I can't download the latest itunes (I need to for my phone) because it says I need an updated OS version, but my computer says everything is up to date. Help?

I can't download the latest itunes (I need to for my phone) because it says I need an updated OS version, but my computer says everything is up to date. Any help?

First you need to install Mac OS 10.6. To do this you have to buy the OS disk. (This is a whole different OS, not an update of 10.5.) Order it here:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
You may be able to install an even newer OS, but you have to get 10.6 first.
Please look at Apple Menu / About This Mac / More Info... and check under Hardware Overview for the Model Identifier of your Macbook. That will tell us whaat is the highest OS you can install.

Yosemite is an upgrade to a completely new OS and not an update of what you currently have.

Illustrator CS4 no longer allows me to paste images "Quicktime and a decompresser are needed to view this image". How do I fix this?

Since I installed the Yosemite Mac software upgrade, my Illustrator CS4 no longer allows me to paste images. I get the message "Quicktime and a decompresser are needed to view this image". How do I fix this? I've tried everything, nothing works!!!!

Did you use migration with the new OS or did you reinstall the CS4 apps from the original media? If you didn't, then you should uninstall CS4 making sure to check the box to remove preferences, run the Cleaner tool (Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6) and then reinstall CS4. CS4 is totally untested and unsupported on the latest versions of Mac OSes.

Tiff Decompressor needed for Images copied from PDF?

I typed in "Tiff decompressor" into Photoshop's Help (which was no help as is common), and also did a forum search, but nothing came up.
Before I go any further, a message to those who write Helps:
i make sure that every term that is used within the program, including its error messages, is findable in Help.
Some background: I'm generating a book that has lots of photos that are higher resolution than required for final print. I don't know of any way that I can resample them all to 300 dpi at final print size other than exporting to PDF. I don't want to print just yet. I want to resample all the images to reduce the total size of the book for archiving purposes. So I've exported all the chapters to PDF simply as a way of resampling all the images, then I can backup the PDFs and use those as the archive for the 300 dpi images.
Problem: when I tried to get back an image from one of these PDFs, to make sure it was really 300 dpi, I did this:
1. Selected the image in the PDF.
2. Copied it.
3. Opened a new document in Photoshop CS.
4. Pasted.
5. Got a message that said: "Quicktime and a Tiff (Uncompressed) decompressor are needed to see this picture."
Trusty Google, did a much better job of solving the problem. It turns out if I open Preview and then select File > New From Clipboard, the image is imported into Preview from where I can save it as a Tiff image that PS is able to open.
Q1: If Preview can do it, why can't PS. given that the image originally came from PS, went into InDesign, then to PDF... but it won't come back straight to PS. Why?
Q2: How do I extract an image from a PDF and get it straight into PS?
Q3: The image (when I do get it into PS via Preview) has been flattened. Is there any way to keep all the layers.
Q4: Is there any way I can avoid all the above steps (InDesign > PDF > Preview > PS) when all I want to do is extract all the images from an InDesign document, have them resampled to 300 dpi (not only downsampled; resampled preferably, up and down), and send them to a folder for archiving.

>Q2: How do I extract an image from a PDF and get it straight into PS?
In Acrobat and not the reader version:
Option click twice with the Touch Up Tool. This will open the embedded Photoshop file in Photoshop directly with the correct resolution when the PDF was saved. Be careful to note that Grayscale files as well as Spots will open with a dialog of "unsupported color space" It's a bug you just have to live with for now.

When syncing iPod touch to MacBook, I have selected to sync only events newer than 360 days. Yet I get message that sync will change 8000 events on "this computer" most of which are years old and many are recurring events. I'm afraid to proceed

When syncing iPod touch to MacBook, I have selected to sync only events newer than 360 days. Yet I get message that sync will change 8000 events on "this computer" most of which are years old and many are recurring events. I'm afraid to proceed with sync.

Having the same problem here. As a first time mac user, Apple has certainly made a bad first impression.
For me, the issue seems to occur when transferring files between computers that are connected to the same access point (when transferring files from wired computers on the network there is no issue). My vista laptop and every laptop I have tried has worked perfectly fine with this access point so I am 100% convinced it is the mac. Basically when I copy the files, after about 100mb, I am unable to access anything on the local network or internet until I restart Airport. The weird thing is that even though I am unable to access anything, the airport utility says it is connected. I might also note that the wireless signal strength is full.
If I can't get this figured out in a few days, this computer is going back to the store where it came from and I will officially label myself anti-mac. This type of issue is just unacceptable for something so main stream.

THe message is misleading. Save the file to your desktop, even though all you see is the message. Then, open the saved file in Reader.

1st problem see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls
2nd problem, to close Firefox properly use File > Exit
:not with the [x] in upper right corner which close window
:see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs#Hang_at_exit
:if restarting use "Restartless Restart" extension as mentioned there.

What version of iPhoto do you have installed? Is if one of the versions shown as not compatible in this screenshot?
If it is then go to the App Store and download iPhoto 9.5. It will be free if you have an iPhoto 9 or later verson currently.

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since your last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Boot into the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. The easiest way to deal with the problem is to boot from an external drive, or else to use either of the techniques in Steps 1b and 1c to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
Step 3
Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 4
If you use a wireless keyboard, trackpad, or mouse, replace or recharge the batteries. The battery level shown in the Bluetooth menu item may not be accurate.
Step 5
If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
Step 6
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
Step 7
If you've booted from an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Boot in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
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.
When you boot in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, your boot volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 6.
If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 8
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select your startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then reboot as usual.
Step 9
Reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 10
Repeat Step 9, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 11
This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a boot failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 12
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

Why do I get 2 curves and not just i when I create a diagram from a row af data in a table ?

Erik,
Thank you for giving me the points. Generally you wait to award points until your problem is solved. It is totally your at your descretion.
OK.
This is still not clear. To post a screenshot get the "stuff" you want to show in view on your screen, then type the key combination <Command>+<Shift>+3. The cursor will change to a crosshair. Click and hold on the top-left corner, then drag to enclose what you want to show (to the bottom-right corner), then release. The screenshot will appear on your desktop and will be named something like "".
Now click the camera icon in the tool bar for this forum:
, click the text box to allow you to navigate to, and select your screenshot.
Here is what you sent me:
The graph does not seem to be associated with the table of data you are showing. Generally when you highlight a graph the corresponding table will highlight and show the source of each of the series in the graph (dark and light blue).
This is what I would expect to see when highlighting a graph:
Right now I think there is ANOTHER table arround that is the source for the graph and the table you show is "just another table". You can move your data into the table the graph refers to by copy and paste, or simply typing the values. You can change how many series there are by grabbing the little circle at the bottom right of the highlighted cells (when you have the graph highlighted) and dragging as shown:
The Numbers Users' Guide is a great resource you should utilize and can be found here:

The chapter on graphing (or charting) is 7 and starts on page 134.
