HHi I have a 2011 Mac with Os X 10.8.1. Need any OS X update .?

https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2463 is a guide to where to post. As for upgrading 10.8 is also known as Mountain Lion.    You can upgrade to 10.8.5 combo without losing too much compatibility, and that operating system does offer more security updates than under 10.8.1 alone.  Verify with any software you do have working that it has been tested under 10.8.5.  Tweaks may make some software fail.  10.9 and 10.10 are different enough that I wouldn't upgrade unless you are willing to handle interface changes and greater changes in compatibility.  Before upgrading, or installing new software always backup your data: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1992

    I have an i Mac with airport wireless.What steps do I need to take to change name of wireless(airport)???

    You should use Airport Utility, in your Utilities folder (or you can search for it in Spotlight, the magnifying glass in the top right of your screen) to administer the Airport. There, you can change the wireless network settings, including the network name.

    My Mac book pro keeps saying "connection time out occurred" I have a 2011 pro with all the latest updates. It keeps doing it and it really annoys me! Please help!

    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    Restart the router. Many problems are solved that way.
    Step 2
    Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
    Step 3
    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
    Click the Assist me button and select Assistant. Follow the prompts.
    Step 4
    Back up all data.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
    Step 5
    You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
    Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    Potential sources of interference
    Step 6
    Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.

  • I have an old Mac with OS x 10.5.8 how do I upgrade to support Facetime

    I have an old Mac with OS X 10.5.8, can I upgrade to support FaceTime? Thanks

    KDam,
    Please allow me to make a suggestion -- I looked on the Skype site regarding system requirements for Osx.
    Accordingly, they list 10.5 as an acceptible operating system for their application.  In your case I would seriously consider Skype over FaceTime.  I don't think it's worth all the effort to go through the headaches such an upgrade can cause, just to be able to use FT.

  • Hi, in our Enterprise environment, we have a single mac with Mavericks version 10.9.2 and Office for Mac 14.4.1. When setting up outlook, we are trying to connect to a mailbox on exchange server 2007.

    Hi, in our Enterprise environment, we have a single mac with Mavericks version 10.9.2 and Office for Mac 14.4.1. When setting up outlook, we are trying to connect to a mailbox on exchange server 2007. We put in the EWS details in the server field since our autodiscover function is not functioning. But still it doesn't work. There are no errors, no popups. We turned on the logging and in the logs, it says a error of -3259. We are stuck and any help will be really appreciated.

    I have a customer experiencing exactly the same issue. Their computer is running Windows 7 Pro with Office 2007 SP3. After seemingly exhausting all troubleshooting options, I backed up their data, formatted the hard drive and performed a clean install of
    Windows and all their applications. It didn't solve the problem!
    What's strange is the customer also has a laptop computer, running the same version of Outlook, and that doesn't experience any problems connecting to Office 365 on the same network.
    My next step is to send the customer a new ADSL modem/router to try.
    I have another customer on Office 365, also running Outlook 2007, and they also experience issues with emails sitting in the outbox while Outlook displays the status message “Outlook is trying to retrieve data from the Microsoft exchange server outlook.office365.com.”
    In this case Outlook doesn't freeze/stop responding, like it does for the first customer I mentioned.

    This article says you can keep using your email with devices that don't support iCloud: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4929?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    I don't know what the required email settings are, though.

  • HT1338 if I have an old mac with OS X, how can I update if Apple doesn't recognise that I need an update?!!

    if I have an old mac with OS X, how can I update if Apple doesn't recognise that I need an update?!!

    You need to buy an upgrade if one is compatible with your Mac model.
    PowerPC G3 Macs can only go to 10.4.11.
    PowerPC G4 and G5 Macs can only go to 10.5.8.
    Macs with a Core Solo or Core Duo CPU can only go to 10.6.8.
    Core 2 Duo and better Macs can go to 10.7.5 or 10.8.3 depending on their model. Upgrading to either requires going through 10.6.

  • I have an I mac with Lion and the curser freezes, what can be done.

    I have an I mac with Lion and the curser freezes. It froze in Word, Safari, Iphoto, and photoshop, what can be done?.

    4GB of RAM is not very much RAM these days particularly if you tend to have many windows open at one time. For example if you are working in Safari and have several tabs open and then work on a Photoshop project that will eat a lot of RAM. One simple way to check is open Activity Monitor (Applications - Utilities - Activity Monitor) and click the System Memory tab. Run this under typical use and check the amount of FREE RAM. It will look something like:
    I can see from my example I am dangerously low on RAM by the amount of free RAM I have. I suspect if you upgrade to 8, 12 or even 16GB of RAM your machine would work much better. BTW ...my MacBook Air is limited to 4GB so it's up to me to manage my RAM better.

  • I HAVE A I MAC WITH MOUNTAIN LION BUT WHEN I DOWNLOAD MAVERICKS ALL STAR GOING BAD AND RIOGTH NOW THE COMPUTER DOESNT START I AM **** UP HOW CAN RESTORE MY ORIGINAL OS LION MOUNTINE

    I HAVE A I MAC WITH MOUNTAIN LION BUT WHEN I DOWNLOAD MAVERICKS ALL STAR GOING BAD AND RIGTH NOW THE COMPUTER DOESNT START I AM **** UP HOW CAN RESTORE MY ORIGINAL OS LION MOUNTINE.
    OR WHAT CAN I DO TO RESTORE MY COMPUTER THERE IS A LOT INFORMATION THERE WHY MAVERICKS IS TROUBLESHOOTING.

    Don't post in all caps.  Besides being more difficult to read it's tantamount to shouting and is considered rude in forums.  What problems are you having? What model Mac do you have, how much RAM and free space on the boot drive?
    Boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down) and try the following in order as needed:
    1 - select Disk Utility and repair both the disk and disk permissions.  Reboot normally.
    2 - reinstall the Mavericks system.

  • How can I completely wipe the hard drive with out the Mac OS X disc? I don't need any of the info on the computer.

    How can I completely wipe the hard drive with out the Mac OS X disc? I don't need any of the info on the computer.

    You can't unless you have a bootable system on an external drive you can use. Otherwise, you need either the original disc that came with your computer or a retail copy of Snow Leopard DVD. The latter contains 10.6.3, so your model must be capable of booting from that or an earlier version of OS X.
    You can purchase replacement discs from Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Apple - Support - Contact Apple Support.
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.

    I have an older Mac desktop, version 10.5.8. I need to reinstall Image Capture. Help, please.

    Do you have the original gray system disks that came with the computer, or a full retail install disk set for 10.5? If so, you can use a utiltiy:
    http://charlessoft.com/pacifist_olderversions.html
    to extract just Image Capture from the disk and install it. Otherwise, you  would have to reinstall the entire OS
