have reformatted my Imac using original discs (installed leopard (10.5)) tried to do the software update but it cant download the itunes update and when it gets to the configure update screen after restart for main update, it just gets stuck. HELP!
The configure bar gets about an 1/8 full and then just does nothing. I think its lists the update as combo update? cant remember with out checking.
I have tried to do the disk verify and repair but this has made no difference.
Please let me know what i need to do, I have reformatted the mac just to start over as was clogged with a lot of useless data, I had installed lion (10.7) from the app store previously and now cant seem to find a way to re install lion. I hope I dont need to pay for it again?

If you erased your hard drive, you'll need to reinstll OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard to access the App store. You won't have to pay for OS X 10.7 Lion again. Did you try booting to the recovery partition by holding the command and r keys down? If that's still there, you can reinstall OS X 10.7 from there.
If you're looking to install the current iTunes, you need OS X 10.6.8 at a minimum.
If you're still trying to update OS X 10.5 Leopard, you can download the combo update from here. Download, use Disk Utility to repair permissions, apply the update, then repair permissions again. That will take you to OS X 10.5.8.

HT4906 I want to download the new updates I think to the 10.9 but our mac was given to us and when it comes to the last page it asks for the user name and password but this mac was wiped clean. How do I find out this info so I can get iPhoto?

How do I find out this info so I can get iPhoto? To be honest I'm not even sure what type of Mac I have and don't know how to find out what kind it is
I'd also like to make address labels and don't know where to find that either

You would make address lables with the Contacts app.
If you don't have the user name and password used to set up the machine then you need to purchase the apps for yourself.

I have downloaded several books into ibooks. Started reading one and closed it when I was done reading for the day. Now I want to access other books and when I open ibooks it goes directly to that first book. What can I do? Help please.

I have downloaded several books into ibooks. Started reading one and closed it when I was done reading for the day. Now I want to access other books and when I open ibooks it goes directly to that first book. It does not give me the shelf to choose what book I want to read - goes directly to the first book. What can I do? Help please.

There should be a Library button on the top left. If not ap the middle of the screen to get it to appear.

I just scratched off my iTunes card and when I put in the code it said that it has already been redeemed.

Creative cloud desktop won't load the "apps" section/shows download error/ have uninstalled & reinstalled/ also completed yosemite os install successfully to see if it was a compatability issue/but still shows download error on apps/ this only occurred af

I have a macbook pro 2010 & extra storage and drive space
I don't know what the link is between the new creative cloud update in january and the loss of my apps & downloading error after that update, to the desktop window?
Before that I hadn't had any trouble with the apps window..all the other parts are syncing and seem fine?
I uninstalled & reinstalled the creative cloud desktop
I installed the yosemite os x to see if the new interface was an issue...all was fine with the yosemite install
I have checked for the answer in the troubleshooting guide
nothing seems to apply at this point...
didn't know if anyone else was having the same difficulty?
Thanks

is this the 'unknown' download error or some other error? attaching a screenshot of the error if it's in english would be helpful.

I tried buying a pre-ordered album but didn't download at all. Now when i go back to see if i can purchase it again so it can download but it just shows up as purchased so i check icloud by the way its all on my iphone because i dont have a computer.

I had to do ALL of the above in sequence, but before rebooting, I turned WiFi OFF.
When I rebooted, I turned WiFi ON. I made sure that Location Services was ON for the Apple Store ( the one with the shopping cart).
Then I went into the App Store.
I did that about 3 times then voilà! The App Store appeared again.
To summarize:
- Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off. Set the date one year ahead.
- Try App Store. If it doesn't work, continue with below.
- Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services (swipe to the bottom of the page to find this)>Location Based iAds>Off
- Close all apps in the Task Bar.
- Turn WiFi OFF.
- Reboot.
- Turn WiFi ON.
- Make sure Location Services is ON for the Apple Store.
- Turn Date and Time to Set Automatically ON.
- Try App Store.
Repeat the above if necessary. Thanks Demo, Ocean20 and Diavonex.
It worked!

I tried to rename a file, it gave me an error message (can't remember the number - 43??) and then the file disappeared from the original folder. When I do a search, the file comes up under the new name, but it does not show a path, and even though preview shows the contents, I can't open the document (Powerpoint) and I can't move the document. I tried "Copy" and paste but it doesn't work. I tried "Share" with Airdrop and iChat, but the file is inaccessible. When i try to rename the file, it says the filename is too long.
When I try to open it, it says the alias is not good, and asks if I want to fix the alias. I'm afraid to do that and lose all access to this document.
Right now, it feels like a ghost document - it is on the computer intact, but it is in an undisclosed location and inaccessible.
Please help!!

I was able to resolve this by repairing permissions, even though no permissions error was listed specifically for that file.
I could also have recovered it through Time Machine, but I'm interested in knowing how not to have this happen again!
I was afraid of rebooting and possibly losing track even of the ghost.
I did not try EasyFind - I'll keep that in mind next time.
Thanks for all the comments.

Snow Leopard cannot run on a PPC G5 Mac as it requires an Intel processor. Please confirm what Mac you have.

HT201263 I'm so disgusted! I just realised I will lose the photos of my daughter's birth... And why??? because I pushed a stupid button for a software update???? Apple,..I need a solution. I haven't paid this device to have this kind of issues.

I'm so disgusted! I just realised I will lose the photos of my daughter's birth... And why??? because I pushed a stupid button for a software update???? Apple,..I need a solution. I haven't paid this device to have this kind of issues.
My Iphone is still in the recovery mode and I don't know if there is a way to restart it without losing my photos? I made the last backup months ago...:(((

I'm a little confused. At what point did the phone go into Recovery mode? Did you just leave it alone for awhile after you clicked the update button? I just updated my phone, and after the initial download, the phone restarted itsef a couple of times, installing the update in the process. When you do an update, you need to leave your device alone until it is completely done.
As far as your photos go, sorry, but if you have not backed them up, and you are truely in Recovery mode, then you won't have any way to restore them.
Are they in your Photo Stream in iCloud by any chance?
If not, and you have to do a Recovery, then you won't be able to restore them from a backup.
But if they were so important, why wouldn't you have backed them up?
You cannot blame Apple for this. What if your phone had been stolen, or you had lost it? You would be in the same boat - you would lose your photos.
So, two things:
Are you sure your phone isn't just completing the update? Have you let it do it's thing for 20 or 30 minutes? If not, leave it alone and see if it is in the same condition in 30 minutes.
If you have, then determine if you have those photos in your Photo Stream. If you do, then they should still be there when you restore your device and sign back onto iCloud.

27" 2009 iMac is stuck on white screen after OS X Maverick update

27" 2009 iMac is stuck on white screen after OS X Maverick update. How do I get past this White Screen? I have tried to use the PRAM reset, holding down Shift,Command, R, and P after turning off computer then when I turn it on, having those pressed until I see the apple symbol. I only hear one chime. Never get to a second chime. Thank you.

What Mac model do you have? You might be able to upgrade the OS to Tiger 10.4 or Leopard 10.5.
Even browsers for Tiger 10.4 will get the update message.
You could try a newer browser than Safari, which is obsolete, by downloading Firefox v2.0.0.20 at http://www.oldapps.com/mac/firefox.php

[Solved]Black screen after "waiting for udev uevents to be processed"

Hello friends,
Starting from late Dec., my laptop goes black screen after "waiting for udev uevents to be processed", after updating kernel to 2.26.32.*. The strange thing is that even the screen is black, the keyboard is working. For example, I can turn on/off the status lights of capslock and others. I guess something might be wrong with udev uevents configuration with regard to the latest kernel. I've noticed that in the new kernel, there are two drivers for intel integrated graphics. My laptop has a 855G, which is supposed to be functional by both drivers, at least according to the kernel description. Maybe because the udev is configured to use the second driver (for newer graphic chips), rather than the first driver, which caused the problem?
Regards,
Wen
