From osx 10.5.8 up to the most recent upgrade
I have a MacBook 2009 with osx 10.5.8 what is the most recent upgrade I can buy? osx 10.6.8 and from there go up to mavericks?
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.
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
8 GB or more of available space
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.

I'm running OS X 10.5.8 & Firefox says that my computer is not compatible with the most recent upgrade. What am I missing? Thanks!
The last version of Firefox which is compatible with PPC architecture is Firefox 3.6.x. <br />

For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4+ versions, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />

I recently allowed the software update and the installation of java 7 has disabled a key task I need for my business, specifically being able to view 360 degree tours that I create.
Slightly different OS and update, but I was able to use Pacifist to install the java Update 15 for mac os 10.6 after Update 16 had screwed up some business-critical sw of ours. You will need to go to the downloads site and download the previous update, and then use Pacifist to re-install the earlier version.

This might or might not actually work -- it depends entirely upon the details of the updates, and you could end up in some weird jumble of pieces-of-multiple-updates all together... Java updates are patches, not a full copy of the software, so to really go back you have to start from the beginning and apply the updates in order. In the case of Update 16, we were lucky in that whatever was screwing up our program was changed in both Update 15 and Update 16, so writing the Update 15 back overtop of 16 fixed our problem. -
What is the most recent upgrade for Quicktime player for Mac OX 10.7.5
I have iOS 10.7.5 on my iMac. Recently my quicktime player won't play a slideshow created in Quicktime.
Can I upgrade my quicktime player application? If so, how?
Thank you. Mrs. DIt is installed along with OS X. The current version is 10.3 and is part of Yosemite.
Upgrading to Yosemite
You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Yosemite
To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite 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.
OS X Mavericks/Yosemite- System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?

Just go to google finance and get a stock quote on any stock and then the price comes up and you can choose to see the price history of different time periods, 1, 5, day one week, one month, etc. In the past when you hit the button for one of the charts, it would just change the chart on the same page, now it opens a new page that is blank?
I can see that this issue has been quite extensive, and frustrating, and I am so sorry for all that has happened societygirl! I would like to help you work this issue out. Please follow & send me a Direct Message, so I can get your account specifics and help finally bring this to a resolution.
Thank you,

How do I get a list of the most recent upgraded packages?
Hi there,
I want to get a list of the last upgrades using pacman.
I´ve been looking for a way to do it in the man page, but either I´m blind or there is not such an option.
I know that I can just do:
ls --sort time /var/cache/pacman/pkg/|head
But what if I clean the cache regularly?
Does the pacman database store the upgrade or installation date for each package? If so, how can I access this data?
Cheers,
Edit: I know that "pacman -Qi" gives me the date of installation of individual packages, but what I want is to be able to sort the list of all installed packages by date.
Last edited by samhain (2008-04-30 11:41:19)dolby wrote:/var/log/pacman is the file you want
Thanks.
cat /var/log/pacman.log | grep "] upgraded" | tail
Gives me what I need
I would prefer if pacman had some option for sorting the queries, but for now, this will do fine. -
In any window, while using any application, the browser crashes and closes. I've attached the last 5 crash IDs. This is particularly vexing, as I work to deadline and am regularly losing huge blocks of text due to crashes between constant saves.
Are there any available patches, fixes, etc, for this problem, or will this require straight uninstalling? I'm at a loss and appreciative of any help available.In any window, while using any application, the browser crashes and closes. I've attached the last 5 crash IDs.

Problems with iTouch after the most recent upgrade
I have been having issues like my iTouch running slower, all my apps open up and then close or if they open up will work for about a minute and then freeze, or some of my wifi apps will say there is not connection to the internet. I have wireless internet at my home and it is on all the time. I am so mad I updated my iTouch. Any one know of a fix to these issues?
I too upgraded my 16GB iPod Touch with IOS 4.0 and have noticed slower response times and Apps crashing back to the main screen. Looking at other postings on this site, the general consensus is that we should not upgrade until Apple resolve the issue. However, this does not help those of us that have already upgraded!
I was considering using the iTunes option of restoring a previous IOS version. So, can anyone else help our friend and confirm whether a IOS downgrade or other solution is advisable?
Cheers...
P.S. I upgraded my iPhone 3GS and have had no visible issues with IOS 4.0 -

on my iMac, when I view messages there is a grey number at the top of the message. This number denotes the amount of messages from that sender and when I view the most recent message in my mailbox (from that sender) all of the older messages load with it and this takes a while for the message to become moarked as "read." I know that I can turn this off because I have mountain lion on my air and i do not have this issue. how can i turn it off?
thanksthanks so much, that fixed it! before I posted this quiestions I kept looking in the mail preferences but I dind't think to look on the View menu.

HT1766 Can I restore my iPhone from an older backup than the most recent?
Ca. I restore my iPhone from a backup that is older than the most recent one?
Hey Geigerfam4,
The following info covers restoring from earlier backups:
You can choose from up to three of the most recent backups associated with your iCloud account. Each backup shows the date and time the backup was created, as well as the name of the device that created the backup. Unless you want to restore an older backup, choose the most recent backup of the device you want to restore.

After the most recent firefox update I lost the search function in hotmail
After the most recent upgrade for Firefox the search function in my Hotmail account no longer works. When I try to search through my email for a specific item, I get a message, "It looks like there's a problem with Windows Live Hotmail right now. It should be fixed soon, so please try again in a few minutes. Sorry for the inconvenience."
Also, when I load up my Hotmail account it pretty much seems to take over my browser. If I follow a link from an email to another website, I will often be pulled back to Hotmail...with or without a "hang" and I will get the "Warning: Unresponsive Script" message. It appears to be related to the ad bar that runs on the right side of the Hotmail page. It gets worse if I have more than two tabs open.
I have a similar experience with Facebook. It will often pull me back if I go to another tab. The "Warning: Unresponsive Script" message will come up. often after a considerable "hang" delay. This also can happen if I am participating in a thread. Often, when I am typing it will hang, sometimes for several minutes before my cursor resumes functionality. It can take a very long time to complete even one paragraph.See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Clipboard_not_working
Try to use the keyboard if the buttons on the web page aren't working.

Printing from web pages is excruciatingly slow since downloading most recent upgrades of Firefox Mozilla. I have a desktop iMac, OS 10.6.8, and an HP officejet printer 4500 G510n. The printer works fine with the Safari Browser and with woodprocessed files, but not with Firefox and web pages. Help please! It used to print fast with earlier versions of Firefox.
Hello and welcome to the Apple Discussions Forum.
I have hardly any experience with HP printers but since your posting has not been replied to yet I thought I'd offer some assistance.
With the printer status and ink levels working, it shows that you have a connection to the printer. So I would look at the issue being with the protocol being used for the print queue on the Mac.
Since you have XP and Vista working, I would check the printer queue configuration on either box. In XP, go to the Properties and select Ports. Click the Configure Port tab to view the connection. If you are using RAW, then this is known as HP Jetdirect-Socket on OS X. So if you are not sure what protocol was used before I would create another printer queue, this time selecting IP > HP Jetdirect-Socket. Then enter your IP address and select the K5400dn from the Print Using menu.
If this still fails to print then please reply. There may be limitations with adding the HP driver this way that I am not aware of. There may also be other driver options you can look at, such as HPIJS. If Greg Sahli reads this posting he has expert knowledge on this matter and will be able to offer some guidance.

My iPhone 5 is not syncing with my iTunes 11.3, on OSx. I have just completed all of the most recent updates and have looked into completely uninstalling iTunes but I found my computer won't let me! Any ideas?
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
