Computer too old for new Itunes?

I'm trying to update to a new Itunes because I can't access the Itunes store any more. When trying to update to the new Itunes I'm told that I need to have Mac 10.7.5 or higher, and I have 10.6.8. Does that mean I'll never be able to access the store again, since my system is too old to update? How am I supposed to download new podcasts?

You can very easily upgrade your version of 10.4 to the most current version. This will only take a few clicks on your part, but will probably take a while for the computer to download and install everything.
In order to do this, you have to run 'Software Update.'
--Click on the blue Apple logo in the upper left hand corner of your screen.
--Select "Software Update"
--Wait while the computer determines what software needs to be updated (if you've never done this, or haven't in a long time, this may take a few mins)
--Select all the programs (in particular 10.4.10) and click "Install" in the lower right hand corner of the window
--You'll be asked to enter your password (if you don't know your password, you probably don't have one, so just leave it blank and click "OK" (or whatever is the blue button is)
--You'll have to agree to a bunch of software user agreements... just click agree.
--Wait... now the computer will download all the software and then install it. After the install it will restart (restart will probably take longer than usual).
This may look scary as you read it, but really all you have to do is click a few times, and then your Mac will do it all automatically.
Hopefully that works!

Is my MBP too old for new externals?

I have the 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo, 2GB DDR2 SDRAM, model of MBP, I am running Leopard. I want to buy the WD Passport 120GB. It is powered through the USB port. All the posts in the forum about this device working properly are coming from people who have the core 2 duo & newer/faster models of the MBP. Will my model be able to power this device through just one of the USB ports? I don't want to buy it, plug it in & have it fry my laptop. Please let me know. A definite answer would be great. I can't rely too much on speculation, unless you really know your stuff. Thank you very much in advanced.

Richard
The usb ports are rated at 500mA for your model and later and it seems that Apple has kept this current draw strictly to 500 rather than a few mA over. Provided the drive does not need the full 500mA it should work. Having said that I know that many have had problems with usb drives drawing more than allowed in MBP's. This is likely to be because they are specced too close to the 500mA or that the ports are delivering a few mA less. The other point which has made a difference for some who have already spent their money is that quite often a device will work from one usb port but not another even though the ports are supposedly the same spec.
I can't comment on the specific drive you're looking at. Can I suggest that you ask the dealer whether you can get a full refund if the drive draws more current than the MBP provides.
The age of your MBP is not an issue here. The latest MBP's are no different in this regard.

The consensus of opinion is to buy external Firewire drives if possible. These ports apparently provide more power for the hub-powered hardware.

Changing devices is no reason to create a new Apple ID.
All content purchased from iTunes is permanently linked to the Apple ID it was purchased with.
To update apps purchased with the old ID, you MUST sign in with that Apple ID.

Is my MacBook Pro too old for Mountain Lion?

I was trying to buy Mountain Lion online but it wouldn’t let me, saying unavailable for purchase or something.
Im at 10.6.8 on a 17” MacBook Pro.
Is my computer too old?
If so, What is the highest software I can get?
I sure cant afford a new laptop, but is it going to be useless if I can never get an updated OS?
Is there anything I could buy (BESIDES a new laptop) to keep going with the one Ive got?
Laptop still works darn fine and I just love it…help?

10.6.8 is the best OS you should be running on that older model of machine.
1: Best Performance, 10.6.8 is tested faster than 10.7.
2: Runs your presently PPC based programs, 10.7+ won't.
3: Doesn't need even more RAM like 10.7+ does. (4GB+)
Apple is issuing security updates for 10.6.8, however no Safari 6 for 10.6.8 so you need to use Firefox instead.
Your machine came out in 2006 apx, so it's almost 6-7 years old, my congradulations on getting such a good lifespan out of that machine. Usually the average is about 5 years for laptops.
Don't worry about becoming outdated, if Apple stops issuing security updates, then don't do anything online like banking etc. that's all.
Apple is issuing a new OS X version annually now, so it's no big deal refusing to keep up with all their idiotic changes anymore.
Seems the OS that came with the machine is usually the best choice in a lot of cases, only one that really improved was 10.5 machines that got 10.6, every OS X version after that slowed down the machine or took features away for apparantly obscure reasons.
My advice, if it works fine, don't mess with it, be happy it works.

If it were too old, the App Store wouldn't download it.
Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.

Can't open a document I created an hour before with Pages 5.0.1; get message saying my Pages is too old, for me to download 5.0.1

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Note: Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

Do you have old for new service for Mac air?

Do you have old for new service for Mac air?

I believe you are asking if you can trade in an older model MacBook Air for a new one.
Apple does not take trade-ins; however, in the U.S., they do have a recycling program which offers Apple gift cards in exchange for older Apple computers.
You should be able to sell your older computer.

3rd Generation ipod -computer wont support a newer itunes version.....

okay, I am having serious issues! back in July I accepted an update on my ipod and when I did that, it told me that I needed a newer version of itunes, I tried to download it but i got a message that said "iphone and ipod require windows xpservice Pack 2 or later"... i have an old computer, can't get a new one right now & so getting a newer version of ituens seems impossible with my current system....my question is when I connect my ipod it says "The ipod "..." cannot be used because it requires itunes version 7.6 or later.... got to ... etc"... my computer wont support the newer itunes version so is there a way that I can reset the ipod (back to how it was when I purchased it) to where I am still able to use it with the current itunes version that I have on my computer???
(i tried to go to a friend's computer & we goofed & the sync only downloaded the songs that I purchased; (i know-duh) so I've lost over 800 tunes,,, (that are still in my library on my computer but I can't sync it because of the trouble i described above...)
am i making sense?
Can anyone help me? please?? I would forever be indebted to you!
Highest of Blessings...

Why not go to www.microsoft.com and install Service Pack 3 on your computer and then download and install the latest iTunes?

Cpu is too old for this kernel

I downloaded and burned Arch No Panic ISO before 5:00 am today, then I went to the train and started travelling to my parents, it took about 10 hours. Now I am in their house and I wanted to install brand fresh new Arch Linux on my old K6-2 500. All I saw (after many dots) was:
cpu is too old for this kernel
WHY????
686 is not enough today? for installation?
PS. could you recommend small distro with gcc and SDL and Mesa? Slackware? Ubuntu? OK, let's get serious, Slackware?

I know k6-2 is an i586 family processor, but there are two problems, first the name, beacause of the 6 in k6, it can make suppose that k6 means i686. but the main problem is the fact that the official_Arch_Linux_Install_Guide at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Off … tall_Guide says something like this:
Pre-Installation
Arch Linux is optimized for the i686 processor and therefore will not run on any lower or incompatible generations of x86 CPUs (i386,i486,i586). A Pentium II or AMD K6-2 processor or higher is required. x86-64 architectures are also officially supported.
"A Pentium II or AMD K6-2 processor or higher is required"
now, there are two options: the official guide is wrong, or you would have to be able to install on a k6-2 microprocessor even if it is an i586 one. if is the secon opcion the question is "how?" because i thry to install arch on a k6-2 500mhz with the same result: "cpu is too old for this kernel"

I have a copy of Windows 7, and I am trying to bring up Boot Camp on my MacBook with Snow Leopard. But my Snow Leopard install disk is too old for Windows 7, so attempted Boot Camp install of drivers fails.

I have hand-installed the NVidia graphics driver, and I have keyboard, minimal trackpad, and hardwire to internet all working. So the WIndows machine is usable. But I am hurting for wi-fi, better trackpad, and whatever else is delivered by Boot Camp. I can't use any of the Boot Camp upgrades because I do not have XP or Vista.

While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use Boot Camp. There's a Boot Camp Support Community where everybody uses Boot Camp. You should also post this question there.

Actually, in the US at least the website states
You can recycle your iPhone at the Apple Retail Store and get immediate credit for its value toward the purchase of a new one.**

"Snapshot too old" for a report program

We get "ORA-1555 error: snapshot too old" for a report job, NOT an update job.
We can add rollback segments to the DB.
Why we cannot increase the commit frequency to fix this issue?
Thanks!

> 1. create a big rollback segment. search the web for keyword PSAPROLLBIG.
> 2. convert to PSAPUNDO, as started by others, check SAP note 600141.
> 3. analyze the program and if it is a Z program, ask your program to add more commits in his program.
HI all,
of course Stefan and Eric have already given the right hints here.
But the main point here is not the configuration of the UNDO management.
I know that this kind of problems bears a big mental hurdle in it, which is also difficult to jump over for many supporters.
The notion of Undo/Rollback data beeing used mainly for ROLLBACK actions is unfortunately totally wrong.
The primary and main usage of this data is to deliver the consistent view (as already explained in this thread).
So the single big question here is: why does a single statement of your report needs to visit so many pages from a certain point in time?
In the wast majority of cases this is because the statement is badly tuned.
Maybe there is no appropriate index available.
Or it's just written badly, so that unnecessary data must be read by Oracle.
Maybe the CBO does something wrong which must be checked.
Maybe the data is scattered over too many blocks and clustering them together somehow could help
The core point here is: figure out what causes the statement to touch so many pages and fix that.
Then you are most likely to come over this problem.
All other recommendations, especially the move to automatic undo management: full ack.
But the solution to your problem is to fix your statement.
regards,
Lars

Although I'm connected to my WIFI network my computer keeps "looking for new networks" How can I stop it from doing so when I'm working at home and don't want another network?

You might want to update Safari to 3.12. I would empty the safari cache. (Safari>Empty Cache). Then quit Safari. System Preferences>Network>Show:Airport>TCP/IP. Insert the following into the DNS Servers box;
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
then hit apply. Now launch Safari. You should also try powering down modem, router and Mac and power up in 2 minute sequence; modem, router, Mac.

I am too old for this

I can't open a disk that has photos stored on it. The error message is:"Invalid jpeg marker." Other disks work fine.

The title of this post "I am too old for this" reminded me of someone that used to post to the Photoshop forum.
Still around but under another name.
