air flash storage firmware update 1.1; can't install firmware update because OS is too old (10.7.4)

Hello, I have a Macbook Air, bought May 2012 or so that came with OS 10.7.4 on it. Did not try to upgrade OS until recently. Tried to upgrade to OS Mavericks, however received error message 'Before installing OS X Mavericks this system requires MacBook Air Flash Storage Firmware Update 1.1." I then downloaded and attempted to install said Firmware Update 1.1, but received another error message, to wit: "This update requires 10.7.5 or 10.8.5 or later"
Who can help me out the this Catch-22? I thought about first updating to OS 10.8, but apparently that is no longer available?

Hi CursedIn,
If the Firmware update required for Mavericks requires 10.7.5 to install, you may be able to download it directly from the following link:
OS X Lion Update 10.7.5 (Client Combo)
