If your computer is running an OS X prior to Snow Leopard 10.6,
the answer (if it is an Intel-based Mac; not old PowerPC model)
would be to buy the retail Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD from Apple
for about $20, and install it. Then update that to 10.6.8 by using
the installed Snow Leopard online to get Combo Update v1.1 for
Snow Leopard 10.6.8. After that is installed & updated, run the
system's Software Update again, to see what else is available to
that system.
Later systems can then be looked into at Mac App Store, once
the computer is running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
And if your computer is a Power PC (G4/G5, etc) and has no
Core2Duo kind of CPU -- See "About this Mac" in apple menu
to disclose the general info about your Mac. Also you can see
even more by clicking on "More Info" when looking in there...
If it isn't an Intel-based Mac, it can't run a system past 10.5.8.
Hopefully this helps.
Good luck & happy computing!

I have an old Airport Extreme that I want to password protect. I being told that Airport Utility 5.6 is needed to manage the base station. When I download it and try to install that utility I told that it is not compatible with OS X 10.7.4

The odds are that you downloaded AirPort Utility 5.6.1.....which will only work with Leopard and Snow Leopard Macs.
Since your post indicates that you are using Lion 10.7.4, you need the correct utility for Lion. The link is below:

I have mac pro and firefox 3.0.19
I am trying to download a video from youtube.?
I can see the video. I want to download it and save in my computer to see it again.
I have download helper. While the 3 red,blue,and yellow sphere are turning, It gives me the choice of place to save,and when I click and choose desktop , for example, this message comes ."Conversion requires an external application that appears to be missing on your system. Configure conversion ?
When I click on okay, another page comes, which says" converter and a box next to it . in the box is written FFMpeg. but I can change it to MEncoder. In another box, says configure conversion rules. When I click on it, nothing happen.Thanks for your help.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I want to download a video from youtube

No, this reply is not helpful. It simply generates this little gem:
"This service requires the conversion feature to be enabled.
Configure conversion ?"
And the same clicking on buttons that makes nothing happen and going around in circles with the escape key.

I just bought the new iPad over the weekend. Restored from the old iPad backup - got everything moved onto the new one gave the old one to my daughter - wiped my 4 email accounts off of the old device and then she proceeded to delete all but about 3 apps from the thing. It had no effect on my new iPad.
You are good to go!

HT1338 It says there is no updates for my mac, but I do not have the newest version. It is needed for my new iphone 5.

Why wont my Macbook update? It says there are no updates but I am not running the most current update.

No upgrade to the next version of OS X has ever been free.
Updates to the version you are already running are free.
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
OS 10.6 Snow Leopard is once again available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:

and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.

HT1338 I have just put a small dent in my sons Mac Pro13. I feel terrible. Can I get a new skin for it?

I have just put dent and scratch on my sons MacPro. Can I get a new top skin for it.

You would have to inquire at an Apple Store or call Apple Customer Support. Since accidental damage is Not covered under the Warranty, I'm afraid it might be very expensive to replace the case.

HT4623 Trying to update through itunes. Keep getting message that itunes is up to date.

I am trying to update my iphone through iTunes. It tells there is an update (6.0) available but when I select Update I get the message that my iTunes is current.

I would suspect that the version of your OS is 1.5.8.
You can call 1800MYAPPLE and order a 10.6 disk, it should run around $29

The new Firefox has removed my Yahoo mail and other settings. Why? How do I get them back? It gives me a screen that says go "here" but nothing happens.

Before the latest update, I used Firefox almost exclusively. Now that the new version has removed, or hidden, my entire Yahoo settings and pages, I can't use Firefox at all.

hello, how to restart firefox into safemode is described in the link i've provided in my prior answer.
other users also had problems with yahoo mail when they were using the ghostery addon - do you have it installed too by any chance? if so, add an exception for yahoo mail: click on the ghostery icon while you're in yahoo's webmail, choose "edit blocking options" & then don't block on this domain...

What will happen if I pull the new pages out of my applic folder and try to use the 09 pages?

I'm tired of fighting the new (less functional) Pages. I created a 16 page newsletter in the 09Pages version but when I opened it today it had been transferred into the newer version and It had lost a bunch of data I had designed into it. I had gotten instruction from an Apple support person on how to tell it to open in the old version so I quit the new version and opened the old one but it's not working according to her directive. It keeps telling me I have to download a newer version to open it. What would happen if I pull the new version out of the applications folder .... will that disable it temporarily and allow me to use only the old version?

Using Get Info to change all documents to open with Pages 4.3 doesn't work. It will work on individual files, but that could be a lot of files to reset.
If you want to keep Pages 5 there are a couple of methods to make Pages 4.3 the default. Just make sure you've reverted or converted any files to iWork '09 format first. If you don't want to keep Pages 5 you can delete it.
Method 1:
This was first posted by another user in this forum. I can't remember who or when. It has been "fine-tuned" by Peter Breis & I added a note for what works for me.
1. Move any new iWork apps in another clearly labelled folder. I created a new folder in Applications & named it iWork 13.
2. Menu > Apple > System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy > drag the above folder into the list
3. Move the new iWork folder into the trash (temporarily)
4. Select any Pages file in Finder > Menu > Info (cmd+i) > Open with: > Pages '09 > Change all
5. Retrieve the new iWork folder from the trash (right-click > Put back)
Pages 5 should no longer appear as a default App, and you won't have to keep a copy in a separate drive or dmg.
Important: Make a note of where and how Pages was installed for the next App Store update and temporarily move it back there before putting it away again in the folder concealed from Spotlight.
Method 2:
This is the one I used based on several posts here shortly after Pages 5 was released. I now use method 1 because I find it easier to apply updates when Apple releases them.
1. After I installed the new iWork updates I created a folder on an external drive & named it "other applications."
2. I then moved the new iWork apps to this folder & renamed the applications Keynote 6, Pages 5 & Numbers 3.
I have icons for two versions of Pages & Numbers (I rarely use Keynote) in my Dock. Even with two versions of Pages & Numbers running, double-clicking an existing file opens in Pages 4.3 or Numbers 2.3. This should also keep the Mac App Store from nagging you to update.

I can't find mac os x 10.5. The version of itunes I need for my new iphone won't install without mac os x 10.5 at least.

This makes no sense, since I am finding all kinds of versions after 10.5 for download.

Hi, Apple no longer gas or sells Leo/10.5, youd have to search eBay & such for a Retail copy, but 10.6 would be cheaper if your Mac can handle it...
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
