Hi!  Why isn't it letting me download?

I have the early 2008 white macbook...  I'm trying to download iMovie, but it says I need 10.something or later to download.  I tried to intsall Montain Lion, but it says it's not compatible with my computer,  What can I do????
Thanks!

Phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7, or buy an iLife 11 DVD from a source such as Amazon or eBay.

  • Why isn't the song i downloaded not on my Ipod?

    why isn't the song i downloaded not on my Ipod?

    Does any media sync to the iPod?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod       
    Try syncing using the manual method                
    Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing those songs? (iTunes purchases only)

  • Why apple do not let iran download any apps and gives error 1009

    why apple do not let iran download any apps and gives error 1009 . we can just download apps with VPN or ANTI FILTER .
    iran`s people are realy good people but some of Authorities are bad .
    APPLE pls dont think bad about us . we want Peace but our Authorities ...
    please slove the problem of error 1009 ...

    Apple has no App Store in Iran. The US Government has severe restrictions on US companies doing business in Iran, and there may well be other issues such as lack of available infrastructure, issues with Iranian law, or other problems that would also prevent Apple from doing business there.
    Unless and until Apple is able to open an App Store in your country there's nothing you can do, and quite frankly I think that's not likely to happen anytime in the foreseeable future.

  • My itunes keeps asking me to set my permissions.  they are set to read and write for all accounts, admin, everybody, etc.  don't know why it won't let me download

    my itunes keeps asking me to set my permissions.  they are set to read and write for all accounts, admin, everybody, etc.  don't know why it won't let me download

    Ever find a real solution to this? I just posted something similar - been having the issues ever since I started using the mac.
    I have 5 mac accounts: 2 of those are admins.
    After I installed every program I may possibly want, I redid all my user accounts (as I had been having a lot of permissions issues before that). My (admin) account downloads fine. Another admin account, set up exactly as mine, periodically gets prompted that it doesn't have the right to download.
    To avoid duplication, I have a /common/music directory for all itunes accounts music. We have to periodically do a recursive permissions deal on the 2nd admin account so it can put music there, even though that directory is read/write for everyone. Apple's never been able to help me on this...

  • Why won't it let me download apps?

    I just got my iphone 5s last night, and I proceeded to download all the apps I wanted until I came across one that said I needed to update, so I updated my phone and in the morning I downloaded that app and one more, after which when I tried to download an app it would ask me to type in my password and I did, and it looks like it goes through just fine but then nothing happens, and I don't have the app. I thought that was maybe just an incompatibility with my phone, as they were relatively older apps, and I thought nothing of it. I later on tried to download Spotify, and it did the same thing, so I knew something was wrong. I looked on these forums, and found some that said to log out of your account then log back in at Settings->iTunes & App Store. So I did this, and as I tried to log back in it again looked like it was loading and then just didn't do anything at all. Now I am very concerned as this is legitimately a day old iPhone, and it already won't let me download any apps. Any help at all would be extremely appreciated! Thanks!

    That's just how it is.
    Do you already have an Apple ID? If not, you can make one without a credit card.
    You'll need to be signed out of anything Apple and you'll need an e-mail you've never used with them. THen try to download a free app, when there's the prompt to sign in or make an apple ID, choose to make one, follow the prompts and you should see the 'none' option to make the ID without a credit card.

  • Why won't itunes let me download the songs I've purchased?

    About a week or two ago I pre-ordered the new A7x album (which came out today) and it says all the songs are purchesed but it wont let me download them. What do I do?

    Hey Trevsauce,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    The following article outlines the procedure of pre-orders and redeeming the download:
    Downloading a pre-ordered item
    When a pre-order item becomes available, you will receive an email letting you know your pre-order is available for download.
    If you've enabled iTunes to automatically download prepurchased content, then your pre-order content may already be downloaded to your library. If not, simply click the download link provided within your email notification, and your pre-order content will begin to download. Alternatively you can use the "Check for Available Downloads" feature in iTunes on your computer by choosing Store > Check for Available Downloads to begin downloading your pre-order.

  • Why isn't Java letting me change the background color of the current panel?

    Basically, I am just trying to learn all there is about interactive mouse gestures and am attempting to build some sort of frankenstein-ish paint program.
    Here is the code:
    import java.awt.Color;
    import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
    import java.awt.event.MouseListener;
    import java.awt.event.MouseMotionListener;
    import javax.swing.JButton;
    import javax.swing.JFrame;
    import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
    import javax.swing.JPanel;
    public class MyPaint extends JPanel
        JButton button;
        JFrame frame;
        int currentX;
        int currentY;
        int counter = 1;
        public MyPaint()
            createComponents();
            addComponentsToPanels();
            setFrameProperties();
            activateListeners();
        public void addComponentsToPanels()
            this.add(button);
        public void createComponents()
            button = new JButton("Button");
            button.setToolTipText("This is the first button");
        public void setFrameProperties()
            frame = new JFrame();
            frame.setSize(400,400);
            frame.setResizable(false);
            frame.setVisible(true);
            frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
            frame.add(this);
        public void activateListeners()
            MyMouseListener listener = new MyMouseListener();
            button.addMouseListener(listener);
            button.addMouseMotionListener(listener);
        private class MyMouseListener implements MouseListener, MouseMotionListener
            MyPaint myPaint = new MyPaint();
            public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) throws UnsupportedOperationException
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"The mouse was clicked!");
            public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) throws UnsupportedOperationException
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"The mouse was pressed!");
            public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) throws UnsupportedOperationException
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"The mouse was released!");
            public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) throws UnsupportedOperationException
                myPaint.setBackground(Color.RED); // why isn't this working? - I want the original panel to be red (not the newly created windows on top)
            public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) throws UnsupportedOperationException
                myPaint.setBackground(Color.BLUE); // why isn't this working? - I want the original panel to be blue (not the newly created windows on top)
            public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e) throws UnsupportedOperationException
                currentX = e.getX();
                currentY = e.getY();
                repaint();
            public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e) throws UnsupportedOperationException // why is this only being called once?
                System.out.println("mouseMoved: " + counter);
                counter++;
        public static void main(String[] args)
            new MyPaint();
    }I would just like to know how to make the inner class set the background of the panel of the outer class of the same window instead of doing what I want but in a newly opened window.
    Any help in fixing this would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks! I just wanted to add:
    In addition to commenting out MyPaint myPaint = new MyPaint() and removing the this keyword when dereferencing setBackground() in MyMouseListener , I also changed
    button.addMouseListener(listener);
    button.addMouseMotionListener(listener);
    into
    this.addMouseListener(listener);
    this.addMouseMotionListener(listener);
    so that the colour changes when you hover the cursor in or out of the panel instead of the button.

  • Why isn't audiobook available for download on my computer?

    I just got an audiobook on my iPad, but on my iPod touch and my computer, the "Buy" button is still there instead of the "download" button. I've checked my "Purchased" page and it's not there, but on my computer, I looked at my purchase history from the "Account" option, and it was there....So why can't I find the download option anywhere?

    Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store - I believe that they are all supplied to Apple by audible.com, so it's possibly them that are requiring the one-time download. You should be able to connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to your computer (they should copy over to the Books part of your library) and you then sync them to your iPod (and take a backup copy).

  • Why won't iTunes let me download or play my matched and uploaded music?

    According to iTunes, I have 5,009 songs now available in iCloud. Most of these were either matched or uploaded. They are not stored locally on my PC, as I use an external hard drive for that, and it's not hooked up right now.  I want to listen to some of my music on the PC.
    When I open iTunes, the iCloud status reflects that songs are matched or uploaded, but there is no download icon next to them -- the only songs with that icon are ones that I originally purchased from iTunes.  And there are also many songs that were purchased from iTunes that also don't have a download icon next to them.  Everything has an exclamation point next to it, reflecting that my external hard drive isn't connected. And if I double-click any of the songs that don't have a download icon (most of them), I get the standard message that iTunes can't locate the song. 
    I've tried turning Match off and on multiple times, and also updating Match. Tried exiting iTunes and reopening.  Nothing helps. In fact, every time I turn Match back on, it asks me if I want to add this computer to iCloud -- as if I haven't added it 10 times already.
    Match has been working fine on my iPod. 
    Here's what I'm seeing, just to illustrate -- you can see that there is a download icon next to the songs in one album, which was purchased, but nothing netx to the otehrs, which are all matched or uploaded:
    I'm going nuts. Can anyone help me figure out what's going on or what I'm doing wrong?

    I agree with Michael.  What's happening is because you broke the link to your external drive.  As far as Match is concerned, you still have all of those songs available to you locally. 
    If you've never created a new library in iTunes, it's easy and painless.  Switching back to your main library after you hook back up your external drive is easy too.  On a Mac you just hold down the option key when launching iTunes to get the prompt to either create a new library or to link to one  you already have - simple as that.
    For what it's worth, I set up a second library after enabling iTunes Match.  All I put in it is new music I want added to the cloud.  It saves me a lot of time and if I really want a copy of the songs locally in my main library, they still show up via Match as downloads, so I can grab them anytime.

  • Does anyone know why iBooks won't let me download a new purchase?

    I am frustrated for some reason I cannot download from iBooks.  I have over 20 books and for some reason it will not let me purchase a new book.  I downloaded a sample but cannot get the entire book.  Has anyone had this problem?

    Mr. MJ, I know that. I'm not trying to download ibooks or a book on ibooks onto my computer. I'm trying to purchase a book from within the ibooks APP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Since you did not read my original post, I will repost it here for you:
    "everytime i click "download" in the ibookstore, it says that i need to purchase this book, but it won't allow me to purchase it. I tried emailing apple, and my questions go unanswered"
    To explain further: I see the book that I want to purchase, the button says, "download" I tap that, then I get a warning saying "YOU NEED TO PURCHASE THE BOOK BEFORE YOU CAN DOWNLOAD IT." So please tell me, how can i purchase a book when the ibookstore will not let me purchase it?
    I've tried deleting the ibooks app and reinstalling it. I've tried updating my credit card info. I've changed my password. How can i purchase this book??????
